said
The computer may not reg
ister you for a class that is limited to
majors of the department or a class
is full, he added. If students are able
to get the division or a professor to
let them in classes, they will need
an override. The computer will not
let students just register, he said.
Manual overrides are done by
Enrollment Services.
This year the purge process for
spring will be within the first week
of classes. Streveler said that when
students receive their bill from the
university, they should make sure to
file it as soon as possible. This does
not mean you have to pay it but
rather let the university know if you
are getting financial aid, going to
make payment arrangements, etc.

nest because of the way class are
offered. Non-degree students are last
because they are not pursing a
degree from the institution. A num
ber of classes run every semester
due to those students. Or if a sec
tion becomes full rapidly, the
department might be able to offer
another section.
Q: Why is the schedule of classes
confusing?
A: It is assumed that students
have some information from their
prior institutions. Plans are being
made to provide more additional
information. For example, new stu
dents should know what to do do
after their first meeting with the
advisor.
Q: What can students expect in
the future?
A A continuation of the traditional
form for schedule of classes because
many students prefer it. The univer
sity will soon be accepting credit
cards for all classes.
Q: Why is PENN STATE UNI
VERSITY no longer mailing
grades?
A: Many students never got the
grades when mailed. They changed
addresses or got lost. The fmancial
costs of mailing grades to every stu
dent was extremely high compared
to students actually receiving or
wanting them. Most complaints
came from parents.
Q: How do I get my grades?
A: You can call 1-800-876-0354.
Or request a printed copy through

From Bud s et !,..!. 1
Daka, president of International
Affairs Club. Moon continued,
questioning why the clubs received
about $28,000 in all, when SGA
kept $33,000 to themselves.
SGA advisor, Janet Widoff
explained that the SGA underwrites
and supports the activities of all
clubs on campus. She added that
events such a Cabaret, Student
Orientation, club awards and
Rights of Spring are funded by the
remaining $33,000 and that money
was not just left in the hands of
SGA.
SGA Treasurer, Tank
Griggs added that the $33,000 goes
toward all the clubs, not just SGA.
Nieves closed the meeting
saying he knows what XGI is
about and was a member last year.
He added that no one is discount
ing the fact that XGI makes contri
butions to the campus. Stressing
that established guidelines [for
these matters] must be followed to
make sure everybody is "on the
same page."
Kristin McGlellen, who
had just been sworn in as a senator
30 minutes before, expressed her
concerns that Moon was only try
ing to explain his club's situation
and he should be allowed to
address that at an SGA meeting.
Nieves acknowledged
McGlellen and allowed one more
XGI member to speak before
quickly adjoining the meeting say
ing that these meetings end at 1:30
so students can return to classes.
'We are students first and SGA
members second," he said.
XGI will appeal the bud
get decision at a meeting
Wednesday with the SGA finance
committee.

flag is dropped, the ground vibrates and your eardrums
feel like they are about to burst, as if you were standing
right next to a freight train
Fire shoots out of the exhausts. Sparks fly from
beneath the race cars and the smell of rubber fills the air.
Plastic visors that the drivers wear on their hel
mets fly up in the sky after they rip them off from being
too dirty. _ _
Some cars lift up on two wheels and others slide
sideways while racing around the corners. The announcer,
barely heard, shouts out the standings of the race cars as
each of them passes one another.
The tall scoreboard is lit up with bright white
lights showing the fans what lap the cars are on and who
the top five race cars are.
A red light is shown. Everything is silenced.
The fans wait to hear the announcer tell them that the race
car drivers are okay that were involved in the accident.
The race cars that were not involved stop where they are
and shut off their engines.
Firemen standing at the corners of the racetrack
with fire extinguishers, ambulances, wreckers, push
trucks, and pit crew members rush to the scene to make
sure everyone is okay.
The announcer, once heard again, announces
that all the drivers are okay, while the fans applaud and
sigh in relief.
After the dented race cars are towed off the track
and everyone resumes to where thy were, the feature con
tinues.
The moment that all the fans have been waiting
for finally comes to an end. The checkered flag is waved
at the last lap of the feature. Flashes of lights from cam
eras fill the stands as the first-place car passes the finish
line.
