—The Highacres Collegian, Tuesday, May 16, 1978 Collegian Personality By MARIANNE PINDAR Collegian Staff Writer Some say teaching is not a very exciting occupation, but Stuart Erwin finds the experience very rewarding. To those of you who may not know him, let me briefly introduce him to you. Erwin was born in Glasgow, Scotland and as a child was raised in New York City. He attended Grove City College in Western Pennsylvania where he received his Bachelor’s degree and then graduated from The Pennsylvania State University with his Master’s degree. While at Penn State, Erwin was involved in a teaching assistantship. As a grad student, he found teaching to be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Erwin is single and presently resides in Nescopeck, Pa. He teaches French and Humanities and is currently in his ninth year at Highacres. When asked about his position at Highacres, Erwin said he chose this campus because of job availability at that time and familiarity with this area. As a child, he vacationed with his parents in ,the Pocono Mountains. Erwin also com ' mented that he would like to see an im provement in the morale of the faculty on campus. Erwin actively participates in the sports Oswald Asks Appropriations continued from page l “For the first time in Penn State’s his- tory, we have had to raise tuition two times in an academic year, making Penn State’s new tuition rate the highest of any public land-grant university in the nation. “Penn State has the lowest state ap propriation per student of any four-year public college or university in Pennsyl vania. As a result, students and their families, as well as the programs offered by the University, are being hurt.” Penn State has, in effect, only three op tions as it attempts to deal with its critical financial problems: (1) Increase revenue from additional State appropriation sup port; (2) Make further internal budget cutbacks; and (3) Make another increase in a tuition rate that already is the highest of any public land-grant university in the United States. **************************************** * T ___ M ICE CREAM and SANDWICH SHOPPE 32nd & IN. Cliurrli Slr«*«*tw “The one thing I want in life, is to be ha PPy,” Stuart Erwin said when referring to his goal in life. of tennis and bicycling. A facorite past time for him is being a numismatist and taking care of his pet goldfish—“ Jaws.” He has travelled to Europe four times. As for his future plans, his ambition has always been to travel around the world, but professionally, he wants to continue to teach at a small campus such as Highacres. Erwin’s opinion of our present ad ministration in Washington is that President Carter is not strong enough in executing the policies he would like us to follow. Mr. Erwin is a firm believer in Women’s liberation. For you UFO en thusiasts out there, he has never had a close encounter of the first, second or third kind. Erwin has had a unique experience in this life—he was at one time a Santa Claus for the R.H. Macy department store in the heart of the “big-apple.” He states, “I was nervous, being Santa Claus is a big responsibility.” All-in-all, on his goal in life, Erwin comments, “The one thing I want in life is to be happy.” I hope this article has helped to acquaint you with this month’s collegian per sonality. Players Return continued from page 6 and 32 of their top 44 players returning from last year’s 11-1 squad, which was ranked fourth nationally by the nation’s coaches. “I think we have the makings of an outstanding squad,” Paterno says. “We have fine momentum from last year and we appear to have good leadership. “This could be the quickest team we have had.” Paterno’s main concern is a schedule that has the Lions playing at Ohio State and at Kentucky early in the season and facing three teams that won bowl games last year —Maryland, North Carolina State and Pittsburgh—in November. “We have a very, very difficult schedule; but it will give us an opportunity to show what kind of football team we have,” Paterno says.
