Olympic by Edward Nyerick I was somewhat shocked and confused to hear that the Carter Administration has recently threatened to pull the United States out of the 1980 Summer Olympic Games in Moscow, Russia. What have the Olympic Games become? Am I wrong to suggest that the Olympic Games were originally devised to bring about peaceful competition of athletes from all over the world? Why have the Olympic Games become an antithesis of their primary goal? Is the President using the Olympics as some sort of bargaining chip or retaliatory measure against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan? Should the United States set an ever impressing and reprimanding void in the Summer Olympics? Should we urge other nations to follow the United States and withdraw completely from the games? Why must athletes give up what might have been a rewarding experience in a lifetime of preparation because of politics which happen to go hand in hand with peaceful athletic competition? Perhaps the Summer Olympics should be held in another country besides the Soviet Union. Perhaps the games should be scrapped altogether. I do not hive answers to my questions, but if you do I would be glad to hear them. Early finalists named for Bahamas trip by Edward Nyerick How would you like to spend four days and three nights at the beautiful 'Holiday Inn Beach in Freeport, Grand Bahamas? Well, as you probably know, McDonalds' and W.A.Z.L. have combined to offer this cahance of a lifetime prize. All you have to do is attend a Penn State, Hazleton Campus home basketball game and pick up an entry blank. Fill out and return the entry blank to McDonalds. At half-time on the following Condor's home game, ten persons are selected from the previous home game. These people join those selected at every Condor's home game. The following have been selected for the Condor's first five home games: Dr. Jerry Covert, Len Swankoski, Terry O'Donnell, Herb Welsh, Cathy Wezner, Finn Petersen, Charlie Palermo, Alberta Cann, Lynn Trefsgar, Judy Scalzo, Laura Wagner, Lori Owens, Barry Jais, Bill Shirk, J.

On February 8, 1980, the final drawing will take place at half time of the Hazleton Condors- Baptist Bible College basketball game. Media coverage will include W.A.Z.L. and local and area newspapers and television. Many people have had their names drawn more than once, and of course their odds of winning the vacation trip have been greatly increased. Attendance at the Condor Basketball games has been poor (averaging about 100 persons per game). This results in a 1 in 10 chance of being drawn as a semifinalist. Obviously, the same people have attended the Condor's home games. Thus, their chances have been greatly extended due to the poor turnout of fans. There is no admission to any Penn State- Hazleton Campus Basketball game. There is no cost to pick up an entry blank for the Grand Bahamas' trip. There is still time to attend a Condor Basketball game and start taking advantage of McDonalds' and W.A.Z.L.'s offer for a free $6OO trip to the Bahamas! Act now!
