Tennis swings
into action
The Highacres Women's Ten
nis Team is finally into full swing
for the 'BO season. Even though
the team is composed of ten new
members, Coach Deidre Jago is
confident that the girls will post a
winning record. Wendy Eckert,
Kathie Androlewicz, Carol Poz
da, Maryellen Kovatch, and
Dianne McKenzie all have high
school experience, and the rest of
the team have shown their
athletic abilities also. Other team
members include Marlene
Marinos, Carol Meiser, Suzan
Selgrath, Donna Tarapchak, and
Linda Trinkle. Only five matches
remain of, this season, three away
and two at home on April 24 and
26. The climax of the season will
be on Friday and Saturday, May
9 and 10, where only the top two
singles and doubles players will
compete in the C.C.A.C. Tourna
ment at University Park.
Arts Studio
to open?
Though it's been slow in com
ing, the art studio may finally be
opened for student use by the end
of this month. And with a project
like this, which involved concer
ting the old chemistry lab into a
hobby center, there are bound to
be many problems and setbacks.
Mr. Ev Binns, who is in charge of
the project, revealed a few of the
problems which postponed this
opening. One of the problems was
what to do with another allotment
of money that had been donated
to the project. Where and how to
spend it became a concern re
quiring more time. Some of this
money has been used to fund a
photographic dark room. This in
volved plumbing, lighting and
still more time. Delayed ship
ment of some equipment also
postponed the opening. There
were also no instructors on cam
pus qualified to teach any type of
art class. Volunteers had to be
found. Other problems including
administrative problems—that
is, who would keep an eye on
things, when could students use
it, who would keep the keys,
etc.—still have to be solved.
To help get things straightened
out and moving, an Art Studio
Steering Committee has been ap
pointed. This committee includes
Linda Buchan, Cynthia Houser,
Mark Peterson, and Jose Roldan,
Since its inception in 1962, the
Foreign Studies Program has
provided the opportunity for over
3,500 Penn State upperclassmen
and graduate students to par
ticipate in group programs for
regular Penn State academic
credit in a variety of subject
areas.
Students have a choice of four
teen foreign universities in eight
different countries, including
Peru, Kenya, Spain, Italy, and
Taiwan.
