It was a cool fall day when the Bachelor/Bashel orette Auction was held. On Oct. 24th, 1989 an air of excitement filled the Commons. All the stud-’ ents who wish to buy their "dream date" piled in at 9:00 p.m. This event was sponsored by SGA, OTIS, RHC, and SUB. All the proceeds that were collected were given to Kelly Warner's Father, a Penn State Alumni, who is suffering from a kid ney disorder. The first contestants up were the Bachelorettes! The top three bids were as follows: 1. Kristin Erickson (Soph-Theater) Kristin Ferris (Soph-Journalism) They were bought by Ed Lee for $BO.OO, which was the highest bid of the night. 2. Lineete She was bought by Ralph for $47.00, making her the 2nd top bid. 3. Keri Greene (Soph-Pre-Dentristy) Jen Ryan (Soph-Communications) ROVING REPORTER by JENNY HOMELAND HOW FO YOU FEEL ABOUT STUDENTS FROM RESIDENCE HALLE DRIVING TO CLASS? I can't blame them, especially if it's raining or worse. Why don't they nan some kind of shuttle bus? Why don't they make anymore parking lots close to the classrooms? -Darren Sims Off Campus I think that they could park up here if they want, 'out it would be nice if all of us off-campus stud ents had first priority at parking (considering they live right down the hill.) -Scott Houser Off Campus Keri and Jen were bought by Frank Aiello for $40.00 the 3rd highest bid. Next up were the Bach elors. The top three bids for the guys were as follows: 1. Steve Petko (Soph) Dan Hued (Fres-Poli Sci) Steve and Dan were pur chased by Michelle Bravo for $40.00. 2.Chip Owen He was bought by Lisa for #30.00. 3. Glen Power (Soph-Sport Exercise Science) He was purchased for $27.00. The total amount of mon ey collected for the girls was $274.00. The total amount of money collected for the guys was $312.00. The total monies raised was $586.00. This event turned out to be a great success for a great cause. Every student here hopes the money collected will help Kelly's father. -Michele Sales I think they should be able to drive up the hill. If we o'ff-campus students don't want to park at the bottom and walk up, neith er should the on-campus students have to. -Jennifer More Off Campus If I lived on campus and I had an early class, I'd drive too. Especially if the weather was bad or I had a ling night "study ing." I feel parking is first come, first serve. -Robert Letclier Bachelor/Bachetorette Auction A Success! Raise 5 586 for Charity I think that it would be more convienent for off campus students to have the first priority. On the otherhand I think it should be open to all students whether they are on or off campus. -Linell Reaves On Campus I don't think that peop le who live on campus should be told that they can't drive up the hill. Parking is on a Ist come Ist serve basis. If res idence hall students get to the top and find legal parking, they should be able to park there. -Melissa Koehler On Campus I feel it doesn't matter if residence hall students drive to class. I feel if they don't want to walk up the hill, especially for night classes, they have the same opportunity as off campus students. I drive up to class at night and I feel there should be more parking spaces. -Jim Sickonn On Campus I feel that there is no reason for Residence Hall students to drive up the Hill. There is not enough parking space as it is and if residence hall students drive then that only makes the parking situation worse. -Diana Agosto On Canpus Page 4
