Vol. XI, No. 4 Pennsylvania State University, Delaware County Campus October 11, 1979 A Papal Visit One Million Pope John Paul II visited Philadelphia on October 3 -just one stop for the Pontiff during his week-long tour of several American cities.

Enthusiastic sections of the crowd sang folk and religious tunes while they anticipated the Pontiff’s ap- pearance.

The crowd waited, spirits undampened, as it rained steadily throughout the day. “1 hold out my hands to the youth of America,’ He said. Saying modern society had driven many people into the escapism of drugs. violence and sexual pleasure, Greet Pope in Phila. into view, and the crown went wild. The Pope was smiling ra- diantly despite a hectic tour- ing schedule. He greeted the Philadelphians saying, ‘I feel I am truly among friends and I feel very much at home in your midst." .He spoke of brotherhood and freedom. ‘The Declara- tion of Independence and the Statue of Liberty are two monuments that exemplify the spirit and freedom on which this country was founded.” He went on to say, ‘Your attachment to liberty and freedom is part of Pope Appeals to U.S. Youth the Pope urged brotherly love as the only path toward human dignity. “I propose the option of love which is the opposite of escape,” he told the rain- drenched faithful on the Boston Common. “If you really accept that love from Christ it will lead you to God, perhaps in the priesthood or religious life; perhaps in some special ser- vice to your brothers and sisters; especially to the needy, the poor, the lonely, the abandoned, those whose your heritage.” The Pontiff also included a message to Catholics. He urged Catholics to renew both faith and interest in their religion. The Pope reminded priests and studying semarians of the importance of celibacy. A mass followed the speech, for which 300,000 communion wafers were prepared. More than a hun- dred Catholics received Holy Communion directly from the Pope. “Let peace abide with you,” He said, as the mass concluded. : —George Hamaty rights have been trampled upon or those whose basic needs have not been provid- ed for. ‘Real love is demanding,” he said. *'1 would fail in my mission if I’ did not clearly tell you so. “Dear young people, do not be afraid of honest effort and honest work. Do not be afraid of the truth.” American youth, he added, should be *‘resisting tempta- tion, fads and every form of mass manipulation.” Artist and Lecture Series Juggernaut Performs An old-time string band, per- forming folk songs and original material plus a few early jazz and pop favorites, came to the Delaware County Campus in September. Members of the Juggernaut String Band call and teach traditional square dancing to students of all ages. The band has recently completed a suc- cessful tour of wid-western United States and ‘reat Bri- tain.

New enrollment records also were set for Penn State's Com- monwealth Campus system, the Behrend College, the Col- lege of Medicine at Hershey and five individual Com- monwealth Campuses, Dr. Robert E. Dunham, vice presi- dent for undergraduate studies, told the Trustees, “In addition, University Park experienced its best year ever in freshman admissions,” Dr. Dunham said. “The Commonwealth Cam- pus enrollment is a record 16,772, another indication that this system is doing its primary job of serving the higher educa- tion needs of communities around the State.” Dr. Dunham said enrollment records were set by the Allen- town Campus (415 students, up 17.9 percent); Altoona (1,797, up 9.3); Hazelton (1.030, up 8.5): Ogontz (2,153. up 5.6) and York (955, up 14.1). Behrend College enrollment is a record 1,825, an increase of 299 over last year, and the Col- lege of Medicine is up by 52 students to a record 556. Enrollment at University Park totals 31,792. Since all figures are preliminary, most probably will be slightly higher when final tabulations are completed later this tear, Dr. Dunham said. —Reprinted from Penn State Intercom s New Faces On Campus Four new faculty members have come to the Delaware County Campus for Fall term.
