THE LION'S EYE Penn State University Delaware County Campus Media, Pa. 19063 REPRESENTED FOR NATIONAL ADVERTISING BY CASS Student Advertising, Incorporated 1633 West Central St. : Evanston, Illinois 60201 Eye November 3, 1981 Donna Larsen Mike Drossner Welcom e From The Dean All of us in Student Affairs welcome you to the Delaware County Campus! I am pleased to send greetings once again to those of you whom I have met and to you students I have yet the pleasure of meeting, as you embark on one of the most memorable periods of your life, your college career. Congratulations are also in order to you for being chosen to attend the University. Natur- ally, this speaks well of your academic performance up to this time. However, I should like to point out that the years you are in college will probably be the last time in your life you will be able to devote most of your energies toward self- improvement. So choose your academic and social activities wisely as you move forward on the road to professionalism by being a “thinking doer’ not a “wishing hoper’’. The future is yours ... go get it! Once again, I hope that this experience will be a happy one for you, full of fond memories and pride at being able to call yourself a student of The Pen- nsylvania State University. Take advantage of what is here. In the Penn State tradi- tion, work hard, play hard, and most of all, contribute something of yourself to the life of the Campus. Best Wishes To All of You Edward F. Linder, Jr. Dean of Student Affairs Letter From The Editor It is my privledge as editor of the Lions Eye to introduce you to our first newspaper publication of the 1981 - 82 school year. The “LIONS EYE” has always been a quality tradition at Penn State. With the constant flow of important news stories, organizational activities, and services offered by nearby businesses, the newspaper is a vital part of your campus life. Because of this, the LIONS EYE staff is even more determined to better the tradition set before them. I would like to encourage dedicated students who are interested in journalism, photography, and newspaper production to join the LIONS EYE staff to help us with our goal. In closing, I wish all of my fellow students the best of luck in this school year. I hope you enjoy reading the LIONS EYE and, as always, your comments are welcome. Donna Larsen Editor - in - Chief Why the Military Buildup by John Boyer Little boys and girls were coughing up blood. Blisters were turning yellow. This was the scene in the Southeast Asian country of Laos shortly after the United States gradu- ally began to withdrawal its troops from Vietnam during the early 1970’s. No one protested, few even noticed. The insen- sitive slaughter of these few Laotians, who reisted the North Vietnamese — Soviet spon- sored — Army, was appalling. Right now the Soviets are using more potent chemicals against the desperate and over- whelmed people of Afganistan. Cruel, inhuman, startling? Yes. Few Americans, and prob-. ably fewer college students are interested in current events. So many of us think in terms of the pre-Pearl Harbor isolationists. The fact is the Soviet Union wants to dominate the world. “Oh yeah, I learned that but it went out the other ear.” The Soviets are more threatening to us, The United States, than ever before. They are presently surrounding Saudi Arabia in- tending to cut-off our oil, oil which we can live without — for about two weeks. The Soviets are doing more than challeng- ing our interests — they're threatening freedom. Already they’ve suppressed freedom by means of supporting terrorism, Cuban troops, and East Ger- man ‘‘advisors’’ in countries such as South Yemen (which is on the Arabian Peninsula), Karate Club Bruce Lee flying gracefully through the air, crashing feet first into a gang of criminals, sending them all painfully biting the dust beneath them. For most people that is the definition of Karate, but here at - PSU Delco there is a group of men and women who much more clearly know what karate is all about. . Karate in the athletic sense is | a physical sport of grace, preci- sion and discipline. Here at PSU it is taught to beginner through expert.

It’s ironic that during a time when more and more Americans are getting educated fewer know what's going on around the globe. In fact, while experienced prestigious Western generals cry out desperate need for more defense, 43% of our public think that further budget cuts should come from the military. (Time, October 5, 1981.) Where budget cuts should be made is not the only place our public has been misguided. Par- tially because of the media, most american perceive Alexander Haig as a belligerent “hawk’’ — a man sure to cause trouble. Few realize the degree of respect that forceful men, like Haig, can command from their adversaries — specifically As one former president points out “You have to be able to stand up to the Soviets before you can sit down with them.” We must learn from ex- perience, in U.S. — Soviet rela- tions, that nice guys really do finish last in the game of inter- national politics. At the same Mozambique, “we can provide” time we must learn not to over- react to the bait they set. The Soviets are expansionists who intend to expand at every chance. The only real way we can protect our allies and in- terests is by a position of strength. This, if anything, in- creases our chances of averting war. With the present Soviet in- tentions graphically spelled out- for us, the Republicans claim that ‘“‘Military spending is the most important social service becomes ominously relevant. We should back our President's proposal to rebuild our military forces, realizing that his inten- tions are to make the United States, once again, a worth- while ally but a dangerous enemy. In terms of deterrence, this method works better than trying to intellectualize the use of non-violence. Ronald Reagan has ‘‘Said Goodbye to Hollywood.” Now its our turn. We can do so by reacting in a realistic way to prevent the spreading of communist tyr- anny — in other words by sup- porting a stronger U.S. military posture. A continuing series of career news and information by Career Development and Placement Center (coPg Counselor Stenken M. Sciscione. The process of doosing or deciding on a college major can be a frustrating time of indecision and stress. The starting point for making this type of decision is an examination of yourself. The first Career Station in the CDPC is designed to help “facilitate this search by focusing on personal interests, values, and abilities. The ‘self-assessment is accomplished through reflection on past experiences (for example: What are your ac- complishments? Skills? Interests?). The use of references and programmed instruction booklets that are self-administered and self-evaluated, as well as an occupational view deck, can help in the search. Self exploration is thought of as the first vital step in Career/Life planning and consists of such elements as short term goal setting, determining what your values are, lifestyle choice, and techniques for effective decision making. Five-week career exploration workshops will be offered in the CDPC during Winter Term. If you are interested in a self- exploration as part of your career decision-making, contat CDPC Counselor Stephen M. Sciscione. The Career Development and Placement Center is located in the Student Affairs Modular Building.
