March 30, 1982 — LION'S EYE — Page 5 Delaware County Students Goes to ROTC Camp by Mac Chandler Rick Stewart, 06-ENGR., had a chance to spend last summer at a different kind of camp than most of us know about. At Rick’s camp, he had to get up around six in the morning for physical training and exercises, then the remainder of -the day he spent doing different and challenging things, things like navigation courses using only a map and compass, rifle marksmanship, rapelling, first aid, and obstacle courses. He also learned water survival techniques and how to use a radio. Sounds like a Boy Scout camp, huh? Close, but not close enough. What Rick attended was the Army ROTC Basic Camp, which is conducted annually for the purpose of qualifying ap- plicants for enrollir ent into the Advanced ROTC program. The objective of the camp, located in Fort Knox, Kentucky, is to develop a well disciplined, highly motivated, physically conditioned student; to im- prove self confidence, initiative, and leadership techniques; and to inform the student about career opportunities for ROTC graduates. Let’s Play Games, Darling Those of you who caught the innuendo — get that smirk off your face. And those of you who didn’t . ‘well, ask your mother. This is serious business. Play- ing games and even more im- portantly making money for the University. So, grab a friend or ten and come out to Penn State Delaware County Campus to play a bunch of dif- ferent games for as long as you can. There will be frisbee, backgammon, checkers, Atari Video games, soccer, capture the flag, football, volleyball, tennis, basketball, and chess. You guessed it — a GAMES MARATHON — in the making. So, if you have any suggestions for more games to play, or if you wish to participate in the organization of the marathon, contact Bernard Bozeman, (chairman of the committee), or any club president. We need your support. Since the marathon is still in the planning stages, the only definite information is; the marathon will be for 48 hours and held here, on Delaware County Campus from April 30 to May 2. It will be sponsored by all Penn State Student Organizations and clubs. Veteran’s Softball Tournament The Veteran's Organization will be holding the 11th Annual Veteran's Statewide Softball Tournament on April 23, 24, and 25, 1982 at Penn State's University ‘Park Campus.

If your group cannot field a team, feel free to come anyway, as players can be combined to make up a team if they know you are coming. Registration fees must be received by Fri- day, April 2. The fee covers the cost of trophies, balls, umpires and the Saturday night parties. Barbara McKeeahen has de- tails. See her in the SA Modular if you want to go.

The Rangers If you like adventures such as hiking in the woods, rapelling, and other outside adventures, then you should look into the Rangers. The Rangers is a club that is sponsored by ROTC, and is run by students like yourself. With the warm weather heading our way, the Rangers will outside Drama Club by Paul Bigas The Drama Club at Delaware County Campus is looking for people who want to have a good time while at school. You know how draining school can be; what better way to raise your spirits than with other people whom enjoy the same activities that you enjoy. One of the activities that we have sponsored during the past year was painting faces at the Granite Run Mall on Hallo- ween. It was exciting to change the faces of children and adults into monsters, clowns, and princesses. It was a fun day for almost every meeting. Such ac- tivities as Patrolling in Ridley Park, orienteering, and map reading are just a few things on the spring schedule. If you are interested and would like more information, call Bob Smith at 485-2706 or talk to Capt. Chandler in the modular building. News everyone who participated. The Drama Club is now put- ting together a Talent Show for Spirit Week. Anyone who can sing, dance, or can just be plain crazy is invited to take part. For more information call Paul Bigas at 494-1575, or Dcnna Larsen at 696-7350. The show is open to all students and faculty. We are also hoping to do a play later on in the Spring Term, but we need your sup- port. Remember, the Drama Club is always open to new members, so join us and have fun.
