Vol XIV, Nod Pennsylvanja State University, Delaware County Campus December 22, 1982 Part One — The Problem And The Answer (?) by Mike Grogan Staff Writer Do you like to be thought of as a bully? Do you like being seen in the eyes of small han- dicapped children as selfish un- caring adults? Well this is the case because of one simple con- flict stems from the use of the Old Forge School’s parking lot as a thru-way to reach Route 352. : At the beginning of the fall term Dean Linder asked students to please refrain from. this hazardous short cut after a plea from the supervisor of the Old Forge School was received by his office. It was met with ig- norance. Then the dean ordered students to stop upon threat of a vehicle ticket and other unamed punishments. This was met with the same ignorance, only now it was more or less de- fiance of the students have been a little more cautious about cutting through the parking lot. I have one question to ask you, my fellow students, what is the matter with you!!! I realize that this article doesn’t apply to a majority of you, but for that other minority I hope you continue to read and think about what I'm going to say. Have you ever hit and killed, or possibly permanently maim- ed a six or seven year old child? How about a six or seven year old handicapped child? Oh, I hear you giggling and laughing. Sounds like a pretty drastic ex- ample doesn’t it? But in fact, it is a very realistic example. Pick up a newspaper or listen to the ruling and television tonight between five and six o'clock, every day the world is full of tragic things that occur that people believed could never happen to them. .. and BOOM! Please don’t get me wrong. 1 don’t wish to preach to you, nor do I wish this article to become a fire-and-brimstone speech. I only wish to make you aware of the immediate danger such behavior represents and also explore ideas on how to correct the current situation. When this campus was moved from the ‘‘Rollerdrome” in Chester, to its present loca- tion, it was built to accom- modate a student body enroll- ment of 700 with no major in- creases until at least 1980. However, today enrollment has Dr. George Franz, Van Buren Project Math and Writing Center ~~" Schedules For Winter Term The following schedule is for the Learning Center located in the Library Learning Center, Room 109.

Requests are limited to baccalaureate degree students who will be registered full-time during Spring term. This year the University will use both the lottery system and the first-come, first-served (line- up) system to determine who receives housing. increased three-fold with no new parking or traffic altera- tions (not including the Library learning center and its parking lot). What I propose is that a new entrance and exit be built on the other side of the main lot to accommodate those who travel from the west on Route 352 to get to class. I think that such a passageway would greatly diminish the traffic problems that we are all too familiar with when cars come and go between classes. The area in question is not very large and could be in- stalled for as low as 600 to 700 dollars with local contractors. (please note that this is my own estimate and not one dictated by an actual contractor). This is the first part in a series of articles on this worth- while plan. We of the Lion's Eye ask you to please make your views on this subject known to us so we can continue to serve you in our best possible way. You may drop off your ideas, agreements, or arguments at the Lion’s Eye of- fice in room 203 main or in the Lion’s Eye mail box located in the Career Center (next to the cafe). Or, if you see a member of the staff, particularly myself or our editor-in-chief, Peter Cook, please give us your opinions. In this way I shall be aware of your needs and investigate the possibility of having the U.S.A. student government help with any presentation and investiga- tion. The Van Buren Project by Scott Tajairian : Staff Writer Where can a toil-worn stu- dent seek refuge from the everyday trials of ‘America’? ... At Penn State’s Martin Van Buren exhibit of course. Well, as a fellow Penn Stater also wishing to escape the pressures of school life, this reporter could no longer withhold the news of this unlikely retreat. While some may. ask who this gentleman is and why he is of such interest to this school, others with a more advanced background in American history understand the notoriety that this project and this man deserves. One person possessing such an understanding is Dr. George Franz, Assistant Professor of History at the campus. Thanks to his devotion this undertak- ing has been quite a success. The Martin Van Buren Pro- ject, which is the first of its kind, is a collection of the Presidents’ private works and professional documents on microfilm. This project will serve to ‘better acquaint in- terested historians with: the works of the 8th President of the United States who served from 1837 to 1841. This project, which began in 1969 at the Ogontz Campus of Penn State under the direction of Walter Ferree, was transfer- ed to the Lima Campus in December, 1980 after George Franz adopted the project. Presently an introductory ex- hibit of just a few of the many documents and photographs is on display in the front of the library. This display is designed to wet one’s appetite to this area of history and to the remarkable treasures that are found in the history of the presidency.
