It won't be long now until we see the end of the Winter Term and the begin- ning of the Spring Term. At a mental loss for a sermon I just want to take up this space to mention a few things. First off, I regret that the Lion’s Eye made some errors in the last issue and now we would like to recognize them. To George Betancourt: In the last issue we neglected to mention your name as one of the photographers who took pic- tures for our Spirit Week page. You did take pictures for us, and excellent ones too. To Langston Hughes, where ever you may be, we regret that we incorrectly noted the author of your poem, ‘“‘Dawn.” By coincidence it is the same name of a song written by a Mr. Dun- bar in 1905, Hmmmmmmmm. Next, BUY A CLASSIFIED AD!!!!, Sell your puppy, car, house, Swiss bank account, shoelace, friend, your friends - car, anything at all. If it has a price tag, the Lion’s Eye’ can help sell it! We also print per- sonal messages too. Ads are $1 for 20 words. Finally, in the upcoming issues of the Lion’s Eye, Mike Grogan will continue his report on efforts to solve the hazar- dous problem of traffice here at the Delaware County Campus. We need your thoughts and comments so that we, the cam- pus students, can suggest a solution to this problem. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! Peter D.

Dick Thornburgh today issued the following statement on the endorsement today by President Reagan of a program to fund a nationwide highway and bridge construction effort: ‘““I applaud President Reagan’s decision to endorse the proposal put forward by U.S. Transportation Secretary Drew Lewis to make additional federal revenues available for the rebuilding of our nation’s highways and bridges, which would generate significant employment in the steel in- dustry and construction trades in Pennsylvania. “In light of the tremendous potential for stimulating employment and economic development through the rebuilding of our highways and bridges, it is all “the more critical that the General ‘emissions Assembly act swiftly to pre- vent the loss by Pennsylvania of federal highway funds that could result from a 1978 auto inspection consent decree. “Early action on the proposal to greatly increase our bridge reconstruction efforts in Penn- sylvania is also important to create several thousand addi- tional jobs and escalate the timetable for critical bridge replacement and repair. “While we have already made significant progress in Penn- sylvania rebuilding our highways and bridges, there is much more to be done, and the potential of additional federal revenues can serve to further our own efforts in this area. ‘“As lead governor for highways on the Transporta- tion, Commerce and" Technology Committee of the National Governors’ Associa- tion, I have urged the federal government to consider alter- natives for the turnback of federal funds to states to finance needed improvements in our transportation systems and create jobs which result from such efforts. I will con- tinue to work for an allocation system of federal dollars that will give states maximum flex- ibility to make decisions that meet our specific needs. “Through our efforts to stabilize our own highway revenues, we have taken Penn- sylvania from dead last to first among the 50 states in attract- ing federal highway funds. The potential of additional federal revenues means that we could be in a position to significantly expand our already consider- able efforts in this area.” Bridge Rebuilding HARRISBURG (Nov. 30) — Gov. Dick Thornburgh today congratulated the Penn- sylvania General Assembly for approving legislation that will enable the Commonwealth to embark on the nation’s largest bridge rebuilding program. With bipartisan support the General Assembly passed administration-endorsed legislation, which earmarks more that $1.4 billion for bridge reconstruction projects that will eliminate costly detours in the state’s highway and local road networks, generate 20,000 contruction-related jobs an- nually, and will increase de- mand for Pennsylvania steel and concrete products. The governor stated: ‘““‘Passage of a program which will allocate more than $200 million a year to restore or replace nearly 1,000 bridges over the next six years will be recognized as a major contribu- tion to Pennsylvania by the 1981-82.session of the General Assembly. “The swift bipartisan passage of this program will enable the Commonwealth to embark on the largest bridge rebuilding effort by any state in the nation, and I congratulate the members of the General Assembly for recognizing the need for this massive under- taking. “The General Assembly’s willingness to face up to our longterm bridge needs once again reflects its restored con- fidence in a revitalized and reformed Pennsylvania Depart- ment of Transportation. “This program represents a comprehensive, statewide ap: . proach to rebuilding the crumbling, obsolete and aging bridges that are interrupting our commerce, separating our communities, delaying our emergency vehicles, and im- peding the movement of school buses, farm machinery and trucks. ‘“‘Each year, commercial trucking operations will save hundreds of millions of dollars in costs now associated with extra travel caused by closed and weight-limited bridges that now can be repaired or replaced. “At the same time, this major bridge rebuilding program also will help stimulate a lagging economy, generating 20,000 construction-related jobs a year, and creating a substantial demand for steel and concrete products in Pennsylvania.” Fr ier Cen boty
