Lion's Vol. XV, No.2 Pennsylvania State University, Delaware County Campus October 4, 1983 - S.A.C. To Show Quadrophenia On September 30 at 7:45 pam., the Student Activities Committee will be presenting the film ‘Quadrophenia’ at the Library Patio. It is to be out- doors and will include refreshments. Admission is $2.00 for PSU students, $2.50 non-students. The movie is based on the 1973 double album of the same name by The Who. The story is about a young Mod named Jim- my who lives in the London of the early sixties. Phil Daniels, who plays Jimmy, is an ex- cellent actor and has also ap- peared in the Shakespeare play ‘“A Midsummer Night's Dream;”’ he is the leader of his band, Phil Daniels and the Cross. Also notable about “Quadrophenia” is Sting, who plays “the Ace Face.” Basical- ly, he dresses well, fights well, and has only one line in the en- tire film. Still, his presence is note-worthy simply for the in- credible amount of cool with which he plays the role. Of course, the music, mostly from the original album with a few songs added for the film and a few vintage mid-sixties tunes, makes the movie worth seeing. So put on your checked jacket with five inch side vents, hop on your GS scooter, and come see the film. R.O.T.C. Awards Scholarships by Edwyna Simmons Five students in the ROTC (Reserve Officer's Training Corps) program received scholarships from our campus. Four sophomores (Fran Flynn, Michelle Teofilak, Al Tucker, Al Ullman) received a three year scholarship. One freshmen (Todd Martin) received a four year scholarship. All of these students who received a scholarship hold a position. The scholarship pays for the tuition, books, and lab fees. In addition to this, the students receive $100 a month for ten months every year. Fran Flynn was already tak- ing the ROTC class when he ap- plied for the scholarship. Cap- tain Chandler had mentioned how he could go about applying for it. Fran was put before a hearing board which consisted of two members of the faculty. Then he was rated. There were three important steps taken in order to apply for this scholar- ship: physical requirements, medical requirements, and a question and answer session. The best thing he likes about the ROTC is being in charge of things and getting involved. He says, it provides a challenge for him. His advice to someone go- ing into the ROTC is that they should get involved and go on the weekend trips. Fran said, “What you put in it is what you get out.” : Michelle Teofilak feels that she received the scholarship . because of her motivation. “I'm highly Michelle said, motivated and it showed.”” She got interested in the army because her father was an of- ficer. She knew from this that There were many benefits in- volved. The best thing she likes are the people in the organiza- tion. Her advice is to par- ticipate and to get involved. Al Tucker wasn’t enrolled in the army when he received this scholarship. He said he was just walking by the office, went in, and applied. Al wasn’t in- terested in the army. The best thing he likes about the ROTC are the benefits. He also likes to be involved in organizations. The ROTC is the biggest organization on campus. Al said, “I like to be in it because it makes me feel big.” He likes to be where the action is. His advice is to look into all the benefits the army offers. Al Ullman applied for the scholarship while he was taking ROTC classes. He had decent grades and he was a computer science major. The best thing he likes about ROTC is that they are together like a family. His advice for anyone going into ROTC is “‘to stick with it.” He feels that you have to be ac- tive to survive in this program. Todd Martin, who is a freshman received a four year scholarship. He wrote for an ap- plication for the scholarship when he was a senior in high school. The best thing he likes about the ROTC is the new peo- ple he gets to meet. His advice is “to apply yourself the best you can.” All of these students are ma- ~joring in Engineering or Science. Captain Chandler said that the army is interested in people who are majoring in Engineering or Science. If you are interested in the ROTC pro- gram feel free to ask Captain Chandler any questions.

This is Tom Perry, alias Cap'n Chips, here for his third year at PSU, loving every minute of it. He claims that the atmosphere is very easy to work in because it lacks the aggravation of a formal restaurant. Don’t get me wrong — the food prepared is made to order, not pre-cooked like most fast food places, so it’s worth the wait in line. ; Don’t be mistaken by the assortment on the menu: Cap ‘n’ Chips cooks everything listed. He takes responsibility “for the food served and is always open for suggestions and new ideas. If you aren’t happy with something, tell him: he’ll replace it or be glad to re- fund your money. What he would like to see is people tak- ing advantage of his breakfast specials: they're recommended not only for the cost, but also for the quality. Note: starting in the winter, there will be two lunch specials offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so plan to give it a try. So, in closing, if you're in a hurry for fast, fresh food without leaving the campus, or if you just can’t be bothered with the hassles of brown bag- ging, head over to see Cap'n Chips for service with a grin. Delco to get New Building by Donna Higgins Delaware County Campus students will have the use of a new student activities center by fall 1986 according to John Vario, Campus Executive Of- ficer. To be located behind the Academic Affairs Modulars, the building will contain two gymnasiums, a large one and a smaller one, which could be combined into an’ auditorium for concerts, lectures and other activities. Plans also include handball courts, nautilus equip- ment, classrooms, staff offices, offices for PE faculty, and storage space. The public will have access to these facilities, but first priority will go to Penn State students. Three Pa. state senators, Clarence Bell, Joseph Loper, and Matthew Ryan, were in- strumental in aquiring a 3.9 million dollar allocation from the state legislature to pay for construction. The actual cost of building will be 2.5 million, the other 1.4 million budgeted for contingent costs, such as pay- ing the architect, John Sabatino of Phila. : Campus officials hope to see construction of the student ac- tivities center begin by fall 1984. It is expected to take two years to complete, with the facilities being ready for use by fall 1986. ; Although the building will not require the hiring of any ad- diticnal faculty, it will mean more on-campus student jobs and the hiring of additional secretaries, maintenance men, and security personnel. The student activities center is the first step in a projected program of campus -develop- ment. Currently under discus- sion is a science building, which will enable the Delaware Coun- ty Campus to expand its offer- ing of science and engineering courses. L.C.B. to Change Prices HARRISBURG (Sept. 14) — Gov. Dick Thornburgh today released the following state- ment about the change in price structures approved by the LCB: “It has long been obvious that the Liquor Control Board has no regard whatever for Pennsylvania consumers, and today’s action by the LCB on a new pricing scheme clearly reaf- firms its attitude of indif- ference. “The ourtrageous price in- crease that has resulted underscores the need to remove Pennsylvania’s liquor system from the hands of this unresponsive board. We have proposed a plan to achieve this, and we intend to continue to press for this objective. “For Mr. Pennick to suggest that a price increase is necessary to finance general government operations is preposterous. Our 1983-84 budget anticipates a modest and achievable increase in sales without any price increase whatever. “The only possible explana- tion for this unwarranted action is that the board is trying to compensate, at the expense of the consumer, for its inability to keep its own costs under con- trol and to operate efficiently. “Pennsylvania liquor prices already are painfully un- competitive with other states. The substantial price increases approved today by the LCB ean only hurt sales. ‘“A board whose only response to its own inefficiency and mismanagement is to punish the consumers it serves has ceased to serve a useful pur- pose.” In This Issue...
