Begins A New Year by Carol Stocku The Undergraduate Student Association, otherwise known as the USA, is the student government that represents the students and clubs to the ad- ministration of Penn State University. Every student's opinion, idea, or problem, that is brought to the attention of the student government, is carefully attended to by the USA staff. This year’s staff is lead by the competant Gordon Cameron, who officially represents the students of the Lima campus, to the faculty, and to the Council of Branch Campus Student Governments. Gordon received this position by winning the annual spring election. To help this organiza- tion operate is Gorden's Vice President, Chris Fickner; Treasurer, Pat Makowski; and Secretary, Franny Brady. The Council of Branch Cam- pus Student Governments, (COBCSG) functions as the overseer of student govern- ments at the branch campuses. This organization meets four times a year with the executive members of the various student governments. The members meet and address issues that are prominent with the branch This year’s first meeting will be held October 1st at University Park. The student government must not only know what the students are thinking, they must also organize and govern all clubs and their activities. One major issue with the clubs is their budget allocations. One way in which to financially help the clubs or ‘individually, is through mini-grants. These grants are available for any original or good ideas that are thought to deserve special funding. Such examples could be, cultural activities that are not associated with this cam- pus, or even equipment that is felt to be needed for the cam- pus. The grants range from two ~ hundred to fifteen hundred dollars with a maximum of four grants. allowed to be given to the panel on one issue. Every students’ idea is welcomed when you contact the student government. : The student government discusses all club related issues, from the planning of events for clubs, to even the planning of certain clubs. Possibilities for new clubs could be a debate team, intramural street hockey, a cross-country team, or any other good idea that is brought to Gordon's attention. The events for certain clubs, includes the Student Activities Committee and the USA's showing of the movie ‘““Quadrophenia.”’ The movie will be shown on Friday, September 30, at 7:45 p.m. at the Library learning center patio. Admission is $2.00 for students and $2.50 for non- Penn State Students. : All U-Day will once again be held at University Park. This is the opportunity for students to go to University Park, to feel like a part of Penn State, and to attend a football game. This year, the USA and the Keystone Society will attempt to find places for people to stay. More information about All U-Day will be available after October first. A Spirit Week is in the plan- ning stages for our campus. Like last years Spring Week, activities such as volleyball, a cheerleader auction, or a pie maffia, (you try to either hit a teacher or student with a pie or -you try not to get hit with ene), are possible for this years events. More ideas are needed though, to make this event even more possible and even more enjoyable. The USA is an organization that needs the students and their ideas to make it work. So, all students are welcome to at- tend any meetings of the USA, or if you can not wait until the next meeting, stop in the USA office located in the modular buildings and ’tell the people what’s on your mind. Karate Club by Jim Bacher The ancient masters evolved the discipline and art of Tae Kwon Do, devoting most of their lives creating, amending, and perfecting this intense style of defense, so that it may be passed through the genera- tions. Steve Sciscione, a former instructor at the Penn State Delaware county campus, has continued this age-old tradition known most honorably as the Karate club. Members involved have realized that karate is more than a sport of reflex and ésmtact. It is a concept that devilops poise awaremess and agility. It strengthens mot only the ohysical eharacteristics of the hody, but also dev: ops the mind i745 a suwpmeme state of eorcer gion Those who have se. l usiy studied fheye reveref technigues of Tae Kwon Do have fei pride and honer in degrees sw wasif, to pen ihem into weds weauld be. imacom- | prelcma:fille Too achieve this ’ high s!zi= of 'inderstamding, one muse ni. y yearsof disciplined greactice. The inéediden of the Hanite tlub is m«# bby any meeans, flirected ox tthe transfermmtion i of Penn State students into lethal oriental warlords of death. Students begin their training dorning a white belt. In this phase, they are taught basic maneuvers that form the building blocks leading to profi- ciency. Eventually, they will preform a ‘‘kata,”’ which is a series of standardized pro- cedures. Every Tae Kwan Do student must perform a kata before being advanced to the next shade belt, which sym- bolizes achievement, but perhaps more importantly — honor. The Karate club is an affiliate of the Philadelphia School of Korean Karate, where Dr. Scis- cione, a fourth degree black belt, teaches. The club en- courages males and females to participate. Each year the Delco campus is represented in ‘area tournaments, and has done <n the past quite well. The club also gives demonstrations for the school performing katas, and semior members excite the cowll by Bbmeaking wooden Jwaards with tfheir bare hands.
