There’s a change in the air. Something big is happening. I can tell. The signs are unde- niable. For instance last week the heater in my car turned on (an event that has failed to oc- cur since November) and now I can't get it to shut off. And then there's the out-patients from the home of the criminally insane bees, who have made their home in our orchard once again. Surely you've noticed the other little differences on campus. Loud music emanating from the parking lot, bright col- ors appearing where before only drab grey resided, and smiles taking the place of chattering teeth. We have begun to make that slow transformation from cold, pale college students to tan robust ones. Yes you've guessed it its summer time. And more importantly summer vacation time. Soon we’ll be trudging to the beaches, our blankets, lotions and frisbee’s in hand. We'll lay out for hours in the heat and sand (soaking up dangerous ultra-violet rays) then cool ourselves off by battl- ing the turf of a treacherous, salt-ridden’ body of water in- habited by lots of strange crea- tures with gills. Later we'll re- turn to a strange apartment and do borderline suicidal activ- ities which will significantly alter our state of consciousness. Only to wake up in the morning with blurry vision, find the in- ternational drum competition being held in your head, stagger down to the beach and begin the whole thing over again. Whoever said war is hell never went on vacation with college students. Before we bredk out the Pina- Colada’s, however; I think we should take a few moments to reflect upon the events of the last year. First off we got new lounge furniture (yeah). Did anyone notice how remarkably similar to the old lounge fur- niture it is? An occurance I would have thought impossible seeing how the person who sold us the old stuff is serving twen- ty years for impersonating a furniture designer. And then of course there was the long awaited arrival of a change machine in the main building. Now if we could only get some change in it! And the Student Government finally re-installed the stereo system in the cafeteria (once in a blue moon they even turn it on.) But now the year draws to a close, and memories should only be plea- sant. So lets forget these minor irritants and remember the good thats come out of our ex- perience. This school has given me lots to laugh over and nothing to cry about. Its taught me things I'll need to know to survive my career, and things I'll need to survive my life. Its given me friends and lovers, and once it even gave me 20¢ a m le to drive to U.P. (who could a 3k for more). Next year I move up to University Park and the closeness I've experienced be- tween myself and the faculty, staff, and students at DELCO will be replaced with the anonymity of being just one of thousands. I will surly miss it. And so P.S.U. DELCO I bid you a fond farewell and thank you for all you have done. Adieu Farewell and Goodluck by Denise Weaver After having worked here six years at Delaware County Cam- pus two of our staff are leaving to take on new positions at the Penn State Altoona Campus. Richard Shaffer, Assistant Director of Student Programs and Services; his wife Joann Shaffer, advisor/consultant, Division of Undergraduate Studies; and their two daughters are currently moving from this area to Altoona where they will be closer to their fami- ly. ! With this move Mr. Shaffer's administrative responsibilities will be increas- ed with concern to such matters as supervising staff members. As of this date Joann Shaffer isn’t definite in what she will be doing, if she will continue to work at Penn State or at another institution. Both Mr. Shaffer and his wife have mixed feelings about this move to a different environ- ment but feel they need this alteration in their lives; and is not viewed as an opportunity to get closer to University Park, but as a necessary change and an opportunity to expand and widen their horizons. They find the smaller campuses more to their liking because of the in- dividuality of each person. Leaving is never easy for anyone, especially when leaving familiar people, going into a dif- ferent environment, and star- ting all over again, and this time with two young children. But Rick and Joann can leave here knowing that they are loved and will be missed by Survival by Christine Redding Attention all Sophomores go- ing to the Park. There will be lots of changes now. You'll be a little fish in a big pond. No more running to Dr. Teimesko when you need something signed. But don’t fret. It: won't be all that bad. State College isn’t as big as Philadelphia. Here are some tips for survival in that ° large place they call Main Cam- pus. I'm sure by now most of you have your apartments. In the process, you've realized the dif- ferences in locations depending on which part of the town you are. The high rises on Beaver Avenue are rather expensive. The apartments in the South West Borough have a suburban atmosphere. To the north of the University there tend.to be garden apartments. The nightlife is mainly drink- ing and eating. There are movies on campus and some theaters in town. Drinking is allowed in the dorms, but only in your room. There's at least one disco where you can dress up and go dancing. The bars are strict with the drinking age. There are many students so they can be. There are specials during the week. The Saloon is everyone they have come in contact with over the past six years. ~ Over the past year this reporter has worked closely with many of the staff here and I know that they are like a fam- ily, and right now everyone is unhappy to have such good friends as these two leave. Throughout our lives people will come and go, some will be our friends and others just ac- quaintances, but the people here at this school will always be close friends no matter where their lives may lead them. On behalf of the Lion’s Eye and its staff I would like to wish Rick and Joann all the best for the future, and love and happiness. one of those bars that you can drink and eat at. Pizza is king in State College and Dominoe’s delivers. There are three Pizza Huts near the Park. There are some American-Mexican restaurants. There are several Chinese restaurants, also. C.C. Peppers boasts genuine Philly- style cheesesteaks. Parking is hard in the town. Tickets are given out frequent- ly. Bikes have to be registered and all traffic laws must be obeyed. . There you have it. Here's your sentence. Make sure you dress warmly. Take your vitamins and have a safe trip to Happy Valley. ‘Memorable Moments by Christine Redding The school year is winding down. Spring is upon us as we set our sights on finals week and beyond. Visions of sun and sand are dancing through our head. Daydreamers in class are more - abundant this season, more than the rest. The most logical question to be asked right now is, “What was your most memorable moment of this school year?’ So, I went around asking people and these are the answers. Patty Sorace — ‘When 1 almost committed a murder on the second floor hallway.” Mark Cooper — “When I saw Dr. Fuller turn on an air condi- tioner that was still wrapped for the winter. Dust flew all over.’ Rio — “The miniskirt in late January.” Donna Higgins — ‘When 1 threw the pie at Dr. Franz dur- ing Spirit Week.” Dale New — “Looking for the fiction section in the library with Chris.” Kenny Brennan — ‘‘Shooting many people in the lower back.” Kathleen Wise — “When I got a Calculus test back and I got a “B” on it and i thought I had a “D: Lad Ed Gomez — ‘‘An Hawaiian party I went to last weekend at St. Joes.” Gin Fallon — “When I saw a . nine foot snake around some guy's neck.” Mark Smith — “February 12.” Sue Sutton — ‘‘Sitting in room 101 with Judy listening to the same song over and over.’ Andy Heller — “The time I ‘answered this question.” Captain Chips — “When 1 make the kids laugh.” Editors Note: “Which isn’t often.” J.M. — “My first Day.” C.R. — “When I realized the tall, strangely adorable guy who sits next to me in Geology had some basic understanding of the inner workings of my per- sonality. The second memor- able moment was when I knew the same of him. Here's to ya, Poofer!”’ Bonjure et Bonheur by Denise Weaver Not many teachers feel as “much dedication. and respon- “sibility toward their students as one of the teachers here who is soon to retire. Josephine Galli, french teacher here for sixteen years has decided that this will be her last semester here at the Delaware County Campus. Mrs. Galli doesn’t feel job burn out, in fact it is quite the opposite. After . sixteen years she feels a real bond be- tween her and her students, and a concern for them as well. This is a result of her involvement in her work which she loves very much, and her attempt to con- vey this love to her students. When teachers have time-off they spend that time preparing for future classes and/or the next semester., Unfortunately for some, such as Mrs. Galli class preparation consumes all of her spare time, not allowing her to do other things which she enjoys. But now with the chance to relax she looks for- ward to the opportunity to in- dulge in her writing, and to. travel without thinking of preparation for school. Leaving this school and its people is hard for Mrs. Galli because she feels such dedica- tion. Anyone who has taken one of her french grammar or literature classes knows how much she enjoys teaching and the satisfaction she gets with working with the students. But it isn’t just in the classroom where she can relate to her students. Through correspon- dence of graduates and advis- ing present students she feels that she has, and can help to steer some in the direction which is right for them. Although Mrs. Galli is sad to leave this school, and give up her career as a teacher she an- ticipates the opportunity now to start out on a new part of her life. She isn’t definite as to what she will do but she said she en- joys writing translations, short stories, and poetry. She is also looking forward to traveling, and not just to France as she’s been doing for many years. She’s certain however, that she won't be cleaning out any closets for a while. Whatever she decides upon to fill her free time will hopefully be as fulfill- ing to her as was her teaching here at Penn State. U.S.G. Elections Friday Be Sure To VOTE!
