Taylor, a graduate of the University of Kansas and the father of two sons, was on the medical team that performed the first liver transplantin 1963. “I've met a lot of pio- neers in my day, and you don’t come across many of them anymore.” “He was just an extraordinary man to meet, and I thought that the BSL needed to hear him,” stated Tomezsko. Taylor spoke to the league with pride and en- thusiasm, stressing the importance of ‘a better than average education. “He was an exhilarat- lent role model who showed genuine concern for the students. He left them with a great chal- lenge,” stated Myra Dillingham, the Assistant Director of Student Pro- grams and Services and Retention Specialist. And a role model is exactly what he is. Taylor often spends his time informing young people that hard work is the way to be suc- cessful in the world.

According to local sources, the cafeteria will no longerbe managed by the Nutrition Management Company. If the company loses its lease, current employee jobs will be lost. Several companies are now going through the process of bidding for the lease. Of course, the company with the lowest bid will be granted therighttocarryon the services of the cafeteria. Although Penn State Uni- versity is searching for the lowest bidder, the students at Delaware County Cam- pus are not. “We really en- joy being around them (cafeteria employees) every day because they're down to earth,” said one studentin a crowd discussing the issue. The three employees, Connie Digalbo, Faye Kelly, and Tom Perry are not look- ing forward to looking for employment after the first week in May. “It will be a sad day for me if I have to leave,” chatted Digalbo. Digalbo, who says that she enjoys working with young people, hasbeen at Delco for five years. Since then, she Stereo Thefts Extend Long List of Van- dalist Acts at Delco Linda Wahowski Assistant Editor-in-Chief ‘During the past two semesters, vandalism and theft on this campus has escalated enormously. In the past two months, the theft rate of car stereos has jumped greatly. Andy Kearney, a Penn State Delco campus security guard, said, "This campus seems to have a run of thefts such as this once in a while. We had a run of thefts a few weeks ago. It has declined since.” Andy Kearney also went onto say that whoever was stealing the car stereos knew what they were doing. “The thieves used what is known as a ‘slim jim’, a thin metal stick, to open the doors of the cars. They also discon- nected the wiring on the stereos instead of just rip- ping the stereos from the dashboards.” Andy also said that the cars that were being broken into were generally parked in the back of the parking lots, near Rt. 352. When asked about the rumors on cam- pus about cars being bro- ken into for items such as sunglasses or cassette tapes, Andy replied that he had received absolutely no reports about that. Andy concluded that in or- der to insure your cars _ safety, you should park closer to the roads on cam- pus, where it is easier to watch the cars. said that she has become a parent to some of the stu- dents. “I've met some nice kids,” said Digalbo in a low pitched voice, “and I have gained their trust. while through working here." Faye Kelly, the youngest of them in work experience at Delco (4 years), stated that she enjoys the thought of “knowing that I can be their friends. It really keeps me young.” One worker who feels particularly attached to the campus is seven year vet- eran, Tom Perry. Perry began working at Delco when the present freshman class was still in grade school. “Pve seen changes at Delco. It will be an ex- tremely sad day for me,” said Perry. According to Perry, a poll was taken in the Media area to identify the most popular fast food places in the area. Surprisingly, the Delaware County Campus- Cafeteria ranked third. “That is a big compliment for this place,” stated Perry. “How many places can you go to eat and the staffknows the students by their first see Cafeteria page 5 7 BY IN THIS ISSUE. . .
