Page 2 — LION’'SEYE — April, 1990 Charles ‘Pete’ Coleman Named New Director of Student Programs & Services by Jennifer Darr When I asked Mr. Charles Coleman what one word best describes him, he replied, ‘‘Charismatic.”” How does that sound for a new Director of Student Pro- Tim Mark, a local artist whose ex- hibit “Twelve Paintings’ is touring more than eight Penn State Cam- puses, opened the exhibit here at Delco with the help of Dr. Jane Cooper, Associate Professor of Biology. An endowment fund in his name has now been established to fund an annual traveling exhibit for an emerging artist. Photo by: MARY MATUS From ‘Mayflower Madam’ To Margaret Mead You can join a new ‘‘reading group’ on campus that focuses on biographies and autobiographies of famous and in- famous women. Every four to five weeks everyone in the group reads a book chosen by the members. Then they meet for a brown bag lunch to informally compare notes and impressions. The discussion is stimulating without being intimidating! The book selected for the next meeting is Mayflower Madam. The group will gather for a discussion during the interval period in the last week of April. "For more information or to get copies of the book, contact Connie Kirker or Diane Wolf. See you at reading group! grams and ‘Services? I think it sounds great! His job, as he sees it, is “To provide leadership to the staff, and to give the needed services to the student body in conjunction with the academics the students will be getting.” His first: priority is to help organize the Student Government Association and student activities. He feels that they have been ‘‘led adrift.” He plans, with the help of present and newly elected leaders, to get together with the staff and faculty members to revise the Student Government Constitution. He would like to make it into something viable and incorporate the student clubs and organizations into the Student Government so that we can get more participation, more ideas, and more ac- tivities. His opinion of student affairs is a strong one. “I think student affairs is an important part of the human develop- ment of students, as well as academics.” What he likes most about our campus is the people. “I was struck by the warmness of the staff, the ad- ministrators, and the students. Also by how active and concerned they were about the total educational process.” Mr. Coleman has been working at the community college level for sixteen years. He started out in the area of stu- dent affairs at Delaware Technical Com- munity College as a basketball coach, then he became a counselor, then he did his internship. After that, he became Ti- tle Three Coordinator (administering the budget and providing services for the college) for his campus, and then on to Assistant Dean of Student Affairs and Services. Mr. Coleman grew up in Darby, Penn- sylvania, and went to Darby-Colwyn High School. He did his undergraduate work at Villanova, and he obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Business Ad- ministration. He attended Graduate school at a Philadelphia extension of An- tioch University. He got his Masters Degree in Counselor Education. What he liked most about college was meeting all the new and different people. Mr. Coleman is married and has two sons; in his spare time, he coaches a little league team with his son, and collects baseball and football cards with his other son. He also enjoys golfing and playing racquetball. He enjoys top 40 music and some of his favorite musical artists are Whitney Houston, Barbara Streisand, and Lionel Ritchie. His worst pet peeve is negative people. “I like to think everybody is good, and I work on those premises until they prove to me that they're not.” ~~ \JEASTER SUMMER REGISTRATION Began April 2, 1990, for credit courses. Tuition payment is expected at the time of registration.

A CHAT 'N’ CHEESE has been scheduled for TUESDAY, APRIL 10 and WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 1990. This event gives evening students a chance to relax, socialize, and meet one another and faculty outside the classroom. The CHAT 'N’ CHEESE will be held in the STUDENT LOUNGE, MAIN BUILDING 6 p.m. -8 p.m. CHEESE Delco Females Compose Campus Composite Woman by Dr. Madlyn Hanes To mark the close of Women’s History month, the Women’s Commission on campus hosted their annual luncheon at the end of March for all female staff, faculty, and students. A highlight of the event was a presentation by Dr. Madlyn Hanes, Director of Academic Affairs, on the Campus Composite Woman, a profile compiled from questionnaires sent to sixty female faculty and staff. The 72% response rate provided a fascinating pic- ture of the 1990 PSU Delco Woman. Dr. Hanes’ remarks follow.) Combined, we have served this cam- pus for 260 years! That's an average of six years per woman. Three of us have been here for twenty-two years, the very age of this current location. And so we have pioneers among us. Also combined, we represent 763 years of education, or 17.7 years per woman. We are a learned group! AGE We are forty-five years of age on the average, which makes us a ‘‘maturing work force,” but one with potential for some twenty-five more years of working contributions. There is no substitute for the wisdom that comes with age. And so we have no reason but to hold great ex- pectations for the future. CHILDREN We have brought a total of eighty- three children into this world, 1.93 children per woman on the average. Three among us have four children; one has five. Forty-seven of these children are daughters, most of whom, by the way, are still in school. And so we are “working mothers’ as well. The daughters who have come of age are preparing for or are currently in some of the following professions: ministry (several of our daughters are women of the cloth), engineering (chemical and environmental), law (we have one daughter who recently graduated from Harvard Law School), computer science, medicine, film, art, dance therapy, and business. We have teachers, nurses, and a fair share of social scientists and several in the humanities. By the way, there are only two Penn State students in the group; the rest went elsewhere. In addition we have a total of nineteen grandchildren. One of us has four; another has six. BIRTHPLACE/ANCESTRY We hail from all corners of the United States and of the world. However, the majority of us were born in Penn- sylvania, primarily the eastern part of the state. The next largest group of us are from the Northeast: New York, New Jersey, and the New England States. A number are from the Mid-west, two from the South, and one from California. Two-thirds of our ancestors came to this country from Germany and England. Ireland and Scotland are next, and then Italy. A few of us are from Eastern Europe and from the African Continued on Page 3 ment officers are Chuck McCarthy, President, Rich Schaffer, Vice- President, Jill Rhodes, Secretary, and Michelle Walsh, Treasurer.
