Would you like to have some say in who will be next year’s SGA officers? Well, do something about it! Vote!! The 1991-92 SGA elections are happening right now in the student lounge of the main building and they will continue until April 3rd. Here’s a brief summary of the candidates: Bill Raymond is a communications major who graduated from St. James High School. His career goal is to become a high school English teacher and he sees success at any cost in his future. So if he is elected, what are his plans for Delco? He would like to see student involvement up and he would like the students of Penn State to be proud that they go here. 1 aymond Photo by: DIANA MICERI What does he like best about Delco? The closeness of the campus. To put it in his own words, “You can walk down the halls and always run into someone you know. It’s like a small high school.” There are some activities on campus but few people who participate. However, the only drawbacks he sees are not enough activities on campus and not enough people participating in them. Chris Cowan, a freshman here at Delco, is also running for SGA President. He is currently a marketing major, however, he is thinking about changing it. His ultimate career goal is to be working with people in the business field. He sees a lot of hard work ahead for himself, but he doesn’t sec a problem accomplishing it. He feels that he will eventually be rewarded for all his hard work. His favorite courses are Political Science and Philosophy. They “help him to look at people in a different way.” He said he doesn’t really have any courses that he dislikes. He has done numerous things for this campus: for instance, he has voiced the opinion of the freshman class at the executive board meetings of the SGA and he has publicized the events sponsored by SAC this semester. If he is elected, he plans to take what this Chris Cowan : Photo by: DIANA MICERI year’s SGA has done and build on it. He finds the students and faculty the best aspect of this campus. “The size of the campus allows us to become a family.” However, since this is a commuter campus, Chris thinks it is harder for the students to bond together. It is also harder to get students involved and keep them here. “There are two places one can learn, in class and in a social setting.” When it comes to student government experience, he’s chock full of it. He is a SGA Freshman Representative, he is Publicity Chairperson for the Student Activities Commission, and he is a Outstanding Students, Teacher to Be Honored by Pat McAdams On Wednesday, April 17, 1991, the Faculty Senate will formally recognize the academic excellence of students at Penn State Delaware County Campus. The 1991 Outstanding Teacher Award will also be announced at this Honors Convocation, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. in the Library/Learning Center. Academic awards include certificates to full-time students who have achieved a 3.5 grade point average and to part-time students: with a 3.75 grade point average. In addition, special awards will be presented to the top ranked students in the freshman and/or sophomore classes in the two-year and four-year programs at Penn State. Recognition of the winners of eight endowed scholarships and five special subject prizes will follow. During the evening ceremonies the Teacher-of-the Year for 1991 will be announced, and Dr. Priscilla Clement will address the group. Dr. Clement won the Outstanding Teacher Award at Penn State Delaware County Campus in 1990. PASC (Pennsylvania Association of Student Councils) leader. Larry Ulmer, another freshman, is our third candidate for SGA President. He is a graduate of John Bartram Motivation High School and he is a secondary education major. He would like to pursue a career in teaching, preferably high school history. Larry sees the “American Dream” ahead for himself. You know, a wife, good kids, good job, and all of that other good stuff.. His favorite subject in school is history and his worst is calculus. So what has he done to benefit this campus? “I have been a liaison between my fellow freshman students and the SGA at the executive board meetings and I have expressed the opinions of the freshman class at these meetings.” Furthermore, if he is elected, he plans to keep the SGA running and “hopefully to continue the fine example of the current SGA.“ : Photo by: DIANA MICERI CONGRESSMAN CURT WELDON will address the Campus Community on IMPACTS OF THE GULF WAR | Monday, April 8 12:30 - 1:30 PM Room 101 Main Come Hear An Eye-Witness Account Of the Effects of The Gulf War by Angela Deal Spring, with that nameless pathos in the air Which dwells with all things fair, Spring, with her golden suns and silver rain, Is with us once again.
