wd April, 1991 — LION’S EYE — Old Building Seeks New Life With New Name by Frances Callahan Penn State’s Delaware County Campus has a venerable old building without a name. Through all its years of faithful service it was called, generically, “the athletic building.” It provided showers, storage for athletic equipment, and offices for athletic directors. If you've never seen it, follow the campus drive toward the library. ~ After you've taken the unlighted left turn and gone over the speed bump (the one that bottoms your car), you'll see the old brick building on your right. Now that we have our new Commons/ Athletic Center, the old building is referred to as the old athletic building. Doesn't a faithful old servant deserve a better name than that? Even in its newly assigned functions, it remains staunch and reliable in its service to Penn State. It has graciously accepted its new assignment to Maintenance, and now houses maintenance equipment and SGA Votes For Tuition Increase At PSU Delco By Angela Deal Well, the meeting is over and since hardly anybody showed up, The Student Government Association went ahead and voted “YES” on Delco’s behalf for a 1991-92 TUITION INCREASE at Penn State University. two thousand dollars a year per student.

Ten Ways To Trash The Earth Today - by Chuck Spector 1) Walk around your neighborhood and rearrange all the lawn sprinklers, so they water the driveway and the sidewalk instead of the grass. 2) Buy Ivory. Who wants endangered elephants when we could have lovely necklaces and piano keys. 3) Set your lawn mower blades low, making your grass unhealthy in order to kill it more easily, and save yourself a chore. 4) Believe our cafeteria when they say they actually do not use a lot of unsafe, cancer-causing, ozone- unfriendly Styrofoam products. 5) Don’t bother to recycle since only more than half a million trees where chopped down to produce today’s newspapers. 6) Buy ketchup in “squeezable” plastic bottles because some people are not intelligent enough to pour ketchup out of a glass bottle. Who cares if that type of plastic is neither recyclable nor biodegradeable. 7) Cause even more water pollution by buying powder detergent containing high levels of phosphates, instead of liquid detergents which are almost phosphate-free. 8) Drive around the block one more time since the average car only burns about 15 tons of gas in its lifetime. 9) Don’t concern yourself with protecting our drinking water from contamination when 1% of all the water on the planet is still available for drinking. i 10) Do not adjust your washing machine water level to meet your actual needs, and continue to waste 5,304 gallons of water every year.

I don’t see her very often, but when I do see her I usually know what to say. I asked her for her phone number and of course she gave it to me. (So I could give her directions to a party). On occasion, I have called her so we could converse, and the conversations have also gone well. But I just don’t know how to ask her out. I really want to impress her, so how should I go about this? Geek Dear Geek, I have thought long and hard about this situation. For the past two issues a loser like yourself has written to me with a stupid petty problem. Really if all you have to worry about is this, then your life must be a real joke. You already have this girl's phone number; she talks to you, when you are on and off the phone. Your problem just makes me want to soil a fresh kleenex. The way I see it you have one choice: get a real life, quit making excuses, and ask this girl out you WIMP Robby Justine Brady metamorphasizes into a ~ strange creature in front of horrified staff in the records office. ; Photo by: MARY MATUS
