February 7, 1992 _ LION'SEYE — Lady Lions Stabalize for ‘Siid Sonim : By Roger Lee After the head coach of the women’s basketball team left because of personal reasons, Ron Freeman and Hal Miller are taking the responsibility of co-coaching the team. Freeman says the team is going through a “second season”. The Lady Lions record is two wins and eight losses, but the team is improving. “We're a couple games away from being something special,” says Miller. The team is getting much support from CEO Dr. Ed Tomezko, and Pete Coleman, Director of Student Programming and Services. Miller said extra support has come from Athletic Director Tiz Griffith, who found, or “recruited,” six of the the team’s players. Although the co-coaches say that there are no superstars on the team, the starting five are: Trina leradi, Julie Munch, Kristi Hollingsworth, Jackie Jackson, and Kate Glen, who is the backup player for the injured captain Heather Peterson. Also contributing to the team are: Nicole Blickley, Sue Perricon, Tammy Tuttle, and Karen Schull. Both co- coaches praised Karen as a 3.8 GPA Engineering major, who “is a person who makes the team what it is.” Miller emphasized several times that the goal of the team is to “have some fun, and learn to play basketball; learning to play basketball.” The coaches have been using the idea that the basketball court is their house, and no one is let in or out that is not wanted. Co-coach Miller is proud of his team — “Some of these girls work jobs for 20 hours a week, plus go to . school. We are stable right now with ten players. We've had revolving doors and chaos, but that’s all behind us now. We're in what you can call a second season.” Neither coach works at PSU Delco, so they have to rush here from their jobs. Despite that they are not GET YOUR [arisatyre DONE! EEBRUARY 10 12:00-4:00 ~ IN THE CAFETERIA ~ GIVE AS A VALENTINE! $1.00 PER PICTURE! SPORSORED BY STUDERT ACTIVITIES winning comes from teachers, they have their priorities set straight. Says Miller, “Many players can’t make it to games because they have classes. But school comes first. We don’t put any pressure on them, but we expect them to do their best, and they do. Winning comes second.” The team has ten more games ahead of them. Their next game is on February 8th. They will be playing Philadelphia County Community College at 1PM home. Let's cheer the Lady Lions on! Join Now! | Page 11 1st Row, L to R: T. Ieradi, H.

You'll receive valuable leadership and management training both in and outside the classroom. You'll develop new skills and gain the practical experience you'll need as an officer in the United states Army, or in a civilian career. When you finish the program and complete college, you'll receive your first promotion—from student to second lieutenant. : The first step in the Two-Year Program is Basic Camp (Camp Challenge), a fully paid six-week training camp at Fort Knox, Kentucky, normally held between the sophomore and junior years of college. This is where you'll learn basic military skills through hand on practice and develop the qualiti.s it takes to be a soldier and an officer. You'll be eligible to attend Camp Challenge if you have not taken any or only a few Military Science I and II classes, you are transferring from a school that did not offer ROTC, you ~are a junior or community college graduate entering a ROTC school and have no prior active or Reserve component military service, you are a graduate student, and if you are a high school graduate entering a military junior college. You'll learn to be a leader. ROTC is all about leadership. During Camp Challenge, you'll be given numerous leadership responsibil- ities, from being a team leader to being the Cadet Company Intramural Programs Start, Seek ‘Friendly Competitors’ By James Doolittle With the start of the new semester, the Intramural program here at Penn State Delco is also embarking on a new season of fun for the students here on campus. Headed by Barbara Rostick, the Intramural program currently has four sports planned for this spring. Currently underway are the “three-on-three” basketball and volleyball intramural leagues. Both sports are scheduled to run through the end of March, each ending in tournament style play with the victorious teams receiving t-shirts and an invitation to the sports banquet to be held at the end of the year. Beginning in March, tennis intramurals will begin as well. There are also plans for possible softball intramurals. Not previously offered here at Penn State Delco, the softball intramurals will go on as planned if their is enough interest from the student body. Flyers have been posted around the campus with information for those interested. “The intramural program is an integral part of campus life for many students here on campus,” says Bill Raymond, president of the Student Athletic Association here on campus. “It’s a very friendly competition, and it gives those students who do not play sports on campus an opportunity to play at an intense yet sportsmanlike level. Plus it’s great fun.” Anyone interested in playing in any of the upcoming intramural leagues should contact Barbara Rostick in her office in the Commons Building. Commander. You'll develop skills that will help you handle responsibilities in your personal life and civilian career. Once you have the basics, you'll never lose them. You'll learn the value of teamwork. You will be teamed-up with other students from all over the world. You'll learn to work together to overcome challenges in real-life situations.

Students who attend Camp Challenge may compete for a Two-Year Army ROTC Scholarship while at camp. These merit scholarships are awarded to the most outstanding students who apply. Each scholarship pays for most tuition and on-campus educational expenses as well as a flat rate for textbooks, classroom supplies and equipment. Each scholarship also includes a stipend of up to $1,000 for every year the scholarship is in effect. Contact the nearest Professor of Military Science at one of the colleges or Universities. The contact on our campus is Captain Mavracick or MSG Wilder, over in the ROTC building. Penn State ROTC is an experience of a life time. You will learn things you never knew existed, and you'll make friends that will last forever.
