Basketball Tournament Set
To Honor Stricken Student
By David Clements Jr.
Until last year, Marcel
“Marty” Carter was a familiar face at
Penn State Delaware County
Campus. An avid lover of athletics,
particularly basketball, Marty’s
greatest joy was to be on the court,
shooting “hoops”— until bone
cancer and a subsequent leg
amputation caused his early
withdrawal from classes.
With the support of his
family and friends, an immensely
positive spirit, and unyielding faith
and courage, Marty is on the road to
recovery and is preparing to resume
his pursuit of a degree in Social
Work at Penn State, rather than
Adult Student Group Improves Campus Life
By Joe Damiani
Are you returning to school
after a long leave of absense or do
you know somebody who is? There
are a lot of anxieties to cope with
when going back to school . That is
why Penn State Delaware County
Campus offers the Adult Student
Organization.
Its main purpose is to help adult
students, who comprise one third of
the campus: registration, form study
groups to perform better on tests and
in class. It has been in existence for
three years and since that time has
had three different presidents. The
current president of the club is Joan
Impagliazzo. Andy Kearney is the
vice president and Karen Lyons is
the club secratary.
The A.S.O. is currently lobbying
for longer cafeteria hours for night
students. The campus had at one
time extended the cafeteria hours for
less than a month and then
dismissed the idea claiming that no
one was going to the caffeteria that
late. Impagliazzo feels the school
did not try it out long enough for the
students to know about the
extension.
The AS.O. is also trying to
bring more 400 level courses to this

Asian Pacific
Week Festivities
Enjoyed By All
By Roya Sami
Asian Pacific week was held
from Monday, March 30 to Friday,
April 3 in the main lounge. The
activities were initiated in order to
celebrate and make students aware
of Asian history.
The events were planned by
Mrs. Lindsey, Tammy Zampogna,
and a group of eight Delco Asian
students.
On Monday, March 30, an
Asian food festival was held along
with East Indian dancing, performed
Clad in
traditional dress, Ramaa danced
gracefully and explained what the
moves mean to the culture.
An Asian fashion show was
produced on Tuesday, March 31.
Seven Asian students modeled their
apparel while the audience gaily
listened to the East Indian musicians.
Traditional Cambodian dances
‘were performed on Friday, April 3.
20 and must be paid by August 7.
"Among the numerous
classes offered by Penn State next
semester, several are new on this
campus. “Out of the Fiery Furnace”,
an earth and mineral science course
taught by Professor John Ousey, will
relate the history of materials to the
development of mankind; however,
this course can only be taken along
with English 15.5 and vice versa. To
drop one course would mean you
would have to drop both. The
videotapes that will be shown are a
required part of both courses since
one research paper will have to be
done on each one.
“English Language
Analysis”, or English 100 with
campus, as well as provide more
money for adult student
scholarships. Day Care is also a
major corcern of the organization.
The have been trying to get the
school involved in a day care
program but to no avail. For those
who are interested in having a list of
day care centers in this area they are
available through Pete Coleman in
the main building .
Those who are interested in
finding out more information about
the A.S.O. should drop by Joan
Impagliazzo’s Office in the Lions
Den.
Professor Carol Kessler, covers the
system of rules governing language.
This class also offers several films
about the topic and uses the
Grammar in the Classroom text.
Many students of history
may also be interested in the
“History of American Organized
Labor Since 1877” class. It meets one
day per week with Professor
Clement and will discuss the plight
of the American worker from
various angles. Prior completion of
History 21, History 156, or LIR 100
is required.
These classes, as well as any
course on this campus, could be
canceled in the event of minimal
interest by students.

resorting to self-pity.
Marty’s ordeal has nd
the PSU Delco’s Black Student
League (BSL) to publicly celebrate
the positive power that family,
community, and individual courage
and spirit can play in shaping our
lives to “make a difference,” even in
the face of adversity.
That celebration ‘will take
form in the “1st Annual Marcel
Carter Basketball Tournament,” to
be held on May 1, 1992 at 6:00 p.m.
in the campus gymnasium.
With the participation of the
Delaware County Campus students,
staff, and faculty, and the local
communities, this tournament will
bring us together in a spirit of
brotherhood and fun. We have
invited the student clubs, sororities,
and fraternities from Penn State
Ogontz Campus, Delaware County
Community College, Cheyney
University, West Chester State
University and Widener University.
Additionally, the Chester
High School Marching Band and
Varsity Cheerleaders have been
asked to participate, and special half-
time entertainment will be provided.
The response has been
overwhelmingly positive, and we
anticipate area-wide coverage by
local newspapers and radio stations.
We would like to use this
occasion not only to have fun, but
also, to raise funds for the American
Cancer Society to support juvenile
cancer research. Therefore, an
admission fee of $5.00 will be
charged. If we are able to get
contributions from local snack
distributors, complimentary snacks
will be provided.
