A popular place to hang out between classes because of the gameroom, the Lion’s Den has now been reduced to a pile of rubble. However, a new Lion's Den is being assembled over by the ROTC building and the old tennis courts. According to Acting Maintenance Foreman John McKnight, it probably won’t open before late September because some work still remains.

The old modular building, which was demolished by the Army Core of Engineers, has been used by both the ROTC and students since its completion about 15 years ago. Due to its age and some asbestos problems, the building was condemned and a new alternative had to be found. After some debate a new site was selected next to the ROTC’s permanent building. The new units arrived in early September. The “old” Lion’s Den before it was condemned an Photo by: DIANA MICERI Recycling Program Continues Under Question By Mike Jamison “Save the earth, Save the planet, Save our campus!”. With this being the 90's these all-too-familiar statements are being heard all over, especially on the Media campus. In September of 1990, the Media campus set up its present day recycling policy; ever since, there has Delco Campus Celebrates 25th Anniversary Tomorrow By Eric Forte “The Body, Mind, and Soul of Penn State Delaware County .”. . What was it? What is it? What will it be? On Saturday, September 19, the Penn State DelCo Campus will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of the school with a reunion party. In 1967, the campus opened on 6th and Penn streets, Chester. “The campus used to be located at an old fish market,” said Marianne Rhodes. “Just imagine trying to study in a place that used to store food.” Today, twenty-five years later, the campus stands in Media, where plans for the 25th year reunion party have been made. Activities will start at 1 p-m., when the varsity soccer team plays the Ogontz campus team. ;At 3 p.m. volleyball and softball teams, made up of both alumni and faculty, will play. At 4 p.m., a faculty seminar will take place, discussing a theme of “The Next 25 Years.” A faculty-alumni reception will follow the seminar at 5 p.m. At 5:30 p.m., a picnic dinner, serving roast meats, salads, and beverages, will begin. Following the dinner, a slide presentation featuring the history and memories of the campus will take place at 6:30 p.m. The Anniversary Reunion will finally end with a dance in the gym, which starts at 7:30 p.m. The dance will include music from the 60's, 70's, 80's, and the 90's. Marianne feels as if “ the alumni will be enthused to see old friends and teachers. The campus as a whole, was a really close group.” Overall, she thinks the day will be “ a whole lot of fun.” Tickets are $25 for adults, and $10 for children under 12. Tickets must be bought in advance. For more information and ticket sales, see Marianne Rhodes in 111F, Main. Pepsi: Really the ‘Choice’ been controversy. It seems that as soon as the policy went into effect the Global Awareness group was questioning the procedures used to collect and properly recycle campus trash. “It’s a joke!” one outgoing sophomore said this summer.” This campus does not properly carry out what they have proposed to do.” In response, Ms. Diane Jankowski, Campus Business Director, laid out the basics of the recycling policy: 1. The containers used to collect recyclable goods are provided by Bolinski and Sons, who also pick up these containers and dispose of the goods 2. Office paper, cardboard, aluminum cans and, though on a smaller scale, newspapers are all being collected. The collected goods are then brought to the Matinance Shed and separated, though not by students. Ms. Jankowski stated that in an attempt to improve and rectify the Global Awareness groups’ trust and fears, the campus offered to let the group itself collect and oversee the overall procedure of campus recycling. They surprisingly Of a New Generation? By Artin Armani It is called the choice of a new generation. It also goes by its other name, Pepsi Cola. Now you too can have this softdrink in your hands to do with as you please. The fact is, Pepsi is the only cola that you can choose from according to the new contract between Pepsi Inc. and the Pennsylvania State University. The question that stands out is, “Why did they do it?”. The answer quite simply is the $14 million that Pepsi cola will pay Penn State to sell Pepsi cola exclusively to faculty and students. In other words, if you want to purchase a Coca Cola beverage you will have to leave the campus and search elsewhere. A second question that arose is, "where does the money go?” According to an article in the weekly Collegian the majority of the money Continued on Page 6 declined, although it was by their request that the campus initiated a recycling program.
