Page 4 — LION’SEYE — September 18, 1992 Editorial Campus Changes Bring Confusion By Kaspar Stromme Another semester has started and the campus is back to its normal, busy routine. In addition, some major improvements are taking place. The new campus lighting project will bring much needed light to students taking. night classes. Also, new tennis courts will soon appear on the site of what ~ looks like a battlefield right now. The courts were made possible through a grant from the Ethel Sergeant Smith Fund, and yes, the money could only be used for this purpose. I know I was wondering about his considering tennis was one of the programs sacrificed on the budget. To replace the demolished Lion’s Den, a new modular student building has arrived. This will be the place to go if you're interested in joining a club or getting involved in other student activities. Although its new location, next to the ROTC, makes it less accessible to the general student body, it will provide well-needed offices for the SGA and the clubs. Still, the arrival of the new modular building had been delayed for two weeks, it could have been placed in the old location. My sympathies go out to the confused freshpersons out there. Don’t worry, you'll soon get the hang of it. Like those before you. Like me.

Enjoy “this year” and believe that “this year” will go by very fast. We have begun conversations with Thames Valley University (TVU), an institution located about 20 minutes by the Underground West of London, England, to exchange students. They are a commuter campus like ours. TVU has a broad base of academic programs. The reason for their interest in exchanging students is their American Studies Program which requires one semester of academic work in the 11.8.

The campus is quite nice, consisting of one very large building with only a little bit of green space. They have 7000 students and about 40 of them are in the the American Studies Program. I NEED TO KNOW if any of you would be interested in spending one of your second year semesters studying at TVU.

Letter to the Editor A Request from Death Row The following is an actual letter received from an death row prisoner. Sept. 1, 1992 Dear Editor: I am a prisoner on death row at the Arizona State Prison and was wondering if you would do me a favor. I have been here for almost sixteen years and have no family or friends on the outside that I can write. I was wondering if you would put a small ad in the campus newspaper for me asking for correspondence. If you are not able to do that, then maybe you would have some type of message or bulletin board you could put it on. I realize that you are not a pen pal club or anything like that, but I would really appreciate it if you would help me. Death row prisoner, Caucasian male, age 46, desires correspondence with either male or female college students. Wants to form a friendly relationship and more or less exchange past or present experiences and ideas. Will answer all letters and exchange photos. Prison rules require a complete name and return address on the outside of the envelope. Thank you, Jim Jeffers Arizona State Prison Box B-38604 Florence, AZ. 85232 note to Ed Tomezsko). Living in another country is a great experience, particularly if you allow yourself to be in this new culture. Two things happen when you immerse yourself in a different culture. One is that you are a minority and you will become sensitive to being a minority. The other is that you will come back to the U.S. appreciating the diversity of the U.S. In both instances, you learn a lot more than we could ever teach from a textbook. Let me know if you only “might be” interested. It’s good to see you here at Penn State. Join The Lion’s Eye We Need: ARTISTS PHOTOGRAPHERS REPORTERS Stop By Our Lion’s Den Office L
