Vol. XXVI, No. 4 : i 10Nn°S Penn State University, Delaware County Campus Eye December 8, 1994 Dunham Finds It In His Heart To Visit Delco By Rob Servian “I'm glad he could find some time in his busy schedule to come meet with us,” says Michael Hyde of the SGA. This sentiment pretty much sums up the attitude of not only the SGA but many of the students here at Delco. The fore mentioned “he” is Dr. Dunham, Vice President of the Commonwealth Educational System (CES). Dr. Dunham was invited to come speak and answer questions regarding certain budget issues and cutbacks within Penn State and its satellite campuses. That was in early’ November, and he subsequently declined. Now that finals are approaching us the time that students need most of their free time to study, he has decided to grace our campus, today. Dr. Dunham will be meeting with the faculty and staff from 9:15 until 10:45 in the lounge of the Main: building. The forum will then be open to students at 12:30, and it will also be held in the lounge of the Main building. Everyone is encouraged to go, listen and comment on anything mentioned. Rooms for Rent and Cheese Puffs at Semi-formal By Janeane Aube SGA has planned to kick off the end of the semuster with a Winter Semi-formal. The dance will be held at the Valley Forge Sheraton on December 9 from 8:30 pm to 1:00 am. Appetizers will be available in buffet style. They will consist of cocktail hot dogs, BBQ meat, egg rolls, pizza bagel, and cheese puffs. There will be a cash bar for guests 21 or ver. Legal guests who wish to use the bar - will present their identification and receive an arm bracelet to wear. Pictures will be taken from 8:30 to 9:30 and 11:00 to 11:30. Four framed 4 by 6 pictures will cost $5. Rooms at the Sheraton will be available after the dance for $75 per room. However, this is not SGA related. In case you are wondering how formal is “semi-formal,” Mike Hyde, ~ SGA Treasurer, suggests “a skirt and blouse” for ladies and “jeans, shirt and a tie” for men would be appropriate. “It's more of an end of semester bash than a semi-formal,” said Hyde. Dr. Ed Tomezsko joins students and staff surrounding a display ‘which encourages campus members to voice their opinions to Dr. Robert Dunham. (1. to r.)

Those two students, David Sloane (Business Administration) and Shawn Worthington (Social Science), will begin their representation of Penn State, Pennsylvania, and the United States next semester, when they begin taking classes at Thames Valley University in London, England. The University, which is located just outside London’s city limits, begins its semester in mid-February, thus giving the two Delco students plenty of time to prepare themselves for the awaiting adventure. All that’s required for interested students is a completed application form (obtainable from John Terrell), a 2.5 GPA or better, and a desire to study in London. The only extra cost is a one way plane ticket to the United Kingdom. “It’s a neat adventure,” said Terrell. “There is a two week Easter vacation,” he said, “during which many students ‘visit other points of interest in England, or make a journey to the main Eurasian continent.” Mr. Terrell also mentioned the exciting, multi- cultural events that occur in the heart of London every night. “It is a lot of fun,” he said. ; What sets this program apart from others is that it is entirely the product of Penn State Delco minds. “This campus itself is responsible for the transfers,” Terrell said. “It is a reciprocal agreement; we send them five kids, they send us five kids, and so on.” The program is, however, not without its problems. “We're still finding our way,” he said. “Housing is a bit of a problem, since there are no dorms.” However, off campus housing was easily accessible, and of low cost. If you are interested in visiting other countries, interacting with other cultures, and hungry for adventure, simply talk to John Terrell, sign up, and let the excitement begin.
