Rookies make their mark in NFL
By The Associated Press
It is called rebuilding. Sometimes, as
in the case of a team like the Detroit
Lions, it can seem to occur almost in
stantaneously. Then there are teams like
the New York Giants, for whom
rebuilding seems to go on forever.
Halfway through the season, 181
rookies dot the rosters of the 28 National
Football League teams, 45 of them fre
quent starters.
In the Lions’ case, the “rebuilding”
tag is misleading. They were, after all,
contenders for a playoff berth or a divi
sion title every year from 1969 to 1978.
Then came the crash of ’79, when a cou
ple of key injuries (most notably their
quarterback, Gary Danielson) resulted
in a 2-14 record and, as befits such a ter
rible showing, the No.l draft choice.
He was Billy Sims and he has helped
the Lions to roar back into prominence
as leaders of the National Conference’s
Central Division. But Sims isn’t the only
newcomer to help Detroit’s cause, even
if he is the most visible. Consider kicker
Ed Murray and tackle Ed Whited.
Murray, a Nova Scotia native, was
drafted out of Tulane in the seventh
round, primarily to give place-kicker
Benny Ricardo some competition. He
ended up kicking Ricardo out of a job.
“He impressed us so much with his
deep kickoffs and hjs accuracy on field
goals that he was the obvious choice,”
coach Monte Clark said.
Murray was good on his first sevfen
field goal attempts, starting with a
52-yarder against Los Angeles. His first
kickoff wasn’t quite as successful. Drew
Hill of the Rams returned it 98 yards for
a touchdown. Since then, though, few of
his kicks have been run back beyond the
20. And with 65 points he’s the No. 2
scorer in the league, trailing only John
Smith, New England’s place-kicker.
• Whited, ignored in the draft, was sign
ed as a free agent out of Pacific as a
kick-snapper. Center Tom Turnure,
drafted in the third round, had contract
problems and didn’t report to camp until
the third week of the preseason, giving
Whited a chance to make the squad. He
took over the long-snap duties when Tur
nure was hurt in the third week of the

NEW YORK CAP) Bill Russell and Red Auerbach,

season. And when second-year tackle
Keith Dorney hurt his knee two games
ago, Whited became a starter.
“When I first saw him I didn't give
him much of a chance,” Clark said. “But
he really worked hard. He almost chang
ed the structure of his appearance (put
ting on 18 pounds, to 255). He was just a
surprise.”
The Giants, whose last winning season
was 1972 and whose last title of any kind
came in 1963, have 16 rookies on their
roster, by far the most of any team. Cin
cinnati is next with 10.
Being a top draftee on one of the most
consistently bad teams in the league
or on any team, for that matter
doesn’t guarantee immediate success in
the NFL.
Cornerback Mark Haynes, the Giants’
top choice, was given a starting job by
coach Ray Perkins the moment his
name was mentioned at the draft. He
proceeded to throw the job away in the
preseason, regained it early in the
season, lost it again and has it now only
because Terry Jackson has a separated
shoulder.
The other drafted rookies who start for
the Giants these days are wide receiver
Danny Pittman, picked in the fourth
round, and safety Bud Hebert and
linebacker Chris Linnin, both taken in
the seventh round.
Haynes was the No. 8 selection in the
draft. The No. 2 pick, for the other New
York team, was Johnny “Lam”' Jones,’
the fleet receiver from Texas. The Jets,
everyone said, would be devastating
with Jones and Wesley Walker. Today,
Walker is injured and Jones, ineffective
from the start, rides the bench much of
the time while Derrick Gaffney, who
started last year, does the same -this
season.
At least he’s still around and
available. Penn State defensive end
Bruce Clark, the N 0.4 choice in the draft,
opted for Canada instead of life with the
Green Bay Packers, just as another
first-round pick (Buffalo’s No.l a year
ago), Tom Cousineau, did a year earlier.
Some of the other first-round draftees
who have made it instantly big in the
NFL this year are San Francisco' runn-
Russell, a five-time NBA Most Valuable Player, beat
arch-rival Chamberlain for the outstanding player
honor. But Chamberlain received a measure of con

O'Grady
GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) - Jim
Watt, the 32-year-old Scot who was an
unfashionable domestic champion for
years before winning the World Boxing
Council lightweight title, makes his
fourth defense against an American 11
years his junior at the Kelvin Hall Arena
early tomorrow morning.
Sean O’Grady, a 21-year-old puncher
from Oklahoma City, Okla., has won 73
of his 74 professional fights, 65 by
knockouts.
The fight will be televised live in the
United States by NBC at 9 p.m. EST
tonight.
Their confrontation is a lucrative one
for Watt, one full of opportunity for
O’Grady, who turned professional at 15.
Champion Watt, a southpaw who has
lost six of his 44 professional bouts, is
confident.
“I’m in great shape mentally and
physically,” he said.
“Everything has gone according to
plan so far, and I’m very confident that
the title will still belong to Scotland at
the weekend.”
O’Grady’s buildup has been a troubled
one his father-manager has been in
volved in clashes with the WBC and the

By MARGIE MARRON
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
Commonwealth campus and Universi
ty* ty Park students will join forces this
weekend as Penn State prepares to
celebrate “All U Day” tomorrow.
“The theme of All U Day this'year is
‘Celebrate Penn State: 125 Years
Together’ with an emphasis on the word
together,” Carole Olson, spokeswoman
f for the Keystone Society, said.
“It is basically a day 1 to unite all of
Penn State’s campuses,” she said.

Residence halls radio stations ask ASA for funds
By ANNE CONNERS
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
West and East Halls’ radio stations
have requested funding from the
Associated Student Activities’ Budget
f Committee for the first time since 1974.
ASA postponed immediate decision on
the request, which the stations made
yesterday, because only- four of the eight
committee members were present at the
meeting, ASA chairman Bill Snyder
said.
WHR, the West Halls radio station, re
'* quested $3,100 for new equipment, in
cluding a transmitter, cassette recorder,
amplifier and broadcast board.
.Director chosen for Mental Health Center
By KOSA EBEKLY
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
David J. Brown has been named direc
tor of the University Mental Health
Center, effective Nov. 1.
Brown, an affiliate associate professor
tif psychology, has been serving as ac
ting director of the center since last
October.
The center is effective now but can be
more effective in the future, Brown said.
All U Day.
Olson said activities for All U Day will
include a banner competition during the
Penn State-Miami football game. Each
commonwealth campus can enter one
banner, and each banner will be judged
by the Nittany Lion and the Penn State
cheerleaders during the game, she said.
The All U Day committee is also spon
soring a dance in the HUB Ballroom
-from 8 to midnight tomorrow night. Ad
mission is $1.25 and music will be provid
ed by the group Metrix, Olson said.
An information center will be set up on
the ground floor of the HUB from 9 to 11
The new equipment would allow W,HR
to expand their broadcasting from War
ing Dining Hall to all of West Halls by
Dec. 7, said Mark Moeser, general
manager of WHR.
The East Halls station, WEHR, re
quested $l,BOO for a record subscription
service, two new turn tables, new tone
arms and tape cartridges.
If WEHR had this new equipment it
could increase its flexibility, raise its
quality and diversify its program selec
tion, said Matt Wolchko, personnel
manager for WEHR.
WEHR President Greg Lachs said the
station cannot afford to buy the equip
Brown said he plans to make several
changes at the center in the future
because “there are a lot of holes that can
be filled.”
First, Brown said he plans to advocate
a movement toward a “more extensive,
diverse group program, instead of in
dividual one-to-one counseling.”
In a usual year, he said , the center
conducts five therapy groups per term.
This term, Brown said, 15 groups were
tomoorow morning to help Com
monwealth campus students find their
way around, Olson said. Parking direc
tions and information on All U Day ac
tivities can also be obtained from the
center, she said.
Olson said about 2,000 Commonwealth
campus students are expected to come
to University Park this weekend.
“The Keystone Society, the Hetzel
Union Board and the Student Affairs of
fice have worked very hard to organize
All U Day,” she said. “We’ve been sen
ding letters and flyers to the campuses
about All U Day for awhile, so we’re hop-
ment itself,
“We are financially running on a
treadmill,” he said. “All our money goes
into expenses and we can’t expand.”
G. Kenneth Nelson, faculty adviser to
ASA, said money could be saved if the
record subscription service wanted by
WEHR was shared between it, WDFM
and WHR.
“There may be ways to get things done
cheaper than they ( WEHR and WHR)
think,” Nelson said.
ASA currently does not have a full
committee because of delay by
Undergraduate Student Government
Executive Council, USG Senate and USG
organized.
Brown said he also plans to move the
Mental Health Center away from being
“so reactive a center.”
Rather than waiting for people ,to
come to the Center for services, Brown
said he hopes to implement several
preventative type services or “more ac
tive, pro-active initiatives.
“I think that a third change is
reflected in the fact that we win pro
ing for a good turnout.”
Attendance for All U Day will be
helped by the Todd Rundgren and Utopia
concert being presented by the Universi
ty Concert Committee tomorrow night,
Olsen said.
The main purpose of All U Day is to
develop a sense of unity among Penn
State students, she said.
“I think it (All U Day) should bring a
feeling that branch campus students
aren’t outsiders they’re as much a
part of Penn State as the students at the
University Park campus,” she said.
Academic Assembly to appoint
representatives, Snyder said.
"I had hoped that we might have a full
committee by now,” he said.
USG Executive Council, USG Senate
and USG Academic Assembly still need
to appoint one representative to ASA.
“For the most part we forgot about
it,” said Ted Szklenski, president of the
Academic Assembly.
USG President Joe Healey said the ex
ecutive council will interview applicants
for the budget committee position at a
special meeting next Monday.
“I hope to have a full committee by
early next week,” Snyder said.
bably change the name of the center
sometime this year away from the men
tal health center ... to lay to rest
stereotypes and misconceptions of men
tal health care,” Brown said.
The term mental health center has
negative connotations, Brown said.
In the future the center will be check
ing its effectiveness by data rather than
just opinions, Brown said.
Party reps, debate
campaign platforms
By KAREN KONSKI
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
Representatives of four of the five
major student political organizations
presented differing views on impor
tant issues of the presidential cam
paign in a debate last night at the
HUB.
Each representative answered five
questions dealing with his or her
party’s platform and candidate’s per
sonal opinions.
“President Carter has displayed a
sincere commitment to ERA through
actions,” said Elizabeth Price,
representative of the College Young
Democrats.
Price also said Carter supports the
right of the woman’s choice in abor
tion decisions.
Carter’s numerous appointments of
women to high government positions
were proof of his belief in the equality
of women, she said.
Anthony Christino, College
Republican representative, said,
“ERA is now in the hands of state
legislation.”
Christino said the Republicans sup
port ERA, and Republican presiden
tial candidate Ronald Reagan even
signed the bill while governor of
California, butihat Reagan thinks the
time extentibn for the amendment
presents a dangerous precedent.
Reagan also believes in giving
federal aid to help fight crime, but
that crime was best handled by the
- states, Christino said.
To ban legalized abortion would be
“to drive young women back to the
back alley, coat hanger days,” said
Tom Ortenberg, spokesman for the
College Consumer Party and can
didate Barry Commoner.
Ortenberg also said Commoner

believes in equal pay for men and
women, and the way to lower the
crime rate is to provide more jobs.
Students for Anderson represen
tative Steve Reeves said independent
presidential candidate John B.
Anderson is also a “strong supporter
of women’s rights” and will fight for
the ERA and the woman’s right, to
choose an abortion.
“Our dependence on foreign oil is a
crippling vulnerbility,” said Reeves
on energy. He said Anderson will
research all of the options “from
hydropower to fusion” and then
decide which energy source is best.
Reeves said Anderson was “shaken
by the accident at Three Mile Island”
and will put a moratorium on nuclear
energy.
According to their representatives,
both Carter and Commoner favor a
switch to renewable energy sources.-
The Consumer Party favors public
control of the energy industry though,
Ortenberg said.
However, Christino said Reagan
will not ignore those sources the coun
try now has, including nuclear
energy, until there is a viable alter
native. He said Reagan also feels the
country should increase its use of coal
but “standards need to be revised to
create, a balance between the en
vironment and the economy.”
In his summary, Christino said,
“Defense and foreign policy are the
key issues” in the campaign because
they are tied in closely with domestic
problems.
Ortenberg said the goal of the Con
sumer Party was to get “5 percent of
the vote on Tuesday. Then the
Federal Election Commission will
