Happy Hour Prices till 10:30 By JOHN M. RAFACZ Daily Collegian Staff Writer Barbara Ann Brignola (7th-English) resents people criticizing scholarship pageants by calling them beauty pageants. And she has a good reason. Brignola won the Miss Central Pennsylvania Scholarship pageant on March 21 in Holidaysburg. "It's not a beauty pageant, it's a scholarship pageant," Brignola said. "And all of the contes tants are usually in school and want to continue their education." Brignola received a $l,OOO scholarship for winning. She said found prejudices against the pag eants when the contestants were asked to sell advertising to merchants to support the contest. "I was told by a few owners of the stores (in State College) that they refuse to support a sexist beauty pageant. And so I would just look at them and smile and say, 'Well, you have a right to your opinion,' and walk out." By winning the pageant, Brignola becomes one of 20 state women who will compete in the Miss Pennsylvania Scholarship Pageant in June. The winner will travel to Atlantic City in Septem ber for the Miss America Pageant. Brignola, 22, is a native of Bala-Cynwyd, a suburb of Philadelphia.

Police estimated the damage to the motorcycle at $5OO. degree in science from the Hahnemann College of Allied Health Professions and has worked for a year as the head nurse at a suburban Philadel phia rehabilitation center. She left nursing because she wanted to pursue her interests in acting and dancing, she said. "I just felt my education wasn't complete. It's not like I'm getting out of nursing. I just happen to have two careers two interests. My goals have changed now." Brignola, who specializes in jazz and tap dancing, got a late start as a dancer because she was too shy when she was young, she said. "I began tap dancing when I was (a senior) in high school." As a member of Orchesis, the University student dance company, Brignola participates in the group's semi-annual performances. In Philadelphia, she was the lead dancei for K & L Productions, which owns a chain of dinner theaters. Brignola also has performed in such plays as "The Glass Menagerie" and "The Music Man." "When I came up here (to the University), I thought I wanted to major in theater arts," she said.

Brignola said she has been having trouble adjusting to the University and State College. "Everything it's very laid back. And I'm used to the hustle and the bustle and everything moving fast and the city. It's not hectic up here at all and I'm still like that. And I'm still a very jumpy person. I don't know if I'll ever be able to change into this." She also said the atmosphere here is artificial. "I don't ever see anyone under 20 or over 20. You just see kids all the time. And I like variety. It's like a Mickey Mouse world. "And personally, I don't think that coming to a school like this in this little 'fake' world prepares you for going out and getting a job and facing the realities of today's society." Brignola said she never felt sexually exploited in any part of the pageant not even during the swimsuit competition. "It is just a minor part of the competition and I think all of the contestants are pretty uneasy about that part of it. You're being judged on how you look in that swimsuit." She pretended she was modeling the swimsuit to get over the feeling that she was being judged on how she looked in it, Brignola said. "I was showing the swimsuit off, not my body. "I'm feminine and I enjoy my femininity.

I don't think there's anything wrong with shoviiing that off and being proud of it 'cause I'm a girl." The pageant is judged on four unequally graded criterions. An interview carries the hio est point value, followed in importance by talent, evening gown and swimsuit presentations. The evening gown section includes on-stage persoriali s, • ty and a brief talk with the audience. It takes more than pleasing the audience to win a pageant, she said. "I'm a performer and whenever I'm on stag% I'm thinking of the audience because I love to perform. But in a pageant yes you're selling yourself to the judges." The competition among the women is not what some people think, she said. "Everybody would like to win, but it really doesn't go through your mind when you're at!th,, rehearsals. It goes through your mind now snot° then, but you don't become obsessed with 'I want to win,' or you shouldn't let yourself. "You're really not competing against the other girls, you're competing with yourself." Brignola said she will be making some paid appearances as Miss Central Pennsylvania. She added she is looking forward to appearing' beo/ cause she thinks it will be exciting. She also is preparing for the state pageant in Altoona. NEW SHADES!

The 143 So Cal College of Engineering gets new dean By DIANNE GARYANTES Daily. Collegian Staff Writer Wilbur L. Meier Jr., head of the School of Industrial Engineering at Purdue University, was named dean of the University's College of Engineering, a statement released by University President John W. Oswald announced last week. Meier will replace Dean Nunzio J. Palladino on July 1, the statement said. At the time of the announcement, Oswald indicated that final ratification of the appointment will be made at the May meeting of University Board of Trustees, University Public Information said. George J. McMurtry, associate dean for instruction in the college, said Palladino requested an early retirement from his post about a year ago. Palladino will become a professor of nuclear engi neering and is writing a book on that subject, he said. Palladino has been dean of the College of Engineering since 1966. He has been with the University since 1959. Meier said he was pleased with his new appointment. "I'm very pleased and very excited about it," Meier said in a telephone interview last week. "It's a great opportunity. "Penn State is and has been one of) he .major engi neering institutions in the United States," Meier said. Meier said though he has not had time to look at the college in detail, he does have a few ideas. "An obvious objective is to build up undergraduate research," he said. "I think it will strongly develop the undergraduate program and will contribute to undergrad uate courses.

Meier said because there is a growing demand for engineers, the number of undergraduates in the college has been increasing over the past several years. To facilitate this growth, Meier said something should be done to either limit enrollment or expand the facilities. Meier said expanding undergraduate facilities would necessitate obtaining funds, but he said he does not anticipate any problems in that area. At Purdue, Meier increased externally funded research from $281,000 to more than $1.2 million under his lead ership, Provost Edward D. Eddy said at the time of the announcement. McMurtry said the groundwork for a fund-raising drive for the college has already been laid by Palladino. The funds would .be raised .through industries, alumunae and friends, he said. Meier said he does not anticipate any difficulties with the switch from Purdue to the University. The student population at Purdue is 32,500, roughly the same as that of University Park, which has about 33,000. Meier said Purdue is on a semester system now, so there will be no problem with the conversion to the system here. Both McMurtry and Edward H. Klevans, associate dean for research in the College of Engineering, said they were pleased with Meier's appointment. "There will undoubtedly be changes because each dean has his own style and his own goals," McMurtry said. Klevans said, "We've always had tremendous stability in this college." wounded buddy. 9:30 800 HOUSE CALLSA psychlatricpatlent holds Ann and Mr. Peckler hostage with a gun; when themandemandsahelicopterandransom money, Dr. Michaels takes the man's threats to kill Ann and Peckler seriously. 10:00 0 NEWS colon LOU GRANT When Crusher Carter, a hard hitting pro footbal star, is sued for injuring an opponent, the incident raises questions at the Trib over how well it covers the touchy sub- It of violence in sports.
