Phys Ed courses
take on new names
By BECKY OLSON
Daily Collegian, Staff Writer
If you wanted to take a physical educa
tion and you couldn't find the one you
wanted in the course booklet, don't be
disappointed it may still be offered,
but under a new name.
The physical education department
has not dropped exercise courses like
slimnastics, weight training and nautilus
they simply combined certain courses
to eliminate an overlap, said physical
education instructor Sue Rankin.
Slimnastics and body mechanics
courses will be combined Winter Term
into a new course titled Personalized
Fitness. Nautilus and Weight Training
will be combined into Strength Training.,
"Strength Training is already a popu
lar course," said Joe Diange, depart
ment head of the basic instruction
program and strength training. One sec
tion was tried last term, he said, and
"things are going well."
The course is organized for students to
use all types of equipment, he said. Not
only are the universal and nautilus ma
chines, barbells and dumbells used, but
flexibility exercises and manual resis
tance is also taught.
"Manual resistance is a valuable, al
ternative form of . strength training,"
Diange said. "You can do it anywhere,
and you don't have to just stand and wait
for equipment."
'Any type of strength training will make
one stronger, he said, but this particular
course allows for "the best possible re
sults in the shortest amount of time."
*There have always been more males
than females in the training courses,
Diange said, but if things continue to go
Well in strength training, students will
tell others and encourage more women to
sign up.
_"There's always been a story that
women don't belong in the weight room,"
hO said, "but, of course, that's wrong."

hand, has the opposite problem, "be
cause males get scared away by the
title," said physical education instructor
Davies Bahr.
Exercise and diet are emphasized,
Rankin said, along with stress manage
ment, which teaches the student to con
trol stress through relaxation
techniques.
From assessing aerobic and anaerobic
fitness, posture, body fat percentage,
posture and ideal body weight, the in
structor helps the student decide what he
or she needs, Bahr said.
"Many students think that exercise
means running," she said. "But running
isn't for everyone, so we cover all gener
al aspects of exercise and let the student
decide. There has to be something some
one enjoys."
There are two levels in personal fit
ness, Rankin said. Some students who
are in good shape simply want to exer
cise in a group, so they are screened into
a higher level. Others, however, become
intimidated by them if they have a
weight problem, sore ankles or just hate
to run, so they are put into a separate
level.
"We don't want to label people as
starters, though," Bahr said. "Most stu
dents can do a lot more than they think
they can, but they get intimidated by
students that look slim and trim, who
actually might not be very strong.
"Some say you should compete with
just yourself, but let's face it. When
you're in a group, it's competition," Bahr
said. "So, we want to emphasize doing
what you can with what you have."
Students in both levels set personal
goals at the beginning of, the course, Bahr
said, although the instructor monitors
the goals so they are realistic yet chal
lenging. •
Many students stay with the training
after a course is over, Rankin said,
adding that she hopes the success rate
with Personal Fitness will be the same.

Research a factor in faculty sabbatical grants
By STELLA TSAI
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
Although 84 percent of sabbatical applications from
faculty members at University Park were granted
last year, 43 percent of sabbatical applications from
Commonwealth campuses were denied, according to
a study by the Senate Committee on Faculty Affairs.
"There is a great schism between the. Common
wealth campuses and University Park," said Jack
Hayya, 'chairman of the University Faculty Senate
Sabbatical Leave subcommittee. "The system is
geared to those whO do a lot of research."
The faculty at University Park are more research-.
oriented, he said.
Sabbatical applications must be well-written and
well-documented in order to receive any consider
ation during the necessary series of evaluations,
Hayya said. Because writing ability is necessary for
research, faculty members who do a lot of reseach
have an advantage over those who spend most of
their time teaching.
The committee determined the present status of
the sabbatical program by questioning department
heads and using data provided by the Office of the
Provost and the Commonwealth campus 'dean.
A raw:loin sample of 389 tenured faculty at Univer
sity Park, the University's Hershey Medical Center
and the Comiionwealth campuses was conducted to
elicit faculty reactions to the program.
The study showed that only 10 percent of eligible
faculty apply for sabbaticals, and of those, about 80
percent are approved by their colleges.
University Park and Hershey faculty perceive the
sabbatical program as equitable, but many faculty
members at Commonwealth campuses disagree,
according to the study. Faculty at Commonwealth
campuses think the program is seen as favoring the
research-oriented faculty.
Those with heavy teaching loads expressed a great

'There is a great schism between the Commonwealth
campuses and University Park. The system is geared to
those who do a lot of research.'
—Jack Hayya, chairman of the University Faculty Senate
Sabbatical Leave subcommittee
deal of hostility toward the administration of the
program, according to the study.
The committee compared the University program
to those of similar large universities through infor,
mation from the Consortium of Universities for Data
Exchange, of which the University is a member.. •
The report showed that other universities follow
sabbatical leave policies similar to the Penn State's.
However, Penn State differs from other universities
by requiring two years of service following the
sabbatical, rather than the usual one year of manda
tory service.
Financial concerns, such as the high cost of travel,
were the most prominent reasons faculty were . dis
couraged from applying for sabbaticals. Other deter
rents were the high denial rates (especially at
Commonwealth campuses), the numerous criteria,
the elaborate application procedure and the require
ment to name a replacement, the study said.
The University requires that the absent faculty
member's responsibilties be covered by other person
nel because there are no funds appropriated by the
University toward the sabbatical program. This
automatically favors the larger departments, Hayya
said.
Faculty members eligible tolake a sabbatical, but
did not, said they were too occupied with teaching,
adminstrative and research duties and family re
sponsibilities to take sabbaticals. A number of those
surveyed objected' to the two-year service require
ment after the sabbatical, calling it "slavery" and
!Involuntary 'servitude," according to the report.
The consensus was that the primary purpose of a
sabbatical is to further one's education and to learn
•
and improve. Faculty development and rejuvenation
in a new environment were also seen as legitimate
purposes.
Only 5 percent said rest and relaxation were the
primary goals of those taking the sabbatical. _
The Commonwealth campus faculty said they have
a lack of sufficient information about the sabbatical
program.
"There should be more publicity for the program so
faculty members can take advantage of it," Hayya
said. "Only a few are told about it. Those with heavy
teaching loads should be encouraged to take sabbati
cals."
About half of the faculty surveyed think the pro
gram is biased in some way. A significant proportion
said the system gives undue preference to research
oriented faculty. Others raid those with outside
funding and grants, and senior faculty and adminis
trators are also favored.
A Commonwealth campus professor, who asked not
to be identified, said that he feels that there is a lot of
politics involved with the sabbatical program. "It
depends on who's on the committee," he said. If they
personally like the applicant, the acceptance of his
sabbatical proposal is almost certain.
The study was undertaken, because of some ques
tions raised by Paul Axt; professor of mathematics,
regarding changes made in PS-17 by the administra
tion without consulting the 'Faculty Senate, Hayya
said.
PS-17 is the section in the University policy manual
which deals with sabbaticals. •
Axt, a former member on the Sabbatical Leave
Committee of the College of Science, said, "It ap
peared to us on the committee that there were
administrative changes in the awarding of sabbati
cals."
Although the changes were not major, they seemed
to be of enough-substance to warrant investigation.
He then wrote to the Faculty 'Affairs Committee
questioning the alteiations. Axt's concern regarding
the policy change as well as the concern of other
faculty Members induced the Faculty Senate to
initiate the study.
In addition, perceived abuses of the program
warranted, the investigation, he said.

Nittany L.i0n.:..•.01:41k6,......tatterp
By MIKE POORMAN
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
PITTSBURGH After finding the key to containing
Pittsburgh's Dan Marino, the only thing able to stop
Penn State at Pitt Stadium on Saturday was the door to
its locker room after the game.
It was locked.
Waiting didn't matter to the Nittany Lions (9-2),
however, for they had just knocked the Panthers (10-1)
off the No.l pedestal with a 48-14 come-from-behind win
in front of 60,260 fans and a national televisor audience.
The win helped earn seventh-ranked Penn State the
Lambert Trophy as the East's best football team. And
e, the seventh-ranked Nittany, Lions now have a Jan. 1
date with. No.B Southern Cal' in the Fiesta Bowl in
Tempe, Ariz., the final game of a tortuous schedule that
provided the difference against Pitt.
"I never felt we were out of it," said Joe Paterno, who
won his 150th game as Penn State's head coach. "We
had played tough games against Nebraska and Miami
e nd Alabama and Notre Dame. And at the end of the
Miami and Alabama games, we were taking it to them."
This season, while Penn State was playing at Nebras
ka, Pitt was idle. While Penn State hosted Alabama, Pitt
hosted Army. While Penn State. played Notre Dame,
Pitt played Temple.
"We had practiced coming from behind," Lion line-
backer Chet Parlavecchio said. "When you play teams
tthat roll over every week, you're not used to coming
back. You-don't know how."
Penn State got a chance to show its savvy early. After
each team had the ball twice, the Nittany Lions had -1
yayds total offense and the Panthers had 14 points.
In the first quarter alone, Marino was nine of 10 for 117
yards and two touchdown passes to Dwight Collins, one
lof four wideouts Pitt had in the game at the same time.
Penn State countered with a three-man rush (with end
Rich D'Amico stacked off the line of scrimmage), didn't
try to disguise its deep zone coverage and waited for the
field to shrink.
"We were doing what we wanted," Paterno ex
plained. "The closer you get,to the end zone, the tougher

PITTSBURGH "Jackie knew what I
could do. He recruited me heavy," Ken
. ny Jackson said, his voice'ernphasizing
the bit gt disbelief at Pittsburgh's strate
gy against him ----
Jackre;': Of course, was Pittsburgh
coach`• Jackie Sherrill. And after Satur
day, not only did Sherrill really know
what Jackson could do, but the entire
412ountry did too, thanks in part to Todd
Blackledge and Joe Paterno.
Paterno unleashed Jackson and the
speedy sophomore flanker responded
with five catches, 158 yards, two touch
downs and some moves last seen in the
Nutcracker Suite.
And Blackledge stayed in a well-pro
tected pocket and fired the" ball high and
long, using pump fakes and look-offs to
get the job done.
Exploiting the Panthers through Jack
son had been on Paterbo's mind since
Penn State lost 14-7 to Pitt last November
in Beaver Stadium.
"Last year, Pitt gave us lots of room on
Kenny Jackson," Paterno said. "Deep
down, I felt we could have beaten Pitt
last year. They really didn't even have
an extra half man on him. They gave us
more room this year."
Before taking advantage of that extra
4. room, the Nittany Lions first set the
Panther "Secondary up, by having Jack
son run a curl or an out pattern, or by
giving him the ball on a reverse. That got
Pitt with its single coverage think
ing one way while the Lions, and. Jack
son, were thinking another.
"We were hitting the outs," Jackson
said. "They started covering those, so I
told Todd and Joe, 'Let's take him down
town.' "
The way Jackson was going, it's a
wonder the whole Pitt secondary didn't
station itself downtown; say, right about
at the Golden Triangle.
"Maybe we didn't pay enough of atten
tion to him," Pitt free safety Tom Flynn
said. "We sort of thought he was having a
bad year, .and he stuck it in our face."
Paterno offered two thoughts on that,
saying "I guess we haven't used Kenny
enough" and "Jackson has been over
shadowed by a lot of other people."

Reid hockey team trounces Temple for AIAW title
By MARIA MARTINO
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
The field hockey team won its second
consecutive national title by convincing
ly beating nemesis Temple 5-1 in a rain
soaked game at the MAW Division I
championship tournament at the Univer
sity of California at Berkeley.
After the Lady Lions won an appeal
three weeks ago that sent them to nation
als after Delaware was originally
awarded the tournament's single at
large bid, they were determined to win.
They were determined that all the anxi
ety and the frustration they incurred
waiting for the verdict would pay off.
It paid off in full.
Second-seeded Penn State carried a 16-
2-1 record into the tournament its only
losses coming at the hands of Temple in
it becomes. Marino didn't have the depth of'the field to
work with. And that favors the defense, beCause there's
less room to cover."
Defensive halfback Roger Jackson put it more suc
cinctly: "We were going in thinking, 'Stop the bomb.'
We lined up deeper, giving him the shorter stuff."
At the start of the
. second quarter, Jackson stopped
the bomb the best way he knew how by intercepting a
Marino pass deep in the Pitt end zone., That set up the
first of two 80-yard scoring drives in the second quarter
by Penn State, which began to fill the air with enough of
aerials to mess up the radar at Greater Pittsburgh
International Airport.
In the first drive, Todd Blackledge threw five passes
and completed four, the most crucial of which was a 28-
yard blitz-beater to tight end Mike McCloskey, with
Mike Meade carrying the final two yards for the score.
Another Lion interception by Mark Robinson, who
snagged a loose ball after Jackson crunched Julius
Dawkins stopped Marino again and set the stage for
Kenny Jackson's coming out party.
Jackson caught one bomb, then another, and then a
third as Penn State surged to a 28-14 lead.
"Joe called all, the big plays," said Jackson, who
caught five passes for 158 yards, two of them for TDs.
"He'd just grab me and tell me to get in there and do it."
While Jackson most blatantly exposed' the weak
nesses of the Panthers, each of his teammates added to
the . biggest televised comeback since Richard Nixon
shook off the debates of PAO. Teammates like:
• Defensive tackle Greg Gattuso, he of intercepted
pass versus Notre Dame fame, who jumped on two Pitt
fumbles.
• Recuperating tailback Curt Warner, whose 104
yards against Pitt raised his season total to 1,044 yards.
It was the 11th time the junior had rushed for 100 or
more yards; and the 11th time Penn State had won when
he did.
• Sean Farrell, TCS's' Player of the Year, who
pounced on Warner's, fumble in the end zone to score a
touchdown and put the Lions up 41-14. ("I wish I could
get a few more. I really wish I could have caught
the regular season and Delaware in the
regional playoffs. But at nationals, the
Lady Lions proceeded to defeat Dart
mouth 2 7 0 and lowa 4-1 before downing
the top-seeded Lady Owls in the finals.
"(Temple's) Caroline McWilliams,
from the Irish national team, is very,
very fast," Penn State coach Gillian
Rattray said. "She's probably the fastest
athlete in the whole tournament. Temple
is a hit-and-run, hard-hitting, fast-break
ing team and the weather played right
into our hands."
Rattray said water was left standing
on Berkeley's spongy Astroturf field
sometimes up to an inch. It was difficult
to drive the ball 'and that slowed down
Temple. '
"They got very frustrated," Rattray
said, "because they were not good condi-
tions we had to play in. It was no advan
tage to even get a penalty corner. But we
were able to adapt because of our finesse
and we had more and more fun."
The Lady Lions' superior stickwork
was evident since the passes had to be
short ind crisp and their dodges precise.
"No one was to be alone with the ball at
any time," Rattray said. "We put Judy
Mahaffey on Caroline McWilliams to
take her off the play. She never left her
side. Judy absolutely played Caroline out
of the game."
Penn State co-captain Candy Finn also
praised Mahaffey.
"Judy had a terrific tournament,"
Finn said. "Caroline has beautiful stick
work but she slowed her down.
"We kept our poise against them. We
had a lot of flicks and small passes. And
pass.").
The Lion linebacking corps of Matt Bradley, Ed
Pryts, Harry Hamilton and Parlavecchio, which ac
- counted for 40 tackles, if you also count the work of
adopted son D'Amico.
• Brian Franco, whose field goals of 39 and 38 yards
were what made Pitt finally realize it was about to
become the sixth No.l team to fall this season.
"You could see it in their faces that they kind of let
up," Farrell said of the field goals' affect. "Oh, they
were still hitting hard and all that, but that special
intensity was gone. They had never been in a game
where they had to come back."
• And Makk Robinson, who nabbed a second inter
ception against Marino with 5:43 remaining and hoofed
it minus one shoe 91 yards into the end zone.
But it was Blackledge, playing with a severely
sprained ankle, who Paterno had the strongest words of
- praise for after the game.
"Blackledge has really showed his maturity," the
Penn State coach said. "He's a tough kid. There has
been a lot of pressure on him and a lot of tough games
because we've played some great defensive teams.
"He's showed great mental courage and great physi
cal courage."
For Blackledge, it was like most of the other 80 games
between Penn State and Pittsburgh.
"It was just what I expected," he said. "A tough,
hard-fought game."
NOTES: Bradley added an interception and Parla
vecchio a fumble recovery to give Pitt seven turn
overs... Pitt played the second half without three of its
top players: fullback Wayne Dißartola, defensive end
Al Wenglikowski and punter Dave Hepler, who tore

it was such a convincing win, they have
no excuses. They were just not good
sportsmen. It's a shame because it hurt
their reputation."'
Temple so dreaded, playing in the
downpour that it wanted to postpone the
championship game. The forecast pre
dicted steadily worsening conditions, the
rain increased, and two of the consola
tion games played before the final ran
into overtime. So at nearly 3 p.m., the
game finally got under way.
"We knew Temple was beatable," Rat
tray said. "They only beat us by one
point. We didn't adapt to the Temple turf
during the regular season or at regionals.
But theirs is very different from Berke
ley turf."

and highly crowned.
"You're playing uphill whenever you
have a corner hit," she continued. "When
the ball goes against the grain, it gets a
strange spin on it. That takes a lot of
reading."
And Penn State didn't read too well at
Temple. The setting, however, now
changed to Berkeley and revenge never
tasted so sweet.
"It was a sweet victory on a couple of
accounts," Rattray said, "We had to
prove to ourselves and others that we
belonged there. That appeal was very
unpleasant. I felt very, very sorry for
Delaware. In my mind, both Delaware
and Ursinus should have been there. But
that just shows the strength of our re

Marino looks
to learn
from errors
By RON GARDNER
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
PITTSBURGH It was a game most
quarterbacks would rather forget, but
for Pittsburgh quarterback Danny Mari
n 9, last Saturday's 48-14 loss to Penn
State was a game he'll always want to
remember. And learn from.
The junior from Pittsburgh Central
Catholic High School threw four intercep
tions, including three errant tosses deep
in Lion territory, as Penn State throttled
the nation's third-best scoring offense
after the Panthers roared to a 14-0 first
quarter lead.
"I threw the ball well, but I also made
some bad throws," said Marino, who
completed 22 of 45 passes for 267 yards
against the Nittany Lions. "You try to
learn on every snap, every play. I'm still
a young quarterback and I'm still learn
ing. And you're going to throw intercep
tions —that's part of the game.
"I'm just going to look at the film, see
what I did wrong, learn from it and next
time, maybe I won't do it. I don't know."
Marino, changing plays at the line of
scrimmage on almost every play and
mixing passes to his four wide receivers,
got the Panthers on the scoreboard early.
Marino capped Pitt's first two posses
sions with touchdown strikes of 28 and 9
yards, respectively, to sophomore flank
er Dwight Collins. To many of the 60,260
fans in Pitt Stadium, it appeared a rout
was at hand.
But on Pitt's third possession, Marino
threw deep for Collins in the Penn State
end zone, defensive back Roger Jackson
made a diving interception, which the
Lions converted into an 80-yard touch
down drive, to steal away some of the
Panthers' momentum.
"I just kind of threw it up there and
thought Dwight could get under it," Mar
ino said. "It was just a bad decision. I
should have thrown it away."
Then on Pitt's next possession, Marino
drilled a pass for reciever Julius Daw
kins at the goal line, but a tremendous hit
by Jackson jarred the ball loose and Lion
hero Mark Robinson intercepted.
Penn State was unable to capitalize on
that mistake, or a Marino fumble on his
own 46-yard line on the Panther's next
possession.
