Oswald to decide policy for
dorm contract submission
By STELLA TSAI
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
Students who want to live in the residence
halls next year may have a somewhat
different contract submission system than
was used to decide who would live in the
dorms this year, depending on a decision by
University President John W. Oswald on the
merits of three proposals.
The “11th line,” as well as the lottery and
first-come, first-servod plans, are dorm
contract request approval systems now
under consideration by Oswald.
Under the lottery/random selection plan,
each student would have to submit a dorm
contract request and advance payment by
Jan. 11. If the number of people desiring a
contract would surpass the number of
spaces available, a random selection of
men and women would be conducted.
“This is a simple, straightforward meth
od for the student to administer,” said Stan
Latta, assistant director of the Office of
Residential Life Programs. “There is no

waiting in line, and they leave their chances
up to fate.”
Latta said potential problems with the
lottery system could come from the fact
that students think they have no control
over their housing situation.
Pat Peterson, associate director for the
Office of Residential Life Programs, said
she preferred the lottery to the first-come,
first-served system if a choice had to be
made.
“At least you’re not forcing the students
to wait in line,” she said.
However, the first-come, first-served
plan for dorm contract assignments is advo
cated by the Association of Residence Hall
Students. A dorm contract survey con
ducted two years ago indicated that a ma
jority of the students desired a first-come,
first-served plan.
The first-come, first-served system re
quires students to stand in one of ten equal
lines according to their social security num
bers, if there are more dorm contract
requests than spaces available.
Latta thinks the first-come, first-served
plan allows for more student input.
“Students should have their say,” he said.
The only major problem he forsees with
the first-come, first-served process is the
invariably long line of students waiting for
dorm cotract approvals, Latta said.
“However, Penn State students are ac
customed to lines and having to wait,” he
said.
Although Peterson said she does not advo
cate the first-come, first-served plan, she
said she thinks it works well.
The third process, the theoretical “11th
line,” allows students to select a dorm
contract request approval method (lottery
or first-come, first-served).
Under the 11th line plan, students who do
not want to wait in line can put their names
into a large pool for random drawing. The
same percentage of contracts would be
accepted from the eleventh line group as
from the 10 other lines.
Both Peterson and Latta said they favor
the 11th line system.
“The 11th line provides students with an
option,” Peterson said, “whether they want
to stand in line or use the lottery.”
Latta said he prefers the “11th line,” even
though it may be confusing to students.

PENN STATE AGRONOMY CLUB
Businessman: PSU can aid industry'
By LAURENE BLACK
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
The University may be able to help re
duce the unemployment rate in Pennsylva
nia by using research and technology to
help technological industries, a business
leader said at Friday’s meeting of the State
College Area Chamber of Commerce.
Gregg E. Robertson, executive director of
the Make Industry and Labor Right in
Today’s Economy Council, said the Univer
sity could provide the necessary technology
for an industrial park.
After identifying research areas in which
the University specializes, industries that
can use that technology could be contacted
by either the University, local government
officials or area business leaders to see if
they are interested in participating in the
program, Robertson said.
The problem is getting plans'together and
doing something about it, Robertson said.
Once the community decides it wants an
industrial park and puts together a basic
marketing plan, a proposal would have to
be presented to the state.
Developing and marketing agencies, lo-
cal businesses and the University could
combine their resources to develop an in
dustrial park, Robertson said.
It is important to get a variety of firms
involved in the park so that different tech
nologies are used, he said.
Robertson said that a triangle research
park in North Carolina has been operating
successfully since 1950. Duke University,
the University of North Carolina and North
Carolina State University cooperated to
form this park, he said.
“I think Penn State can do it on its own,”
Robertson said. “State College has a high
level of cultural, social and environmental
amenities which are demanded by highly
educated work force, that firms require,”
he sakL

could not become an equivalent to the
industrial research triangle in North Caroli
na, hfe said.
The park should be located close to the
University, he said. Six miles away would
be too far to ensure the easy access needed,
Robertson said.
The park would provide a campus-like
setting, with high aesthetic and amenity
levels, he said.
Funding for the park should be obtained
from private sectors because recent budget
cuts would make it difficult for the Univer
sity to receive any state or federal funds to
carry research on its own, he said.
.The park could be run on a non-profit
basis and perhaps a loan fund for small
businesses could be set up, Robertson said.

• Lion cagers no match for Indiana
By SHARON FINK
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. It happens all
the time in classic (excuse the pun)
confrontations in books and movies. In
games that count the most, a very tal
ented team is matched against one with
less talent but a lot of fight.
And that second team will play hard,
fighting for everything it gets.
This fictional world often gives those'
confrontations dramatic conclusions.
The fighters will scrap and claw their
way to fantastic upsets.
But in the real world, more often than
not, talent wins out. And that was the
case in the championship game of the
eighth annual Indiana Classic on Satur
day night as the Hoosiers used their
height advantage, their shooters and 1 a
Bobby Knight trademark aggressive
man-to-man defense to overmatch the
men’s basketball,team, 80-51.
It was Indiana’s eighth Classic title
before 13,212 fans at Assembly Hall.
Penn State reached its first tourna
ment championship game in five years
by beating Southern Methodist 65-53 Fri
day night, its best effort of the year. That
was due in a large part to Lion guard
Mike Edelman’s 23 points.
But not much of the Lions’ effort Fri
day carried over to Saturday.
And the level of effort the Lions put out
against SMU. the Hoosiers must have
been saving up in their first round game.
Although thq score doesn’t reflect it,
Indiana did look beatable, beating Colo
rado State 82-41. Colorado State was
more inept than Indiana was good, turn
ing the ball over 23 times and shooting 30
percent from the floor. And 7-2 freshman
center Uwe Blab couldn’t seem to sink a
basket from two inches away.
The championship game looked like it
could have been a stand-off. The Lions
were quicker, and the Hoosiers had to go
without Blab, out with a thigh injury.
But Indiana had at least a two-inch
height advantage on every starting
match-up but the one of Penn State
center Mike Lang and Hoosier center
Steve Bouchie, both listed at 6-8.
The Lions held their own for the first 10
minutes of the game, despite the fact that
they handled the basketball like it was
covered with Vaseline and played as if
the referees had made traveling legal for
the night. Penn State led once, at 2-0, but
then Indiana tied the score on two free
throws resulting from a technical foul
called on Penn State coach Dick Harter,
who mildly protested a foul cal on Lang.
Bouchie then hit three short jumpers,
which were results of Penn State turn
overs (the Lions turned the ball over 18
times in the first 20 minutes), and the
Lions were already down 8-2.
Penn State pulled to within one point
Women cagers 3rd
at Techster Classic

The women’s basketball team
bounced back from an 74-69 loss to
Illinois State Friday by defeating
Tulane on Saturday, 77-72, thus plac
ing third at the Lady Techsters’ Dial
Classic in Ruston, La.
Behind at halftime by a single
point, 36-35, Penn State (5-1)
changed defenses in the second half,
switching from a man-to-man full
court press (which got them into foul
trouble in the first half) to a zone
press. The strategy apparently paid
off, as the Lady Lions took their first
lead of the game with more than 14
minutes to play.
The lead changed hands until a
hook shot by Cindy Davies gave
Penn State the lead with 8:11 to go.
From then on, the Lady Lions relied
on strong rebounding (they outre
bounded Tulane, 46-33) and clutch
field-goal shooting (not free-throw
shooting) to maintain their advan
tage for the rest of the game.
In the last two minutes of the
game, Penn State scored 11 key
points. But they also missed eight
out of 10 foul shots in those two
minutes, and finished the game sev
en of 17 at the line.
The last three points of the game
for the Lady Lions were scored by
junior forward Louise Leimkuhler,
who was named to the all-tourna
ment team. Leimkuhler (nine points

twice, but then in a five-minute stretch
that started with Penn State down 23-18,
the Lions’ defense collapsed. In that
time, Penn State was outscored 19-3 and
the Hoosiers built a 42-21 lead.
“What can I say?” Harter said. “What
started our downfall was their good de

turnovers turnovers that led to fast

But the Lions never quit.

complete a three-point play with 54
seconds remaining.
“I’m pleased, but mostly re

Portland when asked about the out
come against Tulane. “Louise had
worked hard this summer at camps,
and she was consistent for us
throughout the tournament. But I
was more than disappointed in the

The Tulane game marked the first
starting appearance of the year for
freshman Kahadeejah Herbert, a 6-3
center who has had some impressive
outings recently while coming off
the bench. Herbert led the team in
rebounds with 11 and scored 16
points, seven of these in the last two
minutes.

six assists) also earned her first
start of the year Saturday after a
strong all-around performance
against Illinois State in which she
had a perfect day shooting-wise
(four of four from the floor and two
of two at the line), scoring 10 points
and making 10 assists. *
Other major contributors to the
Tulane victory included junior
guards Carol Walderman, who
scored 20 points, and Annie Troyan,
who had eight assists and six points

than two minutes to play).

“A lot of teams, when they get down.or

Anderson stars as gymnasts romp

Daily Collegian Sports Writer
CLARION It wasn’t against defending AIAW cham
pion Utah. It wasn’t a powerhouse like UCLA or Arizona
State. It wasn’t even a Division I school.
It was little ole Clarion State located in a town that
makes State College look like a major metropolis.
But even against a less than impressive opponent, the
women’s gymnastics team looked quite impressive in
its season opener Saturday and posted a comfortable
148.60-128.90 win at Waldo S. Tippin Gymnasium in
Clarion.
“I thought it was one of our best openers,” said Lady
Lion assistant coach Marshall Avener. “As a team, we
performed well. And Heidi (Anderson) did a fabulous
job. I‘ hope it’s an indication of the kind of year she’s
going to have.”
If Saturday’s meet is an indication of what’s to come
for the defending AIAW floor excercise champion,
Anderson had better clear some shelf space because
many more awards are on the way.
The diminutive sophomore was simply dazzling and
delighted the 500 fans in attendence with scores of more
than 9.00 in each event.
Anderson started off with a 9.00 in the vault, and then
came up with a 9.30 in the uneven bars. Those are
supposedly her weaker events.
Moving on to her specialities, she put together a
nearly flawless balance beam routine for a 9.50, and
then closed out her afternoon with a 9.40 in her floor
exercise performance.
With at least a dozen kids swarming around her
asking for autographs after the meet, Anderson seemed
to be more popular than Santa Claus.
But she seemed unaffected by all of the attention and
her performance.
“I was pleased with my day,’’said Anderson, who
finished with an all-around score of 37.30. “I tried out
some different routines and added more difficulty on the
beam and on my dismount from the bars. It was good to
start here in Clarion.
“It’s always better to start away because usually the
first meet isn’t a strong one for us.”
But it was a strong one in many ways for the Lady
Lions.
Marcy Levine was second to Anderson in the vault,
unevens and all-around with a total score of 34.95; Linda
Tardiff finished second on the beam with a 8.75; Karen
Polak was runner-up in the floor exercise with an 8.85
and there were no major injuries.
The no major injuries was probably the most pleasing
result for the coaching staff because depth, or lack of it,
is the major Penn State concern this year.
The lone Lady Lion injury was sustained by Joanna
Sime in her second attempt on the vault.
The problem was diagnosed as a sprained tendon in
the left toe and the gymnast from Great Britain will
miss only a few practices.
of fell apart a little bit,” he said. “That’s
the only time they outplayed us. We let it
kind of snowball. Other than that, we
played them even except for those
(five) minutes.”
Indiana guard Randy Wittman said
Penn State was the most physical team
the Hoosiers have played this year,
something Knight expected.
“I told our team prior to the game,”
Knight said, “that Penn State was techni
cally the best team I’ve looked at. And I
was really pleased that we were able to
score some points in the first half be
cause, I think that from a technical
standpoint defensively, they are ex
tremely good
“I think that we’re, uh. . Knight
hesitated a second before continuing, “a
more talented team obviously. But tech
nically, they really floored us. Our play
ers at the half felt they had been defensed
extremely well.”
But for as good as the Hoosiers thought
the Penn State defense was, it just
couldn’t handle Wittman or Kitchel. Wit
tman had a game-high 22 points and
Kitchel, in 17 minutes of play in the first
half, had 19. But more importantly, in the
19-5 scoring spurt, Kitchell had 10 of
those points and Wittman six.
Kitchell was unstoppable the entire
tournament, hitting mostly short jump
ers inside! He had 25 points in 23 minutes
against Colorado State and that, com
bined with his play against Penn State,
got him elected to the All-Tournament
team and earned him the MVP award.
He could have done more damage to
Penn State, but he didn’t play in the
second half due to a thigh injury:
The Lions started Brian Dean on Kit
chel, then tried Tom McCluskey and a
succession of others. But nothing
worked. The job of guarding Wittman
was left to Edelman but there is a four
inch heighth difference between the two.
“We didn’t play Wittman or Kitchel
well at any time,” Harter said. “Bobby
(Knight) ran some very nice things for
Wittman that we’re putting into our of
fense Monday.”
AP l.aserphoto
Wittman was just as damaging de
fensively, completely shutting down
Edelman. He didn’t get his first shot until
12 minutes into the game and he didn’t
score for another two minutes. Wittman
limited him to four points and Edelman
fouled out early in the second half.
“Indiana played intelligent, hard,
tough defense,” Harter said. “We’ve
played very little man-to-man because
everyone in the East plays so much
zone.”
But are the Hoosiers 29 points better
than the Lions?
“Scoreboards don’t lie,” Harter
laughed fatalistically. “They were to
night.”
Edelman earns berth
on all-tourney team
By SHARON FINK
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - In each
of the eight years of the Indiana
Classic’s existence, no less than
three Hoosier basketball players
have made the All-Tournament
team each year. And an Indiana
player has been named most valu
able player every year.
This year wasn’t any different.
Indiana forward Ted Kitchel and
guards Randy Wittman and Dan
Dakich were voted to the team by
the members of the media who cov
ered the two-day event, and Kitchel
was elected the MVP,.
For those three, the all-tourna
ment team honor was icing on the
cake the Hoosiers’ eighth tourna
ment title in as many years.
For the other two members of the
tourney team, Penn State’s Mike
Edelman and Colorado State’s Ed
die Hughes, the honor was like the
chocolate covering of a bitter cher
ry. It only made slightly sweet the
fates their teams had suffered.
Edelman walked out of the Penn
State locker room after Saturday
night’s title game with the cup given
to each member of the tourney team
tucked under his left arm.
He was immediately cornered by
a writer and Craig Buffie’s mother.
“Congratulations Mike,” Mrs.
Buffie said.
“Yeah, well thanks,” Edelman
replied with a slight shrug and half
smile.
“Here, let me see your trophy,”
Mrs Buffie said, “That’s nice.”
Edelman shrugged again.
“Well at least you made it to the
final game,” Mrs. Buffie finished.
The writer congratulated Edel
man, too.
“Right now it doesn’t mean much
really,” Edleman said. “It would
have been nice to win. It’s a good
consolation, but this is really a team
sport. It doesn’t really matter what
an individual does.”
Edelman made the tournament
team by virtue of his 23 point perfor
mance the second-highest of "
career— against Southern Method
ist. He couldn’t miss against the
Mustangs, hitting on 14-, 15- and 18-
foot jumpers. Edelman was 10 of 11
from the field for the game. The only
shot he missed was on the only time
the Lion guard went to the basket on
a lay-up. He got called for charging.
But Edelman couldn’t have gone
to a further extreme than he did
Saturday night. Shut down by Wit-
tOS&VliXti&i-
Linda Tardiff
The Daily Collegian
tman, Edelman was two of six from
the field and zero of five from the
foul line for four points. He fouled
out early in the second half.
“It’s just one of those things,”
Edelman said after the Indiana
game. “(The SMU game) got really
exciting. It got the adrenalin going.
You want the ball all the time.
“That was a good feeling last
night. I wish we could have had it
tonight.”
Kitchel and Wittman are born and
bred Hoosiers and former Indiana
all-state players. Both talk with Hoo
sier twangs, Wittman’s much less
noticeable than Kitchel’s.
After Saturday’s game, both were
surrounded by hoards of children
and teenage girls wanting auto
graphs. Occasionally, the two were
tapped on the arm and congratu
lated by middle-aged and older Hoo
sier worshippers.
Kitchel, the more outgoing of the
two, had more admirers that night.
But then he’d been the Hoosiers’
high scorer in every game this year
except for Saturday night’s game,
for a 21 point average.
“I don’t really like to think I have
to score that many points,” Kitchel
said. “I just go out and look for
openings. And if the openings are
there I’m going to go and try to
score.
“I try to do other things too.”
All he did in the tournament was
score. And his performance got him
the MVP award which was handed
to him by last year’s Classic MVP,
Landon Turner.
Kitchel continued a tradition with
his accomplishments, and that was
something he was very aware of.
“Myself, I do think a lot about it,”
he said. “It’s something that is quite
a tradition having never lost a tour
nament. That’s something I take a
lot of pride in and I think everyone
on the team and past Indiana teams
take a lot of pride in.”
The team championship trophy
will go in the Hoosiers’ new Assem
bly Hall trophy case. Kitchel will
tak°‘ ' MVP and his all-tournament
trophies home and maybe next
year, his picture will be on the cover
of the tournament program as Turn
er’s was this year.
For Edelman, it’s back to State
College with his trophy. But the
Lions have another tournament in
about two weeks the Cable Car
Classic in San Francisco where
Edelman will have another chance
to have his cake and eat it, too.
