Of 177 people, 70 percent favored the

Daisey said he was looking at students'

extended. Those who ride the Loop from
9 to 11 p.m. use it as a convenience.
However, after 11 p.m. the service is a'
matter of safety for students returning
home from parties, he said.
The safety factor is a 'difference in
significance that I think should be
weighed," Daisey said.
For the two weekends the Loop had a
combined total of about 920 riders from
the extra hours of 12:30 a.m. to 2:30 a.m.,
he said.

Kim Papp (9th-home economics educa
tion) said she doesn't mind paying a
quarter from 9 to 11 p.m. "because it is a
lot of help coming back from a party or a
bar."
Zilly said subsidizing the Loop for
parties is "a poor image to project."
However, "if it's what the students
want and it's not costing us anything, I'm
willing to go along with it," he said.
USG. President Leni Batch said the
new hours may not necessarily serve the
majority of students, but a "different
percentage of students than were being
served before."
Younkin said the Loop drivers told him
"everything worked smoothly from their
point of view"• and riders did not hassle
them about having to pay the quarter
from 9 to 11 p.m. Some of the drivers
were actually eager for the late shift, he
said.
Loop driver Mike Spark (7th-mining
engineering) said he doesn't mind work
ing until 2:30 a.m. "simply because it's
on the weekend."

ions will have 'new look' in Blue-White contest
By RON GARDNER
Collegian Sports Writer
After a 10-2 record which included a
26-10 pasting of Southern Cal in the
Fiesta Bowl and a No. 3 ranking in the
polls last season, hopes are again high
that maybe this will be the year the
football team will finally win that elu
sive national championship. •
But much has changed for Penn State
since the Fiesta Bowl. The Lions, who
take part in the annual Blue-White
Game at 1 tomorrow afternoon at Bea
ver Stadium, are without 11 graduating
starters, 10 of which were chosed this
week in the National' Football League
draft, from last year's squad. And as a
result, Penn State Coach Joe Paterno
has labelled this season's spring drills
(which began April 6) "as difficult a
spring practice as we have ever faced."
"We have a tough road ahead of us,"
Paterno said. "The first thing you have
to understand is that we haVe a lot of
filling in to do. Everyone thinks that
because we have so many skill-position
players returning that we will be solid.
But we are anything but that."
Without Curt Warner in the backfield in tomorrow's Blue-White, much of the
offensive attention will be focused on Jon Williams (44) who shined in the Lions

Lady taxers meet Penn in EAIAWs
By MARIA MARTINO
I Collegian Sports Writer
The women's lacrosse team may
have finally become the Lucky Lady
Lions.
Up until now, they have been a team
that executes passes into points with
finesse and precision. They have
played impressively and won handily
at times, but they've succeeded with
talent, and hard work, and very little'
luck.
riil3
But this time, when the top-seeded
Lady Lions travel to Maryland at noon
tomorrow for the first round of the
Eastern Association for Intercolle
giate Athletics for Women
championships, they will face fourth
seeded Penn and not archrivals
Temple or Maryland.
And that, to Penn State Coach Gil
lian Rattray, is good news.
"We've never met them before and
that has advantages and disadvan
tages," she said. "I am relieved that
Maryland and Temple have to look
foward to each other."
She smiles when she says that.
Maryland, who stripped Penn State
of the national championship last year,
handed the Lady Lions (9-1) their only
defeat this season a 7-5 loss at
College Park, Md.
Penn State, likewise, snapped the
Lady Owls' seven-game unbeaten
streak by slipping by Temple, 8-7, in
Philadelphia.
Needless to say, the Lady Lions are
not too eager to repeat either match
up, so when the EALAW seedings were
announced, Penn State felt very fortu
nate.
"Last year, we played them in the
preseason," Rattray said, "and they
like to run the ball through the mid
field. They overload on offense. They
also like to play the zone defense.
They're very much a Temple-like
team."
And that's close enough:
"I know some girls on Penn," junior
defensive wing Jane Koffenberger
said. "I know players who have been
waiting to play Penn State for a long
time."
And the Quakers have been running
Penn State spends spring drills looking to develop depth
Paterno, now in his 17th season as the
Vons' head coach, does have a consid
erable rebuilding job on his hands. On
offense, Paterno's most formidable
task is to replace the middle of the
offensive line where guards Mike Mun
chak and Sean Farrell, along with cen
ter Jim Romano, are gone. And so is
fullback Mike Meade, who, like Mun
chak, passed up another year of eligibil
ity to turn pro.
But the Lions do have a strong foun
dation to build on offensively. Quar
terback Todd Blackledge begins his
third season as the Lions' signal caller
and in the backfield, Curt Warner (who
is running track this spring along with
flanker Kenny Jackson), Jon Williams,
Tommy Barr and Joel Coles are experi
enced and explosive.
Along with Jackson, Blackledge will
be throwing to tight ends Mike McClos
key and Ron Heller, and to split ends
Kevin Baugh and Gregg Garrity.
The rebuilding job doesn't get any
easier on defense, either. Penn State

up quite an impressive record in the
interim. Hardly the weaklings them
selves in their tough region, the Quak
ers (7-2-1 before a game with Lafayette
yesterday) tied Temple 6-6 and fell just
three short of Maryland, losing 9-6.
When the Lady Lions and Penn meet
for the first time at regionals, their
attacks should be sharp.
The Quakers' scoring punch, junior
Sherry Marcantonio, leads the Penn
squad with 29 goals and 16 assists
before yesterday.
For the Lady Lions, it's senior All-
American Candy Finn, the winner of
the 1981 Broderick Award given to the
best player in the country, and for the
fourth consecutive season, the top
scorer in the East.
Finn has scored in 51 consecutive
games for Penn State, averaging near
ly five a game. She netted,five goals
against Ursinus Tuesday to up her
total to 44 this season and 236 in her
career a school record.
"I was pleased with some of our
passing patterns against Ursinus,"
"It's difficult to coordinate every
body," Paterno said. "Different play
ers have different styles when you're
talking about the passing game, or
when you're talking about a running
game with the backs getting used to the
guards. They're the kind of things you
need for the established player."

Rattray said. "Some of goals were just
beautiful, but a couple were just luck.
We decided to always go for the as
sisted goal. . .at first, we were shoot

Freshman Marsha Florio's shots in
variably score anymore, and her seven
goals against the Bears helped the
Lady Lions to average 15.8 goals a
game.
"At the beginning (of the year), she
was cutting too soon, but she knows
when to hold it," Rattray said. "She
knows how to get in that position to
score.
"I'm glad to see us really pressure
through midfield. The offense is com
ing back."
Not that the defense isn't doing a
spectacular job itself. The Penn State
backfield, with only two returning
starters, has allowed a meager 5.3

"Our defense talks a lot more,"
Koffenberger said. "We gelled really

Paffenroth has been switched to a line
backer spot where he, along with retur
nees Harry Hamilton, Ken Kelley,
Rodger Puz, Scott Radecic, Steve Seft
er and John Walter, should jell into a
solid corps.
"We've got to develop some depth in
our defense," Paterno said. "We're
absolutely devoid 'of any experience
once you get below that first group.".
This spring has been devoted to find-
ing that depth on both offense and
defense and today's Blue-White Game
can help the coaching staff to evaluate
who can do the job come fall.
"The whole situation is a chance for
the players to show something that
they've practiced," Defensive Coordi
nator Jerry Sandusky said. "It's a
casual atmosphere it's not as pres
sure-like a situation as it would be
during the season.
"It's a chance for us as , a staff to find
out how some people react in a little
more game-like situation. There's a
crowd and a little excitement and en-
thusiasm and we've found through the
years that we sometimes underesti
mate some people. Some people rise in
front of a crowd and others might not."
Spring drills are especially important
for the younger players and those' who
are seeking to secure more playing
time come fall.
"It's a chance for us to sit down and
teach and not have them have to worry
about assignments and an upcoming
game," Sandusky said. "For the young
er players it's really important and it's
something that's absolutely nec
essary."
But spring drills are also important to
established returnees because it essen
tail to develop some coordination
among the various players old and
new alike.
