Fraternities and sororities are not the only organiza
tions that sponsor philanthropies --- residence hall
houses are also getting into the act.
Rivaling the growing number of calendars featuring
the men and women of Penn State, the fourth and fifth
floors of Pennypacker, in cooperation with Coca-Cola,
are helping support the American Cancer Society with
their man-covered poster-calendar. The poster'sells for
$1.50.
"It's a great idea to have a philanthropy in the dorms,
just to show that the greek organizations aren't the only
groups that can raise money for charity," said Andrea
Granoff, Resident Assistant for Franklin. House.
The hbuse's women liked the idea of a calendar in light
of the ones featuring the University's women and be
, cause they thought it would be fun to produce, Granoff
said.
Members of Franklin House were told to be on the
lookout for guys, she said. The men were chosen very
informally.
"If we saw someone we liked, we went up to them and
asked them if they would like to be on our calendar,"
Granoff said.
Fifteen men were sent to photographer Jay C. Masta
lerz, who took the photos for the calendar. Franklin
House then voted for 11 individual pictures and one
group picture, she said.

The women were very pleased with the final product,
said fifth floor resident Susan Smith.
"I think we did a good job picking out guys," Smith
(3rd-liberal arts) said. "The calendar looks good and
people are interested."
It also proved to be a good activity for Franklin House,
said fifth floor resident Mary Jane Seader.
"We put a lot of work into the calender," Seader (3rd
business administration) said.' "It brought the floors
closer and hopefully it will be a success."
The 11 men on the calendar are all. University stu
dents. They volunteered their time and were selected
based on their physical attraction and personal groom

"I knew one of the girls in the house," said Mike
Fekete, "and when they asked me to be on the poster I
said yes because I thought it would be fun.
"I didn't look as bad as I thought I would," Fekete
(2nd-science) said. "The guys that were in there were
incredible."
Pete Greene, another student on the calendar, said he
had a good time doing the poster but also was kidded for

my picture taken for the poster J thought it would be a lot
of fun, and I was honored," Greene (2nd-prelaw) said. "I
had my picture taken at the pool and the lifeguards and
everybody there were really laughing."

last night's GSA meeting.
The new organization will represent graduate and
undergradute students from China and will, according
to its constitution, "attempt to present the culture. of
the Chinese, providing a cult Ural exchange in between
its members and the public."
The group will represent mainland China, however,
and not Taiwan.
Kitty McHugh (graduate-agricultural economics)
said the group's next step will_ be to send a letter of
approval to the . Association of Student Activities so
funds may be allocated and a meeting room may be
found.
The Chinese Fellowship Association will be under the
direction of the Graduate Student Association if any
discrepancies occur, McHugh said.

Penn State's Rich Fetter (left) traps St. Joseph's fondard Bob Lojewski In his tracks in the men's basketball team's
78.69 win last night over the Hawks in Philadelphia.
Lions' depth beats Hawks
By PAUL ALEXANDER
Collegian Sports Writer
The men's basketball team did
something last night that it wasn't
supposed to do win.
The Lions, led by 6-6 forward
David Griffin's career high 22
points, handed the Hawks of St.
Joseph's a 78-69 loss at the Palestra
in Philadelphia in front of 4,291
vocal fans.
It was clutch free throw shooting
by freshman guard Alex Agudio in
the final 23 seconds that preserved
the win for the Lions. After the
Hawks had cut Penn State's 15-
point lead to five, 72-67, St. Jde'
was forced to foul and the freshman
was the obvious choice.
Agudio canned both, to give the
Lions a seven point lead and then
Griffin made good on two more free
throws to ice Penn State's first
Atlantic 10 Conference game.
"Agudio hit the two big foul shots
of the game," Penn State Head
Coach Dick Harter said. "I thought
he played good defense putting
his nose in going after the basket
ball. He made some really great
basketball plays."
It was Penn State's first confer
ence game since 1977, when it was
in the the Eastern Eight, now the
Atlantic 10. And it was also the first
time since 1973 that the Lions have
won in Philadelphia.
The game opened with Griffin
and the Hawks trading hoops. Then
it was guard Dwight Gibson hitting
from the corner for two. On the next
Lion possession, he canned a three
point field goal to give the Lions a
three point lead, a lead that was
never relinquished throughout the
contest.
Lady cagers set for the road
By GREG LODER
Collegian Sports Writer
Playing the next two games away for the
women's basketball' team is kind of like nails on a
chalkboard, a paper cut and kissing your sister.
It's just something you don't enjoy.
Penn State will play an Atlantic 10 game
against feisty St. Joseph's at 6 p.m. tonight in
Philadelphia and then travel tomorrow to West
Chester to face No. 10 Cheyney State.
Neither game is going to be easy for the Lady
Lions, especially due to the fact that both are
being played on unfriendly courts.
Penn State (4-1) is coming off a disappointing
loss to Missouri in the finals of the Mid-Atlantic
Tournament on Sunday, and dropped four spots
to No. 16 in nationalpolls.
Lady Lions' starting center Cheryl Ellison
doesn't think the loss is that important this early
in the season
"It depends on how you look at (the rank
ings)," Ellison.said. "Rankings are not impor
tant until the end of the season."
Penn State Coach Rene Portland said there is a
lot of pressure off the team after the first loss of
the season.
"(The loss) takes the monkey off your back for
the undefeated season," Portland said." Ev
eryone played a bad game and we tried every
possible combination."
But in order for Penn State to stay close to the
top 20, the Lady Lions wit' :e to fare well in
both back-to-back games.. An State cannot look
past St. Joseph's towards the higher-ranked
Cheyney.
Portland said playing these two games in two
nights is easier than the tournament in the
midwest the Lions had to play this season.
"Dave (Griffin) just came out
blazing," Harter said. "He played
with that confidence and poise that
you need to get started in a tough
place to play against a good team.
Dave was the answer for us in the
first 10 minutes of the game."
If the Lions didn't prove enough
in their triple overtime loss to then
11th ranked Alabama, they certain
ly proved last night how tough they
are when they don their blue away
uniforms. Penn State, 5-1 on the
year, is 2-0 when on the road,
knocking off Maryland and now St.
Joseph's, who finished with a 25-5
record and an NCAA tournament
berthiast year.
"We, played very well," Harter
said. "All- things considered, this
was our best ball game. I know for
20 minutes of the time we played
the best basketball in our years at
Penn State, the other 20 minutes
was average, but for the 20 minutes
that we were right we were really a
good basketball team."
Penn State shot a very hot 56
percent from the floor in the first
half and 84 percent from the free
throw line.
The Lions finished hitting just
under half of their field goals and
just under 90 percent of their free
throws. The Hawks ended up with a
35-33 edge in rebounding, but they
also held the edge in turnovers .24-
21. It appeared St. Joe's consistent
ly turned the ball over at the most
inopportune times.
At the onset, it appeared the
Lions toughest assignment was to
get a favorable call from the offi
cials. Right . after Penn State's first
hoop, the Lions' pressure man-to
man defense stifled St. Joe's.
The Hawks were unable to get off
"We know more about these two teams,"
Portland said. "The team is more mentally
ready."
The first nuisance for Penn State will be the
Lady Hawks, who are led by 5-8 senior Carol
Polachek averaging 15.1 points a• game.
Portland said there is no trouble getting up for
a Philadelphia based team like St. Joseph's.
"They are a Big 5 team," Portland said," and
anytime you play a Big 5 team, it is like five on
zero. Anytime one of those teams comes close,
they all celebrate."
' There will be another added incentive for both
teams in the game. Portland began her collegiate
coaching career in 1976-77 with St. Joseph's,
before moving to Colorado for two years and then
coming to Penn State.
And if that isn't enough incentive for the Lady
Lions, the next night against Cheyney offers even
more.
Winning in the Cheyney gym, which has a high
school atmosphere and a women's basketball
team with top college ability, is not an easy task.
It's more like an impossible task for teams in the
last four years.
No one has beaten the Lady Wolves in four
years in their own gym. That's right no one.
Penn State was no exception to the rule Chey
ney Coach Vivian Stringer has established at
home last year when the Lady Lions lost to
Cheyney 78-70.
Portland said in the begining of the season that
her players knew what to expect by playing
Cheyney in a home and away series during the
season.
"We understood everything when we put them
on our schedule," Portland said. "It is an early
indicator for us and we are very optimistic."
The Lady Lions led at the half in last year's
a shot for 52 seconds. Can that be
right? No, but stranger things have
happened at the Palestra. None of
the three Atlantic 10 officials no
ticed that the 40 second shot clock
had expired, but a very livid coach
Harter saw that justice was done.
Well, at least Penn State got the
ball as a result of the 40 second
violation. In the first half, Perin
State had put the Hawks into the
bonus foul situation with 13:04 left.
St. Joes committed its seventh
team foul with 53 seconds remain
ing. The Lions led 38-20 in field
goals, while being outscored 15-10
at the charity'stripe.
.'
Griffin, hitting his first six of
seven shots, was benched with his
third foul with about six niinutes
remaining in the half. Center Mike
Lang was also hit with two relative
ly quick fouls, and his replacement,
6-11 Dick Mumma picked up three
fouls before the half.
Many of these fouls were the
result of trying to stop the very
physical 6-10, Tony Costner. Costn
er, a somewhat erratic player, fin
ished with a game high 15 rebounds
and tossed in 13 points, but he also
was responsible for 10 of St. Joe's 24
turnovers.
The Hawks were led in scoring by
Lonnie McFarlan. The pure shoot
ing forward finished with a game
high 23 points, including two three
pointers. Forward Bob Lojewski
scored 14 points for St. Joes.
The Lions were without the serv
ices of their leading scorer Tom
McCluskey, who suffered a
sprained knee against Alabama.
Rich Fetter was his relacement and
finished with nine points, but one of
the keys for Penn State was its
depth.
Bear Bryant to resign today
By HERSCHEL NISSENSON
AP Sports Writer .
NEW YORK Alabama's Paul "Bear" Bryant,
whose teams have won more games than any coach in
the history of college football, will announce his retire
ment today, The AP learned last night.
The 69-year-old coach will be succeeded by Ray
Perkins, coach of the NFL's New York Giants, in
formed sources said.
Efforts to reach both Bryant and Perkins were
unsuccessful, but sources close to both men confirmed
rumors that had been circulating throughout the day on
several fronts. Joint announcements reportedly will be
made Wednesday in Tuscaloosa, Ala., and at Giants
Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
The 41-year-old Perkins, in his fourth year as coach
of the Giants, was a star receiver at Alabama under
Bryant in 1964-65-66. The Mount Olive, Miss., native
went into coaching after playing five years with the
Baltimore Colts of the NFL.
He served as an assistant coach at Mississippi State
University and in the NFL with the New England
Patriots and
. San Diego Chargers before becoming
head coach of the Giants in 1979. Last year, he led the
Giants into the playoffs for the first time in 18 years.
The sources :said, Bryant would coach Alabama
through the Crimson Tide's Liberty Bowl game with
Illinois on Dec. 29, while Perkins will remain with the
Giants until the end of the NFL season.
Alabama's 7-4 record this season is its poorest since a
6-5-1 mark in 1970. In addition, Bryant reportedly has
found recruiting getting more difficult since he cannot
promise prospects that he will coach them for four
years. Although Bryant can legally coach until he
reaches the age of 70, attempts to circumvent the
mandatory retirement law for state employees have
been rebuffed.
Phillies obtain veteran Morgan
By RALPH BERNSTEIN
AP Sports Writer
PHILADELPHIA The Phila
delphia Phillies filled holes at sec
ond base and in the bullpen
yesterday when they obtained in
fielder Joe Morgan and reliever Al
Holland from the, San Francisco
Giants for starting pitcher Mike
Krukow and two minor leaguers.
The Phillies announced at a news
conference that in addition to Kru
kow, a 13-game winner last season,
they had given the Giants pitcher
Mark Davis and outfielder Charles
Penigar.
Phillies president Bill Giles said
Morgan, who had reached a salary
imnpasse with the Giants, was
given a two-year contract, the first
year guaranteed. It was believed
Morgan got close to the $600,000 per
season he was seeking from San
Francisco.
Giles said the deal was made at
baseball's winter meetings in Ha
waii last week, but could not be
announced until contract problems
were settled with Morgan.
In San Francisco, Giants general
manager Tom Haller said it was
difficult to part with a player like
Morgan, "but it was increasingly
evident that the Giants weren't
going to be able to sign him."
Haller said that San Francisco's
top priority for next season was
acquisittion of a veteran pitcher to
stabilize a young starting staff.
"And we're confident Mike can
fill that role for us."
The Phillies created a void at
contest by the score of 45-36, but Penn State's
shooting went dismal in the second half and
Cheyney held on to its four-year streak.
This year the Lady Wolves are without last
year's All-American Valerie Wright but still
possess a thorn in the side of Penn State in
Yolanda Laney. Laney scored 26 points in last
year's game between the two teams.
Ellison said the loss of Walker should give
Cheyney a different look.
"It should be interesting to see how they react
to the absence of Walker," Ellison said. "Not
only because of her talent but because of her
presence on the court."
Penn State will have a different look itself in
both games. Portland said she wants to get the
running game into gear, which she hopes to do by
the installation of freshman Joanie O'Brien in
place of senior Louise Leimkuhler.
"(O'Brien) will come into the lineup," Port
land said. "Louise (Leimkuhler) has been feeling
too much pressure lately. I hope we can alleviate
some of it by having her come off the bench."
The addition to O'Brien adds a third guard to
the starting lineup, which Portland will use for
more full-court pressure and to speed up the
offense.
Ellison said no matter who Penn State plays,
the fastbreak offense will have to be present.
"(Running) has to be in our offense all sea
son," Ellison said. "We shouldn't concentrate too
much on who we are playing."
Portland said Cheyney will try to turn the
speed down on the Penn State offense.
"They will try to slow the ball down," Portland
said. "They will probably play a 2-3 zone. We
have every indication they are as strong as
they've ever been."
The AP learned that the University of Alabama had
formed a small search committee to pursue a succes
sor in the event Bryant decided to retire. Bryant talked
with Perkins last week when he was in New York for
the National Football Foundation's annual Hall of
Fame banquet, but did not offer him the job because he
thought it would mean a salary cut.
However, Perkins subsequently got word to Bryant
that he wanted the job in any event.
Bryant's wife, Mary Harmon Bryant, said the coach
was out recruiting and expressed surprise at the news.
"I'll believe it when I hear it," she said. Later, she
added, "Anything you hear tomorrow (Wednesday)
may not be exactly as you heard it (Tuesday night)."
Beasley Reece, Giants defensive back, said none of
the players knew of the reported move by Perkins, and
added, "it is definitely a shock to me. I never expected
it. If it's true, I'm disappointed. But a man has got to do
what he's got to do."
Mrs. Bryant may have been referring to another
rumor that. Perkins would serve under Bryant for a
year perhaps as offensive coordinator —and assume
the reins in 1984.

The Daily Collegian
Wednesday, Dec. 15
In 38 years as a head , coach at Maryland, Kentucky,
Texas A&M and Alabama, Bryant's teams have won
322 games, lost 85 and tied 17. He has been the head
coach at Alabama for 25 years, compiling a mark of
231-46-9.
Dr, Joab L. Thomas, president of the University of
Alabama, refused to confirm or deny the rumor of
Bryant's impending retirement.
"I wish I could help you, but I can't confirm anything
at this stage," Thomas said:
Asked if he could deny the report, Thomas said, "I
can't deny it "
Then he added, "I don't have enough data yet," but
declined to elaborate on that remark.
ers in the National League," Giles
said.
Morgan, an 18-year veteran, said
over a telephone hookup that he felt
capable of playing every game. He
explained that his contract prob
lems with the Giants were based on
too many "ifs" and he wanted his
money guaranteed.
"There were too many clauses on
`if I did this or did that,' and I didn't
see any reason for that and refused
to sign," Morgan said.
Morgan 39, will play alongside
former Cincinnati teammate, Pete
Rose, 42, an age combination that
could affect one of the strongest
defensive teams in the league.
Morgan hit .289 for the Giants last
year and was a key figure in the
team's stretch drive for the NL
West title that fell just short of the
champion Atlanta Braves and run
nerup Los Angeles Dodgers. He hit
14 home runs and had 61 RBI in 120
games. He also stole 24 bases.
Holland, 30, compiled a 7-3 record
with a 3.33 ERA and five saves. He
has a four-year career record of 19-
11, a 2.60 ERA and one save. The
Phillies view the hard throwing
lefthander as a late inning stopper.
Krukow, 30, came to the Phillies
last year in a deal that sent catcher
Keith Moreland and pitchers Dickie
Noles and Dan Larson to the Chi
cago Cubs. He posted a 13-11 record
with a 3.12 ERA. Davis, 22, has
been plagued with shoulder prob
lems, and was 5-12 with a 6.12 ERA
at Oklahoma City last season.
Penigar, 19, was the Phillies No. 2
pick in the June 1981 draft.
