24—The Daily Collegian Friday, Dec. 1
Railroaders recreate
life in miniature
Model trains aren't kid stuff. Just
ask a member of the Penn State
Modeling Club.
"We aren't working with toys;
we're recreating life in miniature,"
club president Jim Blair said.
Some of that miniature life will be
on display on the HUB ground floor
this weekend. The public will have a
chance to see the club's 15- by 25-foot
train layout, nicknamed, "The Route
of the Nittany Lion," in a pre-
Christmas open house. The open
house will be held from 6:30 to 9 p.m.
Saturday and from 1 to 5 p.m. Sun
day.
The layout depicts a typical central
Pennsylvania countryside. Although
it is the same layout used in last
year's display, buildings and scenery
have been added, Blair said.
Building and designing such scenes
are reasons why some students get
involved in model railroading, he
said. —by Maria Nicolo

Today, Jordan is expected to meet
with Grubb and probably a few col
lege deans, Grubb said, noting he did
not know the full details of Jordan's
visit.
"(Jordan) likes to make his own
appointments," Grubb said.
Jordan is also expected to return to
the University for two or three days
on Jan. 16. However, the visit and
itinerary are still tentative. .Jordan
may stop at a Commonwealth cam
pus and Harrisburg depending on the
schedules of the people he wants to
meet, Grubb said.
The incoming president has said he
will attempt to visit the University for
a few days each month until he takes
office.
Jordan last visited the University
on Nov. 29 through Dec. 1.
