Commitment to minority recruitment questione.

that minority recruitment is important
enough yet," Stewart said.
"The University must develop a compre
hensive recruiting strategy," he added.
"Penn State could do more, down to all levels
advisers, deans, etc."
Black Caucus President Lorraine Vincent
said she agrees the University needs to prove
that it is committed to minority recruitment.
"First, we need an overall University com
mitment. It should be department by depart
ment," she said
All minority programs need to be re-eval
uated and reviewed and decisions must be
made regarding their effectiveness, she said.
If new programs need to be created, they
should be created, Vincent said. And, special
programs and services should be publicized.
"Penn State has the general idea but they
need more brain power," said Yvonne Kent,
the director of the Undergraduate Student
Government's department of minority af-
fairs.
- "(The recruitment issue) is not so much a
question of magnitude but a question of effi
ciency," Stewart said.
The University should not only be con
cerned with bringing minority enrollment up
to the 8.8 percent minority level of the state,
Stewart said. It shbuld do more than bring
"bodies in" to ensure its goals as a land-grant
institution are fulfilled.
If more put-of-state students attend the
University, these goals will not be fulfilled, he

said. The University must concentrate on
finding what keeps students here both
black and white, he said.
Stewart said he agrees that the University
has a responsibility to Pennsylvania residents
to equalize the racial balance. However, there
should not be a specific number of minority
students to aim for he said.
Student leaders and administrators agree
that a full-time undergraduate minority re
cruiter should be hired. More people are
needed to work on the recruitment issue, Kent
said.
Yet, if a minority recruiter is hired to
recruit black undergraduate students, a re
cruiter should be hired for all minorities
present at the University, she said. But blacks
are the majority of the minority students at
Penn State, Kent said.
A great deal of work needs to be done, Kent
said, and she suggested establishing a com
mittee to address the issue.
"But if we have a committee, what is a book
going to say? We must learn to apply the
theory," she said.
Student leaders and administrators agree
that more active student and alumni involv
ment would benefit minority recruitment.
Stewart said an effective recruitment meth
od is to have minority alumni call prospective
students and answer questions about the
University. The University should have a
cadre of alumni who had a positive University
experience, he said.
A large number of black alumni live in the
`There ,is some pride among black students toward Penn
State because we realize that we are the ones reaping the
benefits of attending a university with the reputation that
Penn State has. We would like to see more minority students
here so they may gain from what this University has .to offer.'
_ —excert from a letter by several black Penn State student leaders
PittsbUrgh area and they should be contacted,
he said. A telephone call from an alumnus
would have more of an impact than one from
a freshman, he said
If students want to know how their college
experiences will affect them in 10 years, they
should take advantage of the people who have
been through the system, he said.
However, Vincent said minority students
could aid the minority recruitment effort by
speaking at college fairs and to high school
students about the merits of a Penn State
education.
"Students feel more at ease with another
student," she said
Perhaps if students show their interest in
helping the minority recruitment effort to the
Office of Admissions, they could be used, she
said. _ .
In a letter printed in The Pittsburgh Courier
on April 2, several black student leaders from
the University expressed their pride in at
tending Penn State, while acknowledging that

improvements, must be made. The letter was
in response to. articles that appeared in the
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the Pittsburgh
Press concerning University minority enroll
ment.
Young said the articles overplayed and
sensationalized the negative aspects .of the
University. The University is one of a number
of institutions across the country that faces a
minority recruitment problem, he said. It will
take time to evolve, he said.
The articles were one-sided and what peo
ple said was taken out of context, Stewart
said. The writer could have been more careful
when choosing schools to compare with Penn
State concerning minority enrollment, he
added.
Also, innovative minority recruitment pro
grams could have less impact because of
these articles, he said. The programs may
have been thrown back three or four years

the University, he said.
Kent and Vincent agreed that the articles
were very one-sided. Vincent said that despite
the fact that many black students do have
problems here, none of the improvements
were cited. Kent said the letter was "in
retaliation" to the distorted picture. The
letter was an effort to "give a picture of Penn
State in the full sense."
The articles, in the words of the letter
writers, "were accurate to a certain extent."
They disagreed with the image presented by
the articles giving a "totally negative social
and atmospheric picture (of the University)."
The writers agreed that the University
must increase funding to various recruiting
programs and give more assistance to black
student organizations.
"We feel that the serious student should
explore this University. It has many re
sources-to offer, and we feel they should be
taken advantage of. If academics are a priori
ty to you and you can exist in a "predominant
ly white" community, "then don't let the
recent negative articles in the major Pitts
burgh papers discourage you from coming to
Penn State."
The letter continued, "There is some pride
among black students toward Penn State
because we realize that we' are the ones
reaping the benefits of attending a university
with the reputation that Penn State has. We
would like to see more minority students here
so they may gain from what this University

Tanner still smiling
after Bucs' 4-3 loss
By ALAN ROBINSON
AP Sports Writer
PITTSBURGH The Pitts
burgh Pirates are no longer the
only unbeaten team in major
league baseball, but Manager
Chuck Tanner still had a smile on
his face after a 4-3 defeat yester
day afternoon to the St. Louis
Cardinals.
"Losing this game isn't going to
hurt this team a damn bit," Tan
ner said after the Pirates loaded
the bases in the 10th inning but
failed to score, thus ending their
season-opening five-game winning
streak.
"I just hope we win five out of
our next six. I'll take five out of
every six games this season and
like our chances," he said.
The Pirates, disappointing the
third largest opening day crowd in
their history, 46,869, got singles
froth Mike Easier and Lee Lacy
and a walk to Lee Mazzilli to load
the bases.
But Cardinals' pitcher Eric Ras
mussen got Bill Madlock to bounce
back to the mound for a double
play. Gene Tenace, who played
last season for the world champion
Cardinals, then lined out to left
field to end the game and the
attempted rally.
"If you had taken odds in Las
Vegas (of Maclock) hitting into a
double play, you would have got
ten tremendous odds," said Cardi
nals Manager Whitey Herzog.
"That's the only place ( the
mound) he could have hit it on the
ground and not tie the game."
Rasmussen, earning his first
save, said he "had to be careful
pitching to Tenace because he
knows me so well. He's a danger
ous hitter."

San Diego Padres Steve Garvey follows through at bat in a game earlier this season.
Garvey and Ron Cey both left L.A., but the Dodgers are still favored to win the National
League West.
Keith Hernandez opened with a
double off reliever Jim Bibby, who
is trying to bounce back after
shoulder surgery last year. Her
nandez then moved to third on
Darrell Porter's fly out and came
around to score following a walk to
Steve Braun on a sacrifice fly to
short center field by .Ken Oberk
fell.
Lee Mazzilli appeared to have a
good chance of nailing Hernande
zat the plate, but his throw was
well up the third base line and
catcher Tony Pena was unable to
hold onto the ball as he collided
with Hernandez.
"I got a sore shoulder out of
that," Hernandez said. "But I
don't care; you'll never see a more
exciting game than that."
Tanner said he was disappointed
the Pirates weren't able to supply
a victory for the large crowd,
which was lured by the Pirates'
winning streak and a renovated
Three Rivers Stadium, which is
undegoing a $l5 million refurbish
ing project
. that includes a new
playing field and instant replay
scoreboard.
"I hope they'll come back. This
is a good team and an exciting
team," he said.
The Pirates • took an early 2-0
lead on Brian Harper's sacrifice
fly in the second inning and a solo
home run, his first of the season, in
the fifth.
St. Louis came back to tie the
score at 2-2 in the sixth after
Pirates' starter Rick Rhoden, who
had pitched 4 2-3 hitless innings,
had retired the first two batters.
After Ozzie Smith singled, Her
nandez and Porter followed with
successive doubles.
St. Louis took a 3-2 lead in the
seventh on Mike Ramsey's two-out
single and stolen base and Lonnie
Smith's ground ball single up the
middle. •

Milbourne's single stops

Philadelphia Phillies Pete Rose tangles with a fan while chasing a foul ball. The Phillies beat the New York Mets
yesterday 4.3 at Veterans Field. ,
four new teams will emerge as division
champs in 1983.
Here are my predictions for the National
League:
NATIONAL LEAGUE EAST
1. Montreal Expos Sorry Phillies and
Pirates fans, but the Expos are due. Over
the last four seasons they have won more
games ( 331) than any other National League
team, yet they have never won the pennant.
Montreal hired taskmaster Bill Virdon as
manager in off-season with the hope that
he's the type of pilot the Expos need to get
the most out of their talent.
And do the Expos have talent! Center
fielder Andre Dawson (.301 BA, 23 HR, 83
RBI last season), catcher Gary Carter (.29,3
BA, 29 HR, 97 RBI) and first baseman Al
Oliver (.331 BA to lead the N.L., 22 HR, 109
RBI) form one of the best offensive three
somes in baseball. The Expos' starting
pitching, led by National League ERA lead
er Steve Rogers (19 wins, 2.40 ERA), is the
best in the division and, if ace reliever Jeff
Reardon (26 saves, 2.06 ERA) has a year
like he did last season, Montreal will win the
division.
2. St. Louis Cardinals The defending
World Champions won't be sneaking up on
anybody this year and they'll be the hunted
rather than the hunters in 'B3. Bob Forsch
and Joacquin Andujar (15 each) were the
big winners on a well-balanced staff that
was. bailed out time after time by fireman
of-the-year Bruce Sutter (36 saves). The
Cards scratched and clawed for runs with
first baseman Keith Hernandez (.299 BA, 94
RBI) and outfielder Lonnie Smith (.307 BA,
68 steals, 120 runs scored) leading the way.
Although the same crew is back this year,
the Cards will be hard pressed to win the
division again.
3. Philadelphia Phillies Old age jokes
aside, the Phils should field a good team in
'B3, but not good enough to surpass the
Expos or Cardinals. After Cy Young Award
winner Steve Carlton (23 wins, 286 strike
outs), the Phillies' pitching is suspect. If 24-
year-old right fielder Von Hayes (14 HR, 82
RBI with the Cleveland Indians) produces
like he did in his rookie season of 'B2, he'll fit
nicely in the Phils' lineup with third base
man Mike Schmidt (.290 BA, 36 HR, 87 RBI)
and left fielder Gary Mathews ( .281 BA, 19
HR, 93 RBI). Philadelphia will have plenty
of firepower, but pitching is supposedly 90
percent of the game, and the Phillies don't
have enough of it to take them to the top of
the division.
4. Pittsburgh Pirates Manager Chuck
Tanner always makes good use of his roster,
but the Bucs' starting pitching is a little too
thin for them to make a serious challenge.
As always, the Pirates will score plenty of
runs. First baseman Jason Thompson (31
HR, 101 RBI) and third baseman Bill Mad-

diction yesterday with a two-out,
bases-loaded single in the 10th in
ning that gave the Phillies a 4-3
victory over the New York Mets in
Philadelphia's 100th anniversary
home opener.

last season for the New York Yan

6. Nev York Mets The Mets either
traded .);• released all of their starting
pitcher t rom last year (with the exception
of Craig Swan ) and it is doubtful if veterans
Tom Sea% er ( 5-13 with Cincinnati) and Mike
Torre/ 9-9 with Boston) will be able to do
much better. Left 'fielder George Foster
(.247 BA, 13 HR, 70 RBI), who was a bust in
his first year with New York, and first
baseman Dave Kingman, who led the Na
tional League in home runs with 37 and
drove in 99 runs, are the leaders of an
otherwise weak offense.
1. Los Angeles Dodgers The Dodgers
aren't losing Steve Garvey and Ron Cey,
they are gaining Greg Brock and Mike
Marshall. Brock (.310 BA, 44 HR, 138 RBI
with Albuquerque of AAA) and Marshall (5
HR, 9 ::BI in 46 games) are the highly
touted :.oungsters the Dodgers are counting
on to replace Steve Garvey and Cey. Third
baseman Pedro Guerrero (.304 BA, 32 HR,
100 RBI] and left fielder Dusty Baker (.300
BA, 23 11r, 118 RBI) should take some of the
pressure ill the rookies.
The offense may not be as potent as in
recent ycdrs. but it should scrape up enough
runs to support a fine pitching staff. Fernan
do Valeniuela (19 wins, 2.87 ERA), Jerry
Ruess (lit wins), and Bob Welch (16 wins)
give the Dodgers a strong starting rotation
and Steve Howe (7 wins, 2.08 ERA, 13 saves)
is the leader of a young but talented bullpen.
If experience was a criteria for winning a
division title. the Dodgers would be in trou
ble. But, judging strictly by talent, the
Dodgers are the best team in the West.
• 2. San Diego Padres Manager Dick
Williams is hoping Garvey's leadership abi
lities will help youngsters such as catcher
Terry Kennedy (.295 BA, 21 HR, 91 RBI)
learn how to win. Good years by veterans
Garvey (.286 BA, 16 HR, 86 RBI) and short
stop Garry Templeton, who had an off year
in 'B2, wouldn't hurt the Padres chances,
either. Tim Lollar (16 wins) it the leader of a
to be named later
Milbourne said the pitch he hit
from ace Mets reliever Neil Allen
yesterday was a high breaking ball.
"When a major leaguer gets a
breaking ball up he'd better do
something with it," he added.
Allen said the only thing on his
mind was to give Milbourne the best
hook he could throw.
11=MI
lock (.319 BA, 19 HR, 95 RBI) will lead an
attack that would be bolstered by a
comeback by right fielder Dave Parker,
who was limited to 73 games due to injuries,
but Pirates' fans have been waiting for
Parker to come back for four years.
5. Chicago Cubs General Manager
Dallas Green has put together an adequate
everyday lineup that includes youngsters
Leon Durham (.312 BA, 22 HR, 90 RBI, 22
steals) and veterans Bill Buckner (.306 BA,
15 HR, 105 RBI) and Ron Cey (24 HR, 79 RBI
with the Dodgers). It will be pitching woes,
however, that will do the Cubs in. Fergie
Jenkins (14 wins), 38, is the ace of an
unpredictable staff which features Lee
Smith (17 \ es, 2.69 ERA) in the bullpen.

talented starting corps of pitchers while
youngsters Luis DeLeon (9-5, 2.03 ERA, 15
saves) and Gary Lucas (16 saves) man the
bullpen. The Padres should improve some
more in 'B3, but not enough to wrestle the
division title away from the Dodgers.
3. Atlanta Braves Manager Joe Torre
will have a decent pitching staff, but not one
that is capable of carrying the club to
another division title. Ageless Phil Niekro
(17-4) and veteran reliever Gene Garber (30
saves) form the nucleus of the staff. The
offense carried Atlanta last year and it will
take the Braves as far as it can in 'B3.
National League MVP Dale Murphy (.281
BA, 36 HR, 109 RBI) and third baseman Bob
Horner (32 HR, 97 RBI) give the Braves
punch in the middle of the lineup.
4. San Francisco Giants The Giants
added Mike Krukow (13 wins with the Phil
lies) to a good, young pitching staff that
features an outstanding bullpen headed by
Greg Minton (10-4, 1.83 ERA, 30 saves). The
Giants will lack offensive punch this year,
however, with the exception of right fielder
Jack Clark (27 HR, 103 RBI) and center
fielder Chili Davis (19 HR, 76 RBI in his
rookie year). An off-year by the inex
perienced pitching staff could dampen man
ager Frank Robinson's playoff hopes.
5. Houston Astros A few years ago, the
Astros had the best pitching staff in baseball
to go along with a weak offense. Now,
Houston has a weak pitching staff to go
along with a weak offense. Nolan Ryan (16
wins, 245 strikeouts) and Joe Niekro (17
wins, 2.47 ERA) form a strong twosome but
the rest of the staff is suspect, especially
with ace reliever Joe Sambito not expected
back until May or June. Third baseman Ray
Knight ( .294 BA) and second baseman Phil
Garner (13 HR, 83 RBI) supply what little
offense the Astros do have. New manager
Bob Lillis, who replaced Virdon during last
season, has his work cut out for him this
year if he is going to make the Astros a
contender again.
6. Cincinnati Reds Manager Russ Nixon
begins his first full season with basically the
same roster that finished in last place in 'B2.
Mario Soto (14 wins, 2.79 ERA, 274 strike
outs) is the cream of the crop on an inconsis
tent pitching staff that is looking forward to
having reliever Tom Hume (17 saves), who
missed half of last year with a knee injury,
back for an entire season. Shortstop Dave
Concepcion ( .287 BA), first baseman Dan
Driessan (17 HR, 57 RBI) and catcher
turned-third baseman Johnny Bench (13
HR, 58 RBI) are the only link to the Reds'
Big Red Machine dynasty and they com
prise the bulk of the Reds' offense.

Mets
"Instead, I tried to muscle the
curve ball up there and it hung and
he crushed it," Allen said resigned-
Mike Schmidt, who walked with
one out in the 10th, scored the win
ning run after Tony Perez ripped a
pinch-hit double into left field, Greg
Gross was intentionally walked and
Milbourne connected with a 1-2
pitch from Allen, 0-1.
Mets Manager George Bamberg
er said he had Gross walked in the
10th because the outfielder is a fine
contact hitter.
But Bamberger, was upset about
the failure of second baseman Brian
Giles to cover first on a bunt by
Gross in the ninth that set up the
tying run for the Phillies.
"It's tough to get hurt by a mental
lapse," said Bamberger. "It was
just a mental lapse, that's all. He
(Giles) is a heads-up player. I'm
sure it won't happen again."
Tom Seaver, who 'gave up five
hits, struck out four and walked four
in seven innings and was ahead 3-2
when he left, said he felt his work
was sloppy.
"I got behind in some situations
where I didn't want to. I struggled a
little," the Mets starter said.
Reliever Ron Reed got his first
victory against no losses.
The Mets took a 3-2 lead into the
bottom of the ninth. But Pete Rose's
sacrifice fly off reliever Doug Sisk
scored Bob Dernier, a pinch-runner
for Bo Diaz, who had led off the
inning with a walk. That denied
Seaver his first win since returning
to the Mets in a trade with Cincin
nati last winter.
The Mets got one run in the first
off John Denny after Bailor singled
with one out and raced all the way to
third on a wild pickoff throw. After
Dave Kingman struck out, George
Foster singled to right, scoring Bail
or. .
The Phillies went ahead 2-1 in the
bottom of the first on a single by
Gary Matthews, walks to Joe Mor
gan and Von Hayes and a two-run
single by Diaz.
