The robotics lab includes a com plete flexible manufacturing system capable of milling and drilling parts that are no larger than a cube mea suring 18 inches on each side, said Richard A. Wysk, associate professor of industrial engineering. In, general, a flexible manufactur ing system is an automated system that can be used to produce a variety of parts and products. Such a system can be altered very easily to accom modate new parts, Wysk said. "It (the flexible manufacturing system) is the first of our knowledge at any university in the United States," he said. The manufacturing cell consists solely of equipment donated by indus try. Equipment has been donated primarily by Fanuc, a Japanese cor poration, Wysk said. A neighbor you can count on We have the resources. The financial strength of CCB has been joined to one of the largest banking institutions in the country with more than $25 billion in assets. That means more support to help Central Pennsylvania's economy grow. We have the systems. Automated banking systems mean more efficiency for customer services. Mellon has pioneered syitems so reliable that hundreds of other banks use them. We've been using them ourselves since 1975. It all adds up to a lot more bank working for you. Central Counties Bank, which will become Mellon Bank (Central), is a wholly.owned subsidiary of Mellon National Corporation. Some of the recently allocated mon ey will be used to assemble a compan ion lab which will do the same processes as the full-scale lab but on a smaller scale, said Paul H. Cohen, assistant professor of industrial engi neering. "It will give us a fairly unique capability," he said. "It is our hope that we can use this laboratory as an open lab much like you would turn on a computer." The purpose of the grant is twofold, Cohen said. First, the grant is in tended to make the lab more accessi ble to students. Secondly, the money will be used to create a state-of-the art system for graduate research, he added. The . lab is used for two 400-level courses in industrial engineering, Co hen said. One robotics course was so popular that it was over-enrolled last semester. As a result, the industrial engineering department decided to offer the course again in the spring, Cohen said. Wysk said the 'robotics lab was featured in the January issue of In dustrial Engineering, a national pub lication. Member FDIC sports Lady cagers' defense, shooting mauls Pitt By RICK STOUCH ' Collegian Sports Writer The women's basketball team combined a strong .defense, good shooting and a lot of desire to earn a 93-56 wipeout of arch-rival Pitt last night at Rec Hall. According to Head Coach Rene Portland, at no other time this season has the women's basketball team (14-9) played defense as well or with as much intensity. Then again, Pitt only comes along once on the schedule. "I think the reason for good defense and rebounding was because it was Pitt," Port land said. "I think we played a very good defensive ball game tonight. It allowed us to run, it allowed us to control them, and that was a key tonight." Penn State made effective use of the three-quarters court press and a 1-3-1 zone to hold the Lady Panthers to their lowest point total of the season. In addition, Jennif er Bruce, who averages 24 points, could only tally 18, and pliyed no real role in the game other than to prolong the onslaught. • Portland was glad to see Pitt use the 1-3-i offense since it matches up perfectly with Penn State's 1-3-1 defense. She said her main concern was that the Lady Lions continue to hustle after gaining the big lead. "I thought a big thing was that we got them down and we didn't let them back up,". Portland said. "I think the concentration level was the best (all year), from the coaches on down. "That was our mission tonight -,to keep the intensity level up because we don't have an easy game left. I think we really hyped the game up to the kids and it paid off:" Last night's contest broke a three-game Pitt winning streak, but extended to six the number of times the Lady Panthers have played,in liec Hall, all without a win. The Lady Lions Jane Gilpin (23) and Vicki Link battle•for the ball with two Lady Panthers' players during last night's Penn State triumph over Pitt, 93.56. Wildcats beat 8.C., 91-79 NEWTON, Mass. (AP) Frank Dobbs led streaking VillanOva in ruining Boston College's perfect home court record yesterday night by whipping the Eagles 91-79. Dobbs had'26 points and Harold Pressley added 22 for' Villanova, now 12-8 overall and 8-2 in the conference. The Wildcats, who were winning their fifth straight and taking charge of third-place in the Big East, jumped to leads of up to 13 points in the first half but broke the game open with a run of eight straight early in the second half after the Eagles had cut the deficit to a single point. Oklahoma 78 Nebraska 67 LINCOLN ; Neb. (AP) Oklaho ma's Wayman Tisdale scored 33 points including 25 in the second half to lift the No. 10-ranked Sooners past Nebraska 78-67 in a Big 8 Conference basketball game at Lincoln. Tisdale hit his first seven shots last night to pace Oklahoma, which had led 31-30 at halftime. He scored eight of his team's first 10 points in the second half as the Sooners built a 31-34 lead with about 17:30 to go. After that, Ne braska was never able to get clos er than four points, 43-39, with about 15:30 left in the game. Oklahoma, 19-3 overall and 6-1 in the conference, led by, as many as 15 points, 65-50, with about 7:30 to go in the game. The game was close throughout the first half, with the lead chang ing hands seven times and the score tied on four occasions. game knots the series at eight wins apiece. For the Lady Lions, the victory was the second romp in a row and revenge for the last meeting with the Lady Panthers, an 86- 69 loss at Pitt. Senior forward Brenda Lar rimer said revenge was a motive. "We finally got our stuff together and started running and playing good defense and it turned out to be really fun," Larrimer said. "I'm sure a lot of it had to do our loss to them last year. "People have their aggressive games, but everyone was tonight. Everyone was really pumped up tonight." Kim Tirik sank two bombs from outside to give Pitt a 4-0 lead, and the Lady Panthers also led at 6-2, but then the Lady Lion defense and shooting touch took over, and they rushed past their opponent, never to look back. The Lady Lions shot 21 of 38 for 55.3 percent in the first half; and that hot shoot ing paid off with a 46-23 halftime lead. That percentage fell off only one-tenth of a point in the second half on 16 of 29 shooting. Many of those points came on the end of a fast break, the effectiveness of which Portland attributed to good rebounding and defense. But while everyone helped out with the good defense, Kahadeejah Herbert and Lor raine McGirt were a two-woman board cleaning crew in the first half. The duo combined for nine and six rebounds, respec tively, compared to Pitt's 10. Herbert also scored 14 points and dished out two assists in the initial stanza'. , "Kahadeejah played a great first half," Portland said. "She was very mobile and they changed defense three times on her. In the beginning they keyed on her and she just absolutely loved it." Herbert, who finished with 19 points and nine panes, was not about to let this game Cagers By CHRIS WIGHTMAN Collegian Sports Writer For only the second time in 18 game's this year, the men's basket ball team will sport a different starting lineup when the Lions host, Rhode Island at 8:10 tonight at Rec Hall. Why is Penn State Head Coach Bruce Parkhill opting for the switch? Is it the fact that the stable starting five of Lions David Griffin, Dick Mumma, Wally Choice, Dwight Gibson and Craig Collins has only managed to post five wins in 18 games thus far this season? Or can it be the fact that the coach wants to shake up a team that has lost seven straight contests? Both are good guesses, but the fact of the matter is that the Lions have a major injury problem on their hands. Currently, Co-Captain Wally Choice, the team's leading scorer, and guard Dwight Gibson, who leads the team in assists, are out of action. Choice, who had been pumping in 13.1 points a game, is expected to miss at least two weeks with a sprained knee suffered midway through the first half of last Satur day's game with St. Joseph's. The Lion forward, who practiced on the knee for the first time yesterday, was optimistic about his recovery. "It's coming along pretty well," he said, "much better than I ex pected. Today I got a chance to exercise it, and it's not that bad. I should be back next week some time." Penn State was dealt another blow during Monday night's battle against' Navy when Gibson suf fered a strained hamstring muscle in the first minute after he made a get away from her. "I was really fired up for this game because of what happened last year," Her bert said. "I know Bruce likes to go to the boards and I like to go to the boards and I just said that whatever goes up there is mine. "I ran into Bruce this summer and she said she was going to beat us and I read today that the Pitt coach said they were going to beat Penn State at Penn State this year. You don't come into Lion Country saying anything like that. You've got to be humble." And while the Lady Lions might have taken it to Pitt, they divided the spoils equally. No one scored less than four points, and the non-starters scored 39 points com pared to Pitt's 15. McGirt and Vanessa Paynter each pumped in 12, Patti Longenecker tallied nine, and Joanie O'Brien and Brenda Lar rimer both added nine. McGirt finished wit!) eight rebounds, Paynter with seven, and Larrimer with four. Penn State outre bounded Pitt, 40-25. But while a Pitt game is a special time to get psyched, the Lady Lions could use this kind of intensity all of the time, especially with the end of the season arriving and the next game against No. 11 Cheyney. Herbert said although it took Pitt to finally get the team to play this well, she thinks the atti tude will remain. "The feeling was there all year, but to night everyone was just fired up," she said. "I think everybody believes that we've got it and this is a point in the season when we've just got to keep going out there and giving it our all. I guess it's a shame that we waited this long, but I think that everybody has that fire in their eye and that it's , going to stay." confident against Rhode Nittany Lion Terry Graves dishes a pass off to a teammate during Saturday's game against St. Joseph's. Penn State will try to break its seven game losing streak tonight as the team hosts Rhode Island at Rec Hall. diving attempt for a steal. Alike Choice, Gibson is expected to miss two weeks of action. Because of the two injuries, freshman Marshall Grier and se nior Jim Forjan will be inserted into the starting lineup, joining Mumma, Collins and Griffin. Grier, a 6-5 forward out of Pas saic N.J., was forced to play a Biggest win for lady cagers "What kind of win was it? A BIIIIIG Win!!!" —, The women's basketball team after beating Pitt last night, 93.56 By JOSEPH BARRETT Collegian Sports Writer A big win it was. In thrashing the University of Pittsburgh 93-56 last night at Bee Hall, the women's basketball -team may have turned in its best effort this season. But there's no doubt in the Lady Lions' minds that the 37-point thrashing of their biggest rival was the most enjoyable game of the current campaign. ". . . Just to see everyone so excited," senior forward Brenda Larrimer'said. "Even on the bench it was so much fun because everyone was playing so well. No one had a bad game " A case in point was Kahadeejah Herbert, who in addition to scoring 19 points and clearing nine boards, also held Lady Panther Jennifer Bruce to 18 hard earned points, well below her 24.4 average coming into the game. "The (Pitt) coach said that they were going to beat Penn State at Penn State," Herbert said. "And I just said `no way.' You don't come into Lion country saying anything like that. You've got to be humble." And whether or not Pitt walked into Rec Hall humb ly, the Lady Panthers crawled away humiliated. Nei- lengthy 30 minutes against Navy and responded with his highest rebounding - performance of the season (14). The Lion also chipped in -12 points to a Penn State losing cause. "Starting is much different than coming off the bench," Grier said. "When you come off the bench, you're thrown into the fire. When Lady Lion Brenda Larrimer dribbles her way past a Pitt defender en route to the basket during last night's game at Rec Hall. you start, you build it." Against Navy, Forjan played 33 minutes and achieved his sixth double-figure scoring game of the season with 10 points. Forjan, who ranks third in free throw percent age in this week's Atlantic 10 statis tics, said his play shouldn't be affected by the starting role. "I don't think I'll do much adjust- The Daily Collegian Thursday, Feb. 9, 1984 ther Bruce nor Pitt Head Coach Judy Saurer would comment on the game afterwards. "I have nothing to say to you," Saurer said. "This is too much." Larrimer said, "All day long everyone was just really rowdy. Right before (Head Coach) Rene (Port land) came in for warmups everyone was just scream ing. I mean, we usually get fired up, but not like we were today. I think it really paid off." Paid off with interest perhaps, for Penn State cOuldn't have picked abetter tin* to gel. The Lady Lions play 11th-rated Cheyney next Tuesday in Rec Hall, and the game will be their last chance to knock off a Top 20 team before the all-important Atlantic-10 playoffs next month. "We can't sit back and celebrate," Portland said. "There's just too many things around the corner for us." Herbert, too, isn't ready to call it a season after mauling Pitt. "I was pretty much satisfied (with the game)," Herbert said. "But there's a saying that goes some thing to the effect that satisfaction spoils progress, and dissatisfaction will always make you get better. I may not have said it right, but that's what I go by." Even so, Herbert was satisified with Penn State's attitude last night. And if what she said is true, the Lady Lions should look at the Pitt game as a standard to shoot for against Cheyney and in the playoffs. ing," he said. "My job will be essentially the same. It might be a new experience for me, but I'm not looking forward to any problems." But like Forjan, the Lions had thought they wouldn't run into any problems during the season, at least one that would leave them with a seven game losing streak. In tonight's Atlantic 10 matchup, Penn State will have to beat a hot handed Rhode Island squad in or der to end its miserable slump. Although having a tough season, Rhode Island (5-15, 4-7) is coming off a big win over Duquesne, 63-57. Combined with that is the fact that the Rams disposed of the Lions earlier in the season, 64-58. Despite the recent gloom for the Lions, the team, believe it or not, is confident in its chances of beating Rhode Island. "Last time we played them, they didn't impress me at all," Grier said. "We played crummy, and still almost beat them." In that Jan. 21 game, Rhode Is land pulled away from visiting Penn State the last eight and one half minutes of the game to post the win. With the score tied at 43 with 8:43 to play, the Rams rippedoff an 11-4 spurt in the next four minutes. Penn State pulled to within 56-54 on Dwight Gibson's three-point play with 1:52 left to play, but the Rams held on to win. "I think the team's attitude is surprisingly good," Forjan said. "Anytime you lose seven games in a row, I think it would put a downer on any team. As a team, we feel we didn't play well the first game against them. So, by playing them before, and knowing we can beat them, in my heart I know we'll come out playing our best." Island
