Robotics lab gets grant
for equipment new lab
By BILL FERRELL
Collegian Staff Writ&
The College of Engineering recent
ly allocated funds to the industrial
engineering department for the reno
vation and enhancement of equip
ment in its robotics laboratory.
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.

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

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.

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."

"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

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-

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."
