Spring fling:
By KRISTINE SORCHILLA
Collegian Staff Writer
The 1984 Greek Week begins today and the
event is "ready to go," the overall chairwoman
said last week.
. "We expect a really fun week and hopefully a
lot of people will see what's going on and want to
participate more next year," Dianne Koehle
said.
From today until Sunday, fraternity and sorori
ty members, as well as the entire University
community, may participate in various activities
and games sponsored by the . University's Greek
community.
About 25 teams will compete in this year's
Greek Week under the theme "All Week Long"
and 17 of those teams will compete for the overall
' title; Koehle said.
The winning team of each game will receive 100
points. The team compiling the most points at the
close of Greek Week will be declared the overall
winner.
Overall University participation is higher than
last year, Koehle said. She added that last year's
Greek Week committee laid the groundwork for
more University involvement and the overall
committee for 1984 just picked up where the
previous year's committee left off.
Jeff Klein, Greek Week games chairman, said

Gymvvomen reach goal
by placing 7th at NCAAs
By SANDY KNAISCH
Collegian Sports Writer
The women's gymnastics team
has had a year centered around
setting goals and has achieved
more than Head Coach Judi Aven
er had ever expected.
The goals went from day to day,
from week to week and some were
season-long goals. The most im
portant objective for the Lady
Lions was winning the regional
championships that qualified
them for the national
championships in Los Angeles this
past Friday and Saturday.
Penn State's goal for the nation
al meet was to finish better than
last, and once again the Lady
Lions did what they set out to do.
"It's been a Cinderella year for
us," Avener said. "This team real
ly outdid itself and performed
better than my wildest expecta
tions. I am just so pleased with
hOw things turned out..
"I'm really thrilled. It was one
of the best meets of the year," she
added. "We went four for six on
beam and five for six on bars. We
reached our goal and that in itself
was an accomplishment.. 'The
team did a phenomenal job for
national competition • and kept
their cool."
Penn State took seventh place in
the meet that featured such gym
nastics powers as the University
of Utah, which captured the na
tional title with a total score of
184.05.
The Lady Lions scored 179.45,
although their season high was
184. Scoring on the west coast has
a tendency to be slightly higher
than in the east, but Avener said
the scoring was very accurate and
was similar to scoring back here.

unkins gets his wish in final Rec Hall appearance
By JOHN WEISS
Collegian Sports Writer
It was to be the final home appearance for
senior outside hitter Steve Hunkins and
veteran middle blocker Boris Kaz.
And going into Saturday night's match
against Rutgers-Newark at Rec Hall, Hun
kins said all he wanted was for the Lions to
play well as a team and not give their
opponent even the slighest chance of getting
into the match.
Hunkins ended up getting his wish and
Penn State ended up getting quite a confi
dence, builder when it manhandled the hap
less Rutgers-Newark squad 15-3, 15-0, 15-7.
The win upped the Lions' mark to 18-9,
Every team scored about five
points below its season average.
Individual performaQces were
outstanding and - the majority of
the team members hit all their
routines. Freshman Bernadette
Robertson hit all three of her rou
tines, Kathy Pomper went four for
four and Nadine DeLeo went two
for two.
"They reacted so well in the
tense situation at nationals,"
Avener said. "It was their first
time there and it was a great effcirt
by a young team. Nobody beat us
that shouldn't have and all six
teams that beat us were in a
different ball park.
"Every team there really
wanted to win and beat the other
teams," she said. "There were no
friendly rivalries and everyone
wanted to prove how good we were
and they held up real well."
After team competition Friday
night, the top eight performers on
each event competed individually
for national titles.
The only Lady Lion to advance
to individual competition was
Pam Loree. Loree scored 9.50 and
took sixth place in vaulting Fri
day. She performed two different
vaults, her usual double front som
ersault and a new double front in
the piked position to place fifth
and achieve All-American status.
It has also been a year of learn
ing experiences for the, young
Lady Lion team. Already the team
has learned from their competi
tion on the national level. Avener
said she is looking forward to
seeing the effect of that experi
ence when the team gets back into
the gym to start training for next
season.
"This experience is real motiva
tion for the future," she said.
with their Eastern Collegiate Volleyball
League record now at 2-2.
Before the match, Hunkins, an All-Ameri
can in 1982 and All-East selection the past
two seasons, and Kaz, a former member of
the Israeli National Team and All-East
selection last year, were each presented
with team letter blankets by Penn State
Head Coach Tom Tait.
"It's the last time I play here, it's kind of
sad," Kaz said following his team's easy
victory. "I'd like to continue." •
The way they picked apart Rutgers-New
ark Saturday night, Kaz and the Lions
probably would have wanted to continue.

Lady taxers trounce William & Mary
By PATTI SILVESTRO •
Collegian Sports Writer
The unseasonably cold weather
didn't stop the women's lacrosse
team from trouncing William &
Mary 23-3 Saturday at Lady Lion
Field.
"I think we played better in the
cold because it made us move,"
Head Coach Gillian Rattray said.
"We said we had to take every ball
on the move and shoot on the move
and because of the cold weather, I
think we did just that."
The No. 3 Lady Lions,- now 5-0 on
the season, went on the offensive
immediately after the opening face
off. And it paid off less than a
minute later as captain Betsy Wil
liams, assisted by Laurie Gray,
scored Penn State's first goal.
The Lady Lions never looked back
and in the next 24 minutes they
tallied 12 more times while the No. 7
Lady Indians scored only once.
Penn State led William & Mary 13-1
at halftime.
Rattray said she was very
pleased with both the offensive and
defensive performances against
William & Mary, adding that de
fensive wing Barb Jordan played a
fantastic game.
"I think our offense played the
best game they have played this
year and our defense is always
tough," Rattray said. "I think Barb
Jordan was the defensive player of
the game. She broke up so many
plays and had so many intercep
tions."
Jordan had seven groundballs in
the 'game and used her defensive
tactics to score one goal in the first
half. She said Penn State was sur
prised with the poor play of its
opponent, but added it gave the
team a boost.
"I think we were really surprised
with William & Mary," Jordan said.
Scurry enters drug. rehabilitation -center
PITTSBURGH (AP) Pitcher Rod Scurry,
saying "it's time to get help," left the Pittsburgh
Pirates and entered a drug rehabilitation center
yesterday, becoming the latest on a growing list
of major league players to admit to a drug
problem.
Pirates Manager Chuck Tanner said he "felt
sorry" for the 28-year-old Scurry and told report
ers that the left-handed reliever has the support
of his teammates.
Harding "Pete" Peterson, the Pirates' exec
utive vice president, said he hopes Scurry will be
able to pitch again "in five weeks."
Scurry, whose performance slumped badly in
1983, was placed on the inactive list Saturday and
the Pirates immediately recalled rookie left
hander Chris Green from their Class AAA Hawaii
farm club to replace him.
Scurry, 26, becomes the first Pirate in recent
that were heading out of bounds or bumbling
the ones it should have received.
Tait said much of the credit for making
Rutgers-Newark look bad has to be given to
the sharp play of his Lions.
"We were able to give them a lot of
problems with their offense by serving
well," he said. "We served our areas prop
erly and I thought we served sharply to
night, and that kept them out of doing
anything other than a basic offense."
Tait said he knew Rutgers-Newark would
want to go to its number one ball player
outside hitter Carl Pierre for most of its
offense, and Penn State did well for the most
part to stifle those plans.
"We knew they wanted to go to Pierre,"
Lady Lion Marsha Florio (31) attempts to scoop up the ball during Saturday's game with No. 7 William & Mary at Lady
Lion Field. The No. 3 women's lacrosse team walloped the Lady Indians 23.3.
"But is was an advantage because it
gave us more confidence."
The Lady Lions added ten more
goals in the second half to the Lady
Indians'. two. Junior Doreen Schlat
er contributed her first varsity goal
at the 44:17 mark of the half. '
Marsha Florio led the Lady Lions
with 10 goals and four assists, fol

two assists. Williams and Beth
Thompson both had three goals with
three and two assists, respectively.
seasons to admit a drug problem, which he said
he has had "for some time."
In a statement issued by the Pirates, Scurry
said the dependence on the undisclosed drug has
had "a harmful effect on my life and my perfor
mance on the baseball field."
"With the help of my family, my team and the
Pirates, I have recognized my problem and
realize that it's time to get help. I will enter the
drug program to get help and free myself of this
dependency. I hope to return to a normal lifestyle
in the near future," he said.
Pirates' spokesman Greg Johnson declined to
specify the nature or length of Scurry's problem.
He declined to identify the facility where Scurry
will be treated, saying the team wants to guar
antee his privacy.
Peterson said he supported Scurry's decision to
seek help.
Rattray said she also expected
William & Mary to be much tougher
than it was on Saturday.
"I was disappointed with William
& Mary." Rattray said. "They have
quite a few U.S. players and they
just did not come through.
"We would have liked a tougher
game. They played us man to man
which is fine, but all it did was build
our confidence." she added. "We
would have liked them (William &
Mary) to have gone to the zone
he said, "so our serves were designed to
keep them from doing that with anything
other than high outside sets."
Another aspect of the Lions' game that
Tait saw as particularly sharp was its
ability to turn many awkward transitions
into points.
But perhaps the most important light that consistency," Tait said, "and No. 2, show

because Delaware will go to a
zone."
,The Lady Lions will look to raise
their record to 5-0 tomorrow when
they travel to Delaware. The Lady
Blue Hens are the defending nation
al champions, but Penn State is
gaining momentum after yester
day's convincing win.
"We never stand still," Rattray
said. "We always have a lot to work
on and Delaware is the national
champs."
Scurry originally planned to talk to reporters
yesterday in Los Angeles before leaving for the
drug clinic, but later decided to cancel the news
conference.
Four former Kansas City Royals' players
Jerry Martin, Willie Wilson, Vida Blue and Willie
Aikens served jail terms or are still in jail for
attempting to purchase cocaine.
Among the major leaguers who have been
through drug rehabilitation programs are Tim
Raines, Ken Landreaux, Darrell Porter and
Steve Howe. Second baseman Juan Bonilla, a
starter last season, was recently released by the
San Diego Padres after disclosing he has used
both marijuana and cocaine.
Howe, of the Los Angeles Dodgers, was sus
pended for the 1984 season for repeated drug
problems.
So much did Tait want to avoid any sort of
late-match faltering that even after his
team had crushed Rutgers-Newark the first
two games, the coach stuck with his same
starting six in game three.
"I wanted to reemphasize the point to the
team that No. 1, we needed to maintain
