Vanin, Assistant Dean of Academic Assistance Programs said, "We salute your time, talent, competence and sheer sweat." The purpose of the awards, according to Vanin, is to honor students within the program who have distinguished themselves academically or have met goals to graduate this semester. The program can serve all University students, especially those with special needs. Several students and alumnae spoke during the reception, held at Sheraton Penn State, 240 S. Pugh St., on their University experiences and about their involvement with k 714 • 1". -„„jiirV academic banquet Academic Assistance Programs. Stephanie Smith,(senior-hotel and restaurant management), said she would not be graduating if it had not been for the program. "It's a valuable program, especially to freshmen at first when they are coming from home." she said. Dr. Tina Jones Brown, a 1972 microbiology graduate, challenged all the honored students to continue with their, academic excellence. David Whiteman, a business administration alumni and Air Force veteran, said he entered the University in the Developmental Year Program. "The saying 'lf you don't use it you lose it' holds true. When you're in the service for four years, you don't worry about English and math. The program let me take basic, easy classes to catch up." Whiteman said. University President Bryce Jordan said, "In my 10 months here I have found a lot to be proud of but nothing delights me more than the programs we honor here tonight. You (honorees) seized the opportunity and succeeded for yourselves." State Rep. Dwight Evans, Philadelphia County, encouraged graduating students to stay in Pennsylvania and help the people in Harrisburg. ..., . :s 4. 1, , L - 7/,,hot, *V ~4,,,•, , . 4. , lA.

BELL Collegian Staff Writer A children's film starring Mario Thomas, Alan Alda, Rosey Grier and a teem:age Michael Jackson has beeh successful in counteracting sex-role stereotypes, a profes sor of sociology at the Women's Studies Program Center said last night. Michael Johnson cited "Free To Be . . . You And Me," made in 1972, as an excellent rebuttal to the sexist children's literature that dominates juvenile reading material. The film features children of all races in situations that destroy sex-role stereotypes and myths about what each sex can and should do. In "Free To Be . . . You And Me" children learn that boys can play with dolls and that girls don't have to get married if they don't want to. Rosey Grier presents the idea that it's OK for boys to cry. "It's an important message for boys to learn from a pro football player that it's all right to show emotion," Johnson said. Reagan tells Chernenko the U.S. is ready for arms talks By The Associated Press WASHINGTON President Rea gan yesterday congratulated Soviet leader Konstantin Chernenko on his election to the presidency and as sured him the United States remains prepared for talks "aimed at reduc ing the risks of war and the levels of armaments." In a two-paragraph letter, de scribed by U.S. officials as a courte sy, Reagan told Chernenko, "We must ensure that our differences, however large, are resolved without the use of force." "As yOu assume your new duties, I "There's nothing super-feminist about this film," John son said. "It just doesn't force kids into stereotypes." Johnson read the audience several children's books from the same time period as the film to show the strength of sex-role stereotypes. In "What Boys Can Be," males are shown as firemen, cowboys and doctors. The culmination of male hopes is expressed in the final pages, where the boy in the story dreams of being either an astronaut or president of the United States. In the corresponding "What Girls Can Be," females can aspire to become secretaries, models or dress designers. The ultimate desire for the female is not to explore space but to become a briile, housewife and finally a mother. In another book children were told that, "Boys fix things. Girls need things fixed. 'Boys build homes. Girls keep homes." "You can see how a steady diet of this (sexist) literature can affect kids," Johnson said. He also presented statistics on ratios of the sexes of main characters in children's stories. "Even after 1972, stories about boys outnumbered stories about girls by a ratio of seven to two," he said. want to assure you that the United States remains ready to pursue a constructive dialogue aimed at re ducing the risks of war and the levels of armaments, resolving regional conflicts- peacefully and promoting trust and confidence which will en able the people of our two countries, and of the world, to live freer and more prosperous lives," Reagan said. Chernenko, vvho earlier had been named secretary general of the Sovi et Communist Party the most powerful leadership post in the Krem lin was elected chairman of the Presidium of the Supfeme Soviet, or president, on April 11. With the added title of chairman of the Defense Coun cil, Chernenko now holds the top three Soviet leadership posts and a stature equal to that of his two prede cessors. • Reagan's letter contained no new peace proposals, but one U.S. official, speaking with the understanding he would not be named, said Reagan's remarks were consistent with the administration's effort to restrain its anti-Soviet rhetoric in hopes of im proved relations with Moscow under the new Soviet leadership. 4 4. 4444 zt ,ot o x, ,41 0,4 pol 1 171 4: 1 4 : 4 ; t.e ;74,, ::;.;,,t7,„qi .3". v 4 • ' 4I - 4 '"r) e $ ;1 % 1 %4 'l7 4 0 4 t• ; t, 1 '{f r 4: • „ .* • "4 • yam.

York rally that gave the Wanders a 5-3 victory over the Washington Capi tals last night, catapulting the four-time NHL champions into the Stanley Cup semifinals for the sixth straight year. The Islanders, who won the Pat rick Division finals in five games, will meet the winner of the Que bec-Montreal series, which the Canadiens lead 3-2. Flatley, who starred for Team Canada at the Winter Olympics before joining the Islanders on Feb. 29, keyed New York's four goal second period. •That was enough for the champions who are seeking to become the only team other than the 1956-60 Ca , nadiens to win five straight Stan ley Cups to record their 100th playoff victory. Washington dominated the first period, 'taking a 2-0 lead on goals by Doug Jarvis and Dave Chris tian. But the Islanders turned things around with a strong second period in which their specialty teams excelled. Bryan Trottier scored just 78 Holmes a 'boxing exec' LOS ANGELES (AP) Larry Holmes, describing himself as. a "boxing executive," said yester day that he expects to collect an easy $8 million in his June title match against South Africa's Ger rie Coetzee. Coetzee, matching bravado with Holmes at a press conference to drum up interest in their June 8 heavyweight title bout in Las Ve gas, Nev., countered by saying, "Larry Holmes reminds me of my grandfather who promised to give me a hiding ( whipping) that he never did." Holmes, who held the World Boxing Council heavyweight crown before starting up the new International Boxing Federation, will put his IBF title on the line in the bout at Caesars Palace. Coetzee is the World Boxing Association champion, but the WBA has threatened to strip him of the title if he goes through with the fight against because Holmes is not ranked by the group. Holmes, who has won all 45 of his pro fights, 32 by knockout, said he fully expects to add Coetzee to his list of victims. "I'm just thinking about knock- ady taxers face Maryland in battle of unbeatens By PATTI SILVESTRO Collegian Sports Writer The women's lacrosse team and Maryland have the same goal in mind today, but only one of them can achieve it. After seven straight wins, the No. 1 Lady Lions and No. 2 Lady Terrapins both want to preserve their untarnished records.

Just 1:05 later, Anders Kallur put New York ahead to stay with a superb short handed effort. Canadians 4 Nordiques 0 QUEBEC (AP) Mario Tremb lay, Steve Shutt and Mats Naslund scored third-period goals in a 2:48 span to blow_ open a 1-0 game and lift the Montreal Canadiens to a 4-0 victory over the Quebec Nordiques and within one game 9f winning the NHL Adams Division final. Pierre Mondou scored midway • through the second for the Ca nadiens, who lead the best-of-sev en series 3-2. Tremblay's goal was his fifth goal of the playoffs. Goalie Steve Penney made a splendid stop on Michel Goulet, still without a goal in the series, who broke in alone late in the second period. Peter Stastny had an apparent first-period goal disallowed when referee Ron Hoggarth ruled he had directed the puck into the net with his skate. ing him out," Holmes said. "I became a successful businessman with only a seventh-grade educa tion, but don't take that lightly because I've got a PhD when' it comes to this. I'm a boxing exec utive." Holmes said he earlier had con sidered the fact that Coetzee, who is white, is from South Africa, with its Apartheid policies of racial segregation. "But I went along with this fight because he is a human being," Holmes said. "I am the champion and I don't think I should duck him. Besides, I think it'll be get easy payday and I should go get it." Coetzee, addressing Apartheid, said: "I am not an agent of the South African government . . . Winning this world title would make a lot more black friends for me all over the world and white friends . . . I don't judge a person by his color." Holmes, on the same subject, said to Coetzee: "The problem is, they're going to do whatever they want to do without you, regardless of what you say. And this is why I have to whip you." Penn State ended the first half of its season with a 16-4 victory over Rutgers last Saturday. The Lady Lions started off slower than usual against the Lady Scarlet Knights, but Head Coach Gilliam Rattray hopes her team gets off to better start today. "We'll play a fast, open game, taking Maryland man-to-man," Rattray said. "The defense is very strong man to man, but the team has the ability to go to the zone if necessary." Rattray expects Maryland to be very strong with nine out of 12 Pirates break six-game losing streak By ALAN ROBINSON AP Sports Writer PITTSBURGH The Pittsburgh Pirates haven't gotten much hitting or defense so far this season, but they had plenty of both yesterday in ending a six-game losing streak. The Pirates pounded out 11 hits, including Tony Pena's second home run in as many days, and Marvell Wynne's sixth-inning circus catch saved a pair of runs in a 6-3 victory over the Philadel phia Phillies. The Pirates had scored only two runs combined in their previous two games. "It was nice to look up there at the scoreboard and see we got some points in a hurry," Manager Chuck Tanner said after the Pirates jumped on loser Jerry Koosman, 1-2, for three-first inning runs. Bill Madlock, back in the lineup after suffering a shoulder injury, rapped a pair of RBI singles while Pena had a single to go with his third homer starters back this season. The Lady Terps (7-0-1) opened their season with an 8-8 tie at Delaware and pulled off a 9-7 upset over Temple. The Terps also managed to win close games with Virginia (5-4), James Madison in overtime (7-6) and William & Mary (6-5). "They're doing what it takes to win, and from their scores, they don't let down," Rattray said. "But that makes us a little bit sharper." The Lady Lions also beat two top notched teams in the first half of their season. Penn State held off previously top-ranked Temple 6-5 in of the season. "I don't want to talk about homers. I'm a line drive hitter. The ball was there and I was able tO hit it out," said Pena, who didn't hit his third homer last season until July 15. Pena's homer followed the second of Jason Thompson's three singles for the game and staked winning pitcher John Candelaria to a 5-3 lead in the third inning. Candelaria, 2-1, was lifted in the sixth after Glenn Wilson singled and Bo Diaz drew a one-out walk. Ivan DeJesus then greeted reliever Don Robinson with a long drive to left-center field on which center fielder Wynne made a diving, sliding grab, then held the runners with a strong throw to the infield. Pinch-hitter Joe Lefebvre singled to load the bases, but Robinson got Juan Samuel to ground into a force play to get out of the jam. "As far as I'm concerned that was the game," Phillies Manager Paul Ownes said of Wynne's catch. "That changed the whole ball game the last minutes of play, and cruised by defending national champion Delaware 19-7. Bith victories came on the road. The past meetings between Penn State and Maryland have been noth ing but competitive. The Lady Terps have met and lost to the Lady Lions twice in national championship games, but the Terps wiped the Lady Lions out of national contention in 1981 as Maryland went on to win the national title. Since the competition between these two teams has been fierce in the past, one cannot predict the result of today's game. Rattray said she isn't concerned about past re cords, but rather is thinking ahead. "We have to look at what we've done so far this season —that's our starting point," Rattray said. "I think sometimes you think too much about the opposition when you have to think about your own team." Second home Marsha Florio said the offense has been working against the zone in practices to prepare for the Lady Terps. "We're are going into this gathe with a positive attitude," Florio said. "We know we have what it takes to win." From a defensive standpoint, Barb Jordan said it's important for the defense to be as tough as it was in the Delaware game. "We know this game is the next step toward out goal," Jordan said. "So it's easy to get up for it." Rattray said even though the Lady Lions stand 7-0 on the season, Penn State is prepared for a tough match today. "We can't afford a slow start," Rattray said. "It obviously will be a very hard fought game." Captain Betsy Williams said she feels confident about today's game because the entire team has been working very hard in practice. Lady Lions continue to roll By RICK STOUCH Collegian Sports Writer The women's lacrosse team has been steamrolling over many highly-ranked opponents all sea son to an undefeated slate and a national No. 1 ranking. And other formidable enemies loom on the immediate horizon in the form of No. 2 Maryland today and No. 6 Massachusetts on Saturday. So the fact that the Lady Lions (7-0) merely cruised rather than raced past the campaign's mid way point with a 16-4 crowning of the unranked Lady Scarlet Knights of Rutgers (3-5) Saturday at Lady Lion Field did not bother Penn State Head Coach Gillian Rattray. "It's tough to get up for a game like this one," Rattray said. "You try the best you can but we had such a super game against (No. 3) Delaware and are sort of looking ahead to (No. 2) Maryland and (No. 6) UMass and we said 'Let's enjoy this game, let's set the pace' but it's tough. We did come out slowly today." Rattray's phrase "come out slowly" referred to the Lady Li ons' sluggish passing in the begin ning of the first half. That small criticism was equal to the one she made of the defense. She said the Lady Lions had stood still near the end of the game and let the Lady Scarlet Knights bring the ball to them rather than going out to meet the Rutgers' offense. Rattray was not concerned over either situation, but rather "nit picking" virtually the only grip ing she says she can do about a team she says has been playing consistently well all season. The Daily Collegian Thursday, April 19, 1984 around. If he doesn't catch it, it's two runs for sure." "When the ball was hit, I didn't think he had a chance for it," Tanner said. "But after he made the catch, I just said, 'There's another great catch by Marvell.' He makes so many of them."-- Wynne started the Pirates' three-run Brit by drawing a walk before Lee Lacy doubled, Mad lock and Thompson followed with RBI singles and Amos Otis scored Madlock with a sacrifice fly. The Phillies scored on Mike Schmidt's RBI single in the first, Diaz's run-scoring double in the second and Garry Maddox's first homer of the season, a solo shot in the fourth. Robinson scattered two hits over the final 3 1-3 innings to earn his second save as the Pirates won for the first time since April 8. The crowd of 2,752, held down by 45-degree temperatures and the threat of rain, was one of the five smallest since Three Rivers Stadium opened in 1970. —see baseball roundup, Page 12 Team captain and right attack wing Betsy Williams after a five-goal, two-assist performance was the spokesman after the Rutgers game. Her immediate and only comment about her own performance was that "five goals doesn't necessarily mean you played well." A later comment concerning the team was a congradulation to the Lacrosse Magazine pollsters for picking the correct team to be No. 1. "I think they're (the pollsters) right," Williams said. "I think so far we're the strongest team out. We're really happy with how ev erything is going. Practices have gone really well and I think as long as everyone can stay up and stay enthusiastic and not slack off in practice that we'll continue to do really well." Meanwhile, Rattray is not only pleased that her team is beating its foes of this year so easily, but also with how this season's Lady Lions compare with Penn State teams of the past at this point in the campaign. "I think we've got more unity between defense and offense than usual by this time," Rattray said. "It's a total team effort. We still have some things to work on, but I think we're further ahead by this point than we have been for a long time." Rattray is hoping the Lady Li ons end up on the final plateau of a national championship that they last reached in 1978, 1979 and 1980. But right now she's willing to settle for what they're doing now: going at high speeds to the Nation al Collegiate Athletic Association championships on the pole position
