The debate about having a long or short course list has gone on for some time, Covert said. Some students said that since Penn State has a diverse student body, the number of courses offered should be large and include diverse interests. Others said they did not come to Penn State to be generally educated, but to be educated in their major. Another topic was the implementa tion of intensive writing courses those courses that would require ac tive writing in the classroom into the University’s new general educa tion system. Laurie Dieffenbach, executive vice president of the Academic Assembly and member of the student task force on general education, said a subcom mittee of the Faculty Senate is rec ommending the addition of writing intensive courses to the curricula. She said they will recommend such a course in order a student to graduate. Some students said that a writing intensive course may be counter-pro ductive. attention seniors Now available, Mailing labels for 1,000 major companies in U.S.A, for the mailing of your resume.

CRAVER Collegian Staff Writer For the third time in five years The Daily Collegian has received a major national award for excellence among the nation’s college newspapers, the general manager of Collegian Inc. said. Gerry Lynn Hamilton said the Collegian was one of six college news papers to receive the national Pace maker Award from the American Newspaper Publishers Associatio n / Associated Collegiate Press for the 1984-85 school year. The Collegian was also one of 19 regional college newspapers that re ceived an award from the ANA- P/ACP out of 530 newspapers that entered the overall competition. The regional competition consisted of col leges in New England and the Mid- Atlantic states. “We strive to do the best we can do and I think it shows,” Hamilton said. “This award recognizes that we have a good program and that we are successful at carrying out our dual mission.” The mission of Collegian Inc. is to publish a newspaper for Penn State J STUDENT UNION BOARD * * Coffeehouse Program presents £ Jr Roogs ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★*********** HOW LESS LEAD IN GASOLINE WILL AFFECT YOUR CAR USE OF ALCOHOL-GASOLINE BLENDS REQUIRES YOUR CAREFUL SELECTION The Environmental Protection Agency is re ducing the amount of lead allowed in leaded gasoline by more than 90%. General Motors supports this effort to reduce lead in the atmo sphere. But our customers need to know how this action may affect their vehicles. In simple terms, con tinue with the same gas oline you’ve been using. You probably won’t notice any difference at your ser vice station. Just be sure your gasoline meets the requirements below. For post-1974 model cars and light trucks (less than 6,000 lbs.). Continue to use unleaded gasoline only. The new lower-lead limits for leaded gasoline are still too high: lead in gasoline will harm the emission control system. For 1971-74 model cars and light trucks. Use either unleaded or the new lower-lead gaso line. These vehicles were designed to run on either one. For all pre-1971 model cars and trucks. Use the new lower-lead gasolines. These vehicles need leaded gas to lubri cate exhaust valves.

In a pinch, you can even use unleaded gas for normal driving. Tip: Use only enough octane to avoid frequent knocking. An occasional “ping” won’t harm the engine. The new lower-lead gasolines should always be used in: • 1971-78 trucks over 6,000 lbs. • post-1978 trucks over 8,500 lbs, . The effect of alco hol blends. To meet the new regulations, oil re finers will turn to other methods to maintain or increase octane ratings. Some will elect to refine gasoline more intensively. Others may add octane enhancers such as ethanol and methanol (more infor mally known as grain alco hol and wood alcohol). General Motors sup ports the use of such alternative fuels to les sen our nation’s depen dence on imported oil. But to avoid operating and other problems, don’t use gasoline containing more than 10 percent ethanol or 5 percent meth anol. And in the case of methanol, be sure it contains cosolvents (to prevent separation of the alcohol from the gasoline) and corrosion inhibitors. r. OO - 8:00 pm General Motors is taking steps to ensure that its future vehicles can operate problem-free with gasoline containing alco hol. For now, you should know the contents of the fuel going into your gas tank. That’s why we sup port the requirement that gas pumps show the alco hol content of the fuel. Such labels are being used in some states, but they are needed .nation wide. To get the efficiency, driveability and perfor mance we design into your GM vehicles, be sure you use the right fuel.
