of the University, an effort to de
crease the size of courses (offered).”
However, he said, there are others
who say a larger list of courses is
better for students. 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.

Collegian wins excellence awards
By ALAN J. 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

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

oline you’ve been using.
You probably won’t notice
any difference at your ser

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

General Motors sup

But to avoid operating

use gasoline containing

methanol, be sure it
contains cosolvents (to
prevent separation of
the alcohol from the
gasoline) and corrosion

that its future vehicles can
