WPSU-FM listeners donate
$4,800 during fund drive
By GREGG BORTZ
Collegian Staff Writer
WPSU-FM’s annual on-the-air
fund-raiser has brought in more sup
port and donations than ever before,
the program director of the student
run radio station said.
Pat Donovan said the fund-raiser
was “a great success,” drawing
about $4,800 in donations from listen
ers from Nov. 4 until this past Mon
day.
“There was a very great outpour
ing of support for us, both from the
University community and the
Centre Region,” he said.
He said more people an esti
mated 1,000 contributed this year
than in the past few years.
“A thousand people may not seem
like a lot here,” he said, “but people
who did contribute gave a lot.”
Jeff Daley, assistant station man
ager, said he was pleased with the
student response.
“The student support was really
strong,” Daley said. “It’s really grat
ifying to see students respond to our
station like that.”
Daley said every regular show re-

ceived donations and the response
was better this year than in the past.
During the fund-raiser, disc jock
eys asked for pledges and offered
incentives such as record giveaways.
People who pledged more than $2O
were entered in a drawing for a
compact disc player, which will be
held in December after all qualifying
donations have been collected, Dono
van said.
Donovan said the fund-raiser is the
best way to rate the station’s popular
ity.
“If there was any question about
our listenership, the success of this
fund-raiser dispelled it,” he said.
Donovan said the money raised
goes toward the station’s unrestricted
funds, which are used for buying new
records, syndicated material and
new equipment. He said the money
supplements funds provided by Asso
ciated Student Activities.
“We receive about 70 percent of
what we really need from (ASA),” he
said, "but without the fund-raiser, the
station would basically fall apart.”
Daley said the station hopes to
collect all donations by the end of this
semester.

State College gets lesson
on schoolbook censorship
By KERRY GILDEA
Collegian Staff Writer
The problem with censoring school
books is that books might be kept
from all students even though they
may only offend a distinct minority, a
professor of education at Indiana
University said yesterday.
Edward B. Jenkinson, also director
of the English Curriculum Study Cen
ter at Indiana and author or editor of
more than 20 books on schoolbook
censorship, spoke with teachers, ad
ministrators and State College Area
School Board members during a
workshop on “The Schoolbook Pro
test Movement: Developing Policies
and Procedures.”
The workshop dealt with guidelines
aimed at developing policies needed
for school systems facing censorship
problems.
Jenkinson said one problem con
tributing to schoolbook protests is
that some school systems and teach
ers are afraid to deal with controver
sial issues.
Schools must have policies for re
viewing library materials they
must be able to explain why materi

als should be used and must have
procedures for handling complaints
to protect themselves from
censorship protests, he said.
“Another one of our biggest prob
lems in dealing with censorship is
that many people attempt to remove
books without even having read them
and these have been removed on
the basis of one complaint,” Jenkin
son added.
Along with schools, books should be
reviewed by educational review
boards before being used as text
material.
Books on the top 10 list for censor
ing include The Grapes of Wrath, The
Scarlet Letter and Go Ask Alice.
When he started studying
censorship in the early 19705, Jenkin
son said, about 100 censorship cases
were reported in newspapers but few
reached the court. In 1980,900 cases a
year were reported. If schoolbook
censorship continues it could have a
chilling effect on learning, Jenkinson
said.
He added that two of the strongest
organizations in the censorship
movement are the Eagle Forum and
the Moral Majority.

History serves as a lesson for top-ranked Lions
By MARK ASHENFELTER
Collegian Sports Writer
“Those who cannot remember the
past are condemned to repeat it.”
—George Santayana, poet and philo
sopher
And the past could play a large role
in the outcome of tomorrow evening’s
game when the football team faces
Pittsburgh at 7:45 tomorrow night at
Pitt Stadium.
Foge Fazio’s 5-4-1 Panthers will
turn the pages of time back to 1981 for
their history lesson.
That year an 8-2 Penn State squad
visited the 10-0 and top-ranked Panth
ers. The Lions quickly fell behind 14-0
and it appeared that Pitt would take
its No. 1 position into a Sugar Bowl
showdown against Georgia.
The Lions, however, scored the
next 48 points and left a packed
stadium in stunned silence.
. Pitt eventually went on to defeat
the Bulldogs 24-20 to end with an 11-1
record and a No. 4 ranking. The Lions
went on to topple USC 26-10 in the
Fiesta Bowl to close the season with a
10-2 mark, which was good enough to
earn them the No. 3 spot in the Asso
ciated Press poll.
The Panthers hope to return the
favor tomorrow night for the 10-0 and
top-ranked Lions, but Head Coach
Joe Paterno thinks his team has
history on its side.
Paterno needs only to turn the
history book back one page to give his
club all the incentive it should need
tomorrow night.
The Lions, fresh off last week’s 36-6
win over Notre Dame, are expected
to accept a berth in the Orange Bowl
before the game, but Paterno said the
distractions will not help his players
forget last year’s game.
The 31-11 Panther victory finished a
devastating two-game collapse that
began with a 44-7 loss to Notre Dame.
The victory brought Pitt’s record to 3-
7-1 and the Lions slipped to 6-5, their
worst record since Paterno’s initial
campaign in 1966.
After the game, Paterno uncharac
teristically lashed out at his team
saying “they played like a bunch of
Pitt seeks strong finish
to frustrating season
By CHRIS LINDSLEY
Collegian Sports Writer
Last season Pitt won only three
games, but it saved its best perfor
mance for last, a 31-11 pounding of
Penn State at Beaver Stadium.
And this year the Panthers have
won only five games going into
tomorrow night’s matchup with
the top-ranked Lions at Pitt Stadi
um, but for them, this is their bowl
game, their chance to show a
national ESPN viewing audience
what they’re made of.
All of which may sound a little
too much like last year’s Pitt team
for the Lions’ taste.
This intrastate rivalry, dating
back to 1893, has always held a
special significance to the players
involved, and records going in
have had little bearing on the final
result.
Even still, Pitt quarterback
John Congemi, who has thrown six
touchdown passes aginst the Lions
over the last two years, said the
Papthers are going to have their
hands full with the 1985 Penn State
squad this time around.
“Not even our own people are
giving us a chance. So if that tells
you anything . . ~” Congemi said.
“They deserve to be where they
are. They’re No. 1 ranked, and
we’re a 5-4-1 team.”
But they’re a 5-4-1 team with a
potentially explosive offense. On
the season, Congemi has com
pleted 113 of 223 passes for 1302
yards and six touchdowns, while
tailback Charles Gladman has
picked up 1004 yards on 177 car
ries, an average of 5.7 yards every
time he touches the ball.
In addition, leading receiver
Chuck Scales has hauled in 32
passes for 424 yards and four
touchdowns, giving the Panthers a
legitimate deep threat.
And although the Lion defense
has anchored the team all year,
Congemi said if the offense hangs
on to the ball, Pitt will be a threat
to Penn State’s unblemished re
cord.
“If our offense plays error-free
football, we’re going to stay in the
game,” Congemi said. “And if not,
it’s going to be a struggle.”
Defensively, the Panthers also
come in with good statistics, as
they are giving up just 91.3 yards
per game against the run, fourth
best in the nation.
Despite the statistics, however,
Pitt has had problems winning.
But middle guard Dennis Atiyeh
NEIGH
babies.” He also blamed himself,
saying he eased up on the team dur
ing the final weeks of practice.
The setback provided a learning
experience for his club and Paterno
does not expect the club to forget
those lessons tomorrow night.
“In ’Bl we were an awfully good
said even if the Panthers had not
won a game before taking on the
Lions, it would still be a hard
fought contest.
“This game, it doesn’t matter
about records,” Atiyeh said. “It’s
a great rivalry, and we’re going to
get cranked up whether we’ve won
a game or whether they’re unde
feated. We’ll see what happens on
Saturday.
“You can talk about last year, or
when they beat us when we were
going for a national championship,
and that’s all just talk. That’s
something we don’t want to talk
about. We’re just going to go out
and see what happens on Satur
day.”
As was the case last year, the
Panthers have the chance to take
out some of their season-long frus
tration on Penn State, and Pitt
Head Coach Foge Fazio said the
Lions’ 10-0 record coming in just
makes the annual battle that much
more meaningful for his squad.
“There’s not many teams that
have the opportunity to play the
No. 1 team in the country,” Fazio
said. “Penn State’s the best team
in the country, they’re undefeated,
and when it’s your rival and it’s
the last game of the year, it makes
it more interesting.”
For Fazio, the Panthers’ season
has already been interesting
enough.
Not only has his squad been
hampered by injuries, but two of
his tailbacks left the team in mid
season. And probably the most
frustrating thing about the Panth
ers’ play has been their kicking
game, or lack of it, as Pat Vian
court and Mark Brasco have com
bined to make just five of 16 field
goal attempts. That’s the same
number of three-pointers Penn
State’s Massimo Manca converted
against Notre Dame alone.
And while both teams have al
ready finished a 10-game season,
they are now preparing for the one
game that is somehow different
from all others, one that Fazio,
who played in two Penn State-Pitt
games in 1958 and ’59, said will
leave an impression on all partici
pants for a long time to come.
“A game like this you’re going
to remember for the rest of your
life,” Fazio said. “You’re going to
remember how well you did, and
you’re going to remember the
outcome. So a game of this magni
tude the players better be fired up
for, and they better realize that
this could mean a lot to them.”

Home field advantage key for
By CAROL D. RATH
Collegian Sports Writer
As Head Soccer Coach Walter Bahr has said
throughout the season, the away team has to
approach a game as if it is already one goal
behind.
When the No. 18 Lions battle the No. 11 Temple
Owls at 1 p.m. tomorrow at Jeffrey Field in the
second round of the sudden-death elimination,
Mid-Atlantic Regional finals, Bahr will be hoping
that the same holds true for the opposition.
The previous confrontation between the two
teams, Nov. 1 in Philadelphia, resulted in a double
overtime l-'l deadlock. Penn State was the only
team to mar the Owls perfect record of 14-0-1.
Penn State (14-5-1) and Temple received first
round byes since they were the only teams in the
region selected for playoff competition.
The Lions’ home advantage may play a crucial
role for the team, if Bahr’s thinking holds true.
The Lions are 8-4 in NCAA playoff competition,
with 7-3 of that at Jeffrey Field as opposed to 3-9 in
playoff competition on the road.
Judging from practice this week, the confronta
tion will be different this time between the two
rivals, since the Lions are hungry for the win
against the Owls, forward Jay Ruby said.
“I think that there are a lot of teams in the
tournament who are of equal ability. A few years
back there were a few outstanding teams,” Bahr
said. “But I think this year that there are 20 teams
who could win that. I don’t think there’s a clear-cut
favorite.”
Bahr feels that in this particular game, the
Lions’ home-field advantage may be the key to a
Penn State victory, as well as the key to further
advancement.
If the Lions come away the victors from Satur
day’s contest, they will be slotted to challenge the
winners of the Great Lakes region final between
Indiana and Evansville.
“The selection of home fields may have as much
as anything to do with who’s going to win, because
they’re all assigned by the NCAA based on the
crowd,” Bahr said. “That’s why it’s so important
that we get a good crowd out there Saturday. If we
get a good crowd and win, it’s a possiblity that we
can get the next game here and that’s a big
factor.”
Assistant Coach Marco Bulatovic added Temple
may be tough tomorrow, but Penn State will be
twice as tough.
“It’s been good for us in that fact that we know a
little bit about them and they know a little bit
about us, which is pretty even,” Bulatovic said.
“But the deciding factor for us is that it will be real
nice to play on our home field. That’s going to be
the difference in the game.”
Bulatovic added that the pressure of this do-or
die game isn’t new to the team, since Penn State
usually is a playoff Contender.
“A lot of these guys have been in this same
situation two or three times previously and I think
they’re ready for the fact of this do-or-die situation
and will be ready to handle that,” Bulatovic said.
"I think a lot of guys really want it this year
beacause we’ve been unfortunate in the past, in
the first round of the NCAA playoff.”
Bulatovic added that he thinks the year has been
positive and the team has a great attitude going
into the game.
Bahr said that the pressure shouldn’t really

Forward Thomas Grave, right, kicks the ball past a University of Connecticut player earlier this year in the

second round of the Mid-Atlantic Regional finals.
affect his players since making the playoffs is-the
goal they have been working for all season.
Defender Bob Christina said that the one thing
the team has done off and on all season that they
cannot afford to do tomorrow is to let the opposi
tion score first.
In games against Long Island, Hartwick and
Duke, the Lions let the other team score first,
which led to their defeat.
“We cannot afford to do what we’ve done all
season and let the other team score first on us,”
Christina said. “In order for us to win, the defense
has to establish itself as a hard-hitting unit on the
outset, like we did against Connecticut (the Lions
upset UConn 2-1).”
Christina said the key to team defense lies with
the defenders establishing the backbone. He added
that if the defenders don’t control the ball in their
zone, there isn’t a chance for the forwards to get
possession.
an intense rivalry has grown. Over
the years the game has meant not
only the bragging rights but it has
also helped the winner gain the in
state recruiting edge for the season.
Recently, however, both teams
have broadened their recruiting hori
zions and have been signing people

from across the country. People sus
pected that the rivalry was dying, but
Paterno insisted that that was not the
case.
“I don’t think there’s any question
(the rivalry’s) there,” he said. “Even
the kids from (New) Jersey and Ohio
know each other. There’s a lot of
Jersey kids that played against our
Jersey kids, a lot of Pennsylvania
kids that played against each other
and a lot of the Ohio kids played
against each other. I think it’s a big
game.
“I know we’ve got some other inter
sectional games now that are getting
to be big games on our schedule, but
when you come down to it the Pitt
game is a big game for us. That is
why we were so disappointed with the
way we played last year.”
This year, however, the Lions have
been playing better and Paterno says
that their daily practice sessions
have led to this continual im
provement. Senior tight end Dean
DiMidio agrees with his coach’s as
sessment.
“Practice for us this year has been
the same every week,” DiMidio said.
“We’re going real hard and he didn’t
want to let up at all this year.
“He thought that that’s what hap
pened to us last year he let up in
practice and he got us too soft. Every
one is committed to (working hard)
they know that’s what we have to
do.”
Despite Pitt’s record, Paterno is
very concerned about the Panthers’
defense. The unit has given up just
91.3 yards rushing per game and is
ranked fourth in the nation against
the run.
Offensively the Panthers are led by
quarterback John Congemi (113 of 223
for 1,302 yards) and Charles Glad
man, who has rushed for 1,004 yards.
Paterno said they will provide a
tough test for the Lion defense.
“He’s a good competitior, he’s ris
en to the occasion against us,” he said
of Congemi. “He has a good arm. If
you let him in the groove he can be as
tough as anybody. Gladman is right
up there with any running back we’ve
faced this year.”

Christina said that the Lions aren’t changing
their playing style but they are planning on giving
it a slight “twist.”
Penn State usually sticks to a four forwards,
three midfielders, and three defenders type of
setup. But for the playoff game, it may switch to a
two-four-four alignment.
The Lions will be looking for production from
their leading scorers, forwards Thomas Greve (10
goals, 7 assists) and Niall Harrison (7 goals, 6
assists), and midfielders Kevin Jennings (8 goals,
2 assists) and Dave Dabora (7 goals, 4 assists).
In goal for Penn State will be Bert Eckelmeyer,
who has allowed only 18 goals in 16 games.
The Owls will be relying on midfielder Peter
Dicce (10 goals, 4 assists), forward Franklin
Gbinije (8 goals, 7 assists) and midfielder Steffan
Hausner (5 goals, 5 assists).
Dale Caya, with a goals-against average of 0.63,
will defend the cage for the Owls.
