Philosopher-historian
to teach new courses
By CHRISTINE KILGORE
Collegian Science Writer
International philosopher, histori
an and author Ivan Illich arrived at
the University yesterday to begin
teaching two special classes focusing
on literacy and the pursuit of a
healthy body.
Rustum Roy, director of the sci
ence, technology and society depart
ment, said Illich is famous for his
critical evaluation of society and has
received a joint Appointment from
the STS and philosophy departments.
Illich's classes, titled "Alphabetic
Technology: Impact on Western Sci
ence and Society" and "Concepts for
Body History —Seminar," will be
held from Aug. 27 through Oct. 9.
Students can register for the courses
this week, Roy said.
The two credit class on alphabetic
technology, STS 497 F, will be held
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4 to
5:15 p.m. and will focus on literacy
and its effects on society.
"He will examine the question, 'ls
literacy a good thing?' and may show
how computers promote narrow
thinking and a narrow mode of ex
pression," Roy said.

University. Illich was born in Vienna
and studied crystallogy, theology,
philosophy and history in Vienna and
Rome.
Illich will teach periodically at the
University for the next five years,
Walker said, adding that "For Penn
State University, this is one of the
,most significant things that has ever
happened. Illich has never com
mitted himself to any other institu
tion for this long."
"He is one the most powerful social
critics in our society today," Walker
said. "He's not cynical . . . he just
allows nothing —ever to be taken
for granted."

Lion quarterback John Shaffer (left) takes a snap during last season's win over Rutgers. Those were more secure times for Shaffer who started all 12 games but now finds himself battling Matt Knizner, last year's back-up, for the position
There's no quarterback controversy for Paterno
By MATT HERB '
Collegian Sports Writer
"I've got it as screwed up as I can,"
Football Coach Joe Paterno said, not refer
ring to Penn State's schedule which has the
team facing Alabama, Notre Dame, and
Boston College on the road, or the frequent
delays in the construction of the new indoor
practice facility, or even the soggy hot dogs
at Beaver Stadium.
Where Paterno really screwed up was in
allowing himself to be cornered on the issue
of Penn State's annual quarterback contro
versy at his Media Day press conference
Aug. 14. Or, as it is officially known, the
Quarterback Controversy.
For two preseasons now, John Shaffer and
Matt Knizner have been fighting for a start
ing position on a team that has had just one
season-long, for-better-or-for-worse quar
terback if Paterno can help it. Meanwhile
outsiders have searched all but the Indoor
Sports Complex dumpster for some evidence
of who's got the upper hand. Sensing the
third-and-long nature of the problem, Pater
no passed.
"I've done absolutely no thinking about the
quarterback situation all summer," he said.
• "Except at alumni affairs, everybody wants
to know who's going to play quarterback."
Booters aim for improvement
By CHRISTINE BORN
Collegian Sports Writer
After an abrupt .end to a 15-6-1
season, the soccer team begins its
1986 campaign on Labor Day
against Navy at 7:15 p.m. at Jef
frey Field. The Lions will be trying
to return to the NCAA playoffs and
better last year's third-round fin
ish. Penn ' State lost 1-0 to
Evansville last December.
Penn State lost four starters to
graduation and is faced with re
placing those key positions. Lost in
the class of 1986 were Larry Miller
(sweeper back), Bob Christina (de
fender), Kevin Jennings (midfield
er) and Dave Dabora (midfielder).
Thomas Greve, a starter at for
ward the past two seasons, is ineli
gible for academic reasons.
The Lions also lost two first-line
substitutes in Torban Ageson and
George Megaloudis to graduation.
While Head Coach Walter Bahr
will be looking to replace those five
in the starting lineup, the other six
positions are basically set. Bahr
has returning starters in Bert Eck
elmeyer (goalkeeper), Niall Harri
son (forward), Paul Moylan
(defender), Steve Potter (mid
field), Troy Snyder (forward) and
David Zartman (midfield). Work
ing with his returning starters,
Bahr said about half of the posi
tions are fairly solid.
"The two central defenders are
fairly well set with Moylan and
Zartman," Bahr said. "At mid
field, we have Potter and Snyder.
None of the positions are set on the
forward line, other than Harri
son's, the one returning forward.
It's also possible that Niall will be
playing a midfield position.
"We lost key people in important
positions and we need to be strong
up the middle. We're fairly safe in
goal, our two central defenders and
our two midfield players, which is
the bulk of our defense, are fairly
well set. Our problem at this point
is finding people who can possibly
score us a goal."
Greve (10 goals), Jennings
(nine) and Dabora (nine) rep
resented three of the team's top
scorers last season.
Assistant coach Barry Gorman
agreed the coaches are a bit con
cerned about finding scorers.
"We have three or four players
capable of scoring goals," Gorman
said, "but if we can create the
chances, then that is half the bat
tle. There is always someone who
comes through and picks up the
slack."
Bahr said he is also concerned
The photographic evidence is equally in
conclusive. With players nearly outnumbered
by writers and photographers, Shaffer and
Knizner flanked Paterno wearing their prac
tice blues and their best preseason smiles,
while the sports paparazzi captured the mo
ment for posterity.
First a standing shot, Knizner left, Shaffer
right. Click. Then, in the interest of fairness,
a kneeling shot with Knizner right, Shaffer
left. Flash those smiles. Snap.
Between all the Brady Bunch snapshots,
and the nonstop happytalk spewed by Pater
no, Shaffer and Knizner, the Lions couldn't
have appeared more pleased with their quar
terback situation if the Media Day reporters
had lost their way to Beaver Stadium.
"I think we've got a great quarterback
situation," Paterno said. "We've got two kids
who are both capable of taking this football
team and winning games with it. That's a
great situation for a coach."
All this in spite of the fact that the Lions are
still looking at the same dilemma they faced
in January after their 25-10 loss to Oklahoma
in the Orange Bowl . . . and during the 1985
season . . . and prior to that season. As of
Aug. 14 no progress had been made towards
resolving the Shaffer-Knizner gridlock, at
least none that anyone was willing to talk
about.

Forward Troy Snyder and Head Coach Walter Bahr of the soccer team leave
Jeffrey Field after a game last year. This season they will attempt to better
their 15.6.1 mark of 1986 without key players like Thomas Greve and Kevin
Jennings, who were lost to academic problems and graduation respectively.
with determining the two outside
fullbacks, one or two midfield play
ers and two or three forwards.
"Early in the season we are
concerned with conditioning," he
said. "And at the same time trying
to get some semblance of a lineup
on the field. We are not close to
getting a set lineup. One day some
one looks good and the next some
one else looks good. We have five
positions we have to fill and then
we have to start working with that
group."
Bahr should get a good idea who
will be starting after a scrimmage
with Brockton on Friday night
Bahr is anxious to see how his
"I don't think either guy is going to jump
out ahead of the other guy," Paterno said.
"I'm just going to have to sit around with the
(assistant) coaches one night, shoot the bull
. . . and try to make a decision that's the best
one we can and realize that we might not be
making the right one."
For Shaffer, that means having to accept
the fact that he could find himself riding the
bench his senior season after taking the team
to the brink of a national championship in
1985. Though he's lost only one game in 55
starts since seventh grade, Shaffer's 1,366
yards passing, 10 . interceptions, and disas
trous Orange Bowl performance have kept
him from becoming an automatic starter.
Which, for Shaffer, isn't neccessarily a disap
pointment.
"At this level, I don't think anybody de
serves anything until you've gone through a
preseason," Shaffer said. "I think you would
be doing somebody a gross injustice if you
say, 'Here, here's your first string position
and you don't have to work hard for it.'
You're not going to get the talent and the skill
out of that person that you really want.
"The way Joe is handling it he feels is the
best way. The competition is going to be big
again and hopefully things will go well for
both of us."

players respond in a game situa
tion against some different oppo
nents.
"Your game is your best teacher.
Everytime you play a game, that
tells you more than half a dozen
practices will."
The scrimmage will prepare the
team for what Bahr said is a "very
competitive and national sched
ule."
Penn State will play teams like
Connecticut, Hartwick, Long Is
land, Temple and Rutgers teams
that have played in the NCAA tour
nament. The Lions will also be
traveling south in October to play
Tampa and South Florida.
Byars may be ready for opener
By RALPH BERNSTEIN
AP Sports Writer
PHILADELPHIA Running back
Keith Byars, the Philadelphia Eagles
No. 1 draft choice who has been re
covering from bone-graft surgery on
his right foot, was given the go-ahead
yesterday for workouts that. could
lead to limited duty in the Eagles
Sept. 7 NFL opener.
"I've, been waiting for this for a
long time," Byars said yesterday.
"Things are looking up."
Eagles trainer Otho Davis said
Byars received permission to prac
tice in pads after an examination in
Columbus, Ga., by Dr. Jack
Hughston, who performed the sur
gery in January. A small piece of
bone from Byars' hip was grafted to
his right foot.
"The doctor was pleased with ev
erything about the foot," Davis said.
McEnroe out of U
By 808 GREENE
AP Tennis Writer
NEW YORK John McEnroe
tamed his temper but not his tennis
yesterday and became a first-round
casualty in the U.S. Open.
"I felt like I was in a reasonably
good frame of mind," McEnroe, play
ing in only his fourth tournament
since a seven-month layoff, said. "I
felt like I gave a pretty good effort
and was trying the best thing that I
could do."
MEI
It wasn't enough as Paul Annacone
beat the ninth-seeded McEnroe 1-6, 6-
1, 6-3, 6-3.
"I just hoped that I would go out
and play well today," Annacone said.
"And if I did, then I'd have a chance.
Fortunately, I got a lot of chances."
`I felt like I gave a
pretty good effort
and was trying the
best thing I could do.'
So McEnroe, who has won the Open
four times, Wimbledon three times
and who was ranked No. 1 until a
year ago, thus became first finalist to
lose in the first round of the next U.S.
Open since Tom Okker of the Nether
lands lost to Britain's Mark Cox in the
first round in 1969. In 1968, Okker lost
to Arthur Ashe in the title match.
Last year, McEnroe fell to Czecho
slovakia's Ivan Lendl in the men's
~,.
As for Knizner, his confidence is high, and
it has not mutated into public cockiness,
despite plenty of justification. A senior with
an extra year of eligability left, Knizner has
been declared "The People's Choice" for
quarterback by one preseason magazine.
Another local writer speculated that Knizn
er's mobility gave him the "extra dimen
sion" that Shaffer lacked and that Penn State
needed to become No. 1.
So on the strength of a 90-yard honor-sal
vaging performance in late relief of Shaffer
in the Orange Bowl, Knizer finds himself the
obvious choice by the fans and the writers. If
Paterno weren't such a tough nut to crack he
would have been named starting quarterback
Jan. 2.
Knizner himself is more cautious when
assessing how he measures up against Shaf
fer.
"The way I'm looking at it, I'm just going
into preseason camp with an open mind and
I'm playing as hard as I can every practice,"
he said. "You can't feel pity for yourself
thinking you're not going to get the job, and
you can't think you have a jump on it. I think
it's a wide open position.
"I commend John. He did a great . . .'
Knizner stops in mid-sentence. "A good job
—John McEnroe
"He said Keith can practice in pads.
He'll work under a controlled situa
tion to condition his body to the game
of football."
Davis said Byars, the former Ohio
State All-American, might be ready
for limited play in the opener against
the Washington Redskins.
"There is no medical reason that he
can't play," he said. "We don't want
to throw him in there. He hasn't taken
a pounding in almost a year. We have
to condition his body to take the
trauma of football."
Eagles Coach Buddy Ryan said he
is not going to rush Byars.
"It's up to him," Ryan said. "We'll
see how he's cutting. He's got to see
bodies fly around. It might be three or
four games before he's ready."
Davis said the 6-4, 230-pound Byars
will wear a shoe with a steel shank in
the sole and run against the first-
singles final. Yesterday, Lendl fol
lowed McEnroe onto the Louis Arm
strong Stadium Court and crushed
Glenn Layendecker 6-3, 6-2, 6-0.
"It doesn't affect me at all," the
top-seeded Lendl said of McEnroe's
shocking defeat. "I mean I have to
play (Robert) Seguso in the second
round.
"Eventually I could have played
McEnroe in the quarters, but it's a
long way there for me and for him.
For him it proved to be too long. I
hope it doesn't prove to be too long for
me."
Argentina's Guillermo Vilas, who
won the tournament in 1977 when it
was played on clay, was ousted by
Paul McNamee of Australia, 7-5, 5-7,
2-6, 6-1, 6-3. Later in the day, David
Pate upset 12th-seeded Thierry Tu
lasne of France, 3-6, 6-3, 6-1, 5-7, 6-4
and Kathy Rinaldi, the women's No.
10 seed, fell to Michelle Torres 6-1, 6-
4.
Defending women's champion
Hana Mandlikova of Czechoslovakia
and top-seeded Martina Navratilova
easily moved into the second round.
Mandlikova, the fourth seed, cruised
past Marie-Christine Calleja of
France, 6-2, 6-2 and Navratilova de
feated Czechoslovak Andrea Holiko
va 6-4, 6-2.
Navratilova, seeking her third U.S.
Open crown in four years, simply
overwhelmed her young opponent,
breaking her service in the third
game of both sets and in the seventh
game of the second. The world's
No. 1-ranked woman and reigning
Wimbledon champion then closed out

But what Coach Paterno is trying to do is
create competition at the position."
What might come of the competition is a
two-quarterback system that is not quite
platooning, but more freewheeling than in the
past.
"I'm not crazy about two quarterbacks
splitting the football game," Paterno said,
"but as I look at it Knizner certainly deserves
a chance to show what he can do in a football
game and on the other hand, I'm not about to
pass up the fact that Shaffer took us through a
very difficult year . . . There are reasons to
make sure that both of them play."
And why not. It worked well for Notre
Dame up until their last disastrous three
games of the season with the ineffective
veteran Steve Beuerlein occasionally finding
himself displaced by the rambling Terry
Andrysiak.
"That's one thing I don't think I can screw
up," Paterno said of his own quarterbacks.
Maybe so.
The Lions have a proven winner in Shaffer
and no shortage of untapped potential in
Knizner making for a no-lose situation, at
least on the drawing board.
But Paterno might have checked with Ger

team defense to get the feel of being
hit.
"Actually, I haven't been out there
yet to test (contact)," Byars said.
"But the way my •rehabilitation went
it won't be a problem."
Byars said his main worry with his
first football contact in more than a
year was holding onto the ball.
"That's what I'm concerned about,
fumbling the football," he said. "I
have to take some blows to the shoul
der."
The Eagles will not practice in pads
today because they have a game
tomorrow night against the Jets.
"He's a little ahead of schedule,"
said Davis, recalling medical predic
tions last April that the back might
not be ready until November, if at all.
Davis said that for Byars to begin
making a major contribution, he had

Mandlikova took just 55 minutes to
beat her French opponent. Playing in
her ninth U.S. Open, Mandlikova
