activities at that university. Despite
an official ban, such practices often
occur on that campus, the Newsweek
article said.
Another hazing scandal surfaced in
February, when a fraternity pledge
was locked in a room and pelted with
raw eggs, 800 dozen of them, for 72
hours straight, according to the
Newsweek article.
During the 1960 s and 19705, when
civil rights and the Vietnam War
were major preoccupations on cam
pus, hazing largely subsided because
of a decline in fraternity mem
bership.
A fraternity at Syracuse University
was suspended for 18 months after
the pledges were doused with oven
cleaner.
At Texas A&M, three students ad
mitted they forced freshman Bruce
Goodrich to take ,part in hours of
calisthenics during a cadet-style
hazing that caused his death from
heat exhaustion.
Yet, after having spoken at 300
universities nationwide during the
past seven years, .including Penn
State three years ago, and at 35
national fraternity conferences, Ste
vens said "greeks care about hazing,
but, just a few instances bring
a blemish to the entire fraternity
world."
University Interfraternity Council
President Pat Conway said the
hazing cases brought out in the media
are isolated incidents and are' not
representative of the hazing prac
tices at all fraternities.
Though a few cases of hazing do
exist at the University, hazing is not a
problem, Conway said.
Donald Suit, director of the Office
of Conduct Standards, said his office
has reviewed two or three cases in
volving hazing practices during the
past 15 years.
He added that University students
are reluctant to report such prac
tices.
Until recently, Stevens said, her
efforts to publicize hazing casualities
have forced university officials to
realize that “these rituals are more
than a case of ‘boyS will be boys.’ ”
“During the past seven years, with
the great response I have been get
ting from people, I think it looks very
encouraging, ” Stevens said. “And
without a (hazing) law on the books
an entire fraternity could not be
charged.”
No legislation can be a powerful
deterrent, Stevens said, but an anti
hazing law does make those account
able for their actions. '
Stevens said she has reviewed sta
tistics indicating that 98 percent of
the hazing resulting in death in recent
years involved the use of alcohol.
In 1983, at the University of
Maryland, Gate and Key, a honorary
society of fraternity leaders, was
banned from campus because of a
hazing incident that caused internal
bleeding in a new member.
The fraternity members were
charged with pressuring the new
member to drink a pitcher of beer,
causing him to vomit and to tear his
esophagus.
Many of the universities’ IFCs and
Panhellenic Councils, including those
at Penn State, have come out in
support of state anti-hazing legis
lation.
Legislation will bring the dangers
of hazing to the surface, Stevens said,
but “in some cases fraternities cling
to this outdated tradition and will go
further underground."
New Jersey has a two-level law that
calls for a maximum six-month jail
term and a $l,OOO fine for hazing when
no bodily harm is sustained, and up to
18 months in jail and a $7,500 fine for a
case where there is serious injury.

Lady spikers brand Cowgirls
By MARK S. McWHIRTER
Collegian Sports Writer
The No. 13 women’s volleyball
team branded the Wyoming Cowgirls
at Rec Hall last night in four games to
advance to the Mid-East Regionals of
the NCAA Championship Tourna
ment. The 38-4 Lady Lions will travel
to Lincoln, Nebraska on Thursday,
providing the heavily-favored Lady
Cornhuskers defeat Pittsburgh to
morrow. '
Head Coach Russ Rose said Ne
braska has caused problems for Penn
State teams in recent years in post
season play and that he will work
together with his team to drum up a
game plan for next week.
“I’m going to have the players
decide what they feel was lacking and
that is what we’re going to ap
proach,” Rose said. “I have my own
opinion, but they are the one’s play
ing the game. I’m just kind of watch
ing like everyone else.’ ’
In the first game of last night’s
match, Penn State jumped out to an
early 8-3 lead, but things stalled
somehow and Wyoming quickly tied
the score with five straight points. Co
captain Vida Kernich said the exter
nal factors of the game had an effect
on her team’s play.
i
;-j
“I think that because it was the
first round of the playoffs and that we
were expected to win since we were
at home, we got a little bit tight,”
Kernich said. “Once we settled down,
although we didn’t play as well as we
could have, we won, so now we’re in
the playoffs.”
The Cowgirls then took the lead,
reeling off four more points. But
Samantha Johns came into serve for
the Lady Lions at 8-12 and brought
them back to within two with an ace
and. another point. A kill by Heidi
Pilecki and a lift by Wyoming quickly
evened up the score. Two hitting
errors by Penn State allowed Wyom
ing to win the first game, 15-13.
Following the early loss, Rose as
sembled his team in the middle of the
court and said something that must
have appealed to his players because
they breezed to a 15-2 win in the
second game.
“He just said that it was in our
hands,” Kernich said of Rose’s pep
talk. “It was the way we were play
ing, not anything that they were
doing.”
Hitting errors on the Cowgirls’ side
of the net were abundant in the sec
ond game and the Lady Lions took
advantage of them. In fact, the Cow
girls hit with a surprisingly low team
Conlan, Testaverde
By HERSCHEL NISSENSON
AP Football Writer
The nation’s top runner and No. 1
passer Temple tailback Paul
Palmer and Miami of Florida quar
terback Vinny Testaverde were
named yesterday to the Associated
Press All-American football team for
1986.
Miami and Oklahoma each put
three players on the elite squad while
Auburn and Ohio State had two each.
Testaverde was joined by team
mates Jerome Brown, a defensive
tackle, and free safety Bennie
Blades, who led the nation with 10
interceptions.
Testaverde, who is expected to win
the Heisman Trophy on Saturday, led
Miami to a No. 1 ranking in the AP
poll for the last 10 weeks by complet
ing 175 of 276 passes for 2,557 yards
and a nation-leading 26 touchdowns in
10 games. His completion percentage
was 63.4 and he led the country in
passing efficiency.
Oklahoma, the team Miami dis
placed as No. 1 after beating the
Sooners 28-16 on Sept. 27, is rep
resented by inside linebacker Brian
Bosworth, tight end Keith Jackson
and offensive guard Mark Hutson, all
juniors.
Bosworth is one of five repeaters
and nine juniors on the first team.
The other repeaters are offensive
guard Jeff Bregel of Southern Califor
nia, defensive backs Thomas Everett
of Baylor and Mark Moore of Oklaho
ma State and punter Barry Helton of
Colorado.
The other juniors besides Blades,
Helton and the Oklahoma trio are
wide receivers Tim Brown of Notre
Dame and Cris Carter of Ohio State,
defensive tackle A 1 Noga of Hawaii
and inside linebacker Chris Spielman
of Ohio State.
The rest of the All-America team
consists of offensive tackles Harris
Barton of North Carolina and Danny
Villa of Arizona State, center Ben
Tamburello and running back Brent
Fullwood of Auburn, placekicker Jeff
Jaeger of Washington, outside line
backers Cornelius Bennett of Ala
bama and Shane Conlan of Penn
State,, nose guard Danny Noonan of
Nebraska and defensive back Rod
Woodson of Purdue.
The team was selected by the AP’s
regional sports editors, along with the
college football editor and the sports
hitting efficiency of a miserable .038
on the night.
Co-captain Ellen Hensler said there
was no change in game strategy
between games Penn State just
settled down and capitalized on
Wyoming’s errors.
“We didn’t really change our game
plan, but I think we all had on the
back of our minds that we could play
better and that we were going to
win," Hensler said.
“It really was just something that
was on our side of the net, and we
didn’t change anything,” Kernich
added. “We just tried to pull together
and said, ‘Come on.’ We could tell we
were better than them.”
In game two, the Lady Lions came
out strong and assumed a 6-1 early
lead. Penn State was then charged
with four hits on its side, an infraction
that gave the Cowgirls a second point.
From then on in, it was all Penn State
as each member contributed to the
winning effort.
Freshman Bessie Ramirez ac
counted for several kills and solo
blocks for the Lady Lions en route to
the lopsided win. Outside hitter Heidi
Pilecki also contributed on offense
with key plays down the stretch.
Samantha Johns slammed the door
with an ace to end it. From then on,
the Lady Lions never looked back.
Lisa Ferguson was the starting
server for game three. Ferguson’s
deceptive serves forced the Cowgirls
to make poor passes, stalling Wyom
ing’s offensive attack.
With Penn State up 7-4, Johns and
Judy McDonough came in on defense
and remained on the court until the
Lady Lions were up 9-6. Outside hitter
Lisa Leap returned to the court, serv
ing an ace and adding a kill to make it
11-6. Penn State then gave up a point
on a lift but then swept the next four
points to preserve the 15-7 victory.
Game four saw the Lady Lions
dominate from start to finish. Pilecki
came into her own on offense in game
four as she ended up with a dozen kills
on the night. Middle hitter Izetta
Phillips and Kernich were instrumen
tal on defense throughout the night
with 15 digs each. Defensive star
Denise Navoney was also a key for
Penn State in the backcourt with a
nine-dig effort on the evening.
Although Penn State did win in four
games, Rose was not satisfied with
the overall play of his team, and he
expressed the need for improvement
in the week ahead.
“The only thing I liked about the
entire match was the result,” he said.
“I don’t think we played well. I don’t

sectional lists.
Three 1985 first-teamers failed to
repeat. Michigan State tailback Lo
renzo White and LSU linebacker Mi
chael Brooks were hampered by
injuries while Texas A&M linebacker
Johnny Holland made the third team.
Temple’s Palmer led the nation
with 1,866 rushing yards, an average
of 169.6 yards a game and 5.4 per
carry. He added 110 reception yards
and 657 on kickoff returns to finish
No. 1 in all-purpose running, as well,
with an average of 239.36 a game.
Fullwood, who played behind 1985
Heisman winner Bo Jackson until this
year, led the nation with 8.3 yards per
carry and also paced the Southeast
ern Conference with 126.4 yards a
game, good for fourth place national
ly.
Brown, who did everything Notre
Dame asked of him, is one of the
country’s most dangerous perform
ers. Lining up at wide receiver and
running back, he finished third in all
purpose running with 176.09 yards a
game.
Carter is considered the finest re
ceiver in Ohio State history. He set
school records by catching 65 passes
for 1,066 yards and 11 touchdowns this
season.
Tight end Jackson caught just 14
passes Oklahoma threw only 88
but he averaged a school record 28.8
yards per reception and five of them
went for touchdowns.
Up front, Barton graded out a win
ner in every game and North Caroli
na Coach Dick Crum calls him the
best offensive lineman he has ever
had. He switched from tackle to cen
ter against Maryland after practicing
at that position for only one day.
Southern Cal’s Bregel moved from
weakside to strongside guard this
year to take advantage of his run
blocking abilities. He became the
first USC offensive lineman since
World War II to start every game for
four consecutive years.
Hutson’s blocking was a key to
Oklahoma averaging 404.7 yards a
game on the ground, almost 100 yards
ahead of runnerup Nebraska. Villa,
the other tackle opposite Barton, was
one reason Arizona State won its first
Pacific-10 championship and a berth
in the Rose Bowl.

well came ready to play.”
Rose also touched on the fact that
his team hasn’t performed at its peak
at home during the year.
“I don’t think we were ready to
play,” Rose said. “I’d rather be on
the road. When you’re on the road
you’re in control. You can tell every
body this is what we’re doing and this
is when we’re doing it and there’s
nothing else happening.”

Penn State’s Conlan was the lead

Cagers' woes continue
against Rhode Island
By MARK BRENNAN
Collegian Sports Writer
Any good driver will tell you that
the faster you go, the more fuel you
use. That may explain why the men’s
basketball team ran out of gas in the
second half of a 75-63 loss to Rhode
Island last night in Kingston.
After trailing by as many as 19
points in the first half, the Lions (2-1)
put on a furious rally after intermis
sion to take a two-point lead, 52-50,
with 7:50 left in the game. But the
lead was short lived, as the needle hit
empty just over a minute later when
the Rams (3-0) took the lead for good.
Although the Lions seemed to be
driving at 100 mph during the
comeback, Head Coach Bruce Park
hill was hesitant to’say that his team
“ran out of gas.”
“It kind of looked that way, it
happened with about seven minutes
to go in the game, and that is along
period of time,” Parkhill said.
“There were a lot of swings in this
game. It kind of looked that way
because we had a lot of let downs that
enabled them to re-take the lead.”
Regardless of how fast Penn State
(2-1) was going during the comeback,
the deciding factor in the game was
the Lions’ inability to get the motor
started.
Rhode Island controlled the open
ing tap and on the strength of some
hot shooting by guard Tom Garrick
and full court man-to-man press, the
Rams jumped out to 19-4 lead midway
through the first period.
The Lions were plagued by six
turnovers during the spurt, with the
only Penn State points coming on a
three-point play by Tony Ward and a
free-throw by Brian Allen.
Senior guard Paul Murphy came
off of the bench with nine minutes left
in the half and gave the Lions’ motor
the jump-start it needed. Although
the motor took a while to turnover,
with the Rams extending the lead to
19 points with 7:15 left in the half,
Penn State slowly began to pick up
speed.
Murphy scored 11 points in the
stretch leading up to halftime as the
Lions picked away and went into the
locker room trailing by 12, 35-23.
Parkhill said without Murphy’s
play in the half, the Lions could have
been out of the game a lot earlier. In
the half, Penn State’s starting five of
Ward and Allen at the guards, Jim
Newcomer at center, and Tom Hov
asse and Ed Fogell filling the forward

spots, only managed a combined four
points.
“I thought Murphy did a really nice
job,” Parkhill said. “He’s been
around. Brian (Allen) got a little
rattled ... tonight, and fortunately
Murph showed a lot of poise. It was a
nice lift for us to have Murph coming
off the bench.”
The Lions also started off slow in
the second half, falling behind by 17
early, but Ward sent the team into
overdrive and in the next six minutes
Penn State drew within five, 46-41,
with 13 minutes remaining.
Ward had 12 points in the streak,
which saw the Lions outscore the
Rams 15-6. Penn State then switched
on the afterburners, and behind the
strong inside play of Hovasse and
reserve center Mike Peapos, the Li
ons knotted the score at 50 with 8:40
left in the game.
Ward took a rebound on the next
Rhode Island possesion and went
coast-to-coast, nailing a jumper to
give the Lions their first lead of the
game, 52-50, with 7:50 to go.
Parkhill said defense and good in
side shooting were the keys to the
second-half run.
“We played a little bit better de
fensively,” Parkhill said. “We gained
our composure a little bit more offen
sively, getting the ball inside a little
bit more.”
The teams exchanged baskets, giv
ing Penn State a 54-52 lead, but two
free throws by Carlton "Silk” Owens
tied the game. The Penn State engine
that had begun to run so smoothly
began to sputter and when a Bonzie
Colson follow gave the Rams a 56-54
lead, the Lions motor all but stalled.
A three-point goal by Owens put
Rhode Island up by five and the Rams
never looked back.
Rhode Island built the lead back up
to eight with just over two minutes to
go. in the game and the Lions, depite
using a four-guard combination for
pressing and three-point field goal
shooting, could not muster a
comeback.
