Pornography
ARHS refusal sparks
By RICK WOODWARD
Collegian Stall Writer
The Association of Residence Hall Students’ recent
decision not to participate in the Undergraduate Stu
dent Government’s Department of Political Affairs
debate on pornography has sparked controversy
among student government leaders.
ARHS, which is responsible for showing pornograph
ic movies on campus, passed a resolution Monday
night that no member may speak on behalf of the
association at the debate next semester.
The move angered William Bailey, chairman of
USG’s Debate Committee, who said yesterday, “It
seems like (ARHS members) are avoiding the issue
and also avoiding hearing the students’ opinion.”
Bailey said ARHS views the debates as USG’s
attempt to polarize ARHS and USG. USG stopped
participating in tlie showing of pornographic movies
last spring.
The debates are intended to be “non-partisan and
purely educational not an organizational fight,” he
said.
However, ARHS President Kent Jute disagreed
saying the debate would only cause people to “point
their fingers (at ARHS) and say we’re immoral and
sexist.”
ARHS is the sole organization affiliated with Penn
State'Cinemas formerly the Penn State Movie Co-op
the only group that shows pornographic moVies on
campus. USG pulled out of the co-op in April amid
complaints that student government shouldn’t be in
volved with pornography.
“We don’t feel we need to debate,” Jute said. “We’ve
taken a stand. We’re showing the films. There’s no
need to debate.”
Jute said USG is trying to stir up controversy about
the pornography issue because it had expected ARHS
to receive a lot of disapproval over the issue and that
has not been the case.
However, Bailey said USG was not attempting to set
up ARHS to be embarrassed.
“This is no crusade,” he said. “This is simply an
effort to get students involved in discussing an issue.”
Todd Anthony Sloan, co-director of USG’s Depart
ment of Political Affairs, said his department created

the debate committee to run a series of student debates
on political topics, and pornography is only one of the
topics to be debated.
“Our goal is to have students debate and come to
debates and be educated,” he said. “What we find very
unfortunate is that elements within ARHS view it as
pitting USG against ARHS.”
USG Vice President Sue Sturgis, former co-director
of USG’s Department of Women’s Concerns, agreed to
debate against pornography. Bailey said that because
ARHS is responsible for showing pornography on
campus, the debate committee decided to approach
ARHS to ask that the organization recommend one of
its members as a possible opponent, he said.
Bailey was shocked when he found out that ARHS
had passed the resolution Monday night, he added.
ARHS did not politicize the question, Jute said.
Bailey and Sloan told him that the debate was not
intended to be an ARHS-USG debate, but when they
told him USG Vice President Sue Sturgis would take
the anti-pornography stand it was obvious to him that
they were being too idealistic, he said.
“They can say a million times that it’s not going to be
an ARHS-USG debate, but everyone knows Sue Sturgis
is vice president of USG,” he said.
Bailey said several members of ARHS had express
ed an interest in participating in the debate but that
they have changed their minds within the past few
days.
Sloan said the debate will still take place, but the
debate committee “simply would not look favorably on
any ARHS (member) participating.”
Bailey said that since the debate has been politicized
by ARHS, the committee’s aims will not be served by
an ARHS member’s taking part, as the debate could
then be regarded by students as “an organizational
feud.”
Jute said ARHS would not appreciate any of its'
members taking part in the debate even if they did not
claim to represent the organization.
“Even as an individual, you’re still representing
your constituency and ARHS until you’re out of office,”
he said.
Jute said he would not like to see a feud between
ARHS and USG and that he believes a debate would
result in one.

Lady cagers squeeze past Syracuse 61-58
By DAVID SEAMON
Collegian Sports Writer
Usually when the women’s basketball team
has the hammer poised to drive the final nail
in an opponent’s coffin, it doesn’t allow for
any last requests. The Lady Lions generally
take this opportunity to turn on the afterburn
ers so they can snowball a rather safe lead
into an insurmountable advantage.
Last night at Syracuse, where the Lady
Lions squeezed past the Lady Orange, 61-58,
the above scenario never really materialized.
Sure the Lady Lions jumped out to 24-13 bulge
with 6:30 remaining in the first half. But
instead of burying its foe alive, Penn State’s
offense became gift-conscious two weeks

home.

in a row
win
By DAVE SOTTILE
Collegian Sports Writer
When the ice hockey team began
last weekend’s busy three-contest
schedule, it had an 8-3 record and a
modest three-game winning streak to
its credit.
Following a trio of impressive
blowout wins (9-1 and 8-2 over
Maryland and 9-3 over Buffalo State),
the Lions’ streak has ballooned to six
and can reach the lucky seven mark
tonight when Penn State hosts Erie
Community College in an Internation
al Collegiate Hockey League match
up at 7 p.m. at the Ice Pavilion.
Tonight’s game is Penn State’s last
before the semester break and the
Lions would like to improve their
overall record to 12-3 and 3-1 in the
ICHL with a win over ECC.
“Consistency is the ideal goal for
our season,” Assistant Coach Doug
Jowdy said after Friday night’s win
over the Terps. “It’s very hard with
the pace of the game to keep that
consistency up for 60 minutes.
“Obviously it’s something that
we’ve tried to work on at practice,
especially with a few tough games
coming up.”
Undoubtedly, Jowdy was referring
to tonight’s game with league foe
ECC and with the Lions’ first two
games after break in the Nittany Lion
Invitational at Pehn State that will
feature Duke, Hawthorne and Com
munity College of Rhode Island on the
weekend of Jan. 16-17.
While Jowdy, fellow assistant Tim
Holdcroft and Head Coach Jon Shel
lington have been searching for some
consistency, most of the players have
responded well.
Wingers Brian Stevenson and Rick
Tullio have provided solid offensive
pop during the team’s current win
ning streak as the duo, plus center
Jim Yablecki, have been on a tear.
Yablecki scored three goals and
added three assists during last week
end’s three convincing wins to up his
point total to 27 for the season (13
goals, 14 assists), good enough for
second place on the team’s scoring
charts behind only team captain
Lynn Sipe (12-19-31).
Stevenson and Tullio have also kept
pace, adding 22 points each for the
Lions. Tullio, a £-8, 170-pound play
maker has dished out 19 assists, tied
with Sipe for team-high honors. While
Stevenson has 10 goals and 12 assists
to his credit.
The .scoring prowess of the three
some has made things tougher on the
opposition, who might expect a one
line team of Sipe, Rob Smith and
Mike Cardonick. Yablecki says that
playing in the shadow of a high scor
ing line like the SSC Line doesn’t
bother him or his linemates at all.
“We’ve been working hard as a unit
on the defensive side of things all
year now,” Yablecki said after his
two-goal effort against Maryland last
Saturday. “We’ve been playing really
hard and we’ve started to do the right
things on offense. We knew the goals
would come. Before the pucks
weren’t going in, but now they’ve
started to go in for us.”
ahead of schedule its turnover spree at the
close of the opening half let the host team
back into the contest.
Head Coach Rene Portland was disap
pointed in her team’s sloppy play which
allowed the Lady Orange to pull even at 31
entering the locker room.
“We had six turnovers in a row in the first
half and that’s what did it,” Portland said.
Portland said that the pendulum began to
swing in the Lady Orange’s favor when they
capitalized on her team’s mistakes, and ef
fectively ran a fast break offense.
After the intermission, the largest lead that
the Lady Lions enjoyed was a six point
margin on two separate occasions.

Just a few weeks ago, after the
men’s volleyball team split a pre
season match with the University of
Southern California, Head Coach
Tom Tait said his team still had a
lot of work to do before beginning
its season and its quest for the
national championship next month.
The team agreed, and decided a
meeting to discuss the errors of the
USC match and the fall practice
season would be the best solution to
its problems.
Middle blocker Chris Chase said
the USC match was disappointing,
noting practices started out slow
and weaknesses and errors came
out.
“We’re a better team than USC,”
he said. “To lose when you know
you’re better is hard to swallow. It
was an eye-opener.”
Sophomore Rob Pierce said the
mistakes of the fall were a result of
individual problems. He said seve
ral people saw the chance for a
national championship and they
wanted to be stars instead of work
ing as a team, where six good
players work together.
Both the team and Tait felt most
of their problems were not because
of a lack of skills, but rather the
lack of a certain attitude.
“As a result of a lengthy team
meeting (six hours, to be exact)
some significant changes for the
better have turned up,” Tait said.
“I have been pleased with the work
outs since the meeting. We didn’t
have a good, strong fall in terms of
quality in practices due to a number
of factors, but lack of success was
due mainly to an attitude that was
not as useful as we needed it to be.
The team rededicated themselves
to having the season we want it to
be.”
‘Some significant
changes for the
better have turned
up.’
Tom Tait
Although the team now has a
positive attitude, it will still have to
overcome certain challenges. For
example,. this year’s schedule is
twice as tough as last year’s. The
team will meet every top 10 team in
the country more than once except
Hawaii and Stanford.
Tait said this set-up was no acci
dent, to win a national
championship you have to have a
tough schedule. He said the quality
of the schedule, if handled correct
ly, will help toughen the team men
tally for the important tournaments
at the end of the season.
Another problem the team will
have to contend with is that it did
not make as much progress this fall
as it had hoped to. Tait said the
Lions will have to make up for this
Chase learns to live with the pressure
By THERESA DeFRANZO
Collegian Sports Writer
You’re the tallest volleyball player in college today.
Your coach describes you as a key player and your
teammates agree. Needless to say, you’re under the
gun.
Sophomore Chris Chase, a 6-foot-10 middle blocker
for the volleyball team, is the player in question and
admits he has felt the pressure in the past.
Last year when he was a starting freshman, he felt
the most intense pressure of the season during the
team’s long tour on the West Coast when it played
several championship matches in a row.
But the game was not always so demanding for
Chase. He was in the seventh grade when he first
started playing and did it mainly because he had some
time on his hands. When high school approached he
decided to keep participating in the sport. Chase’s high
school heroics in Ney, Ohio attracted Penn State and
practically every East Coast college and some from
the West Coast as well.
“I had more opportunities in high school because I
At the 2:06 mark, All-American Suzie Mc-
Connell picked up her fourth personal foul
sending Janice Long to the charity stripe for
Syracuse. But Long missed on both attempts,
securing a five point lead for the Lady Lions.
On the ensuing possesion, the Lady Lions
squandered a scoring opportunity, and Vera
Jones came back to pull the Lady Orange to
within three points, 59-56, with an 18-footer.
There was still 1:50 left to play.
Both squads could not find the basket until
there were eighteen seconds remaining.
That’s when Danene Hopson grabbed a Mc-
Connell miss on the front end of a one-and-one
attempt, and streaked coast-to-coast with a
layup that brought the Lady Orange within a
single point.

Chris Chase was in top form last year against Pepperdine in the NCAA semifinals. Though Penn State lost, it is
hoping to achieve greater success in the upcoming season.
as the season goes on by making
quick adjustments to what the oppo
sition is doing.
Despite the preseason setbacks,
the volleyball team also has a num
ber of things working in its favor.
One plus is that five of the six
starters are returning. The Lions
return a highly experienced veter
an team that Tait said is full of top
caliber players.
Also, the Lions are hoping to have
a stronger blocking team and serv

Two more favorable assets are

stood out in the crowd more,” Chase said. “Because I
was playing good then, I played more, and improved
quicker.
“I chose Penn State because of its academic reputa
tion and because they had a really young team. I knew
in years to come they would do better. It was the
perfect team to walk into.”
Head Coach Tom Tait has been pleased with Chase’s
performance and describes him as “one of the most
dominant front-court attackers in the nation.” Also,
Tait said, “He has outstanding athletic ability to go
along with his size.”
Although Chase realizes his height is a big advantage
in volleyball, he said it “is not the reason I’ve come this
far.” Coordination can be a problem for someone as
tall as Chase, but he hasn’t had any problem with it and
feels fortunate that he has a talent for this sport.
Even though a lot of people are relying on Chase in
every game of every match, he says he can’t let that
affect him. For instance, if he has a bad game he can’t
worry if others think he let them down.
“Last year when I thought I played bad, others would

who will be key players throughout
the season.
“Because we have a 5-1 offense
the setter is the most important
player in what kind of success you’ll
have. If Javier is on, we’ll be on. It’s
true of any 5-1 team, but especially
for us because of his talent.”
Tait also realizes the importance
of Chase. “If Chris and Jav are not
connecting on attacks or if Chris
isn’t dominating net-blocking, we
lose some of things that make us a
special team.”
Both these players have high
standards for themselves Tait said,
The Lady Lions then milked the clock until
there were only five seconds left in the game.
At that time, Vicki Link was fouled by Long,
and Link, the team’s leading scorer in the
season’s early going, iced the victory with a
pair of free throws which made the final
count 61-58.
Penn State, now 3-1 on the season, was led
in the scoring column by Link. The Medford,
N.J. product poured in 24 points to go along
with grabbing 11 rebounds, prompting Port
land to say, “Vicki did a great job off the
boards for us.”
Link’s fellow co-captain, mad bomber Lisa
Faloon, accounted for 16 points. Freshmen
Shelly Caplinger and Adrie DeVries hooped
eight and five points respectively. And al-
and he has seen signs that both will
have outstanding seasons.
Although the talents of both of
these players are crucial to the
team, it will take a team effort to
win.
“They will receive most of the
publicity, but we always operate as
a team-type program. The two of
them can not get the job done them
selves. We need outstanding efforts
from all working as a unit,” Tait
said.

though floor general McConnell was limited
to just two points, she played a strong all
around game. McConnell tied a Manley
Fieldhouse record of 14 assists, to go with her
7 steals and 6 boards.
Portland is pleased with the play of her ‘Big
Three,’ (Link, Faloon and McConnell) but
hopes that she will receive a little more help
from other team members.
“With these three players, we have lead
ership,” Portland said. "We just have to get
the other kids going.”
Sue Ludwig led a trio of Lady Orange in

Cagers hope
changes are
for the better
By MARK BRENNAN
Collegian Sports Writer
According to Head Basketball
Coach Bruce Parkhill, most of his
team looked “flat" in a 74-70 loss to
Loyola of Maryland last Sunday. To
remedy the situation he has engi
neered a few lineup changes as the
Lions (2-2) take on Lehigh tonight at
7:30 in Rec Hall.
Parkhill will start a different front
line against the Engineers, and he
said he hopes it will have a positive
impact on the team.
“We hope it will shake some things
up,” Parkhill said. “We felt in
fairness to the guys who have been
coming off the bench, just looking at
the stats, we felt we really needed to
give some other people a chance.
They have been producing.”
Across the front, Parkhill will start
senior forward Carl Chrabascz, ju
nior forward Wes Jones, and center
Jim Newcomer.
Chrabascz and Jones will replace
Ed Fogell and Tom Hovasse respec
tively, both of whom started Penn
State’s first four games. Parkhill said
he felt center Mike Peapos, who came
off the bench against Loyola to score
a team-high 18 points, earned a start
ing position, but Peapos opted to be a
sixth man.
“Guys like Mike really like to get a
perspective on the game,” Parkhill
said. “But I told him if he wants the
starting position, he has earned it.”
Peapos said he can contribute more
to the team coming off the pine.
“I requested not to start because I
feel more comfortable as a reserve,”
Peapos said. “I just feel I can help the
team out more coming off the
bench.”
Tony Ward and Brian Allen will
remain at the guard position for the
Lions.
Since the Parkhill has the most
balanced team of his four-year career
at Penn State, he said he did not
hesitate to make some changes when
he realized several players didn’t
seem comfortable on the court.
“I think we had some guys who
were pressing, instead of going out to
play,” Parkhill said. “They’re wor
ried about playing well instead of just
going out and playing the game.
Maybe shaking the lineup a bit will
shake them out of it.”
The Lions will have to be at the top
of their game if the hope to stop
Lehigh’s one-two scoring punch of
Daren Queenan and Mike Polaha.
Queenan is a 6-foot-5 swingman
who can fill it up from almost any
where on the court. Polaha, who is
coming off an injury that forced him
to miss most of last season, is a silky
smooth shooting guard who is out
standing from three-point range.
Polaha is questionable for the game
though, folowing a thumb injury in a
game Monday night. An announce
ment is expected this morning on
Polaha’s status for the game.
“Queenan is a legitimate All-Amer
ican candidate,” Parkhill said. “He’s
a great athlete, and real scorer. Pola
ha will score from three-point range
very easily, he’s a real good shooter
and a tough player.
“They have a pretty sizeable front
line," Parkhill added. “They’re just a
solid team that can put points on the
board. We’ll have a real challenge
with Polaha and Qeeenan.”
After starting the season off with
wins over Harvard and Dickenson,
the Engineers have dropped two
straight. The first loss came at the
hands of Marquette, 83-66, but the
score was tied at 40 at halftime.
Lehigh also lost to Princeton, 72-62,
Monday night.
Penn State’s season has mirrored
Lehigh’s. The Lions started off with
two wins, over LaSalle and Miami of
Fla. in the AMI Classic, before losing
to Rhode Island and Loyola last week.
The start against Lehigh will be a
sort of homecoming for both Chra
bascz and Peapos. Chrabascz trans
ferred to Penn State from Lehigh in
1984, which should make the game a
little more meaingful for him.
Peapos played on the same high
school team, at Allentown Central
Catholic, with Polaha.
