"There have been lots of attempts
to regulate pensions," said James M.
Wagner, assistant vice president for
human resources at the University,
and he added that such actions "fre
quently go nowhere."
"Most people who get two pensions
have worked two jobs," Wagner said.
"Maybe they deserve two pensions."
Wagner suggested that a system of
phased retirement, in which a worker
would gradually retire rather than
suddenly leave the workforce, may
become popular. Such a solution
would relieve some of the strain
placed on pension systems by the
mass retirement of the baby boom
generation.
However, the committee believes
the issue is real and wishes the young
er generation was more aware of the
heavy budget stresses ahead.
"People our age don't look to the
future," Russo said. "They say,
`We'll pay in the future.' But the
future is here."
Space issues
to be discussed
The Arthur H. Waynick memorial
fund will sponsor a lecture on "Issues
in Space Research How the Future
Influences the Past" at 8 tonight in
112 Walker.
C. Stewart Gillmore, professor of
history and science and chairman of
the history department at Wesleyan
University in Middletown, Conn., will
cover issues facing university re
search and educators today, such as
funding for researchers.
He will also discuss aging research
ers in space.
"In the next few years, the commu
nity of leaders in the space program,
who were the real pioneers in the '6os,
will be retiring, and they will be
replaced by a group of new people,"
said John Nisbet, Penn State profes
sor of electrical engineering. "These
are the leaders of the future."
The lecture will be open to students,
faculty and the public, Nisbet added.

Top-ranked spikers
host EIVA tourney
By MARK WOGENRICH
Collegian Sports Writer
An act that men's volleyball Head
Coach Tom Tait called a "real
shame" will send the nation's No. 1
and No. 2 teams to Rec Hall tonight
for opening -round action of the East
ern Intercollegiate Volleyball Asso
ciation championships.
No. 1 Penn State will meet No. 16
Rutgers-Newark in the feature match
at 8 p.m . .; while No. 2 George Mason
will take on No. 14 East Stroudsburg
at 5:30 p.m.
Saturday's agenda looks the same,
with the consolation game set for 5:30
p.m. and the East finale scheduled
for 8 p.m.
However, Tait said that Penn State
and GMU did not earn their rankings
by merit, but instead by default.
According to Tait, Eastern and
Midwestern coaches were angered by
the fact that Pepperdine neglected to
report its 3-0 loss to UC-Santa Barba
ra last weekend. Consequently, softie!
coaches Tait not included left
the more deserving California teams
off their ballots.
"It was an emotional over-reaction
of some of the coaches in the East and
Midwest to the frustration of some of .
the things that were happening with
the poll," Tait said.
"Those coaches who voted this way
realize what a bad mistake they
made," he added. "They know what
they did was not good for volleyball
as a collegiate sport."
Nevertheless, the top-ranking
•
means little to the Lions.
"It's not something that means a
lot to us," Tait said. "The only two
polls that mean anything are the pre
season poll, which can determine
tournament invitations, and the one
after the NCAA tournament at the
end of the year. In between, they are
basically meaningless."
"It would be better if nobody knew
about the situation, since it really
isn't honest," sophomore middle-hit
ter Chris Chase said.
Even if the nation's real top two
teams won't be at Rec Hall, at least
the EIVA's top duo will be present.
Penn State and George Mason have a

long-standing rivalry, which includes
four Lion victories over the Patriots
this season. The expected PSU-GMU
final will only fuel the fire.
"Barring any major upsets, it
should be Penn State and George
Mason in the final game," Tait said.
"If it is, it should prove to be an
exceptional match between two out
standing teams."
But Tait, as he has said previously,
does not, like to look past ,any oppo
nent.
"One thing you learn in athletics is
that you can never take things for
granted," he said. "In this tourna
ment, we are fully aware that any
further steps we take hinge on our
winning (over Rutgers-Newark). If
we don't get the job done in the semi
finals, then we won't win the EIVA
tourney. And if we don't win the EIVA
tourney, we aren't going to get a
chance at a National Championship."
Chase's perspective of the tourna
ment, however, is a little different.
`•`l've been ready (for the EIVA
tourney) since January," he said.
"George Mason is fun and the best
team we play out here, but, after
beating them four times, it's hard to
convince yourself that they can beat
us. For us to lose, we would have to
play pretty pathetically."
But, as Tait pointed out, for Penn
State to collect its fifth win over
GMU, it has to be prepared to stop a
couple of things Mason has going for
it: the explosive hitting team of Moyo
Kasim and Uvaldo Acosta, and some
thing known as the revenge factor.
"Kasim and Acosta are two out
standing players that could start for
any team in the country," Tait said.
"They are key players and will help
Mason get their share of points and
sideouts. We have to make sure that
they don't get more than their
share."
As for the revenge factor, Tait said,
"It is the same situation we had
earlier with them and with Santa
Barbara. We expect them to play well
and come at us strong. But if we play
the brand of ball we are capable of, it
will take a great team and a great
effort to beat us."
Flyers blank Rangers, 5-0
By The Associated Press
NEW YORK Rookie Ron Hextall,
the NHL's winningest goaltender,
posted his second shutout of the play
offs, stopping 34 shots as the Philadel
phia Flyers eliminated the New York
Rangers from Stanley Cup contention
with a 5-0 victory last night.
The Flyers, who finished first in the
Patrick Division this season, won the
series 4-2 and advanced to the divi
sion final against the winner of the
Washington-New York Islanders se- •
ries. That series is tied 3-3, with the
deciding game scheduled for tomor
row night in Landover, Md. :z!
Hextall, who won 37 games during '
the season and led the NHL with 66 w
appearances and a .902 save percent
age, rarely was tested in adding this
shutout to a 3-0 victory in Game 3,
also at Madison Square Garden. His
most difficult moment came on a 5-
on-3 New York power play midway
through the second period.
By then, the Flyers led 3-0 on goals
by Derrick Smith and defensemen
Doug Crossman and Brad Marsh.
The trio had combined for only 22
goals during the regular season.
Smith, whose defensive work shut
down Tomas Sandstrom, the Rang
ers' high-scoring right wing, knocked /
in a backhander from just outside the ±7: # ,;:t r i
goal crease 9:19 into the game. John 7,,/,;; ,
op,
Vanbiesbrouck stopped Rick Toc- ,f 1 q i°
chet's shot, but was down on the ice
when Smith poked in the rebound.
Crossman and Marsh took advan
tage from Ranger mistakes.
Crossman intercepted a poor clear
ing pass from Tony McKegney and
fired from the right point. The puck
deflected off Ron Greschner and past
Vanbiesbrouck with three minutes
left in the period.
Marsh made it 3-0 at 8:35 of the
second period when his 45-foot wrist
shot was tipped into the net by Rang
ers' defensemen James Patrick.
Varibiesbrouck was replaced by
Bob Froese at that point, but it made
little difference, as the Flyers' speed
and tight defensive work were to
much for New York to overcome.

prepare for the Scarlet Knights
By SUSAN GOLDSTEIN
Collegian Sports Writer
The men's tennis team defeated Millers Ville yesterday
at the Penn State Tennis Club by a score of 8-1, pushing
the Lions above the .500 mark with a record of 14-13.
They'll look to maintain their winning ways when they
take on the Scarlet Knights of Rutgers today.
Penn State began its slaying of Millersville when Lee
Sponaugle beat Young Min Kwon in the No. 1 singles
match, 6-1, 6-3. Sponaugle was very pleased with his win
over Kwon. He defeated Kwon twice before on hard
courts, but has lost to him three times on clay. Yester
day's win on hard courts evened their record at 3-3.
Some other factors that Sponaugle said contributed to
the win were his serving, the home courts, and his friends'
support.
"I anticipated him well," he said. "I knew where he,
was going to hit the ball because I've played him so many
times before. I was on the offensive from the baseline, so I
just waited for the opportunity to come in."
In the No. 2 spot, Oliver Sebastian defeated Oliver
Merrill by the same score, 6-1, 6-3. Sebastian said that his
match was much tougher than the score indicated.
Sebastian hadn't played his opponent before, but he has
watched him play and knew his style of play. Sebastian
didn't use his usual serve-and-volley game, 'because he
knew he could stay back and still win.
• Adam Steinberg, the Lions' No. 3 singles player
struggled to win a three-set match over Mike Kennedy, 4-
6, 6-3, 6-4. At No. 4, Bill Dollard came back to win his
match, 3-6, 6-4, 6-0, shutting out John Wylie in the third
set. Ron Mercer lost at No. 5 to Avery Fraser by a score of
6-1, 6-3, and Glenn Leach registered a 6-2, 6-1, win over
Millersville's No. 6 singles player Dan Barber.
Leach's strategy was opposite of that of Sebastian. He
said he defeated his opponent by coming in and keeping
his opponent back.
"Basically I just overpowered the guy," he said. "He
just stayed back and if you stay back on these courts it's
difficult to win."
All three of the doubles teams won their matches,

starting with Sponaugle and Sebastian at No. 1. They
defeated the team of Kwon and Merrill by a score of 6-4, 6
3. Mark Hertz teamed with Mercer to win the No. 2
doubles, 7-6, (7-4 in the tiebreaker) 6-3, over Kennedy and
Wylie. The duo of Steinberg and Dollard won their match,
6-3, 6-4, over Fraser and Barber.
Leach said that Millersville was a good match to build
the team's confidence, especially for the upcoming
matches against Rutgers and Princeton.
Head Coach Holmes Cathrall said he was generally
pleased with the win over Millersville, which is currently
ranked 20th in Division 11. He said, however, that he is
still not satisfied with the doubles play.
"They're playing better, but they're still not playing
their best," he said.
Cathrall said that hopefully some of the problems that
were partially corrected yesterday will be corrected even
more in the match with Rutgers today and by the time the
team gets to Princeton on Saturday everything will be
worked out.
This is the last regular road trip for the Lions until the
Atlantic 10 Championships. Penn State's schedule has
consisted of 23 matches on the road and only eight at
home.
Cathrall said that if his team plays as well as they
generally play then they should beat Rutgers. Rutgers'
No. 1 player is out with an injury and that will hurt the
strength of the team.
Cathrall said that Princeton will be the big match and
the Lions have the potential to beat Princeton if they play
with intensity during every match.
"We're always going to have trouble with Princeton, no
matter what. We will have to play our best tennis to beat
them," he said. "If we have an off day and don't play well,
then we'll get beat."
Sebastian said that everyone must play well in order to
win.
"It's up to the individual, if he has a good day or not,"
he said.
The Lions return home next week to face Maryland on
Monday and Penn on Wednesday. •
