—The Daily Collegian Wednesday, Aug. 25, 1t93 Leaders connect at encampment By KIM BURGER Collegian Staff Writer It looked like a family picnic. About 200 University adminis trators, staff, faculty, students and community leaders participated in Encampment 1993 yesterday at Stone Valley Recreation Area, where they ate, played games and discussed campus and community issues on an equal level. The lines between student and professional blurred as normally suit and-tie administrators, such as University President Joab Thomas, threw horseshoes and played vol leyball. The picnic events were only side activities to the dialogue among the participants. Encampment has been held every fall for over 40 years to bring stu dent, University and State College representatives into contact with each other. This year the event was enhanced by the attendance of student leaders whose groups were not previously invited, said encampment student Tri-chairman Gerard Louison. "The average, the more general student leader," as well as student political leaders, were invited to give their insight, Louison said. "It's an informed opinion that students here today are giving the administra tors," he said. Among the first-year attendees were representatives from the Newman Center, Circle-K, Black rs- OFF ANY Z '2 .„„ 2-TOPPING 2 N PIZZA AT • o N 1993 Domino's CI Ct. ® REGULAR PRICE Pizza Inc.

This year's topic, improving community quality, was discussed by keynote speaker Faith Wohl, vice president of work force partnering for DuPont Industries, and closing speaker Marian U. Coppersmith Fredman, University Board of Trustees member and president of Barash Advertising Inc. A com munity development session fea turing cooperation activities and games was offered by Shavers Creek Environmental Center. But it was in the informal discussions that par ticipants actively addressed shared concerns and issues. Bruce Ellis, acting director of minority admissions and commu nity affairs, found the discussions worthwhile. "It does give you faith that a diverse group around the campus are willing to sit down and rub elbows with a variety of people," Ellis said. The morning discussion session explored teaching and learning, and the afternoon program addressed learning beyond the classroom. Participants were assigned to discussion groups where they shared their feelings about subjects such as class size, faculty research, alcohol abuse and the stadium keg ban. Many were pleased with the chance to express their views and hear the differing opinions of others. University President Joab Thomas and Undergraduate Student Gov ernment Senate President Mike King play a game of horseshoes. They were at a leadership encampment held at Stone Valley Recreation Area yesterday. "I think it was very important that we did voice our opinion," said Carina Defferrire, Latino Caucus presi dent. "A lot can get accomplished because of this day," she said. Director of Career Development and Placement Services Jack Ray man has attended several encampments and said the com fortable, informal situation results in enlightening conversations he enjoys. "I like to mostly listen, and tak ing to heart what I hear," Rayman said. Creating an open dialogue, rath er than trying to change or form policies, was the purpose of encampment. "It's a time to bring ideas for ward," student Tri-chairman Mike Sophy said. Although the communication achieved yesterday was appre Wednesday.

The issue of diversity is one area Zelia Z. Wiley, Black Graduate Student Association president, said she feels will need to be actively pursued within the University and town. While everyone recognized the need for diversity, "the question is still how and when," she said. Sally Maud Robertson, co-direc tor of AIDS Project of Centre County, agreed that encampment isn't the solution to all the problems. "I think the frustration is it raises more questions than it answers," she said. But the participants accom plished an important step in solv ing problems, student Tri-chairwoman Nicole Ferrise said. "It's basically a change in your self, to look at things differently," Ferrise said. Art' nal Qolden Oldies mmßoYgggors. , . 1r 1-- - 2 PC.
