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

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.

ciated by many, some felt concrete
results had yet to be seen.
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.

A European-style cafe featuring
pastries and coffees will be on the
extravagant side, Vita said. Guest
lecturers and book signings will also
be featured, he said.
Encore Books is a discount
bookstore chain that owns about 150
stores on the East Coast.
Vita said his company turned down
two other less expensive stores
bidding for the space and chose
Encore Books. The company wanted
to bring the big city bookstore to a
small town.
Vita said he is confident local
residents will be impressed when the
new Encore Books Superstore opens
in the spring.
