LEDERER Associated Press Writer CAIRO, Egypt One of the world's few women leaders struck back at Vatican and Muslim fundamentalists yesterday by defending abortion and sex education and made a plea to curb the population boom "for Earth's sake." In her opening day speech, the outspo ken prime minister of Norway, Gro Har lem Brundtland, framed a key issue of the U.N. population conference: give power to women in order to slow birth rates. Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto of Paki Versatile offense key to win By CRAIG OSTROFF Collegian Sports Writer MINNEAPOLIS —Pall Semester classes have not yet begun at the University of Minnesota, but the Golden Gophers' foot ball squad has already learned a lesson in humility. .

"It could have been a totally dif ferent football game." Meanwhile, the Lions' offense feasted on the hapless Minnesota defense. Quar terback Kerry Collins went 19-for-23 including a school-record 14 consecutive completions for 260 yards and three touchdowns before leaving the game in the third quarter to give backups Wally Richardson and Mike McQueary some playing time. The Lions' offense, expected to house Gro Harlem Brundtland Norwegian prime minister conference and buck conservative Islamic opponents was in itself a victory for the organizers. Two other Muslim women leaders, Tansu Ciller of Turkey and Kha lida Zia of Bangladesh, backed out. multiple weapons, utilized each of them to the fullest. On the ground, Carter racked up a career-high 210 yards including touch down runs of two, 80 and 62 yards on 20 carries. The talented Lion backfield con tinually broke through the Minnesota line. Mike Archie, Stephen Pitts and even redshirt freshman Ambrose Fletcher car ried the ball. The fullback trio did the same. Redshirt freshman Jason Sload recorded his first career touchdown on a one-yard run in the fourth quarter. Page 14 "We do have a lot of offensive weap ons," Carter said. "If they try to stop our run, li k e they did today, then we get them with the pass." And indeed they did.

Tuesday, Sept. 6, 1994 But Bhutto's rejection of sections of the proposed 20-year blueprint to curb pop ulation growth, coupled with another Vatican attack on abortion, reflected the polarized debate at the conference. At the heart of her address was the need not only to talk about women's equality, but to finance women's needs until equal ity is reached. "Women's education is the single most important path to higher productivity, lower infant mortality and lower fertili ty," Brundtland said. "The economic returns on investment in women's education are generally comps- Left, Gregg Goa*friend (junior-industrial engineering), Jeff Bugno (junior-civil engineering), Pete Moore (junior-exercise science) and Craig Swirkierman (junior mechanical engineering) celebrate the Lion's' 56-3 victory over Minnesota. Above, Heisman-hopeful KI-Jana Carter tries to break through the Gopher's defense. Freddie Scion racked up 133 yards and a touchdown on seven receptions. Bobby Engrain caught five passes for 73 yards and a score, but the duo did not make up all of the Lions' passing game. Names and numbers unfamiliar even to Penn State faithfuls appeared on the receiving ends of passes. Names such as Keith Olsommer, who caught the first ball of his career a four-yard touchdown pass from Collins. Redshirt freshman Joe Jurevicius, who also booted the Lions' lone punt of the night, and redshirt sophomore Chris Campbell both pulled in their first career catches as well. "We wanted to establish the fact that we could spread the ball around," said Collins, adding that last season the team relied heavily on Engram. "It kind of frees things up and keeps (the defense) off bal ance."

Weeks before it opened, the U.N. con ference exploded in controversy over the issues of abortion, birth control and sex education. The Vatican opposes artificial birth control and abortion in all cases, while Muslim fundamentalists say the draft plan of action promotes promiscuity. In three preliminary meetings, dele gates to the conference agreed to more than 90 percent of the plan of action. University finds funds for students By JUUA GEIS Collegian Staff Writer Many people have heard that each year, scholarships go unspent because no one knows they are out there. To help students find out what types of financial aid are available, searches can be done through computer software. Although the searches cannot guarantee aid, they are an easier way for students to find out what aid they could qualify for. Some searches require a fee, but if Penn State students go through the Uni versity, finding financial aid sources only costs the 29 cent stamp needed to mail the applica tion. In 1992-93, 62 percent of Uni versity students received financial aid, said Joan Lisle, a University information analyst. About two years ago, the Uni versity purchased a software package that matches students with scholarships, grants, federal aid, fellowships and loans they could qualify for, said Bronwen Wagner, director for student aid operations and University schol arships. Although searches can be done now, the application process for scholarships for this year is over. Applications for scholarships for 1995-96 cannot be filed until Mat year, Wagner said. Any University student can access the service, which Wagner called a "one-stop-shopping kind of place." A student can apply for a search at the Office of Student Aid, 314 Shields, she said. Once the student's information has been entered, the output tells the student who the contacts are, the addresses and any additional information necessary, Wagner said. Results are available at the office within a week, she said, and the University pays for the software, printing and staff. "Some schools will charge a student a minimal fee.
