KNUDSEN Collegian Staff Writer Traffic on College Avenue stag nated Sunday afternoon, allowing a procession of about 2,700 abor tion protesters to march from Hetzel Street to the HUB lawn. The protesters participated in a prayer walk to oppose State Col lege Medidal Services, a Beaver Avenue clinic that administrators said will offer abortion services. The walk, sponsored by repre sentatives of State College and University religious communities and Centre County Citizens Con cerned for Human Life (CCHL), delayed traffic until the mass reached the HUB lawn. "It was very inspiring," said Susan Rogacs, CCHL political edu cation director. The goal of the walk, Rogacs said, was not protest, btit prayer to try to keep the clinic, Suite 210 of the Uni-Mart Building, 477 E. Beaver Ave., from providing abor tions. "We're circumventing man," Rogacs said. "We're going right to the top. It's never wrong to protect the most innocent among us."

"The scholarship is guaranteed or your money back." No one can guarantee that they will get you a grant or scholarship Refund guarantees often have conditions or strings attached. Get refund policies in writing before you pay. 2. "You cant get this information anywhere else." There are many free lists of scholarships. Check with your school o library before you decide to pay someone to do the work for you. 3. "May I have your credit card or bank account number to hold this scholarship?" Do not give out your credit card or bank account number on the phone without getting information in writing first. It may be a set-up for an unauthorized withdrawal. 4. "We'll do all the work" Don't be footed. There is no way around it. You must apply for scholarships or grants yourself. 5. The scholarship will cost some money. Do not pay anyone who claims to be "holding" a scholarship or gran for you. Free money shouldn't cost a thing. 6. "You've been selected" by a 'national foundation' to receive a scholarshil or "You're a finalist . ' in a contest you never entered Before you send money to apply for a scholarship, check it out. Ma sure the foundation or program is legitimate.

Students should be aware of scholarship scam operations By CAMILLE SELDEN Collegian Staff Writer Drop cards that are placed in the pages of textbooks offer to find students money for school, but pay ing someone to find scholarship money might not be a foolproof way to get financial aid. Scholarship search services have taken millions of dollars a year from college students, according to a news release from the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC has sued eight scholar ship search companies in the past year and, according to the news release. The commission is actively pur suing more scholarship search scam operations. These scholarship services charge a fee ranging between $lO and $4OO and falsely guarantee scholarship money to aspiring col- Pittsburgh coach Johnny Majors moved Dorsett from his usual tail back position to the fullback, or upback slot in Pittsburgh's I-for mation. Dorsett took it to the heart of the Lion defense, and he found room to roam. Dorsett, who fin ished his collegiate career with 6,256 rushing yards, ran rampant for 173 yards on 22 carries in the second half. Needless to say, Penn State coach Joe Paterno did not anticipate such a weak response from his defensive line. "They put in the unbalanced line and moved Dorsett up and that Collegian Photos/Tony Ragusea Curtin Hall was secured by restricting access to the building beginning at about 5:30 p.m. Satur day, Albin said, adding that traffic, including media and students, began to increase at about that time. Because Woelbl was a visitor and many of the students he had come in contact with were first-year stu dents, Albin said a relatively small number of students were directly affected by the death. More students would probably be affected by the emotions aroused "We have heard too many horror stories from families who have spent money (on scholarship services)."

Patterson to pay for that information," she St. Aitken said she paid between said. $39.95 and $69.95 to use scholar ship search services for her daugh ter. "I have been victimized," Aitken said. "I had to rescreen scholar ships and write letters to see if she was qualified and pay postage." Aitken said when it comes to finding scholarship money people gave them the cracks to get the yardage inside," Paterno said fol lowing the loss. "I didn't think I'd see him (Dorsett) at fullback. We saw it before but weren't quite good enough to handle it. I didn't think they could run up the gut like that against us." The Lions were able to stave off the talented Pittsburgh offensive unit in the first half, in part due to the play of Lion defensive end Ron Crosby and defensive back Rick Donaldson. Crosby's 13 tackles were tops among Penn State defenders on the evening. And Published independently by students at Penn State by the incident, she added. "It's kind of scary, as a first-year student in particular," she said. Student residents of Curtin Hall who were contacted were not inter ested in discussing the death. Floor and building meetings were held Saturday, Albin said. The University's Center for Psy chological and Counseling Services is tentatively scheduled to meet with building residents tonight, she added. "If we feel like we need it, we'll go on with it," she said of the meeting. For many students, the scholar ship money comes from the univer sity they plan to attend. "In many cases I don't think the scholarship services that charge money offer a good service. They don't really give all scholarships," said Bronwen Wagner, director of Please see SCHOLARSHIP, Page 2. Donaldson's second-quarter inter ception of a Matt Cavanaugh pass intended for Dorsett at the Penn State 8-yard line kept matters close. Crosby, one of the seniors on that deflated Penn State defense, cred ited Dorsett's natural ability for the second-half demise of the Lion defense. "The man accelerates faster than anybody I've ever seen or ever hope to see," Crosby said. "Oh, man, does he get started in a hurry. I'll be glad if I never see that num ber again."
