Lions triumph Editor's Note:This is the second of a four-part series recalling the greatest Penn State-Pittsburgh games. This story ranks No. 3 in The Daily Colle gian's top-four Pittsburgh-Penn State clashes of all-time. By ANDREW KREBS Collegian Sports Writer Pittsburgh was a No. 1 team with a 17-game winning streak and a superb quarterback named Dan Marino. Penn State was a No. 7 team with just a one-game winning streak and a soon-to-be legendary coach named Joe Paterno a coach who was looking for his 150th win. In the week leading up to the Nov. 28, 1981 game between the Panthers (10-0) and Nittany Lions (8-2), however, the focus was on the questionable difficulty of Pitts burgh's schedule, and whether it made the Panthers a circumstantial pretender or a legitimate con tender in the race for the national championship. "Our schedule was like going through a hurricane," said Penn State linebacker Chet Parlavecchio the daily announced speaker for the event. The march has already captured the attention of several local student groups, who have already begun planning for the rally. Shawna Riley, Black Caucus' committee chairwoman of Upwardly Mobile African and African-American Women, said Black Caucus is working with the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to charter two buses for the event. Riley said important lessons could be learned through a rally such as this one. "African people need to stick together in sup port of each other," she said. "We need to show support for each other to empower ourselves and further our development together." What happens after the march is what most concerns Elisha Nixon, program specialist for the Multicultural Resource Center. "What concerns me is what gets accom plished after the coming together," Nixon said. "You need to have evidence to show that the in 'Bl football before the game. "Pitt's schedule was like going through a Bermuda sun shower." Nonetheless, it was Pittsburgh that still harbored hopes for a national championship, and it was Penn State which simply was searching for respect and a mile stone for its coach. A pair of Marino scoring drives on the first two Pittsburgh posses sions of the game did not translate into respect. In the first quarter alone, Marino was 9-of-10 for 117 yards and threw two touchdown passes to Dwight Collins. At the end of the first quarter, Pittsburgh had 14 points. Penn State had none. "I never felt we were out of it," Paterno said after the game. "We played tough games against Nebraska and Miami and Alabama and Notre Dame. At the end of the Miami and Alabama games, we were taking it to them." And now, Pittsburgh was taking it to Penn State. On the Panther's third possession of the game, Marino launched a potential game-breaking touch- 111111. M.

With the momentum shifting, Lion quarterback Todd Blackledge led Penn State on an 80-yard scor ing march, which culminated in a two-yard touchdown run by Mike Meade. On the Panthers' next possession Marino was intercepted again this time by Mark Robinson. With the momentum shifted, Blackledge led the team on another 80-yard scoring drive, and the score was knotted at 14 when the teams went into the locker rooms at halftime. On Penn State's first possession of the second half, Lion flanker Kenny Jackson lined up on the right, went in motion to the left and sprinted past Pittsburgh safeties coming together was worthwhile. You need to see that you accomplished something." The theme of working together was echoed by many students who said that when people can unite and work with each other reaching goals becomes easier. Matt Scott (senior-journalism) said it is always good to promote unity and communica tion between groups. "I think iris very important for all groups to get together and be vocal within our society," Scott said. V.C. Conway (graduate-workforce education) said people must unite in small groups before society can unite, and that rallies like this are a good step in the process of coming together. "It is very important for people to come together as a group first," Conway said. "Then those groups can get together easier then indi viduals can. You have to get your own house together before you can fix the houses of oth ers." Collegian Photo/Galen A. Lentz matchup Tom Flynn and Dan Short. Black ledge found him for a 42-yard touchdown reception, and Penn State was quickly ahead 21-14. Three minutes later, Jackson caught a 45-yard touchdown pass from Blackledge for a 28-14 Penn State lead. The Lions didn't look back and scored 20 more points in the half. The Panthers were shutout in the final 30 minutes. "I didn't believe this could hap pen to us," said Pittsburgh's All- American linebacker Sal Sunseri. "I didn't think anyone could score that many points on us." With the 48-14 victory, Penn State earned a trip to the Fiesta Bowl to play No. 8 Southern Cali fornia, and Pittsburgh limped into what was expected to be a national championship game against Geor gia in the Sugar Bowl. Pittsburgh beat Georgia 24-20, but the loss to Penn State squashed any shot at the title. The Panthers finished the season at No. 4. Penn State, after a 26-10 win against USC, was No. 3. And the Lions had won again. Seven named suspects in Diana's By JOCELYN NOVECK Associated Press Writer PARIS A French judge declared seven paparazzi to be manslaughter suspects yester day in the death of Princess Diana, including one aggressive photographer said to have felt the dying princess's pulse while snapping shots of the car wreck. A lawyer for one photograph er dismissed the investigation as "theater justice," a sop to public outrage over the fact Diana, her millionaire boyfriend and their driver were killed while being chased by paparazzi. But an attorney for boyfriend Dodi Fayed's father, Mohammed Al Fayed, said there was "causality" between the photographers' pursuit and the fatal crash, and the elder Fayed was joining the case as a civil party to prove it. Fresh disclosures, however, pointed anew at a combination of deadly factors in Sunday's accident, including the appar ently drunken condition of the driver, a Fayed employee. A Paris newspaper reported chauffeur Henri Paul's blood alcohol level may have been almost four times the legal limit at the time of the crash high er than originally believed. The photographers who went before the judge yesterday, one by one, all had been in custody since being arrested at the crash scene Sunday morning. Judge Herve Stephan placed them under formal investigation for "involuntary homicide" the French equivalent of manslaughter. It does not mean they will necessarily be formal ly charged with any crimes. USG dissolves two departments USG President Jaime Desmond eliminates two departments in an effort to consolidate USG's executive branch. By DAVID EDELSON and TRACEY FOSTER Collegian Staff Writers In an attempt to restructure the Undergraduate Student Govern ment, the departments of Political and International Affairs and Women's Affairs have been elimi nated by USG President Jaime Desmond. The reason for dissolving the two departments, which exist within the executive branch, was because they overlapped the duties of other departments and led to inefficien cy, Desmond said. Desmond pointed out to the USG Senate that, as president, she has the power to create and dissolve executive departments as she sees fit and was acting within the bylaws of the USG Constitution. At the meeting, no senator ques tioned Desmond on her decision to dissolve Women's Affairs, and no one addressed the issue during the open student forum. "My knowledge (of the issue) is that it was created to fill a void," Desmond said. "If you look atthe makeup of the senate recently we have had a lot of women and minorities represented." However, some issued concern about the elimination of the depart ment after the meeting. Published independently by students at Penn State death Princess Diana died in car crash on Sunday They also will be investigated for failing to aid people in dan ger, a crime under the French "Good Samaritan" law requiring onlookers to assist victims of road accidents. All were freed, two on bond. Both involuntary homicide and Good Samaritan violations can be punished by up to five years in prison and fines of almost $lOO,OOO. In central London yesterday, a grieving human tide engulfed St. James's Palace, where Diana's body lay in a chapel closed to the public, as the British monarchy and govern ment prepared for Saturday's grand funeral. The White House announced that first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton will attend on behalf of the United States. Thousands of Britons waited hours to sign books of condo- Please see DIANA, Page 2. Karolyn Hicks, former director of the department of Women's Affairs, said the position is a very important liaison group for other University women's organizations. "For them to dissolve the posi tion now when there is a huge abor tion controversy going on is absurd," Hicks said. The lack of interest shown in the department may have contributed to its elimination, Hicks added. The position was not filled last spring when executive department direc tors were named. Despite the lack of response at the elimination of Women's Affairs, the fate of PIA brought more reaction from students and senators at the meeting. In response to Desmond's deci sion, Steve Roberts, acting director of PIA, said the members of his group would like to remain part of USG. "It was and is still our wish to remain a productive part of USG," Roberts said. "USG's mission, I think, is to benefit the student body as a whole. USG can help PIA and PIA can help USG. I see no reason to throw this mutually beneficial relationship aside." Last year, PIA members voted to secede from USG. After reconsid ering their choice, and internally electing a new director, they reversed their decision and decid ed to remain a department within USG rather than a separate group. The functions performed by PIA could and will be performed by other departments in her adminis tration, Desmond said. Please see USG, Page 2. AP Photo
