Area youngsters gained a head start in this computer age
when they attended the Computer Camp for Kids at Penn
State-Wilkes-Barre. The weeklong program, sponsored by
the Continuing Education department at the Lehman
campus, provided the children with hands-on experience

Maryellen Nagy of Dallas was
among 200 students from through-
out the state of Pennsylvania who
attended Pennsylvania Free
Enterprise ‘Week at the Pennsyl-
vania State University during
July.
Free Enterprise Week was
| made possible by contributions of
j businesses throughout the state
who provide scholarships for stu-
dents from their respective coun-
ties to participate in the program.
This year, two one-week sessions
were held, from July 10-16 and
July 17-23.
. During the week-long program,
W¥ students learned about the Ameri-
1 can economic system through
activity-oriented learning experi-
ences. At the beginning of each
aa
week students were divided into
‘companies’ guided by company
advisors who are actually execu-
tives ‘on loan’ from businesses
throughout Pennsylvania and who
provided the students with first
hand knowledge of the business
world.
With the help of a computer
simulated management game,
each company developed a strat-
egy to sell its product and make
decisions about promoting, financ-
ing and marketing the product.
The game simulated a business in
operation for two-and-a-half
years.
Prominent business leaders
from across the state participated
in the program as speakers on a
variety of topics. These included
management, production, market-
ing and finance.
This year’s keynote speakers
were Albert F. Duval, Chairman
of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer of Hammermill Paper Co.
in Erie and Samuel A. McCul-
lough, Chief Executive Officer of
American Bank and Trust Co. in
Reading.
Pennsylvania Free Enterprise
Week, now in its fifth year, is
sponsored by the Manufacturers
Association of Erie, the Manufac-
turers’ Association of Delaware
Valley and the Pennsylvania Man-
ufacturers’ Association.
At student at Dallas Senior High
School, Maryellen was sponsored
by the Pennsylvania Manufactur-
ers’ Association Foundation.

College students who agree to
become science and mathematics
teachers may qualify for new student
financial aid, according to Sen.
Raphael Musto.
Musto (D-Luzerne) said the Penn-
sylvania Higher Education Assistance
Agency (PHEAA) has developed
incentives for prospective science and
math teachers and for current teach-
ers. The goal, he said, is to encourage
more math and science students to
become teachers and to allow current
teachers to upgrade their skills.
One program (Scholars in Education
Awards) would pay one-half a stu-
dent’s annual tuition if he or she
agrees to tech math or science in a
Pennsylvania secondary school. Under
a second program, students just grad-
uated from college may qualify for
partial student loan forgiveness for
teaching math and science. The third
program, the Science Teacher Educa-
tion Program (STEP), will offer a
series of in-service programs at six
accredited teaching colleges for ele-
mentary and secondary math and
science teachers and elementary
school administrators.
“PHEAA has made an exceptional
effort to help our state reduce the
shortage of math and science teach-
ers,”’ Musto said. ‘Teachers and col-
lege students can benefit from the
financial aid while school students and
Making shadow boxes
the community will benefit from the
increase in skilled teachers.
“I encourage students to look into
these opportunities.” ’
PHEAA will pick at least 50 out-
standing high school students for its
Scholars in Education Awards Pro-
gram. Choices will be based in part on
a student’s college entrance examina-
tion scores, class rank, and grades.
Awards will range from $1,500 to no
more than $4,400 for the coming aca-
demic year. 7
Students who accept an award must
sign an agreement to teach a year of
mathematics or science in a Pennsyl-
vania school for each year they
receive an award. If a student defaults
on the agreement, he or she must
repay the award plus interest. Stu-
dents must attend a Pennsylvania
college or university with an approved
program in teacher education.
Musto said those schools include
Wilkes. College, King’s College, Mary-
wood College and the University of
Scranton.

gram, 1983 college graduates who
