Robert Paranich, assistant profes-
sor of electrical engineering at Penn
State Wilkes-Barre, was rated the
best engineering instructor on any
of Penn State’s 17 commonwealth
campuses scattered throughout the
state. The rating was determined by
a survey of 3,900 former 1982-83
engineering students at all the cam-
puses..
Paranich has taught electrical
engineering and physics at the
Lehman campus for 19 years. He
believes his effectiveness as a
teacher comes largely from spend-
ing a great deal of time outside the
classroom helping his students find
ways to apply what they’ve learned
in class.
He holds a bachelor of science
degree in electrical engineering
from Drexel University and a
master’s degree in physics from
Wilkes College. Paranich resides in
Port Griffith with his wife, Barbara,

Brendan Walsh, Jr. of Dallas, and
his fraternity brother Mike Dignazio
from Pi Kappa Alpha, helped coor-
dinate a recent blood drive at the
University of Pittsburgh. A total of
483 members of Pitt’s Greek sorori-
ties and fraternities donated blood
in the drive. Brendan is a freshman
majoring in biology. He is the son of
Brendan Walsh, Sr. of Dallas.
The blood drive is a part of the
annual Greek Week fundraising
activities which will benefit Eye and
Ear Hospital of Pittsburgh.
The students hope to raise $50,000
which will be used to complete an
eye examination room and an ear,
nose and throat examination room
in the hospital’s ambulatory care
clinic. The clinic provides medical
Planning drive
services for eye, ear, nose and
throat outpatients.
With the theme ‘‘Stop, look, listen.
Help the Pitt Greeks Help Pitts-
burgh’s Eye and Ear Hospital,”
some 3,700 members of Pitt’s 21
fraternities and 16 sororities will
man various street corners in down-
town Pittsburgh and Oakland and
ask for donations from passing
motorists. *
Eye and Ear Hospital is a 172-bed,
facility dedicated to care and treat-
ment of the eye, ear, nose, throat
and related areas. Major research
in these areas is conducted at Eye
and Ear, which also serves as the
teaching unit for these specialties in
the University of Pittsburgh School
of Medicine and other schools of the
health-related professions.

Families today face constant
change. More women are employed
other relatives are unlikely to live
nearby. An aging parent may need
to move in. A self-supporting son or
daughter may return home.
Through all this families may need
support that is often costly or hard
to find. Luzerne County Cooperative
Extension Service has been helping
people help hemselves for 70 years.

The County Extension home econ-
omist, Josephine Kotch, may be
able to help you get the support you
need. She offers workshops on man-
aging mney for those with litle
experience in budgeting. She serves
as the advisor for two chapters of
the Creative Craftsmen in Luzerne
County. Members turn leisure time
activities to supplementary income
for the home.
The extension home economist
has learn-at-home packets for those
whose schedules don’t allow them to
attend workshops. For parents of
inants or toddlers, she has support
groups and learn-at-home services.
A program called “Your New Life
Alone” can help the newly divorced
or widowed to adjust to his or her
new lifestyle.
How can one person offer such
variety? The secret is access to a
network of Penn State faculty who
serve as specialists to the county
extension home economists. These
-specialists develop programs based
on identified county needs and Mrs.
Kotch localizes these for Luzerne
County. This also means that Mrs.
Kotch’s programs are based on
sound research and up-to-date infor-
mation.
All Extension educational pro-
grams are available to residents in
the County and everyone is invited
to participate.
