information about career choices,
job search strategies, and educa-
tional opportunities including sched-
ule palnning, admission procedures,
financial aid, and job placement.
Lynn Morgan, evening counselor
at Penn State Wilkes-Barre, is coor-
dinating the activities. “This is an
extension of the free and confiden-
tial services offered to adults every
Tuesday and Thursday evening on
the campus in Lehman,” she said.
‘She pointed out that close to 30
percent of those studying at Penn
State Wilkes-Barre are older than
the fresh-out-of-high school ‘“‘tradi-
tional” college student. The Center
for Individual Development pro-
vides services to this group and the
returning adults even have their
own campus support group called
“TNT” (Typical Non-Traditional),
she said.
Many of the myths and miscon-
ceptions about adult students are
easily dispelled, said Morgan. She
noted that many of them are seek-
ing degrees, the largest number in
two-year associate degree pro-
grams.

PEOPLE OF ALL AGES who like
to roller skate and are in good
physical condition are invited to a
marathon roller skating event on
December 23, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.
The marathon will benefit Big Sis-
ters-Big Brothers agency and will
take place at the Roller King Skat-
ing Center, Kingston. The Penn
State Wilkes-Barre Circle K Club is
organizing the marathon as one of a
year’s series of activities in con-
junction with the agency.
Circle K clubs at all colleges in
the area, and Key Clubs at all high
schools in th area have been co
the Penn State Circle K. Anyone
who wants a pledge sheet to partici-
pate may contact Chris at Penn
State. Other members of his com-
mittee are Bob Naugle, Wilkes-
Barre; Judy Legg, Hughestown,
Forlenza, Wyoming; Claudia Fron-
zoni, West Pittston; Lisa Ann Golu-
biewski, Plains; and Gloria Ceccoli,
Parsons.
Anyone who arrives at the begin-
ning of the marathon with a mini-
mum of $10 worth of pledges will be
allowed free admission and free
skate rental.
Each year, Penn State’s Circle K
selects one non-profit agency to
work with, and this year the club
already raised $100 for Big Sisters-
Big Brothers in November with a
fund-raiser for Hooters Concert tick-
ets. Also, Circle K members from
Penn State attended an agency Hal-
loween party for the little sisters
and little brothers and helped with
entertainment and companionship.
Chris said college students seldom
have time to give to the required
training and constant attendance
needed for a little sister or little
brother, but that by participating in
certain activities and helping to
raise money, the college students
have found a way to be of service.
THE WILKES COLLEGE
CIRCLE K CLUB will conduct its
annual Santa-on-Wheels program
from Thursday, Dec. 19 through
Tuesday, Dec. 24. The Wilkes Col-
lege division of this international
service organization has designed
the program to bring a touch of
Christmas to area children.
Through Santa-on-Wheels, local
hospitals, day care centers and
other institutions can receive a visit
from Santa and his elves. The pro-
gram has been successful for sev-
eral years, getting support from the
community, business, and the orga-
nizations which it serves. Parties
Santa, or businesses wishing to sup-
port Santa-on-Wheels, are urged to
contact Debbie Pavlico or Michelle
