N ‘THE DALLAS POST/Wednesday, January 29, 1986 11 Class honored The American Studies class, an honors program at Lake-Lehman High School, was again honored to host.a speaker from the United States War College at Carlisle Barracks, Carlisle, Pennsylvania. This year’s speaker, Colonel Grenier, an instructor and director ofi Middle Eastern Studies at Carlisle War College, lecured and chaired an open question and answer session on the dual topic of ‘Islamic Fundamentalism’’ and ‘‘Terrorism as an Instrument of State Policy." The students have been following current events as part of their class work and have previously discussed both Islamic Fundamentalism and the role of terror in-the world today as part of their weekly assignments. Colonel Grenier's topics were especially apropos for the students considering the recent airport terrorism in Rome and Vienna and the threat of terrorism the West now faces around the world. The American Studies class at Lake-Lehman High School now has a better understanding of a very complex problem facing the world today thanks to the warm sharing on the part of Colonel Grenier and Carlisle War College.

Ryan, execu- tive officer of the Wilkes-Barre Campus. ‘“We were particularly pleased to note that both authors emphasized starting a college career at one of PSU’s regional campuses, such as our own.” Edward B. Fiske, education editor of the New York Times, lists Penn State :in his book: ‘Best Buys in College Education,”” (Random House). He recommends that pros- pective students with an interest in quality ‘‘save even more money by attending one of the two-year (regional) campuses for the first two years. Richard Moll, author of ‘The Public Ivys’’ (Viking Press), includes Penn State among his selection of 17 public colleges and universities which offer excellent educational opportunities at prices considerably below those charged at Ivy League institutions. Moll also recommends attending one of the Commonwealth Cam- puses for two years, then transfer- ring to University Park. His reason was not financial, however, but, rather, to gain a maximum of indi- vidual attention from faculty. Dr. Ryan agrees. ‘Here at the Wilkes-Barre Campus, our student to faculty ratio is just 16 to 1; that’s better than at many high schools and at most privately owned col- leges. The courses are the same as those at University Park and the faculty must meet Penn State’s standards of excellence, so students here really do get off to a good start.” “This campus is particularly proud of its Center for Individual Development which assists all stu- dents, both the traditional ones fresh out of high school and the growing number of older students who want to rethink or redirect their careers.” The Center’s prime function, according to Dr. Ryan, is to assess a student’s career objectives, exist- ing skills and background, then tailor an individual learning pro- gram. “The student becomes an individual on this campus, not one of a large group. The focus is on individual development, gaining the learning experiences necessary for individuals to move from where they are directly into fulfilling careers or on to more advanced education.” The first two years of most of Penn State’s 130 baccalaureate degree majors may be completed at Penn State Wilkes-Barre, said Dr. ning in the fall, a four year baeca- laureate degree in electrical engi- neering design technology would be LEWIS DUNCAN LEWIS DUNCAN LEWIS DUN able to be completed at the campus in Lehman. Dr. Ryan explained that the Wilkes-Barre Campus, like most of the other regional campuses of PSU, was authorized to grant many associate (two year) degrees. How- ever, permission from the Univer- sity to award a four-year (baccalau- reate) degree was recently accorded the Wilkes-Barre Campus as recognition of its outstanding engineering faculty and programs and of its mission to provide for the technology needs of this community. Moll’s criteria in rating the 17 “best” universities included admis- sions ‘selectivity, resources, quality undergraduate experience and importance placed on liberal arts, and image and prestige. 99 reg. $399.99 Chin Up Bars, Vinyl Sweats, REL TR TE RT CRETE A LAL LR EL LEWIS DUNCAN ENTIRE ST OCK OF Gast iron; vinyl; chicme, bumsseLLs rrr mr WANT YOUR PHOTO?
