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. Shown here, from left, are
Mr. John Comitz, teacher; S.Sgt. William Shane, Area Recruiter; Mr. Robert Roese, teacher;

Foreign Exchange Student from Sweden; Oyvind Undheim, Foreign Exchange Student from
Norway.
Goal reached
They surpassed their goal! Two student organizations at Penn State Wilkes-Barre, ‘‘Circle K”’

recently published books, as one of
the best of the public universities
and as one of the “best buys” in
college education.
‘Such recognition that Penn State
ranks among the top universities,
academically as well as athletically,
is always good to read,” com-
mented Dr. James H. 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

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.
