Misericordia plans new student housing College Misericordia plans to break ground for new student housing in March, 1990, said Tom O'Neil, dean of financial and ad- ministrative affairs. The six to 12 townhouse units, housing from 24 to 48 students, may be built in the grove of trees across from the Administration Building, he said. The townhouses should be completed in time for the 1990-91 school year. “We really need the space,” O'Neil noted. “We'll bring the 10 students out of the Lake Street houses, and the rest of the space will house our growing resident population.” Currently, about 430 students live in Misericordia’s three resi- dence halls and two houses on Lake Street. Misericordia’s’ total enrollment is about 1,300 under- graduate, graduate and part-time students. The furnished townhouses, es- timated to cost between $500,000 and one million dollars, will be built from plans the College has had for several years. Each unit will have two floors, a living room, kitchen, four bedrooms and one half baths, for a total of 1,240 square feet. The Buildings and Grounds Committee should decide soon on whether the townhouses will be of pre-fabricated, wooden construc- tion, or a combination masonry- wood construction, O'Neil said. Bids for the project are expected to go out to local and area contrac- tors in January. PENN STATE/NAVY PROGRAM - Dr. Richard Aston, associate professor of biomedical equipment technology at Penn State Wilkes-Barre demonstrates the operation of medical equipment to students in the Navy RAMP program.

Shown with Dr. Aston from left are Cecelia Peters of Sweet Valley; Dave Green of Dallas; Don Gregoire of Owego, N.Y.; Chris Szlucha of Owego, N.Y.; Glen Hill of Dallas. Navy program developed at local Penn State campus The United States Navy and Penn State Wilkes-Barre have teamed up to provide Northeast Pennsylvania with a dynamic and challenging new job opportunity. Penn State Wilkes-Barre is an approved facility for teaching bi- omedical equipment technicians for the Naval Reserve Allied Medi- cal Personnel Program (RAMP). The first class graduated in August after completing their 10-week internship. Developed at the Wilkes-Barre campus, the two-year associate degree program in Biomedical Equipment Technology (BMET), teaches the installation, calibra- tion, preventive maintenance and repair of hospital equipment. There are currently 12 Naval Reserve recruits enrolled in the program. RAMP is an extention of the Sea and Air Mariner (SAM) Program, which pays full tuition and book costs for students when they study certain medical specialties at Navy- . approved institutions. High school graduates and persons about to graduate within the age limits, 17 to 26, are eligible to apply. : For students Chris Szlucha and Dan Gregoire, both of Osego, NY, Hg the Penn State Wilkes-Barre/ RAMP program provided the per- fect opportunity for the high school friends to train together. Their Navy recruiter arranged for them to go to boot camp to- gether in Orlando, Florida, on the buddy system, and now they take class side-by-side in the biomedi- cal lab at the Wilkes-Barre cam- pus. “Don and I have grown up to- gether and it is nice having some- one to go through with you,” said Szlucha. “I love how the faculty here are very accessible,” he added. He plans towork at a Navy hospital for awhile, and then continue his education in aerospace engineer- ing. Graduates of Penn State Wilkes- Barre's BMET program have highly. marketable skills and have close to 100% job placement. According to Margie Esopi, assistant director of Student Programs and Services at the campus, graduates of the program often head hospital bi- omedical equipment departments. She commented that BMETs work in hospitals in almost every com- munity throughout the United States and command the highest starting salary of two-year degree graduates. The Penn State Biomedical Equipment Technology (BMET) degree requires 72 to 75 credits of course and laboratory work, of which 48 are specific requirement in electronics, mechanics, pneu- matics, hydraulics, mathematics and physiology. Bill O'Brian, re- cruiter in charge at the Avoca Recruiting Center, listed RAMP's military obligations as eight weeks of basic training, four weeks of apprenticeship, one weekend of drill per month and an annual two-week period of training duty in the chosen medical specialty. The drills take place within driv- ing distance of the campus and the two weeks of active duty are sched- uled to coincide with an academic break.
