Other goals include increasing “enrollment and collaborating more effectively with sister campuses in Hazleton and Scranton. “We need to pull our resources to- gether and expand the opportuni- ties we can provide to this region,” she said. «Hines said a series of partner- ships with businesses, local school districts and other Penn State campuses will be key factors in moving PSU ahead. “I look for- ward to the challenge of moving this campus to a significant role in the community,” she said. "Internally, PSU plans to im- prove its facilities. A capital cam- paign is in the works to improve, enhance and expand, Hines said. .- Hines believes her background in philosophy is an asset to her for this new post. “Philosophy helps you to see the big picture,” said Hines, whose main area of study is social and political philosophy and ethics. “It (philosophy) gives you a very comprehensive world view.” Her background helps her to make appropriate inquiry as to how things ought to be, she said. We's re moving ahead and strengthe ning PSU Wilkes-Barre executive ve officer Hines, who said one of her great her loves in life is to teach, be- lieves her position as executive officer is an extension of that. “As an administrator I am a teacher too,” she said. “But, every day I am learning,” she adds. Hines credits a bright and generous staff for making her transition a nice one. “It's a wonderful community and the advising board has been very helpful.” As she stands on the brink of challenges, Hines is definitely looking forward to doing all she can to help make our local PSU campus all it can be. “There is a very positive mood on campus. We're moving ahead and strength- ening ourselves.” Campus shakeup no big deal for Wilkes-Barre, yet By JESSICA APPOLO Post Staff LEHMAN - Penn State students now have more options for where they can complete their educa- tion within the Penn State Univer- sity system. Tom Robinson, director of de- velopment and university relations at the Lehman campus, says that recent surveys show nearly 50 percent of P.S.U. students would prefer not to transfer to Univer- sity Park to complete degrees. Responding to that desire, Penn State has decided to concentrate its efforts on expanding branch campuses rather than University Park to meet increasing enroll- ment demands. For the first time, U-Park will impose an enrollment cap of 40,000 on incoming stu- dents. The concentration on branch campuses provides the founda- tion for what will be known as the Commonwealth College Plan. Robinson explains the Common- wealth College as a “reorganiza- tion of the Penn State system.” Penn State Wilkes-Barre is one of 12 sites selected to be academi- cally restructured as part of the plan. + Each campus will be affected differently. Some, like Altoona and Abington-Ogontz, will change to four-year colleges. The Schuylkill campus and Penn State, Capitol College, will merge into one col- lege. The Scranton extension (a two-year facility) will be offering a new four-year degree program in business starting in September.

MemorialHwy., Shavertown, PA (675-1191) Penn State Wilkes-Barre is al- ready offering four-year degree programs in Electrical Engineer- ing Technology and Surveying. Pending approval, P.S.U. Wilkes- Barre will be the only location to host a Telecommunications Op- tion. Students who have earned or are in the process of earning an associate degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineer- ing or Telecommunication Tech- nology may now have the option to earn a bachelors degree in Tele- communication Technology. Penn State Wilkes-Barre is hoping to add this option as early as this coming fall. Dr. Mary Hines, thenew C.E.O. of Penn State Wilkes-Barre, took office on July 1. Dr. Hines will oversee operations at Wilkes- Barre as well as work in coordina- tion with the other 11 campuses that comprise the Commonwealth College. Dr. Hines reports that recent studies found interest in programs such as mechanical/ electrical engineering, education and business. Penn State Wilkes- Barre will not be affected immedi- ately by program additions be- cause the Commonwealth College Planis still inits exploratory phase for the next two years. Despite some opposition to the plan from area colleges and uni- versities, Dr. Hines is proud to be a part of a plan that will offer more financial, academic and geo- graphical choices to Pennsylva- nia students. The plan will put a Penn State campus within 30 minutes of 80 percent of Pennsyl- vanians.
