The deadline is April 30, 1989. Adopt-A-School by Dana A. Grudzien Collegian Staff Writer Students from seven different clubs at Penn State-Behrend have "adopted" Diehl Elementary School classes through the Adopt-A-School program. The program began in October with tours of the school by Behrend students and was followed by an official kick-off ceremony in November. In the latter part of December, students from both schools participated in seasonal activities, and in January, coaches Doug Zimmerman, Jenepher Banker and their teams presented a basketball demonstration, followed by classroom interaction in which the coaches and Behrend students stressed the importance of working hard at whatever you do. Behrend Police and Safety officer Todd Allen spoke to the children about general safety and dealing with strangers. During the month of January, the two schools also began a "Penn Pals" project in which the Dartmouth Wins Racial Battle CPS-- A federal judge_ruled •March 23 that Dartmouth did not discriminate against• three white students. The students--Christopher Baldwin, John Sutter and John Quilhot-- had charged Dartmouth President James Freedman was biased against them as with the people, and thus favored suspending them for their role in a February, 1988, confrontation with music Prof. William Cole. The three students were staffers of the Dartmouth Review, the first and most flamboyant of the conservative newspapers set up by a Washington, D.C., foundation on at least 34 campuses since 1980. After publishing several articles critical of Cole, a black man whom the Review had called "incompetent" and a "Brillo head," the three got in a fight with Cole outside his classroom. A campus disciplinary board found the three guilty of "harassing" Cole, and Dartmouth suspended them. VIDEO USA #3O 4474 BUFFALO RD. ERIE, PA 16510 814-899-5225 FREE LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP Proper I.D.

March was another busy month for the program. The month began with a joint recycling project with Hamot Hospital. The proceeds from the collection of aluminum cans benefited Hamot's burn care patients. On March 9, softball coach Brett Banker, baseball coach Mike Barri, the women's softball team and men's basketball team demonstrated skills and answered questions by the students in in-class discussions. Sarah Rose, Behrend's athletic trainer, taught teachers about diet and exercise during a Wellness Inservice seminar.
