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

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.

fourth and fifth graders exchange
letters with Behrend students. The
purpose is to help develop
written communication skills.
In February, the students made
Valentines together and sent them
to the Soldiers' and Sailors'
Home.
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

faculty participated in an exercise

Update
Diehl's fourth grade and
Behrend's Honor students joined
efforts in a "school bee." During
the school bee, academic
questions were answered by
Behrend's faculty and students.
Dr. Robert Tauber, associate
professor of education at Behrend,
will survey third and fifth grade
students on their attitudes towards
math and use the results in a
research project.
The Adopt-A-School program
will conclude in April with
soccer demonstration by Penn
State-Behrend and participation in
Diehl school's annual field day
program.
The first grade has been
adopted by Sigma Theta Chi,
grade 2 by Lambda Sigma, grade
3 by Alpha Phi Omega, grades
4/5 by the Association of Black
Collegians, grade 4 by the
Honors Program, grade 5 by the
Commuter Council, and special
education by the Biology Club.
Kindergarten and pre-school are
still open for adoption along with
the grades that have two classes.
