The Interfraternity Council's new officers, elected last night, think that looking to the future will help improve fraternity scholastics and increase membership. Association of Residence Hall Students President Scott Payne called a closed Executive Board Committee meeting last night during a break in the scheduled ARHS meeting. Last September when police entered an abandoned building at 720 S. Atherton St., they found teen-agers with marijuana, knives and a .22-caliber rifle. But next Semptember, the same building may be filled with teen-agers chatting at a caf, playing pool or selling handmade crafts. With restructuring efforts in progress, student leaders and administrators are questioning whether it will be successful and where student government should be when the job is done. When the words "student activity fee" pop up on the student government's list of goals, some people think of an unneccessary charge that will suck more money out of students' wallets. But in the 1950s, a successful student activity fee provided the University with one of its most popular buildings. State College Borough Council member R. Thomas Berner will be returning to his council seat after a four-and-a-half month trip to China -- and the deciding vote was his own. Many organizations, student leaders and administrators have supported the Executive Student Action Council's proposed student activity fee, but the one group that has not given its opinion is made up of the people who will foot the bill -- the students.
The usual men's track entourage was significantly smaller, as Penn State sent just a single relay team made up of only four runners to Fairfax, Va., this weekend. The Lions' purpose was simple -- to qualify for the NCAA Championship. They may have done that and more. It's the second week of February and some students' thoughts are turning to plans for spring break --warm, coastal waters, beaches and palm trees. But not the members of the women's indoor track team. When Michael Brennan was a high school freshman, he watched Ty Moore take his fourth state title at the Hershey Park Arena. The young Brennan looked up to him, striving to reach the level of excellence Moore had acheived. The puck squirts free from the crowd of bodies hovering around the net. But there he stands, isolated near the blue line. He quickly approaches the puck like a predator stalking his prey. Icer forward John Farrall makes the kill. My opinion: Michael Weinreb
