-. J bl I l i y ount Nit- tanyea living monument and guardian of an area fondly nicknamed HHappy Valley. Within the shadow of this revered landmark stirs a college WJQLW: town and campus. Isolated from the rest of the A world, the populace created a universe of their own within a seemingly timeless environment. Rich in tradition, spirit, and pride, the University served as a glowing beacon within the valley, to greet re- turning alumni who wished to recapture the evolving tra- ditions that made the Univer- sity unique. Reunions during Homecoming united past tra- ditions with new ideas. Students were now able to attend classes held over 200 DMMMM i i 5' miles; away. A two-way video network linked the University's commonwealth campuseS and united the entire university community, if not in body, at least in mind and in spirit. t Contributing to this spirit, the Lion Ambassa- Wt dors sponsored welcoming celebrations which mm! Tjegalkg students at twn special events. PSUIIideHA ju- t nior Celebration and Be A Part From The Start i pep ralley cheerfully greeted students to Universi- ty Park. Immediately, pride swelled within stu- dents as they began to feel they were an important part of the University and its proud traditions. Blue and white sweatshirts, buttons, and jack- ets worn daily displayed heartfelt pride through- out Happy Valley. Landscape renovations to the Nittany Lion shrine strengthened the respect Felt for the dignified college mascot and for the University. embT-gw , K! Whitby at Hamid ., . ,t 11.

L m2 - nvolvement. Never before had students been so motivated to partici- pate in University events. From the Be A Part From The Start pep rally, sponsored by the Lion Ambassadors to introduce new students to the University and its traditions, to the seniors fare- well on Graduation Day, it was $1351; gijfg by everyone. For the first time, dorm residents joined to es- tablish their own philanthropy. Students living on fourth floor Holmes in North Halls sponsored the First Annual Casino Day, raising $225 for The Second Mile. Not to be outdone, the Greeks also held many successful fundraisers. The Annual Balloon Derby, the Bounce for Beats Marathon, Phi Psi 500, and the IFC Dance Marathon were just a few philanthropies; each eliciting over- whelming response from both students and com- munity as participation and monetary goals were not only met, but exceeded. The Creek community combined its efforts in other areas as well. To- gether with the adminis- tration and the State Col- lege police, they established a new alco- hol policy. Again work- ing with the police, 30 of Dwellings the 52 Fraternities joined forces to combat crime. Crime Watch, started on Homecoming weekend, was an effective attempt to deter weekend vandalv ism and disorderly conduct. Clubs followed in the fraternities footsteps. Al- pha Phi Omega held their 11th Creat University Run Around, and Phi Beta Lambda had their an- nual Soak Your Heart-a-thon. The Blue Band also contributed and shared the spirit which bonded students, faculty, alumni, and community.
