COVER STORY
The University recruits new students
employing an award winning promotional
campaign focused on the theme "going
places. "
That wasn' t Wendy B. Webster's ideabut
it could have been. She's been going
places for years now, as an international
studies major who graduated in May 1989 ..
Along the way, she made quite an
impression. She' s one of the " new
academics" - a Presidential Scholar, an A
student who was named an alternate for a
national Truman Foundation Scholarship
and earned both the Charles and Margaret
Vonada Scholarship and the Michael and
Susan Greenberg Foreign Language Award.
Quite the adventurer, she has travelled
around the world studying in Germany,
Poland and most recently, Taiwan. Not
bad for the product of tiny Audubon,
Pennsylvania (population 1,200).
Somewhere along the way, she found
time to participate in a variety of extracurricular
activities. She served as the German
Club president and was an active
member of both the Badminton Club and
Circle K. As a junior, with the respect of
classmates, faculty and staff members, she
was named a charter member of The
Haven League.
In January 1988, Webster was named the
recipient of the Rotary International Scholarship,
an award presented by the international
service organization which she intends
to use toward her graduate studies abroad.

SPRING AND SUMMER 1989
We have noted in earlier issues the
success of the University in attracting
quality students - students who are
better prepared for college life and its
academic demands. One measure of
this progress, the Scholastic Aptitude
Test scores of incoming freshmen, has
shown steady improvement over the
past five years with this year being no
exception.
The University offers these students
more reasons to attend Lock Haven
than ever before with incentives like
the Presidential Scholars Program, the
new Honors Program, by offering
Board of Governors scholarships and
a wide variety of scholarships and
awards provided through the Lock
Haven University Foundation.
Better than one in every 10
graduates with honors - a 3.5 grade
point average, or better. Students like
James W. Pflugh, Timothy N. Ziegenfuss
and Julie A. Augustine - all
members of the Class of '89.
Many will continue their education
by attending graduate school. May

P RESIDENT CRAIG DEAN WILLIS,
1989 graduates have been accepted into
programs at Purdue University, the
University of Maryland, The Pennsylvania
State University and The Unjversity
of Alaska, to name just several.
The Uruversity offers programs for
students of all ages. During the summer
months, Lock Haven plays host to
Elderhostel - week-long sessions of
rruru courses focused on a particular
area of study for students over the age
of 50. There is the Summer Happening,
where learning is great fun for children
in grades one through six. For juruor
and senior high school students, the
Summer Enrichment Experience is designed
for talented and gifted students.
While the University encourages all
students, there is particular pride in
" the new academics" - those
students who dig in and find learning
a real adventure. The types of
students who make teaching
enriching, rewarding and, yes, fun .
These are students who are involved
and excel not only in the classroom,
but in a variety of activities so impor-

2 PERSPECTIVE: THE NEW ACADEMICS
Viewers of ABC-TV's popular "thirtysomething"
know that yuppie
character Michael and good friend
Gary, a grad uate student, love to trade
insults.
In a scene last season, the two pick
at each other with Gary accusing
Michael of being a daddy (which is
true and certainly not insulting, but
something Gary cannot envision for
himself) - and a quick-witted Michael
responds - "you ... you academic
(again true, certainly not insulting, but
New "Beginnings"
For a Perfect
4.000
When Rachel L. Kelly addressed her
graduating class during commencement
exercises last spring, she spoke
about "Beginnings" - an appropriate
topic for a woman who was soon to
embark on a new and enriching life.
About to marry and just a few
weeks short of beginning her graduate
education, she had outperformed
every student in the class to earn the
distinction of being named the Class
of 1989 valedictorian.
For the achiever with a perfect 4.000
average, graduation did not signal the
end of an academic career, but in fact,
a true beginning.
A health science and athletic training
major while at Lock Haven, she is
now enrolled at Hahnemann College
in Philadelphia as part of a master's
degree program in physical therapy
and reports things are going well.
"I think my background at Lock
Haven helped," she noted adding that
strong study habits developed during
her undergraduate years and the
courses she took helped prepare her
for the challenge of graduate school.
"I did get a 4.000 at Lock Haven, but
I certainly didn't start out with that in
mind."
"I just did the best that I could each
semester and it just kind of happened
one semester at a time."
something Michael often wishes he' d
opted for)!"
They laugh out loud.
There's a new respectability toward
"the academics." They're " in" - not
out ... whistled at during commencement
(which may be viewed as
positive or negative). They're personable,
even popular, and often
viewed as " having it all."
Over the years, we haven't seen
many characters like Gary on TV, but
the show points out the rising

keys to success in the classroom is

popularity of being smart (or at least
having people think you're smart).
Many of America's TV kids have
grown up. They're now in college,
and for the most part, doing well with
the exception of perhaps Mike Seaver,
Denise Huxtable and M allory Keaton.

Penne Horton: Learning Not Limited to a Classroom
When discussing University success
stories, be sure and mention Penne J.
Horton, '89 - an honors graduate and
Presidential Scholar now attending
The Pennsylvania State University
Hershey Medical School studying to
become a doctor.
Horton earned a distinction few
have achieved that of student
representative to the Council of
evaluating and treating athletic injuries.
She also served as a trainer
with the Bald Eagle soccer team, the
Lady Eagle lacrosse team, other
University and area teams.
As a volunteer at Lock Haven
Hospital, she helped in the emergency
room and physical therapy department
before landing an internship
with the Williamsport Hospital Sports
Medicine Center.
Of course, her talents were
recognized by a variety of scholarships
and awards, most recently National
Athletic Trainers Association and
Eastern Athletic Trainers Association
scholarships for her graduate studies.
She admits to keeping her nose in
the books with her new classes but is
not worried about maintaining her
4.000 status.
" A 4.000 should not be everyone's
goal in college," she admits.
"A student should care about
grades because they are important,
but it is just as important to experience
college life."
"College has much more to offer
besides classes."
"A high grade point average, of
course, will help, but so will involvement
in other organizations."
She spent a great deal of her extra
time as a member of the University's
Athletic Training Club, the honorary
society Phi Kappa Phi and in the
fellowship of Christian Athletes as
well as her church choir and bell choir.
She was named to "Who's Who in
American Colleges and Universities."
The daughter of R. Keith and Janice
Kelly of Lock Haven, she reports to

Trustees. As such, she learned a great
deal about the inner workings of the
University, funding and the unique
relationship between the Pennsylvania
State System of Higher
Education, of which Lock Haven
is a part, and the Pennsylvania
legislature.
Penne J. Horton, '89
As president of the Residence Hall
Association - the largest student
organization on campus - she
organized the first Club Haven events
3
to promote alcohol-free, quality entertainment
and activities for students.
A charter member of The Haven
League, the Robertsdale, Pennsylvania,
native was instrumental in raising funds
necessary to initiate the Akeley Hall
beautification project now underway.
THE PRESIDENTIAL
SCHOLARS PROGRAM
The Presidential Scholars Program is one
way to attract academically talented
students - those who, accorcling to University
Foundation Executive Director Lynn J.
Lytle, "stimulate others in the classroom."
High school seniors who would enter
Lock Haven the coming fall and scored a
minimum 1200 on the Scholastic Aptitude
Test are eligible for the program which provides
$1,700 annually for up to eight
semesters when the student maintains a
strict grade point average. Applicants must
rank in the top fifth of their class with school
and community service also considered.
The program, Lytle said, creates a "ripple
effect." Classmates and professors are
challenged by gifted and inquiring
students who demand more from the
academic experience.
The scholarships are enabled through
contributions to the Foundation. For information
on the Presidential Scholars or how
you can help support the program, contact
the Foundation at (717) 893-2293.

Clearfield Center
CLEARFIELD INITIATIVE
IS A REAL
CLASS ACT
Clearfield residents charted the campaign's
progress by watching thermometers like
this one in a downtown location.
Clearfield is a town that was driven to
succeed. To succeed in launching a new
educational enterprise and offer young
people opportunities otherwise not
always available. Courses, to prepare
students for a degree program and for
work in an expanding regional market.
Affordable courses which could be, at
least in part, provided for by this caring
Central Pennsylvania community.
And succeed they did.
Ten months ago, they called on the
University to sit down and discuss the
possibilities. The people of Clearfield,
Ha ven League '90 member Barbara J. Hannah,

of the weekly report luncheons. 11Iey are,

and Robert M. Kurtz, Jr.
lead by Guy A. Graham, '63, executive
director of the Chamber of Commerce
and president of the Clearfield Educational
Foundation, Inc., and University
representatives penned an agreement
allowing high school graduates to take
classes at what is now called the Lock
Haven University Clearfield Center - a
small, renovated former elementary
school with room to grow.
September 5, as 3,100 University students
took to classes, 115 Clearfield
Center students tucked books into their
backpacks and hiked nervously into the
building. For some it was their first college
experience - for others, the first
time they had opened textbooks in many
years. For ali, there was an anxious feeling
to be part of this historical moment.
The former Hillsdale School is now the
Lock Haven University Clearfield Center.
Through the educational foundation,
40 students received $1,000 scholarships
for the first year of study. In less than
four months, the Foundation raised over
$516,000 with the help of an old friend
and public relations pro, Frank Dugan.
The list of campaign organizers and
contributors read like a county who's
who - that grand media man William
T. Ulerich ... and who has done more
for the community than everyone's
good friend Ray S. Walker.
Businessmen like Robert M. Kurtz, Jr.
(Kurtz Brothers), James P. Moore
(County National Bank), attorney Carl
Belin, James Leitzinger (Leitzinger's)th
e list goes on and on.

Alumni like Alta Rowles Ferguson, '15,
Ashley E. Woolridge, '39, Robert W., '62,
and Valerie Peterson Rishel, '61, E. Stewart
Butler, '62 - familiar faces attending
fundraising luncheons and other events.
Guy A. Graham, '63, president of the Clearfield
Educational Foundation, Inc., w as
one of those who lead the drive to bring
higher education to the community.
The Center will offer a variety of lowerdivision,
general education courses. Fullfledged
University faculty members like
Alfred E. Hoberman (chemistry), Audrey
W. Kuhn (mathematics) and Nelson
DeLaven (history) teach the 14 courses
now offered.
Most services available at the Lock
Haven campus are available to Clearfield
Center students. Within the Center, there
is a study lounge and mini-bookstore.
Area businessmen have put together
student discount packages. Seldom-used
extra rooms and attics have turned into
dormers for students, some of whom
come from neighboring counties.
The idea, says Clearfield Area School
District Superintendent Stanley G.
Rakowsky, is to get students into higher
education - to make the difference by
providing quality, affordable educational
opportunities to students in need
and make it readily available.
No doubt, it has worked.
University Admissions Director Joseph
A. Coldren hoped for 30 students at the
onset. The Foundation far surpassed their
goal to raise $400,000. The old Hillsdale
School never looked better - remodeled,
with vertical blinds and air conditioning!
When these people go back to school,
they do it in style - and with a great deal
of donated labor and equipment.
While the people that made this vision
a reality settle down for the first
semester, they plan for a bigger and better
Center - more students, services,
classrooms, more everyth in g.
Clearfield County - what a way to go
back to school!
