Keith Kowal,
a freshman at University Park, picks up a paper from the Newspaper Readership
Program rack on the ground floor of the HUB-Robeson Center. The program,
which started at University Park three years ago, expanded this year to
become the largest such program at any university in the nation.

Nice rack
Antlered deer season is winding down, but this buck has nothing to worry about. He's part of the white-tailed deer herd studied at the deer pens on the University Park campus.

Have a seat
The sky is the limit at Beaver Stadium where construction is continuing on the new sky boxes, part of the stadium expansion that will increase seating by 10,000, bringing capacity to approximately 103,500. The project, which also will increase restroom and concession facilities, improve handicapped access, upgrade locker rooms and complete construction of the new scoreboard, is estimated to cost $84 million. The funds come from revenue from the lease of the skyboxes, club seating receipts, ticket sales from the new seats and other contributions. No taxpayer funds are being used to fund the project.

Cynthia Shifter, professor of human development and family studies, displays some of the toys used in a study of sensation-seeking children at University Park. "Aproach-motivated" children are more apt to be exploratory and take risks as opposed to "low-approach children," according to a recent study.

A view from the inside
Workmen take measurements at the windows of the new Hintz Family Alumni Center on the University Park campus. The center will provide welcoming and orientation facilities for visiting alumni and office space for the Penn State Alumni Association. Funds for the project, which will add 30,900 square feet to the existing University House, were raised from private support. Construction is expected to be completed in early 2001. University House was designed by the University's first president, Evan Pugh, in 1864 and has been home to 11 University presidents.
