Site of new entrance
All that remains of the Rec Hall landscape building, below, is dust and dirt. The building was torn down to make way for the new entrance to the University Park campus off of Atherton Street. Curtin Road will be extended to Atherton Street. The new road will go through the parking lot red E and along the north side of Rec Hall, above.

Ice cream social
University students
enrolled in a psychology practicum lead students from Mount Nittany
Middle School, State College, through a team-building activity using
an ice cream social. The social was part of an all-day workshop on building
friendships, dealing with conflict and handling peer pressure. Coordinated
by Jeffrey Parker, associate professor of psychology, the workshop was
part of a practicum, where University students combined learning and
community service.
