"Music, scholarship and lifelong learning are of major importance to our family. We believe that they are an integral part of the University and all three areas are in need of additional funding. With this in mind, I asked that my monthly payroll deduction be divided among three areas: the School of Music, the Schreyer Honors College and Outreach and Cooperative Extension. Our children's college years were enhanced by these units and with additional funds from others I hope that they will continue to benefit other students."

Leathers is assistant director, Penn State Continuing Education, State
College office. A former public school teacher, she joined the University
in 1984.

Scenes from the end of the semester
As temperatures outside climbed
into the mid-80s, classrooms
in Willard Building on the University Park campus became very warm during
finals week. Because of this, Moses Ling, assistant professor of architectural
engineering, had his students move their desks outside for their final
exam in Architectural Engineering 202 -- a class in thermal comfort.
