Penn State Intercom......October
25, 2001
This Victorian mansion was built
in 1900 by John E. DuBois Sr. for his two sisters. The house was acquired
by Penn State DuBois in 1998. The house, which has been named Symmco
House, is being renovated and will be used as an administrative center.
This statue personifying hope marks
the burial site of John DuBois on Monument Hill. Penn State DuBois acquired
the property in 1998 and is developing eight acres of the site as a recreational
area for students and the community.
New to the Penn State DuBois campus is a Nittany Lion Shrine.
The intersection
of Pollock Road and North Atherton Street on the University Park campus
will close permanently on Oct. 31 for construction of the IST Building.

Searching for solutions
The Oct. 17 campus/community
session of the Public Issues Forums of Centre County dealt with dangerous
drinking and was attended by more than 100 people interested in addressing
the possibilities for demanding citizen responsibility, treating the
public health epidemic and educating for societal change. The event
was presented in the HUB-Robeson Center on the University Park campus
by State College Area School District Community Education in association
with the Centre Daily
Times. Above, Bill
Asbury, left, vice president for student affairs, was seated with Isaiah
J. Poole, opinion page editor of the Centre
Daily Times, at the start
of the forum. Below, participants were shown a video on drinking
before they broke into smaller groups for discussions. Bottom photo,
