Cars enter Nittany Parking Deck
just before 8 a.m. Jan. 8, the first day the new sections of the deck
opened. The cars are going through a new gate that automatically opens
when a magnetic sensor in the ground senses a car on top of it. A second
similar sensor inside the gate triggers the gate to close once the car
clears the gate.

The new sections of the parking
deck feature angled parking and one-way driving, above. Belowt, the expanded
deck has a new look. The deck is located near The Nittany Lion Inn on
the University Park campus. Parking in the deck is reserved for those
holding a Green B permit, those visiting The Nittany Lion Inn, or those
with any-area or floating permits from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through

Youngsters from the fifth-grade
class at Houserville Elementary School in the State College Area School
District practice cleaving the minerals halite and calcite and using
a protractor, above, during a geology field trip that took them to Deike
Building on the University Park campus. The students learned that the
way the minerals cleave is directly related to their chemical structure.
Below: More of the students get a lesson in seismology during the field
trip. The students standing at the front of the class simulated an earthquake
by jumping up and down as hard as they could. The resulting "earthquake"
was recorded on a model seismograph next to the students.

With construction taking place
on both sides of Shortlidge Road, it was only a matter of time before
the University Park road itself was closed. A portion of the road is
out of commission until mid-August to allow for construction of an overhead
pedestrian bridge linking the new Chemistry and Life Science buildings.
An enclosed walkway on the east side of the road allows pedestrians
access through the area.

The Office of Physical Plant reminds those who park on the University Park campus that in the event of accumulating snow, day or night and regardless of the amount, parking is prohibited in all faculty/staff surface lots at University Park from midnight to 7 a.m when "Midnight Clear" is announced. This restriction is necessary to clear lots for plowing and scattering of anti-skid material.
The turtle on the Armillary Sphere in front of Old Main peeks its head out of the snow. The astronomical instrument was a gift of the Class of 1966.
