The graffiti specifically targeted Delta Lambda Phi, which became the university's first gay fraternity last spring. Someone painted the entire rock pink, drew obscene figures, and wrote several derogatory comments directed at the fraternity. Members of the fraternity were shocked and disappointed by the vandalism. "This kind of thing certainly reflects an immature mind," Delta Lambda Phi President Todd Mash-Ia- n said. Mashlan said he doesn't believe that another fraternity was involved. "I have too high of a regard for the other greek organizations at this campus to believe that one of them could be responsible," he said. y Wire years in the heavens, Mir took its list tours around...

Michael Collins, president of the Kent student group, Pride!, said he doesn't think the university will do anything about the graffiti. "There's really nothing they can do," Coilins said. "There's no way to find out who did it." Kameron Keele, the fraternity's vice president, said he wants the university to publicly condemn the action. "I'd just like to see the university recognize that this is going on," Kcele said. "This won't be a onetime deal if the university doesn't do something." Keele added, "If people look at this and say it's not a big deal, it'll only get worse."

Louis Lang, as the sponsor of the bill, known the Higher Education Scholarship Act, which would grant free tuition to Illinois residents who maintain a GPA of 3.0 or better. Scholarships granted by the bill can be applied to both public and private community colleges, coland universities. The leges amount awarded will cover tuition and other mandatory fees. Lang said that while traveling to various Illinois counties he found that the single most important thing citizens requested was help putting their children through college. Although the state provides grants through the Illinois Student Assistance Commission, Lang said more than 80 percent of students do not receive grants. In order to qualify for the scholarship, students must have applied through the commission for all other grants and scholarships they are eligible for. Students may still be granted a scholarship through the Higher Education Scholarship Act if they hold other grants or scholarships. The state will just pay the remaining tuition and fees. frighten lag. Ames, lows 5?

Accountability is built into the bill by requiring each scholarship recipient to maintain a 3.0 GPA. Scholarships must be applied for every year, and in addition to the GPA requirement, students will have to meet the credit-hou- r requirements to graduate in four Lang said. The estimated cost of this new financial aid program is $170 million. Even though Rep. Tom voted for the Berns, bill, one of his concerns was whether the state would be able to afford the program. Lang addressed this concern on the House floor by pointing out that the state has a budget of $50 billion, which is $12 billion more than two years ago. Another concern the bill raised was that faculty may be inclined to inflate students' grades in order to help them keep their scholarships. Berns said he hopes this wouldn't happen. The bill will now go on to the Senate. Last year a similar education bill was passed in the House, but the session ended before it received a Senate vote. PENNSYLVANIASTATE U SUNDAY F.

At the meeting, many members of the Black Caucus, a student group at Penn State, stressed the need for the class, while other students said it was too narrowly defined, only including African Americans' struggle with racism. "Diversity will not go away," said Jamie Adgerson, a senior in business concepts and communication. "We need to deal with it now." Black Caucus President Lakeisha Wolf said the class would help students from different backgrounds understand racism from new perspectives. "There is a problem ton campus that still remains even when you have white students coming from urban areas. They have come to a false understanding about race," she said.
