Eight different players have caught six-pointers this season. Millersville features an awesome running attack spearhead­ ed by junior Marc DeBellis. Rushing for a school-record 275 yards last week, he averages 139.6 yards per game with his 1,256 tallies and 10 scores. Scott Mack (504, 5 TDs) can also carry the load. Quarterback Brad Fickes (59 of 136 for 678 yards, 6 TDs, 9 INTs) runs the show. Kevin Cannon is the 'Ville's top receiver, with 26 grabs for 319 yards and a pair of scores. Fullback Dan Esposito has caught 15 balls for 154 yards out of the backfield. The Game “I realized Umg ago that I needed more advice off the course than on it.

It is a must win for both clubs, if thoughts of a NCAA Division II playoff bid are forthcoming November 14. The contest is sponsored by Pizza Hut. The Records Edinboro enters the fray at 7-2 and 5-1 in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Western Division while Millersville claimed the PSAC Eastern crown last week and stands at 8-1,6-0. The Scots have sandwiched seven consecutive wins in between a pair of losses (Ferris State 23-9, lUP 31-24) in '93. Boro victories have come over Elizabeth City (34-27), Buffalo (28-17), Clarion (28-0), Lock Haven (52-20), Shippensburg (34-17), Cali­ fornia (32-7) and Slippery Rock (41-38). Millersville started 2-1 with wins over Shepherd (38-14) and American International (30-10) before falling to Shippensburg (16-14). They enter Sox Harrison with six straight wins over Bloomsburg (26-0), Kutztown (41-7), West Chester (14-10), East Stroudsburg (20-7), Cheyney (51-6) and Mansfield (32-8). The Defenses The Scots face a stern test for the third consecutive week in DeBellis. Two-time All-American linebacker Jason Perkins (105 tackles, 12 for loss, 6 interceptions) is turning in his best year ever. He has recovered one fumble and has blocked three extra points. Michael Edwards (104, 2 recoveries) is close behind Perkins and has put up all-conference numbers in '93. Bryan Lambert (43) and Rahshahn Alston (58) share time at the other linebacker spot. Up front, end Pat Schuster (68) continues to lead the team with 11 sacks while tackles Russell Cray (73, 8 sacks) and Rob Harmer (45, 6 sacks) and end Devas Simmons (47) will also get the nod. Otha Davidson and Matt Gentile will also get time. The secondary has been steady, led by All-American candi­ dates Steve Russell and Mario Houston. Russell is tied with Perkins with six interceptions and has also been in on 47 stops. Houston has 60 tackles and is tied for the team lead with eight deflections. His 46 career deflections ties for number one on the all-time list. Joining the duo will be free safety Rick Walker (43) and cornerback Marty Williams (49,8 deflections). All-PSAC East choice Scott Martin (DT) leads the Marauder charge. His 16 sacks lead the squad to go along with his 67 stops. End Jes Kaercher (68) is nearby with a dozen sacks. Rick Boyer is the top linebacker with 79 tackles, while secondary mates Derric Currie (38,4 INTs, 7 deflections), Chris Lupp (29, 3 INTs) and Joe Fimple (67,10 deflections) anchor the final line of defense. The Series The Boro has won the last two games, but Marauders hold a 3-2 edge in a series that dates back to 1977. Edinboro's victory margin has been decisive in the past two contests, 28-0 in 1980 and 36-12 last year in Millersville. The Coaches Matching wits with lUP's Frank Cignetti last week, Edin­ boro's Tom Hollman gets another stiff challenge from Millersville's Dr. Gene Carpenter. Hollman, in his sixth season with the Scots, has posted 44 wins against just 18 losses and a tie (.703%) including a 27-7-2 (.778) standard in the rugged PSAC Western Division. Hollman was the 1989 PSAC and East Region coach of the year and has led the Scots to the NCAA playoffs three times. Carpenter, a veteran of 25 years in the coaching ranks, boasts an outstanding 167-70-5 (.700) mark. Twenty-four of those years have been directing the Marauders (159-69-5, .696%). The win over Mansfield last week was Carpenter's 100th in PSAC play Special Teams/Kicking Game/Turnover Ratio The Boro continues to look to All-American punter Gary Lhotsky (39.7 YPP) and placeman Scott Rupert (32-34 PAT, 4-10 FG) to handle the kicking duties. The Marauders count on punter Brandon Lynch (36.2) and All-PSAC East choice Brad Heim (2730 PAT, 11-22 FG) to do the placekicking. Edinboro's Steve Russell is turning out to be one of the coun­ try's top kickoff return specialists (30.5 YPR) while the 'Ville looks to Kevin Cannon who is also strong averaging 29.8 per try. The Scots look to Marcus Griffin (6.4) to return punts while Can­ non has returned one for a score and nets 11.5 per return. The turnover margin is close with the Scots holding a slight edge. Edinboro stands at +10 (31 takeaways, 21 turnovers) while Millersville counters with a +8 (28,20). The Offenses At PNC Bank, the most important measure of our performance is how we perform for you. Just ask one of our customers. PNCBANE. Where Performance Counts 2 Quarterback Jody Dickerson will get his 32nd straight start imder center for the Scots. One of the PSAC's best, he has con­ nected on 102 of 211 passes (48%) for 1,682 yards and carries a 139.0 efficiency rating. Dickerson's 20 touchdown passes is the second most for a single season in Edinboro history. He has tossed just eight interceptions. The ground attack is solidified by tailback Larry Jackson (124.4 yards per game). He has rushed for 100+ yards in five con­ secutive starts and totals 995 markers and six scores on the year. With five yards today, Jackson will become the first Edinboro runner ever to eclipse the 1,000 yard barrier in consecutive sea­ sons (1,218 in '92). Fullback Tom Tedder (27, 89, 4 TDs) leads the way. Up front, tackles Mike Kegarise and Tony Tighe, guards Jere­ my O Day and Det Betti and center Gordie Hitchcock have been solid all year. The Scots' deep receiving corps features Marcus Next Week The question remains . .. who moves on to the NCAA's and who goes home with a very good record?

Go Fighting Scots! Alumni Association 6 Now in his fourteenth year as president of Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, Foster F. Diebold is the fourteenth chief executive officer of the institution of higher learning that has come to acclaim in the last decade as one of Pennsylvania's and the nation's finest. He has brought a vigorous educational and moral lead­ ership, a strengthening of the spirit of community, a clear sense of direction and purpose, and a dimension of multicultural pluralism and diversity Much has been accomplished during President Diebold's tenure. The University has returned to finan­ cial health. Significant facilities and grounds improvements have been achieved, with several of the historic structures on campus restored to their original splendor. Academic programs have been emphasized and improved, with more than 100 degree offerings now available. Enrollment gains have been unprecedented in both numbers and academic quality. International linkages have been established with institutions in sever­ al other countries, and Edinboro Uni­ versity's program for students with disabilities continues to garner acclaim as one of the finest among all colleges and universities in the Unit­ ed States. Widely recognized as a leader in education both here and abroad. President Diebold has posi- Prior to his presidency of Edin­ boro University, President Diebold was president of the University of Alaska from 1977 to 1979. Before that, he was executive secretary to the Board of Regents and special assis­ tant to the president of the University of Alaska Statewide System. From 1969 to 1976, he was director of Development and Planning at Kean College in New Jersey and a member of the graduate faculty at that institu­ tion; and from 1965 to 1969, he was assistant superintendent of the Nep­ tune Township (New Jersey) Public Schools. Recognized for his extensive experience in the field of education management. President Diebold's scholarly achievements in the disci­ pline of applied ethics in higher edu­ cation deserve special mention. The model statement he authored for the American Association of State Col­ leges and Universities, "Ethical Prac­ tices for College Presidents," was unanimously adopted by that profes­ sional organization and published as policy for the chief executives of its nearly 400 member institutions nationwide. It is the first formally adopted ethical practices and policy statement for higher education presi­ dents. For his leadership on an interna­ tional scale and for his many contri­ butions to the advancement of higher education and enrichment of an 7 emerging culture in Pakistan, Presi­ dent Diebold was decorated with prestigious gold medals from three Pakistani universities. The awards for educational eminence were presented during visits to the Edinboro campus by official Pakistani delegations. President Diebold was also hon­ ored by the Government of Pakistan with the awarding of the degree of Doctor of Laws (honoris causa), pre­ sented at the Government House in the City of Karachi. The ceremony was attended by the presidents of the several Pakistani universities holding linkage agreements with Edinboro University, as well as many highranking officials of the Government of Pakistan and U.S. diplomatic offi­ cials. A recently bestowed honor was President Diebold's appointment to the National Committee on U.S.China Relations, the leading national, non-partisan, public affairs organiza­ tion devoted to building constructive and durable relationships between the two countries. The appointment recognized his insight into the Chi­ nese people and his experience with the academic linkage agreement he established with Zibo College in Chi­ na's Shandong Province. Students and scholars have been at Edinboro University under terms of the formal linkage agreement since the 1986-87 academic year. A staunch advocate of a statewide system of public universi­ ties in Pennsylvania, President Diebold supported the enabling legis­ lation for the State System of Higher Education (Act 188 of 1982) and saw the State System come to existence in 1983 as a member of the transition team. He currently serves on the Sys­ tem's Executive Coimcil of Presidents and on the boards of the Pennsylva­ nia Academy for the Profession of Teaching, the Pennsylvania State Ath­ letic Conference, and the Dixon Uni­ versity Center at Harrisburg. Athletic Director James K. McDonald Edinboro University's athletic program was placed under the talent­ ed and aggressive leadership of Jim McDonald in July of 1981. Increased emphasis on fimd raising to provide a sound scholarship foundation has become his top priority while numer­ ous changes and innovations have also keyed the Scots' athletic program imder his direction. Through his efforts more than $5 million has been raised during the past twelve years. The funds generat­ ed by the energetic athletic director's efforts will be used to assist Edinboro's men and women athletes who compete in the Scots sixteen intercol­ legiate sports. In addition to maintaining Edinboro's respected winning tradition in intercollegiate athletics, the former health and physical education profes­ sor has vastly expanded the Universi­ ty's summer activities. Sixty camps were sponsored by the Fighting Scots Booster Club this past summer on the University's campus. Sox Harrison Stadium was the site for the Buffalo Bills-Pittsburgh Steelers first scrimmage, an event the veteran athletic director hopes to bring back to the area each year. The personable athletic director also introduced Edinboro's Hall of Fame program which has evolved into an annual year-ending event to honor present and past athletes.

CATCH THIS DELIVERY! McDonald has been at Edinboro since 1962 and for 12 years served as the Fighting Scot basketball coach (1962-1975) and never experienced a losing season while his teams com­ piled an impressive 181 wins against only 89 losses. During that span, his cagers won four Western Division Pennsylvania Conference crowns, the PC state championship and two Dis­ trict 18 titles that netted trips to the NAIA National Tournament. His teams set 27 University records and made 19 post-season appearances while four of his players were named All-Americans. Prior to accepting his position at Edinboro, McDonald served as assis­ tant basketball coach in Erie, Pa. He is a 1956 graduate of Bridgeport High School in his home town of Bridge­ port, West Virginia. In 1960 he received a degree in chemistry and physical education from West Virginia Wesleyan College and he also holds a master's degree in health from the University of Buffalo. As an imdergraduate, he set nine school records at Wesleyan and was twice voted both AP and UPI basket­ ball All-American. In 1960, he was the second leading scorer in the Unit­ ed States, averaging slightly over 33 points a game, and led his team to the national basketball tournament in Kansas City, Missouri. He was named to the NAIA's All-Toumament Team in 1959 and 1960. In 1966, McDonald was selected Area Eight Coach of the Year by the eastern seaboard coaches and that same year was honored as one of the top ten finalists in the Coach of the Year national poll. McDonald's hon­ ors also include selection to the West Virginia All-Time College Basketball Team and membership in the West Virginia Sports Hall of Fame. As a resident of Edinboro, McDonald has a record of extensive community involvement.

Hav­ ing made the NCAA II playoffs three of the past five years under head coach Tom Hollman, the Edinboro University Fight­ ing Scots have established themselves as one of the nation's top small college pro­ grams. Now may be the time to take the "other step." A playoff quarter finalist in 1990, the Scots' elite eight finish was the pinnacle of the program. But that small taste of post-season success has left the Boro anx­ ious for more. If expectations and 1993 pre-season polls are any indication, this fall may be the year of the Scots. Picked as high as #2 by Football Digest and #9 by Host Communications (NCAA), Edin­ boro has opened the eyes of pollsters with their recent success. But the Boro's pre-season marks will make the opposi­ tion even more determined, thus creating a great challenge for the 1993 Fighting Scots. Coming off their best regular season mark in 21 years, 8-1-1, the Scots, under Hollman, have won 37 of 55 (37-16-2) games including a sparkling 22-6-1 record in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Confer­ ence Western Division. When looking ahead to 1993, the schedule is what con­ cerns the sixth-year mentor the most. "The conference is the conference. There are six tough opponents, any one of which can beat you," Hollman said. "Plus this year, we've added Ferris State (MI) and Elizabeth City (NC) while Buffalo (Division I-AA) and Millersville remain from last year. There will be no easy ones, that's for sure." With ten games slated for '93, five home and five away, the challenge of the "road test" will determine the Scots' play­ off chances. Under Hollman, the Scots boast a 23-3-1 (.870) mark at Sox Harrison Stadium but counter with a 14-13-1 (.518) record on the road. 159 markers and two touchdowns. His 3,217 career passing yards rank him fifth all time on the Edinboro passing list. With the graduation of receivers Brian Heebsh, Paul Stone and Wrentie Martin, David Ashton (17 receptions, 210 yards, 2 touch­ downs) is the Scots' top returning pass catcher. In the backfield, PSAC West player of the year and All-American Larry Jackson returns. The junior topped the PSAC in rushing yards last year with 1,218 while his 17 rushing scores and 19 overall touchdowns were also tops in the confer­ ence. Jackson's touchdowns on the ground were the fourth best ever in con­ ference history. Chris Snyder (30-128-2) is the returning front-runner for the fullback spot along with Tom Tedder (17-68) who is looking to return following knee surgery. Offensive Line All-American Mike Kegarise is one of the best in the country at his tackle position. At 6-7, 300 pounds, Kegarise leads an offensive front which includes tackle Tony Tighe, center Gordie Hitch­ cock and guard Chadd Wallick. The grad­ uation of All-American Scott Nickel and tight end Heebsh leaves some holes to fill. Defensive Line A BREAKDOWN OF PERSONNEL: The Scots return three quarters of their four-man front including 1993 pre­ season All-American tackle Russell Cray (72 tackles, 9 sacks). End Devas Simmons (62 stops, 8 for loss, team high 5 forced fumbles) is also back along with tackle Rob Harmer (48 tackles). Also expected to help along the defensive line will be returnee Otha Davidson (2 sacks, 4 tackles for loss) and Scot heavyweight wrestler Pat Schuster. The graduation of All-American Anthony Ross spells a void for the Scots but David­ son and Schuster are both able replace­ ments. Skill Positions Linebackers With returning starter Jody Dickerson at quarterback, the Scots will be solid under center. Having guided Edinboro to 15 wins in 22 games (15-6-1) since his freshman year, Dickerson is on pace to break every standard in the Edinboro record books. Last year, he tossed for 1,855 yards and 12 scores and rushed for The trio of All-American Jason Perkins, Michael Sims and Mike Edwards return to the second line of defense. Perkins, a pre-season first-team choice by Host Communications and The Sporting News, is back to round out a brilliant career. Currently seventh on the school's 11 all-time hit list with 341 tackles, a year similar to 1992 (135 tackles, 19 for loss) will propel Perkins to second on the career tackle charts. His 30 tackles for loss, not including quarterback sacks, is the most in Edinboro history. Sims had a banner season for a first year player in 1992, finishing fourth on the team with 84 tackles. His ten pass deflections tied for the team high. Edwards was close behind with 70 stops, including four for loss. His three forced fumbles was third best on the squad. Brian Lambert, a reserve last season (12 tackles) is greatly improved and will bat­ tle for a starting spot. Secondary If the Boro has major holes to fill, it is in the defensive backfield. Gone are AllAmericans Michael Barnes and Georj Lewis. The pair combined to start 85 con­ secutive contests with cornerback Lewis penciled in for every one during his 45game career. Returning are defensive back Mario Houston and safety Steve Russell. Hous­ ton had 50 stops, one interception and tied for the team lead with ten pass deflections in '92. Over his career, which began with All-PSAC West Rookie of the Year honors in 1990, Houston has been in on 188 stops, with seven interceptions and 38 deflections. His pass breakup total is second best on the all-time Boro list. Russell has been solid since his freshman campaign, tying for the team lead in interceptions each of his first two seasons. His seven career thefts project him to be Edinboro's all-time leader (13) at career's end. One of his five interceptions last sea­ son was returned 85 yards for a score. Specialties The return of All-American punter Gary Lhotsky adds to an already solid defense. A first-team All-PSAC West choice in 1992, Lhotsky led the conference in yards per punt averaging 40.1. His 133 punts over the past three years have aver­ aged 37.7 ypp. Lhotsky's career best cov­ ered 65 yards against Shippensburg last season. The Scot kicking game is a question mark as Scott Rupert (3-7 field goals and 21 of 27 PATs) tries to recover from a knee injury suffered as a member of the base­ ball team last spring. Go Team!

Hollman came to Edinboro from Ohio Univer­ sity, where he was the defensive coor­ dinator. Hollman, beginning his sixth year, has the Scot program back in the national spotlight. At Edinboro, he has earned 37 wins against just 16 losses and two ties and owns an impressive 22-6-2 slate against the PSAC Western Division. The Scots have advanced to post-season play three of the past five years. Tom Hollman At Edinboro University 1988 5-4-1 1989 9-3 NCAA Playoffs 1990 8-3 NCAA Playoffs 1991 7-4 1992 8-2-1 37-16-2 In 1989, he was named the top coach in the East Region by the National Football Coaches Associa­ tion and also tabbed the top coach in the PSAC West. In 1990, he guided the Scots to their first-ever NCAA II playoff win as Edinboro routed Vir­ ginia Union and advanced to the national quarterfinals. "Edinboro has been a great expe­ rience, and I like the direction of the program," Hollman said. "As a coach, I have been fortu­ nate to coach at many different levels, from high school to Division I. The Division II level here at Edinboro is very appealing to me in relation to my career goals. It is a great feeling to be a head coach at this level." Hollman's educational back­ ground begins with a high school diploma from Memorial High School in St. Mary's, Ohio, followed by his undergraduate degree in education from Ohio Northern University in 1968. Three years later Hollman received his master of science degree in education from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. While at Ohio Northern, Holl­ man was a three-year starter for the football team and a two-year per­ former as a defensive back and offen­ sive end during his junior and senior years. He holds the school record 14 USUALLY SEEN BEFORE OR AFTER FIGHTING SCOTS FOOTBALL GAMES! with 13 career interceptions and earned All-American and All-District honors during the 1966 and 1967 sea­ sons. Hollman also lettered in base­ ball for three years during his stay at Ohio Northern. A chronological look at Holl­ man's coaching career begins in 1968 as an assistant coach at Sidney High School in Sidney, Ohio. From there, Hollman moved on to Greenville High School in Ohio where he became head coach from 1971-73. His Greenville squads posted an impres­ sive 26-2-2 mark during his threeyear stay. Hollman then moved on to Fre­ mont Ross High School as head coach for the 1974 and 1975 seasons, where his squad recorded 15 wins against three setbacks and two ties. Fremont was the Buckeye Conference champ in 1974, imbeaten at 9-0-1. In 1976, Hollman moved on to the collegiate ranks where he was the defensive coordinator for his alma mater at Ohio Northern University. The following year, Hollman accepted the head coach position at Wooster College (OH) and guided his squad to the best four-year record in the school history (24-11-1). In 1981, Hollman took an assis­ tant coaching spot with Ball State University which he held through the 1984 campaign. Then, beginning in 1985 Hollman held the defensive coordinator position at Ohio Univer­ sity. "It has been a very comfortable transition for me," Hollman added.

During that span, Kegarise has blocked for two Harlon Hill finalists and three All-American rurming backs, while helping Edinboro amass nearly 17,000 yards of total offense. He is the son of Steve and Carol Kegarise. Lhotsky has led the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference in punting in each of the last two seasons. His 39.7 yards-perpunt average this year once again tops the conference and ranks among the top 15 nationally. The 1992 PSAC West first team selection and honorable mention All-American is the son of Mar­ garet and Joseph Lhotsky. Macintosh has seen limited action in a Scot imiform, but has contributed with solid special teams play. Last year, he registered his only career catch and continues to provide a reliable backup at the wide receiver spot. Macintosh is the son of Carol and Bill Soule. Mikowicz, the son of Mike and Nancy Mikowicz, has stepped into the tight end spot and hauled in 18 passes for 306 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Equally successful off the field, Mikowicz is an NCAA Post Graduate Scholarship nominee, as well as a nominee for the GTE Academic All-America team with his 3.5+ grade point average. Perkins, a graduate of Geneva (Ohio) High School, is, arguably, one of the greatest defensive players in Boro history. He currently ranks second on the all-time tackle list with 433 and is the all-time leader in stops for loss with 42. Perkins, on his way to being named All-American for the third consecutive season, leads the team in tackles (92) and is tied for the team lead in interceptions (6). Perkins is the son of Cheryl Willard. Russell, like Perkins, will be remembered as one of the alltime greats. Tied for the lead in career interceptions (13), Russell is currently tied for ninth in the nation in interceptions with six. He is also among the conference leaders in kickoff returns, aver­ aging 30.5 yards per return. He returned a kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown against Slippery Rock and is a legitimate All-Ameri­ can candidate. Russell is the son of Marcia Gibson. Simmons, another Pittsburgh native, has been a mainstay on the Scot defensive line for the past two seasons. His 40 tackles rank eighth on the squad and he has also contributed three sacks. He will finish his career with better than 140 stops. Simmons is the son of Devas and Lillian Simmons. Schrimper, a graduate of nearby Fort LeBoeuf High School, had his career cut short by injury. He is helping out as a student coach this season. Prior to this year, he provided depth along the offensive front and saw considerable action in 1992. Schrimper is the son of Clarence and Martha Schrimper. Sparenberg, like Schrimper, had his career shortened by injury. A pre-season favorite to win a starting job along the offen­ sive line before his injury, the two-year letterman has continued to contribute as a student coach. A native of Talbotville, Ontario, Sparenberg is the son of Bill and Shirley Sparenberg. Tedder is a four-year starter at fullback who has cleared the way for one of the coimtry's most potent groimd attacks. A dev­ astating runner and blocker, he has rushed for 527 yards and eight touchdowns on 131 carries. His four touchdowns in 1993 have doubled his career total. He is the son of Yvonne and William Tedder of Pittsburgh. Tighe, who anchors the other tackle opposite Kegarise, is also getting considerable attention from pro scouts, most of them in Canada. A native of Toronto, Tighe has started on both sides of the ball and has helped pave the way for 7,871 yards of total offense in his two years as a starter. He is the son of Tony and Margaret Tighe. There is an old adage that reads "big things come in small packages." That may indeed be true, unless you are talking about the 18 seniors on the Edinboro University football team as every­ thing about them has been large. Since 1990, this outstanding group has posted 32 wins, just 10 losses and a tie, a winning percentage of better than 75 per­ cent. They have made two NCAA Division II playoff appear­ ances and are on the verge of making a third. Today, they make their final appearance at Sox Harrison Stadium, where they have led the Scots to a 15-4 record. "Without question," admits Edinboro head coach Tom Hollman, "a big reason for our success this season, and really since I've been here, has been the leadership provided by our seniors. And this year's group could be the most outstanding, both in terms of leadership ability and maturity." Meet Dave Ashton, Russell Cray, Rob Glus, Rob Harmer, Corey Hill, Gordie Hitchcock, Mario Houston, Mike Kegarise, Gary Lhotsky, Jeff Macintosh, Scott Mikowicz, Jason Perkins, Steve Russell, Devas Simmons, Eric Schrimper, Bill Sparenberg, Tom Tedder and Tony Tighe. Ashton, a graduate of Strong Vincent High School, is tied for second in receptions in 1993 with 19 catches for 267 yards and three touchdowns, including a pair of scores versus lUP. He is a two-year starter that will finish his career with better than 30 receptions and 430 yards. He is the son of Barbara and Gary Cermak. Cray, from Cleveland, Ohio, has been one of the Scots' alltime great defenders. He will finish among the school's leaders in career sacks and tackles for loss. His 61 stops this year are good for fourth on the team and his eight quarterback drops rank sec­ ond. Cray's best performance of this season came against Califor­ nia, a four-sack, 11-tackle effort. He is the son of Leona and Henry Shelton. Erie native Glus had his 1993 campaign cut short by a pre­ season injury, but nonetheless has remained a vital member of this year's squad due to his leadership abilities. Glus has proven to be a stable backup at the wide receiver position and has been a solid special teams contributor. Glus is the son of Karen and Bob Glus. Harmer, a team captain, is a two-year starter who has con­ tributed 39 stops and six quarterback sacks this year. He has also forced and recovered a fumble and currently has 87 total tackles in his tenure. The son of Marlene and David Harmer, Rob is a graduate of Meritvale High School in Chicago, Illinois. Hill, from Miami's Palmetto High School, won the starting tailback job in pre-season and is currently the team's second lead­ ing rusher with 471 yards on 119 carries. In 1993, he strung together three straight 100-yard games and has nearly 550 career yards. He is the son of Mary and Frank Hill. Hitchcock, a native of Andover, Ohio, today makes his 32nd straight appearance at center. A two-year starter, he is a solid pass protector and has led a Scot ground attack to nearly 4,500 yards over the past two seasons. He solidifies an offensive front that has allowed just 12 sacks in the past two seasons. Hitchcock is the son of Gordon and Linda Hitchcock. Houston, from East Cleveland, Ohio, will finish his stay as EUP's all-time leader in pass deflections and will rank among the top 20 tacklers. This year, he is third in tackles with 57, has inter­ cepted a pair of passes, blocked three kicks and has scored a touchdown. The 1990 PSAC West rookie of the year has started every game during his career, a string of 44 straight. He is the son of Denise Houston.

Over the past two years, 45 different student-athletes have earned semester grade point averages of 3.0 or better while eleven current Fighting Scots have cumulative point averages above the mark. Twenty-one football players made up over 25% of the 79 student-athletes and support personnel that were honored last spring for their academic and athletic success. The Scots boasted a pair of academic All-Americans last season as graduating seniors Sean Seibert and Brian Heebsh were recognized as National Scholar-Ath­ letes by the College Football Preview magazine. Seibert earned his political sci­ ence degree in just seven semesters and finished his academic career with a per­ fect 4.0 QPA last fall. Seibert's fame on the field can be measured in leading the Plaid to their only NCAA II playoff win in 1990. Heebsh was named second team All-PSAC West last year for his efforts on the field. Two other Scots deserving special recognition are All-Americans Georj Lewis and Mike Barnes. Combining to start 85 games in the Edinboro defensive backfield during their careers the two­ some were also nominated for the NCAA Minority Post-Graduate Scholarship this past winter by the University. Over the last four years, Lewis started every game for the Boro and graduated in business administration with better than a 3.0 cumulative grade average. 22 H A A A H A H A H 29 12 10 1 0 _0 92 39 38 EUP 9 34 28 28 52 34 32 41 24 282 Ferris State University Elizabeth City St. Univ.

The State System of Higher Education / The state universities spent the first 100 years of existence train­ ing teachers for Pennsylvania's schools. The Normal School Act of 1857 established regional teacher training institutions throughout the Commonwealth. The School Code of 1911 called for the state purchase of all nor­ mal schools, and by 1921 the pre­ sent configuration of 14 state-owned universities was established. The 14 normal schools evolved from state nor­ mal schools, to state teachers col­ leges, to state colleges. On November 12, 1982, Act 188 was signed into law establishing on July 1, 1993 the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Educa­ tion. Thus, the 13 former state colleges joined with Indiana Uni­ versity of Pennsylvania to achieve university status. The universities have a cumulative history of 1,600 years. / There are 14 universities in the State System of Higher Education with three branch campuses and the McKeever Environmental Center. / The total student population among the System universities is 99,850. While 86% of students are from Pennsylvania, they repre­ sent many other states and for­ eign countries. / The total university campus has over 4,000 acres in 19 Pennsylva­ nia counties. Buildings for class­ rooms, residences, administration and student sup­ port number 719. / Collectively the 14 universities offer 225 undergraduate and 98 graduate degree programs, led by 5,500 full-time faculty mem­ bers. First row (L-R): Chris Cowan, Scott Rightsell, Brian Page, Vinnie Pappalardo. Second row (L-R): Bob Geiselhart, Carrie Cornell, George Roberts, Andrea Skibinski, Gary Hanna, Karen Beall, Michele Spurgeon. 40 / An average 75% of undergradu­ ate students receive some form of financial assistance to help meet costs. / Several study abroad programs are available in System universi­ ties. System universities are part of the Pennsylvania Council for International Education, / All the universities support life­ long learning programs through­ out the academic year. Many feature Elderhostel. / Most universities have honors programs, student counseling and career planning, cooperative education, and internship pro­ grams. / System library holdings total more than 5.4 million volumes and 3.5 million periodicals, microforms, and audio materials. / The universities in the State Sys­ tem of Higher Education are fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Sec­ ondary Schools, the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, and several appropriate national professional organizations. / System graduates living in the Commonwealth number over 271,000.
