Rain-Thinned Crowd Sees Plenty of Baseball on 'Pack the Park Night'
Aug. 29, 2008 - 12:05 a.m.
A pregame drizzle kept attendance to 1,379 for Penn College's "Pack the Park Night," but those who ventured to Bowman Field watched as the skies cleared ... and saw better than three hours' worth of baseball, a 26-hit marathon than ended with the Williamsport Crosscutters on the wrong end of a 11-7 tally. Fans, part of "College Town Week" with students and employees of Penn College, Lycoming College and Newport Business Institute, were treated to a rendition of the National Anthem by James E. Allhouse, a welding and fabrication engineering technology major from Indiana, and enjoyed a nightful of fun, food, games and giveaways.

Faculty/Staff
Aviation Faculty Receive Flight Instruction in Blimp
Aug. 28, 2008 - 8:48 a.m.
On Tuesday, William P. "Scott" Welch and William F. Stepp – faculty members at Penn College's Lumley Aviation Center in Montoursville – received 45 minutes each of flight instruction in the Goodyear Blimp. The lessons were given in thanks because Welch allowed one of the blimp pilots to fly his helicopter. Both enjoyed the flight, said
Thomas D. Inman, associate professor of avionics, and commented on how slowly the airship responds to the controls. Welch enjoyed the experience so much that he asked how much time would be required to add an airship rating to his commercial pilot license. (The response was discouraging, since commercial blimp pilots must log 1,500 landings before taking the Federal Aviation Administration flight test. That process can take up to a year and a half to complete.)

Penn College Cross Country Coach Cautiously Optimistic
Aug. 26, 2008 - 5:50 p.m.
Penn College cross country teams are coming off one of their best years ever. Wildcat runners Greg Kammerle and Tamara Pavlov captured Penn State University Athletic Conference individual titles. The men’s team swept the top five places in the end-of-the-season conference meet to easily claim its fifth straight conference championship and the women’s squad finished second. In PSUAC meets, the Wildcat men were 28-0, and for the first time in college history they won a nonconference meet, beating a field that included some NCAA Division II and III teams. Pavlov, a sophomore from Lewisburg, returns to lead the Penn College women, and while Kammerle has graduated, six teammates who ran behind him last year return and that has coach Mike Paulhamus cautiously optimistic entering his ninth season. Penn College opens its season Friday evening at the King’s College Invitational.
