PAGE TITUSVILLE HERALD, Titusville, Friday, November 6, 1992 Millcreek Twp. Woman Is Co-Producer Of Harvard's Hasty Pudding Theatricals your By KAREN CARPENDO The (Erie) Daily Times ERIE, Pa. (AP) In addition to being the oldest, and perhaps the most prestigious university in the nation. Harvard University through its Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year and Man of the Year awards presents two of the most coveted prizes in the entertainment world. And this year, a young Millcreek woman is at the helm of the multi-faceted organization that grants the awards.

Harvard senior Karla Picardo, 21, is co-producer of Hasty Pudding Theatricals, an organization that for the 145th time next February and March will stage its annual original musical comedy production. And it will award engraved brass pudding pots to a man and a woman the organization deems as having made "a lasting and memorable contribution to the world of entertainment," said Picardo. Last year, the recipient of the Woman of the Year Award was actress-director Jodie Foster. Actor- producer Michael Douglas copped the Man of the Year Award. Past winners of the woman's award have included Lucille Ball, Mary Tyler Moore and Meryl Strecp.

Male winners have included Mikhail Baryshnikov, Bill Murray, and Johnny Carson. Pudding has a history dating back almost to the beginning of our nation. In 1795, several members of the junior class of the then 159-year-old Harvard University organized a secret society with the goal "to cultivate the social affections and cherish the feelings of friendship and patriotism." Like the nation's founders had done less than a decade before, the society framed a constitution. But the society's included the clause: 'The members in alphabetical order shall provide a pot of hasty-pudding for every meeting." The group named itself after its favorite delicacy, and became known as the Hasty Pudding Club. The club eventually rvnlved into two entities, the Hasty Pudding Social Club a group that still exists as a social organization and the nationally known Hasty Pudding Theatricals, which have produced a show almost annually since 1844.

The Theatricals produce a show, known in Cambridge as the "pudding show," with a student cast comprised of eight men playing men's roles and eight men playing women's roles, said Picardo. The exclusively male cast is a valued tradition at the formerly all- male Harvard. "It wouldn't be the pudding show if women were on stage," said Picnrdo. Harvard students compete for the honor of writing the script for the show, which plays to about 15,000 people annually on the Harvard campus, in New York City, and in Pa. Sends First Woman To Congress in 3 Decades By TED DUNCOMBE Associated Press Writer PHILADELPHIA (AP) Although Lynn Yeakel lost her Senate bid in the so-called "Year of the Woman," Pennsylvania is sending its first woman to Congress in nearly three decades.

Democratic newcomer Marjorie Margolies Mezvinsky, a former Emmy-winning NBC correspondent, defeated Republican Jon Fox by less than 1 percentage point Tuesday in Montgomery County's 13th District. The state's three previous congresswomen, all Democrats, were elected after their husbands had died in office. Fox, a Montgomery County commissioner, called Mezvinsky to concede Wednesday afternoon. "He said that he wanted to congratulate me and we had run a good race and he wanted to let me know that the commissioner's office would always be open to me," she said. Mezvinsky also is the first Democrat elected to Congress from Montgomery County since Robert Difen- dcrfcr in 1916.

She succeeds Rep. Lawrence Coughlin, who retired. Mezvinsky is the first Pennsylvania woman to win a seat in Congress since Kathryn E. Granahan took over the Philadelphia district of her husband, William, in 1956, legislative historian Paul Beers said. Mrs.

Granahan served three terms before her district was changed in rcdistricting in 1962. President John F. Kennedy then appointed her U.S. treasurer. Mezvinsky said she thought her campaign message of health care, education, family medical leave and abortion rights made the difference.

"So often you put the message in the bottle and you never know whether people pick it up on the other side, whether it makes it, and it was very clear that this one did," she said. A political analyst said Mezvinsky will have to work hard if she expects to serve more than one term, because she won by a slim margin in a district dominated by the other party at a time when her own party's ticket won the presidency. "This is the classic profile of freshmen who get clobbered when they come up for re-election," Temple University political scientist Robin Kolodny said. "This is going to be a very rough term for her," Kolodny said. "Basically everything she does is going to be grounds for Fox to challenge her on it." But Mezvinsky said she wouldn't let concern about re-election shape her tenure in Congress.

"I think that people voted for me because they thought I was going to hold fast to my ideals and I'm going to," she said. Another former TV reporter, Ron Klink, will go to Congress from the 4th District in western Pennsylvania. The 14-year veteran of KDKA in Pittsburgh buried Republican. Gordon.Johnston and had beaten incumbent U.S. Rep.

Joseph Kolter and two other challengers in the Democratic primary. In other House races, freshman Republican Rep. Rick Santorum overcame a nearly 3-1 Democratic registration edge to win re-election in the 18th District in western Pennsylvania. Two incumbents lost re-election bids: Democrat Peter Kostmayer of Bucks County to Republican Jim Greenwood; and Republican Don Rittcr to Democrat Paul McHalc in the Lchigh Valley. Democrat Austin J.

Murphy of the Monongahcla Valley was rc-clcctcd despite overdrafts at the House bank and his involvement in a federal probe of the House post office. Fifteen-term incumbent Joseph M. McDnde easily won re-election in his Scranton-arca district, despite a federal racketeering indictment against him. And Republican George Gekas coasted to victory in central Pennsylvania, easily outdistancing Democrat Bill Sturges. Democrat Tim Holden of Schuy- Ikill County will bring the number of new Pennsylvania congressmen to five, a sharp change from 1990, when only one incumbent was defeated.

The 21-member delegation also shifts from a one-vote majority for Republicans to a one-vote majority for Democrats. Bermuda, said Picardo. When she returns to campus this month, Picardo and the other officers in Hatiy Pudding will select the winning script out of six that were submitted this year. The cast will be chosen in December, and rehearsals will begin after final exams in January, she said. Hasty Pudding Theatricals will announce the Woman and Man of the Year on Feb.

1. Recipients must agree to come to Cambridge to receive their awards, Picardo said. The officers, she added, already h.ivc a secret list of potential winners. Picardo, a biology major at Harvard and a 1989'graduate of McDowell High School, has been active in the theatrical group since her freshman year, when she helped in the box office. She joined the business office staff the following year, and she managed the box office and mail order ticket sales in her junior year.

In April, she and another co- producer were chosen by their predecessors to lead the group's 1993 production. When she was chosen, Picardo said she was "honored to be a part of such a longstanding tradition." When she realized the gargantuan size of the task ahead of her, she said she "sensed an overwhelming feeling at first, but you case your way out of that. "I'm looking forward to it," she said. "It's a nice way to leave Harvard." Currently, Picardo is helping her parents run the A. Picardo produce stand where she has worked since she was in first grade.

Later, she will return to Harvard to begin what she knows will be a very busy and very memorable senior year, including, she said, a bowl of hasty pudding to be calcn with some very famous celebrities.

WALTERS Forest Co. Home Economist HOW TO HANDLE YOUR OWN COMPLAINT As a consumer you have the right to expect quality products and services at fair prices. If something goes wrong, however, there are things you can do to solve the problem. Here'are handling your own complaint: Identify the problem: Beforeyou complain to a company, be sure to identify the problem, what (if anything) you have already done to resolve it, and decide what you Ihink is a fair settlement. Do you want your money back? Would you want the product exchanged? Gather records: Start a file about your complaint.

Include copies of sales receipts, repair orders, warranties, cancelled checks, and contracts which will back up your complaint and help the company solve your problem. Go back to where you made the purchase: Contact the person who sold you the item or performed the service. Calmly and accurately explain the problem and what action you would like taken. If that person is not helpful, ask for the supervisor or manager and restate your case. A large percentage of consumer problems are resolved at this level.

Chances are, yours will be too. Allow each person you contact time to resolve your problem before contacting another source for assistance. Keep a record of your efforts and include notes about whom you spoke with and what was done about the problem. Save copies of any letters you send to the company as well as letters sent to you. Don't give up: If you are not satisfied with the response, don't giveup.

If the company operates nationally or the product is a national brand call or write a letter to the person responsible for consumer complaints at the company's headquarters. Many companies have toll- free telephone numbers, often printed on the product. Before phoning a company long distance, it might be worthwhile to see if the firm has an "800" number you can dial toll-free. determine this, call "800" directory assistance at 1-800-555-1212. If you're a letter, send your letter to consumer office or to the president of the company.

The prince, unaccompanied by Princess Diana, was greeted in the British colony by Gov. Chris Patten. The couple's visit to South Korea was marred by fresh reports that their marriage is in trouble.

It was the longest time the two have appeared in public together since a summer of speculation that they would separate. They seemed never to talk or glanceat one another during a dozen public appearances in South Korea. On Saturday, the prince is to attend a meeting of business leaders and will tour a park in downtown Hong Kong. cookies will be brought by members for the residents of the Soldiers and Sailors Home in Erie.
