The Latrobe Bulletin 4-24-90 Pg. 3 PennDOT Lists Secretary i Liz Taylor Battling Bout Of Pneumonia ed into intensive care on Friday. "It is serious, but they are really pleased with her progress. She's not well She's not on her deathbed or anything," Ms. Sam said late Monday.

While it is unusual to put a pneumonia patient on a ventilator, it does not mean that person is near death, said Dr. John G. Mohler, a University of Southern California lung disease expert who emphasized he had no direct knowledge of Miss Taylor's condition. Doctors may put a patient on a ventilator simply to restore oxygen in the blood to proper levels if pneumonia-related breathing difficulties have reduced those levels, Mohler said. Latrobe Nun Named Prioress The Benedictine Sisters of Pittsburgh announce the election of Sister Roberta Campbell as Prioress of the community for the next four years.

The prioress elect will replace Sister Michelle Farabaugh, whose term expires in June. Campbell presently serves as coordinator of Campus Ministry and assistant dean of students at St Vincent College, Latrobe. She has also ministered as an educator in various elementary and high schools in the Pittsburgh Diocese, as well as parish liturgist in Ohio. The role of the prioress in a Benedictine community is to interpret, maintain, and preserve the Benedictine charism in the monastery which elects her. The wisdom of the Rule of Benedict establishes that the authority of a Benedictine community is present in the community itself; and is expressed and exercised principally through the prioress.

Campbell will begin her term with emphasis on the process of revitalization, the importance of monasticism, and the continuation of the community's plans to convert the top two floors of the former St. Benedict Academy building into housing units for women in need and their children.

Tuition Will Stay Unchanged Fo WCCC Tuition will remain unchanged at Westmoreland County Community College for the 1990-91 academic year as approved by the college's board of trustees at their Wednesday, April 18 meeting. The board has not raised tuition in three years. The current per credit tuition rate is $39 for Westmoreland County residents, $78 for out-of -county residents and $117 for out-of-state residents.

In addition, the trustees approved laboratory fees for credit courses and tuition rates for non-credit classes between five and 45 hours in length. The board also approved start-up measures for the college's education center in Rostraver Township. The education center will be located on a 4.4 acre site which was donated to WCCC by the Belle Vernon Area School District in January. With grant funds secured by the Westmoreland County Department of Community Affairs, the trustees awarded a contract in the amount of $77,400 to All-States Wrecking Saltsburg, for the demolition of the Lebanon Elementary. School building currently located on the property.

For the site preparation, the board awarded a $111,000 contract to Appalachian Industries, Perry opolis, who will cut the roadway, construct the student parking lots and provide landscape planting, drainage and excavation. Modular units, to be used as classrooms, were also purchased from Guest Trailer, Bridgeville, at a cost of $285,069. The college plans to occupy the facility in early August for the start of fall classes. The board also okayed the construction of a 50-foot long by five-foot high landscaped college sign to be located adjacent to the student parking lot facing Armbrust Road.

Haas, who said her family "also provided her with a great deal of support and encouragement along the way, explained she has strived to separate her professional role from her role as student and dormitory prefect "lean be friendly and still discipline people if necessary," she said.

Like Haas, Miedel believes there are advantages to delaying one's college career. "I think you appreciate it more," she said. "You try harder." Miedel explained that she spent 17 years as a homemaker before returning to the work force. During those years, earning a college degree wasn't even considered. But, it wasn't long after she joined the staff at St Vincent that she decided to take a class or two.

The business management major, who finished her course work in December, said she sometimes became discouraged along the road to her diploma. It was often difficult to handle the demands of classes, a job and raising a family, she said, attributing her perseverance, in part, to her husband and children who were very supportive. "My husband took over a lot of the cooking and my children became much more independent." Three of her children graduated from St. Vincent and Seton Hill college within the time it has taken her to earn her degree. Even though similar joys and frustrations have been shared, she said she felt she had to be their role model as they were for her.

Miedel said she adapted to her hectic schedule, and she is now looking for ways to fill her newly won free time. Despite moments of frustration, her student experience was a good one, and "I'm glad I did it," she said. "I just want to let other people in my position know that it is possible to get a degree by evening classes."

(AP)Millions of ravenous Mormon crickets so big and barbed-legged that they stick in the craw of predator birds have invaded Nevada in the worst infestation since the 1930s, worrying ranchers and farmers. The federal government has joined the battle to protect the region's alfalfa but had to postpone the start of aerial spraying Monday because of rain.

"I got my own guy out there killing crickets because I don't want to wait for the government to help," said Eldon Crawford, a rancher near Golconda whose fields sit below canyons thick with the insects, which can grow to the size of a mouse. "I've had them for the past three years, but this is the worst. I don't know how strong they're going to get. They're just babies now." The insects cover some 700,000 acres in five counties of north-central Nevada in the worst infestation since the '30s, with crickets counted at 100 per square inch in the worst areas, near Winnemucca, said Dick Rowe, coordinator for the Nevada Department of Agriculture's Plant Industry program.
