Although most findings applied to both mothers and fathers, the researchers including Ann Crouter, Penn State professor of human development and family studies, did find some gender differences in parent reactions to conflicts and time spent with their teen children. In this study, fathers were more likely to react punitively to sibling conflict whereas mothers were more likely to let siblings work out their differences. An exception to this pattern was when the pair was an older brother and younger sister. Citizens will be encouraged to voice their concerns and select issues via community surveys that will drive the content of television, radio, newspaper, and Web sites. Penn State's University Health Services requires all first-year students to provide documentation of immunization against measles, mumps and rubella prior to beginning classes.
Accepted documentation includes immunization records from school health records or military records.
University Health Services also recommends that students be vaccinated for hepatitis B, chicken pox and meningococcal meningitis. Vaccines are available at University Health Services at a cost to students.
