IGHACRES COLLEGIAN, JANUARY 17, 1972 --- PAGE TWO
An explanation
for this mess
Two weeks ago, the staff of the Highacres Collegian
had brilliant visions of a full, six-page edition to go to
press today. Many of you will agree that machines play
a big part in our life. Machines are an integral part of the
publishing of the Collegian. However, these monsters
sometimes fight back and instead of helping us as was
their original purpose, theyhinder us.
Such was the case last night as the production staff
labored to make this issue a reality. Plans were made to
go six pages. Then it happened! The IBM machines
broke down with half of the newspaper to be typed.
Solution: cut down the number of pages to four,
squeeze six pages of advertising into four, delete some
unimportant articles, and omit the entire editorial page,
none of which had been typed. (We apologize to Rich
and Mel for this inconvenience.)
The page you are now reading was meant to be page
five while page six now appears as page four.
We hope everyone will understand. In closing we
might add that we believe in the adage, "Quality—not
quantity." We also believe in quitting while we're ahead.

What is this bell, this marked sign,
What is it for - I ask of you.
Throughout each class, it rings in
my ears
I beckon you - - What does it do?
It marks the midpoint of a task
It's distribution shown at last
The class reads high - - I hear them
Oh Damn - - I'm on the lower scale
So now I know about the bell,
To them it means their doing well,
Though I sit here.... I begin to
There must be a way to beat that
As classes pass, I blaise my book
Absorbed its pages - but time it
took. .
My final shows I have done well.
Cool it Me 1.... I've just beaten that
curse'd bell:

Singer Gene Farmer here Feb. 15
Gene Farmer, who can very aptly
be called a contemporary
troubadour-court jester at large, will
appear here on Tuesday, Feb. 15 at
8:00 p.m. under the sponsorship of the
Student Union Board in an entertaining
program called "A Laughing Look at
Life" which is part talk, part son, part
nonsense and all parts hilariously funny.
Gene Farmer's career has ranged
from high school drop-out at age 17 to
college professor at age 37 to comedy
writer for two of the most popular
variety shows on television - the
Smothers Brothers and Laugh In, for
which there have been three Emmy
nominations for best music, comedy
and variety writing category.
Gene spent his formative years in a
state orphanage at Normal, Illinois and
COP PASSES RESOLUTION
continued from first page
111-D-8 concerning the student
publication and distribution of
printed media on campus find
it against the student's interest
to restrict any type of
publication developed by the
students by the manner of
restricting the outlets of these
publications. Our position is
that we intend to recommend
to Dr. Oswald and the Senate
our views concerning this issue
and our resolution to delete by
all our means those sections of
the policy which restrict any
type of student publications.
Those sections of restriction
sahll be decided by a
subcommittee of the Council
of Presidents in which no less
than six members of the COP
shall be represented. The
subcommittee will meet at the
next COP meeting (Jan. 22).
These recommenditions by the
subcommittee must meet a
majority of the entire COP."
APS NEWS RELEASE
"The presidents defeated a
Hazleton proposal concerning
restrictions on student freedom
of expression. Hazleton
President Paul Yanoshik cited
an incident at the Hazleton
Campus in which a
non-chartered organization was
blocked from distributing a
publication on campus.
"Yanoshik argued that
Senate rule HI-D-8, which
provides that 'printed material
published by students of the
Pennsylvania State University
may be sold on campus only if
it is published or sold by a
chartered student organization,
is a violation of student's
rights. The Hazleton SGA also
said it objects to another
section which states that
`publications not produced or
published by chartered student
organizations may be sold or
distributed on campuses of the

one change of underwear and a bowie
knife he hitchhiked toward St. Louis to

apprehended by the authorities and
placed on a soy bean farm to work out
room and board. At 17 he joined the
'Marine Corps, apt ained the rank • of
Sergeant and bebame a Korean War. •
Upon hiS discharge four years

Stanford University.

Stanford he engaged in some criminal
investigation work for defense attorneys

locations authorized by the
Office of Student Affairs."
MEMO TO PRESIDENTS:
"In concern with our
position on the senate Policy ...
It was the impression of the
meeting on Dec. 4 that the
resolution was passed. We were
much distressed to find the
APS news release saying the
resolution had failed. It is up
to whom for the spread of such
contradictory information?
"It is up to us as leaders of
our students to protect our
rights in whatever way it may
be possible. I'm sure you agree
that this restricting policy is
against student interest. If all
we can do is express our
dissatisfaction with this policy
and hope the President listens
we should at least attempt to
do this. We at Hazleton
Campus urge you to take a
45 4.4..
Letter to the Editor
Editor, The Collegian:
The women's volleyball
teams would like to express
their appreciation to Mrs.
Hoffman, since she was
responsible for organizing the
teams and her coaching
enabled us to make the fine
showing we did at Scranton.
We hope she keeps up the good
work and continues to
promote women's athletics at
the Hazleton Campus.
Women's Volleyball Teams
good look at the resolution
which was passed and form
some kind of opinion on it. It's
time to make decisions and
stop being so lax when the
protection of student rights are
at stake."

The following article is an excerpt from ThrDt*% Rust y
John Dominick. Written by an ex-law student who was busted bn
drug charges, the purpose of the book, says Dominick, "is /o
reduce fear by providing information about the drug laws, , qte
cops, the narcs, and the courts." What follows is an explanation
of when a cop can legally make a search or an arrest, and some
practical information about what goes on in the street, and how
to protect yourself if you get hassled.

Limited Area of the Search
When a policeman is making a search with a
warrant, the area he is authorized to investigate is
clearly defined K on the warrant. In regard to
searches made without warrants—incident to an
arrest—the area a policeman can search is limited.
In federal court and most states, the police can only
search the room of the house in which the
defendant is arrested.
If the defendant is arrested in his car the police
are allowed to search the interior of the car.
However, in most jurisdictions they are not allowed
to search the trunk without first acquiring a
warrant.
The defendant, upon being arrested, should
not take any action that might be construed by a
court as consent to an extension of the search. If the
defendant is asked to unlock a room or a trunk he
should request to see a search warrant. If a demand
is made to open up the room the defendant would
be wise to be as passive as possible. If a policeman
breaks (lima a d►o►r, it lieeomes difficult for him to
he about consent or state he saw the illegal drug
beton. he entered the room.
In view of the limited area doctrine, where a
defendant is arrested often becomes an important
matter in a trial. Utiless the defendant is arrested
in his house, the police cannot .search it. If the
defendant sees the police approaching, he can
avoid having his house searched by stepping
outside and meeting them in the street. The police
do not have grounds to search a defendant'slouse
unless he is arrested there. The fact 't hat a person is
arrested Inr possession or ; sale of a drug is not
sufficient grounds for the police to acquire a search
warrant for the defendant's home.
The federal authorities pay particular
attention to the laws governing searches and
arrests, State and local police are more eager to
make arrests and are far less concerned with
- technicalities." They frequently make illegal
searches of . cars, houses, and persons. Many cases
are dismissed eachyear because the police acted
illegally. Fur this reason, an understanding of the
laws governing searches and arrests is important.
However, the reader should not make the mistake
of allowing knowledge of the law to become a
substitute for common-sense pricalaidn:s to avoid
;detection.
Stop-and-Frisk Law
Recently many states have passed Atop-and
frisk laws. Under this statute a policeman can
stop and question anyone on the street if he has
"reasonable cause to believe his behavior
warrants further investigation for criminal ac
tivity." And if he "has reasonable cause to
believe there is danger to himself and/or others"
he may conduct a limited search for dangerous
weapons.
In practice, police stop and question young
people whenever they feel like it. When harassed
by a cop on the street, a person would be wise
to assume an attitude of friendly cooperation.
If asked, a person should show his identification.
He should answer all questions politely since any ,
affront to the officer's ego is bound to result in
further harassment.
If a person is searched on the street and
dope is found, the defendant can challenge the
legality of the search in court. In order for the
search to be justified under the stop-and-frisk
law, the. officer Must show he had reasonable
cause to believe the defendant ' had a weapon.
Many cases involving the, stop-and-frisk law
are dismissed for lack of evidence because the
policeman was unable to convince the judge that
he had "reasonable cause" to make the
search,.
