To the United States Senate
WVashington•February 12—U.S.
Senator Richard S. Schweiker (R-
Pa.), 47, today formally an
nounced his candidacy for re
election to the United States
Senate.
The text of Schweiker's an
nouncement statement follows:
I am today announcing my
candidaty for re-election to the
United - *States Senate from
Pennsylvania.
This will not be a campaign of
lofty priimises or loose pledges.
For I have found that talking is
seldom a substitute for doing.
Instead, I welcome a review by
Pennsylvanias of the independent
judgement I've tried to exercise
in my first term—as the best
measure of what a second term
might bring.. •
In my own review of the past
six years, I find some disap
pointments and some satisfying
accomplishments.
First, three principal disap
pointments come to mind:
Reform in campaign financing
legislation, reform of
Congressional spending
—Betsy Seanor would like to
express her appreciation for all of
the cards, notes and visits she
received during her recent
illness.
—Please be careful not to put the
on campus mail and mail for the
dorms in with the mail to be sent
out. Also, please mark the class
of mail you are sending, as
anything not marked will go out
first class. Printed matter and
book rate are less expensive.
—Dr. L. Eckroat's biographical
data will be included in the 12th
edition of the physical and
biological sciences section of
American Men and Women of
Science. (1974 edition)
—Arno Selco will visit the
University Park Campus on Feb.
23 and 24 to interview the Polish
Playwright Slawomir' Mrozek
for the Behrend College Radio
Series. While at University Park,

and submitted to the newspaper
staff will be printed with the
exception of those that are
repetitions or in poor taste. The
staff reserves the right to correct
procedures, and reform for
pension security. There arE many
other areas where, in my opinion
government is inadequately
serving the people. But in each of
these three areas the Congress
knows what should be done, but
has not done it. It is frustrating
and discouraging.
But the satisfactions have far
outweighed the disappointments.
The Volunteer Army' is in being
and working. Black lung benefits
are now being paid—and coal
mine safety has been improved.
Air-skyjacking has been
dramatically reduced. The cost
cutting suggestion program for
military servicemen and women
has saved the taxpayers over
$728,000,000. Funds to convert
coal to' natural - gas 'and fuel - oil
have been doubled. A significant
start has been made on research
into serious diseases such as
cancer, heart disease and
diabetes. Our involvement in the
Vietnam war is over.
Jam proud to have had a role—
sometimes big, sometimes
small—in each of these and many
Tidbits
Mr. Selco will see the Depart

News Editor
Linda Johnson
Behrend Col l egi an
other developments. I am
grateful to the people of Penn
sylvania for the chance they gave
me to help.
Nothing has been more
satisfying, though, than meeting
the individual needs of Penn
sylvanians 'trying to get their
government to listen, to notice, to
respond. And nothing has
received higher attention in my
office than helping people.
My campaign will try simply to
make this record of six years
available for public review and
judgement. Otherwise as a
candidate I will have only one
objective: to conduct myself and
my campaign with the integrity
every private citizen has the right
to expect of every public servant.
Editor's Opinions
University Park, Pa.,
February—Diane Nottle, the new
editor of the Daily Collegian, the
student newspaper at the Penn
sylvania State University, has
some interesting things to say
about the campus mood these
days.
Diane, who turned 19 in
January, a few days before she
was named one of the youngest
editors in Collegian history, is at
the forefront of the emergence of
a new breed of student—the post-
Vietnam campus opinion leader.
A junior, Diane is one of a few
campus "veteran" VIPs who
have spent an entire college
career during "post-protest"
days. As a college student, she
has never seen a campus
demonstration or disruption.
"I wouldn't call today's
students apathetic at all," she
says, disagreeing with many who
claim students are becoming
more cynical and withdrawn.
In fact, she thinks the students
on campus today might be more.,
"issue-oriented" and better 'in
formed than students were at the
peak of the campus rebellion. And
students are not flocking away
from the "system."
"Students are trying to work
within the system, though they
are often unhappy about what the
system does,'' she says.
Diane feels that students are
concerned about their role in
decision-making. The selection of
a student as a nominee for ap
pointment to the University
Board of Trustees might be the
major issue on campus, she
thinks.
And for those who claim
Watergate has "turned off"
students to the government,
Diane has this observation. She
has found that Watergate has had
a positive effect on students,
heightening their interest in
government and law.
Richard Schweiker seeks re-election.

Reminder From Security
The Safety and Security
Department would like to remind
all students wishing to register
their automobiles for the coming
spring term must have their
registration stub with them upon
registering.
A new system was initiated last
term to make the process of
registering one's car run
smoother with less confusion. One
stipulation was that one must
keep his receipt of payment
which was ,a ticket stub punched
winter term.
The student is to bring this stub
to registration for validation of
his car permit and to receive new
bumper stickers.
