Mr. Friedman is the only space scientist in the country known to be spending full time on UFOs. In 1973, he spoke at 93 colleges in 29 states. His unique professional background includes 14 years of experience in the development of advanced nuclear and space systems such as nuclear air planes, nuclear rockets, fusion rockets, compact nuclear reactors for space and earth bound applications, and the Pioneer 10 Spacecraft now flying out -past Jupiter. His past em ployers include: General Elec tric, Westinghouse, and General Motors, among several. Professional affiliations include the American Nuclear Society. the American Physical Society. the American Institute of Aeronautics, and Astronautics, the Air Force Association. and several UFO groups. He is presently director of the UFO Research Institute of Redondo Beach, California. "After 15 years of study and investigation, I am convinced that Members, Darla Berkey, Mike Hanley and Alan Kirk that none of the students who voted pro or con on the proposed amendment understood the meaning of their votes or its effect on the student body. They. feel that student exposure to the constitution was very poor and the subsequent voting had no real value. The meeting of the Council of Branch Cam pus Student Governments was attended by Dean Bainum. Mike Woods and Barb Jolly. Key topics discussed at the meeting were: All University Day. Transferral of Meal Tickets and the sale of food in the dorms by campus organizations. Ticket orders for the football game on All-University Day (PSU vs. Maryland) must be in this Friday. The price is $2 per person with the game beginning at 1:30 and ending at 4 p.m. The concert, featuring Loggins and Messina will be from 7:30 to 10 p.m. Tickets are $4 per person and orders must be in one week from this Friday. The procedure concerning transfer of meal tickets is as follows: (1) One must obtain his transfer meal ticket at his Branch Campus; (2) Once at University Park, he will be charged 30 cents for breakfast. 35 cents for lunch and 60 cents for dinner. Surveys will be taken in an effort - to garner student attitudes toward the procedure. Questions to be asked: (1) Did you visit UP this weekend: (2) Would you prefer to eat in the cafeteria? According to Dean Lane's computations, if 100 students visit UP each weekend and pays $1.25 per day for meals, in 10 weeks this would mean $lOOO taken in by the University. In three terms, the University would be several thousand dollars richer. UP students visiting Branch Campuses will not pay the extra fees and a motion was made to address a letter to the CBCSG the evidence is overwhelming that Planet Earth is being visited by intelligently controlled vehicles whose origin is off the earth," he said. His _talk will cover five large scale scientific studies of UFOs including the Stanton T. Friedman. nuclear physicist, will be lecturing on flying saucers this coming Wednesday. at 8 p.m. in the Reed Lecture Hall. Thursday, October 10. 1974 voicing opposition. It is the general consensus of Association Members that the proposition is a "ridiculous" one. A single voice. that of Williard Youger. spoke in favor of the situation. Tired of eating stolen food or paying regular cafeteria fees. he believes the action is a step up in Branch Campus and University Park relations. Campus organizations will no longer be allowed to sell food in the dorms as a means of fund raising. Dean DeShong. head of Student Affairs at UP plans to petition President Oswald's office and the CBCSG-also took action by addressing a letter of protest to him. In regard to the situation. Dean Lane thinks that if such a measure is to be an effective one. the University should be more realistic in its funding of Student Activities. The Great Wall of Behrend was a subject of concern also at the meeting this week. Alan Kirk expressed concern about the price of the construction and it is his view that the money could have been spent in other more important areas. But Dean Lane explained that the entrance was approved "perhaps six years ago" as a project. He believes. however, that student input will determine the next construction project. Mentioning his awareness of the "desperate need" for a library i the library is currently located in the Main Activity Room of the RUB). He reminded students that private individuals are not eager to fund state related institutions. Some interesting facts in regards to funding: Erie Hall and the Reed Union Building were both publicly funded: Erie Hall 100 per cent and the Reed Union Building-50 per cent. The Behrend Building was privately funded and the Nick Building was built through SGA funding. infamous Condon Report, Air Force data. UFO landings, humanoids. travel to the stars. the arguments of the educated non-believers. etc. His talk will be followed by a question and answer session.
