"Flying Saucers ARE Real"- is
the title of an illustrated lecture
to be presented by nuclear
physicist, Stanton T. Friedman at
8 p.m. Wednesday. October 16. in
the RUB Lecture Hall. The
program is being sponsored by
the SUB. The public is invited and
tickets will be available at the
door. Admission is free for
students with Activity Cards, and
is $1 without.
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.

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.

Force data. UFO landings,
humanoids. travel to the stars.

non-believers. etc. His talk will be
followed by a question and
answer session.
