There is some asbestos in the
building, as mentioned in the
article. However Lochbaum says it
is used only in a basement
crawlspace-an area off limits for
residents. He added that signs to
that affect were posted, but were
tom down. He also said that the
building has passed safety
spcifications.
Most residents, however, felt
that control of parties was not an
issue. "I feel parties at Kanty aren't
out of control and feel that the
students here do a good job of
controlling them," one resident
said. A fellow resident commented
that "there have been a few
incidents out of control, but usually
they are individuals' self-control
problems rather than the party's."
Lochbaum said alcohol is not
allowed at Kanty although he does
not inspect rooms. He also said
security guards patrol the halls from
6 pm to 3:30 am seven days a
week. When asked about rumors
that the guards attend parties at

Students
Campaign
by Steve Decker
Collegian Staff Writer
The campaigns for presidency,
vice presidency, and congress took
on a local flavor in the wintergrecn
Cafe on November 3. This year,
publicity on campus included not
only posters and brochures but
actual sapeeches, which were
presented by students in Mrs. Cathy
Mester's advanced public speaking
class. "The principle goal was to
have students face the realistic
challenges of speaking in a
different, more difficult setting,"
Mester said.
The student speeches were given
during the noon hour and included
campaign presentations for
presidential candidates Mike
Dukakis and George Bush, Vice-
Presidential hopefuls Lloyd Bentscn
and Dan Quayle, and Congressional
candidates Tom Ridge and George
Elder. "We wanted to contribute to
the education of the campus as a
whole by bringing in the issues,"
said Mester.
Mester, who has organized the
speeches three times in the past six
years, feels that the students "were
able to get much more active in the
political process while facing the
painful reality of speaking up for
something they believed in.”

proof of this, the guards would lose

According to Lochbaum,
residents didn’t want peer
supervision such as the Resident
Assistant program in oq-eampus •
housing. He added that if they got;
any tougher, Kanty may cease to be
a place where students want to live.
Lochbaum also answered some
of the other complaints mentioned
in the article. He said that the heat
is controlled by the residents, but
some residents weren't getting
much heat because they had covered
their registers with clothes,
blocking them. Regarding
complaints of no toilet paper,
Lochbaum said he had tried to
remedy the problem by giving the
resident's each their own roll. He
said he'd looked into getting
locking dispensers to keep the rolls
from being stolen, but had heard
"horror stories" about students
stealing them and "making lamps
out of them."
Responding to the complaints
that the pays phones were often out
of order, Lochbaum said that he was
never aware of any being out of
order for up to a week, as reported
in the Collegian. He said they

his concern that residents learn that

"There have been forty viruses

by Lori Beals

of the rifle bearers breaking through the chill of the air, Behrend’s Drill
Team conducted its final football game Color Guard at Iroquois High

by Drill Team leader Kim Stefurak, who proudly carried the American
