STRUCTURAL
CHANGE
(Continued from page 1)
Provost Robert E. McDermott,
was now Dressler, in the
administrative reorganization.
Dressler confirmed that
statement and launched into a
lengthy elaboration of the new
administrative set-up.
When McDermott assumed
his duties as campus Provost a
year ago today, he instructed the
various functioning bodies on
campus to be directly
accountable to him, in order
that he may become familiar
with the personnel. The Faculty
reported through Dean Richard
Heindel to McDermott. Other
reporting bodies included the
Graduate School, headed by Dr.
Robert J. Brown, the four
division heads, the Office of
Academic Services, the Library,
Instructional Services and the
Computer Center. Also, the
Business Office, through former
campus ' Director Coleman
Herpel, the Student Affairs
Office, Maintenance, etc. The
Finance Office and Housing and
Food Services, though operating
on the campus, are directly
responsible to the respective
authorities at University Park,
according to Dressler.
In the proposed
reorganization, the functioning
bodies of the campus have been
classified as either "academic"
or "non-academic." In effect, it
is a reversion to a similar set-up
in operation just before
McDermott became Provost. All
"academic" personnel (Division
Heads and Faculty, Dean Brown,
Academic Services, Library,
Instructional Services, and
Computer Services) will be held
directly accountable by Heindel,
who then in turn reports to
McDermott. "Non-academic"
personnel (Student Affairs,
Business Office, Security,
Maintenance, and other
administrative areas) will report
to Dressler, whose immediate
superior is again McDermott.
The Finance Office and Housing
and Food Services still work out
of main campus.
Since January 16, however,
Dean Grimm and the Student
Affairs personnel have been
responsible to Dressler. The
Residence Living Coordinators,
Pat Murphy and Terry
Turnbaugh, have met with
Dressler. Turnbaugh stated that
most of the residence concerns
are based on budgetary matters.
Also, student resident assistants
are temporarily meeting with
Dressler.
In explaining the new
administrative order, he stated
why it is being done. "Dr.
McDermott, with all of his
travelling and the numerous
offices that had to report to
him, found it to be too much.
He felt he was free to delegate
more responsibility to others."
Dressler also discussed the
imminent establishment of an
extensive campus "research
center" and an Advisory Board
of "high powered people"
seeking means to make this
campus financially independent.
In tackling his new job with
relation to the Office of Student
Affairs, he admits he does not
"know what Student Affairs is,
but I'm willing to find out. I
hope you'll accept me."
He added that the new
change of command is being
established to make "things run
smoother and cut down on the
day-to-day problems. " He
expressed a desire for students
to take their problems "through
the chain of command; no end
runs." As if to calm those who
may have their doubts about the
administrative shake-up, he said,
"Nobody gets the ax."
`Operation Contact'
Informs Campus
On Wesnesday, January 17,
"Operation Contact" was aired
on the campus radio station,
WZAP. SGA Senators discussed
issues currently confronting the
campus.
Aaron Spicher was the
moderator for the panel which
included Student Government
Association Senators Michael
Leasher (Jr., Social Science),
David Wolfe (Jr., Engineering),
Judy LePere (Sr., Elementary
Education), and Bob Bonaker -
-Editor of The Capitolist. The
listening audience was able to
phone questions to the panel,
yet only a few people did as
such.
LePere was of the opinion
teacher/course evaluation forms
could be of greater use if made
available to student teachers.
She mentioned her desire in the
context of her experience while
student teaching last fall.
Spicher, Chairman of the SGA
Teacher/Course Evaluation
Committee, explained the reason
the survey was not conducted in
the fall term. The Academic
Services Office was behind
schedule and was not able to
provide him with information
essential to the operation of the
evaluation, such as faculty social
security numbers, Spicher said.
He also informed the audience
that the cost of reproducing
evaluations is phenomenal. For
example, while results from the
spring term, 1972, were being
printed, I received the bill for
the first 25 copies and it
amounted to $lOO. When asked
if he thought the use of a
different computer system other
than University Park, such as
HACC, would reduce costs he
said, "No because computer
costs were not included in the
bill. Those costs are paid by the
different academic programs."
A telephone caller asked the
panel about the current status of
the on-campus pet policy.
Bonaker responded that, as far
as he knew, pets are not allowed
in any campus building, and that
statute was established by main
solution Advocates
lobal Federalism
Re
G
S.J.R. 217 (The Atlantic
Union Resoultion) was passed
by the Senate on October 4,
1972 with no dissenting votes.
The bill was brought to the floor
October 4th by Assistant
Majority Leader Robert Byrd.
The bill was co-sponsored by:
Majority Leader Mike Mansfield,
Minority Leader Hugh Scott,
Senator Gale W. McGee, Senator
John Sherman Cooper.
The Atlantic Union
Resolution "creates a delegation
of 18 eminent U.S. citizens
authorized to organize and
participate in a convention
composed of similar delegations
from 'such North Atlantic
Treaty parliamentary
democracies as desire to join in
the enterprise.'
The convention would have
the purpose of investigating the
possibility of agreement on: A
declaration that the goal of the
peoples of the countries
represented is to transform their
current relationships into a more
effective unity based on federal
principles, a timetable for
74 50 a Ragout
Nostalgia Week
campus. "Thus, the process of
change would have to run
through all the red tape to
University Park and then trickle
back down here."
Bonaker handled another
question about on-campus
drinking. "According to the
pamphlet entitled UNIVERSITY
POLICIES AND RULES FOR
STUDENTS, 1972-73, which
was issued during fall term
registration and from
information supplied me by
Dean Grimm, students may
drink on campus, but with two
basic stipulations. First, they
must be at least 21 years of age,
in compliance with Pennsylvania
law. Second, they may drink
only in the confines of their
room or house."
The mandatory parking fee
was another issue discussed by
the panel. Leasher stressed that
the $7.50, which is paid by
students only (full-time), goes
into a fund "collected from all
the Commonwealth Campuses,
including University Park. The
common fund is used by all the
campuses for the building of
parking lots. Regular road
maintenance, such as snow
removal or repaving, do not
come out of the fund."
Everyone on the panel agreed
the fee was too high and was not
worth the cost, adding that the
additional lot constructed on
campus this past summer is
seldom used by students.
Another topic mentioned
included changes in degree
nomenclature, the printing of a
comprehensive student directory
for general use and the ever
present disgruntlement with
tuition and housing and food
costs. The senators stated that
the SGA is considering those
issues and is conducting
investigations into the problems.
"Operation Contact" is a
bi-weekly program presented on
WZAP in conjunction with the
SGA. The show is directed and
engineered by Ron Snyder.
achieving that objective, and a
commission to assist movement
toward such a goal in stages.
(Specifically, "The convention
would explore the possibility of
transforming NATO into a
federal union. . .") Once
organized, the convention may
invite other parliamentary
democracies to join its
exploratory work."( Text of the
Foreign Relations Committee
Report (92-1255) October 2,
1972).
A similar resolution (H.J.R.
900) was brought before the
House with 118 co-sponsors.
During the last days of the 1972
session, H.J.R. 900 failed to pass
the House Rules Committee by
one vote.
The bill will be reintroduced
in the House January 18, 1973.
Because the vote was so close
and because of the last minute
rush to adjourn Congress, it is
suspected that this time the
Atlantic Union Resolution will
have little trouble getting to the
floor. Once on the floor,
prospects for its passage ara
favorable.

Starring with her is Donald
Sutherland as Mute, a small-town
detective who leads the hunt for
the maniacal killer. His low-key
performance combines dignity
and restraint, perfectly balancing
Miss Fonda's desperate intensity.
Here is a vivid look at
high-priced prostitution, the
depraved fringes of the New York
underworld and a tortured
romance between the two stars,
all heightening the mounting
suspense as the mysterious killer
closes in on his terrified victim.
