Screwed Again?

On Friday, May 30th the
Pennsylvania State Univer
sity Board of Trustees will
meet. Among the various
points on the agenda is the
inclusion of PENN Pirg into
the PSU system. This is of
major importance to those
students associated with the
Pirg movement for, if the
board approves the Pirg
referendum, it will then
allow for the collection of
Pirg donations during class
registration. This will
provide the required capital
for the hiring of the
professional staff, the pur
chase of office equipment,
and the funds for student
research projects.
As of this writing the
required fifty per cent
petitioning of student sig
natures for the entire
university system has been
met, of which well over 900
were submitted from C.C.
(At main campus during the
initial drive a record 5500
signatures were amassed in
three days). However, as
one member of the PSU
Capitol Campus PENN Pirg
ad hoc Committee pointed
out, The battle is not won
yet. Last year at Pitt, the
Pirg Movement was initiat
ed, however, although over
fifty percent of the student
population supported its
conception, it was still
defeated by the board." As
he explained, “the board
simply waited until the
students left for summer
break, then since there was
no one on campus to
protest, dismissed Pirg.”
Interestingly, perhaps we
see the same tactic being
used at PSU. After all main
campus is at this time
virtually devoid of student
life. We are sure that certain
administrators are well
aware of the impact that a
self-funded legally respon
sive student activist move
depending on their own
inclination. The sweet smell
of marijuana pervaded the air
and countless empty bottles
and cans of beer littered the
concert site.
Throughout the day, good
times were the rule rather
than the exception. Roam
ing. among the crowd was a
sheep, a goat and monkey
riding on a dog’s back.
Picnic lunches were spread
out on blankets and even the
aroma of a steak sizzling
over a charcoal fire did not
escape this writer’s nose.
An enterprising entrepre
neur set up a table towards
the rear of the huge crowd
hawking his wares, hand
carved pipes. Copies of the
ment on campus can have,
not only on campus but on
the legislators who provide
funding for the university.
We are not implying that
there exists any corruption
within either the PSU system
or the state legislature, but
without mechanisms of'
investigation such as PENN
Pirg, we, the public, will
never know - even adminis
trators realize this. Thus
PENN Pirg is appealing to
any concerned students to
attend the board meeting
and voice their approval of
Pirg. Capitol Campus will be
represented by several
members of the ad hoc
committee.
Recently, a student at PSU
found herself paying $45.00
for three $l.OO campus
parking fines. This seemed
outrageous, thus we investi
gated.
Within a seven day period
she received three tickets.
Not realizing the grave
consequences involved, she
waited until the ninth day
after the second ticket was
issued to pay the fines.
However, when she attempt
ed to do this, she was told
that since the car was not
registered in her name, the
wheels of bureaucracy had
already been set in motion
and the district justice was
about to earn his $15.00 in
court costs (for three
tickets.) Although this is in
clear violation of the 10 day
grace period (for two of the
tickets) outlined on the
tickets, it was never-the-less
impossible to intervene in
the system. Hence, $45.00
and another student gets
walked on.
Much has been written
concerning the parking j
controversy, however, few i
facts have as yet been
presented. With this in mind
we interviewed Chief Paul
and Mr. Dressier. ]

spreading the truth about the

As the concert entered its
fourth hour, reports of bad
drugs circulating in the
crowd reached Head Shop,
Capitol’s drug and crisis
intervention team which
assembled especially for the
festival. Several cases of
THC overdoses were handled
at the first aid station with at
least one case requiring
attention at the Milton S.
Hershey Medical Center.
At this point, Head Shop
officials consulted with
Lower Swatara police and
Campus Security on pos
sible ways to intervene on
the bad drug situation. A
decision was reached
whereby the alleged pusher
would be under surveillance
by Head Shop until a ‘buy’
was witnessed. Eventually
however, the alleged pusher
was escorted off campus
