Vol. 6 No. 24 Capitol Campus Penn State University
Former Chile Ambassador Speaks on Campus
By Robin Matto
"We are the only country in the
world that has the resilience to consider
its history and benefit from it. We are a
society that consumes information at a
furious pace," said former Ambassador
and Journalist Edward M. Korry, at a
Press Conference Thurs., April 28, held
here.
Edward Korry, former ambassador
to Chile and Ethiopia, came to the
Capitol Campus at the request of Dr.
Richard H. Heindel, Professor of
International Affairs, to be a part of the
first Capitol Campus Press Conference.
The format of the conference was to
simulate a White House Press
Conference and U.S. Senate Committee
Hearing. There were 10 representatives
from the local press corps. Mr. Korry
discussed and then answered questions
concerning "The I.T.T. and Lockheed
Scandals--Their Origins."
Korry began the Press Conference
by giving his view of how and when the
I.T.T. and Lockheed scandals began to
interfere with International Politics.
Korry claimed that although President

preparation for a long hot summer.
John Kennedy distrusted multi-national
corporations, he asked David
Rockerfeller In the spring of 63, "to
organize a group of multi-nationals to
support American policies in all of Latin
America. Attorney General Robert
Kennedy legitimized the multi-nationals
passing money to foreign politicians by
integrating members of these business
groups into covert actions of the U.S.
throughout Latin America.
Korry explained that he was
unaware of the United States
government and CIA involvement
attempting to overthrow President
Salvador Allende, through the Chilean
military in 1970. He remained unaware
until 1975 when a Senate Committee
swore him to secrecy and informed him
about what had taken place while he was
ambassador.
This is when Korry decided to "Blow
the whistle." Since this time Korry has
been unable to procure full time
employment in the public service or
journalism fields. He Mrs sokrlitt home

A Note Directed To
Motorcyclists On Grass
During the last several weeks there
has been a significant increase in the
number of motorcycles on campus. As a
result of this increase several questions
have been raised. Like any other motor
vehicle, motorcycles of any type must
meet the requirements for registration
on campus and must be registered. To be
registered a motorcycle must have a
current inspection sticker, current
license plate, and the operator must
have a valid owner's card. In addition,
the bike must be covered by a minimum
of $lO,OOO liability insurance.
Some of the questions about
motorcycles have concerned the use of

them on campus. As with any motor
vechile the operation of motorcycles is
confined to roadways. They may not be
driven across the grass or sidewalks. In
essence, their use is confined only to the
streets on campus. In Meade Heights
there have been several complaints
about misuse of motorcycles. Quite a few
of these complaints have indicated that
they are being driven too fast and that
they are being driven across lawns, etc.
Because these uses endanger not only
the operators but other persons on
campus, they are not permitted.
Likewise, major hazards are created
by those who perform repairs on their
motorcycles near the residences. This
_practice is not permitted because of the
danger of fire, etc. For the same reasons
motorcycles may not be stored in houses
and/or storage sheds.
Specific questions have been raised
about "off road" or "dirt bike" types of
motorcycles. Normally these bikes are
not licensed or inspected. Consequently,
they are not eligible for registration on
campus. Their use is not permitted any
place on campus unless they meet the
requirements for registration and are
registered. Vehicles of this type amy
only be on campus if they are stored on a
registered trailor or in a registered van
or arrangements are made with the
Office of Safety and Security for special
listing. All other aspects of the
regulations governing vehicles pertain
to all types of motorcycles.
Any vehicle, including motorcycles,
which is operated on campus in an unsafe
fashion or a manner which is in violation
of the vehicle code and/or the campus
regulations or which is not registered
subject the operator or owner to state
and/or campus citations or campus
discipline action.
