YOUR LIFE...
may depend on how you answer the
following question:
1978 (will be, will not be) the Year of
Disarmament in the U.S. and the world.
In the early 40's, the decision to build the atom
bomb was made in deep secret by a
handful of scientists, politicians and military
men. In doing so, they changed the world.
In the late 70's, the decision to end
the threat of nuclear war must be made in
public by millions of ordinary people.
The first U.N. Special Session on Disarmament
will meet in New York, May 23-June 26.
Its success or failure will depend largely
on public support for disarmament and public
demand that it begin at once.
It will depend on you. You can:
OSlOSSOlssoisominsimmemaniNlENllll
❑ sign and circulate the Endangered
Human Species Disarmament Petition
❑ join the anti-nuclear action
at Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant,
Denver, Colorado, April 29-30.
❑ attend the Mobilization for Survival
demonstrations in New York, May 27-28
❑ bring your ideas and concerns to the

coffee house) across the street from the
U.N., open throughout the Special Session.

Dear Editor:
I am one of the concerned
students that confronted the
SGA with petition in hand
containing 283 signatures op
posing the allocated funds,
totaling $2OO. The SGA said
that they did not allocate the
funds, they merely transferred
them. To the SGA transfer
means they move the moneys
to within reach and allocate
means that the committee has
voted and approved the use of
such moneys. To me "transfer"
means they would move the
moneys out of the incumbrance
fund. If no one noticed that the
SGA had "transferred" this
money, they would have
allocated the entire or most of
the funds for their party.
The SGA went on to state
that this amount was only a
"ball-park figure". Just whose
ball-park are they in. They
eventually allocated $BO.
Eighty dollars is a far cry from
$2OO. If they did not intend on
spending the $2OO why did they
transfer so much?
S.G.A. election petitions are
now available for anyone
interested in running for office.
If you are interested you can
pick up petitions for the
positions of President, Vice*
President, Treasurer,
Secretary and Senator. Any
full-time registered student is
welcome to fill out petitions
available in the S.G.A. office
NV-110.

Student apathy was also
discussed. One of the major
topics was lack of communica
tion between the students and
SCA News
By Dave Nikoloff
the SGA. Is the SGA concerned
about this problem? Well let us
look more closely at the concern
of the SGA. The SGA was quick
to point out that all meetings
are open td all students. At a
great sacrifice some senators
have recently established office
hours to encourage interaction
between the two groups. These
senators have only been in
office since September, and
their term is up in a few weeks.
Well, I guess better late than
never!
I can tell the SGA is
concerned about the problem of
communications. To help reme
dy the situation, they have
allocated themselves ;80 for a
party so that the graduating
members of the SGA can meet
the incoming members and
inform them on the issues.
Unfortunately the students
which these people are going to
represent have to wait for
office hours because this party
is closed to all students. Now
this is apathy in the greatest
sense of the word.
The SGA was quick to point
out to us that other campuses
have received stipend for work
on the SGA. But when the
question was raised of the
source of the funds and the
manner they were to be used,
the SGA was quick again to
point out that each campus has
its own constitution and is
compelled to follow it. There is
a question in my mind, were
these officers drafted, hired or
contracted in any way for these
positions. To the best of my
knowledge they were not. They
chose to run for their
respective offices knowing that
there was no stipend or party
as payment. This sounds like a
thankless job and it is but they
themselves chose it. They
deserve no more than a
thank-you. In closing I say
Thank You!

It has come to our attention
that some of our students have
received "Ten Day Notices"
from the Middletown Area Tax
Office. If you have been sent
one of these notices bring it to
the Student Affairs Office,
Room W-103 and we will
intercede with the tax office in
this matter.

Bogle
To Lecture
"The Image of Blacks in
Movies" will be the subject of a
lecture and slide presentation
in the auditorium at Penn State
Capitol Campus on Tuesday,
April 4 at 12:00 noon.
Donald Bogle, author of the
book "Toms, Coons, Mulattoes,
Mamies, and Bucks," will be the
guest lecturer. In both his book
and his presentation, Bogle
takes a close look at the
stereotypes black authors have
always been forced to portray.
A graduate of Lincoln
University, Bogle has also
studied at Indiana University,
Harvard, and Columbia. He is a
former staff writer for "Ebony"
magazine, and has been a story
editor for Otto Preminger.
The program is open to the
