Pennsylvania State University at Capitol Campus C MC. re Volume 9, No. 7 Library gets facelift by Joan H. Klein Work will begin on the second phase of restoration of the Richard H. Heindel Library during the term break. The first phase, the Annex, was completed in the spring. Efforts are being made to do the work with the least possible amount of upheaval and inconvenience to the stu dent body. Toward this end, between now and the opening of campus for the Winter term, some painting will be done and changes in room arrangement will be made. Students returning in Jan uary may look forward to more convenient facilities. The pres Details on accident withheld by Mike Kondor Campus police said Tuesday that they are still unable to release any information concer ning the accident here on No vember 13, in which a girl was struck by a car. Officer Edgar Mitman, a mem ber of the campus police force and the investigating officer on the scene of the accident, said that there are "two reasons" that information is not being re leased. He said one reason is that the girl's parents do not want the information released, and the other reason is that the incident is "still under inves tigation." Mitman said that township police are'not assisting in the investigation. He said that township officers were on the scene only as a precautionary measure, because of uncertainty about the injuries sustained, and due to the need for assis tance in traffic control. When pressed for further de tails, Mitman said: "I can't say anything." ent Circulation Department will be relocated in the former Pub lic Information Office area; the Reference Department will be expanded to include the for mer Circulation Department. As of January, the Reference col lection will be located in one room; microfiche collections will be unified in the South room. Faculty will have a new and enlarged study in January. These changes, which are being executed with existing mon ies and labor, are keyed into the full restoration that will be completed with money from the Heindel Fund. SGA takes stand on nuclear energy The following statement of the Student Government Associa tion establishes the SGA's offi cial policy on nuclear energy. The policy was voted official by a 9--yes, 5--no and 1--abstention vote at the SGA meeting Monday, November 26.

The eventual plan includes the removal of several walls which had purpose when the area was used for classrooms. As part of the library, the walls are only divisive and useless. Several areas are to be carpeted. Future plans also include a room for the Heindel special col lection comprised of the late Dr. Heindel's personal books, papers and bibliography as well as pho tos and other memorabilia.

In general, he Student Government Associa tion concurs with the moratorium currently in effect prohibiting the construction of any new nu clear power plants now in opera tLon in the United States. Un- til considerations such as 1) the effect upon the ecosystem, 2) the impact upon the mental and physical well-being of those living near a reactor, 3) prob lems concerning transportation and storage of nuclear waste, and 4) the determination of re sponsibility for the economic loss that an incident like Three Mile Island will incur are total -1•, neutralized so no harm will come to even a small segment of the population, the Student Gov ernment Association cannot con done the use of nuclear energy at Three Mile Island or any oth er plant within the United States at this time.
