responded to reports of a party
being held inside and outside
929 P. Flickinger St. in Meade

charged resident Danielle Ann
Cox, 22, with disorderly conduct.
According to Penn State
Director of Safety and Police
Services Kevin Stoehr, Cox

brought against her in October.

PSH recently got a taste of Washington,
D.C.'s post-election festivities when it
held its own inaugural ball to discuss
prospects for the new Bush administra
tion.
Dr. Carol Nechemias, an associate
professor of public policy and a mem
ber of the steering committee for the
women's studies program, organized
the panel discussion, which she
believes was a first for PSH. Joining
her on the panel were Dr. Robert
Bresler, professor of public policy and
coordinator of the public policy pro
gram; Dr. Jeremy Plant, professor of
public policy and public administra
tion,and Dr. Steven Peterson, director
of the school of public affairs. Each
panelist discussed a different aspect of
Bush's presidency, but all agreed that
our new commander in chief could face
some tough challenges during his first
months in the White House.
George W. Bush took office at a
pivotal point in our political history.
Not since 1876, when Samuel Tilden
won the popular vote hut lost the elec
tion to Rutherford B. Hayes, have we
had such a hotly contested presidential
race. And some Americans still ques
tion Bush's right to hold our nation's
top office.

Nechemias said that the percentage
of the voting population that believes
our 43rd president was not legitimately
elected has steadily climbed. As of
January 19, that figure had reached 40
percent. In fact, in recent weeks, some
members of the popular press who
oppose Bush's election have dubbed
him "the president-select. -
The legitimacy question is not the
only issue that could cloud the start of
our new leader's time in office. The
transition of power and its possible
implications have given political
satirists a healthy supply of new mater
ial.
The near-capacity crowd in the
Gallery Lounge January 22 saw one
example. The caption of a cartoon dis
played there read "Dubya, let the heal
ing begin, - and the picture showed Vice
President Dick Cheney walking Bush
on a leash and commanding him to
heel.
Nechemias was not alone in her fear
that Cheney and some of Bush's high
er-profile Cabinet appointees, such as
retired General Colin Powell who will
serve as secretary of state, might over
shadow him. One audience member
said look at his main Cabinet
appointments as I would horses draw-
