-If anyone's noticed the' drilling rig on the hill in back of the
- dorms, it's not there for water. - No, oil hasn't been discovered at
Behrend either. The drill has been used to take samples for the
foundation of the next residence hall and food service building. The
samples are necessary so the architects know how deep to dig the
foundation. The drill holes, if foll Owed will outline the foundation.

I. M. volleyball entries are due February 12 and, play will begin

I wonder who the heating contractor for the R.U.B. was? He
must come from Florida 'cause his pipes don't hold up to Behrend
weather. The heat' was off in the R.U.B. Lecture Hall on Monday.
Are you a Warren Beatty fan, a Natalie Wood fan? . . Phyllis

the Union Board series. Set in the U.S. of the 1920'5, it's a story of

night in the R.U.B. Lecture Hall. Admission $.50.
Rumors Dispelled
In Library Death
November 28. 1969 the body of Betsy Aardsma was found in
Pattee Library, University Park. The young co-ed was apparently
stabbed. The Pennsylvania State Police have been trying to solve
the murder ever since then.
Since there is a great deal of mystery surrounding the case,
many rumors have been circulating as to what the exact situation
is.
One of the stories is that Miss Aardsma was working for the
Federal Bureau of Narcotics and that a professional killer was hired
to "eliminate" her.
Another tale says that the
murder weapon was either an
ice-pick or a surgical instrument.
This lead to further speculation
that._ her boyfriend was the A-1
suspect. He allegedly was a med
ical student and therefore would
have been able to obtain the
surgical equipment.
Many incidents have been rum
orically tied-in with the murder.
The slashing of a Clarion State
co-ed shortly after the murder
was 'thought to have had a dir
ect connection with the Penn
State incident.
In an attempt to assign some
sort ' of validity to these rumors,
I contacted the officer in charge
of the investigation, Lt. William
Kimmel. His 'statement was brief
by Charly Lee
but exacting.
"If Miss Aardsma had been
for the F.S.N., I'm sure our in
vestigation would have uncover
ed that by now. She was not in
volved with narcotics."
About the murder weapon Kim
mel said, "We have not even is
sued a statement which said we
even have the murder weapon.
Whether we do or do not have it
cannot be released at this time."
"As to the report that the vic
tim's boyfriend may be involved,
we can say that he has been in
terviewed. many times and that
he is not connected with the
slaying! ,
Kimmel said many incidents
have been investigated for possi
ble tie-in with the murder but to
THE NIT TANY CUB
Mysticisth
• • • It's all the same."
The roots of many of the prob
lems which plague us here on
earth lay in the tendencies we have
to forget that "it's all he same."
Two problem areas which illus
trate the need for realizing "it's
all the same," are religion and na
tionalism. Hostilities arise over is
sues involving both. Changes in
the world would come about a lot
sooner if people would come down
from their ego-religious and ego
nationalistic trips.
All religions believe in God and
really makes no difference what
imagery is used to identify God.
Mystics and the Bible each have
pointed out that in the future
there will be a universal religion.
The idea that God is dead is a pre
vailing attitude of the world to-
I day. However there has in recent
years been a shift from the feeling
of no God and the half-ass wor
shipping of the "go to church on
Sunday" people towards a belief
in the mystical religions. The my-
sties realize the need for the "all
in one" flow. They know how to
flow with the tide of the universe
and roll with the natural. The fol
lowers of the mystical ideas have
made God a guiding factor in how
they live their daily lives. It's not
these people who are - creating the
wars and suffering in the world.
Perhaps the second largest ob
stacle hindering the progression of
mankind is the strong patriotic
feelings which the leaders of the
world's power structures have in
stilled in so many flag-waving
fools. The people who run around
waving flags, while screaming "my
country—right or wrong," are sick.
These people are of the same type
that rallied to Hitler's call. We of
the upcoming generation should
attempt to instill in our children
feelings of love for all mankind.
By doing all We can to dispell the
feelings of patriotism to a parti
cular country we can help our chil
dren to develop a love for all the
people of the world.
The opportunity to bring about
needed changes wil someday be in
our hands. When our' time comes
we must be ready to act. Until the
day is ours each of us should strive
to rid ourselves of the bad influ
ences that society has imprinted in
our minds. We can best prepare
ourselves by rapping amongst each
other to search for the needed an
swers and by rapping to the uni
formed to enlighten them. We
should most of all find ourselves
by finding God and by realizing
that every person is our brother.
date nothing has been uncover
ed to suggest a connection.
After a Clarion State security
officer was ,asked about the inci
dent of the woman student ap
parently being slashed, he said
that the wound was self-inflict
ed. •
A composite picture of a young
man seen in the core area near
the time of the murder was re
leased on December 10. This is
the one and only lead in the
case.
The picture of the man who is
a white male, in his early twen
ties and weighs between 185-200
pounds, was printed in the Jan
uary 10th morning edition of the
DAILY COLLEGIAN. The pic
ture is on hand at any S.G.A.
office.
Lt. Kimmel has appealed to
students who might have any in
formation "however insignificant
it may seem" to contact any
State Police barracks or discuss
this information with their Dean
of Students representative. All
information will be kept in con
fidence.
Universal Life Church
"Mail Order Ministers"
Rev. Art Fox, D.D. and Rev. Dick Kerekes are two young ac
tors from the Miami, Florida area. They attend acting workshops
in the area and have appeared in several,productionst TV commerc
ials, been guests on local talk shows and are presently scheduled to
appear in a TV pilot.
They became ordained ministers by mail and were granted a
chatter to start their own church; Universal Life Church of Custer
St. in Hollywood, Florida. They are quickly gaining notoriety for
their practice of making anyone an ordained minister, just for the
asking and free will offering to support the Church. Fox tells,.
"Over 265,000 ministers have already been ordained." He adds,.
"The ULC has no doctrine itself; it only believes in that which is
We recognize everyone's belief." Fox says, "The ordination papers
are legal and are recognized by all -50 states and several foreign
countries." He also says, "You may perform marriages, Baptism,
funerals, dedications, visit hospitals and jails." Kerekei reveals,.
"Many modes of transportation offer reduced fares when you show
the pocket License issued. We will help you start your own church.
if you want to plus we alio issue Doctor of Divinity degrees for a
free will offering of $20."
The two "MAIL-ORDER MINISTERS" have now begun a
"WHITE PANTHERS" program on behalf of their church. They
tow their "WHITE PANTHERS" canteen trailer into ghetto areas
and distribute sandwiches, coffee and donuts. "This is a stopgap.
program," says Kerekes, "to tide these people over to payday, over
the rough spots, until the government provides a way for all Ameri
cans to have adequate food." He adds, "We are also planning a pro

food. Many of the aged are actually starving to death." Fox tells,
"We hope to open chapters all over the country. College students
are becoming "Ministers" on many Campuses plus many other peo
ple from all walks of life." He also says, "The White Panthers have
no official connection with the "Black Panthers" althOugh we - are
in sympathy with their cause and plight." Kerekes -stresses, ."It is
time to `come together', right now." .
DEAR _CHAK.Y
(Anyone having a question about anything, send your ques
tion to Charly Lee, c/o Publication Office,- Reed Building,
Behrend Campus. ,All letters will becOme the property of
the: CUB and will be eligible for printing.)
Dear Chary,
When I enrolled as a student at the Penn State Uni
versity last year, the doctor 'at our dispensary gave me pre
scriptions for birth control pills. This term, however, when
I went to get the prescription from the visiting campus doc
tor he said that he Was no longer allowed to give them out_
Howcome campus doctors 'can no longer prescribe the pill?
Dear Worried,
In the past, the doctors at the Commonwealth Campus
es have been prescribing the pill without any word on the
matter from University Park. This fact was brought to the
attention of the administration and in the interest of the
female students of the university, the pill will no longer
be given out by the University Dispensaries. Why ? For twc
very good reasons:
1. Most dispensaries are not equipped to allow the
physician to examine the females adequately, as is required
by law.
2. Anyone who has read up on the pill knows that to ,
certain individuals, it poses possible dangers to their health.
Previously the pill was just given out without any investi
gation of the girls' health historys. This leads to the pos
sibility of unforseen complications. A doctor can't tell by
just looking at a young lady, her medical history.
This mandate is not a moral judgement by the Univer
sity on the use of the pill, but it is
_a health reason.
This solution can be offered: if a girl wants the pill,
stop in at the campus dispensary and either the nurse or
doctor there will direct her to a local gynecologist. He ad
ministers the proper examination and
. can prescribe the pill
with a higher degree of safety than the campus doctor. Play
it safe, you many not only be endangering your life, but also
the life of your pbtential children.
If you want to play it safer; join a convent.
