SCA’s Ron Drum on problems in ‘76
Ron Brum, the winner of the
April 5 Student Government
presidential election, believes
that many of the problems he
will incur next year will come
from deep-rooted beliefs and
feelings of the students.
One of the major problems
he will face is apathy. "All
roads lead to Rome...most of
this campus' problems stem from
apathy," says Brum. Brum says
apathy grows as the year pro
gresses and pointed out the
decline in membership through
out the year in nearly every
club on campus. He says he
feels that the best way to deal
with apathy is..."stop it be
fore it starts in the freshmen
class." Brum hopes to improve
the orientation program so it
tall encourage increased stu
dent involvement in campus act
ivities.
Brum says other problems
he will have to deal with will
Colleg
gel eailg view
also stem from deep-rooted
feelings, such as the "Bormie-
Townie mutual put down" and
the general feeling of stu
dents toward security.
Brum stated that most stu
dents put down the security
force because they feel that
security is here to watch over
them, not realizing that secur
ity is here to help the stu
dent body. Brum said that if
students are oriented in a
different manner from the start
the number of problems his ad
ministration will encounter
will not be as great.
The 1976-77 Student Govern
ment Association administration
will consist of Brum as presi
dent; John Page, vice-president;
Matt Werner, treasurer; anri
Cathy Jenco, secretary. Timm
pointed out that all will be
available to the student be
cause "that's what we're
here for."

Dorm contracts in
UNIVERSITY PARK—University
housing officials said recently
that all students who submitted
applications for university
housing will receive contracts.
This includes the 1,404 ap
plications from Commonwealth
Campus students.
Officials said the only ex
ceptions will be those students
who refused to accept temporary
housing if regular space was un
available.
Of the total from branch
campuses, 837 males and 367 fe
males applied for dorms.
Other categories of applica
tions were; off campus, readmit
or advanced standing students,
230 ; practicum, study abroad or
student teaching, 79; Univer
sity Park continuing students,
6,633; slimmer freshmen (2nd
term), 723; and Fall freshmen,
3,058.
A total of 309 spaces were
still available, said William
Mulberger, Assignment Office
Manager. Mulberger said appli
cations will still be accepted
as long as space is available.
"I hope it's not a potato,"
said Br. Raymond 0. Murphy,
Vice-President for Student
Affairs at University Park, as
he received a token of appre
ciation at last Thursday's
sixth annual Awards Banquet.
Murphy had been the evening's
guest speaker
at the banquet, which was held
at Gus Genetti's Lodge, and
the gift box did not contain
a potato, but a metal sculp
ture ((selected by Frances
Grencavich at the Fine Arts
Festival).
Murphy's speech was quite
a switch form last year's by
Fredrick Ciletti; short and
attention-holding. Murphy
commented on the history of
Penn State, and how things
