Freckle Say ... . (--Ed. note: In the fpllowllng open letter to readers, Dr. Frankel res ponds to some of the nega tive feedback concerning the last issue. I•m glad to know this man--he says it better -- or, at least, more tactfully -- than I would have) This is just a note in response to the worried peOple on the campus who feared that the "provoca tive" first issue of the Collegian would so offend the citizens of Hazleton that they would storm High acres, burn the newspaper and strip mine the class room building. Do you think that the people of Hazleton can't handle a candid assessment of our city by a newcomer? Do you think that they are unaware of the lack of di version and entertainment, especially for youth? Do you think that they can't Second Annual Institute of Political Journalism Washington, D.C. -- For college students interested in a journalistic career, the 1986 Institute on Poli tical Journalism offers a unique opportunity to ex plore Washington journalism first-hand.

While in the nation's capi tal, they will live on the campus of Georgetown Uni versity acid attend classes each morning in Economics in Public Policy and Ethics and the Media. Each after noon the students will work as interns in the Washing ton offices of news media, members of Congress, the executive branch, and pri vate media-related organi- handle the presence of peo ple living "alternative lifestyles" without calling out a lynch mob? Certainly Hazleton is conservative, but so is most of America these days. I've lived in this city for eleven years and found most people I've met to be friendly and can did, frustrated by the ci ty's decline, but wary of the hype of those who would deny it, opinionated about political and moral issues, but tolerant and willing to think the best of other people if granted the same consideration. Your worries about res ponse to the first issue of the Collegian imply that you feel Hazletonians must be protected from contro versy and criticism; that they can't deal with it rationally. This is a patronizing attitude and a disservice to the good peo ple of this community. --Carl Frankel. nations.

Harris Starting right after the Thanksgiving vacation, new safety regulations will be placed into effect on the Penn State Hazleton Campus. The two areas that are going to be corrected are the area around the Administration Building and the entrance in front of the Commons Building. According to Karl Krone, Business Manager of the Hazleton Campus, the "PEOPLE CROSSING" signs that are located in the region of the Adminstration Building will be replaced with "STOP" signs. Also, a "CAUTION: CROSSWALK" sign will be placed in front of the Commons Building in order to warn drivers who are traveling up the hill to slow down and be wary that people may be crossing the road. "The Campus Safety Com mittee, which is composed of faculty, staff and stu dents, were concerned over the speed that the cars are traveling through the cen ter of campus. We want to protect everyone's safety on campus, and by traveling at their present speed, drivers are endagering everybody's lives," Krone said. The implementation of the new signs will take place over the Thanksgiving vacation. When classes re sume, campus security will be spending the first week back notifying the students of the change in driving measures on the campus. After the first week, it will become official. This may not be the end of such changes on the Hazleton Campus. It is possible that speed bumps may be placed on the Campus next year, but such plans are still being discussed. They hope that these corrections will insure the safety of all the people of the Campus.
