Page 2 May 10, 1971 Club Budgets Reviewed, Cuts Possible by Tom Osiecki Due to the University’s “very tight financial situation,” Student Affairs Dean Edward F. Linder ordered all chartered organiza- tions to submit for review new budgets for the Spring term. Linder stated that of the $43,000 allotted to SGA by the University for distribution to “chartered organizations,” $5,196.19 now remains in organ- izational banking accounts. SGA Treasurer Mike DiSanto said that the money situation was not “out of hand,” but that he and Linder were ‘“doublecheck- ing” the records. Linder emphasized the fact that money allotted to organiza- tions by University Park is not intended to pay their tab for the whole year. “The money given to the or- ganizations is to help defray the costs of a club getting started. After that, it’s up to the organi- zation to find ways to raise money for themselves,” Linder said. SGA’s organizational budget has further been stretched by the chartering of four new organiza- tions: the Camera Club, the Lion’s Eye, the Veterans Asso- ciation, and SAME (Society of American Military Engineers). “Some of the already existing organizations on campus have not spent the money allotted to them by SGA. Others haven't asked for any yet,” said Linder. “I don’t see any problems ‘meeting our commitments. There will be $400 or $500 left over at the end of the year which isn’t going to be used,” said DiSanto. When budgets are turned into the office of student affairs they will be reviewed by Linder and DiSanto. Spectators walk through police lines to get a better view of fire in its second day of burning.

Paiano used an acoustic guitar to do his own interpretation of current classics by such writers as John Lennon, James Taylor, The Who and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. : Doing Joni Mitchell's Wood- Problems Plague Philosophy Club by Jim Delfini “Lack of publicity and con- flicts with students’ schedules were the main reasons for the failure of the first meeting of the newly formed Philosophy Study Group,” said advisor Bruce Ste- phens, Asst. Prof. of Religious Studies. The other advisors to the group are Willard Green, Philoso- phy Inst. and Robert Ginsberg, Asst. Prof., Philosophy. STUDENT INTEREST It is interesting to note that the group was started because students themselves expressed in- terest in the formation of the club. The main idea of the club would be that students would gather during their free time and discuss philosophical topics that might not be available within the formal classroom work. The club was going to function as an unchartered organization. But it will try to become a char- tered club on campus with funds available for speakers and re- freshments as well as the. pres- tige that accompanies official rec- ognition with the university. FACULTY HELP “The faculty members would help the group in the early stages of formation, and it is hoped that the students themselves will direct | the activities,” Stephens said.

Haskin Ron Giancoli, Ken Helm, stock, Paiano showed his skillful guitar technique. His style is not to finger and pick the guitar, but to chord, dischord and change the pace of his music. EXPRESSIVE VOICE He brought the audience to- gether with John Lennon’s A Working Class Hero. The song is a masterpiece I feeling. When worked with the feeling and tones Paiano’s voice and instrument every person sitting in the crowd experienced the bitterness of Len- non’s words. Paiano’s voice was best doing James Taylor's Fire and Rain. Using his masterful chording on the acoustic he leaned back with his eyes closed and let his power- ful yet mellow voice fill the lec- ture hall. His style is not unlike that of Richie Havens. He moves his body in restrained frenzy, seemingly glued to his guitar. Paiano’s musical version of The Who's rock opera, Tommy, is a marvelous selection of pieces strung together in an almost mys- tic form. His chording and time changes during Tommy never leave the listener bored, which is an accomplishment when com- pared to some of the other acous- tic guitar musicals. ‘VOICE RIPS’ Doing Neil Young’s Down By The River, Paiano demonstrated the limits of his voice. He takes the song to the top of his range and rips out a note that might or might not pass for what it’s sup- posed to be. This happened sev- eral times during the concert. He then went into several Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young songs. Doing 49 Bye Byes, Paiano showed his unique style of taking a song and playing it to its fullest with power and gentle caressing. He then got the song moving and finished off with a blues beat. While into CSN&Y’s Ohio the crowd started clapping and con- tinued for the remainder of the concert. Paiano fed off the clapping and ripped into Richie Havens’ Free- dom. With his eyes closed he ripped, pounded and shredded his voice, accelerating with the beat. Paiano appeared at the social committee’s coffee hour which -was held April 30, 8 to 12 P.M. in the Student Lounge. Write Ou. ..

Many of the tools we need are right here in a twenty-five mile radius. It’s a matter of knowing how to spend the money.” Sheila Mellon, a sophomore political science major, pointed out that other representatives from University Park have come to Delaware. She said that they also wrote reports but that no ac- tion was ever taken. Grubb said that he will sub- mit his report in June and any action to be taken would be done by Dr. Oswald. TWO-YEAR CREDITS Robert Bulley, a sophomore journalism major and a member of the campus council asked Grubb why Penn State’s four-year programs will not accept their own two-year credits. He said, “Five of the two-year journalism students who will con- tinue their education have trans- ferred to Temple University in- stead of University Park. Grubb agreed that Penn State realizes that its associate degree programs need renovating. He feels that the sites where programs are given may need to be changed. Grubb said in conclusion that ‘history choked Chester Campus ~ Destroyed (Continued from Page 1) “We had to get out; the smoke was so bad you couldn’t see across the street,” said Mrs. Pratt. The fire, which residents term- ed the worse in Chester’s recent the city with smoke and cinders which cut vis- ibility at the sight of the blaze down to zero. “By 6:30 p.m. you couldn't see or breathe,” remarked Jack Guyer, 10th and Butler Sts., a service station owner who sup- plies the fire equipment with fuel. ~ The fire was reported by Harry Lyons, 414 Clifton Ave., and Sharon Hill, an employee of the Chester Municipal Parking Lot located across the street from the building 5:15 p.m. Tuesday, Ap- ril 20 and flared up again 5:30 a.m. the following morning. According to Assistant Fire Chief Robert Ogden, the blaze started in the rear of the building and swiftly engulfed the structure. Ogden stated that the cause of the fire was, “undetermined,” and that arson was not suspected. CHILDREN REMOVED William Coopersmith, owner of the building and Rollerdrome employee William Dill, were in the building when the fire broke out and assisted in removing 30 - children who were taking roller skating lessons just before the fire ‘began to spread. Coopersmith said that-he had no plans for the land at present. “I don’t know what I'm going to do. The insurance company will only cover 40 percent of the damages,” he stated. “I just took the biggest bath in Chester,” remarked Coopersmith. ATTRACTED GANGS Earl and Bertha Luke, owner of the Penn Hotel, 201 Patterson St., a bar located across the from the fire stated that they are glad to see the building go. The Lukes, who have been robbed 3 times complained that the Big C Roller rink was a hang out for gangs of teenagers who often brought violence to the neighborhood. “The place was a breeding place for hoodlums,” said Mrs. Luke. “This fire is the first time in two years we've operated with our doors open. The kids would hang outside the building carry- ing chains and guns and half the neighbors would be afraid to chase them away,” she said. Joseph Biscontini, Assistant Director at Delaware County Campus stated that the University had nothing left in the building at 6th and Penn Sts. “The last things we had there were removed a month ago. The only things we had left in the building were some blackboards which we' intended to donate to the next people who rented the space,” he said. he had “great hopes for the Com- monwealth Campus system.” He said that problems vary from campus to campus but that “none are too big that we can’t do some- thing about them.” EE amma
