University Park Guards Armed
Dr. Edward Eddy, acting President of the Uni-
versity, decided November 6 to allow the arming of
33 police service officers at University Park, begin-
ning at 11:30 p.m. of that day.
The decision was made, according to Eddy, on
the idea that campus police should be armed instead
of an outside agency who may not be familiar with
patrolling the campus. University Council, in a three-
hour session November 2, decided to recommend
arming the police service officers.
A report was drawn up, stipulating regulations
on the use of the guns by the officers. Officers may
not remove the gun from the holster in public places,
except for inspection or in defense of life and only
after other means attempted have failed. The officers
will be carrying Smith and Wesson .38 caliber guns,
which will use only department-issued ammunition.
Only six or seven officers on duty will be carrying
guns at peak times.

Led Zeppelin’s
“The Song Remains The Same”
For a decade now, the rock band Led Zeppelin
has been giving the public a fine brand of electric
blues. Behind all of those loud electrified chords,
notes, and beats is a sound derived directly from
bluesmen such as Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon.
“Since I’ve been loving you” is just one of this kind
of song portrayed in the movie. Others were “No
Quarter” and “Dazed and Confused.” Led Zeppelin
also has the ability to create a fantastic rocking
sound. In the movie, the fantastic four were jumping
and playing to the sounds of such hits as “Rock and
Roll,” “Black Dog,” and “Whole ’Lotta Love.” The
clean, mellow sounds of “Rain Song” and what is
probably their greatest and most popular hit of all
time — “Stairway to Heaven” — show how versatile
these men can be.
Fine special effects and clear sound contribute
to this movie’s outstanding impact. Each member of
the band and their manager Peter Grant lived out
their fantasies in the film. Jimmy Page, John Bon-
ham, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones all contrib-
uted to the amazing phenomenon.

The Simultaneous and
Multiple Degree Program
The Simultaneous and Multiple Degree Program
at Penn State offers students a chance to gain knowl-
edge in two fields of study at one time by coordinating
credits and receiving two degrees upon graduation.
If a student is applying for degrees in two dif-
ferent colleges, say the College of Liberal Arts and
the College of Agriculture, then he must meet the
minimum requirements of both colleges to gain en-
trance into the program. After receiving an applica-
tion for the program (available in Mr. Vairo’s office),
the student should first contact the heads of both col-
leges and outline his plans to them. One of the en-
suing procedures to be fulfilled in the application
involves listing the courses which still must be ob-
tained to gain credit for both degrees. Students and
advisors must also calculate the number of terms it
will take to complete the requirements for both de-
grees. Chances are it will require at least one extra
term beyond the usual thirteen term limit.
Those eligible for the Multiple Degree Program
are students in their fourth through ninth term. Rea-
sons for entering the program may be a desire to
combine two different fields of study to round out
one’s scholastic studies, or just an interest in two fields
