No: 26 niversity's ger Stand Called Valid By DAVE RUNKEL The University is legally correct in their stand protest ing the order of the State Sani tary Water Board to halt the pollution of Spring Creek, Roy Anthony, mayor of State Col lege said last night, In the strict definition of the word pollution, making the water of a stream unfit for human con sumption, the University is not polluting the creek, Anthony said. But, he continued, it is evi dent that the effluent from the sewage plant is causing an in crease of plant life in the creek which is crowding out the fish. The public has, moreover, blamed the University for the fish . kills in Spring Creek, An thony said. On. Tuesday the University was allowed an appeal of the water board's order. This appeal will be heard Tuesday in Commonwealth Court in Harrisburg. The University has found itself involved in a problem which it did not create, Anthony said. The Sanitary Water Board approved the construction plans for the sewage treatment plant when it was built five years ago. It has been operating within the limits set in that permit, he said. The problem is that the efflu ent from the treatment plant is rich in phosphorous and nitro gen nutrients. These nutrients act as fertilizers for the plant growth, Anthony said. Since Spring Creek is a lime stone stream, already well sup plied with most of the other ele ments essential to plant growth, these conditions result in a ram pant growth of a wide variety of aquatic plants, he explained. All of these plants use oxygen and they get most of it from the dissolved oxygen in the water. Under certain growth conditions, Anthony said, this results in lowering the oxygen content of the water to a point below that necessary to sustain fish life.

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE Printed Company By CARMEN ZETLER of assembling some 25,000 names, it assumed no responsibility for i printing costs. Diehl said that the University saved from $6,500 to $7,500. College Science Publications signed a contract with the Univer sity, Diehl said, which permitted .the use of advertising to pay for printing and other charges. The 'firm was also permitted to offer the publications for public sale, he said. In return, the University re ceived 6,650 student directories and 4,000 faculty directories from the publishers free of charge, he added. Diehl said that the University distributes one student directory and one faculty directory to every office telephone on campus free of charge, and additional copies to retired members of the uni versity staff, newspaper and radio outlets, and to the 13 Com monwealth Campuses. In addition, he said, one stu dent directory is placed in' every student room on the campus. For the first time this year, Commonwealth Campus stu dent were listed in the student directory, Diehl said. This boosted the total to more than 20,000, a record number, he added. Faculty and staff at the Commonwealth Campuses have been listed in the faculty di rectories for several years, Diehl said. He said that there are almost 5,000 names in this directory. Diehl said that when the Uni versity signed the contract with College Science Publications, it agreed to the selling price of 75 cents for faculty directors and one dollar for student directories. He added tat the printing cost, of each directory was estimated at "about 77 cents." "This outside sale," Diehl said, "is strictly a public service to the community and to those students and faculty who want extra copies."

R. Carpenter, director of Academic Research and Services, said yesterday. The $lOO,OOO could come from funds provided by the Harris Bill, Carpenter said. The bill, presently on the congressional agenda, pro vides for $1 million to he given to each state and territory for estab lishing educational TV networks. "The bill has a very probable chance of passing this session," Carpenter predicted. A 15-member TV committee was organized in Harrisburg last year by the superintendent of public instruction, Carpenter said. The committee's purpose is to discuss ways of implement ing a TV network and alloting funds from the proposed Harris bill to state groups. It was the committee that decided the Uni versity could receive ,SIOO,OOO if the bill passed, he said. Car penter is , a member of the corn mittee. "The committee also discussed ways in which we could reach the most people through TV and what kind of TV programs would be I effective," >Carpenter said.

The final decision on an extended Thanksgiving recess will be handed down by the University Senate at its meeting Nov, 7, as are all other decisions concerning the educational interests of the University. The Senate, which meets monthly, is the sole legislative body on education policy, courses of study, admission requirements, graduation requirements, scholar ship and honor awards, calendar policy, student regulations and ap proving candidates for degrees. In iddition, the Senate acts on all matters that concern more than one faculty. The Senate also has the power to review Graduate School affairs ad ministered by the graduate fac ulty.

Ten U.S. Patton tanks and two armoredpersonnel carriers rolled up to the Allied crossing point and aimed their guns at the East German police. The British and French also holstered their border forces. But the U.S. troops made no move when the East Berliners subsequently turned back two Ar my sightseeing busses. Twelve husky Military Police rode in three jeeps 400 yards into East Berlin to escort two Americans in civilian clothes. riding in a private car with Army-issued license plates. Under orders, the two Ameri cans had refused to bow to the Communist requirement to show their identification papers to the East German guards. The United States does not recognize the East German Red regime and insists on maintaining its war-won right that American officials, whether civilian or military, can move freely in this sectored city without display passes. But the U.S. command re fused to press the issue later when the Red guards halted the busses and insisted on inspect ing the passengers' identifica tion papers. The Army said it pulled the busses back because it wanted to spare the women passengers "undue harassment." It was the first time the Com munists had barred entry into East Berlin for the Army sight seeing busses, a regular feature of U.S. garrison life in West Berlin. As U.S. officers aboard the bus (Continued on page two) Liberal Party to Elect New Chairman Nov. 5 Al Sharp, Liberal party chair man, said last night that he is no longer personally interested in leading his party.
