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.

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."

H an educational TV station

for developing such a station,
Dr. C. 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

each state and territory for estab

"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

funds from the proposed Harris
bill to state groups. It was the
committee that decided the Uni

Educationo I
Decided by
;This is the first article in a series explaining the constitution and
functions of the University Senate and the major Senate committees.
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.
The decisions passed by the Sen
ate aie subject to the jurisdiction
of the Board of Trustees, but the
Senate interprets all legislation
itself.
Membership in the Senate is de
termined both by position and by
election. The president, vice-presi
dents and comptroller of the Uni
versity are automatic members as
well as the director of continuing
education. the special assistant to

Army-issued license plates.
Under orders, the two Ameri

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

U.S. garrison life in West Berlin.
