PAGE SIX President's Dismissal Stirs Action Students Write Shafer HARRISBURG (VP) Seven Millersville College students presented the Shafer Ad- Ministration yesterday with a petition re questing an investigation into the forced resignation of Robert A. Christie, college president. The petition, bearing the names of 1,179 of the 3,200-member student body, was pre sented to Robert Bloom, Shafer's executive secretary, by Mrs. Kathy McLain, a junior from Lancaster. The petition merely requested "a public investigation into circumstances" surround ing the resignation, without commenting on the merits of the dismissal. Jack Conmy, Shafer's public relations secretary, said Bloom promised to call the petition to the governor's attention when he returns this Week from a two-week vacation in the Virgin Islands. "We will also request a report from the Department of Public Instruction," Conmy said. The board two weeks ago accepted Christie's. resignation, effective Aug. 31 without elaborating on the reason it was requested. Christie cited basic policy dif ferences with the board in submitting his letter. "We want to know how the board can take such action without informing the stu dent body," declared Robert Coyne, treas urer of the sophomore class from Mount Carmel. "After all, the students are the ones most directly affected.'? Frank Latke, a sophomore from Lan caster, added: "I would say the student body is over whelmingly pro-Christie. We have no-reason to be anti-Christie." The 1,179 names were gathered during the past three days, the students said. No concerted attempt was made to, col tact the 1,300 students who commute. Others in the student delegation were: James Madgey, sophomore from Philadel phia; Cheryl Fisher, Lancaster senior; Carol Hugentugler, York senior, and Michael Beltz, Millersville senior. Which way?

Later that week the sororities will submit a list of the ten frater nities with whom they would like to work. Both lists will be fed to computers, and the combination of lowest numbers will produce the sorority-fraternity pairs for the annual event. The social chaimen also discussed the different types of parties permitted by the IFC and parties for special occasions such as ..' Mother's Day and Father's Day.

The members of the Rush Workshop dealt with the general problems of fra ternity rush, now taking place. The idea for rush registration in the dining halls was pro posed at this workshop and carried out last Sunday. Registration for rush continues this week in the IFC office, Rush Problems They concluded that the main problem with rush was in getting men to register. Often men will not consider rushing fra- DEAREST . I can't wait to hear from you, so note the Zip Code in my addresf.

The men at this workshop felt it is through rush that men cap view the fraternity system and then make their Choice. They also encourage men who are now rushing to rush more than one fra ternity in order to make a correct decision when bids for membership are extended. The ideas of dropping all regulations for rush and starting it the first day of school was also considered as a replacement for the present rush system. The extention of the period for giving out bids and accepting them was also mentioned. These . two ideas, how ever, were only suggestions and will not see any action by the rush committee at this time. The rush chairmen felt, that this year's rush set-up was an improvement over past rushes, but it is still not the final answer. Fraternity treasurers discussed the prob lems involving overdue house bills. hired help and the different systems for collection of house dues. Solutions for these problems were common to most of "the fraternities. The newly-formed FPA and its effect on member fraternities's budgets was also a main point of interest.

"The industry can anticipate the development of a fullblown golden age during the next two decades," ac cording to Dr. George F. Deasy, professor, and Dr. Phyllis R. Griess, professor emerita, of geography. "Unfortunately, it's unlikely that each of the country's many coal producing areas will share equally, if at all, in, this prosperity," they point out. Both government and industry sources forecast a demand for American coal of some 800 million tons by 1980, sharply higher than the 507 million tons produced in 1965. Despite expanded use of atomic and other energy sources, the anticipated demand for power is so enormous that markets for virtually all economically competitive fuels will expand rapidly. To determine the long term future of the various coal producing counties, the team turned to what is termed the "chartist approach." Using coal production for the years 1898-1963 they studied 169 counties whose output was both significant and relatively continuous. "We limited ourselves to the bituminous regions east of the Misisssippi River," Dr. Deasy explains, "since they have long yielded more than nine-tenths of the nation's supply of coal and seem destined to remain of outstanding importance. "The area includes the Appalachian coalfields, as well as those of the eastern interior in Indiana and Illinois, and Michigan's northern interior fields." For each of the 169 counties, a chart was prepared, plotting the fluctuations of coal output on a graph. An nual and cyclical variations resulting from wars, depres sions, or strikes were disregarded. "If the secular trend of production for a given mine or group of mines was upwards over a period of decades," Dr. Deasy comments, "they were considered in a growth situation. The rising long term trend line provided a.solid foundation for extrapolating continued growth conditions into the future. "On fb.e other hand, if the line remained level or trended downward, then future prospects were un promising. We felt this forecasting was especially appli cable to the bituminous industry since there are only a very few areas where more than a small percentage of total reserves has been extracted." Using their charts, Dr. Deasy and Dr. Griess forecast rising production for the following Pennsylvania counties: Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Clarion, Clinton, Greene, Law rence, Mercer and Venango. Keeping in mind that individual mines may not necessarily conform to county trends, they predict de clining or steady production in these counties: Allegheny, Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Centre, Clearfield, Elk, Fayette, Huntingdon, Indiana, Jefferson, Somerset, Tioga, Washing. ton and Westmoreland.
