PAGE EIGHT Maternity plan result of GSA student work Although the Graduate Student Association seeks to deal with problems and issues of concern to graduate students. much of its work may improve the status of all students. Foremost among GSA's accomplishments has been its leadership in introducing an Optional Pregnancy Benefit in the Student Medical Plan sponsored by the Undergraduate Democratic Government. Addition of the maternity option to the regular Medical Plan will cost $4O. Patients will pay 80 per cent of their ex penses after the initial 5200 deductible up to a maximum of $lO,OOO. GSA excutive secretary John Thornton said the maternity option was initiated by GSA and was co-sponsored by the ITDG. Serves Undergradute Also _ . The measure is an indication of the effect that GSA can have on all students. "We try to serve mainly the graduate student's needs." Thornton stated, "but in a great many instances you can't draw a line where graduate and un dergraduate problems begin and end." Thornton cited the work GSA is doing in the area of ex tended medical coverage to dependents of married students as another example of benefits received by undergraduates as a result of GSA initiative. David P. Yens, a member of the Graduate Students Af fairs Committee, presented a resolution this summer to University President John W. Oswald, calling for the ex pansion of facilities and services at the Ritenour Health Cen ter. Real Health Problems The resolution cited a State College Area Jaycees report on medical services in the Centre region that states "there are some real health problems amongst the poor ... and amongst the transient young graduate student families who are not cared for by the University health service." Although no plans to expand Ritenour have been an nounced yet, GSA is laying the groundwork for possible solu tions by considering studies and making constructive criticism. However, to conduct all of its activities, GSA requires a strong membership to support all its organizational positions. Delegates Elected All graduate students are, in effect, members of GSA, which is run by GSA executive council. Delegates to the council are elected by departments each fall and the number of delegates from any department is regulated by the size of that department. The council then is run by an executive board which is elected Spring Term. Six other members of the council either are elected or appointed to head the various committees. GSA also sends six senators to the University Senate and these need not be members of the council to be elected. Graduate senators have speaking rights on the Senate floor but do not have the power to vote, an issue they presently are negotiating with the Senate, In addition, GSA has representatives on the various graduate school committees. According to Thornton, the extended medical coverage probably will be the point of most concern for GSA in the com ing year. However, better housing, establishment of an in ternational house for foreign students, and a study of tax problems relevant to students also will be worked on by GSA, he claimed. Thornton said he and other GSA members at this point are optimistic about working with Oswald. "He has indicated a desire to give students more of a voice in matters that con cern them," he said. Student Council execs swap ideas in ICCB The Inter-College Council Board is an organization formed to help coordinate the activities of the student councils of each of the colleges at the University. The board is composed of the president and vice president of each college. They regularly meet to review programs and projects that the college councils might work on together. The stated purpose of ICCB includes promoting "in formational and communicative links between the college stu dent councils, representing the council system as a whole to various groups and presenting the opinions and problems of the Board." According to the Board's adviser, J. Thomas Kidd, "the ICCB is simply a device to get the presidents of the student councils together to exchange views and cooperate on matters of mutual interest." Election of officers is held in the spring. The president of ICCB is Ed Bechwith (12th-science-Pompton Lakes, N.J.).

BOX 467 STATE COLLEGE, PA. 16801 BSU to lead program for new black students - . Programs for incoming students this Year will include the first Black Student Orientation to be conducted at the University. Sponsored and staffed by members of the Black Student Union, the black orientation program is expected to "provide black students with the information and advice which will help them prosper," according to Anthony Leonard, BSU treasurer. Black students will be able to attend this special orientation prOgram in addition to the regular orientation program of fered by the Associated Student Activities for freshmen and transfer students. The Black Student Orientation is part of a series of BSU related activities and programs designed to "provide the sup portive services economic, social, Laßural, academic and political which are necessary for the progress of black stu dents at Penn State," Leonard said. • Total Well Being Be emphasized, however, that the BSU also is concerned about the total well being of all the students since the University, as a state-related school, should serve the needs of everyone. "No one is receiving an adequate and realistic education' if black students are being deprived of their necessary education," Leonard explained. Members of 7. , .. 71 said they feel that the University does not prepare black stu2onts for contribution to the development of their community, and that blacks often are at a disadvantage in the University system. For these reasons, the group is of fering programs dealing in all areas of concern to the black student. Culturally, the BSU will sponsor a black arts festival in the coming year. Also planned are workshops in dance, poetry, sewing, cooking and skills relevant to the survival of black people in America, Leonard said. Negotiations To Take Place As a result of some of the demands presented by the BSU last year, negotations are expected to take place between the University Black Student Union for the establishment of a Black Cultural Center at the University. Leonard cited the Special Education Opportunities Students (SEOS) program as an example of how Black Student Union influence has helped black students economically. The SEOS program is admitting 500 disadvantaged students to the University this fall; a majority of these are black students. Politically, the BSU has been very active on campus the past two years. Last year saw a march of black students present ing demands during a PSU-Boston football game, a day long occupation of Shields Building during Spring Term and other politically-oriented activities. Leonard stied that the organization is attempting to bring about those reforms in the University which will enable black students to make viable contributions to the black community and to mankind:" WHR and WDFM again air their views Two University-affiliated radio stations, WHR and WDFM will continue broadcasting this fall.
