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.).

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:"
