USG ok's resolution
in support of HOPS
By THERESA VILLA
and RICH GRANT
Collegian Staff Writers
The Undergraduate Student Sen
ate last night passed a resolution in
support of "The Other Vision: Homo
philes of Penn State" who had their
privileges to use University facilities
suspended last week.
"USG views the revocation of
HOPS use of facilities as compromising
the powers and functions of USG. We
not only support, but demand rein
statement of the use of University
facilities for and by HOPS," the reso
lution states.
In the resolution, USG pledged sup
port of HOPS in any action it takes to
reinstate itself to gain use of Univer
sity facilities.
The resolution was passed after a
previous one was tabled. The first
resolution would have stated USG's
withdrawal of recognition of Raymond
0. Murphy, acting vice president for
student affairs. Senators discussed the
first resolution in a lengthy debate, and
made several amendments before it was
tabled.
Block Communication
Senators against the first resolution
said it would be a block to communi
cation between students and adminis
tration and would not be effective.
A HOPS member also said it would
be pointless to attack the administra
tion.
Proponents of the first resolution
argued that USG should take a stand
on important issues as a responsibility
to the students.
Ecology queries cease;
'green phone' defunct
By LINDA MARTELLI
Collegian Staff Writer
The Green Phone, which at one time
taped ecology-related students
statements, is defunct.
In its wake there remains the aban
doned framework of a green telephone
booth with the last of the series of
ecology questions still intact.
University Scientific Information Of
ficer. Gil Aberg lamented the lost green
phone. "It's too bad because it began
with a bang. At first, there were lots of
calls and people seemed interested
then all of sudden things slackened."
Phone calls dwindled from over 25
responses to three per week. Aberg said.
I,VDFM radio and the University
Department of Public I n f o r m a t i o n
installed the phone in the Hetzel Union
Building last January, in an attempt to
stimulate student interest in today's en
vironmental problems.
New Theme
Each week a new theme was posted
and students were able to use the phone
to record their questions concerning the
topic. Topics dealt with ecology and its
related fields such as water, population
and Earth Week.
On Sunday e ,, enings. WDFM would air
several of the questions and a team of
specialists would attempt to give answers
to the problems posed.
A $5 book credit supplied by Nittany
News and the Student Book Store was
awarded each week for the most thought
provoking question or comment ac
cording to Joan Kalejta. WDFM program
director. A total of $45 in prize money
was awarded until the program expired
on May 2
Student Apathy
Miss Kalejia blamed student apathy for
the termination of the program. "The
students weren't motivated to par
ticipate," she said. "It didn't seem as
though the students on the whole liked
the program. They gave no encourage
ment most comments came from
faculty members and friends of the
panelists."
Aberg diagnosed the apparent student
apathy as "possibly their preference for
working on things, and not merely asking
questions." He cited inadequate pro
motion on campus as an added cause for
the phone's failure.
' Aberg said he had noted "a big gap" in
student awareness concerning
University's role in the field of ecology,
when student responses to "Only One
Earth," a series of public service radio
announcements. "sounded as though
nothing was going on here."

The Senate passed a resolution sup
porting a lettuce boycott on campus.
Students are asked not to purchase or
eat any non-union lettuce served on
campus, in order to force the Univer
sity to buy only union lettuce. The
resolution was submitted by the State
College Lettuce Boycott committee as
part of a movement in support of the
Farm Workers Union.
A bill was passed which incorpo
rates Lichtig's campaign proposals in
to executive departments.

a department of Student Welfare, the
Department of Legal Affairs and the
Department of the Treasury.
Student Welfare
The Department of Student Wel
fare will administer a student loan
agency, a consumer information bur

will be appointed by the president.
In the department of Legal Affairs,

The Department of the Treasury
includes four bureaus to keep accounts

Academic Assembly. Each department
will be incorporated into the total
USG budget.
The Student Senate passed a bill

environmental findings of the University
to its students, he said.
According to Aberg. the extinct green
phone is a partial indication of student
disinterest in campus research. "From
25,000 kids, we couldn't get more than 25
calls a week," he noted.
The weekly tally of phone calls did not
include belches, obscenities or curiosity
callers, according to Miss Kalejta. "At
first, all of the calls were legitimate.
There were no obscene calls until the
idea went downhill." she claimed. She
noted some unconventional remarks that
were phoned in, such as "Why is there
air?" and "Only Jesus Christ could save
us it's not in the hands of science."
Miss Kalejta and Aberg agreed that
they were willing to reinstate the green
phone and to revise the program in the
interest of the students. "Don't let
ecology die over the summer. We're urg
ing response; and something comparable
could be devised by next fall," Miss Kale
jta said.
Due to Newgate meeting cancellation
Oswald criticized
By ROD NORDLAND
Collegian Senior Reporter
Project Newgate student Michael
Shields yesterday criticized University
President John W. Oswald's cancellation
of a planned meeting with Newgate stu
dents as an attempt by the president to
avoid the Ndwgate-Newview issue.
Shields said that the president's can
cellation of the meeting indicates that he
is unwilling to hear the Newgate side
of the issue.
Newgate and Newview both are pro
posals for prison higher education pro
grams being considered by the Bureau
of Corrections. Newgate has been in
effect here for two years with professor
of law enforcement Jay Campbell, Jr.
as director. Last Monday a task force
appointed by the attorney general held
hearings into the relative merits of the
two proposals. At that time, a letter from
the president was read into the record
saying that he supported the changeover
to Operation Newview.
At the hearings, lo witnesses testi
fied against introducing Newview and
three testified for it. Witness La.
testified that he feels the president is

tinuation of the pilot prison program.

Bobrowsky said the proposed board

The six-member board, the first of

Disarmsbyville
Camp

Collegian Senior Reporter
The University Department of Se
curity has asked owners to remove tents
pitched on the lawn of Old Main, acting
Vice President for Student Affairs Ray
mond 0. Murphy told The Daily Col
legian in an interview yesterday.
Murphy said the University received
a number of complaints that the tenting
area is becoming both a public nuisance
and a health hazard.
The tenting area, originally knov,n as
Disarmsbyville, vas set up to protest
research on herbicides carried out by the
department of agriculture.
Referring to what is left of Disarms
byville, Murphy charged, "It's simply
past the point of its original intent as
I understand it."
Time for Removal
The tents were there for a purpose
in the beginning, but now they don't
seem to be accomplishing anything, lie
said. "I think it's time they remove
them," he added.
According to a public information
release, representatives of the department
of security investigated the tenting area
early yesterday morning and found that
most of the tents were occupied by non
student minors from the State College
area.
Ownership of the tents is reported
to vary from two teenage girls from a
high school in Centre County to, Univer
sity students and one University em
ployee.
Missing Juveniles
Security officers had received com
plaints that missing juveniles including
a 12-year old girl have been reported
to be residing in the tent area. The of
ficers also reported that some tents con
tained wine and beer in violation of Uni
versity rules.
One of the tents, owned by an 18-
year-old non-student, was removed by
its owner yesterday morning. Two stu
dents also voluntarily removed their tents
Working with a subcommittee of

Board of Trustees "certainly consistent"
with the governor's views on student
involvement in education.
Murphy said that he is "generally
in favor" of havinc , a student on the
Board, but it "immediately raises the
question" of why the faculty is not in
cluded in the membership. "Why not
have representatives from all the facets
of the University?" Murphy asked.
The effectiveness of the student ap
pointed to the Board "depends upon how
well the student functions and how
seriously it is taken," Murphy said. "He
can be made all the more effective
because he is the only one representing
students," he added.
Murphy said he does not think it
realistic that one student can represent
the whole student body: rather he will
"represent himself as a student."
Murphy told The Collegian he has
no comment on the announcement that
members of the "Other Vision: Homo

injunction against the University to de
mand the return of their privileges until
the University has determined the legal

Veterans Advisory Board
to send out questionnaire
By MITCHELL CHERNOFF
Collegian Staff Writer
The Advisory Committee for Veterans
Affairs will be sending out a question
naire to all 1.500 veteran students here
to find out what their major problems
are.
At a meeting of the advisory board
fast night, was decided that a question
naire was necessary to determine vet
eran's concerns before the committee
could start working on them.
The Veterans Advisory Board was
set up earlier this month by University
President John W. Oswald to investigate
and make recommendations to him con
cerning the problems of veterans on this
campus.
According to members of the board,
the questionnaire is the first step before
Chatham. John Elliot. George \Vintner
and Hal Masover also will appear.
There will be graffitti paper and paint
available for students to express them
selves artistically.
The project has the cooperation of
several downtown merchants. The Stu
dent Bookstore will be giving away smile
buttons and People's Nation will pass
out balloons.
Students will be stationed all over
campus, giving out various items and
instructing passers-by to go to Old Main
Lawn to join in the "giving" atmosphere.
Disabled veterans and nursery school
children also will be given smile buttons.
The children will be bussed to campus to
jam in the festivities.
If rain should once again spoil Gentle
Thursday plans, the event will more than
likely be postponed for another week,
according to Miss Snyder,

Gentle Thursday, sponsored by the

"It's done that sort of thing in the
past, so it's no surprise to me," he
added.
Colloquy. 'he said, was not successful
in terms of the number of students who
attended the speeches and workshops—
but "you can't measure the quality of
it in terms of sheer numbers."
Murphy called the workshops he at
tended "excellent." adding that he heard
a "lot of intense discussion."
Referring to the University Concert
Committee, designed to be the exclusive
sponsor of popular entertainment events
at the University, Murphy said he is
"very optimistic" that the UCC could
prove to be a "good solution" to prob
lems w hich have chronically plagued
concerts on campus.
He said he hopes that the UCC
will create a concert program for the
good of all the students. Murphy called
his open meeting with the Black Staff
Assistants last week "reasonably suc
cessful,- but said ne was disappointed
that more students did not attend the
meeting.
However, he said, it proved very

system of Pennsylvania.
These three former inmates of the
State Correctional Institute at Hunting
don, plus two others who are still in
mates at Huntingdon. formed CRIME
to speak to the public and "tell it like
it is" about the prison system.
According to Davis. CRIME's aims
since its inception have been to organize
outside the prison and to bring reform
by making the general public and
legislators aware of life in prison.
CRIME also plans to help the in
mates' families by setting up day care
centers and arranging family visits so
the inmates "don't lose contact with
the outside."
Davis said he has arranged a meet
ing with an official in the office of the
mayor of Philadelphia to discuss the
incorporation of CRIME.
Davis said that legislators should
"abolish the parole board as it now
stands" because "it is only an exten
sion of custody." Parolees not only
have to obey federal, state and city
laws, but also parole board laws.
Davis said these rules are so exten
sive that a parolee must ask permis
sion to get married. The parole board
then investigates his fiancee before
giving permission for the marriage.
"If you're going to put me out
there. trust me," Davis said.
The system of custody is Davis's
biggest complaint about the penal sys
tem because it "dehumanizes and regi
mentizes a man, turning him into an
animal."
Davis stated that only 15 per cent
of the inmates actually need to be im
prisoned. The other 85 per cent, he
said, should be receiving counseling
outside the prisons from trained psy
chologists and social workers.
He also advocates that prison
guards be trained in social work and
counseling.
the committee can make specific sug
gestions to Oswald.
45 Questions
The questionnaire, as it is set up now,
contains about 45 questions. They concern
general information on material status
and dependents as well as inquiries into
money problems, difficulties in adjust
ing to college life, and psychological prob
lems. There also will be space for any
recommendations the veterans may have.
John Swords, assistant to the vice
president of student affairs, admitted the
survey would be less than scientific.
According to Swords, the earliest it could
be put out in perfectly reliable form is
next Fall Term. Swords explained,
"We've been fussing with this problem a
whole year and w•e haven't gotten any
thing accomplished."
Swords added the survey would give
the board some idea of what they have
to look into so that action can be taken
right away.
Board Agrees
The other members of the board
agreed. Col. William Cox. admissions of
ficer. said. "We've been working in this
thing long enough. Let's get it out."
It was added that many of the ques
tions will be rephrased before they are
sent out, to eliminate all possible bias.
The group will ask Oswald to write
a letter to be sent along with the ques
tionnaire, asking the veterans for their
full cooperation.
Swords said, "The response to this
will not be as great as it would have been
at the beginning of the term, If the
president puts a cover letter on it, we
can cover that deficiency."
The committee also decided to ask
Oswald to appoint John Brugel, veterans
officer. to the board.
Brugel was appointed by Oswald to
handle veterans problems in all areas.
A number of committee members sug
gested that Brugel should be given paid
veteran assistants to help him with other
duties so he could concentrate full time
