Jawbone coffeehouse
offers many programs
By PAT STEWART
Collegian Staff Writer
The Jawbone Coffee House, organized
about 10 years ago by the Lutheran
Student Parish, has increased in
popularity over the years, mainly as a
result of the hows- presented there
Friday and Saturday nights. *
However, according to Director John
Keating, the Jawbone, located at 415 E.
Foster Ave., and the only coffee house in
State College, offers a number of
, programs which the average University
I student does not take advantage of, or
perhaps, is not even aware of.
“When the Jawbone was first
organized, it was meant to be more than
just a Friday and Saturday night place,”
Keating explained. “The facilities there
are available to students every day of
the week anti it’s unfortunate that more
students don’t take advantage of them.”
Keating, a student at the Gettysburg
Seminary, hopes he will be ’able to
remedy this problem during his in
ternship with the Lutheran Student
Parish.
During the day, students are en-

Dorms begin
to abate theft
By KEN CHESTER
Collegian Junior Reporter
Beginning this week, residents of
Beaver Hall and all residence Jhalls in
East will have security receptionists on
duty at night to prevent people from
walking through the buildings
unescorted.
According to Charles C. Spence,
director of Residence Hall Programs,
this is because “security- in these
buildings has declined.” The measures
were taken to alleviate the problems of
thefts, he added.

Bill considers money procedures
House studies state aid
By GARY MAYK
Collegian Senior Reporter
A bill designed to permanently amend
the University’s organic act with respect
to appropriation’s requests, auditing
procedures and tuition fee maintenance
has been introduced to the Pennsylvania
H»use of Representatives.
House Bill. 1891 includes language of
the current University appropriations
law (1971-72 budget) and follows in
troduction of two other bills designed to
change the incorporating laws of state
related universities. House Bill 863
amends Temple’s organic law and
House Bill 1890 affects the University of
Pittsburgh.
According to House* Education
Committee Chairman James J.A.
Gallagher, principle sponsor of the bill,
the main purpose of the bill is to
establish the* language describing ap
propriations and auditing procedures
permanently in the law incorporating
the University. Gallagher said this step
would eliminate the need to include the
description in each-year’s budget bill.
was. done, thus giving it added impact.
The communique put it mildly when it
saTd: "There are essential differences
between China and the United States in
their social systems and. foreign
policies.”
..Nevertheless, discussions
seemed bound to have a far-reaching
impact, particularly in the triangular
relations developing among the three
biggest powers. This China episode
makes the Russians uncertain what to
expect and will require the Kremlin to
ponder the possibilities. The uncertain
balance is in itself a. radical factor in
world power politics.—
—Chou used his part of the communique
to send a barb in Moscow’s direction;
“China will never be a superpower and
opposes hegemony' and power politics of
any kind.”
Iniversity
said concerning student reaction
However, he added that, on a recent
survey of residence hall student opinion,
80 per cent of those responding felt'
receptionists should be placed in all
residence halls to increase security.
“If. this program , doesn’t work,”
Spence added,'“we’ll.have to extend the
-hours of coverage in the men’s residence
halls.”
He also said several of the women’s
residence halls in South and Pollock
have undertaken several programs
designed to tighten up security in their
buildings.
the second tloor ot Woll, has been
organizing the program which began
during Fall Term.
“Last term our dorm council voted to
have girls sit in the lobby from 7 p.m.
until the night receptionist came on at
midnight to make sure all males were
escorted," Miss Stark said. “Every girl
in the dorm signs up for one night a
term,” she added.
She explained there had been no real
problems with visitation violations in
Wolf, but the added security measures
were just “a preventative type thing. It’s
been pretty successful so far, and it’s
made the people here aware of their
Gallagher stressed that the terms are
not appearing for the first time in Bill
1891, but are terms being used annually
in each appropriations bill to each state,
related, university. .
Recently, °the, legislature and the
Department of Education have required
the University to describe in greater
detail the plans and expenditures of the
University concerning state money.
Provisions for continuance of these
reporting procedures are included in Bill
1891.
According to the bill, the University
may apply money from the state only for
programs designated by the legislature
in the appropriations bill. Money may
not be taken from one program to make
up for a deficiency of funds in another.
In discussing the University’s budget
request recently with The Daily
Collegian, University Vice President for
Planning and Budget Chalmers G.
Norris said it was impossible to deter
mine exactly which programs would
need less money than expected and
which' would need more. Prohibiting
transferral of funds from one program to
another created difficulties in~dealing~
with unexpected costs,- Norris added.
As in the 1971-72 budget bill, Bill 1891

Miss Stark continued.
Showers agreed with her, noting
Heister Hall may soon follow with a
similar program.
In South Halls, several programs have
been tried to increase security. The first,
according to area coordinator Art
Costantino, was similar to the program
currently running in Wolf:
The procedure there, Costantino said,
was to require people to sit iri'ihe lobbys
and challenge visitors. ‘‘We had planned
to try before the Student Standards
Board anybody who refused to sit,” he
said. ‘‘But as soon as we got some
violators, we decided we couldn’t force
anybody.tositwhen they-didn’t want to.”
This, he explained, is why the program
was dropped. f
. The present plan involves a central
comirfittee concerned with visitation.
Each floor of the residence halls in South
sends one representative to this com
mittee to report on visitation problems.
If one floor has continual violations, that
floor would lose .all visitation privileges
for two weeks.
“There has been an attitudinal change
among the girls here,” Costantino said.
“They’re more responsible and more
serious about visitation. The number of
violations has dropped considerably,”
he added. .
Costantino- said- the reasons for- the
precautions are mainly preventative.
“We’ve had no major problems here so
far,” he said.

o State funded research projects must
also be included in reports to the state
according to both this year's ap
propriations law arid House Bill -1891.
The new bill provides that the University
give the state a listing of all state sup
ported research projects and account for
each separately, give progress reports
on those projects, and list annually all
contracts with the Commonwealth.
Although the Commonwealth bill
provides that the University include in .
its appropriations request tuition and fee
schedules, Gallagher said a provision of
the bill “protects’’ the ; University from.,
the danger of insufficient funds.
If funds provided :by- the state are not
sufficient,- the University may alter its
tuition and fee schedule, as long as it
maintains an out-of-state fee at least
twice that of Pennsylvania students.
