NEWTON, Mass. After shaking
off a tough Boston College team
Saturday with a 45-26 win, Penn
State accepted its fifth post-season
bowl bid in the last six years, a New
Year's Eve trip to the Sugar Bowl
against Oklahoma in New Orleans
"It is with a great deal of pride
and personal pleasure that we
accept the invitation of the Sugar
Bowl Committee to be part of their
1972 Classic." said University
President John W. Oswald in a
written acceptance. “The trip is a
reward to a fine 1972 Penn State
team and its superb coaching
staff "
Director Monk Simon extended the
bid to Penn State at 7 p.m. in the
plush Boston Marriot Hotel
Saturday night. In attendance were
Penn State representatives coach
Joe Paterno, Athletic Director Ed
Czekaj and Robert Scannell, Dean
of the College of Health Recreation
and Physical Education.
Although Penn State received an
informal Sugar Bowl bid in
University Park Tuesday night, due
to National Collegiate Athletic
Conference rules, no team was
allowed to accept an invitation until
after 6 p.m. Saturday Earlier, the
sixth-ranked Lions enjoyed their
ninth straight victory,' but ac

No good faith indicated
By GINNY BENTZ

A report submitted at a recent
meeting of Committee W of the
American Association of University
Professors indicates there has been a
lack of “good faith" efforts to hire
women and minorities in the College of
Human Development.
Good faith efforts are implicit in the
development of an Affirmative Action
Program to comply with federal law, but
have not occurred in the college since
the first program was prepared by
University administrators two years
ago, according to the report.
Out of 65 faculty members hired in
Human Development in the period 1971
to 1972, three are black and of those
three two are instructors in the Dean’s
Office, having no regular teaching
responsibilities.
Excluding the nursing faculty,
because many of them are located at the
Hershey Medical Center, the sex ratio is
35 men to 10 women, the report said. A
listing of the ranks indicates men occupy
more of the higher positions.

"The bowl people are pretty much
stuck with their decisions,’’ Simon
said during Saturday’s game. “I’d
have to check with our committee if
anything unusual came up, but it
looks like all of the bowl people are
committed to certain teams. There
are really no other teams to select.’’
The Sugar Bowl game, worth
approximately $420,000 to Penn
State, is set for Dec. 31 at 9 p.m.

Paterno, who accepted the official
acceptance plaque, commented on
his Penn State team which has gone
undefeated since an opening loss to
Tennessee Sept 16.
"The lowest part of the season
was when we were behind against
lowa with three minutes to play,”

A breakdown into the four divisions of
the college shows male faculty members
outnumber women by seven to three in
Biological Health, by five to one in Man
Environment Relations, by 12 to one in
Community Development and by 10 to
six in Individual and Family Studies, the
report said.
“An analysis of the total faculty of 36
in the Division of Man Environment
Relations shows that those units con
cerned with clothing and textiles, food
services and housing have 13 female and
10 male faculty members. There are no
minorities represented in the entire
division,” the report said.
In contrast, the recently formed man
environment option is staffed by 13 men
and no women, according to the report.
“The salary discrepancy between men
and women in this division is thought to
be among the most extreme in the
University,” the report said.
In the division of Community
Development “the hiring of the past
year also shows a move away from
affirmative action with 12 appointments
of men and one appointment of a woman
University may lose
The University may lose the $2 million
amended to its appropriations bill last
month, and it may take until January to
decide.
The deciding process begins today,
when a conference committee of the two
chambers of the state legislature will
meet to discuss differences in the ap-
propriations bills for Penn State, the
University of Pittsburgh and Temple
University. All three have been held up
on Senate amendments to the House
bills.
The only difference in the Penn State
bills is the so-called “Snyder Amend
ment,” added by Sen. Richard A.
Snyder, R-I3th, to all three bills.
The amendment requires all state
related universities to provide before
March a list of all teachers who are not
teaching 12 hours a week, and explain
why not. Failure to provide such a list
would result in the state’s withholding
payment on the appropriation.
The amendment does not specify what
might happen should a significant
number of teachers be found to be
teaching less than a full workload.
The Pitt and Temple bills were given,
along with Penn State, an extra $2
million in a second amendment. Only
Penn State received this extra money in
the House.

When the conference committee meets
today, the Snyder Amendment and the
extra money for Pitt and Temple will be
discussed. It is possible the additions
as an instructor,” the report said.
Between March 1969 and July 1972 the
percentage of female faculty members
in the division of Individual and Family
Studies was reduced from 70 per cent to
44 per cent, the report said. There is one
minority representative in this division
who is counted twice because of a joint
appointment, according to the report.
The hiring of the past 12 months “is
continuing the trend to less utilization of
women, although the number of women
with Ph.D.’s in the subject area covered
is among the highest for all disciplines
nationally,” the report said.
The division of Biological Health “has
developed a balanced sex ratio during
the past three years of change,” the
report said. It said 1972 figures show 11
male faculty members to 13 female
faculty members, excluding 26 members
from the Department of Nursing.
“The only two black faculty with
substantial teaching responsibilities,
although they are both administrators as
well, are in this division of the college,”
the report said.
Paterno said. “But Huffy (quar
terback John Hufnagel) took us
down the field, and we pulled it out.
Somehow, I knew he would do that
kind of thing for us.
“We had a little trouble at the
beginning of the season,” he said.
"John Cappelletti and Bob Nagle
were having trouble getting ad
justed to their new positions, and we
also had trouble with our inside
linebackers and wide receivers. I
guess the two close games with
Navy and lowa gave us some
momentum.”
Oklahoma, the nation’s fourth
ranked team, has Paterno thinking
already.
“I think we’ll have a good,
representative team that will put up
a tough game against Oklahoma,”
he said. “I’ll probably be seeing
Greg Pruitt (the Sooners’ top
rusher) in my sleep for the next few
weeks.”
“Oklahoma’s been one of the
great tearfts of the past decade and
we'll have our work cut out for us”
Paterno added. But it will be a lot of
fun going down there and facing
another Wishbone offense ”
Under Paterno the Lions have a 3-
0-1 record in bowl competition
After tying Florida State, 17-17, in
the 1967 Gator Bowl Penn State
defeated Kansas, 15-14, in the 1969
Orange Bowl, Missouri, 10-3, in the
1970 Orange Bowl, and Texas, 30-6,
in last year’s Cotton Bowl.

Rep James J.A Gallagher. D-28th, is

Legislators prepare b
HARRISBURG (AP) - The
legislature goes into what could be its
final week today, prepared to send a
strict anti-abortion bill to the governor
and possibly revive a no-fault car in
surance plan.
Leaders said the legislature will
remain in session the first two days of
this week and, if necessary, come back
for two days after Thanksgiving. .
The abortion measure, which outlaws
all abortions unless a woman’s life is
threatened, is expected to receive final
approval today from the House, which
passed the measure last June, 157-34.
The House must decide whether to
concur in an amendment in the Senate
version, passed 39-0 last week.
The measure, which would be among
the strictest in the nation would then go
to Gov. Shapp, whose position is still
unclear.
Shapp says he personally opposes
abortion but finds the pending bill
unacceptable, because it does not meet
any of the guidelines proposed by his all
female Abortion Law Commission.
Some leaders believe Shapp will veto
the bill, but not until after the legislature
officially goes out of existence on Nov.
30. Then lawmakers will not be able to
come back and override the veto.

proponent. “I have no quarrel with

bad giving Penn State $2 million extra
but not Pitt and Temple. There is a
chance Penn State's extra money may
be removed, he said
One of the conferees is Sen. Benjamin
R Donolow, chairman of the Senate
Appropriations Committee. His com
mittee already has decided once to
remove the extra money, stripping a
House amendment from the bill before
sending it to the floor of the Senate
where the money was re-amended into
the bill.
Last May, when University President
John W. Oswald traveled to Harrisburg
to present his budget request to a Senate
budget hearing, Donolow spearheaded
the questioning and attacked Penn State
on several points, including University
ownership of two aircraft and pilot
training in the Reserved Officer
Training Corps.
Donolow then said he would block

to override him.”
Mullen said he “extended all kinds of
courtesies” to Shapp in not pushing the
anti-abortion bill until the Abortion Law
Commission came up with its recom

time for Democrats and Republicans in
both chambers. The two parties will
meet to select their leaders for the two
year session beginning in January. The
respective meetings are scheduled for
tomorrow.
Action also is expected this week on
bills to provide free transit rides for the
elderly, to give school districts $43
million from federal revenue sharing
funds and to amend the constitution to
permit a graduated state income tax.

The conferees met with Shapp last
week to discuss alternative proposals but
no agreements were reached.
Richard Doran, a top Shapp aide,
said: “There is a willingness to talk and
to talk seriously. We’ll continue our
effort to get the bill passed before the
session ends.”
Sen. William Sesler, D-Erie, a con
feree who backs Shapp on no-fault, was
pessimistic a compromise could be
worked out. “I don’t know if we have the
time. No-fault is a complicated,
technical issue,” Sesler said.

At a press conference held a week
later, Oswald said the HEW report found
“the University is not in noncompliance
with any executive order, but there are
areas where its compliance is not totally
adequate.”
WEAL filed its complaint under
Executive Order 11246 which forbids
giving funds to a federal contractor who
discriminates because of sex, race,
color, religion or national origin. Oswald
said the full report would be made public
after it was reviewed by the ad
