Interim bookstore opens
By SUE ELLIS
Collegian Staff Writer
The University's interim bookstore opened
last week, ending a 40-year battle between
the University and downtown merchants.
Located in McAllister basement, the
bookstore carries all required texts and deals
exclusively with buying and selling text
books.
Bookstore Coordinator Dayton M. Henson
said, "We were directed to open Spring
Term, which means the time for getting
things set up was pretty tight. Students
worked right with us over break. We are in
serviceable condition now.
"If people will be patient and realize we
are just starting with all the problems of
normal operations plus the problems of a
new, inexperienced organization, we will get
things organized and within one year we will
have an operation we can be proud of,"
Henson said.
He said once the needed bookshelves arrive
conditions will improve, although space is
limited.
"We don't have adequate space. We simply
aren't large enough to do what we should do,
but we will make an endeavor to create a
bookstore atmosphere even in restricted
quarters," Henson said.
As yet no permanent hours have been
established.
"We are a service-oriented bookstore and
will meet the needs of the students as these
needs present themselves," Henson said.
Hours this week have been determined by
student use and need. An eight to five
schedule probably will be maintained later.
Many innovations have been introduced at
the bookstore.

Lists of required texts are posted ac
cording to college in the lobby for student
reference before entering the store.
Student owned books are marked for
identification upon entering the store by
ultraviolet lamps, eliminating possible thefts
of books left outside the store.
New books are coded by term and price for
detection by ultraviolet light.
The use of ultraviolet light is not a new
concept in the bookstore business but is a new
concept here at University Park, Henson
said.
The store's* interior is color-coded ac
cording to colleges for easy book location.
New shelves arriving in May will ac
commodate required texts and optional
books recommended by professors and
students related to the subject material.
"We have contacted the deans of all the
colleges and will be contacting the depart
ment heads for suggested lists of non
required readings," Henson said.
"We want to build a book image on cam
pus. It will take time since we are starting
from zero," Henson added referring to the
fact that Penn State is one of the last large
universities in the country to get its own on
campus bookstore.
"We are going to try something new with
this store. University employes don't work on
Saturdays and we are planning to be open on
Saturdays. There is a good chance that the
store will be run completely by students,"
Henson said.
Henson said this had been done suc
cessfully at other universities.
"The student employes I have worked with
here are the best I have encountered in 28
years in the bookstore business."

help for students
By TERRY WALKER
Collegian Staff Writer
Students needing legal

referred to lawyers as a
result of a survey conducted
by the Legal Affairs Com
mittee of the Organization for
Town Independent Students.
Rich Garofalo, Chairman
for Legal Affairs, said the
survey was conducted
through letters sent to
lawyers in State College and
Bellefonte. The lawyers were

Garofalo said, "Different
lawyers like to handle dif
ferent things." John Mraz,
acting OTIS president, added,
"The fee depends on what
kind of case it is, how much
time they want to spend on it
and who the person is."
Mraz explained how the
service operates. "We can't
recommend any one lawyer,"
he said. "We can show
students a list of lawyers and
what cases they will handle.
Then it is up to the student to
contact the lawyer."

counseling from University

Donation largest ever
Class divides gift
By KAREN BAER
Collegian Staff Writer
This year's senior class gift
of $22,000 is the largest
donation ever collected for
the University, according to
class President Joe
Schwachter.
Schwachter said the $22,000
will contribute $3,400 to the
Renaissance Fund, $5,600 to
University Libraries, $2,800 to
the Museum of Art, $3,200 to
commonwealth campuses
and $6,900 for unrestricted
use.
This year, seniors were
given five categories and
could' specify to which
category their donations
would go. In the past, the
class gift was not decided
until the money was collec
ted.
"Since a class of 8,000 is so
diverse, it is difficult for the
officers to decide where such
a vast amount of money
should go," Schwachter said,
adding that seniors would be
more willing to pledge money
if they had a say in where it
would go.
legal capacity
Students can be referred to
lawyers who will handle civil
and criminal cases, including
drug cases. Mraz said, "The
major cases concern the
security deposits."
Mraz explained hiring a
lawyer for the organization
would be difficult for finan
cial reasons. He estimated
$20,000 would be needed to
hire a lawyer and a secretary
for OTIS.
He said University
organizations must use their
own funds, such as proceeds
from casino nights for
providing bailbonds and
hiring legal services. "Any
money we raise is
unrestricted. Any funds from
Associated Student Activities
are restricted funds. ASA
funds cannot be used for
bailbonds or legal affairs."
The five categories were
determined by the class of
ficers in consultation with the
Penn State Foundation, which
raises funds for the
University from private
sources.
George Moellenbrock, the
Foundation's director of
annual giving, said the
University prefers funds "for
existing University programs
where a need has been
established rather than funds
for something not already
here, such as a bench or
plaque."
The commonwealth
campus category was in
cluded, Schwachter said,
because many students have
their first college experience
at a branch campus and feel
loyal to their home campus.
Although the policy for
selecting the class gift has
changed, the pledging policy
has remained the same. At
fall and winter registrations,
seniors were asked to pledge
a sum for one of the five
categories.
At graduation the sum will
be deducted from the balance
of the student's general
deposit. If the pledge exceeds
the balance of the deposit, the
balance will be transferred as
the gift.
Since a large portion of the
senior class pledged for a gift,
Schwachter said, five
categories will be offered for
future senior class gifts.
The first class gift in 1861,
was a portrait of Evan Pugh,
the University's first
president. In a joint effort the
classes from 1861 through
1866 contributed toward a
Civil War Memorial Tablet.
Plaques, benches and funds
for special causes have been
the most popular gifts
through the years. Several
classes presented organs,
Knepp enters GOP
race for supervisor
Irvin E. Knepp, a Republican, will run for College Town
ship supervisor in the May 15th primary.
A College Township resident most of his life, Knepp served
for 36 years as a tradesman instructor at the State Correc
tional Institution at Rockview before retiring in 1970.
Knepp previously worked at the University for five years
as a cabinetmaker in Industrial Engineering.
Knepp's platform stresses sound town-gown relations. "All
that live in this community have a right to be here, whether
they were born here or came here to go to school or to find
employment," he said. Knepp said all must "contribute
something constructive that will add to the betterment of our
community."
He added, "This community will never solve all its
problems, but we can work at it. Having solved one problem,
we will have learned something that will help us solve
another."

Class of 1904, while the

graduates of 1937.
The ivy flourishing on
McAllister Building was
planted by the Class of 1908.
From 1908 through 1912,
planting ivy at com
mencement was traditional.
Instead of ivy, the seniors of
1914 decided to place a
drinking fountain on Old Main
Mall. The Class of 1915 con.'
tributed a sundial mounted on ,
a turtle's back for Old Main.'
Not all gifts have withstood'
the test of time. Seniors in •
1939 invested in a ski lodge at
Bald Top Mountain near
Boalsburg. After the lodge
was destroyed by fire nine
years later, the insurance,
money was donated to the All-:
Chapel Fund. A baseball
grandstand given by 1911's
seniors was demolished in
1947. A wireless tower and
radio station from graduates
of 1912 had to be removed 12
years later because it was a
fire hazard.
Some gift suggestions have
been rejected. Money
collected for a swimming pool
fund (1919) and a student
press fund (1948) was
redesignated. Several years
ago an imaginative senior
recommended buying two
live lions to be kept in cages
on campus, but his idea was
not received well.
