(Paid Advertisement) MARK JINKS-FRANK MURACA The Jinks-Muraca ticket feels that students must have a direct and strong voice with University administrators and legislators in Harrisburg. We represent that strong student voice and plan to work with Old Main and Harrisburg to stop tuition'hikes and lobby for all other student-related issues such as allowing 18-year-old drinking, increasing veterans' benefits, etc. The only interest everyone on campus has in common is that of academics. We have developed a set of feasible plans which will better the student's academic environment and learning experience. Some of these include: —To give faculty credit towards tenure for advising —Reform the grading system to allow fora grade of +(.5) —Extend the Drop and Pass-Fail deadlines —Create an Office of Academic Reform to handle student needs concerning academic change. The Jinks-Muraca ticket realizes it not only represents students on the academic Iqyel, but that is programs should affect the political and social environments of the people it serves. Programs designed especially with this in mind include: A student/faculty/adminlstration Security Review Committee to set the priorities and practices of Campus Patrol and to insure protection against crime without in vasion of privacy. —An extension of the prepaid bus system Hiring a full-time lawyer to represent students in court —Provide telephone rentals for individual dormitory rooms The Jinks-Muraca team plan to use their experience in dealing with University administrators and politicians to implement feasible and common sense programs designed to aid all students. CENTER HALLS AREA Susan Beemer (6th Term, English Major, 3.51 CUM.) A representative is someone who works within the criteria of the system for the interests of those he represents. He must be conscientious in fulfilling his duties. I feel a representative can only be successful if he is sensitive to and has regard for those he works for and with. Richard Hoffman I served in the USG Senate since September where I held a seat on its Government Operations Committee. I have been active in CHRA and edited the Centre Newsletter. If re elected, I will continue to represent and serve you as Senator. Kathleen Wazybok (P.C.) - (9th Term, EEC Major) This past year I have been actively involved as USG Senator. I have chaired its Appropriations Committee, and sit on the Associated Student Activities Budgetary Committee. But I still remained active in Centre Halls by participating in most of CHRA's activities. I would appreciate your support in the upcoming election. Stan "Zooty" Zoltak (9th Term, Pre-Law, 2.40) I, Stan Zoltak, am seeking the position of Senator for the Centre Halls Area. To me, a Senator acts as a middleman between the student and his student government. His job Is to provide input to his constituents. Besides this, he should serve on committees being an active member of the Senate and not just’an avid listener. EAST HALLS AREA District 1 Madge Ludwig I am running for U.S.G. Senate because I'm interested In how Penn State can be of best service to the students going to school here, and because there are some ways that the University is unfair to the studenfs, and I would like to see this stopped. USG is the lisison between the students and the administration, and if students are made more aware of USG, they will know more about the things that are affecting them. I am in favor of an immediate halt to the rapidly rising tuition, reforms in the grading system and other academically oriented policies, more student awareness of how the Legal Affairs department can benefit them, and how USG funds can be best used for all students. Dave Perlman (3rd Term, Pre-Law Major, 3.43 CUM.) My platform is supportive of the cumulative interests of the Tower Dorm residences in East Halls, as well as propose and initiate new ideas in their behalf. Included are : an “east" Rec Hall, increased open hours of the FUB and Fisher Hall, and relocation of the inner loopbusstop back to its original site. EAST HALLS AREA District 2 Debra Blumberg (3rd Term, College of Education, 3.60 CUM.) Through my University involvements including: house presidency; service volunteer; cafeteria employee; Fall 73 Orientation Committee, my sincerity, responsibility, and enthusiasm indicate strong commitment. Performing specified duties if elected, I’ll also strive for active con stituent rapport through personal contact and newsletters. While representing student concerns, I hope to improve identification with USG. Thomas Cali (3rd Term, Environmental Engineering Major, 2.40 CUM.) Being the largest dorm area on campus, East Halls needs a strong voice in the Affairs of the University. As a USG Senator I will do my best to give East Halls proper representation and to inform the residents as to what is happening in their government. David R. Paga (6th Term, Political Science Major, 2.64 CUM.) As a senator I feel it will be my responsibility to makefile office more accessable to the students. So they know who I am and that I will listen and act on their suggestions or complaints. I will also work for greater freedom in dorm living. EAST HALLS AREA District 3 Dan Palermo (3rd Term Biology Major) Representation of any kind Is a vital constituent of the governmental process. It is most Important to the people who yere affected by that government. I intend to do the best (possible job protecting and fighting for student rights. \ Support USG and pull yourself out from the under the ad ministration’s feet! Sandra Walters (6th Term, Pre-Law Major, 3.46 CUM.) I want primarily to be a representative of the actions, ideas, or proposals favored by the students. I will work for: a direct student lobby in Harrisburg a more efficient and beneficial academic advising system more student input in residence hall regulatio direct communication between students, USG and the administration. NORTH HALLS AREA Dale Clift (6th Term, Pre-Law, 2.89 CUM) Having been a resident of North Halls for nearly two years, I am aware of the problems and attitudes of this area and feel qualified to represent these students. I am basing my campaign on my willingness to work for ROBERT ANGELO-JOHN ROCCO The Robert Angelo-John Rocco campaign for USG is unique. When the students read our platform statement, they will find it less attractive than other candidates. The. reason for this is that we are not about to make a lot of lofty promises to get elected. The emphasis of the Angelo-Rocco campaign is not what will be done, but how it will be done. The platform statement contains carefully researched plans. While other candidates are busy making promises for expanded course offerings, Robert Angelo created the L.A. 189 Peace Studies course and John Rocco established and served on the Health Advisory Board for Ritenour while other candidates promise in vestigations. Ang and Rocco are ready to deal with your concerns in a practical manner; looking at all factors to find the most feasible solution. On the issue of tuition hikes and budget cuts; Ang and Rocco are prepared to work with Temple, Pittsburgh, and other state colleges in a united front to secure more funds. Both students, administrators, and workers at these places want more funds. It is the only practical solution. Robert Angelo and John Rocco will work with the administration where the decisions affecting you are made. Ang and Rocco are asking for your support, not only now but after the elections are over so all of your concerns can be worked upon. Ang and Rocco have taken the time to try to see each and every one of you during the campaign. They feel that they warrant your consideration and thank you for your support. you. The USG senator’s role should not be a passive one, but an active one. I am not a stranger to the activities and operations of USG. My involvement in the Legal Affairs Department has made me fully aware of the importance of student cooperation, not only between USG members and students but also within the organization of USG. If elected, I believe that I can be accurate and unbiased in my representation of North Halls. Michael A. Coyle (3rd Term, Political Science) Student Government on this campus today needs reform. It should be a service to students, not a group of elites, who can never be found. If elected, I hope to improve communication between USG and the students, and initiate reform in this University. Jeffrey Culp (3rd Term, Biology, 2.61 CUM) I, Jeffrey-Culp, a third term Biology major, declare my candidacy for the senatorial race in the area designated as North Halls. The reasons for my candidacy are as follows: All too often, senators do not represent the constituents in their area. In fact, most of the people in this University do not know their senators and quite a few do not even know that USG even exists. As senator, I feel that I can best represent my constituents by working with ARHS, attending house meetings in my area, thus letting the people know that they can come to me with their problems, and, at the same time, better acquainting myself with the problems that face North Halls as a whole so that I amy work towards legislation that will benefit North Halls as well as the entire University. Steve Dansky Steve Dansky is a sophomore with good academic stand ing running for USG Senate representing North Halls. He has been living in North Halls and knows what North is all about. He believes that . . . 1. Those who are being displaced by interest houses should be guaranteed certain rights in accordance with their preference as to where they want to live. 2. Plans to enlarge Park Avenue shourd be halted. 3. Students should have more rights In regard to their own rooms stop hallwalking by C.P.’s and R.A.’s mandatory legal search warrants. 4. Indoor bike storage should be instituted as protection against theft. POLL&CK-NITTANY HALLS AREA Regina Canuso (3rd Term, College of Human Development, 3.23 CUM.) I feel the power of students lies not in one representative voice gently pleading the cause of thirty thousand students; rather, it lies in the thirty thousand students asserting themselves loudly and clearly. What is needed is the mobilization of student power into a collective voice and active body. For this reason I am supporting and running with George Cernusca and the Students’ Rights Party. Jerry Doyle (9th Term, Political Science Major, 2.74 CUM.) Experience Delaware County Commonwealth Campus SGA Platform a. Be responsive to Pollock-Nittany student needs by working closely with PNRHA officials. b. Be available to constituents by posting office hours. c. Support move to investigate budget cuts/tuition hikes. d. Work for better communication with Commonwealth Campuses. Roger Marietta (6th Term, Political Science Major, 3.17 CUM.) I am a candidate because I want to help bring about change in the University system where it is needed. More specifically, I would like to see the removal of Raymond O. Murphy, Donald Suit, and Larry Govedich from their respective positions and student participation in the selection of their replacements. Clyde Sheehan (4th Term, Accounting Major, 3.20 CUM.) Clyde Sheehan was appointed to the Senate on Feburary 22. In his brief term of office he co-sponsored a bill to put pencil sharpeners in Willard classrooms. If re-elected he hopes to extend the hours of Pollock Library, provide telephone rentals for individual dormitory rooms, and push for better dining hall service. SOUTH HALLS AREA James C. Becker (3rd Term, Electrical Engineering Major, 2.80 CUM.) I plan to try to improve communication between the USG and South Halls residents. This will include attending floor meetings on a regular schedule, attending all South Halls Council meetings, and establishing glose relationships with resident assistants and floor representatives. Karen Crawford Very few residents of South Halls know who their senators are much less what they have done. To alleviate this situation I would plan to use the money allotted me for publication to publish periodic reports to be distributed to the residents. I also plan to canvas the area occasionally and regularly attend dorm meetings, floor meetings and South Halls Council meetings. Donna Kalafian (4th Term, Business Administration Major, 3.09 CUM.) 1. Give dormitory students the option of utilizing cafeteria services or providing their own food. USG VOTERS GUIDE Candidates for Presidency Candidates for Senate 1973 GEORGE CERNUSCA-GARY POTTER Student government can no longer be a mere collection of committees run by a few self-interested individuals. It is time for the student body to demand that USG represents, and fights for student’s interests. The responsibility for USG’s inaction and ineffectiveness rests squarely on the shoulders of a small clique whose goal has been self-perpetuation, not student needs. There is no room for bureaucrats and cynics in USG. We do not intend to represent the interests of Old Main, nor do we intend to compromise the real power of students. Our opponents use words like moderation and common sense. We need only to point out that there is a difference between crawling and walking. The present USG ad ministration has students down on their knees. The Students Rights Party intends to fight for the rights of students. The power of USG rests in the student body, it is high time USG's leaders realized this. The Students Rights Party will: 1. Fight the tuition hikes and budget cuts we have a right (o.know how the University spends our money. We have the power to fight tuition increases on campus and in the courts. 2. We will demand real student power on University governing bodies, not just tokenism. 3. We will fight for the rights of students renting in town. 4. We will mobilize students working in town to protect them against poor wages and bad working conditions. 5. We will restructure the Students Standards Board 6. We will provide protection from campus patrol harassment. 7. We will retain legal counsel for students. 8. We will establish a student board on medical care. 9. We will fight for equal rights for women and all minority groups. 2. Offer dorm contracts on a term to term basis thereby allowing students to change their living accomodations during the year. 3. Protect students from exploitation by state police on campus. Fran Zusinas (4th Term, Math Major, 3.53 CUM.) I will try to bring USG and the students of South Halls closer together through better communications. If this important problem is solved, USG can be more responsive to students' desires and attitudes. WEST HALLS AREA Bud Shaffer (6th Term, Mineral Economics Major) I have served as a member of the West Halls Council and have become more aware and interested in the needs of the students of West Halls. As a USG Senator, I will try to represent these needs and work to fulfill them. John R. Strand (3rd Term, LEC Major, 2.10 CUM.) As a senator I will work to act as a liaison between those who elect me and the student government. I believe that a senator's primary concern should be to relay information, and provide input so that the senate agenda can be planned accordingly. Senators should be willing to serve on senate committees, and to work to make senate resolutions meaningful. FRATERNITY AREA Samuel Becker (6th Term, Accounting Major, 3.49 CUM.) My objectives as Senator would be to aid Fraternity through USG Legiuslation. It is important that Fraternity receive favorable decisions. Right now USG is trying to reduce fraternity representation from three to two due to an inefficient census. IFC should receive the ability to have concerts on its own and not have to go through the Concert Committee. The USG Bus service shosld be expanded to include Fraternity areas. It’s time Fraternity receives benefits from USG. John A. Kudray (10th Term, Accounting Major, 2.154 CUM.) I have been involved in fraternity affairs both nationally and locally for the past two years. The experience that have gained has made me familiar with chapter operations and many fraternity problems. With this knowledge, I hope to represent the fraternities in student government as well as possible. William James Rogers (9th Term Psychology Major, 3.34 CUM.) Mark Singel (6th Term English Major, 3.6 CUM) I served last year as a USG Senator representing the Fraternities. If re-elected, I will continue to represent the best interests of the Fraternities, Improve communication, and work closer with IFC. Thomas M "Doc” Sweitzer(Bth Term, Political Science Major, 2.5 CUM.) Many students are apathetic toward USG and therefore know little about its workings and who is representing them. As a fraternity senator, I would attempt to remedy this by trying to visit each house at least once a term so that I may become much more responsive to the people that f represent. My main concern would be with academic reforms. TOWN AREA Vote for John F. Beirne (6th Term, Political Science Major) I am currently a member of OTIS, the Vets Club and the USG Department of Student Political Affairs. I have lived in town since February 1972. I have become aware of the problems facing students, and I feel that I can helD. Neil Brandt (9th Term, History Major) I am currently a member of Branch Campus Student Services, a division of USG. As a transfer student, Berks Campus, I am more aware of the problems faced by transfer students. Now that I have been here three terms I feel I can represent all students who live in town. Robert Bricmont As a present USG Senator, I have seen the benefits of this year. The relocated bus station and Free Route R, to mention a few. More needs to be accomplished; expanded trans portation, . grading reforms, and an alternate to the State College By-pass. Robert Bricmont will represent the interests and necessities of town students. Frank Callahan Too long has USG sat back and failed to represent the interests of the students. Rather than being a sign of student disinterest in protection of student rights, the low turnout at USG elections is an indictment of the pathetic job USG has done representing the students. As a USG Senator I would work to implement the platform of the Student Rights Party of George Cernusca and Gary Potter. Cary Dougherty (6th Term, Liberal Arts) Qualifications: 1. Former East Residence Association representative 2. Worked at decision-making level during the McGovern campaign 3. Currently Acting Director of the USG Department of Student Political Affairs The Daily Collegian Monday, April 16. 1973 JAMES CORY-JOSEPH MARINUCCI Statement of candidacy for James Cory and Joseph Marinucci The above stated persons are candidates for the offices of President and Vice President of the Undergraduate Student Government.

For the state and national Labor movement to construct a Labor Party, based on the trade unions, which can nationalize industry and provide the funds for a free higher education and a qaulity education. For a workers’ govern ment and workers’ control of industry. Platform: 1. Complete overhaul of the P.S.U. disciplinary system. 2. Maintenance, and hopefully expansion of the free bus service. 3. Hiring a USG lawyer. 4. Establishment of a lobby in Harrisburg to protect and further student interests, (i.e., no tuition hikes or spending cutbacks). Don Gringrich (7th Term, Psychology Major, 2.50 CUM.) I was appointed by OTIS in October and have served in the USG Senate since then. I stand primarily on my voting record. I voted for both Route R bus appropriations. I also introduced an amendment to the Elections Code which added a campaign receipts and expenditure disclosure clause. I have held the principle that USG should be a service organization rather than a governing body. I have supported all bills and measures which provide services to students. Walter Grabowski (6th Term, Economics Major, 2.84 CUM.) As President of NHAS and as an ARHS Council member, I have gained an understanding of how the University func tions. This understanding has convinced me that change can be accomplished only through the established channels. If elected USG Senator, i will use these channels to best represent the interests of town students. Elaine Haltman (4th Term, Biology Major, 3.34 CUM.) Services for Students 1. Expand dial-access services to include all lecture courses. 2. Work to keep the HUB open twenty-four hours a day. 3. Put copies of reserve materials, now only in Pattee Library, in Pollack and East Undergraduate Libraries as well. John Harris (9th Term, Chemistry Major) As a town senator, my major concerns will be extending the powers of USG as a governing body and working in coordination with efforts to organize both tenants and student workers into collective bargaining units. I am running on the student rights platform of presidential condidate George Cernusca. Kenneth N. Jacobs, Jr. (7th Term) I’m a seventh-term married veteran, living here year-round. I've been involved in national, local, and campus politics, and am currently on the USG Political Affairs Committee. I know Town problems. We need hard-working, capable, concerned people in the Senate. I will be such a person. Dorothy “Duffy” Lenning As a USG Senator, I would know the interests of town students by meeting with them, and by cooperating with the Organization of Town Independent Students, and enact those interests into reasonable and creative legislation. I would focus on the issues which most concern town students; mainly rental disputes and transportation. Lawrence Murin (9th Term, Community Development Major, 3.05 CUM.) I feel that a larger role in the decision-making process is the right of every student. As a student representative, I will respect and uphold this right in all student affairs, on and off campus. To attain this, I will follow the Student Rights Party platform. Anne Ross As a member of the North Halls Executive Council & Treasurer of NHAS, I have contributed to student progress in the dorm areas. No one seems to know where to begin in town because of its size and supposed apathy, so no one begins. I will begin, and I won’t stop there. Tony Stemberger (6th Term, Political Science Major) In my year on the Senate I have voted for the free night bus, a full-time trial lawyer for students, and a University-owned apartment building. I now head the committee to lobby the state legislature and next year will also push for a greater student voice in PSU budget decisions. Fred Stoner (6th Term, Education Major, 2.58 CUM.) If elected, I will continue working at my present position as a Senator in USG to establish a working relationship with those who control the University, Its programs and its moneys. I plan to work with OTIS for the many programs needed by town students. Karen Thornton (6th Term, Labor Studies Major, 3.20 CUM.) As USG Senator representing Town Students, I will be concerned with OUR problems. Working with OTIS I will improve communication between USG and Students. As a Labor Studies Major, I will generate my efforts towards organizing Student Workers. I support expanded free bus service, and will remain ACTIVE In USG. Cliff Weingus In order for USG to ever become an effective force to represent student interests, students must play a more active role than just voting once a year. If elected a USG Senator, I would bring USG back to the students. This could most successfully be done through the election of the Student Rights Party of ’George Cernusca and Gary Potter. The candidates named on this sheet are the only can didates who have returned their petitions and are officially running for the U.S.G. Senate. If you support these can didates please vote for them, as there might be write-in candidates.
