Handsome leather-like vinyl storage Encampment promotes unity By RICK NELSON Collegian City Editor "Things might get a little rough," coordinator Bruce Kelly told 1973 Encampment participants. He was not referring to cooking meals over an open fire or spending the night'in sleeping bags. Despite the original intent of Encampment planners to hold the event at Stone Valley, the group of student leaders, faculty members, and town, state and University officials met at the Elks Country Club i Boalsburg. The only informalities were a few participants wearing pullover sweaters rather than suits and ties or slacks rather than dresses. The roughness referred to possible arguments among participahts in the various workshops on problems facing the University and town. The arguments did not develop. While disagreements were expressed among town and University officials and students regarding the feasibility of landlord-tenant laws, the removal of cars from campus and the construction of buildings on campus and in town, each side respected the other's opinion. The consideration shown by Well, you can't win them all! Encampment members prompted University President John W. Oswald to tell a group of Encampment participants, "I'm glad we started it again." The last encampment, held in 1969 at the Mont Alto campus, did not go as smoothly. A group of bladk students demanded the original schedule of workshops be adjourned and the rest of the session be devoted to discussion of black students' problems at the University. But no one broke the peace this time. Perhaps the issues were not as big, perhaps the participants were less militant or even more apathetic. One student, commenting on the workshops planned for Saturday morning, said, "I'M more interested in lunch." But lack of participation did not seem to affect any workshop. And while some presentations may have seemed a little tedious_to the participants who spent Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m, at the Encampment, everyone left with a better understanding of the people on the other side of Old Main's walls. case included.

COLLEGE AVENUE - " 4 %q-5016 The Daily Collegian Monday, September 10, 1973- people who expected major accomplishments from the Encampment came away disappointed, As Kelly pointed out, "This isn't a place where you get things done." He added, "I think it depends where you put your expectations," as to the success of the Encampment. Kelly said the Encampment offered each of the participants plenty of time to contact other participants, if not in a workshop - then during one of the informal hours. Oswald attributed the success of the event in part to holding it locally rather than "making such a big to do" of sending participants in buses to another location. • Oswald ' told - Encampment participants in the final Encampment address, "I am very, very pleased to have it become a reality." He added he is glad there has been "perceived the need of the University and town to devise ways and means of more than chance communication." ' Kelly summed up his feelings on the Encampment, saying; "I hope that if nothing else, we come out feeling a little closer as a University community."
