After receiving a number of
complaints about poor conditions at
Eastgate Apartments, the Organization
of Town Independent Students today will
mail a survey aimed at reducing rents to
all Eastgate tenants.
OTIS President Bruce Kelly said he
hopes the survey, which will categorize
all types of datnage found in the
apartment complex, will decrease
Eastgate rents byl 20 per cent. .
After touring Eastgate this weekend
with apartment manager Gene
Parenzan, Kelly said the majority of the
40 apartments contained serious
damages.
"I found the place to be a mess," Kelly
said. "There are so many repairs that if
I were the manager I'd go bananas."
As reasons . for a possible rent
reduction, Kelly said some tenants were

Kelly said the tenants in one

kitchen faucet would not stop running.
Kelly also said air-conditioning is either

Argentinians cast votes
Peron win forecast
BUENOS AIRES (AP) Millions•of
Argentinians yesterday cast their
ballots in elections expected to return
Juan D. Peron to the presidency 18 yeaTA
after he was ousted in a coup.
Peron said his name was not included
in a list of eligible voters because he was
exiled in Madrid when the list was
completed six months ago. But the 77-
year-old general• voted anyway at
polling station in 'the residential,
northern district of Buenos Aires. ~
He was cheered by many of the people
lining up.
Juan D. Peron was elected president of
Argentina again yesterday, 18 years
after he was ousted from power by a
military coup.

PSUBranch drops case

PSUBranch, the union of Penn State
branch campus faculty members, will
not contest a Pennsylvania Labor
Relations Board ruling against a
separate Commonwealth Campus union.
Rather, it will seek to unionize the entire
University, according to PSUBranch
Vice President Thomas Badger.
Badger last night told the Daily
Collegian PSUBranch will host an
organizational meeting for all
University facutty members Oct. 7 in
State College.
PSUBranch originally had planned to
file exceptions to the PLRB ruling at a
hearing scheduled for Sept. 19, Badger
General Electric every day for two
weeks," he said.
Another reason for the slow repair
pace is the high number of damages last
year, Parenzan said. "The kids were
just malicious with us," he noted.
Eastgate, formerly known as Bluebell
Apartments, originally was the property
of Laurel Glen Apartments' owner Bert
Rudy. Last spring the complex went
bankrupt and was purchased by Rojay
Management of New Jersey, which owns
Southgate Apartments.
Sousa said Eastgate's condition has
deteriorated since the purchase. But, he
added this is not entirely the
management's fault, since Rojay
inherited most of the problems from the
old management.
According to Parenzan, Eastgate's
owner will be in State College today to
check the situation.
OTIS advises tenants with repairs still
to be made to call Sousa.

Weary and nervous, the Scheschs told
newsmen at the Miami airport they had
been in Chile 2 and a half years,
conducting research for their doctoral
degrees in history and sociology.
The two said they were arrested Sept.
14 when Chilean troops bursts into their,
home and found news clippings, books
and other material considered Marxist
and subversive.
Schesch said he was beaten on the
night he was arrested. "They told me I
would be shot," Schesch said.
"We knew a lot of government people
and politicians and were were studying
some of the government programs," Ms.
Schesch said. "Later, we were told this
was subversive. It was virtually
impossible to live in Chile and not have
contact with people now considered
subversives."

Official returns showed that the
Perons were assured of a majority well

More than 14 million citizens over 18
years of age were entitled to vote. Their
choices were among:
—Peron and, his third wife, Isabel
Martinez, presidential and vice
presidential candidates of the
Justicialist Liberation Front, formed by
the majority Peronist movement and

Penn State has no recognized faculty
bargaining unit now. PSUBranch had for
several years been designing a union to
represent branch campus faculty only,
contending they serve a function
different from their colleagues at
University Park.
"We are primarily a teaching
campus," Jacqueline Zemel,
PSUBranch president and math teacher
at Ogontz, said last year. "At University
Park, much more emphasis is placed on
research. Therefore, the value systems
are different."
Other persons also have suggested
branch campus faculty are more
favorable toward unionization and
feared including large numbers of
enthusiastic University Park faculty in
voting would mean a defeat for
collective bargaining, or at least a
dilution of the union's strength.
But early this month Zemel told the
Collegian she saw signs - this summer
that University Park is growing more
Landlord-tenant bill slated
for State College hearings
Public hearings on the new
Pennsylvania landlord-tenant bill will be
held in State College next month.
The hearings, scheduled to begin 9
a.m. Oct. 26 in the HUB Assembly Room,
will include visits to local apartment
complexes. Bruce Kelly, Organization of
Town Independent Students president,
said details have not been completed but
Eastgate Apartments definitely will be
on .the agenda.
State Senator Michael A. O'Pake, D-
Berks, who sponsored the bill, said the
present Landlord-Tenant Act, written in
1951, "is not adequate to meet today's
rental housing problems.
"Our committee hopes to see firsthand
at Penn .State some of the problems
facing students who need decent off
campus housing," O'Pake said.
Some controversial provisions in the
new bill state that: •
—a lease or rental agreement cannot
require , a tenant to waive his legal
rights;

University and local government
officials are ready to begin a series of
discussions which could result in an

Transportation Committee has
discussed adding a "campus loop" to
one of the Centre Area Transit bus
routes provided they could obtain
funds from the University to run the
system.

probably would lose money and there
are no state funds available to offset
the losses. He said the route could be

The election was the second this year.
On March 11, Peronist candidate Hector

interested in faculty unionization.
She said she now feels "the campus
faculty can work things out with the
University Park faculty" because "the
Commonwealth Campus problems,
severe as they are, are now
overshadowed by the problems of the
University as a whole."
Evidence that Harrisburg seeks more
direct control over the state-related
universities has nudged many
University Park faculty to look into
organizing, she said. "Are we going to
have homogenization throughout the
whole state, and should we have this,"
she asked.
She cited examples of efforts at tighter
state control were the Snyder
Amendment, a legislative order that
state-related universities report how
many hours their faculty spend on
academic work as a condition for
receiving their annual appropriation,
and statements from State Secretary of
Education John Pittinger favoring an
Open University with a possible new
superstructure.
—security deposits would be limited to
one month's rent or $llO, whichever is
greater;
—both tenant and landlord must agree
on a statement of the dwelling unit's
condition before occupancy;
—the rental agreement must name the
person authorized• to manage the
dwelling unit and the owner or person
authorized to act for the owner;
—all residential properties would have
to be registered with the Secretary of the
Commonwealth;
—both tenant and landlord legally
would be responsible for maintaining a
safe, clean and habitable unit; and
—eviction of a tenant for bringing
complaints against a - landlord or for
joining a tenant organization is illegal.

hearings should contact Kelly at the

help finance it.
Jinks said $4,200 in student funds
are available for some sort of public
transit system on campus.
According to Jinks, there is some
question as to who owns the legal
rights to campus streets and what
these rights would cost if the
University wanted to purchase them.
Jinks said he would like to see some
arrangement where Univei•sity and
local funds were combined to
organize a bus system in the .area.
Jinks added even ifan agreement is
reached, an on-campus bus system is
still a couple of months off.
Though the big assembly hall is
commonly half empty through much of
the general debate, Kissinger can expect
