However, we do suggest that before signing petitions studenti should have a _clear understanding of PnnPlßG's organizational structure and, the mechanism for eitablishing priorities and, allodating funds for specific projects. PennPIRG would not be a Penn StatePlßG but a' sjatewide organization headquartered in Harrisburg. With 50,000 students at $2 per term the Penn State contribution could reach $300,000 which could be almost the entire Penn- PlRG•operating budget. Will the participation of our students in making decisions be in proportion to this major .financial commitment, and will there be'assurances of significant•local projects, which are convenient for direct, personal in volvement? For various reasons you may be for or against PennPIRG. Whatever your decision it should be made with as much in formation as possible. With this in mind, answers to the following questions should be solicited from the petitioning group. 1. With regard to organization of the Harrisburg staff, exactly how will Penn State students participate in the selection of personnel? 2. How will projects be selected—by the staff or a board, and what influence will Penn State representatives have? 3. How much money will be returned to University ParlOor local use and how will its allocation be decided?= • 4. Specifically, how will :students at; the Commonwealth Campuses participate. We feel that these are important - 4uestions which the PennPIRG organizers ha , ie not yet spedificatly answered. University Senate Student Affairs Committee Offended by Froth TO THE EDITOR: If My Lord Jesus were alive today and walking the streets of State College, the first thing He would do would be to destroy by burning, all the copies of the so called humor magazine, Froth, which came out last week. Though almost all the articles were offensive, there was one which was patently vile. It is called "Expanded Consciousness Management: A New Major" and seems to glamorize the taking of hash, quaaludes, etc. Worst of all, it lists a sup posed course, "Getting High on the Lord." The only thing made clear by the last issue of Froth was that the writers are living an ego-centered and not a Christ-centered life. They must be very unhappy. I do not like being offended, and will, from, now on, read only the Holy Bible and of- course The Daily Collegian. Pass the coffee - - • TO THE EDITOR: During, the course of the year I have been reading with interest the numerous letters you have received concerning smoking in class. As an ex-smoker, I can sym pathize somewhat with the nicotine addicts on campus, but not completely because since I quit, llfeel that everyone else can also. Nonetheless, I became involved in a very frustrating situation during a recent lecture-type class recently. Falling I asleep with remarkable consistency, , I was becoming em- barrassed by my continuous "grunting and jerking" whenever I I would awaken. Despite my efforts (though slight they were) to remain awake in this class of nearly two-hundred, I somehow continued my unscheduled naps. Finally, I. had to try the last resort—and my worst dreams were realized. I asked a fellow R1 ‘ "? 1 -- A.- N.. ' 1, '..."-- -j, C -''-",- .„,..

And it worked! Not only did L remain awake, but so did everyone else due to my constant coughing. Now I know what all the complaining is about. The smoke was indeed repulsive. Many dirty looks were aimed my way. And then there's the gorgeous sight of cigarette butts carpeting the floor. I know—maybe I should just get more, sleep. But I thought this experience would be a good excuse to cast my vote of "nay" for smoking in class. Pass the coffee. University Choirs TO THE EDITOR: It would be unfair to the Pittsburgh Sym phony Orchestra and irresponsible of the University Choirs not to correct the misinformation submitted in a Letter to the Editor of the Collegian by T. Smith, student and wife of a member of the music department faculty. The lletiversity r Choirs have sung with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in Carnegie Hall, New York, and on many different occasions in Pittsburgh. They had the horror of taking part in the inaugural concerts opening Pittsburgh's Heinz Hall. Their most recent appearance there with the Symphony consisted of two performances of the Verdi Requiem. The University funded 12 percent of the cost of this. On the other hand, when the Symphony was at Penn State for its residence the following week, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra funded 75 per cent of the cost through their grants and en dowments. The Pittsburgh concerts have never cost the participating students anything except the expense of concert dress. It is unnecessary for the Choirs to•defend either their , standard of performance or the professional reputation or integrity of their. conductor. Work together TO THE EDITOR: Friday's excellent Collegian article on the ever-present problem of landlord-tenant relationahips makes it clear that, just as in most areas of student life, there are two sides to the coin. The rent-gouging landlord and the van dalistic tenant are equally contemptible. The tenant's union, in theory a potentially useful help in insuring tenant's rights•, is apparently_not effective or needed in State College—in the Collegian article, Yates Mast em phasizes that the tenant's union needs a majority of students to be successful. Yet in the past year, less than - f per cent of all student tenants have felt the need to seek Membership. It seems that either the problem isn't widespread enough, or that student apathy has triumphed—probably a combination of both. Collective action is clearly ineffective, yet there should be some mechanism for the individual tenant to fight the system. There are different ways to do this, but one thing is for sure: both tenants and landlords would benefit if some kind of cooperative system (maybe a balanced panel of tenants and landlords, or students and townspeople) was set up to•protect the rights of both sides. The antagonistic approach just doesn't work. Students can make changes, but only in the way that any set of competing interest groups must work for change—via compromise. After all,: whether it's tenants and landlords, students and teachers, students and administrators, and even students and other students, the givers and the receivers of housing, educational, or any other services must work together if these services are to be maximized.
