Suit, answering questions to the Undergraduate Student Government- Graduate - Student Association Discipline Committee, said this also e bid be effective in curbing rapes and other violent crimes in dorm areas. "There are a lot more effective ways of stopping rape than having monkeys running around witfi telescopes,” said Paul Weinstein, discipline committee*, secretary. Suit conceded that using telescopes for surveillance “bordered on being unethical” but said it was an effective way for the officer to obtain a search warrant.

I "We have run into some problems with'* summaries. It’s a problem I’ve' been working on for two years,” Suit said. He said if charges brought against a student are due to inaccuracies in the security ‘report, they usually "'are dropped at the pre-hearing interview. Suit said the sanctions'that his office can impose are a warning, probation, suspension, indefinite dismissal and expulsion. Probation is used most often. “What the!

Vol. 75, No. 146 12 pages University Park, Pennsylvania Published by Students of The Pennsylvania State University Town called By LINDA MILLER Collegian Staff Writer Some students and local officials yesterday rode the London Tour bus, ate cookies, drank coffee, hald dinner together and talked. ! The event was the second annual Town Day, sponsored by the Organization of Town Independent Students. The mayor and the judge, along with a host of other local leaders, were there to meet and get acquainted,with students. "OTIS has a vision here," State College Mayor Jo Hays said of Town Day during the concluding banquet in the HUB Terrace Room. “Maybe with this vision we can transform College Avenue from a real dividing line into an imaginary one." i Bonnie Smith. Town Day coordinator. , said she was pleased withi the day's results. She said yesterday's|interaction . between townspeople and student escorts during lunch in various * residence halls, tours of student organizations, and OTIS-sponsored forums was profitable. But she stressed that the same lines of communication between the two communities must exist every day, not just on Town Day. Hays, who attended Town Day last year, said that this year’s event was even more successful. i University President John W. Oswald also delivered a short speech before the banquet. He was unable to iattend Town Day, but he said he very mubh supported the project. "It's like shaking hands with oneself to welcome the townspeople hjre,’’ Oswald said. What is done in State College af fects the University and v ce versa, he said. I Oswald said understanding between the town and University is needed, especially this year with the problems of inflation and unemployment. Ron Gordon, former OTIS president, said the theme of Town Day was He said they have experimented with students performing some sort of ser vice in lieu of separation, but it was not successful “We know thpt students don’t usually get into difficulty when they come back after a suspension. If 1 they get into trouble again they are dismissed. There is quite a deterrent factor here,” Suit said. j Asked if this wasn’t being more punitive than rehabilitative, Suit replied that the University is not(a rehabilitative institution. Suit estimated that 90 per cent of the students separated from the University return. j Concerning a charge jthat he had too much latitude in administering conduct standards, he said he tried to be as fair as possible. ‘ 1 “In any type of human relations you have to have some sort of ethics,” Suit said. Day activities 'successful' brotherhood and cooperation. He said College Avenue must be crossed because "there are valuable resources on both sides." At one conference in the afternoon, students and local officials talked of extending the day’s theme of cooperation to an actual involvement of students in local government. , "Student participation in government has just about reached its peak," said Dean Phillips, State College borough councilman But he added that he would like two or three students regularly elected to borough council. Borough Council President Arnold Addison said students first should get involved with the community and then run for elected offices. | Addison said he would like more students on the various local boards and authorities—positions appointed by council. He said even if students could hold office for only one or two years before • graduation, he would still welcome them on commissions. A newly elected Undergraduate Student Government senator is Joseph Harteis, not Gerald Harteisas reported in Monday’s Daily Collegian. Due to an incomplete tabulation ol ballots in the Pollock-Nittany area, the Collegian also incorrectly named Bill Kristan as a newly elected Association of Residence Hall Students member. Dave Cochran <3rd-science) won that seat with 386 votes. The number of votes for of ficers of the Pollock-Nittany Residence Hall Association is as follows: president— 527. vice president— 6l6. secretary—3B2. treasurer—394. to spot pot It was mentioned that there is often a lag between the time charges are brought against a student and when he has his hearing. Chris Gerding, discipline committee chairman, suggested that Suit get an assistant. “I ve asked for one a couple of times. Especially when the backlog of cases gets to be 100 or so I really begin to sweat and worry," Suit said. He said University budget problems have kept him from having an assistant. "I have hostilities about the system myself, sometimes." Suit said Mostly sunny and cool today. High 52. Partly cloudy and chilly tonight. Low 32. Partly sunny and cool Thursday. High 50.
