PLRB hearings continue
Hershey grants reviewed
By KEITH BARNES
Collegian Staff Writer
The dean of the Milton S.
Hershey Medical Center
testified yesterday that
doctors are on annual salaries
paid by the University, and do
not receive extra money for
grants awarded after salaries
have been determined.
Dr. Harry Prystowsky said
that money in a grant that is
not used for equipment and
expenses is placed into the
"general funds" category
which eventually pays for
faculty salaries, among other
things. /
Prystowsky testified at the
Pennsylvania Labor
Relations Board (PLRB)
faculty unionization hearings.
Under cross-examination by
Ronald Watzman, attorney
for the Pennsylvania State
University Professional
Association, Prystowsky

Prystowsky said, periodically
is reviewed by a committee

American Association of
Medical Colleges (AAMC)

Association. The committee

Prystowsky said.
When asked by Watzman
why, in its annual report to
the AAMC, the college is
referred to as a "private"
institution, Prystowsky said
"it is not a state totally
supported institution. A
public institution would have
its salaries determined by the
legislature. We are not part of
that system and therefore are
`private .. .! "

UC request called 'witch hunt'
By MARC COHEN
Collegian Staff Writer
The University Coalition's
request to review Penn State's
finances was termed a 'witch
hunt' by University Planning
and Budget Director
Chalmers Norris yesterday.
"You're searching for
something you won't find," he
told the Coalition. "I don't
think you'll find very many
dollars," he added.
About 15 Coalition mem
bers crowded into Norris'
outer office to discuss the
matter. .
According to Coalition
member Rick Hesketh, the
administration is
mismanaging tuition funds.
"It's apparent since Oswald
took over, that university
finances have been
mismanaged," he said.
"Tuition has gone beyond the
inflationary rate and it bums
me out," Hesketh said.
Norris claimed the state
legislature has made tuition
very high. "Comparatively,
Penn State is operated ef

he said. "Penn State is
operating at a lower cost than
Pitt or Temple and tuition is
lower," he added. '
The Coalition claimed a
tuition hike was avoidable.
They demanded permission
to scrutinize the financial
records. "We have a right to
know where our money is
going,"Coalition member
John Strand said. Strand
questioned the expenditures
for private airplanes and the
president's house.
Hasketh said a pilot told
him Oswald's wife uses the
planes for shopping trips to
New York.
Norris said that the planes
are used by University
executives for University
business. "I know nothing
about the shopping trips," he
said.
Norris accused the
Coalition of demagoguery. "I

myths like the dog house

Norris said. "To do a sou nd
job on the books, a person
must understand the internal
functions of the University,"
he said. "Reviewing the
finances would be a full time
job."
Hesketh said, "We're
qualified to make decisions
when we think the money
being spent is 'coming from
our pockets."
Norris suggested asking for
specific answers, instead of a
general request to open the
books.
"I've written letters to
Oswald and the Board of
Trustees without success,"
Hesketh said. "When I
questioned student trustee
Dion Stewart he replied that
he didn't know and didn't
care." Norris said it was hard
to believe Stewart said that.
The Coalition was also
concerned about ad
ministrative expenses. Norris
said University policy classi
fied them as confidential.
When asked to reveal his
salary he refused, but said
