Govt.
to bury
waste
WASHINGTON (UPI)
The government has launch-
ed an all-out effort to solve
the problem of permanent
nuclear waste disposal by
1985, probably by burying
lethal radioactive garbage
_
deep underground.
This week the Energy
Research and Development
Administration is sending
Congress a five-volume, 1,500-
page analysis of various
means for handling and
storing atomic power plant
wastes.
ERDA said a plan will be
announced "in the near
future" by the Energy
Resources Council and public
comment will be invited.
The task is not an easy one.
Others have tried and failed
—to find acceptable solutions
to the problem of atomic
waste disposal since the birth
of the nuclear age more than
three decades ago.
Past proposals for nuclear
waste disposal have included
shooting radioactive debris to
the sun aboard rockets and
sealing atomic garbage in
concrete pillars that would
stand in the desert guarded
by a perpetual "nuclear
priesthood."
Knight murder trial
jury selection set
PHILADELPHIA (UPI)
Salvatore Soli, one of two men
charged in the Dec. 7 slaying
of newspaper heir John S.
Knight 111, goes on trial today
for first-degree murder.
Jury selection is scheduled
to begin this morning' in the
courtroom of Common Pleas

Jr., presiding judge.
Soli, 37, was arrested in
Miami one week after the
incident and charged with
stabbing Knight to death in
his fashionable Center City
apartment.
District Attorney F.

ERDA officials say their
most promising method
appears to be the.
solidification of wastes into
insoluble ceramic blocks that
would be buried forever in
underground salt domes or
abandoned salt mines.
Failure to find an ac
ceptable means of getting rid
of radioactive wastes could
endanger hopes that nuclear
power will play a major role
in solving U.S . . energy
problems.
But ERDA chief Dr. Robert
Seamans is optimistic his
agency can have the first
facilities available by 1985 "to
isolate long-lived radioactive
waste from man's en
vironment for hundreds of
thousands of years."
Pressure is mounting for a
permanent disposal system
for several reasons:
Highly radioactive liquid
wastes dating back to the
early days of the U.S. nuclear
weapons program that were
put in steel and concrete
containers for temporary
storage are beginning to leak.
There have been recent
incidents where radioactivity
from solid wastes buried in
several sites seeped unex
pectedly out of the immediate
disposal area. Although
generally low in radioac
tivity, they did contain traces
of plutonium.
The administration
hopes to almost double the
number of nuclear power
plants during the next decade
to help solve U.S. energy
problems.

'ln the Stall'—graffiti from Penn State
By CANDY MOSKOL
Collegian Staff Writer
Graffiti from the walls of men's rooms
across Penn State have been recently
published by a Penn State student.
"It's high time that some pertinent prose
blessed these bathroom walls. Let us not
scribble meaningless rhymes, but address
the important issues of the day, on this
potentially potent medium. Just think, what
you write here might be discovered by some
prestigious editor who happens to be
defecating here.
This graffiti was found on a men's room
wall at the Penn State Altoona cam
pus and was borrowed as a prelude to "In
the Stall," an experimental alternative
publication. Steve Moyer (sth-psychology),
editor and publisher, distributed 250 copies of
the first issue at gentle Thursday to test
reader reactions. According to Moyer,
reactions were positive.
"In The Stall" is a collection of graffiti
found on the walls of men's rooms in Pattee
Library and the HUB. Moyer explained the
graffiti are "cute, clever, intelligent or
profound" ponderings of Penn State
students. Although Moyer only got to men's
lavatories, he said he suspects female
graffiti is similar.
U.S.-Turkey agreements shaky
Congress may kill defense pact
ANKARA, Turkey (AP)
Future defense pacts between
the United States and Turkey
will be virtually ruled out if
the U.S. Congress rejects a $1
billion defense agreement
between the two NATO allies,
Premier Suleyman Demirel
said yesterday.
The 52-year-old premier
also disclosed in an interview
that the Soviet Union has
pledged $1 billion in easy
term credits to fund Turkish
development and industrial
projects.
Turkey, which lies on
Russia's southern border, has
been a key element in the
American policy of con
tainment of the Soviet Union
since Cold War days. The
Turks have a standing army
of half a million, largest
among European NATO
members, and 26 U.S.
military electronic sur
veillance stations which
monitor Soviet activities.
After Congress imposed an
arms embargo 14 months ago,
because American weapons
were used in the 1974 Turkish
invastion of Cyprus, Demirel
turned toward the Soviet bloc
for trade and economic
cooperation. He stopped short
of accepting Soviet weapons
offers.

-Moyer, who is president of the Penn State
Press Association of Commonwealth
Campuses, first thought of printing a graffiti
publication because "people never take time
to read the writing on the wall."
On the first page of the publication he
explains how he authentically duplicated
what he found on the walls Spring Term. He
not only copied down every initial remark,
but every response to a remark.
Moyer said he found the most profound
graffiti in the men's rooms in the Pattee
stacks and believes this is because of the
atmosphere of the stacks.
"People in the stacks have no one to talk to
and a lot of time to think," he said.
Moyer termed most of the graffiti "in
telligent," and said that the main reason the
typical Penn State male would bother to
write something on a restroom wall is the
"need to be heard and un
derstood especially by his peers."
"In a large university like Penn State,"
Moyer said, "it's easy to get lost in the crowd
and to feel insignificant." He said it makes
the individual feel "special" having left his
or her mark on campus, and if the writer
hears or overhears someone responding
jovially or seriously to his "work," he feels a
sense of pride.
paint a dismal, but vague,
strategic picture for the
United States if Turkey goes
without American bases and
arms. The bases were closed
last July as a result of the
U.S. arms embargo.
In March, Secretary of
State Henry A. Kissinger
announced the United States
had agreed to supply Turkey
with $1 billion in military aid
over four years in return for
reopening of the bases. A
similar agreement for $7OO
million is pending .with
Greece. However,
congressional approval for
both appears unlikely. It is
not yet known when Congress
will vote.
American critics in
Congress say Turkey should
not receive aid as long as
there is no settlement of the
Greek-Turk conflict on
Cyprus.
"If the agreement is
rejected . . . ," Demirel said,
"it should be better not to
have it . . . It would be very
difficult to have another
agreement along these lines
or along other lines. What is
the use of having agreements
with the U.S. government
because we don't know
whether they will be rejected
or accepted by Congress."
Turning to Greece, Demirel

disclosed that the foreign
ministers of both countries
would meet privately during
a NATO ministerial con
ference in Oslo, May 19.
Diplomatic sources say the
meeting cou:rl set up a
summit between Demirel and
Greek Premier Constantine
Caramanlis. He did not
dismiss a proposal by
Caramanlis to sign a non
agression pact.
Besides the Cyprus issue,
Turkey and Greece have
conflicting claims over ex
ploration rights to the con
tinental shelf in the Aegean
Sea, control of air space in the
area and the arming of Greek
islands along the Turkish
coast.
Turkey holds ap
proximately 40 per cent of
Cyprus with 28,000 troops.
The July 1974 invasion was
triggered by a Greek-led coup
on the island which toppled
President Makarios and
temporarily replaced him
with Nikos . Sampson, a
staunch supporter of
"enosis" meaning union
with Greece.
At home, Demirel's shaky
four-party coalition, which
has a five vote margin in the
national assembly, has been
plagued by student unrest and
a law and order problem.
According to Moyer, the content of the
graffiti in "In the Stall" carries recurring
subject matter the "hot issues," as Moyer
calls them. These "issues" include sex,
drugs, religion, the value of college, opinions
concerning Penn State, and homosexuality.
Moyer said he sees the writing on the walls
as a battleground of pro and con opinions.
Nowhere else, he said, are students so ac
tively involved in differing opinions.
However gross or candid the remarks, Moyer
said, they express "thinking" individuals.
Moyer, who says students should take
graffiti as serious business, says he copied
the statements down for "In The Stall" is to
stir up an otherwise "complacent, apathetic"
student body and to encourage Penn State
students to "think as deeply as the students
of the late 60's did to stop and take a look
at things."
"In The Stall", he said, is not intended as a
tongue-in . cheek response. Though it may
conjure up a chuckle or two, Moyer stressed
the fact that his publication is an honest
reproduction of what he saw, and demands
serious thought and interpretation.
Many people might be offended by the
publication's unedited frankness, par
ticularly in regard to the bigoted statements,
Student disturbances have
caused considerable
disruption in the country.
Since the beginning of the
school year student violence
has resulted in at least 30
deaths with hundreds of
others injured.
Asked what could be done
about student unrest, the
premier said, "These are not
student actions. Universities
are being used as plat
forms . . . It started several
years ago .. . The same
people are involved as in the
disturbances of 1969-72."
Convicted terrorists were
released in 1974 under a
general amnesty and Demirel
said, "They are back in
business again .. . making
trouble for the regime . . .
Others set out to protect the
regime."
"We believe Communist
action is being provoked from
abroad. They have centers of
terrorism in Western Europe.
Our neighbors are not
directly in the picture as
states and governments."
On the possibility of U.S.
Congressional rejection of the
Turkish aid bill Demirel said,
"We will stand on our own
feet . . . I hope we will not
have to face such a case . ~. I
do not want to make further
comments."
The Daily Collegian Monday, May 10, 1976-
Moyer said, but they show what's on the
minds of Penn State students. Much of the
graffiti, he said, is simply funny, almost
worthy of the Johnny Carson show. One of
Moyer's favorites is a three-part sequence:
"Is there any intelligent life on this
planet?"
"Yes, but I'm only visiting."
"Me too. I'm from the star Rigel here on
Earth as part of a lab for a course studying
'Earthlings, aggressive behavior in
primitive life forms 306.' "
Another sequence went like this:
'!Accept people for what they are this
isn't Nazi U.S.A.
"Oh yea?"
"We are not robots that are all the same."
"Although we are different in many ways
we've got to live together!"
Another remark was "PSU is canceled this
week due to apathy."
As Moyer states in his opening in
troduction, "Not all graffiti on the walls of
bathrooms is profound, cutting, or even
meaningful, on first sight. But all of it is an
honest expression of the thoughts on the
author's mind at that precise moment. He
knew no eyes were watching him and he was
free to write freely what was on his mind."
