He added that the program would have long term benefits, creating not only jobs in the construction trades, but also permanent jobs for faculty, staff and students. - The University cannot apply for the funds until President Ford signs the bill into law. The bill was passed by Congress and sent to the President Sept. 24. A spokesman for Rep. Albert Johnson said the President is expected to sign the bill. The spokesman added the reason for the 90-day limit for starting construction was to stimulate employment within a relatively short period of time, and the bill was intended for projects, which were already designed but not yet funded.

The building, on separate contracts for plumbing, ven tilation, and heating and air conditioning systems, which is to run through late October, kicks off a project that probably will exhaust the bulk of $300,000 in federal revenue sharing funds. The public will have a large stake in a newly-renovated municipal building, Carl B. Fairbanks, municipal manager, says. Fairbanks says renovation should be looked upon as an -efficiency measure: “The renovation of this building will result in a more economical form of municipal government.” Council members point to plans to move council’s meeting room, currently on the second floor of the building, to a more Ford's golf, Carter's foreign travel not up to par By the Associated Press Questions about President Ford’s old campaign money and golf outings and about Jimmy Carter’s foreign travel expenses swirled through . the presidential election chase yesterday.

Ford’s press secretary said “hell, no” it isn’t the President’s lifestyle to let lobbyists pay for his vacations and golf games. But he promised to release at an unspecified date the results of a records search aimed at finding out who paid when Ford played golf from 1965 to 1973. Everything for hockey except the ice.

College acessible ground floor location in what is now a garage area. “I will be delighted when we can get to the (council) meetings without having to climb that horrendous flight of stairs,” says council member Mary Ann Haas. Fairbanks concurs: “I think we should spend more time working on the council’s meeting room than we do on anything else in the building. When we’re done, I hope we can have a council room we can be proud of.” But State College officials think that renovating. the municipal building is generally a good idea, they have adopted a cautious “wait and see” attitude on some of the specific ideas. Contractors are being asked to bid on six so-called “alternate” plans, one of which calls for an elevator for handicapped persons. Many officials, including Haas and Municipal Building Authority Chairman Thomas B. Brown, fear the elevator’s location in the building in present architectural plans will Carter acknowledged that foreign governments had picked up some of the costs of trips he took abroad as Georgia governor when he was trying to drum up trade for the state. Carter said the trips were strictly business, and he distinguished them from acceptance of free golfing vacations. Two large companies said Ford had played each of their courses once as the guest of a company official between four and eight years ago. Carter offered his suggestion of a Ford news CELEB'R it s our 52nd ANNIVERSARY . . . get in on the SAVINGS!

Carter said the best way for Ford to clear up the matter about the Watergate special prosecutor is for him to “have a frank discussion with the American people through the news media, which so far he has failed to do.” The former Georgia governor said he did not want to be interpreted as having assumed “that there’s any substance to the allegations. I have no way to know that.” The Daily Collegian Thursday, September 30, 1976 hinder its use by handicapped persons. They question spend ing close to $30,000 for an elevator that won’t be used as it was intended. Also deferred is consideration of a new phone system for the building. Such a system would list individual numbers for separate officials and offices, in addition to a central municipal information number,,such as the one used in the present system. Fairbanks says he hopes council can study systems that now use decentralized numbers, as in state of ficesin Harrisburg. Still, Haas, for one, has reservations. If each office had its own phone, she asks, what would happen at lunch hour when a staff member leaves it unattended? And, she asks, would the average citizen looking for help know who to call if confronted with a list of specific numbers? “These may be petty things,” Haas says. “But such a phone system would cost $3OO more than our present system. I think critical questions should be asked.” declined comment on the Carter said special prosecutor Charles Ruff should make public a full report on the investigation when it is finished, regardless of whether that is before or after the Nov. 2 election. Ruff has repeatedly probe, which reportedly centers around whether Ford converted campaign funds to his own use through a local Republican party organ ization in Michigan while he was in the House. The separate matter of golf games came up recently when William Whyte, a lobbyist for U.S. Steel Corp., said Ford, a longtime per sonal friend, had taken three golfing trips at company expense in New Jersey and stayed twice in a company owned house near Disney World in Florida while he was a congressman. White House Press Secretary Ron Nessen said Tuesday that Ford had played on courses owned by three other companies before he became vice president. Nessen said yesterday the President has ordered his records searched to see what can be learned.
