program, and the State
College area does not meet the
requirement.
Lovette said the University
is studying potential facilities
to see which are applicable un
der the program, but that no
final decision had yet-been
made. 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.

Bidding begins on municipal building
ByPAULGLUCKMAN
Collegian Staff Writer
For State College officials, nearly three years of waiting
may have ended when bidding got under way early this week
on the renovation of the downtown municipal building.
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

what happened to con

to Ford’s past congressional

Ford’s press secretary
said “hell, no” it isn’t the
President’s lifestyle to let
lobbyists pay for his
vacations and golf games.

an unspecified date the results

“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 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.”

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.”
