resident manager Miles
Guratnick, every year it

Guratnick said he was not

were filed before District
Magistrate Louise Green.
Gerald Wilson, deputy
superintendent for operations
at Rockview, said Ammell,
escaped Tuesday at 6 p.m.
after forcing a Rockview
guard at gunpoint to drive
him to Bellefonte. Wilson said
the guard had picked Ammell

than twice as many entrances

The cost of providing night
receptionist services for one
dormitory has been as high as
$3,500 per year, Uperaft said.
The whole University ser
vices system costs $85,000 to
$90,000 annually he said.
Conversion of two all-male
dormitories in West Halls to
co-ed housing also created a
need for more night recep
tionists,- Uperaft said. An
increase, in the minimum
wage caused unexpected
expenses, he said. About 70
per cent of the night recep
tionists are paid from federal
work-study grants. The other
30 per cent of the money is
made tip in regular wages.
When it Was realized that
the funds available for the
year would not be sufficient
for total full-time coverage of
all dorms, alternatives were
to continue full coverage until
the money ran out, or to have
night receptionists work from
only 12 a.m. to 3 a.m. in some
dorms, Uperaft said.
Residential Life chose to
provide year-round security,

The name of the house's

' "We're doing the best we
can, given the bucks we've
got," Uperaft said.
Having doors locked after 3
a,m. has increased the in
cidence of women propping
doors bpen for their own
convenience, Uperaft said.
Female students don't
realize, however, how much
they are responsible for
security in the dorms, he said.
"One woman propping one
door open creates an insecure
situation for two hundred
other women in the dorm,"
Uperaft said. The University
alone really can't provide
adequate security, he said. It
is up to the residents to see
that
,doors aren't propped
open and unescorted males
are confronted, he said.
Next yegr, it is possible that
coverage will be provided
from 12 amt. to 7 a.m. in all
the female dorms, Uperaft
said. Residential Life has
petitioned for more money,
and Uperaft said they have
preliminary assurances that
the funds will be available.

will be cleared up next year,"

"The USG Academic Assembly is in good
hands with Musca," Taglieri said.
Outgoing President Joe Taglieri, who
received an award for his service from
USG President W. T. Williams, gave his
views on the new administration and
overall function of Academic Assembly.
"The USG Academic Assembly is in
good hands with Musca," Taglieri said of
his successor. "Our rapport with both the
faculty and administration is extreme
ly good. In three years as a member of
Academic Assembly, I have seen the
Assembly grow and mature into the finest,
the most effective, the most conscientious
student organization on this campus," he
said.
Taglieri commended the integrity of the
Academic Assembly, saying "We've come
a long way" since an impeachment trial of
a member three years ago.
"It is very difficult to build a reputation
as a credible organization, yet so very
easy to lose that respect," Taglieri said.
NORML's current activ
ities include lobbying
for decriminalization of
marijuana and offering legal
assistance to those who have
been arrested.
Tickets for Stroup's speech
and film presentation can be
obtained free of charge at the
HUB desk.
