Milton Shapp was ordered Thurs day to pay back almost $300,000 in federal funds he had been given for his brief campaign last year for the Democratic presidential nomination. The Federal Election Commisssion ordered _ the repayment. after in vestigators found that Shapp’s sup porters had made incorrect claims about raising the amounts of money from the number of donors that the election law requires in order for a candidate to qualify for matching federal funds. Shapp, declining to leave his Harrisburg, Pa., office in the state capital building. had no comment.,on the commission’s ruling." However, his lawyer, Gregory Har vey, said there was no evidence that Shapp was personally aware of the illegal activities. Harvey said Shapp would fight the repayment order. FEC Counsel William Oldaker said the irregularities were uncovered during audits of all 15 candidates who got matching federal campaign funds last year. He said that so far no other irregularities have been discovered. The six-member commission voted 5-0 Oswald approves open Council meetings By HARRY GLENN Collegian Staff Writer University President John W. Oswald yesterday approved a recommendation by the University Council to open its meetings to the press. Oswald addressed the Council at yesterday’s meeting, the last meeting until September, and gave his approval to the Council’s biennial review, of which the opening of the meetings to the press was included. The review, prepared by a committee chaired by John Lumley, also included a recommendation to lower the minimum required term standing of undergraduate Council members from seventh to fourth term. The reasoning'behind the recommendation was that fourth term students would be able to serve an extra year on the Council. It was pointed out that members who serve more than one year prove to be more effective representatives. Oswald said he Would forward the recommendations to the Board of Trustees for final approval, since the Council was created by the Board. Also sent to the Board was a recommendation that a Airport essential to University business Editor’s note: This is the last in a series of articles on University employee bene fits. By STAN ELLIS Collegian Staff Writer University President John W. Oswald boarded the six-passenger, twin-engine plane on a Friday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. Minutes later he left University Park, on his way to Allentown. Less than an hour later he landed in Allentown and attended a 5:15 press conference, followed by a banquet at 6:00. The next day’he was in Erie at 11:30 to attend a press briefing at Behrend College and an awards ceremony. By 4:00, he was back at his desk catching up on work he had missed during his trip. Oswald’s hectic schedule is one reason why the University Park airport serves the University today. In fact, it was the original reason for the airport, ac cording to George Lovette, assistant vice president for business. “The airport was originally set up for the President and his immediate staff. With these people traveling, the dollar loss to the University could be minimized by a faster mode of travel. They are still the primary users,” Lovette said. The lack of a convenient commuter airline was another major factor for establishing the airport, Lovette added. He said the airport is available to any employee of the University just like the . University Park, Pennsylvania Published by Students of The Pennsylvania State University to order Shapp to make repayment, with one member abstaining. Meanwhile, the commission, was pursuing an investigation that could result in prosecutions for others in volved in fund raising for Shapp. The commission disclosed that it had reached conciliation agreements with 22 people in the case. Eighteen agreed to pay fines ranging from $25 to $750; the others agreed to testify in the continuing probe. In voting for the repayment order, Commissioner Thomas Harris said: “I am puzzled and distressed with the rather casual and cavalier fashion by which many-xrf these people have en tered -into this’ 'scheme., I fin’d it shocking.” , In deciding that Shapp was unqualified for the $299,066 his campaign drew from the federal treasury, the commission ruled that illegal contributions could not' be counted in qualifying a candidate for the matching federal dollars. Under the federal election code, Shapp is personally responsible for paying back the funds. * The case involves a provision of the new post-Watergate election laws which car fleet “The airport is just another mode of travel similar to fleet operations,” Lovette said, “only faster.” He said if a University employee has justified the use of air travel and cleared the money from his department, one of the University’s two planes will be given to him as soon as it’s available. “Anybody using the airplanes has to weigh the costs against the benefits,” Lovette said. “If the trip warrants the expenditure and time saved, then it’s worth it.” “We don’t question whether the guy should take a car or a plane, though. That’s up to the budget officer of the department. We strictly provide a service for people who need it.” The rate for the planes is $lOO per hour to cover the cost of the pilots, the fuel and the operating expenses of the air craft, he said. Lovette said the University planes are very rarely used for overnight trips. The only cost justification for the planes to begin with, he continued, is when a person can come and go in the same day and save the overnight expenses they would have using a car. Approximately 99 per cent of the plane trips are within 200 miles, he said, with a lot of the traffic heading for the Com monwealth campuses. “Travel without aircraft from University Park to the Commonwealth would be a two-day trip to conduct Ten cents per copy Friday, May 13,1077 Vol. 77, No. 170 28 pages change in the Council charge concerning faculty representation be made. Currently, the Council charge states one faculty member “from the Commonwealth Campuses” will sit on the Council. The recom mendation is that the phrase be changed to “campuses other than University Park” so that faculty members from the Hershey Medical Center, Capitol Campus, and Behrend College might be considered for membership. The Council also approved a report on the Univer sity’s environment for international students compiled by a committee chaired by Howard Palmer. The report concludes a five-month study the Council has been making on the topic at Oswald’s request. The report’s major recommendation is the establish ment of an International House on campus by 1990. The committee also recommended that an International House Commission be established to study the feasibility and means of financing the project. The report also recommended the appointment of a full-time director of international affairs. Currently, Craig Millar, associate vice president for student af fairs, serves as the director of international affairs. The provide federal financing for presidential elections. In the primaries and other pre-convention campaigning, the government matches the private contributions raised by. candidates once a threshold has been reached. To qualify, a candidate must raise at least $5,000 from 20 different states in individual gifts of no more than $250 each. Shapp certified on Jan. 21, 1976 that he had " done this. After an examination of his- claim, the FEC authorized matching payments. Harvey argued yesterday that if Shapp erred in accepting his campaign committee bookkeeping, so did the FEC auditors wbp,Approved the claim. . , Oldaker said the audit showed that because of the illegalities, Shapp ac tually had failed to raise the $5,000 limit in five of the 20 statps he had claimed. The five states where the problems were discovered were Alabama, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina and Texas. The general counsel’s report said .that in Alabama, several donations credited to various employees of Winfield Manufacturing Co., actually were paid rajfl l 0 business,” Lovette said. “The numbers of people, expenses of meals, and room and board gets into the cost justification of the airport. "Most universities similar to Penn State,” he added, “have found aircraft a good mode of travel.” Lovette cited a survey conducted by lowa State University of 46 institutions which found that a high percentage of universities with branch campuses used aircraft as a mode of travel regardless of the size of the institution. The study reported that 8.700 plane hours were equivalent to 26,100 hours in a car. Travel by plane over that time resulted in 22,600 staff-hours saved at the 16 universities with airports that an swered the study. Several of the University’s athletic teams are moving more to air travel as playing sites are scheduled at greater distances, according to assistant athletic Oswald by plant manager Hugh Walker, who in turn was'reimbursed by the company. In Georgia, the FEC said, Stanley Seigle, half owner of Norstran Industries of Atlanta, provided the money for donations listed in the names of some of his employees. A similar situation was alleged in Texas where insurance executive Charles Luciano was accused of paying for donations listed to employees, relatives and associates. In the North Carolina case, Gus Nicholas was reported to have provided the donations made in the name of various friends and neighbors. And in Nevada' several' donors were . listed as; buying' tickets to a fund raising event' when the tickets actually were paid for by others. ; “Based on the evidence disclosed in the commission’s audit and examination of five states, the commission determines that Gov. Milton Shapp did not receive matching contributions which in the' aggregate exceeded $5,000 in con tributions from residents of each of at least 20 states,” the staff report adopted by the commission said. Council proposed that the office for international affairs be moved from its current location in Kern to the HUB so that it would be in the center of campus and student activity. Other recommendations the committee made were; establishing an international cafeteria to alleviate food service problems, consolidation of information con-' cerning international students into one publication, the availability of more health care information and the development of a more clearly defined philosophy; regarding international students. In other Council business, acting provost James- Bartoo, chairman of the Council, presented a letter; from Mary Musca (9th-history), president of the- Undergraduate Student Government Academic' Assembly. The letter pertained to a 1971 Council; document concerning student participation in academic! affairs. Musca asked the Council to review the policy, and see if it is currently being implemented. Council secretary Chester Gnatt placed the item on the agenda for the Council’s next meeting in September. ‘ director Richard Lucas. The football team uses air travel between two and four times a year depending on the schedule, Lucas said, and the basketball squad began flying last year because of the increased distance between their scheduled game sites. Lucas said he charters two 50- passenger Convair 580’s from Allegheny Airlines for the football team, while the basketball team flies on a charter plane from Clark Aviation. Bowl games call for a different plane and probable departure time from Harrisburg, Lucas said. He said the cooperation from the University Park Airport has been satisfactory, and added it was “tremendous with us having the airport right here for us to use.” As to the future of the University’s air service, Lovette said he could only speculate. “I don’t see demand warranting the addition of a new plane in the near future. For the past ten years we’ve had two aircraft and it’s worked fine. “If there are any peaks,” Lovette c continued, “we can bring in a charter aircraft, but I can’t see justifying the cost of plane and pilots to handle a few peaks.” He said if commuter service to the area increased in the future, the' University would possibly look into the justification of keeping the aircraft.
