Council analyzes chicken code
By PAUL CORBRAN
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
The State College Municipal
Council voted 4-3 last night to con
sider a plan for a Kentucky Fried
Chicken outlet on S. Atherton Street
as a commercial property and to
refer the plan back to the planning
commission.
The plan had originally been
considered a motor vehicle oriented
business (MVOB) and had not met
the required specifications of MVOB
zoning.
Fred Fernsler, architect for the
developer of the restaurant,
presented a second plan that, he said,
complies with the specifications of a
CP-2 zoned property. He asked
council to accept the plan as a CP-2
development.
One of the problems the developer
had with the MVOB designation was
with the 60-foot setback requirement.
Fernsler said it would be hard to
provide the setback and still provide
adequate parking for customers on
the existing site. Under the CP-2

A University student spoke to
Borough Council members last night
to offer residents of State College a
gift small pieces of sculpture to be
displayed outdoors.
James Munn (graduate-art) told
council members that "Art galleries
tend to isolate art from the main
stream of society." His solution:
small boxes, containing ceramic or
pottery works, which could be lit and
displayed in busy areas of town.

zoning,' only a 20-foot setback is
required.
There was some argument among
council members as to whether the
development could really be zoned
CP-2. The planning commission
designated the plan as a MVOB
because of a proposed drive-in
window at the restaurant.
"I think it's a question of in
terpretation of MVOB," Fernsler
said. He added that the developer
may interpret the designation dif
ferently than the borough does.
If the majority of business of any
outlet is done through a drive-in
window, if the business can be done
in a continous motion, without getting
out Of the car that business would
be considered a MVOB.
If customers have to park their cars
and enter the establishment even if
they come right back out the
business is not considered a MVOB,
according to borough ordinance.
Council member Wallis Lloyd said
the drive-in window could bring a
majority of the business. He said the
"The average person has no
knowledge of contemporary art,"
Munn said. "My philosophy is that
this is because he's not exposed to it."
Most outdoor art, Munn said, is of
monumental size. "You don't see
many little fragile things on the
street."
Although council members ex
pressed concern over whether the
boxes would be safe from vandals,
Munn considers them "very vandal

council might weaken the MVOB
ordinance if it were to designate the
plan as CP-2.
Council member Allen D. Patterson
said one drive-in window could not
supply enough business to be the
major source of the establishment's
business.
David Corneal, representing the
developer, said a drive-in window
would provide less than 40 per cent of
the business. He said the average
amount of business brought in by a
window is 39 per cent.
Council member Mary Ann Haas
said council should look at the plan
under the letter of the law and not
how the members think the law
should be. She moved that the plan be
accepted as a CP-2.
Council also recommended that the
setback requirements of the MVOB
be reviewed by the planning com
mission.

boxes on exhibit in the student show
at Zoller gallery.

USG funds student rally buses
By DEBBIE WACHTER
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
The Undergraduate Student Govern
ment Senate agreed last night to fund
Penn State's Capitol Campus with $460 to
supply buses for Penn State student
representatives at a rally to be held in
Harrisburg on November 15.
The rally is being held on the Capitol
steps in support of the Penn State
budget, USG President Grant Acker
man, said.
All of the other land grant universities,
Temple, • Pitt and Lincoln, will be
represented at the rally he said, and
Penn State needs a representative
number of 600 students.
Since the rally is scheduled for the
first day of University Park finals,
Ackerman said, few people representing
the University would be able to attend.
Capitol Campus is two weeks behind
University Park's schedule of classes,
he added. "They can supply Harrisburg
with the 600 Penn State represen
tatives."
Capitol Campus has coordinated and
planned most of the details, Ackerman
said. If the money does not go through,
he said, they cannot have their students
at the rally.
Although University Park students are
unable to make the trip, he said, "I think
it's imperative that we show our sup
port." .
The Senate also decided that this week
would be noted as "Write Harrisburg
Week," a final attempt to urge students
to ' write to, the legislators about the
current budget crisis.
The Senate approved a continuation of
a contest among residence hall students,
to increase the number of letters written
to legislator.s.
The contest, which is run by ARHS

(Association of Residence Hall
Students), will be run on the basis of
dorm floors. The floor that produces the
greatest amount of letters to the
legislature is eligible for a $25 prize and
an amount of free movie tickets equal to
the number of letters written by that
floor.
Senators representing North Halls
expressed dissatisfaction over the
contest idea, because many of their
students have already written letters.
Ackerman stressed that in most cases,
"the letters have not been written,"
Ackerman agreed the contest was not
the best way to encourage students to
write letters, but "if the contest is what
it takes," he said, "we'll do it."
"We've come to the point where this is
IFC requests Greek escorts
The Association of Residence Hall
Students asked for manpower support
from fraternities for their new escort
system last night at the Intra-Fraternity
Council meeting.
Beth Coburn, a member of the
Security Committee of ARHS, asked the
fraternities for support in a way in which
both parties would benefit.
As the biggest organized male group,
the fraternities would receive credit
from participation iri this community
service project to use in their national
report she said.
The need for a new system arose
through inefficiencies in the previous
system, Coburn said. The main dispatch
points under consideratioh are either the
dorm areas, the Student Assistance
Center or the HUB, and would be the
base for girls to call for an escort.

In other business, Rick Roadarm'el,
Chairman of the University Policy and
Procedures Committee, presented a
survey of prices in university book
stores.
The committee compared prices on 39
popular texts, he said. The prices of new
books are all identical, he added.
The committee will also look at dif ,

biggest drawback, he said, is that it hai

said. Coburn asked the fraternity,
brothers to sincerely devote some time
to the system.
"The program can only be as good as
the time you want to put into it," she said
to the brothers.
IFC President Steve DiOrio said thd
escort system was a well-planned, ,
ex
cellent idea. DiOrio said he anticipated
'tactive involvement , from fraternity,,
members" to be the workingmen of this ,
system, because "it would be beneficial
to the women of Penn State."
DiOrio said there is an extreme:
