Long lines have been seen for nothing.” Bell said he is not worried about the balance sheets at the Task Force to present new constitution By BRUCE BECKER Daily Collegian Staff Writer After a year of often controversial discussion, the University Task Force is ready to present its proposal to reorganize student government. Copies of the constitution of the proposed Student Association will be available Monday at the main desk of the HUB. Because the constitution will not be available until Monday, the task force decided to postpone the public hearings scheduled for Monday and Tuesday. Members were concerned that students would not be able to become familiar with the constitution in time for the hearings. The first hearing will be held on Wednesday in the HUB main lounge at 7 p.m. Although the task force is ready to present its UMW support group / launches fund raising The United Mine Workers Strike Support Committee of Central Penn sylvania is - preparing to launch a community-wide fund raising campaign to ease the immediate hardships faced by striking miners and their families. Having lost their income, health benefits and pensions for 51 days so far, many mining families need money for fuel, health care and food. The UMW committee fully supports the miners in the strike, according to Forrest Malakoff, spokesman for the group. Malakoff said' the two basic issues of the strike are the right of local unions to strike about local issues and protection of health and pension benefits. The committee encourages student involvement in the miners’ cause, saying that any mining crisis will eventually affect the entire economy.

The problem arose over whether any restrictions should be placed on the amount of money a department of the Central Council can maintain in an unrestricted account. The task force had previously decided that organizations could only keep money they raised with the approval of Central Council and could not maintain an account that exceeded $l,OOO. M. Lee Upcraft, director of Residential Life, objected to this on the grounds that there would be no incentive for organizations to raise money. Grant Ackerman, president of the Undergraduate Student Government, disagreed. Ackerman said an organization that would be unable to generate even this much money would The committee, composed of students, faculty and community members, will focus its efforts first on increasing public awareness of the urgency of the miners’ situation through posters, leaflets and the media, committee members said. Contributors from church groups and townspeople will be sought in a down town campaign. Labor groups, student organizations and faculty members also will be urged to give support. Contributions of food, soap and paper products will also be collected. An important effort of the committee will be to help individuals in applying for benefits, such as food stamps.

Doyle Corman Jr., R-34th, said Thursday he will in troduce legislation which would allow private property owners to tow an illegally parked car on their property and charge “a reasonable cost tor holding the vehicle.” The cost or “lean” would be determined by the local municipality through an ordinance, Corman said.

Upcraft was also concerned about how organizations would react to the proposal restricting their accounts. ' “I think the whole damn model is going to make it or fall on this issue,” Upcraft said. Dave Roth, president of the Association of Residence Hall Students, said that the task force should wait and see what the reaction will be at the ppblic hearings. “I have a feeling that when we go to those hearings, we’re going to get so much bitching about it that we’re going to come back here and, change it anyway, said, v In other business, the task force: established mechanisms to impeach the president of the Student Association and BRUNCH 11 am - 3 pm 237-5311 Le Papillon CALL 237-2466 F ree, By GINA CARROLL' Daily Collegian Staff Writer “Something for nothing” is usually fallible—you’ve always got to pay somehow. But Bell’s Greek Pizza is pulling no punches the management is giving away a free slice of pizza to anyone who’s hungry enough to eat one. Chris Bell, the owner, says the promotion is a sure way to attract more business. “Something for nothing” creates, a different feeling. It creates a good feeling inside 'the customer. We know we have a superior product. We know people will comeback.” Bell knows it because it has been tried and proven by him. On Dec. 6,1977 Bell gave out more than 600 pizzas, a slice at a time —and there are eight slices to a pizza. According to manager Gus Nichols, the promotion lasts for two hours a day for the rest of the week. “I can’t guarantee this will pass,” Corman said. “I ought to have a good feeling within a , couple months whether it’s going anywhere.”, He added that the entire legislative process could take a minimum of six to eight months. Benjamin Novak, the Chamber committee’s attorney, said that holding a towed vehicle for Corman’s “reasonable cost” would make it impractical for a towing service to overcharge. He said th'e expense of a possible lawsuit probably would cost a towing service more than what it may have overcharged.
