Failure to obey traffic
laws
more
More serious bike accidents and
collisions have occured this fall than
ever before, said the director of
University safety Friday.
"Bike opeiators think of them
selves as fast-moving pedestrians,
and they are not," David E. Stormer
said. "They must obey vehicle traffic
rules."
"More bikes are registered on
campus this fall than ever before," he
said. About 6,000 bicycle permits
were issued this year, indicating that
at least that number are not
registered on campus, he said.
Fraser Street is the biggest
problem area, Stormer said. Bikers
travel the wrong way on the one-way
street as a matter of convenience.
Passing on the right in front of a car
is another major cause of accidents,
Stormer said.

"Most of the time, the vehicle
operator can't anticipate this
maneuver," Stormer said.
Operating the bicycle on sidewalks
is a hazard to the pedestrian and the
biker, he said. Because of the in
stallation of ramps to the sidewalk for
the benefit of the handicapped, easy
access is also available to the biker,
Stormer said.
"The bike, by design, is hazar
dous," he said. "There are no
protective mechanisms for the
operator."
"The bicyclist has the same rights
and responsibilities as motor vehicle
operators," he said. "He is obligated
to follow them."

Can't get 'Cap'n Crunch' fix in dining halls

Dear Strife Line,
I was raised on cold cereal, milk and
juice for breakfast. The last two are not
of concern to me because the dining halls
provide these with utmost consistency.
However, I would like to see a more
varied selection of cold cereals, in
cluding my childhood favorites like
Cocoa Krispies, Cap'n Crunch or Alpha
Bits. I am sure that many others share
my simple requests.
Cocoa Krispies Lover
Dear Cocoa Krispies Lover,
The dining halls currently serve about
15 different kinds of cereals, four or five
of which have some type of sugar
coating, including Sugar Frosted
Flakes, Sugar Pops, Sugar Smacks and
Frosted Mini Wheats.
The cost of these cereals is generally
higher than the other brands served,
such as Corn Flakes, Special K and Rice
Krigpies, said William N. Curley,
director of food services.
With the multitude of brands and

flavors of cereals on the market today, it
is impossible to pick everyone's
childhood favorite. Limited storage
space also holds down the variety,
Curley said. Therefore, the brands most
popular to the majority of students are
served.
I suggest that if you absolutely must
have your Alpha Bits or Cap'n Crunch,
follow your nose to a grocery store and
pick up a box to bring to the dining hall
at breakfast, as many students do.

Dear TB,
Whether or not you are eligible for aid
depends on how many credits you will be
getting for your practicum. If you will be
getting eight or more credits, you will
still be classified as a full-time student,

Dear Strife Line,
I am going abroad for a term and I was
wondering where I could store some of
my belongings so that I wouldn'thave to
take them home, since I will be needing
them again in the spring.
Leaving on a Jet Plane
Dear Leaving,
You don't say whether you live in a
residence hall or an apartment. It also
depends on what it is you want to store.
If you live in a residence hall, you
probably won't be able to store your
belongings there, because there is only
limited space available, said Dorothy A.
Stover, Centre Halls housing supervisor.
Perhaps you could ask friends who
have extra space to keep some of your
belongings in order to save the expense
of leasing warehouse space.
If you have furniture or other large
items, you can rent storage area in a
warehouse. You can rent a 5x5x10 foot
area at Stowaway for $l2 per month plus
a $5 deposit. You will have a key and 24-
hour access to your belongings.
You could also go to Centre Carriers,
or Hoy Transfer Inc. Both charge $8 per
month for 1,000 lbs. plus a $9.50 fee for
warehouse handling charge. Both are
located in State College.

were listed in satisfactory condition.
