Corruption first priority
Scranton:
By STEPHEN MARTE
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
Higher education cannot expect any
bags of money thrown its way until
corruption and waste are emptied out of
Harrisburg, William W. Scranton,
Republican candidate for lieutenant
governor, said yesterday.
After having worked with guber
natorial nominee Richard Thornburgh,
Scranton said both of them think about
$3O million of taxpayers’ money has been
wasted within the state, in such areas as
welfare fraud, ridiculous pamphlets and
unproductive officials.
Speaking at a luncheon at Gatsby’s
and then with student leaders at the
HUB, the son of the former governor
called for a renaissance within the entire
state.
“We have a reputation as one of the
most corrupt states in the union,”
Scranton said. “So suddenly we are
finding ourselves in competition with 49
other states to hold onto our manufac
turing and industrial base.”
“We’ve gdt to bring back a sense of
rejuvenation to industry and the job
market, and this cannot be done until
corruption and our fiscal problems are
solved,” Scranton said.
Tax reforms conducive to industry,
productivity standards for government
officials and the creation of an in
dependent department as a watchdog on
corruption all are possible answers to
problems, Scranton said.

on the basis of knowledge, not political
expediency.
Scranton said Republican guber
natorial nominee Richard Thornburgh
has proven himself an honest worker
while federal prosecutor in Pittsburgh,
and will bring the same spirit to the
state.
“Flaherty is a decent man, but ne will
have to go to the same well for help that
is there, and that well is polluted,”
Scranton said. “When the people in
power are sour, you get rid of them. ”
“We need strict management reform
and the end of political appointments as
favors. We need responsible people,” he
said.
After these priorities are solved, that
would be the time to re-evaluate a
reallocation of state funds.
Part of the Thornburgh-Scranton plan
calls for “providing services efficiently
and effectively with the least cost to the
public,” but at the same time working
toward a first class educational system.
The Republican candidates are in
favor of more funding for the Penn
sylvania Higher Education Assistance
Agency for people who cannot afford
current tuition costs.
Scranton also spoke of the possibility
of changing state universities from non
preferred, to preferred status. This
would mean being considered first for
funding, but on the the other side of the
coin, some people fear this might mean
more state control on university policy.
Scranton promised that if elected,
appropriations for higher education
would keep pace with inflation. Budget
crises like last year’s could be averted

The Daily Collegian Friday, Oct. 20,1978 —
increase
with stronger state leadership and better
relations across party lines, he said.
A 1969 graduate of Yale and former
owner of a chain of newspapers in the
Scranton area, the young candidate, 31,
said he is extremely qualified.
“I have gotten out and campaigned,
and shown the people I at least have
semi-coherent ideas,” he said.
Casey, a boilogy teacher from Pitt
sburgh, was nominated in what has been
described by U.S. Senator Richard
Schweiker as the “Casey put-on,” since
many voters confused him with the
former State Auditor General Robert P.
Casey.
Democratic gubernatorial candidate
Pete Flaherty has said, however, that
Casey will be helpful to him on
educational issues.
Scranton cited a recent Philadelphia
newspaper as quoting Casey saying he
thought special education teachers were
a waste of money. “ ‘lf the kid’s deaf,
put him in the front of the classroom,’ ”
Scranton quoted Casey.
This statement shows the
philosophical differences between the
two tickets, Scranton said. “There is a
difference between cutting, cutting,
cutting, and cutting responsibly. There
are some programs which are
necessary. You can’t just go in there
with a cold sword and a sharp sword and
start cutting away.”
Also, Scranton spoke against lowering
the drinking age to 18, and against the
decriminalization of marijuana. As a
professed ex-user of grass, Scranton
said he thought it only tended to dull the
mental powers.
