—The Daily Collegian Friday, Jan. 5, 1979 More space in dormitories Bolster removal bolsters rooms A proposal to remove bolsters from the walls in North Halls was approved by housing and will probably go into effect sometime next week, Jack Brown, manager of housing services said yesterday. Bolsters are box-like shelves with lids which hang on opposing walls above beds. Taking off the bolsters "will give students more flexibility in arranging their rooms," Brown Said. The proposal states that the removal of a bolster and the addition of bunk beds increases the living space 14 square feet. Students who want to remove the bolsters, which are bolted through the walls of adjoining rooms, must have the consent of the residents of both rooms. Only one bolster may be taken off the Colloquy pays top dollar for names How much does it cost to lure a famous, high-priced attorney to speak at Penn State? Colloquy paid $4,500 to bring criminal lawyer F. Lee Bailey, who has defended the Boston Strangler, Patty Hearst and' now Sid Vicious. Columnist Art Buchwald, scheduled to appear 'Feb. 7, will be getting $5,000. Colloquy publicity director Jeff Schmoyer said recently that the amount of money paid to celebrity speakers certainly is an essential factor,, but there's more involved. Without the time spent planning, telephoning, scheduling, debating and deciding, Bailey would never have appeared. Finding renowned speakeri takes more than calling and offering them money, he said. Even. the building where the speaker is to appear must be reserved a year in advance.

The debating end entails recruiting speakers who are popular with students and at a price Colloquy can afford, Schmoyer said. The initial contact is made through agencies that check who is available and when. Schmoyer said the next step is choosing "the best possible person for the right amount of money." Colloquy tries to schedule one major program and one major speaker each term, Schmoyer said. Of ten . a theme or program is designed around a speakers' appearance.

"The proposal is exactly what we wanted," Osborn said. "Housing sometimes has a bad name, this is one case where they were trying." "With the cooperation of students, both students and housing can work successfully together on this program," Brown said. Brown said the proposal is for North Halls and it has no specific guidelines for the other residence areas. Students would have to get in touch with the Housing Supervisor in their areas. —by Patricia McCaffrey •R', ~ ... jt ti oir , ir ~,, At r Thar she blows Once Atlantic City's finest, The Blenhein Hotel paid the price of progress yes terday to make room for a new casino.

Daniel 'J. Flood, but said efforts are under way_ to provide important financial documents to the defense in time for the trial. The Pennsylvania Democrat had asked U.S. District Judge Oliver Gasch to postpone the trial until March, partly on grounds that key financial records from Pennsylvania banks were not available to defense attorneys. "Both the court and the United States attorney offered to assist (defense) counsel in getting the remaining materials sought from the Pennsylvania bank accounts," Gasch said in a court ruling. "The court was advised by the United States attorney that the court's request for expedition had been 'made known to the banks concerned. "It thus appears that reasonable ef forts are being made to furnish the defendant with the material his counsel seeks on an expedited basis."
