Once a child enters public school in State College, he may be eligible for a free or reduced price lunch (20 cents instead of 50 cents at the elementary school level). Pamela Gray, a home and school visitor for the State College Area School District, said that about 10 per cent of the students in the district are participating in the free or reduced price lunch program about the national listing situations where discrimination may occur to “all citizens." Both the original resolution, as proposed by the borough’s human services committee, and Lloyd’s version were turned down by a vote of 4 to 3. The original resolution urged equal and fair treat ment in employment, housing and public ac commodations regardless of “race, religious creed, ancestry, age, sex, national origin, physical handicap, marital status, oraffectional or sexual orientation." about the reward East Halls President Kathy Howe said this might be one way to “discourage vandalism.” The vandal, or vandals, used a rod from a foosball table to pry the bottom of the machine off, Howe said.

Edward McMullen, food service director of the district, said that some students will not pick up their tickets because they are embarassed.
