Mall could affect wells

The effect of the proposed
Ferguson Township shopping mall on
the University’s water supply should
be investigated, said University
Director of the Physical Plant John
D. Miller.
The proposed mail’s drainage
would feed into a watershed that
adjoins the Big Hollow and Thompson
farm areas (west of campus) where
most of the University’s wells are
located, Miller said.
Unlike most large universities,
Penn State relies solely on wells for
its water supply and has no reservoir.
The lack of a large reservoir is not
unusual considering the University’s
rural setting, Miller said.
“We hope that engineering studies
will be considered before the
Ferguson supervisors make their
(rezoning) decision,” said University
Vice President for Business Ralph E.
Zilly. The bulk of the University’s
wells lie within an area that could be
affected by the mail’s drainage, he
said.

The township supervisors have
hired University professor of
hydrogeology Richard R. Parezik to
conduct a study of subsurface con
ditions of the proposed mall site.
“The University’s well fields are a
concern of the study” he said.
Parezik will submit a report on his
findings to the Ferguson Planning
Commission on Feb. 22.
In a related matter, township
supervisors did not act Tuesday night
on a citizens’ group request for a
hearing on the supervisors’ earlier
refusal to issue petitions to the group.
Chester Gnatt, president of the
Park Hills Homeowners’ Association,
said last night the citizens are at
tempting to file the petitions in an
effort to have the 100-acre tract along
North Atherton Street rezoned as a
combination of residential and
general commercial land.
The citizens object to the Oxford
Co.’s proposal to have the land
rezoned for commercial use only, he
said, because such a plan would not
conform to the township’s com
prehensive plan for land use.

Penn P!RG petitions again
students question legality
By LINDA HOELZLE
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
The Pennsylvania Public Interest
Research Group has begun a new
petition drive calling for a referendum
on the Undergraduate Student Govern.
ment ballots on March 27 and 28.
Jeff Goldsmith, coordinator of Penn-
PIRG, told a meeting of PIRG members
last night that they have already
received 3,000 signatures •on another
petition but said some students have
questioned their legality since . the
petitions support PIRG instead of calling
for a referendum.
Goldsmith said he is trying to get a
hearing before the Supreme Court of
USG asking them to accept the petitions
PIRG already has. He said it only stands
to reason if a student signed a petition
supporting PIRG they would favor the
referendum.
In order to get a referendum on the
USG ballot, Goldsmith said, PIRG needs
1,500 signatures and are circulating the
new petitions in case the Supreme Court
rules against the old petitions.
By signing the new petition, Goldsmith
said, students are not necessarily
supporting PIRG but just supporting the
question of having such an organization

put before the student body,
Goldsmith said if PIRG succeeds in
getting the referendum on the ballot, 25
percent of the student body will be
needed for it to pass. In the past, he said,
only about 22 percent of the students
have voted in the elections.
If the referendum is passed, Gold
smith said, PIRG’s next move will be to
gain administrative support by,
presenting the organization to the Board
of Trustees for final approval in May.
“I think the referendum has a very,
very definite chance for succeeding,”
Goldsmith said.
Goldsmith also reported that Penn-
PIRG had been offered help at the
North-Eastern PIRG Conference by
PIRG organizations in Rhode Island,
Washington and Massachusetts.’
PennPIRG has already received
financial or organizational help from the
Oregon, New York and Minnesota
PIRG’s.
Goldsmith said PIRG will have a table
with Eco Action at registration in which
interested students can sign the new
petition. Petitions are also being
distributed by PIRG members and one is
located in the Organization for Town
Independent Students office.
