Former student
guilty of September rape
A former University student was
found guilty of rape by a Centre
County court jury Saturday after
three hours of deliberation.
Todd S. Hodne, 19, of Wantaghc
N.Y., was found guilty of one count of
rape, one count of involuntary
deviant sexual intercourse and one
count of burglary.
State College police arrested Hodne
in October for allegedly raping a
female student in her College Heights
basement apartment in September.
The victim testified that at about 10
p.m. on Sept. 13 she had gone to the
grocery store, leaving her door
unlocked. When she had entered her
bedroom around midnight, the victim
said she was grabbed from behind at
knife point.
Hodne said that he was innocent
and that he had gone to a fraternity
party the night of the rape.
During the three-day trial, the
defendendant had testified that he
was charged in a burglary incident
this summer at a State College record

Local environmental programs tentatively set'
By DIANE ENSMINGER
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
Eco-Action's plans for Spring Term have not been
finalized yet, but tentative plans include follow-up
lectures on nuclear energy, Gentle Thursday recycling,
Sun Day workshops, and more action on pollution
problems in Spring Creek.
Eco-Action plans to get involved in Gentle Thursday
on April 26 by recycling the trash the gentle people
generate. They will also have their usual every-other-
Saturday recycling at Parking Lot 83 North (near the
flower gardens). Glass, aluminum, tin and newspapers
are recycled.
Another day to mark on the calendar is May 4, which
is Sun Day. The place has not been decided yet, but
Central Parklet and blocking off McAllister Street are
two possibilities that have been discussed, said Jim
Perkins, an Eco-Action member.
Ferguson mall petition hearing to precede decision
A petition filed by Ferguson Township
residents opposed to the proposed
shopping mall there will be the subject of
a hearing Tuesday.
A temporary injunction ordering
Ferguson Township Supervisors not to
decide on Oxford Development Com
pany's rezoning request without con
sidering the petition was issued on Feb.
28 by Centre County Common Pleas

Judge Richard M. Sharp. The injunction
was issued at the request of the residents
only hours before a township supervisors
meeting.
The supervisors had assembled all the
planning commission reports and other
items required by law and might have
made their decision at the Feb. 28
meeting without ever hearing the
resident's petition, Park Hills

Displays of solar equipment and low-energy
technology will be featured, Perkins said. There will
also be workshops on solar hot water heaters and solar
greenhouses. On May 5, tours of a half-dozen solar
houses in the area are planned.
Eco-Action also plans to discuss another alternate
energy source nuclear energy in a series of lec
tures. No date has been set for the lectures.
Other events include a tentatively scheduled benefit
concert by Hatdance for Greenpeace. Greenpeace
started out as a "save the whales" organization, but is
now concerned with the protection of all wildlife.
Another subject on the agenda is co-sponsoring, with
Colloquy, the group Voices from the Earth. This group
of American Indians lectures all over the country on
environmental concerns.
Alternate environmental education will be the topic of
a lecture" and slide show presentation to be given by
Homeowners Association President
Chester Gnatt said.
Township Solicitor Ronald M. Lucas
said Judge Sharp found no bad faith on
the part of the supervisors. Sharp agreed
with the supervisors in that "initiative"-
type petition procedures (which can
enact legislation) under Ferguson
Township's home rule charter are
irrelevant to zoning ordinances.

Kris Otley, Eco-Action vice-president. Oticy's
presentation will be about the Audubon Expedition
Institute, which takes an "Outward Bound" typi of
approach to environmental education. The date has:nof
been decided.
Eco-Action will continue to try to prevent Nease
Chemicals from polluting Spring Creek with kepone and
mirex. The chemicals were used as insecticides .but
both have been banned as suspected cancer-causing
.
agents. . ,'
The problem, said Dennis McHugh of Eco-Actiofl, is
that kepone and mirex wastes are stored in concrete
lagoons on Nease property. The chemicals leach out of
the lagoons and contaminate Spring Creek. Nease has
been ordered by the Department of Environmebtal
Resources to remove the lagoons, but has done notiiine
and the chemicals continue to leach, McHugh said. : i '
Lucas said the supervisors would:not
have made the rezoning decision before
Tuesday's petition hearing. 1 ,
Judge Sharp concluded that
petitioners "have a right to a public
hearing, also that the subject of their
petition be' brought before the Board of
Supervisors by action within three
months of its filing. ,
