Crowd adds to concert success
By TOM DeMEO
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
Excellent weather, good bands and a
mellow crowd contributed to a suc
cessful Movin' On concert on the HUB
lawn Saturday and yesterday.
Lee Karelitz, technical director of the
concert, said weather was a major
concern in organizing the event. Karelitz
said the Association of Residence Hall
Students, sponsor of Movin' On, was
"very lucky" to have excellent weather
Saturday and yesterday. Over $2OO was
spent on plastic to cover the stage and
scaffolding in the event of rain, he said.
Security was also a consideration,
Karelitz said. "We want to make sure
the people backstage belong there," he
said.
Clarence Robinson of University
Police Services said no arrests had been
made at the concert, although a few
people were "checked out." "It's gone
pretty well," he said.
ARHS President Steve Osborn said the
police were pleased that the crowd was
Thousands protest nuclear power
WASHINGTON (UPI) The largest anti-nuclear
power crowd ever to assemble in the United States,
upwards of 65,000 by official estimates, marched on the
Capitol yesterday, and California Gov. Edmund Brown
jr. urged demonstrators to seek a moratorium on new
nuclear power plant construction in their states.
• "No more nukes no more Harrisburgs," the
demonstrators chanted and raised signs reading "Hell
no, we won't glow" as their huge procession swung
along Pennsylvania Avenue in bright sun.
' U.S. Park Police estimated an early afternoon crowd
of 65,000 jammed the area at the foot of Capitol Hill to
protest the dangers of nuclear power. The gathering far
surpassed previous anti-nuclear demonstrations that
drew 20,000 in San Francisco in April and up to 25,000 at
Seabrook, N.H., last year.
' Brown, a nuclear power fodand one of the few elected
officials invited to speak, said governors and
legislatures have the power, "as they had in California,
to enact moratoriums on new nuclear power plants.
Deniandthat in your state."

Freshman quarterback Jon Lebo prepares for the in

Eddy discusses the University and the next decade
Editors Note: Few administrators can
claim, for better or worse, that they
have built a reputation like Provost
Edward D. Eddy's after only two years
in office. He has been the center of
controversy during the gun issue, has
held the University President title and
has eaten regularly in the Lion's Den.
On Saturday, Daily Collegian
reporters Bob Frick and Kathy Hoke
interviewed Eddy in his Old Main office
about the Penn State Plan for the 'Bos,
his experiences here at the University;
his decision to arm campus police, and
other matters. The following is a tran
script of that interview, edited slightly
for clarity and length.
COLLEGIAN: The preliminary task
force reports for the Plan for the 'Bos say
that faculty members spend too much
time on undergraduate instruction. Do
you believe this to be true?
EDDY: . . . With the exception of
some of the passages in the Task Force I
report (Purpose, Programs and
Priorities) ... I don't get the flavor
which you're trying, I think, to over
simplify, and that is that there is that
much stress placed on sacrificing un
dergraduate teaching in order to ac
complish the other jobs of reseach and
graduate teaching.

orderly. "The crowd's been really
super," he said.
Karelitz was also technical director of
last year's Movin' On, when the concert•
was held at the Intramural Fields near
Beaver Stadium. He said this year's
concert was easier to produce. "We
haven't been behind schedule more than
15 minutes" at any time, he said.
The intramural fields were a much
more expensive place to hold a concert,
he said. More police were required
because of nearby roads and security at
the stadium, he said. Another cost was a
generator to supply power, which was
not needed on the HUB lawn, he said.
Also, last year work crews had to set
up and take down equipment in the rain,
he said.
As for trash collection, Linda
Overheim (6th-architectural
engineering) said the crowd was "really
good about it. I was down here last night
(Saturday) and there was hardly
anything on the lawn."
Osborn said it took 10 minutes to clean
"Nuclear power is a health issue, it's an en
vironmental issue, but fundamentally it's a political
issue," said Brown. "If you're not building from the
future, you're stealing from it. Join life join the
moratorium now."
In an interview with United Press International,
Brown was critical of President Carter and the
Washington establishment.
"Washington has been insensitive to the risk nuclear
power the issues of safety, waste disposal and the
possibility of sabotage constitutes to the American
people. Jimmy Carter, (Energy Secretary) James
Schlesinger and Congress together and individually
could have acted to lead the country on a more
benign path," he said.
The demonstrators, mostly from the Northeast but
representing all sections of the country, scheduled
meetings for today with at least 135 of their
congressmen and senators.

Interview
I think that we have to assume from
the start the the University takes for
granted that undergraduate teaching is
the base and that we have to build upon
that base in terms of research and
graduate teaching.
It's easy to say that the undergraduate
is being cheated or will be cheated more
in the future and yet I think that's far
oversimplifying the situation. I suspect
that the stress is coming out of the task
force reports (to its) readers in this
fashion because there has been
widespread feeling amoung part of the
faculty that the research function has
suffered more than the teaching func
tion.
COLLEGIAN: So you think they
(faculty members) might be
overreacting • against undergraduate
teaching because they're in favor of
more research?

up the lawn Saturday night; there were
"no cans at all" on the ground. The
"discrete" manners of the crowd will
contribute to the success of Movin' On in
future years, he said.
• The central location of the HUB lawn
was "handy to everyone" from the
dormitory areas and helped to increase
the turnout of town residents, Osborn
said. Saturday night "people were
coming up in waves" from town, he said.
. This year's concert was for the benefit
of the Association for Barrier-free
Living, Environment and Design, a
student organization seeking improved
University facilities for handicapped
students.
Osborn said Sunday night ARHS ex
pected to raise a total of about $5OO for
ABLED. ARHS marshalls solicited
donations from the crowd and additional
money was raised by the sale of .Movin'
On T-shirts, Osborn said.
ABLED President Bob Carlson said he
was pleased with the amount of money
that had been raised. He said anything
EDDY: I think there is feeling on the
part of some faculty members that we
ought to be strengthening the research
component, and then there's the ten
dency to feel on the part of students that
that automatically means .. . un
dergraduate teaching will suffer. I don't
think that the two necessarily follow.
COLLEGIAN: How is Harrisburg
going to view this increased emphasis on
research?
EDDY: Harrisburg is only a part of
the source (of funds) for research for the
University. The largest single source is
the federal government.
COLLEGIAN: Right. But might not
(Harrisburg) be harder on our ap
propriation if they find professors will be
turning out less student credit hours?
EDDY: I think . . . it's more difficult
to sell a state legislature on the value of
research then it is the federal congress.
brought to mind the days of the Vietnam war protests in
the nation's capital.
Gregory, who also fasted during the Vietnam war,
vowed to eat no solid food until all nuclear power plants
in the country were closed down. Miss Fonda said the
purpose of the rally was "to put pressure on President
Carter to fire (Energy Secretary James) Schlesinger
and stop fronting for the nuclear industry."
The march was sponsored by the May 6 Coalition,
which developed from meetings held shortly after the
March 28 accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear
plant near Harrisburg.
Consumer advocate Ralph Nader, describing atomic
power as "our country's technological Vietnam,", urged
the protesters to begin grass-roots lobbying to rid the
nation of nuclear power.
"The history of the nuclear power industry is replete
with cover-ups, deceptions, outright lies, error,
negligence, arrogance, greed, innumerable unresolved
safety problems and a cost-plus accounting that taxes
citizens as consumers and taxpayers," said Nader.
Swenson said he was appointed to the
presidency in violation of the Council's
constitution because the Council did not
have enough members to support any
legitimate action.
In addition, Swenson said confusion
within the Council resulted in three
different students' being listed as the
College's student faculty senator, none
of which were elected legitimately.
"My personal adviser told me at the
end of Winter Term that the Council's
president had left, and that there was
nobody else to take over the position,"
Swenson said. "I went to see Tom Kelly,
the Council's faculty adviser, and he
said I could have the job."
According to the Council's con
stitution, an election for president of the
Council should take place at the end of
Winter Term.

Kelly said because there were not
enough members in the Council to hold a
formal election, he had to appoint a new
president.
was better than the debt ABLED faced
now.
Carlson said ABLED members were
inviting people at the concert to use
wheelchairs and "see how it is" to use
them. He said people think it is a novelty
but the "novelty doesn't always wear
off."
John Senior, a sound engineer for the
band Orbis, said ' he thought the
organizers at Movin' On should be
commended for the job they did com
pared to the organizers of similar events
at other universities. "They've added a
bit of class," he said.
Osborn said "It was really packed
(Saturday)." Yesterday the crowd was
of modest size at first but grew as the
day progressed. "It's been a real suc
cess," Osborn said.
Karelitz . said this year's Movin' On
was the "best organized in the (last)
four years."
"I think the University is pleased with
the way Movin' On has been run," he
said.
Lack of student interest results
in council election rules violation
By DOUG BELL
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
The failure of students to participate
in student government has resulted in
several violations of election rules in the
College of Education Student Council,
Council President Bill Swenson said.

That's the name of Nancy Ruslander's (7th-recreation and parks) one-year
old pet guinea pig which she brought to Movin' On. At right is Mark Niewig
(7th-agricultural education).
"Bill was the only one who came to me
and asked for the job," Kelly said.
Swenson also said the Council's lack of
members was responsible for last
month's violation of the rules for elec
ting a student faculty senator for the
college.
Swenson said the Council did not hold
the required open election for the
position because he had just taken over
as president and was not yet familiar
with the election procedures.
The election was held during a joint
meeting of the student chapter of the
Pennsylvania State Education
Association and the Council.
"We nominated and elected Nancy
Miller to the position of student faculty
senator at the meeting," Swenson said.
"But somewhere along the line there
was a breakdown, and I received papers
in the mail saying that I was the new
faculty senator. And all of this was
before I knew anything about the ap
pointment of Maryann Connolly to the
position."
Connolly (Bth-speech pathology and
audiology) another Council member,
was appointed to the position of student
faculty senator by the Council's former
president, Tom Shaffer, before he left
the University at the end of Winter
Term.

"The only two active people left in the
Council at the end of Winter Term were
Tom Shaffer and Maryann Connolly,"
Swenson said. "Shaffer appointed her to
the position of faculty senator for the
following year."
Connolly said because she was one of
the only active members left on the
Council, Shaffer appointed her to the
position.
"Tom told me that I would stay on as
faculty senator for the following year,"
Connolly said. "I didn't know that an
open election had to be held Spring Term
until people started asking me about it."
The Faculty Senate has since told
Connolly she will continue as student
faculty senator until an open election
can be held in the College of Education
next fall.
"I want to get the Council back
together again," Swenson said. "I think
it's time to end all of these ap
pointments."
We'll have sunny, warm days and
clear, mild nights through at least
Tuesday. Today's high will be 74,
tonight's low will be 53, and expect the
mercury to soar to a summer-like 80
degrees on Tuesday!
