/Senate members will meet with Campus
-7 Loop officials today to discuss this
summer’s 15-cent Loop fare increase.
The Campus Loop ad hoc committee
will suggest to Ralph Zilly, vice
president for business and Richard
Crowley, assistant vice president for
business, to make the fare free at night,
senate President Mark Berg said.
“Zilly and Crowley have to check with
their lawyers because they might have
■ to go back-to the PUC to change the
fare,” Qerg said. “They don’t like to ask
the PUC to reverse the fee they already
setup.”
The Loop would not lose money by
making the fare free at night because
the revenues at night are low, he said.
Centre Halls senator Allison David
said she wants to suggest that no fare be
charged after 6 or 7 p.m. when it gets
dark.
Zilly and Crowley, however, want the
free fare to start later in the evening so
that they do not lose money, David said.
“If they lower the fare the whole night,
the administration would look on the
Loop favorably because they are taking
an obvious step to curtail the rape
problem,” she said. “What’s worth more
a life or money?”
The ad hoc committee will also
suggest reducing the price of Loop term
passes. The price increased from>slo to

to discuss L oop fares
$25 this year when the per-trip fare in
creased from 10 cents to 25 cents.
Berg said he thinks Zilly and Crowley
will agree to that suggestion, ,
“They pretty much agree.that $25 is a
ridiculous price,” he said.
By lowering the term-pass price, the
Loop could gain money because most
people do not have passes now, he said.
Loop officials will not judge this
term’s ridership statistics.until the end
of Spring Term when they can account
for all weather conditions, Berg said.
“They don’t see a, need for lowering
the fare now because they fully expect to
get a capacity ridership in the winter;
when it snows,” he said.

Last month the ad hoc cpmmittee
surveyed, students on ridership. More
than half the students who answered the
survey said they had ridden the Loop
less frequently this term. '
“But (Zilly and Crowley) are con
vinced that we can’t know for sure how
students think with our surveys, and
they very well could be right,” Berg
said. • •
David said that in their concern for
money, Loop officials have forgotten
that the Loop is a student service.

Loop, Zilly and Crowley do not think they
are hurting the students financially,
Berg said. '
Berg also said that another reason
Loop officials do not want to lower the
fare is because fare money will soon be
used to replace the buses.
“We’re going to keep pushing, but.
we’re faced the ghat’s best for the
students,” he said. “If deficits keep,
getting higher,.we will probably lose the
Loop altogether.
“If getting the fare back to 15 cents
means that we will lose the Loop in three
years instead of in 10 years, then maybe
lowering the fare isn’t the best thing in
the long run/’he said.

Local United way supports many agencies
By KIM MARSCHHAUSEN
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
“Thanks to you, it works for all of us.
The United Way.”
Many of you have probably heard this
.slogan. : But what does it mean? What
exactly is the United Way?
The United Way is an organization
comprised mostly of volunteers who
raise money in the community for a
broad grange of agencies and human
services. The group’s local chapter, the
Centre Uounty United Way, supports 27
area agencies from the funds it raises.
According to Robert J. Scannell,
chairman of the Centre County United
Way 1979 fund-raising campaign, the
University is the largest single employer
in the area and has the biggest list of
potential donors. It is therefore a critical
area that makes or breaks the drive, he
said.
The University became involved with
the United Way approximately 10 years
ago when the Board of Trustees decided
that the University could cooperate with

.-Prystowsky is provost of the

without a specified contribution.
The national United Way' operates
more as a supportive structure, Scannell
said, providing assistance and advice for
its many chapters throughout the nation.
Basically, the organization is divided
into counties, with some areas having
statewide drives, and others being
dominated by a particular city. The
specific dates of the fund-raising drives
vary slightly across the country.
• The Centre County United Way’s fund
raising drive began-in mid-September
and will last until Thanksgiving,
Scannell said. However, he said the
ending date is flexible, depending on
whether or not the group’s goal is
reached. The county’s goal for 1979,
which has yet to be reached, is $350,000.
Any service agency is entitled to come
before the group’s < allocations com
mittee, which then- determines what
organizations will be helped. The yearly
goal is determined by the total amount of
need of the cotnbined agencies, Scannell
said. Each United Way chapter is then
awarded the Rotary Foundation
Scholarship for 1980-81.
The award, presented by the Rotary
District of Eastern Pennsylvania, will
allow Simonson to attend- the Regen
sburg University in West Germany,
-where he will be a graduate student in
political science and international
relations.
The scholarship is designed to
promote international understanding
and covers the cost of tuition, travel, and
room and board.

has been named director of the

presenting the money to the local
agencies it represents.
Locally, the Centre County United
Way represents various agencies, from
a rape/abuse crisis center to a nursing
home auxiliary. Contained in the 27
organizations that the chapter helps is
something for everyone, including,
students.
However, a question that often arises,
Scannell said, is whether a student’s
charitable obligation is to State College
or to their home towns, which is why
students are solicited, although anyone
may contribute.
Scannell also said that some of the
agencies that need help the most, but do
not receive a lot of attention, are
organizations to help the aged and the
mentally retarded.
“A lot of those agencies, without
something like the United Way, wouldn’t
survive,” Scannell said..
