12—The Daily Collegian Friday, March 21, 1980
Kreta/Cobb:
COLLEGIAN: Should USG serve students by
providing things like Date Match, Florida trips
and term break buses, or by dealing with the
administration in helping influence policy
decisions? Which is more important?
KRETA: Undoubtedly the most important
thing that USG has to deal with is dealing with
the administration and helping to influence
various policies. This requires the utmost
. priority from USG, the administration and the
senate working together with other University
student organizations to help influence the
University officials in dealing with various
policies that do indeed concern us.
As far as providing the students with services
• such as the Date Match this too I believe is
. important. It provides the students with a little
relaxation and break from the studies and
everything else. This is just as • important as
dealing with the administration to USG.
, • COLLEGIAN: What is the role of USG
president?
KRETA: The role of the USG president is one
• that, as I see it, has to do with not only the
University, the faculty and the administration in
. helping to formulate policy, but it is also one
where the president is able to deal with the
various student organizations to have their
respect, to be able to work with them on various
problems that confront them in their
- organizations, and to help them as much as
possible to alleviate their problems. In general,
PHEAA sets up
The Pennsylvania Higher Education
- Assistance Agency has set up three toll
: free information numbers for college
students who need immediate answers
: to, questions on federal and state
financial aid programs.
• "Students asking any kind of questions
.about grants or loans can call these
numbers," said Ron Taylor, public
t• relations director of PHEAA.
The number for information on state
grants to students is 1-800-692-7435, and
- the number for information on student
loans is 1-800-692-7392. Students calling
both these numbers will be connected
with PHEAA in Harrisburg.

Callers will be connected with the BEOG

The BEOG line and the student grant
line have been in service for a year and a
half and the loan number has been set up
since September, Taylor said. During
that time PHEAA has received ap
proximately 40,000 calls.
Taylor said PHEAA encourages all
students with questions to make use of
the service.
".'We don't want a kid to pay a nickel if
he can get more money from •us
(PHEAA)," he said.
A great way of life
USG Senate has become
to work with these various student organizations
in an attempt to improve the students' life here.
COLLEGIAN: What structure would you have
for handling money and how would you prevent it
from being spent without being approved?
KRETA: The structure for handling money in
USG undoubtedly has to be reviewed. The senate
this year has managed to bog down in trying to
determine this and in effect has decreased its
efficiency.
Undoubtedly USG has to be able to have a
money-making division so as to be able to con
tinue to provide students with the services they
want when they want them. You've probably
already heard the saying that you have to spend
money to make money. This is undoubtedly
important; however, it has become a bit of a
problem in spending money without approval.
This has to be reviewed.
Naturally, since I have not been involved in
USG, there are some things that I admit I have to
learn. With inflation and everything else, USG is
losing more and more of its purchasing and
buying power. This makes it necessary for USG
to continue to have a money-making division. We
would like to see USG become an independent
organization so as to provide other student
organizations, through ASA, with additional
money
As for the structure of the money-making
division of USG, this undoubtedly should be
reviewed once again by the new senate since this

senate has failed to implement a reasonable plan
and has gotten considerably bogged down since
January. I believe that perhaps a director of
programs and services with a paid business
manager underneath, or perhaps even paying
the director of programs and services with
proper channeling of information and getting
proper approval from both the administration
and senate, would be one possible way to
eliminate the problem of spending money
without approval
COLLEGIAN: Do you have any special ideas,
proposals or programs that you would like to
implement?
KRETA: As our king pin slogan indicates, we
want to begin building for the future while
providing the student services that the students
need now.
We believe that we have to work to become a
respected organization. As a result we believe
that the best thing we could implement right now
would be a working cooperation between the
various student organizations. They, we believe,
know more about their problems than we do. We
want to be able to sit down and talk with various
groups and discuss their problems, no matter
how big or how small. They all deserve our at
tention and whatever we can do to help them, we
want to be able to sit down and be able to im
plement them.
COLLEGIAN: What type of pay system do you
want to set up for USG?

inefficient' due to poor communication
KRETA: The type of pay system we would like
to set up for USG would be one where the
business manager or the director of the money
making division would be paid a weekly salary
since this is basically a full-time job and carries
with it a lot of responsibilities.
When you consider the fact that such a person
might be able to go out and get a job outside and
put in basically the same time that he would for
USG, I feel that it is only fair to be able to pay
such a person. We also believe that employees of
the money-making divisions should get paid. We
believe that this is an opportunity for USG to
prove its reputation to some extent by helping its
fellow students with their tuition. We believe that
you can rely more on students
.wheri they feel
they are being paid
COLLEGIAN: How can you improve USG's
credibility with the students and with the ad
ministration?
KRETA: To improve USG's credibility with
the students and the administation is going to
require increased communication with these
groups
An example recently of the lack of com
munication between student groups and the
administration is the recent rape map sponsored
by the USG senate. Lack of communication
between the administration and the senate
resulted in a senator having to give $BOO out of his
own pocket in order to fund this. Although the
administration has since picked up $6OO of that

bill, we believe that this does not reflect well' on
USG and its ability to communicate with the
administration.
As far as increasing communication with
students, this again we believe should be done
through the student organizations since they r re
the ones in touch with many of the students. We
believe that sitting down and working with these
various organizations, and helping them with
their various projects, would be the best way to
increase the credibility of USG.
COLLEGIAN: What is USG's biggest
problem?
KRETA: In our opinion, USG is USG's biggest
problem.
The senate has become ineffective in the past
months because of its getting bogged down with
a recent presidential order. The senate has, in a
rather undisciplined manner, attempted ato
resolve this problem and has not succeeded, and
the presidential order from the executive branch
was given without, to my knowlege, properly
contacting all individuals that were concerned.
It was done, in my opinion, in what appeared to
be a spur-of-the-moment decision and we believe
this is not right. We would haVe sat down with the'
members of the senate and those departmeuls
concerned for input. This lack of communication
between the executive and the senate has been
one of USG's biggest problerps this year.

COLLEGIAN: Should USG serve the students
by providing things like Date Match, Florida
trips and term break buses, or by dealing with
the administration and helping influence policy
decisions? Which is more important?
*PRITCHARD: Well as far as I'm concerned,
they are both very important. There are dif
ferent departments in USG which concentrate
specifically on each of these issues.As far as the
administration goes, influencing policies is very
important to students, although it is not always
openly seen. Some of the senators may be in
rested in one thing as far as administrative
policy goes while others may be interested in
student programs.
COLLEGIAN: What is the role of USG
president?
PRITCHARD: USG president does preside
over the whole student body. There are checks on
itn as well as he has checks on other branches of
•he government.A good deal of the president's
• time is used in working with the administration
, and the Board of Trustees, more on the policy
ideas than the programs or services. I think the
, president is used more as an instrument of the
, students, to stress the students' views with the
administration. •
;1• I feel it's also important for him to work with
• the departments so there is good communication
as far as how the students do feel, so when the
president or one of the departments go to local or

COLLEGIAN: What structure would you have
for handling money and how would you prevent it
from being spent without being approved?
PRITCHARD: It will be basically up to the
senate how our expenditure and financial system
will run.l would like us to remain as we are now,
spending what we feel is worthwhile for student
organizations and keeping prices at a minimum
as far as charging students to get into movies. If
we go for a profit-making organization a lot of
people say we'll have more money to give
students more services and programs, but at the
same time we'll be charging them more, which
isn't really helping them it's costing them in
the long run.
As far as putting checks on money being spent
without approval, we've already started working
with ASA and I feel we could work more with
them as far as the number of signatures that
would be required so that money could be spent.
COLLEGIAN: Do you have any special ideas,
proposals or programs that you would like to
implement?
PRITCHARD: Instead of concerning our
selves only with issues that have been brought up
year after year and often-times get nowhere, we
thought we would like to show the students
something that would show that we are an ef
fective student body.

We would like to start off when students
originally get here, when we could have such
things as slide shows and special workshops,
something a little entertaining but that would get
students interested in USG. As far as handing out
newsletters, they often get . thrown in the trash
like everything else.
Other ideas, such as the student trustee ap
pointment coming up we'd like to see the idea
of a committee working to discuss issues with the
student trustee. This would keep both the
students and the trustee more informed on how
each other feel and how the students would like
the trustee to vote.
I attended a workshop this past Saturday and
one of the speakers was from the Commonwealth
Association of Students. They gave us a lot of
ideas on how .to build a stronger lobbying
organization. Five years they were where our
PSASRU (Pennsylvania State Association of
State Related Universities) is today.. Working
with them, we could strengthen our lobbying
efforts in Harrisburg and at the same time this
would be supported by increased voter
registration.
We've also looked into some research that has
been done on the possibility of student advisory
boards. This would basically be a board of policy
and procedures. This proposal would have to go
through . the (State' College) borough council for
approval before any decision could be made.

'benefit students and gain their respect'
COLLEGIAN: What type of pay system do you
want to set up for USG?
PRITCHARD: Basically I would like to see
USG stay as it is, as a service organization in
stead of expanding into a profit-making
organization. If we are to stay the same I feel
that there should be no paid positions. Now if
we're going into more of a business aspect and
trying to generate revenues, that is a possibility
of pay.
The final decision would come from the senate.
But one thing that I feel should be made known is
the eligibility requirements for USG. Students
would not necessarily have to be in USG. But as
far as the pay itself goes I'd rather see a student
oriented organization with no paid positions.
COLLEGIAN: How can you improve USG's
credibility with the students and with the ad
ministration?
PRITCHARD: Instead of just working on the
present programs, we would like to implement
new programs such as the ones I have already
mentioned. These would generally benefit the
students and help USG to gain their respect.
Often-times people ask for more student input. I
feel that before we can gain their respect and ask
them for their input we are going to have to in
terest them first.
Instead of asking them for what they want,
let's just go ahead and do something for them,
something that will genuinely benefit them. At

the same time I think this would help to gain
credibility with the administration. If we have
the students behind us, the administration is
going to be more responsive to our needs. When
USG, which is supposed to be representing the
whole student body, has no contact or respect of
the students it's hard for the administration to
look at them as the representative body.
COLLEGIAN: What is USG's biggest
problem?
PRITCHARD: There are obviously many
inefficiencies in the student government. When
USG tries to iron out these inefficiencies by
reorganizing, it seems that more inefficiencies
occur and it hogs down the entire senate. If it
comes up that something does need to be
changed, there are many other ways to go about
it than having the whole senate and the executive
body working on this. We would like to stress the
idea of ad hoc committees for drawing up
proposals and recommendations that can be
brought of the senate.
Ad hoc committees will investigate all the
alternatives and viewpoints. As it stands now,
things are brought up before the senate and
everyone starts arguing them before they know
the facts. I think this goes back to USG gaining
credibility with the students. When it takes us
nearly a term to work on one single issue, we
accomplish nothing nothing else and this defeats
our whole purpose as a student government.
