• B—The Daily Collegian Monday, July 7, 1980 11 abor union accuses disco of racial discrimination By ELYSE CHILAND Daily Collegian Staff Writer Racial discrimination was cited as the reason about 60 members of the Communication Workers of America labor union recently staged an impromptu protest rally in front of a popular State College night spot. Both the manager and co-owner of the establishment denied the charge. "I'll tell you right off that that's real far fetched," said Liz Pierce,•manager of Mr. C's discotheque, 112 W. College Ave. "We do not discriminate. On an average night, we have a clientele which is 25 to 35 percent black. . . . Our clientele is very diverse; we get Iranians, Ar menians, Orientals, blacks, homosexuals, heterosexuals... " The rally, which featured a rousing chorus of the song "Solidarity Forever" and the chant "Down with C's, " began after a black woman member of the union, whose members were at the University last week for a conference that ended Thursday, was not admitted to Mr. C's Wednesday night. The woman was denied ad mission because she arrived with four other Program By SUSAN RICCI Daily Collegian Staff Writer Did you ever imagine yourself going to school in a foreign country .and not knowing its language or culture? Twenty foreign students are experiencing "culture American style" through the University's Intensive English Program The program began last summer and is jointly run by the Speech Com munications Department and Con tinuing Education. Although partially funded by the University, the program is not a part of the curriculum and gives no academic credit. Therefore, it is open to anyone who wishes to learn English and communicate in American society. According to Sue Jenkins, director of the program, the primary emphasis for the student is to work with language skills and the cultural aspects of English: speaking, listening, reading and writing "We don't try to teach them to speak like Americans," she said, "We try to make them intelligble. In order to help them fit into the system, reading and writing skills are necessary." The program is designed to help students increase their communicative abilities as efficiently as possible. Yet, it differs from most English programs because the instructors by necessity start from scratch; their students know virtually nothing about America or its language. In order for the program to work, students must learn English grammar structure; vocabulary and non-verbal language. The Intensive English students come from a variety of cultures, but most are citizens from Venezuela. These students attend classes in the Human Develop ment East building, Monday through Friday, five hours a day for eight weeks. At the end of one 8-week term, a student who had no prior knowledge of English can basically function in everyday American society, Jenkins said. Yet, it could take nine months to a year for that student to be able to attend classes and speak, write, and read ef fectively One Venezualean student, Hector Ortiz, said the program was very beneficial. "I think it has helped very Ambulance: Effective July 1, 1980, a fee of $2O per trip will be instituted for the use of the University Ambulance. women who "came down here with improper I.D.s, acting loud and boisterous," said Chris Papas, co-owner of the night club, as the rally ended. However, Lorraine Thomas, the woman denied admission, said "I think it's because I'm sort of dark-skinned." "I can't imagine anything these women could have possibly done to provoke being turned away," said Donald Kennedy, conference co ordinator and an instructor for the department of Labor Studies. Kennedy said the women are from the Washington, D.C.-Maryland area. The five women, who are between the ages of 29 and 50 years old, arrived at Mr. C's at about 11:15 p.m. and were asked for identification, Kennedy said. Four of the women provided both a driver's license and a Bell Telephone employee identification card, which includes a photograph of the worker as well as the worker's birthdate, he said. Thomas, who does not drive, also showed the doorman her Bell employee card, he said. "But he (the doorman) said she had to have a challenging, successful Crash course conveys , culture much because when I came from Venezuela I knew nothing at all," he said. "Now I can understand." He also said that after the English program was over his main goal was to study political science at the Univer sity. Another student, Manuel Llinas, said he thought the English language was very difficult to learn, especially for conversation.

The overall success of the program has been very good. "The results of the Intensive English Program have been statistically very positive and so far we have had a good response from the students," Jenkins said. driver's license," Barbara Lee, one of the five women, said. The employee card was not a sufficient piece of identification because it is "not recognized as legal proof of age by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board," Pierce said. She said the law requires both a phOto I.D. and a state- issued form of identification for admittance to Mr. C's.
