    Editorial opinion
Is a University administrator a public
official? Is the University part of the
"Commonwealth of Pennsylvania"
because it receives $127 million in state
funds each year?
Or is it, for reasons of academic
freedom and administrative integrity,
completely independent of control by
bureaucrats in Harrisburg?
These were some of the legal hairs
split recently when the state Ethics
Commission ruled, at University
lawyers' request, to exclude the
University from state ethics legislation.
If the University was included under
the law, administrators with power to
make important financial decisions
would have to file financial disclosure
forms, which reveal sources of income
more than $5OO, but not the actual
amounts.
Under the legislation, if a University
official in charge of buying beds is on the
payroll of a bed manufacturer, the
public would know about this potential
conflict of interest and maybe that
administrator would be transferred to,
say, buying sinks.
However, University administrators
TV rates tops in class
By DAVID MEDZERIAN
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
Being new to the College of Business
Administration, and not knowing
anything about the courses I had
somehow ended up with this term, I was
surprised to walk into my Accounting 101
class and find, instead of an
authoritative looking teacher, a 21-inch
portable. Yes, I was about to experience
my first class-by-television (Commonly
called "Videoclass").
As the proctor passed out our TV
Guides (instead of a syllabus), she ex
plained that the University has
researched the effectiveness of
videoclasses.
"Eighty-five percent of students
surveyed preferred a small videoclais‘
a.class in ,the Forum," she told us
'-t Ninety-five percent -of
students in videoclasses scored the same
on tests as those students in a class of
30," she continued. "And four out of five
dentists surveyed recommend sugarless
gum for their patients who chew gum!"
"Besides," she continued, "the
University makes a fortune from
commercials during the show. Did you
know that in last week's Nielsen ratings,
`Accounting 101' was third, behind only
'GO Minutes' and 'Laverne and
Shirley' ?"
"you mean it beat 'Three's Com
pany' ?" someone asked.
"That's right," the proctor said.
"Hey, 'Wonder Woman' is on Channel
48," someone yelled from the back of the
room.
"You dummy, we don't get Channel
48," the blonde in the front row replied.
"Besides, I wanted to watch
`Donahue.' "
"But 'Carol Burnett' is on now!"
"Who wants to watch 'Carol Burnett'
when 'Wonder Woman' is on?"
"But Carol Burnett does her salute to
'Gone with the Wind' !"
"What about 'Donahue'? "
Abortion bill
Anyone who thinks. Supreme Court decisions are distant,
vague speCtres having little real effect on Americans' daily
lives should consult Rep. Gregg L. Cunningham, R-Centre
County, to learn the tragedy of this assumption.
Well, perhaps citizens of Centre County won't think twice
about his latest proposal to deny state welfare funds for
abortions to women whose lives are not endangered by
pregnancy. '
And maybe that is the real tragedy, for the effects of the
legislation which Cunningham has introduced will be far
reaching. They will reach into the poor sections of Harrisburg,
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allentown, Reading . . . and vir
tuallly any metropolitan area where kids must grow up fast
and tough, where pregnancies among 10-, 12-, and 14-year-old
girls are not uncommon, or slipped under the rug of middle
class mores and dollars.
Present Pennsylvania law, passed in 1978, limits Medicaid
funding for abortions to cases in which pregnancy endangers
the mother's life or is caused by rape or incest. But the law was
stricken from the state books when the Third U.S. Circuit
Court orAppeals ruled it unconstitutional.
Bolstered by the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision af
firming the constitutionality of similar federal legislation,
Cunningham introduced a bill limiting the original state law
still further to allow Medicaid funding for abortions of only
those pregnancies which endanger the mother's life.
He defends his proposal as legislation that will "spare the
children of the poor by refusing to fund their slaughter."
And by his own admission, this legislation discriminates.
"My bill is discriminatory against the children of the rich
whose slaughter will continue unabated," he points out.
The logic is convoluted. Cunningham recognizes that the bill
Disclosure policy would prevent conflicts of interest without hurting academic
"QUIET," yelled the proctor. "We're
going to watch Accounting 101." .
."That's not listed in my TV Guide,"
said the blonde.
"What channel is it on?" asked the
Carol Burnett fan.
"SHHHH," the proctor said. "The
show's starting."
The orchestra struck up a lively tune,
and the announcer began. "Live, from
State College,. It's 'ACCOUNTING 101'!"
The audience cheered, but the class
remained silent.
"And here's your host and the star of
our show, YOUR PROFESSOR! "
The professor came on stage, and the
studio audience cheered louder than
ever. My undaunted classmates,
however, remained silent.
*The blonde broke the silence. "Miss
Proctor, could we please Watch
something else?"
"Well, Tom and Jerry' is on Channel
10," the proctor said.
An overly studious freshman spoke up.
"But how are we supposed to learn our
accounting if we don't watch the show?"
We glanced on screen and saw that our
professor, now finished with his
monologue, had begun chatting amiably
with Ed McMahon.
"So, Ed," he said, "how are your
accounts receivable?"
"Fine," Ed replied. "But you should
see my accounts payable!"
The studio audience roared
"Please, please," the blonde begged.
" 'Mr. Ed' is on Channel 4." We were
getting desperate.
The proctor finally agreed
"Besides," she said, "today's show is
really bad."
Someone in the back objected. "Wait
until Rita Moreno finishes her song," he
said.
And I thought classes in the Forum
were rough.
apparantly didn't think it a good idea to
abide by the legislation, and sent the
University's attorney, Delbert J.
McQuaide, to Harrisburg to argue their
case before the commission.
But why? The administration and the
law firm will not discuss their reasons
for requesting the University's ex
clusion, refusing comment on the matter
until they receive a written copy of the
ruling. At this point, their motives are
subject to speculation.
Does the application of state ethics
legislation to a state-related university
threaten the University's independent
rejects basic rights for poor women
will not stop abortions altogether but fails to realize that it
hangs yet another price tag on free choice in a society in which
dollars already dictate democratic principles.
Cunningham was correct about the discriminatory nature of
his legislation .. . but neither he nor any of his constituents
tucked snugly in Happy Valley can fully grasp the import of
that discrimination. For the indigent, whom Medicaid
legislation was designed to protect, these funds allow safe,
sanitary abortions in governmentally controlled facilities.

'RIGHTS a FETUS
Once the state yanks this funding, poor women will be forced
to either carry their pregnancies to term or seek less adequate
abortion services with whatever money they do have.
In either case, the state would be legislating its personal
brand of morality, its own definition of life . . . of which there
are many. Despite the fervor with which Cunningham
describes his mission to spare the slaughter of unborn
children, no one not the courts, nor legislatures, nor medical
practitioners has determined when life actually begins.
Is the fetus an individual from conception or is there some
time in its nine-month development when it becomes a person?
Isn't there a time when the fetus is considered a part of the
mother and thereby subject to her discretion? Many contend
so, but no interpretation prevails thus far.

On Sept. 3, NBC. aired a White Paper on Cuba and the
Caribbean, and in the space of one and one-half hours of
prime -time TV managed to convey more half truths,
gross distortions and blatant lies than could possibly be
corrected in one letter to the editor.
The program zeroed in on Castro, portraying him as a
revolutionary hero with a "near psychotic ego" who
exercises a mysterious power (by insinuation) over the
gullible masses of Cuba, and who is exploiting the
volatile situation in Central America to his own ends.
It cannot be denied that the situation in Central
America is explosive; neither can it be denied that
Castro's own idealogical position commits him to
working towards revolution in other countries than his
own. But to focus attention on Castro as the ultimate

status? This is perhaps the most
legitimate complaint University ad
ministrators might have. Perhaps
complying with the law would set a
weak precedent, encouraging future
state intervention in the University's
internal workings.
However, the issue of ethics itself has
nothing to do with decisions of academic
policy, nor does it interfere with the
right of University officials 'to make
financial and practical decisions.
Rather, the question is simply whether
or not to cooperate with a law designed
to promote openness and honesty in

threat to American security while barely mentioning
the complex causes of suffering of the Central
American peoples is to commit a crime against the
truth.
And to ignore our own country's direct participation
in that suffering (often in the name of freedom and
democracy) compounds the crime.
Why didn't NBC mention the ClA's involvement in the
downfall of Arbenz's • democratically elected govern
ment in Guatemala in 1954 (a government im
plementing reforms which could have conceivably
prevented the situation that prevails today)?
Why is NBC so concerned with the postponment of
free elections in Nicaragua now? Did they shed tears
for the Nicaraguans, who fore years were bled dry by
the Samoza regime.(a regims y we helpedsinstall)•?

By contrast, the mother is uncontestably a person, entitled
to all the rights and safeguards guaranteed by the Con
stitution. To allow the questionable rights of tho fetus to ride
roughshod over the mother's rights, which our democratic
system emphatically pledges to protect, seems both in
consistent and illogical.
Specifically protected in the Constitution is the freedomof
choice, traditionally broadened by the courts to include the
right to privacy. Certainly that privacy privilege must include
•
•
such an intimate decision as whether to terminate a
pregnancy. At least that is what the Supreme Court has told us
on more than one occasion.
For example, in deciding the case of Eisenstadt vs. Baird
(1977), concerning abortionlegislation, the court concluded:
"If the right of privacy means anything at all it is the right of
the individual, married or single, to be free from unwarranted
intrusion into matters so fundamentally affecting a person as
whether or not to beget or bear a child."
And in Roe vs. Wade (1969) the court decided similarly:
"This right to privacy, whether it be found in the 14th
Amendment concept of personal liberty or the 9th Amendment
reservation of rights to the people, is broad enough to en
compass a woman's decision whether or not to terminate her
public institutions. If educators cannot
be expected to be candid, who can?
Paul Smith, chairman of the Ethics
Commission, pointed out that the
University could choose, as some state
institutions have, to voluntarily abide by
the ethics law even though not required
to. This would not compromise the
University's independent status, and
might boost Penn State's image among
legislators who will be voting on ap
propriations for education.
Perhaps the forms area lot of trouble
to fill out? Sandy Christiansen, general
counsel to the the commission, said the

military advisors in El Salvador now, and that
organizations such as Amnesty International have
requested our state department to reconsider proposed
assistance "intended to improve the operational
capabilities of the Salvadorian security system" which,,
will very likely "contribute to worsen the human rights
situation in that country?"
Reports such as NBC's White Paper simply fuel the
fear of leftist governments that lead us to support the
worse kind of right wing dictatorships instead of ex
posing the bloody by-products of American foreign
policy.
One letter cannot correct NBC's failure to present an
accurate portrayal of the situation in Central America,

pregnancy."
Cunningham and proponents of his proposal would, I . :
course, argue that the legislation would not outlaw abortio ,
entirely, but merely limit the use of tax dollars for suer
operations. But that is exactly what is most unfair about the
legislation.
If a group of legislators could push legislation through which:
would outlaw abortion entirely, then we could assume they:
were acting by mandate of a majority of the population a;:
large who had decided that abortion was •so rnorall3
reprehensible that no one should be allowed to terminate he t ;
pregnancy.
Granted, this proposal comes from a legislator representing
a fairly affluent community which elected him on a strong
anti-abortion platform. However, what he proposes will havr, ;
little or no effect on the people he represents, except to giv
them the satisfaction of imposing their dogmatic ideology o
an entirely different group of constituents, a group with a l ;
less political clout to make its voice heard in Harrisburg.
Of course, some could also argue that Medicaid recipient
would still have private abortion facilities available to then
just like everybody else. Or could they? These people art
receiving aid for a damn good reason . . . the money just isn':
there, so neither is the opportunity.
The Supreme Court also pointed this out in Maher vs. Roe
an abortion case decided in 1976: "For a doctor who cannot:
afford to work for nothing and a woman who cannot afford to.
pay him, state refusal to fund an abortion is as effective an
interdiction of right as would be necessary to foreclose the:
option entirely."
How many rights are already foreclosed to these people!
because of financial 'and social limitations? And how many',
more can we foreclose to them while still calling our systeN:
equal? Cynics among us would say that no society is truly:
equal. Agreed. But when the hingepin of equality under the law?
becomes the dollar, our system goes pretty far afield from the;
highly-lauded principles outlined in the Constitution.
Passage of the legislation which Cunningham proposes;
would be an abortion of a different kind, an abortion of basic',
rights which the Constitution guarantees to all, regardless of;
financial status.

forms are only a page long and require
no legal expertise.
Smith said he has heard the complaint
that ethics legislation for the University
threatens academic
objection is irrelevant, Smith said,
- because the law automatically excludes
all teaching personnel
Perhaps, rega i rdless of the issues
involved, University officials simply
don't want to disclose their financial
sources for fear of embarrassment or
worse. Who knows whether ad
ministrators might be moonlighting for
other companies, receiving generous
fees for expertise and influence?
Taxpayers cannot do much but
speculate on this possibility, but
speculate they will unless University
officials prove them wrong.
In this era of tight budgets and
dwindling appropriations for the
University, the last thing Penn State
needs is for taxpayers and legislators to
lose confidence in the officials who
spend their money.
Legal finagling aside, for this
university there is no reason why
education and ethics cannot mix.

arter, Reagan trade long distance insults
United Press International
President Carter and Ronald Reagan traded insults
yesterday each accusing the other of bending the truth
about the energy shortage.
Reagan was first, promising in a speech in Cleveland
to free the United States from OPEC oil domination
and charging Carter with misleading' the public by
claiming there is an acute shortage of energy
resources, while "the truth is America has an abun
dance of energy."
"When Mr. Carter says we don't have enough energy
at home, what he really means is his policies won't let
Americans find and produce the energy they need,"
Reagan said.
Carter, in the White House, accused his Republican
foe of making false allegations and demanded "one
shred of evidence" that administration policies have
discouraged discovery and production of energy in
America.
"Goyernor Reagan is wrong," Carter said in a
statement in the Oval Office. "Again he has made
accusations without checking the facts."
"I do not intend to let my Republican opponent
misrepresent facts about this administration," he
declared.

Reagan said, "President Carter called for the moral
equivalent of war and created the' Department of
Energy which is the bureaucratic equivalent of
surrender."
He said conservation is necessary, but "any
president can reduce our energy use if, like Jimmy
Carter, he deliberately puts 2 million people out of
work."
Carter, who announced that Deputy Energy
Secretary John Sawhill has been named chairman of
the new Synthethic Fuel Corp., went on:
"It's ironic that on a day like this we have to respond
to false.allegations made by the Republican nominee
for president, Mr. Reagan."
"Let me tell you the truth," he said to reporters,
citing an all-time high for coal production, increased
crude' oil production for only the second time in a
decade and predictions of another record yield next
year.
This form of long-distance presidential debate ap
parently will have to substitute for the staged con

White House has 7 days
to provide Billy-Libya files
WASHINGTON (UPI) The House
demanded yesterday that the White
House provide within seven days all
documents and records it has on Billy
Carter's relationship to Libya.
Rep. Peter Rodino, D-N.J., chairman
of the House Judiciary Committee,
argued against the move, saying reams
of material already have been submitted
to th Senate.
"Not more than a dozen members took
the opportunity to review these
materials that had been so sought af
ter," he said.
But Republicans nevertheless pushed
for a resolution demanding the material,
and after Democrats failed on a 260-
124 vote to kill the measure, it was
approved by voice vote.

The league always uses an empty chair to symbolize
someone who has been invited to participate and has
refused, explained President Ruth Hinerfeld.
Anderson, in Los Angeles, dodged several op
portunities to criticize Carter personally fui refusing to
debate Sept. 21. He blamed Carter's aides for scuttling
the plans. Carter's rejection sets up a Reagan-
Anderson confrontation.
"I want to leave it to others to assess his motives. I
don't have any difficulty assessing Mr. (Robert)
Strauss' motives," he said, referring to the president's
campaign manager.
Asked why he believes Carters' aides not the
president—made the decision, Anderson said:
"There is perhaps a higher obligation and heavier
responsibilty on the man who has had the steward
ship . . . of our national affairs for four years to render
an accounting, than there is on any of, the other can
didates involved. . ,
"That's why I find it difficult to think the president
would make that decision, but is relying on the advice
of campaign managers who are looking at this as a
purely political thing."

Bayh said.
Lance has said he knew little about
Billy Carter's dealings with Libya, and
had no dealings with the White House on
the subject.
In the Senate, a special judiciary
subcommittee continued hearings into
the Billy-Libyan connections. The panel
heard yesterday from Lloyd Cutler, the
president's White House lawyer.
Cutler testifed he had forgotten to
inform the panel previously of a con
versation he had with the president July
8 or 9 about the Billy affair. Cutler said
in that talk, he informed Carter his
brother had finally agreed to register as
a foreign agent for Libya.
