Headline writing may not be easy, but
Last Spring Term the Collegian ran a headline that read,
“Ugandan troops raid Hungary.”
Of course, the Ugandans never invaded Hungary. The
story was about hungry Ugandan troops’ who raided the
countryside looking for food. We took some ridicule for that
error. In fact, the headline was cited in New Yorker
magazine earlier this term.
But we are not the only ones to mess up headlines.
The following is a collection of headlines included in a
book by Gloria Cooper called “Squad Helps Dog Bite
Victim.”
“Milk drinkers turn to powder”
‘ ‘Juvenile court to try shooting defendant”
“Solar system expected to be back in operation”
“Albany turns to garbage”
“Dead expected to rise”
“Survivor of Siamese twins joins parents”

Early trick comes
from cider treats
Halloween came a little early for
Dana Austin (lOth-psychology).
Actually, treat or treat came last
weekend in Virginia, where Austin was
visiting
On her trip, Austin bought two gallons
of hand-pressed apple cider.
“The man who sold it to me said it
would only cost $1.75 instead of $2,
because he didn’t pay for the containers
to begin with,” Austin said.
Austin was drinking from one of the
containers Monday night when her room
mate asked her if she knew what she was
drinking out of.
That’s when Austin found out what
kind of containers she was drinking out
of.
The label of the pseudo-apple cider
container read “hemodialysis concen
trate. Color may vary from light yellow
to amber.”
But wait. Doesn’t apple cider vary in
color from light yellow to amber?
“You think you’re drinking blood,”
Austin said. “Then I started to grow
fangs, but it tastes like cider to me.”

Does that sound familiar? In Edition
has been searching the campus this term
for funny things. The search is coming
along slowly.
There may be many reasons for this:
l.ln Edition is blind and can’t see past
the doors of Carnegie Building.
2. This University does not believe in

Election '80:
Majority of surveyed students favor Reagan-Bush
By ROSA EBERLY
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
Fifty percent of the 30 students questioned in
an unscientific survey taken last week by The
Daily Collegian chose Republican candidate
Ronald Reagan over Democrat Jimmy Carter
and independent John B. Anderson.
The survey was conducted among a small
cross section of University students concerning
their preference in the Nov. 4 presidential
election.
When asked to give their choice for the next
president, 25 percent chose Carter, 25 percent
chose Anderson and 50 percent chose Reagan.
Carter and Anderson backers used campaign
issues to decide which candidate to endorse,
while some Reagan advocates chose Reagan
through the process of elimination.
“My decision to vote for Ronald Reagan cer
tainly wasn’t for his stand on the Equal Rights
Amendment, ”a fourth term female student said.
After eliminating Anderson and Carter
because of disagreements with their views, she
was left with Reagan, she said.
“I don’t think Carter is doing such a red-hot
job,” she said.
Anderson’s supporters are less concerned with
voting for the winner than they are with voting
for what they believe in.
An education major said she would vote for
Anderson “because I believe in him I think it’s

Campaign funds vary among candidates
By JUSTIN CATANOSO
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
The amount of campaign funds raised
by candidates for the 77th District state
legislative seat varies almost as greatly
as their stands on the issues.
With the campaign winding down to its
final hours, Rep. Gregg L. Cunningham,
R-Centre County, said his campaign
committee has raised and spent about
$B,OOO in its efforts to promote his re
election.
That is a paltry sum compared to the
$lB,OOO Cunningham said he raised and
spent two years ago to unseat the
Democratic incumbent Helen Wise.
However, in comparison to his current
opponents, Cunningham’s campaign cof
fers clearly exceed the cash reserves of
both Robert and, Michael G.
Day combined’
Brazill, the Democratic candidate,
said he will spend no more than $lOO on
his campaign efforts.
Amidst rising controversy
Brazill’s eligibility status,
Democratic committees withdrew
support of his candidacy, cutting
basic source of funds.
Brazill said he hopes the state
Democratic Committee will supply some
money, but he could not say when or how

important to vote for who you believe in and not
who you think is going to win.”
Some Reagan backers said they feel their can
didate has an important stand on the issues,
especially in the area of national image and
defense.
“He won’t let us get stepped on like we have
been getting stepped on,” one male student said.
Advocates of Carter stress consistency and ex
perience as reasons for their decision to vote for
the incumbent president.
“Things aren’t going too good in America, but
at least Carter knows what to do,” an eighth
term male student said.

Day, the independent candidate who
entered the race after the primaries,
said he has been able to raise about

reluctance to support an independent
candidate.

private citizens. He said he has received

quarters said they feel their candidate has cer
tain opinions which will lure student votes.
“There are a lot of students who support
Carter here,” Steve Reeves, chairman of
Students for Anderson, said.
Reeves said Anderson’s stands on nuclear
power, youth unemployment, and ecomonic pro
posals are the main areas which will cause
students to vote for Anderson.
“Right now John Anderson opposes building
additional nuclear power plants,” Reeves said.
Anderson also advocates the Youth Act of 1980

the training of unemployed teenagers and waive

no money from organizations or political
action groups.
To offset their lack of financial
resources, Brazill and Day have been
campaigning heavily door to door.
“Financially, there’s'no way I can
compete against Cunningham,” Brazill
said. “So what I’ve had to do is personal
ly make people aware of who I am and
that I am a viable choice. I’ve had some
good responses campaigning. People
have been really nice to me.
“Besides, you can’t buy an election,”
he added. “If you don’t have the money,
you have to hit the streets'. Word gets
around.”
Day also has hit the streets and said he
has met with his share of positive reac
tions to his campaign.
“Some people who, for example* are
anti-abortion, don’t mix words and tell
you right off they’re supporting Cunn
ingham,” Day said. “But I’ve gotten
some surprisingly good responses in
traditionally Republican neighborhoods
like College Heights and Patton
Township where people are expressing
concern over Cunningham’s abortion
stand.”
Despite his overwhelming financial
edge in the campaign and his ability to
put forth an extensive media campaign,
E»«rgn«n Rd.
An increase in the number of students who sup
port Anderson “will have a lot to do with the
(Carter-Reagan) debates,” he said.
Beth Price, president of Young College
Democrats, said students will support Carter,
“because they want a future.
“A lot of students don’t bother to look into who
they’re voting for,” Price said.“l just wish
students would take two hours of their time and
sit down and read the platforms,” she said. "But.
that will never happen.”
Price predicted many students will see the im
portance of voting for a Democratic president.
“Every four years Republicans begin talking
like Democrats, and it wins them votes,” she
said.
Price said Carter can run on his 3‘/2-year
presidential record. “It takes 3 V-i years to learn
what the hell you’re doing in the first place,” she
said.
Bob Orzechowski, campaign worker for Liber
tarian Party presidential candidate Ed Clark,
said there are four reasons why students should
support Clark and the Libertarians.
Clark advocates elimination of draft registra
tion, drinking age restrictions, penalties for non
violent victimless crimes and protectionist
tariffs on imported goods.
Although few studentsvocally support Clark
and the Libertarian party, thereare quite a few
“latent Libertarians” in and around the Univer-
>y Della Hoke
Cunningham said, “I dare say I’ve
knocked on more doors than (Brazill and
Day) put together.”
Cunningham said the result has been a
very high level of recognition and
general support of his first two years in
office.
The incumbent said he has raised the
majority of his funds through private
donations. Although the Republican Par
ty contributed $6OO to his campaign, he
said he has “literally turned away
thousands of dollars from a wide range
of political action groups.”
Cunningham said he has turned the
money away because “I don’t think
that’s the preferred way to run a state
House - race. I like to fund my campaign
through private contributions to the ex
tent that I can do that.” ; ; •
Last autumn, Cunningham held a
$25-per-plate fundraising dinner which"
attracted 250 people. And to insure his
campaign of an immediate cash flow,
Cunningham said he loaned his cam
paign committee $5,000 which it is now
paying back.
Although Brazill has been unable to af
ford political advertising, Day said he.
has concentrated on reaching voters via
radio spots, as opposed to limited
newspaper advertising.
Voting precincts for
State College listed
By PHILIP GUTIS
and VICKI FONG
Daily Collegian Staff Writers
West Halls students will now vote in a
different precinct because of the recent
split of the West Central voting precinct
in State College.
The County Commissioners proposed
the split division when they discovered
that the West Central district has 1,900
registered voters, with a recommended
limit of 600 to 800 registered voters, said
Vicki L. Bumbarger, county chief clerk.
Voters in the previous West Central
district who live north of College Avenue
(on campus) will now vote in Dining
Room C in Waring Hall.
For students residing in Stone Hall,
Stuart Hall, Hastings Hall and Snyder
Hall, the Undergraduate Student
Government Department of Political Af
fairs will provide a taxi service to the
College Township Municipal Building.
Students interested in the free service
should meet the USG representative at
the Findlay Dining Hall post office every
hour on the hour from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Other students and State College
residents should vote according to the
district boundaries on the adjoining
map.
Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on
Tuesday.
State College and University Park
voters should vote in the following poll
ing places:
• North social room, Church of
Christ, 405 Hillcrest Ave.
• Northeast College Heights School,
North Atherton Street.
• Northwest YMCA, 412 W. College

sity, Orzechowski said.
Tom Ortenburg, co-chairman of the State Col
lege Consumer Party, said “if students are con
cerned about their future, they have no other
vote (than the Consumer Party ticket).”
“We’re just laying the groundwork right now
for a future party,” Ortenburg said. The Con
sumer party is supporting Citizen’s Party
presidential cadidate Barry Commoner in the
election.
“We’re not going to win any of our races the
first time out, but by the end of the decade we
will be a major political party,” Ortenburg said.
The Consumer party believes in “economic
democracy,” Ortenburg. said, “where the
workers and consumers make more decisions.”
Jim Delong, chairman of the campus cam
paign for Reagan-Bush, said Reagan’s strength
lies in his economic proposals.
“The Republican party wants to make a bigger
pie, while the other parties only want to change
how the slices are made,” he said. ®
Students will support Reagan, DeLong said,
because of his opposition to a peacetime draft
and because of his running mate, George Bush.
“George Bush tends to moderate the
(Republican) ticket,” DeLong said, because he
is an economic conservative, yet a social
moderate.
“There’s a lot of faith in George Bush,”
DeLong said.
“I’ve been advised that radio advertis
ing is more effective than newspaper
advertising,” Day said. “People tend to
pass over campaign ads and not read
them. But if you’ve got the radio on,
you’re going to listen. Besides, it’s easier
to target selective listeners by the type
of radio station you advertise.”
Cunningham said ' his newspaper
advertising which stresses his record
and legislative highlights is an attempt
to reach the student voters since Univer
sity policy prohibits canvassing in the
dormitories.
“I think it’s absolutely disasterous
that the dorms are closed,” Cunningham
said. “I think voter apathy on campus is
in large measure a function of the ex-:
treme difficulty in candidates gaining
access to the students.”-
All three candidates agreed that the
recent deluge of debates and public
forums have helped the campaigns
because of increased direct contact with
the voters and exposure through press
coverage.
‘•‘People lend much more credence to
newspaper articles than they do to
newspaper ads,” Day said. “The
debates have helped us focus on the
issues and let the.voters know where we
stand.”
