*4—'The Daily Colli Washington needs new official, Mason says By JUSTIN CATANOSO Daily Collegian Staff Writer Douglas Mason does not think the real views of the people are being voiced by the elected representatives in Washington, D.C. He says Washington needs a new type of representative the kind the Consumer Party offers. “lam not running for office out of personal glory,” said the third party candidate for the 23rd District con gressional seat. “I’m running because the people of this district need a representative who understands and can respond to the underlying needs and wants of the people of central Pennsylvania. In campaign speeches and candidate forums, Mason stresses these needs in areas of equal rights for women, the phasing out of nuclear power to make room for solar energy expansion, increased funding to colleges and universities and military spending reductions.. Atigan preaches the Democratic philosophy By JUSTIN CATANOSO, Daily Collegian Staff Writer Peter Atigan, an ordained minister, has taken to preaching the word of the Democratic Party. As that party’s can didate for the 23rd District congressional seat, he says he has the persuasive power to be convincing. “If you want to get something done in government,” Atigan said, “you’ve got to project yourself and be forceful.

DERALD STUMP Chaplain The Episcopal Ministry at Penn State The University Chapel Service is an inter-faith service designed to present to the University a variety of faith perspectives. Speakers represent both, laity and clergy, and are drawn from University faculty and staff, the local community and, occasionally, from national and international forums. Music is provided by the Univer sity’s Chapel choir. A fellowship period follows each service. The University Chapel program is sponsored by the Office of Religious Affairs (A Divison of the Office of Student Affairs.). Oct. 31, 1980 ian Fridi An advocate of the Equal Rights Amendment, Mason said, if elected, he will propose to extend the ratification deadline indefinitely. “I think it is a black mark in the history of the United States that we cannot extend to women the equal rights they deserve and to which they are entitled to,” Mason said. He also said he would fight to appeal the Hyde Amendment, which denies federal funds to poor women seeking abortion except in the cases of rape, incest or if the mother’s life is in danger. “I feel the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the Hyde Amendment was dangerous and wrong,” Mason said. “Abortions will continue to be legal, but only to the In the area of energy, Mason points to the near disaster at Three Mile Island as a major reason to reconsider the further dependence on nuclear energy. have organized many groups (in the district) and am known as a leader. I have also been known to be forceful.” The Kane resident says he plans to use his force to unseat the incumbent, U.S. Rep. William F. Clinger, R-central Pa. “I know Bill Clinger. I like him and we get along good,” Atigan said, “but I want to make sure that he never gets to the point where he thinks his seat is his alone, and forever.” In a fire and brimstone style, Atigan says that nuclear power must be phased out and alternative energy sources developed, especially solar. “We may lose all our coal, our gas and our oil, but when we lose the sun, we’re done for anyway,” he said. “We should learn to depend upon the sun for all our energy resources.” Concerning education, Atigan is fond of quoting Franklin D.

Clinger, R-central Pa., for the seat from the 23rd Con gressional District. Photo by Stel Varlas As congressman, he said nuclear safety would be a top priority with him, and he would seek to gradually phase out nuclear power in favor of an alternative energy source. Mason said he sees that source in the sun, “Congress should make solar development and con servation tactics the cornerstone of our energy policy for the future,” he said. “Harnessing the free and everlasting energy from the sun is our only hope for becoming a truly energy independent nation.” Concerning aid to colleges and universities, Mason said it is the responsibility of the government to strengthen the education system by giving aid directly to the instituions, rather than deferring it through in dividual grants or loans. As a financial source for this increased aid to schools, Mason said the military budget could be slashed by 30 to 50 percent. everybody is entitled to a free education. He said he favors the federal govern ment increasing its basic grant allot ment so every student who wants a higher education can get one without worrying about money. Atigan said he does not favor cuts in the military budget because “we could fall flat on our face.” Instead, he said cuts should come from the welfare budget. Interesting people read Collegian ads. Congress must exert control, Clinger says By JUSTIN CATANOSO Daily Collegian Staff Writer U.S. Rep. William If. Clinger, R central Pa., said if he’s learned anything during his first term in Con gress it’s that the legislative body is characterized by a lack of discipline. “There are too many ‘mavericks’ running around loose,” Clinger said. “And when you have 435 mavericks, the result is nothing gets done. It’s time for some discipline in the House. It’s time for the parties to present platforms and say this is what we need to lead the country.” As a first term congressman, Cl inger has taken somewhat less than a leadership role. That action is reserv ed primarily for the House veterans. However, while in Washington, Cl inger has supported a variety of legislation that lend direction to military, social and educational policies. Clinger has repeatedly supported bills to increase defense spending. As a former member of the U.S. Navy, he said he has a special desire in in creasing the efficiency of naval sup plies and reserves. He said he opposed to a peace-time draft, but has supported bills to in crease military pay levels as an in centive to attract new recruits and re tain trained personel. In a problem that directly affects the state, Clinger voted in favor of welfare retorm legislation to bring more responsibility to the states.

He said he believes the increased aid to students is a sound investment in the future of the country. On the multi-based issue of energy sources and resources, Clinger has emphasized increases in the use of coal and supported tax incentives to ' 5 individuals to convert oil burning heating units to wood and coal burn ing units. With nuclear power providing 13 percent of the nation’s electricity, Cl inger said the use of that power supp ly must be maintained, adding, (V however, that he thinks solar energy is an important future resource. In a surprising stance, Clinger, whose 'family is involved in the oil business, voted in favor of the Wind falls Profits Tax levied on oil com panies last spring. ; The measure taxes excess profits by the companies in an attempt to redistribute the wealth and apply it to areas like transportation where the funds are desparately needed. ; 400 l.u.

Anderson f v " vBV UPlwirepholo Ronald Reagan Jimmy Carter U.S. Senator Inflation Pete Flaherty Arlen Specter Robert C. Brazil! Inflation ‘ f r* r i Reagan advocates elimination of fraudulent and wasteful spending in government programs along with balancing the budget by 1983. He op poses both mandatory and voluntary wage-price guidelines. Carter advocates restrained federal spending and the pursuit of a balanced budget. He supports cooperation between business and labor to hold down wages and prices and a cutback on American dependence on foreign oil. Flaherty favors a 5 percent income tax cut as a way to offset the increase in Social Security taxes scheduled for 1981. In conjunction with a tax cut, Flaherty favors ac celerated depreciation of capital investments to encourage industry to invest in new machinery. He also proposes regulatory and fair trade policies to boost coal and steel production. Specter favors a 10 percent per sonal income tax reduction as a way to spur productivity, investment and personal savings. Such a tax will also reduce unemployment by increasing national production. Specter also calls for an end to wasteful federal spending and overregulation of small businesses Photo by Rick Graft Democratic nominee Robert C. Brazill has said being a student has helped his understanding of problems concerning students and the rest of the University community. “The tuition increases that come all the time hit me as well as anyone else. I’m a student. I’ll continue to be a student and I’ll represent (students) better than anyone else,” Brazill said. While he supports a state constitu tional amendment to abolish the preferred and nonpreferred categories of state appropriations, he said in the short term the University can be fully funded through cuts elsewhere in the state budget, although he said he needs more infor mation before saying where the cuts can be made. Anderson supports restrained fiscal policies and tax incentives as inducements for labor and management to adhere to federally formulated wage-price guidelines. He is opposed to sharp tax cuts because he believes this would be in compatible with the goal of a balanced budget. Anderson thinks that once the budget is balanced, taxes should be indexed according to the inflation rate. State Representative - an overview of the campaign Employment Defense Anderson advocates changing the tax laws to encourage capital investment and stimulate produc tivity. He favors the formation of an industrial development ad ministration to provide loan guarantees for selected projects. He also calls for the expenditure of $2 billion per year on job training programs particularly to aid unemployed black teenagers. Reagan believes that a 10 percent personal income tax cut every year for three years will stimulate produc tivity and the growth of personal sav ings. That would be combined with a reduction in government spending to offset any inflationary effect. He also favors capital depreciation allowances to encourage industrial investment in new machinery. He op poses a public jobs program, but sup ports deregulation of industry and the repeal of the minimum wage law to create more jobs for unemployed inner-city residents. Carter believes that deregulation, more federal money for economic development and research grants, and job training programs are the answer to spurring productivity. He also favors a 40 percent increase in depreciation allowances for business and a tax cut next year if he deems it non-inflationary. Employment Abortion Flaherty calls for at least a $6 billion federal jobs program to rebuild transportation systems and other public works facilities. This would be implemented along with the establishment of enterprise zones severely depressed urban areas where businesses would be granted special tax breaks to build plants and hire unemployed residents. Revival of the private sector to create jobs could be accomplished through policies encouraging the moder nization of industrial facilities and worker training. Specter advocates a new tax policy that will encourage capital recovery in the private sector. This would be combined with a reduction in the number of existing federal business regulations that stifle productivity. He also supports greenlining iden tifying depressed urban areas and targeting a federal jobs program to areas unable to revive their private sector through business incentives. Michael G. Day * Anderson favors a 3 percent increase in defense expenditures adjusted for inflation. He opposes the MX but favors the Trident submarine and air launched cruise missiles. He believes that the United States should re-establish strong ties with our historic allies around the world. Reagan emphasizes a policy of peace through strength. This translates into large increases in the defense budget in order to build our military strength to the level where no other nation would dare to attack the United States. Reagan opposes SALT II but would begin negotiations with the Soviet Union on a new treaty. He supports deployment of the neutron bomb, the MX and an ad vanced bomber similar to B-l. Carter favors increasing the defense budget by 3 percent, adjusted for inflation, each year. He also sup ports funding the MX, the Trident submarine and the cruise missile. He defends the SALT II treaty that he negotiated with the Soviet Union as a necessary agreement to curb the arms race. Flaherty advocates laws protecting the unborn and opposes federal funding of abortions except 1 where the life of the mother is en dangered. Specter says he is personally oppos ed to abortion, but favors the con tinuation of Medicaid-funded abor tions for poor women in order to preserve equal access to safe abor tions for everyone. State College Attorney Michael G. Day says that one of his top legislative priorities is an amend ment to the state Constitution eliminating the distinction between preferred and nonpreferred appropriations. Such a measure would give the University and other nonpreferred appropriations equal funding priority with the state General Assembly, Day says. Day has accused incumbent Rep. Gregg L. Cunningham, R-Centre County, of not devoting enough time to the issue of funding the University because of Cunningham’s concern with anti-abortion legislation. Day is pro-choice. Energy Anderson believes that con servation is the key to a com prehensive energy policy. The goal of conservation would be served by enacting incentives to encourage industry to save energy and by shifting capital into energy-efficient projects. He backs the use of $BB billion in windfall profits revenue to develop new fuel sources. Anderson advocates closing nuclear power plants unless the problems of waste disposal and safety controls can be solved. Reagan supports the continued use of nuclear power. He opposes the im-, position of windfall profits taxes on the oil industry. Instead of govern ment taxation, Reagan favors en couraging the oil industry to develop energy alternatives on its own. Carter advocates a phaseout of price controls on oil and natural gas. Increased prices would discourage consumption and encourage domestic production, he says. He supports windfall profits taxes as a logical way to fund an $BB billion synthetic fuel development program. Carter sup ports the use of nuclear energy but believes it will be phased out in the future. Energy Flaherty believes that the accident at Three Mile Island plant demonstrates the dangers attached to nuclear power. He favors the shut down of plants that do not meet the new safety standards outlined in the Kemeny report and opposes the construction of any new nuclear power plants. Specter does not support the shut down of existing nuclear power plants, nor does he oppose building new plants in the future. He does favor placing nuclear plants in low population areas whenever possible, reorganizing the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and imposing stricter safety controls. These controls should take the form of increased training for plant operators, more research in to the effects of radiation and str ingent criminal and civil penalties for negligent plant operation. Gregg L. Cunningham The Daily Collegian Friday, Oct. 31, 1980—25 Environment Anderson advocates stricter federal regulations to combat in dustrial pollution. He supports the Alaska preservation bill and a federal fund to deal with the damages created by oil spills. He also favors the establishment of a national water conservation program and legislation to clean up chemical dumps around the country. Reagan advocates relaxing en vironmental standards to spur in dustrial growth. He also favors allow ing companies to comply with laws in the most cost-effective way possible. Carter supports strict adherence to enviromental standards for clean air and water and will not sacrifice those standards for the sake of economic development. He favors new legisla tion to clean up chemical dumps and protect wilderness lands in Alaska. Carter also believes that a national land management policy should be developed in the future. Environment Flaherty supports greater flexibility of environmental stan dards to expand the production and use of coal. Industry should be allowed to write-off costs of pollution equipment to preserve en vironmental standards. Specter does not believe that en vironmental standards have to be sacrificed in order to expand the use of coal. He advocates a one-year capital depreciation of pollution con trol equipment to provide sufficient capital to fund the switch to coal based fuel without creating pollution. Rep. Gregg L. Cunningham says his record in obtaining funding for the University speaks for itself. “We have bettered (his predecessor’s record) enormously,” he said, referring to the University’s basic appropriation and additional funding for capital projects. The additional funding includes $BOO,OOO for changes in University, facilities to accommodate the han dicapped, $8.5 million for alterations to the West Campus Power Plant and sa.s million for new sewage treat ment facilities. Cunningham has not taken a posi tion on amending the state Constitu tion to abolish the difference between preferred and nonpreferred ap propriations, saying he will follow University administrator’s position on such an amendment.
