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

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. I

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

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

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. Roosevelt:

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.

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.

“The federal government is so big,
it’s often hard to get things moving’”
Clinger said. “If we move the welfare
program to the states, the states can
be more responsive to the needs the
recipients since (the states) are
closer to the problem.”
In legislation recently passed by
Congress, Clinger voted to authorize
$4B billion in financial aid for students
over the next five years through basic
grants and loans. 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. ;

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

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.
