the daily collegian editorial opinion Only catch A Pennsylvania Superior Court ruling, which could be come state law, might dis gruntle some criminals but should make the job of Uni versity Police Services much easier. In January the Superior Court overruled a Centre County Court decision that had for .18 months prohibited campus police from pursuing suspects off campus. , Unless the ruling is read too broadly and abused by campus authorities, it gives campus police no new pow ers; rather, it just dispenses with red tape and unneces sary bureaucracy. According to the Superior Court, police may not patrol off campus, but if a crime has been committed on Uni versity property, the police may chase the suspect if he or she goes off campus.

"Education" in its Latin roots means "to lead out." An educator's job .is to lead people out of their childhood subservience to cultural authori ty.

This "trash," which amounts to hundreds of dogs and cats each year, is surreptitious ly dropped off by vacation-bound stu dents in suburbs, on farms and in county woods. This annual ritual is made public by a spate of letters to the local papers de ploring the attitudes of the pet-abandon ers iri particular and the thoughtlessness of Penn State students in general which, unfortunately, those responsible, long since gone, cannot read. Privately, among residents, harsher things are said. The fact is, given that students here are being educated to take positions of responsibility and leadership when they graduate, the routine dumping of unwanted pets is a University scandal. Most students consider themselves ani mal lovers and are genuinely shocked to learn the extent of the problem. Unfortu nately, it has received little publicity, and consequently, year after year, stu dents continue to dump animals and humane residents continue to dispose of them as best they can. Almost every animal lover in town has his own aban doned-pet story. There is the one about the woman who threw a bassett hound out of a car traveling through Boalsburg on route 322. The dazed animal was immediately hit by a car going in the opposite direction, and, although a sym pathetic bystander took it to a vet, it had to be destroyed. The fate of most other abandoned pets is less dramatic. Those left on farms are usually driven off by the resident cats and dogs or make such a nuisance of themselves trying to get into the house that the farmer is forced to kill them or take them over to the Pennsylvania So ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals shelter. Those left in the woods slowly starve to death it takes about six weeks or, in the case of cats, puppies and kittens, provide dinner for a raccoon, a bobcat or sometimes a snack for coy-dogs. Those left in residential opinions Have no fear in proposal to "unleash" campus police If the Superior Court had ruled the other way, howev- er, campus police would have had to rely on the coop eration of local authorities to apprehend suspects fleeing off campus. Someone could have stolen the Nittany Lion statue, carried it across Park Avenue, and been safe from arrest unless State College Let us look very briefly at these three areas. • Ecology: Most of us have probably seen the results of that famous biology experiment in which a rapidly growing microorganism is placed in a sealed petri dish. The population grows on a positive exponential curve, using up the life-sup porting materials and accumulating waste prod ucts, until the environment is incapable of supporting the creatures, i.e. the dish has exceed ed its carrying capacity, and the population declines precipitously. areas usually end up at the SPCA, taken there by homeowners who already have pets and who, justifiably, do not want other people's cast-offs. The problem is plainly one of attitude; irresponsible pet ownership is tolerated and even accepted in the college commu nity. When a friend, or a roomie, or a frat brother adopts a puppy or kitten, the standard response is "How cute!" not "How are you going to keep him over the summer?" Young animals are perceived as animated playthings or image enhanc ers and not living, breathing fellow crea tures that require more from their human protectors in training, attention, financial outlay, and time that most students with their busy schedules and transient likestyles are able, or even willing, to give. Most students do not have the time for young animals who quickly develop de structive habits when left alone, nor the patience needed to teach them respect for their owner's property. Neither do most students have the facilities to house a pet properly when it is full grown. Strict leash laws prevent dogs from being allowed to run loose, and chained dogs will often bark with bore dom and aggravate the neighbors to the point of calling the police. Cats, too, are ." t A \" • S ~. -1,2 ,I:. a .A:1 '.5:1:.:~.~3~ ~,. :~:.~:. police responded quickly. A bill recently introduced in the state Senate by Sen. J.

Another difficulty is that dogs and cats mature sexually after only a few months. A tomcat may develop the habit of mark ing his territory spritzing the walls, furniture, and drapes with the odorifer ous urine. A dog in heat may whine continuously to get out or make embar rassing advances to callers. Consequent ly, over a period of months, many student pet-owners become more and more exasperated with the difficulties and less and less able to enjoy their pet. Thus, although many students are po tentially good pet-owners because they genuinely love animals, they are not in a position to take on such a responsibility, either financially or emotionally, while they are in school. What speaks most eloquently for this fact are the large numbers of young, untrained, unspayed (and un-neutered), and often pregnant cats and dogs that appear mysteriously, like pathetic refu gees from a revolution, in and around State College at the end of every Spring Term. is to crooks Photo by Stel Varies At Penn State, the problem of off-campus pursuit is not as complicated as at urban schools. University Park is one contiguous area; its buildings are not scattered over a city. Successful pur suit is easier here than it would be at a city campus. If Corman's proposal be comes law, the difficulties of all campus police in the state —as well as college security guards would be reduced. Perpetrators of crime should not be allowed to go free just because they hap pen to cross an arbitrary line dividing property.

As I page through the Collegian I am forced to check out a lovely broad, in silhouette, gracefully toying with her hair. Why? Because the Heritage Oaks Apartments, managed by Benchmark Realty, wants to tell us to "Wait! Don't rent yet. Not until you see our MODELS." Sexist advertising of this type has no place in a university paper that caters to career-oriented students. An ad portraying a woman strictly as a sex object is uncalled for. Virginia Slims tells us that we've come a long way, baby, but the Collegian has taken us back, way back, by reinforcing sexist attitudes inap propriate in our society today. Kathryn J.

Before coming to State College, Cranage attended a 2-year program at the Culinary Institute, then located in New Haven, Conn. (It is now in New York City). At the institute, Cranage had classes in the production of food, advanced bake shops, European cui sine and planning. . "It was a pretty complete course," Cranage said. "When I went, there were only eight to 10 students in the class which made it possible for me to get hands-on experience. Now there are 20 to 30 students in each class." After graduating from the institute, Cranage came to the University and received a bachelor's degree in food service and restaurant management. In his junior and senior years, Cranage started working at Dante's, 114 S. Garner St., as a practicum. He has remained with Dante's Inc. the parent corporation of The Deli, 113 Hiester St.; and the Hi-Way Pizza Shoppes for seven years.

Twelve New Kensington campus students raised $3,000 for the Westmoreland County Chapter of the American Heart Association by walking 130 miles from their campus to University Park, Larry Pollock, dean of students at New Kensington, said. "We have blisters on every toe, and we walked in the rain all day Sunday, but those are the only problems we had," Pollock, who also walked, said. "We took a lot of rest breaks along the way, and there was a van traveling with us." Pollock said the group left about 6 p.m. Friday and arrived Sunday evening. They traveled along Routes 22 and 45, and had special police permission for every town they traveled through. The walkers solicited pledges from students and businesses for every mile walked, and many restaurants and businesses along the route donated food and lodging. Lisa Sobota (3rd-special education) said she was relieved the walk was over. "It was hard at times, but it went really great," she said, "I can't wait to tell everyone back at New Kensington how it went." Though the walk-a-thon was held last year, this was the first time for most of the walkers, as well as their first visit to University Park. "It was sort of like upholding a tradition," Sobota said. "And I really like the campus, it's pretty exciting."

Mil MI miles for heart fund Steve Boley (6th-electrical engineering) said the members of the group did not really know each other before the walk. "There were posters all over campus, and we just signed up," he said. "We really got to know each other on the walk." Several of the walkers said lack of publicity was a problem. . "There was one newspaper article and we were on TV once," Boley said. Mary Rygiel (3rd-division of undergraduate studies) said the group generated most of its own publicity by soliciting pledges. "I would ask someone to pledge for the walk-a-thon,, and they would say 'what walk-a-thon?' " she said. "We could have used some more support from the Heart Association, too." Sue Couslin (6th-administration of justice), coordinator of the event, walked last year. "I knew better than to walk this year," she said, "I enjoyed coordinating much better, even though it was complicated figuring what time we would be where." Though all of the walkers said the trek was worth it, many were doubtful about doing it again. "I think we would all do it again if we had more support from the Heart Association," Rygiel said, "but it was tough." The group was greeted Monday morning by Richard E. Grubb, senior vice president for administrative services, who presented them with T-shirts and a "worn shoe award." "We should recognize and appreciate the efforts of our branch campus students," he said. "These things may seem foolish now, but years from now you'll remember them as worthwhile." The group drove back to New Kensington yesterday morning.
