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

skill and the historical background needed to
establish a position of their own with regard to

'Dumped' pet a spring custom
By Suzanne Downs
Graduate-English
At the end of every Spring Term, Penn
State students quitting Happy Valley
leave residents with an unpleasant and
shanieful problem: abandoned pets. 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

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

police responded quickly.
A bill recently introduced
in the state Senate by Sen. J.
Doyle Corman would give the
Superior Court's ruling the
force of legislation. Under
this proposal, campus police
across the state would be
given the statutory right to
pursue suspects outside offi
cial campus boundaries.

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.
This legislation would give
police the freedom they need
to enforce the law effective

Sexist ad
I felt that I must comment on the low standards that The
Daily Collegian has shown itself willing to accept in its advertis
ing copy. 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.

Turned off
I realize that you need ads to keep money coming in to run the
Collegian, but I was so turned off by this particilar one that I am
compelled to bring it to your attention.
Could you maybe suggest to Benchmark that they change
this format? Certainly a sketch or picture of the actual apart
ment would be more tasteful, non-sexist and less offensive than
this stupid effort at bringing in the customer. I know I'd never
consider renting from them.

BILLS,

I read the piece by Rick Jackson concerning the "squonks't '
(April 10 issue of the Daily Collegian) and think it's the first time
all year you've printed something worthwhile (excluding DooiT
nesbury and Shoe, of course.) Anyway, it made me sit down an'
think about why so many people here at PSU seem so lonely.
I'd like to suggest that fear of rejection is a primary reason ;
for this (certainly it's not due to a lack of people.) Rejection is,a,
painful experience for anyone (understandably so), but it won't:
have any crippling effects unless you allow it to. ' . ga
So before you cop out today by not asking that cute girl or guy, . '•

more cooking up excuses
But now that he has a job in the
cooking industry, Cranage no longer
needs excuses to stay home and cook.
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.

Students walk 130
BY MARY BETH HORWATH
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
A group of Commonwealth campus students proved this
weekend that University Park students are not the only fund
raisers willing to endure sore and blistered feet.
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."

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.
