Charity gets licked today
Is happiness two kinds of ice cream or
is it a chance to see how many scoops of
the scrumptious stuff you can lick, slurp
or gulp down ,in five minutes?
Whether or not ice cream brings happi
ness to your heart, it sure tastes great on
a hot spring evening so members of
Zeta Tau Alpha sorority are giving en
trants the opportunity to enjoy the 31
wonderful flavors of Baskin Robbins ice
cream in Zeta Tau Alpha's 10th Annual
Ice Cream Superbowl.
Proceeds from the ice 'cream superb
owl, to be - held at 7 today at Baskin
Robbins, 358 E. College Ave., will benefit
the Pennsylvania Association for Re-
Rocco's first in soccer
Although the number of injuries was
high, the quality of the competition at
Saturday's Kappa Delta Rho/Kevin
Steinberg Memorial Soccer Tournament
was not overshadowed by them, said
Brian Lipsitz (12th-geological science),
brother at Kappa Delta Rho.
"We had more problems with injuries
this year, but it was by far the best
competition we've had in three years,"
Lipsitz said.

Centre Cab
changes hands today
By PAUL BOYNTON
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
Starting at 6 a.m. . today, Centre Cab
will be operated by the State College
Municipality instead of the Centre . Area
Transportation Authority.
After incurring a $27,000 debt under the
CATA management, the State College
Municipal Council decided last month to
take over operations and keep the cab
system running.
The goal is to erase the debt, and
ultimately turn operations over to CATA
again, said Municipal Manager Carl
Fairbanks.
CATA Manager Paul aversier said
recently that CATA was not able to
devote enough time
,to operate Centre
Cab efficiently. Moreover, CATA is try
ing to solve chronic short-term financial
problems due to federal grant delays.
The Centre Cab budget will have a
different rate structure under municipal
operation.
Proposed rates are 80 cents for the first
one-sixth mile, 20 cents for each additio
nal one-sixth mile and 20 cents for each
minute waiting time.
The existing rates are 95 cents for first
wafter mi1c,.,70 cents for each :4404'V')
ile and 10 ; , cents for each minute of>,,

Zeta Tau Alpha's philanthropy chairwo
man.
The contest is open to independents, as
well as sorority and fraternity members.
Individuals will be given five minutes,
and teams will be given two minutes to
eat as much ice cream as they can. Relay
teams, who are given three scoops of ice
cream, will race to eat those scoops in
the least amount of time.
To make the event better than ever,
this year the sorority is giving plaques to
the Ist, 2nd and 3rd place winners in all
three categories.

Plaques are awarded to the teams
placing first through third. In addition,
the name of the winning team is en
graved on a trophy.

former fraternity brother, for four con

The state Public Utility Commission
has tentatively approved the new rate
structure and it is scheduled to go into
effect May 9, Fairbanks said.
According to the budget, one cab will
run from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m.; two,cabs will
run from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m.; three cabs
will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; 2 cabs
will run from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.; one cab
will run from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m.
The proposed budget total is $142,630,
and Fairbanks said the budget assumes
that Centre Cab will not incur a loss.
Four used Chevrolet Novas purchased
from the State College Police Depart
ment will replace the existing four-car
fleet, he said, because each Nova has less
mileage than the present cabs.
The cabs will be dispatched from the
Greyhound-Trailways bus terminal .at
152 N. Atherton St. by the Trailways
operator. Dispatching hours will be from
6 a.m. to 3 a.m. for the next six months,
Fairbanks said.
Centre Cab will become a 24-hour serv
ice after the next six months, he said.
The bus terminal will be open during
dispatching hoUrs, Fairbanks , said.

$16.40, Lee said. A round trip excursion fare of $25 will also be
available.
The train will come under the same cost-sharing plan that
Amtrak and PennDOT use to fund the Philadelphia-Pittsburgh
Pennsylvanian, inaugurated in April, 1980.
Under this plan, Amtrak will pay 80 percent of operating
costs and PennDOT will pay 20 percent the first year of
operation.
The Amtrak-PennDOT split will be 65-35 the second year and
50-50 for subsequent years. Lee said PennDOT will pay about
$274,000 and Amtrak $948,000 for the new service the first year.
Lee said the train will use the same type of streamlined
"Amfleet" cars as are used on the Pennsylvanian, providing
both coach and coach snack-bar service.
An efficient equipment utilization plan will enable Amtrak
to use the same two trainsets for both the Pennsylvanian and
the Fort Pitt. Instead of sitting overnight at Pittsburgh, the
westbound Pennsylvanian will turn around there and run to
Altoona as the eastbound Fort Pitt.
