Power choice faces society
By 114VID BARNES
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
Americans must decide between electric and non
electric power for its source of energy, the director of
the Institute for Energy Analysis said yesterday.
Alvin Weinberg said the decision will be based on
a choice between resources fueling large power
plants, which produce electricity, and synthetic fuels
and solar energy, which produce non-electric power.
Weinberg also proposed the clustering of nuclear
plants to decrease their environmental impact by
limiting the affected geographical area, while also
increasing plant safety by pooling experienced tech
nicians and increasing their interaction with train
ees.
Weinberg spoke at a lecture cosponsored by the
Science, Technology and Society program and Collo-
quy. The lecture was the first in a series on energy
issues entitled "Energy: A Time to Choose."
The argument of electric versus nonelectric power
is based on the relative centralization of each, Wein
berg said.
According to one argument, he said, electricity is
large and centralized, as it is produced by power
plants that serve a large number of people.
Weinberg said the argument then says centraliza
tion means that electricity lends itself to authoritari
an control, which many consider to be evil.
Mr. C's male strippers take it off again
By LORRAINE ORLANDI
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
The show must go on.
The show is Mr. C's All Male Revue. It
will return to the stage tonight at Mr. C's,
112 W. College Ave., despite the state
Liquor Control Board's charges that the
show constitutes "lewd and immoral and
improper entertainment."
Chris Papadopoulos, co-owner of Mr.
C's, said he plans to reopen the show
although he was informed in a letter
from the LCB that he will receive a
citation because of the show. He said he
will appear at a hearing before the LCB if
he is cited.
"Nowadays, you have to do what you
feel is right," Papadopoulos said. "There

The proponents of this view support the use of
solar heating and home run generators as decentra
lized energy sources, he said.
Weinberg said the basic principle of these theor
ists is that decentralization of energy will lead to the
decentralization of government and society as a
whole, removing the possibility of totalitarianism.
"I must not underestimate the power of this
nonelectrical utopia," Weinberg said.
However, he continued, Americans must not for
get the reasons for which they are so attached to
electricity.
"It is convenient, and convenience is a surrogate
for time," he said. "We're only given so much (time)
in our lifetimes, perhaps 70 or so years, and this
convenience makes way for leisure what we like to
do."
The popularity of electricity has been increasing,
Weinberg said. One reason, Weinberg said, is the
steadily increasing price of oil.
"The real price of oil has tripled since 1972, while
the price of electricity has increased about 20 to 30
percent."
Consequently, he said, America has been moving
more and more towards electrical power.
"In 1968, the fraction of our total energy supplied
by electricity was 21 percent. In 1980, it was 33
percent," he said.
is no clear cut definition of lewd and
immoral. I don't feel what I'm doing is
lewd and immoral so I'm going to go on
with it."
The LCB also charged Papadopoulos
with allowing the entertainers in the
revue to "contact or associate with pa
trons," he said.
Papadopoulos said he thinks the danc
ers in the revue are not different from
other entertainers in State College such
as band members who also come in
contact and touch patrons of the estab
lishments in which they work.
Papadopoulos said he thinks the main
reason the show was cited by the LCB is
because the dancers were seen touching
their genitals as part of the performance
The dancers have been instructed not
to touch their genitals during the perfor
mance, although they can do it off-stage
and the rule that performers and specta
tors not touch each other will be strictly
enforced, Papadopoulos said.
Beverly Eager, press secretary for the
LCB, said such cases usually arise out of
a complaint.
"We don't send people to walk in and
out of places," Eager said.
Papadopoulos said he thinks someone
from the State. College area complained
about the show.
"The people who might have made a
complaint could be the same people who

Weinberg said some analysts predict that by the
year 2000 electricity will provide 45-50 percent of the
nation's energy.
One problem is that the resources used in produc
ing electricity are mainly non-renewable, Weinberg
said. This makes the oil situation crucial, he said.
Although there are various synthetic fuel projects,
he said, the only way to decrease U.S. dependency on
oil is to resort to nuclear power, if Americans intend
to continue their present lifestyle.
However, he said, the future of nuclear power at
this time is very much in question, due in part to the
Three Mile Island incident.
"I am fond of saying that Three Mile Island may
be the savior of the nuclear industry, if the nuclqar
industry survives TMI," Weinberg said. He ex
plained that now the nuclear industry sees the need
for proper safety measures, whereas before the
incident the need was less apparent.
With the present trend toward these safeguards
making considerable headway, the new responsibili
ty of the nuclear industry is to convince the public of
the necessity of nuclear power for the future, he said.
"If we can run our nuclear power plants for ten
years without incident, convincing the public of their
safety, we can possibly make way for a second
nuclear era," Weinberg said.

"They are anonynmous, they don't have
to say who they are, but the LCB has to
act oci their complaint."
Eager said once the LCB receives a
complaint it sends officers to observe the
establishment. These officers are wit
nesses at the hearing.
Papadopoulos said the citation is a
"routine charge."
"People are cited for this quite often,"
he said.
The penalty will be determined after
the hearing if he is found guilty, he said.
Papadopoulos said he does not know
whether he will be issued another cita
