!INTRODUCING
OLIVETTI'S ET 121. IT MAKES
OBSOL THE SELECTRI ETE.C® I,HAND
A famous tough guy
I asks Olivetti some tough questions
about its new electronic typewriter:
Q. Don't make me laugh. Your new
II ET 121's going to make IBM's
m Selectr ics obsolete?
A. They already are. Selectrics are
electromechanical. And that's old
1..! technology. Our new r..:T 121 is elec
tronic. Everybody knows electronic is
I today's state of the art.
I Q. Not everybody. Pretend I'm
stupid. What's so great about
electronic typewriters?
; A. For one thing, the ET 121's elec
tronic design has fewer moving parts.
.9 (IBM's Selectrics have over 1,000
mechanical parts.) Fewer moving
parts should mean fewer parts to
I break down.
Q. For another? •
A: Because it's electronic, the ET 121
handles many functions automati-
N catty. It even has a one-line memory to
make correcting a snap. And it types
• in foreign languages without chang
ing the printing wheel.
Q. Wait a minute! Did you say
printing wheel? What's that .
1 2 A. The ET 121 has a daisy wheel
Li printer, not a ball. To make every doe
". ument look professionally done.
Also, the ET 121 is significantly
I quieter than the Selectrics. You can
I !wily - hear the difference.

Lewis said the high quality of munici
pal services and quality of the environ
ment did not happen by accident but
were the result many people's hard
work. She said one of the council's most
important duties was to maintain this
quality.
Deeslie said hard work has created an
environment that makes many people
want to return to this area and that
situation should not be sacrificed.
Some of the candidates, though, urged
the council to reduce spending, and in
particular to get rid of the taxi cab
system.
the addition of new members was prp
pcksed to give the production staff an
active role in the decision-making proc
esses of the board.
"Basically we have 100 members in
volved in the committee as ushers; stage
crew and so on, and it is unfair for them
not to have more to do with the actual
decision making," she said.
Nixon said the addition will also elimi
nate a sense of apathy which as been
present within UCC because members
did not have a voice in the policy-making
process.
"Some students become discouraged
because they are interested in music and
don't have much to do with the decision
Q. Yeah. But do I have to send my
secretary to M.I.T. to learn to run

The municipalilty purchased the taxi
system in 1979 from private owners. It
then turned the cabs over to the Centre
Area Transportation Authority for opera
tion. Because the system was operating
at a defecit, CATA asked to be relieved of
responsibility for the cabs and the munic
ipality then voted to retain the system for
at least another year on a trial basis.
Penkala called the cab system• "a
losing proposition" and said she would
rather see the taxis run by private own
ers.
Intorre said the paratransit rights pur
chased with the cabs include any
ridership not regularly scheduled and
would be beneficial if they were devel
oped, but so far he has not seen any
results.

Kim Hancharik, a UCC usher and co
publicity manager, said there has been a
need to have more people from the pro
duction staff on the policy board and the
board will benefit from the additions.
"It is important that there is input
from the production staff people because
UCC's main purpose is music and those
people are actually involved in the activ
ities," Hancharik said. "They have some
valuable input to offer that could be
added to what the policy board is getting
now."
Also at the meeting, Melvin S. Klein,
UCC representative of the office of vice
president for student affairs, said UCC

Spearly said, "The municipality should
not be in any business private industry
can handle."
Deeslie defended the council's decision
to keep the cabs. He said, though, if he is
on the council at the end of the year
experiment, he will vote to sell the cabs if
the council can find a responsible and
viable buyer.
Hudock said he is in favor of a human
rights ordinance in State College that
would include equality despite , physical
and mental handicaps and marital status
in addition to national origin.
Most of the other candidates said,
however, they favored taking the matter
to the Human Relations Commission and
the Human Services Committee before
passing another ordinance.
"I'm concerned with the redundancy of
laws upon laws," Spearly said.
Among the school board candidates,
education quality through the maximum
use of teachers was stressed.
Brush said if teachers could spend less
time on discipline, they could have more
time for academics.
Eddy said she thinks the basic em
phasis in the school should be placed on
the basic skills of English and mathemat
ics.
In other parts of the program, District
attorney candidate H. Amos Goodall
said, "Serious crimes demand serious
attention."
He said he would also like to see the
time shortened between when people are
apprehended and when they are either
sentenced or released.
Judge of the Court of Common Pleas
candidate Novak said he would like to see
a fine, imprisonment or alternative sen
tence handed down for every conviction
rather than letting any convictions go
unpunished.
and other organizations who sponsor
entertainers at Hec Hall will retain use of
the hall's facilities.
. Klein said the University Arrangement
Committe had been asked to consider
reassigning two rooms behind the stage
in Rec Hall previously used by perform
ers for dressing and tuning.
"The proposal was to have the rooms
converted for classroom use, I believe
for adaptive physical education," he
said.
In other business, the board voted to
increase the amount of money that may
be paid by UCC to an artist for a perfor
mance from $2,000 to $3,000 because of
inflation.

The Undergraduate Student
Government Executive Council
said last night that as a body of
student leaders it expects to be
informed of the negotiations be
tween the Teamsters Local No. 8
and the University.
"Executive Council is extreme
ly aware of the labor situation and
is aware of its potential ramifica
tions and as student leaders we
want very much to be kept in
formed about the process of nego
tiations," according to the
statement.
USG President Bill ,Cluck de
clined to comment further on the
statement because of the delicacy
of the situation.
The teamsters are refusing to
negotiate with the University un
less the University releases infor
mation regarding the number of
hours student employees work.

man developed pneumonia yesterday,
and her doctor said the 96-year-old for
mer first lady was in a "critical stage"
as she also battled heart and kidney
problems while recuperating from hip
surgery.
Dr. Wallace Graham, in a statement
issued yesterday afternoon at Research
Medical Center, said the widow of Presi
dent Harry S. Truman was found to have
"hypostatic pneumonia" despite contin
ual dimes of a broad spectrum of antibiot
ics. '
"This is not a true bacterial pneumo
nia," he said. "But fluid has accumu
lated in the lungs and therefore she is not
breathing as deeply as she should."
Graham said hypostatic pneumonia is
caused when fluid collects in air sacs in
the lungs, particularly when the patient
is unable to circulate, cough hard or
change positions in bed.
"We want her to give us some good,

"Executive Council endorses
ARHS's efforts to evaluate the
recent developments in the coed
housing situation," the resolution
said.
USG Vice President Ken Reeves
said the proposal ARHS submitted
to Oswald was an informed one.
"I worked on the proposal
ARHS gave to the administra
tion," Reeves said. "It was very
good, well written and it got to the
heart of the , problem."
Reeves said Oswald's encour
agement of interest houses may
cause students to join interest
houses for the wrong reasons.
"I worry about theme housing,"
Reeves said. "I don't want it to
prostitute interest house program
and there's a definite possibility of
that."
In relation to Fresh Start, the
council agreed to support the idea
of a student handbook put out by
students without giving financial
backing to the project.
Former. USG President Joe
Healey said the next step to pro
ducing, a freshman information
handbook would be to ask the
Office of Student Affairs for sup

this is hard to do."
Earlier yesterday, Graham said Mrs.
Truman "remains in quite serious condi

complication developed.
The doctor said Monday he considered
the condition of anyone Mrs. Truman's
