Student activism
Bus funding by ARHS, USG an
Before we even had a chance to
write an editorial about the lack of
bus service on Memorial Day, steps
were taken to do something about it
thanks to the new student govern
ment.
Last Tuesday, Undergraduate Stu
dent Government President Bill
Cluck found out about the disconti
nued service. He was soon in touch
with the Centre Area Transportation
Authority, trying to 'find out if it
would be feasible to fund a bus. The
matter was discussed at the Associa
tion of Residence Hall Students and
USG Executive Council meetings
that night. Two days later, Cluck had
negotiated a contract with CATA
$453.75 for a one-bus shuttle from 7
a.m. to 7 p.m. on Memorial Day.
This week, USG agreed to pay 25
percent of the cost and, with some
reluctance, ARHS agreed to pay 75
percent.
Providing bus service is not really
the responsibility of ARHS and USG,
but when they realized no one else
would do it, they felt obligated to
step in. Their action has shown' the
community one example of student
government responding . effectively
to a problem affecting . students.
In this case Cluck Was the initiat
ing force, and he recruited the help
of many other people, particularly
ARHS President Chris Calkins. It
would have been very hard for Cluck
to pull off the whole deal by himself.
He needed the cooperation of other
student leaders.
So far, this appears to be Cluck's
strong point. He is making an effort
to involve as many people'as he can'
in student government and establish:
Self-defeating
Summer Term work-study policy unfair
• The term "work-study" implies
earning money while going to school.
But this summer, the University will
be encouraging work-study students
not to study.
Students who take zero to seven
credits, and can afford to work full
time, will be on the top of the list
when the work-study funds are doled
out.
This is because the money for
work-study this summer is being
borrowed from next year's funds,
and the University' is trying to re
coup work-study money in the fall'in
the form of tuition, housing and
other educational expenses.
Students receiving grants must
sign a letter saying they understand
he conditions and agree to save the
money for their Fall Term expenses.
If the funds, considered part of the
financial aid package, are not re-
Jed Smock and Cindy Lasseter came to the University to
;aye people. They believe that the only way for a human being
lo be saved from the damning fires of Hell is to accept Jesus as
Lord.
No ifs, ands or buts about it.
"The Bible says that the Word of the Lord is like a
hammer," Cindy said, "and sometimes you need to insult
someone to hammer the Word into their thick heads."
When I first saw Jed and Cindy'preaching on Monday they
were bellowing and jumping around, hammering the Lord into
thick heads. It sounded like they were preaching hatred, hatred
of everyone whose ideas weren't exactly like theirs. As I think
back on their words it still sounds like that.
I and most of the other thick heads just stood and laughed at
the entertainment. Some of the thick heads murmured among
themselves that this is not Christianity and shouldn't be
allowed.
The preachers surrounded by the crowd seemed to be
caricatures, not deserving of human respect.
Other thick heads got mad and yelled and screamed until
their mouths foamed. I could feel their hate breathing hot all
around me.
I took Cindy aside for an interview. She was not the wild and
strong damning machine I'd seen outside on the steps of
Schwab Auditorium. She was a shy, young girl from Florida.
opinions
good communication among groups.
Student government is not just USG;
it is all the organizations that rep
resent students. One student organi
' zation cannot effectively represent
the entire student body.
That is why Executive Council is
so important. By having student
leaders sit down once a week and
discuss issues, they can see where
their energies should be directed.
As president of USG, Cluck is in
the position to make student govern
ment a potent force in the Universi
ty. Fortunately, he has expressed his
desire to do so. "Student activism"
has been a key phrase in his admin
istration.
Student activism can be inter
preted more than one way. To many
people, it means long-haired freaks
throwing Molotov cocktails, into
ROTC buildings. . But in, 1981, it
means shedding apathy, becoming
involved and realizing that students
can make a difference. It means
moving beyond rhetoric although
Cluck offers plenty of that, too: It
means seeing something is wrong
and doing something about it, such
as providing transportation for the
last day of finals. It means not giving
up.

turned, the student's financial aid
record will indicate so and the stu
dent may run short of further finan
cial aid in the future.
It is obvious that the most active
times for the University are Fall,
Winter and Spring terms, but the
new policy is unfair to the full-time
students who need work-study mon
ey to pay for their expenses during
the summer.
And if students are going to work
full time during the summer, they
probably could make and save more
money for the fall if they lived and
worked at home.
The University cannot be blamed
for a lack of funds, for almost every
one seems to have that problem. But
to expect students not to study in
order to get work-study funds goes
against the whole point of financial
aid for an education.

Why didn't Cindy Lasseter smile?
Her voice was soft and kind.
The only similarity between the two Ciqdys was the eyes.
They were fiery and kind. I told a friend that day that I
supposed Christ had eyes like hers.
"Before I was Christian, I couldn't even speak in speech
class," she told me. "But now the Spirit gives me strength." "
When she took the steps again, I felt alone. I couldn't feel a
part of the thick heads anymore. And I still couldn't accept ;
what the evangelists believed.
"I have friends," Cindy had said to me. "I have Christian
friends all over the country. Sometimes I get to talk to sinners
like you and then you understand. The ones in the crowd who
hate me just can't see' through Their ignorance." .
Later in the day I asked Cindy why she didn't smile more.
She walked nervously and usually watched the ground. Smiles
were rare and I felt accomplished if I could get one.
She said she wanted people to see how serious she was about
saving them. Sometimes, she said, it was hard not to laugh, but
she couldn't allow herself.
As we walked down the street and through the HUB, I felt
the stares of the curious on us. I imagined that this must be how
it feels to live in a world with views that are different from the
rest. Stared at like an object. An unwelcome object.
She didn't seem to notice, but just went on speaking.
"Last night I was out to dinner with someone at a restau
rant," she said. "I just felt strange sitting around with all those
sinners, and I was about to leave . . ."
I asked her about the stares.
"It's not a usual life, I guess," she said. "But I like it."
Tuesday night I attended a lecture and prayer meeting in
Eisenhower Chapel featuring Jed Smock.

County Democrats operate like Lenin
Off-year primaries usuallyare as exciting as a
no-smoking, no-drinking, no-fun fundamentalist
wedding. However, this year an ideological civil
war is shaping up in the Centre County Democrat
ic primary. On Tuesday, Democrats will let• their
party bosses know which tradition they want their
party to follow.
On the one hand, theirs is the tradition of
Jacksonian democracy.
Andrew Jackson was the first non-aristocrat to
be elected President of the United States. Born in
a log cabin in the backwoods of South Carolina,
Jackson became a national hero after he and a
pirate captain repelled an English invasion at the
Battle of New Orleans.
Because of his background and constituency,
Jackson had little use for the well-heeled, well
educated, well-cultured snooty set, who consid
ered themselves far better suited to rule the
young country than Jackson's boisterous back
woods rabble.
He pushed through a series. of reforms that
extended suffrage and opened the political proc
ess to more Americans than ever before.
In short, Jacksonian Democrats believe that
people who drink their beer in neighborhood bars
are entitled to the same voice in government as
those who sip their cocktails in country clubs.
On the other hand, there is the .tkadition of
Vladimir Lenin and democratic centralism.
Whereas Jackson grew up in a young nation full of
ambition and dreams, Lenin was the product of a
dying civilization, and he did not share Jackson's
faith in the common man.
Although he claimed to have the masses'
interests at heart, Lenin believed they were not
bright enough to know what was best for them.
Therefore, they needed leadership, which would
be provided by an elite core of the Communist
-reader opinion
Stunned
"Touch me again and Jesus will strike you dead." When I heard
this I wanted to walk away, but I couldn't. I was too stunned.
Here is a 21-year-old kid trying to think seriously about something
so important and so vague: religion. Here is a dedicated group with a
large following telling us that rock and roll music will damn our souls, that
John Lennon was a devil. Specific charges made by two self-proclaimed
saints on the steps of Schwab on Tuesday.
I can't take this lightly. It is more than a cruel joke. The image I
try to fight is one of millions of non-Christians standing at Heaven's gate.
Told to strip and shower. Gold fillings used to make harps, souls mass
dumped in Hell.
God, please don't believe it.

it seemed
While the group waited for Jed to begin, someone played
guitar and sang. Smiles were just all over the place.
I couldn't believe that Jed and Cindy didn't just bring big
crowds into this room with all these happy people instead of
preaching hate and damnation. It seemed a much better means
of recruitment.
But Jed gave me the answer in his sermon that followed.
To paraphrase: the ONLY way to go to Heaven is to accept
Jesus as lord in your life. God is not love, Jed said. God is holy.
And holy is somewhere in between love and wrath. You can love
everyone on earth. Every deed of your life can closely model
Christ's deeds. But unless you say that Jesus is your lord, then
you are going to hell.
That's what they believe.
After that, I began to understand. I began to see that the
story I had already written about three evangelists who came
to Penn,State may have neatly summed up events, but did not
fully tell what really happened. •
Here's how I might have written the story if journalism were
different, if I had the chance to do it again, and if I really
thought the truth could change the world:
Three people have the same belief. They believe they've
found the answer to life. And now that they have that answer, ,
they will be happy forever. ,
But these people have to make a choice. They can live the
rest of their lives secretly smiling their asses off, or they can
spread the secret around. You see, they will bet their lives that
unless everyone shares their belief, everyone will be unhappy
for eternity.
And the choice is really no choice. They love everyone (that
seems to just come naturally with their secret) and they

party. The people are given some say in minor
matters, but all major decisions are made by the
central committee of the Communist party.
By 1972, Jacksonian democracy appeared to
have won a decisive victory. There were more
primaries than ever before, and the days when
decisions were - made in smoke-filled backrooms
seemed to have gone the way of slavery.
However, the German poet Goethe said that
change is the price we „must pay for living, and the
Democratic party in Centre County seems to be
sending us notice that the bill is on the way. If past
performance is any indication, it appears that a
progressive element is trying to wean the party
from its overdependence on Jacksonian prin
ciples and move it in the direction of democratic
centralism.
Last year Bob Brazill, a student, won tie
Democratic
, primary for state represent4ive.
The party ignored the result of the primary and
endorsed Michael Day, an independent candidate,
because they said Brazill was ineligible to run.
Granted, Brazill may have been ineligible, but
the question was for the courts to decide, not the
party leadership.
Now if the Brazill case were an isolated
incident, there would be no cause for alarm, but

On Wednesday, The Daily Collegian pritited a forum that
reinforced the stereotype of an ethnic group through the forum itself,
the headline and the accompanying illustration.
The forum, on the Opinions Page, compared the relationship
between the University and Behrend College (a Commonwealth
campus) to that of a small American Indian nation within an a large
Indian nation.
Not only did the headline "Behrend College treated like a
bunch of indians" imply that all Indians are treated poorly, but
"Indians" was not capitalized.
Throughout the forum, Indians were referred to in stereotyped
forms, such as the "Great Blue and White Father" knowing what's best
for "the young savages" by not letting them "build new tepees."
The illustration showed two Indians one with pigtails
sticking out of his feather headdress and the other holding a pipe
speaking to little Indians who had , little feathers in their headbands.
These are stereotypical images of American Indians.
The Collegian apologizes to anyone who was offended by the
forum. We also apologize for furthering a racial stereotype, particular
ly in light of our ongoing efforts to break down such stereotypes.

and tell everyone the secret.
They want to make sure they are understood. So they try to
shut off every other belief except their own.
They know that actions are easily imitated by those who
don't understand the reasons behind the actions. They know ;.
there are many beliefs that appear to be like theirs. They know ,
that words are easily misunderstood.
And being misunderstood is a chance they can't take. •
So they let it be known: "if you don't believe EXACTLY as
we do, then you are wrong."
They came to a place where they thought many were
unhappy and could use the secret. They knew they would be
unpopular, but they felt they had to try.
The crowds did not like the words the three said, but laughed
and threw verbal stones, only wanting to hear their own beliefs.
After three days, the three left the place. Many thoughts}
were thought'in their wake and they felt successful.
Many in the crowd thought the three had wasted their time:l
and should not come back.
It's a funny world.
On Wednesday, before she left town, Cindy Lasseter stopped 4

I wanted to tell her I loved her because she'd loved everyone

"We really do not have enough faculty for all of
the students."
There has been a tremendous increase in the
number of students entering the advertising ma
jor, said William Gibbs, assistant professor of
advertising.
Between Fall Term 1978 and Fall Term 1979,
the number of advertising majors at the Universi
ty increased from 219 to 324, Gibbs said. In the fall
of 1980, the increase continued and there were 360
advertising majors in the college, he said.
"That's quite a growth," Gibbs said. "We hope
(the new admission requirements) will have an
effect of cutting'down the number of students to a
manageable size.
"This is an attempt to offer a quality pro
gram," he said. "We just cannot do it with so
many students."
Gibbs said the increase in the number of
advertising majors is a nationwide phenomenon.
"The number of advertising faculty that are
available nationwide is very limited because

there, is such an increase in the number of
students in advertising all over the country," he
said.
Frank .Preissle, assistant professor of adver
tising, said there has been a great increase in the
number of advertising majors and there are not
enough faculty members to meet the demand.
"There were about 125 to 150 advertising
majors five years ago," he said. "Now we have
over 350 majors and only five faculty mem
bers."
There are two advertising faculty members
who are leaving the University by the next aca
demic year, but they have been replaced.
Preissle said of the students in advertising
now, about 150 of them had a 3.0 GPA before they
came into advertising. ,
"So we figure (with the new requirements) we
can be back where we were," he said.
Preissle also said the job market for advertis
ers is tight and the University should try to cut
back on the number of its graduates in advertis-

with 100 to 150 cards in each.
Conventions allow collectors to buy
many cards all at once, including the
current season's set, instead of run
ning down to their local drug store
every few weeks when the new series
come out.
The pictures on the cards are either
candid shots from games or posed
pictures, which are shot by card com
pany, photographers each winter dur
ing training camp. If a player has an
outstanding season, then the price of
his card may rise.
Cards signed by the player and balls
autographed by teams will be some of
the items that the hardcore collectors
will be buying and selling.
Some people will just go to look, but
one collector said he plans on bringing
up to $lOO with him so he can purchase
this year's sets and autographs from
recognized dealers, who travel around
the country to different conventions
and can get sets in advance. The
completed sets sell for $l5 to $20..
Klein said he "collected cards years
ago when I was a kid but my mother
threw them all out. I just got back into
it last year ago as an investment."
Alumnus promotes special education
By SUZANNE M. CASSIDY
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
Every child has the right to be educated in a public
school system, including exceptional and . handicapped
students, said the director of the Frank Porter Graham
Child Development Center and professor of education at
the University of North Carolina.
James J. Gallagher, a member of the Penn State
Alumni Fellows Program, returned to the University this
week to share his ideas and professional experience in the
field of special education with the students and faculty of
the College of Education.
"I enjoyed meeting with the students and talking to
them about what I'm doing now research on the
handicapped student," Gallagher said.
Gallagher is very involved in the effort to encourage
handicapped awareness and said he has devoted a great
deal of his professional life to this endeavor.
People who do not have experience with handicapped
persons are often uncomfortable when they come in
contact with them, he said. In trying to break down some of
the stereotypes often associated with handicapped persons
the major problem lies not with the handicapped students
and children, Gallagher said, but with the non-hand
icapped adults.
"People who don't have experience with handicapped
children are in one degree or another often frightened of
them," Gallagher said. "Many people react by saying,
`Out of sight, out of mind I'd rather not deal with this
embarassing situation.' "
ing anyway.
"In a professional program, the school should
try to maintain the number of its graduates with
the number of jobs available," he said.
The new admission requirements do not affect
students who are fourth term or over and who
were enrolled as undeclared majors in the College
of The Liberal Arts or in the Division of Under
graduate Studies prior to April 1.
For all other students requesting to enter the
advertising major, the minimum 3.0 GPA applies.
This affects all freshmen admitted to the Univer
sity during Fall Term 1980 or later, all transfer
students and all students who wish to change their
major.
Paulson said the new admission standards will
not necessarily be permanent.
"This is what we're compelled to do now," he
said. "We'll have to see how it will work out."
Some of the students now enrolled as advertis
ing majors had mixed views about the new
requirements.

"I think if it's that crowded you could either set
a higher limit on your GPA or else close the school
like the College of Business did," Jody Esposito
(13th-advertising) said. "It's better than closing
the school.
"(The GPA standard) does seem pretty high,
though," he added. "It's going to make hell for a
lot of people."
Randi Baringoldz (9th-advertising) said she
agrees with the new admission requirements.
"I definitely think it's a good idea," she said.
"It would filter out a lot of people."
Barbara Inghram (12th-advertising) said she
also thinks the new standards are fair.
"I agree with the GPA, but I don't see why we
have to have the language requirement to de
clare," she said. "Also, I think they should be a
little more lenient with transfer students.
Barbara Renzi (6th-advertising) said she does
not agree with the GPA standards. •
"It's okay if you have a 3.0," she said.
Fortunately, he said, the situation has been changing
over the past 20 years. He said the state of Pennsylvania
has been a forerunner in promoting awareness that hand
icapped citizens have a right to be educated in the public
school system.
"The key legal decision in this area was made right
here in Pennsylvania several years ago in a court hearing
with the Pennsylvania Association for Retarded Citizens
against the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
"Essentially what came out of that decision was that
the courts agreed that the Constitution says that every
child in the state should get a public education," Gallagher
said.
"As the lawyers at that hearing said, there's no comma
behind that 'every child.'. It doesn't say, 'every child
except those who are handicapped.' It says 'every child.' "
Gallagher also said the federal government has played
a key role in the growing sensitivity to the rights of the
handicapped student.
"The federal government has tried to get institutions
like this (the University) and others around the country to
knock down the barriers, the physical barriers," he said.
As the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Planning, Re
search •and Evaluation for the U.S. Office of Education
from 1969 to 1970, Gallagher said he learned a great deal
about Washington bureaucracy and its dealings with the
funding of handicapped educational programs. He said
those experiences have caused him to view the present
proposed federal funding cuts with some concern.
