o—The Daily Collegian Monday, May 18, 1981 The Nittany Lion Inn is celebrating its 50th anniversary of providing fine food, service and accommodations for the University, State College community and visitors. The Inn: By DINA DEFABO Daily Collegian staff Writer Celebrating 50 years of service, the University's Nittany Lion Inn has grown to be more than a fine hotel. It is an institution offering a variety of programs to University students and the State College community as well. While providing a "home of hospi tality" for many returning alumni and visiting guests, the 150-room Inn also serves as a meeting place for many campus organizations and a "classroom" for students studying Food Service and Housing Adminis tration. General Manager William G. Bohm said each summer, four FSHA stu dents gain first-hand experience working at the colonial-style Inn and observing the operational processes. "Also, in conjunction with several courses, we have tours of the facilities and I participate as a guest lecturer in the FSHA program," he said. In addition, Bohm said his assistant manager teaches an FSHA course that is given on the premises of the Inn.

"Our objective is to run one of the finest institutions in the country," said Bohm. Although there are no plans for expanding the Inn's 150-room capaci ty, Bohm said the management and staff are involved in a very extensive program for upgrading the existing facilities both. from an operational and decorative point of view. As one service to the community, the Inn, which is located at the north east corner of campus, offers a din ner-theatre program in conjunction with the Artists Series and Nittany Mountain Summer. The 75-room building was founded by the then-Penn State College to meet the needs of the growing college and to accommodate the increasing number of visitors. The ground-breaking Ceremony for the University-owned hotel and res taurant, financed through the issu ance of $350,000 in gold notes l was held on May 1, 1930. The L. G. Treadway Service Corp. first *rated the Inn under the gener al management of John LeVine. After LeVine transferred to another , Tread way chain in 1932, John Lee became general manager of the Inn. The Treadway Corp. managed the Inn until 1947 when the University became the sole operator of the Inn and direct ly hired the manager. In 1958, Louis E. Silvi succeeded Lee and served as general manager until 1977 when the Inn's present man ager, William G. Bohm, took over. Although the Inn featured maple furnishings in some guest rooms and green-painted metal bedsteads in oth ers, the Inn was considered the ulti mate in luxury. Today, the Inn is 'furnished with elegant colonial-style decor and is still considered the ultimate in luxury. Over the years, the Inn has seen the nation survive many good and bad eras and has had to "change with the times" to keep up with the trends. In 1938, ads in the Daily Collegian told of lunches for 50 to 60 cents and dinners for 65 to 75 cents. CE 4,1) 4 °C ' Et ‘IS MoN.

Because repairs have to be made on eroding concrete around the top edge of the'pool. The reconstruction poses a problem, George Lovette, assis tant vice president of business, said: "Whether to do temporary repairs that would allow the pool to reopen around the end of June, or to do extensive reconstruction that would solve the problem permanently but close the pool for the entire' sum mer." The result of the structural movement of the concrete i inevitable damage to the overflow drainage system of the Both possibilities are being examined and construction outdoor pool, located next to the McCoy Natatorium on Bigle; estimates are being made. Lovette said that the chief concern Road is safety The costs are $40,000 for the temporary repairs and $150,000 for the permanent reconstruction. But even if the temporary repairs are done by the end of the season, the University will still have to spend the $150,000, Lovette said. Asked if these Minor programs passed Faculty Senate needs to OK major supplement plan By DIANNE GARYANTES Daily Collegian Staff Writer For all of those students who have been putting together their own minor pro grams to supplement their majors, the University may begin to recognize you. A proposal for the implementation of minor programs was unanimously passed by the Faculty Senate Committee on Curricular Affairs last week and will be introduced to the Faculty Senate floor at its June meeting. Robert W. Carrubba, chairman of the Senate Committee on Curricular Affairs, said he thought the program is a good idea. "We see this as an improvement," Carrubba said. "So far we've had a very positive response." If the proposal is passed by the senate, it will then go on to the provost's office for approval. The provost could make his decision on the matter this summer, said Eugene R. Melander, a member of the senate committee who acts as a liaison between the committee and the Universi ty administration. . If the provost's office approves the proposal, it will be implemented with the switch to the semester system, Melander said. The proposal defines the minor pro gram as a certified specialization of at 0 Int UtSt least 18 credits with at least six credits on the 400-level that supplements a major.

"Penn State's current usage of such terms as 'non-major option' and `emphasis' is not typical in program definitions for undergraduate curric ula." "Minor is a term which will be nation- ally understood," Carrubba said. If the proposal is passed, each pro gram and department will have the op tion of whether to offer the minor or not, Carrubba said. "It would be our expectation that each program and department would wish to offer a minor," he said.

Although the room of the municipal building where the State College Munici pal Council meets is rarely more than half full, the council is the highest local governing body in State College, and its decisions affect all State College resi dents, including students. "I'm sure students are affected by council," Council President Mary Ann Haas said. "Some of our regulations such as code enforcement and the type of development allowed add to their cost of living because the buildings are more expensive, but in the end it pays off because students are safer. "We always seem to have the student population in mind," she said, "whether as a nuisance or as a force to be reckoned with and who we must take into consider ation." For instance, she said, the ordinance that prohibits noise after 1 a.m. was enacted with the students in mind. "I'm sure many people would like us to say 9:30 or 10:00, but 1 a.m. seemed reasonable for a population of this kind. "Our borough police must be specially trained," she said, "so that a situation is not just a confrontation but one in which a good judgment is made." . , Mayor Arnold Addison said he agrees I )7.‘ that students are considered when the ,i . council makes decisions. , ~, "Some items on the agenda which might come up in May or June which affect students are postponed until De -1 cember so the students can have input," he said. According to State College's Home the • rimari State College government Rule Charter, adopted in 1973, "all pow ers of the muncipality," unless otherwise specified by the charter, are vested in the council. "The council's job is to set policy and establish laws for the general health and welfare of the community," Haas said. She sees the council's role as one of a caretaker "in an extended family sense." "We take care of the physical property of the borough, set policy for its devel opment and maintain the aesthetic stan dards of the borough," she said. Council p powers as defined in the charter include the enacting and repeal ing of ordinances; creating and abolish ing bodies and offices such as authorities, boards, commissions and agencies; appointing and removing members of governing bodies and of fices; purchasing property; and design ing and adopting a yearly budget. Few limitations are put on the council other than public sentiment. "Council is pretty responsive to the . public," Haas said. "As elected officials we must hear people out." When public sentiment is strong and often divided, the council must deter mine what the majority wants, she said. "We have to weigh whether a view is pressed by a group which has had the chance to get organized while others may have not," Haas said, "or whether it's a true expression of what we feel is the majority opinion." The State College drug paraphernalia ordinance, enacted in October and re cently struck down in U.S. District Court, was one such issue. "No one was united on what was the ' best way to enact a drug paraphernalia law," Haas said. "The council knew our ordinance wasn't the best way but we thought it would hold." Haas said she hopes the change to the semester system will give students more time to get involved in local government. Addison said he would like to see stu dent leaders push to get more students on authorities, boards and commissions. "Students can make a contribution whether it's for one, two or three years," he said. "We've had students on the planning commission who have been great. "By getting involved, they're getting some damned good basic training to take to other communities in later life," Addi son said. Inside Primary 'Bl Tomorrow; Centre County voters will choose the people who will run in the November general elections for governing and judicial positions in their communities. in this section The Daily Collegian presents interviews and information on candidates for county, municipal and three township races. The sec tion also includes a list of ,polling places and a map to assist voters in finding where to vote. In State College, three seats are open on the municipal council, and 14 candidates appear on the ballots seven Republicans and seven Democrats. The Collegian also has included the two Consumer Party candidates in its coverage of the municipal council race, and a story on Page 22 explains the Consumer Party's polit ical situation locally. The council race and the people vying for the positions on the council are examined on Page 23. Issues range from taxi cabs to drug par aphernalia. On Page 24, the Collegian, exam ines the mayoral race although Mayor's role limited By LORRAINE ORLANDI Daily Collegian Staff Writer On Arnold Addison's desk is a yellow plaque with "TAXI" printed in black. "Some•friends gave me that," he said. Then he pointed to the miniature taxi on his desk a gift from his family; and the coffee mug, the same yellow as the plaque, with the same "TAXI" lettered on from the secretaries in the office. When the State . College Municipal Council voted in 1979 to purchase what incumbent Arnold Addison is vir tually guaranteed re-election be cause many issues still exist in the municipality that the mayor must deal with. Other articles on Page 24 discuss the State College Area School Board race and the "wet or diy" issue in College Township. Starting on Page 25, the Collegian profiles the candidates for Centre County common pleas court and Centre County district attorney. Four candidates, all crossfiling, are running for the judgeship, while three Republicans and one Demo crat are running for district attor ney. The races in College, Ferguson and Patton townships are also exam ined on page 19. Students in Stuart, Snyder, Hastings and Stone are resi dents of College Township. Several large student apartment complexes are located in Ferguson and Patton townships. The Collegian hopes its readers will use this section to study the issues and vote responsibly tomor- i f S was the Golden Cab Co. which is now the Centre Cab Co., Mayor Addison opposed But, under the home rule charter adopted by State College in 1976, the mayor has no vote. He has the power to veto, a veto which can be overridden by two-thirds of the council. And he has the responsibility of presiding over munici pal council meetings. Other than these, his function is mainly ceremonial. But Addison said he feels the mayor of State College is obligated to voice his opinions, especially when they differ from those of the council. "The mayor can represent a different voice from the council," he said. "It would be completely unacceptable to me to take on the role of mayor as the senior citizen of the community, the nice old guy that shows up here and there and is not required to have anything to say." But the role of the mayor in a munici pality is not one of initiating legislation, he said. "We are a weak-mayor system," he said. "Although, certainly the mayor has the right to suggest legislation, as any citizen. "The mayor can, as this one does, comment on what the council does, be cause in addition to being the mayor he is also a citizen," Addison said. "I will have my say. "I recognize the right of the council to make policies and laws," he said, "but I also recognize my right to disapprove of policies or veto laws." Addison said he does not regret the fact that he has no vote on the council or that 'his veto can be overridden. "If I weren't able to express an opinion on why I don't think an ordinance is good I'd be much more disturbed," he said. "If I object to anything the citizens know I will complain about it. Council President Mary Ann Haas said a veto by the mayor "makes us (the council members) think a little harder." Monday, May 18 21 Addison said he thinks the citizens in State College knew what his position was on the purchase of the taxi company, and he said he thinks many citizens support ed him. But the fact remains State College has a taxi company. The Centre Cab Co. has been operating at a deficit since its purchase last year. Above the miniature taxi on his desk Addison has placed a sign -- "For Sale." "I'm just as unhappy with the decision now as when they bought it," he said. "But I'm not going to beat a dead horse," he said. "I'll argue to beat hell if I think I have a • point, but once the decision is made I'll go on to something else." Addison said he thinks another prima ry function of the mayor is that - of ombudsman one who handles public relations, represents the citizens and handles complaints. "I represent the community at a vari ety of functions, affecting several seg ments of the community," he said. For instance, Addison said he recently spoke to a group of foreign students at the University about local government. He also recently gave a lecture to a group of fifth graders at the municipal building. And he represented the community at this year's ROTC Army Ball, "with tuxe do." Addison said he personally reviews complaints from citizens about citations for parking violations and weed and snow removal violations. "I have the authority to dismiss the case," he said, "and where extenuating circumstances justify it, I don't hesitate to do it." Haas said she agrees that the role of ombudsman is an important one for the mayor. Addison said he thinks his relationship with the council in his three• and half years as the mayor has been "up and down."
