The Daily Collegian's editorial opinion is determined by
The University, for scheduling finals on Memorial Day, its Board of Opinion, with the editor-in-chief holding final
enraging many students who would otherwise spend the responsibility.
..-reader o
Oh, yeah?
The Faculty Senate passed legislation at the
May meeting that made several significant
changes in the definition' and procedures of
advising. The editorial opinion in the May 13
issue of The Daily Collegian contained factual
errors and misrepresented the intent of the
changes.
The editorial incorrectly reported that "legis
lation passed by the Senate releases faculty
members from the burdensome responsibility of
autographing pre-registration, course repetition
or pass/fail forms." This is not true. Faculty
advisers will continue to sign tlfese forms under
:the new legislation.
The editorial implied that the effect of the
legislation would be to sanction a "do-nothing"
role for the adviser. To the contrary, the report
clearly states that the intent of the new legis
lation is to emphasize the central role of the
adviser as a consultant to students. The new
policy, is one of required consultation and there is
nothing in the report that implies that advisers
should spend less time or take their advising
duties less seriously. The report spells out specif
ically what the adviser should do and what the
student can expect from the adviser.
The primary purpose of the report was to
change the nature of advising from denying or
granting the approval to that of providing consul
tation to students. The following is a brief sum
mary of the total report.
From the rationale section of the report: "An
emphasis on the role of consultation in advising
should not be perceived as reducing the impor
tance of advising: To the contrary, a focus on
consultation should emphasize that the central
role of the adviser is to provide information and
advice relevant to the short and long term goals
of the student. An emphasis on the approval/di
sapproval rating of the adviser can be an obsta
cle to achieving effective advising.
A new Section 32-10 in the Student Handbook
will state: "In an academic advising program
where consulative relationships exist between
students and advisers, some students propose
actions with which the academic adviser cannot
agree. In spch cases, advisers are responsible
for informing students of the appropriate course
of action. Nevertheless, final decisions relative
to course scheduling and program planning are
the students', and they must assume responsibil
ity for such decisions. . . ."
A new Section 32-20 states the functions of the
adviser under five major categories: informa
tion giving, short-range program planning, long
range planning, conveying the purposes of the
University, and student referral.
A new Section 32-90 in the Student Handbook
Will list the specific responsibilities of advisees,
including keeping an up-to-date record of pro
gram requirements fulfilled, informing advisers
of important changes in plans, completing pre
registration, being familiar with published aca
demic rules and regulations, and discussing with
the adviser notices of unsatisfactory academic
performance.
All University forms on which adviser signa
tures are required will be changed to eliminate
any reference to the approval/disapproval func
tion of the adviser. The faculty adviser will sign
the form to indicate that consultation has taken
place and will indicate whether or not the student
and adviser agreed on the proposed course of
action.
The final section of the report makes five

changes in five different places in the Student
Handbook: ,
.
`'"ln‘bah placewhe're there was a" reference to
the approval/diiapproval role of the adviser, the
wording is changed to indicate the consultative
function of the adviser.
If this report is properly interpreted and if
faculty members and students apply the intent of
this legislation, the results should be improved
adviser/advisee relationships and a clearer un
derstanding of the responsibilities of both stu
dents and faculty members in the advising
process.

Oh, no
Three cheers for your editorial opinion on
Wednesday May 13. Academic advising has bit
the dust and no one seems to care. The decision
by the Faculty Senate promotes the not uncom
mon attitude of some faculty members that
undergraduate students are mediocre, as a
whole, and do not warrant any concern.
The move by the Senate should have been
toward making academic advising benefit the
students, rather than serving as the resume
stuffer for tenure applicants it has become.
An academic adviser, by virtue of simply
having to sign a form, is involved in a student's
curriculum. Why couldn't The Senate have man
dated that advisers make and keep an appoint
ment once a year with their advisees to review
and set goals, that advisers speak understand
able English and teach at least introductory
courses in their departments?
With a positive approach to faculty-student
relationships we might lose a lot less of those
students to schools where the student/faculty
ratio is at a realistic level, and retain a few more
of the borderline students who need a college
degree if they ever hope to overcome their
various disadvantages.
I am very disappointed in the Senate for their
decision. I know how terrible it is' to have a poor
adviser, but I also know how great it is to have a
really good one, especially when those mid-col
lege doubts hit and you need sound advice. I
suppose the next step for the Senate is to elimi
nate English-speaking professors entirely from
teaching undergraduate courses. It is about as
sound of an idea.

Racist
In the May 13 issue of The Daily Collegian, a
forum appeared titled "Behrend College treated
like a bunch of Indians."lt was written by an
undergraduate English major at Behrend, to
express his sadness over the lack of University
funding for facilities there. I am writing to
express my sadness over reading his article.
The writer, Joe Englert, chose to present his
facts combined with misinformed and racist
statements about American Indians. (That's
spelled with a capital "I", unlike the headline,
and I'm no English major.) The actual facts
contained in the article did not warrant one
quarter of the editorial page. I did not know of
Behrend's expansion attempt. I still don't. You

these programs, including a forum on racism in

Nor can I believe your attitude toward American
Indians, the "young savages." •
Joe, you think American Indians sit around
waiting for the day they can "call their own shots
and build their own teepees without reserva
tions." I think, "Will the human race last that
long?"
Where I've lived, people burn crosses on the
front lawns of houses. Hell, they burn houses.
One high . school teacher told us of-seeing a man
shot to death whom he'd talked with the minute
before. A friend of my sister's was stabbed to
death. He was 16. My next-door neighbor, at 16,
has been cursed, beaten, stabbed and had his
arm and glasses broken. Oh yes, and had paint
dumped over his blond hair.
Violence like this stems from ignorance and
racial prejudice. Joe, articles like yours only
perpetuate negative stereotypes. What seems
like a "cute cartoon" and "funny" story to you
becomes deadly serious outside this sheltered,
middle-class, White, Anglo-Saxon Protestant
community.

Ciao
This is our last term at Penn State, and since
the Penn State Alumni fund has asked graduat
ing seniors to donate , their general deposits, we
decided to look into the best uses for that money.
The funds could train Shields Building employ
ees in dealing with human beings. -Perhaps the
asbestos ceilings in West Halls could be replaced
with non-carcinogenic materials. What about
teaching foreign teaching assistants to speak
English? We could help convert dorms to coed
housing, so that graduating students could more
easily adjust to living next to people of the
opposite sex.
There are many more possibilities. Dining hall
workers could be taught the visual difference
between spinach and rats. We could buy hearing
aids for University administrators so they can
listen to student opinion.
Academics would benefit from the fund. Seini
nars could be organized to inform advisers about
the degree requirements for their colleges. The
faculty-student ratio could be improved by buy
ing more closed-circuit TVs. Best of all, we could
establish a fund to make Penn State tuition
affordable for middle-class student's.
All these worthwhile projects made us quite
eager to donate our general deposits. But then
we realized that our money would probably be
used to build monoliths on campus, instead of
helping future generations of students.
After carefully considering the above, and
after reflecting op all that the University has
done for us, we have made our decision: NO
THANK YOU, PENN STATE. WE ARE GOING
TO TAKE OUR DEPOSITS AND RUN!

What's your first thought when you hear the
word "choir?" Dull and boring? Not the "in"
thing? Long and operatic? How about the word
"devastating?"
Yes, "devastating" adequately describes
"choir," especially the choirs at the University.
Thanks to the steady hand of Maureen Carr and
her associates of the School of Music, the Penn
State Singers will not exist as a choral group. On
the basis of striving for perfection and excel
lence in choral groups, the School of Music has
erased what William Steinburg, former director
of the Pittsburgh Symphony, called "the best
choir in the world." Also, the Singers, after
performing a world premiere concert of •the
Dominick Argento sonatina, "Peter Quince at
the Clavier," received the following citation by
the Pennsylvania House of Representatives:
"Whereas, the Penn State Singers and their
founder, Raymond Brown, of the Pennsylvania
State University, have earned, since 1957, wide
repute for their degree of professionalism and
spontaniety in performances and through the
consistent quality and excellence of their perfor
mances, they have achieved recognition in the
arts for themselves, the University and the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania."
Recognition by the University? Scratching us
off the curriculum is the University's procedure
of acknowledgement. "Yeah, we know you're
excellent, but we're going to ditch you anyway."
That doesn't make sense, especially since the
School of Music wants to maintain excellence
and perfection. That is why we, the Penn State
Singers, are petitioning for a referendum to
retain the Singers as a scheduled University
course.
How does this affect you? Although you may
not be involved in choir, the basic principle still
stands: No matter how much the students want
something, the University won't do anything.
That principle can be seen in the rejection of the
coed housing plan submitted by the Association
of Residence Hall Students. If the University is
run by the students, then why don't we have a
voice in the final decision, especially when it
concerns our curriculum?
If you think that the present concept of the
University should be reversed, then you should
sign the petitions requesting that the Penn State
Singers be returned to the curriculum. If you
want to sign the petition, call Ron at 865-3213.
Who knows? It could happen to your organiza
tion next.

Reconsider
Upon reading the short notice in last Thurs
day's issue of The Daily Collegian concerning the
gun that was wrestled away from a University
Police Services officer, I couldn't help but feel
that Dr. Oswald and Dr. Eddy should reconsider
their decision to arm the campus police.
This is certainly not the first instance of
campus police mishandling their weapons. One
other prominent instance involved a gun going
off in Grange Building while being cleaned.
Aside' from discussing the relative competence
of campus policemen, is there any reason the
campus police need to carry guns? There doesn't

It is foolish to continue the use of guns in an
atmosphere where they are not necessary. This
will only increase the risk of another accide4t
occurring. Perhaps next time someone will be
injured.
I urge Dr. Oswald and Dr. Eddy to re-evaluatc
the gun situation. Have guns proven necessary
since their introduction in 1978? Are the reasons
for arming the police in 1978 still valid? Fqr
public safety on campus, these questions must be
answered.

Bob Marley
There were no candlelight ceremonies and no
special tributes over the local airwaves. In fact,
there Ivas scarcely any media coverage at all.
But the news spread quickly among lovers of his
Music that Bob Marley, the Black Prince of
Reggae, died of cancer last Monday night at the
age of 36. Although . his visceral Jamaican
rhythms and unorthodox religioUs beliefs were
not widely appreciated in the United States; the
message of his lyrids is one that spans all
cultures, all time. It is the message of peace,
freedom and equality for all people, but recog
nizing the necessity to fight "until there are no
longer first clasi and second class citizens of any
nation . . . until the color of a man's skin is of no
more significance than the color of his eyes."
There are many ways to be a warrior. Marley
chose the Ethiopian Lion's mane for his standard
and his own creative drive for a weapon. His stay
on the planet , is over. But like his God, like
Selassie, Marcus Garvey and freedom fighters
through history, Bob Marley lives, not just
through his politics but through the funky, spiri
tual beauty of his music. Walk in peace, Bob.

Spectacle
How many reasons are there for more than
I,ooostudents to gather in one place on an over
cast spring day? Waiting in line for dorm con
tracts, or perhaps free tickets to a rock concert?
Maybe, but neither of these were the case last
week when the crowd gathered to listen and
respond to the inciteful comments of Jed Smock,
Cindy Lasseter and company. '
The crowd booed and cheered almost contin
uously. Some offered retorts - most of which
were unprintable to Smock's criticisms of the
lifestyle of college students, which includes sex,
drugs and rock 'n' roll.
"John Lennon deserved to be shot," Smock
said admidst a chorus of boos. And he threatened
the crowd with a similar fate if they did not
accept the teachings of Jesus and discontinue
their sinful ways. •
Smock's methods may be attention-getting,
and they certainly do allow for crowd partici
pation, but are they really effective in accom
plishing the goals he desires?
Not many people in the crowd outside Schwab
Auditorium were interested in becoming born
again Christians. The atmosphere was far from
religious, and Smock's comments about things
like masturbation and homosexuality were hard
ly inspiring.
Smock did not limit his tirades to the college
students.
"All Hindus and Buddists will,spend eternity in
Hell because they do not believe Jesus Christ is
the son of God," he said.

What clergyman interested in religion for its
own sake would make such remarks?
If Jed Smock is really concerned with convert
ing people to Christianity or in having them
become born again, he should refrain from such
comments.
He should limit himself to appearing in places
like Eisenhower Chapel, where people sincerely
interested in his preachings could attend.
He should not continue to appear in public,
where he does little more than make a spectacle
of himself and Christianity.

Top 40 writers
This letter will probably never get printed in
the reader opinion section of The Daily Colle
gian. I hope it will be read by a couple , of
Collegian staff members and serve its purpose.
I agree thoroughly with Mark Bauer's (reader
opinion, May 6) assessment of the state of the
political scene in State College and would like to
extend this opinion to the Collegian, the Universi
ty's natural mouthpiece. They seem to be run
ning at the same speed, i.e. quasi-serious. Albeit,
I would be hardpressed to disagree that there is
prima facie evidence that the student body would
rather read about "Chugging for Charity" or
other innocuously inflamatory junk. Given that I
am a consistent reader of the Collegian, as I see
it, the amount of hard-core political analysis is
about as empty as a banker's heart.
Fortunately, I am not that naive, and it seems
all too clear that the Collegian staff members are
simply being good Top 40 journalists like their
mainstream media colleagues and are preparing
to follow in their secure footsteps. I would expect
that an academic envrionment would stimulate
an inquisitive and comprehensive analysis into
the causes and effects of issues, not merely cut
and-paste, technician-type reporting.

Hand-wringing
Few college newspaper columnists are known
for their championship of conservative views,
and on The Daily Collegian editorial page this
year the voice of resurgent conservatism has
been conspicuously absent amid the torrent of
liberalistic hand-wringing. Seldom has a day
passed of late without Mr. Protevi railing about
the evils of narrow-minded Reagan policies, or
Eco-Action describing the perfidious designs of
the nuclear power industry to set us all aglow, or
Ms. Salvatore ranting at women who choose to
slosh about in the mud for charity.
The usual editorial fare in the Collegian could
be transposed onto the page of The Daily Worker
with few alterations. To an outside reader,
unacquainted with the peculiarly detached life
style that dominates at Penn State, it must

appear from the opinions expressed on the
Collegian editorial page that the student body is
dominated by radical leftovers from a 1960 s riot,
who are bent on making the world safe for little
liberal children to split wood instead of atoms,
and on protecting the rest of the world from
perceived American decadence and militarism.
Those of us who read this left wing rubbish,
shake our head unbelievingly, and move on to the
crossword puzzle do ourselves discredit. The
University would benefit from a more balanced
presentation of views on the Collegian editorial
page. The writers would benefit from the oppor
tunity to examine and organize their opinions.
Certainly many more students believe that the
age of the Great Society is passed, that we need
more tanks and planes and missiles to defend our
country, that nuclear power is safe and nec
essary, than have expresed their views in print:
This year has seen an intermittent trickle of
opposition to the liberals' philosophy. I hope that
next year the trickle will grow into a flood.

Public radio
Sitting here reading the newspaper, I realize
how lucky we all are to have a generally free
flow of information and ideas4n our society. How
tremendously important a free and unfettered
press is to a community! One cannot help but
have at least some degree of faith in a wise
electorate.
In keeping with the theory that it's hard to get
too much of a good thing, I am very excited about
a new development in our community. A small
but growing group of people are working to get a
National Public Radio Station on the air in
central Pennsylvania. This radio station would
be a powerful 50,000 watt AM station featuring
cultural, informational, instructional, public af
fairs, music and news programing (similar to
the mixture of programing on WPSX-TV).
It would enjoy the benefits of the national
public radio network, plus have locally initiated
programing responsive to the needs of central
Pennsylvania. This station would not be similar
to or co-opt the purpose of WDFM.
I feel this would add another significant dimen
sion to the media here. Anyone who would like to
join the effort to get the station off the ground
and onto the air should come to 101 Wagner

The Undergraduate Student Government Aca
demic Assembly discussed the need for a "Fresh
Start" at a recent meeting. However, no decision
was made to fund the handbook/yearbook as of
yet. "Fresh Start" should be funded and made
'available to next year's freshmen because it is a
new, innovative idea that has great potential.
Amidst all the confusion and difficulties en
countered by the 1980-81 USG, the freshman
handbook/yearbook project ("Fresh Start")
was started. Although "Fresh Start" faced many
problems, such as arriving late due to printing
problems, the concept of providing information
to confused and unsettled students is a helpful
idea.
I hope to see the continuation of "Fresh Start"
in the years to come. It could easily become an
integral part of the orientation process.
