Stone Valley
Murphy:
By ANNE CONNERS
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
One of the University's most popular recreation areas,
Stone Valley, has serious funding, operational and capital
problems and a University-wide student committee should
be formed to come up with . some solutions, the vice
president for student affairs said yesterday.
At yesterday's meeting of the University Student Advi
sory Board, Raymond 0. Murphy said• he and Karl G.
Stoedefalke, acting dean of the College of Health, Physical
Education and Recreation, are very interested in meeting
with student leaders to work on solving these problems.
Murphy said the senior study a report conducted by
the Office of Student Affairs revealed that students rate
Stone Valley as the most highly respected and frequently
known facility at the University.
"Stone Valley is a common denominator it is not a
special concern of•USG, GSA or the fraternities it's a
community facility within the University so it's a common
problem," he said.
The SAB committee would probably be organized Winter
Term, during which time the problems could be discussed
in more detail, he said
Different views of how•to form "A Student Plan For the
'Bos," were also presented at the meeting.
USG President Bill Cluck said SAB should form the plan.
But Organization for Town Independent Students Preii
dent Bob Karp said the .plan would be a waste of SAB's
time.
"It's a real concern of ours not to make SAB an
administrative body," he said. "The value of SAB is
information shared and the ability to talk."
After the plan was completed, it could be brought back to
SAB and be discussed with University Provost Edward D.
Eddy or University President John W. Oswald, Karp said.
Interfraternity Council President Dave Dixon said each
organization should draw up its own plan and then synthe
size it into one plan.
While Murphy said student participation in the Universi
ty Perspective for the 'Bos, was not all that spectacular, he
commended the student leaders for beginning a student
plan.
"It's a brilliant opportunity in future planning for all of
you to take a look at the future direction of the University,"

he said
The structure of SAB was also critically looked at by
board members with Murphy telling student leaders that
their input did have an impact on University policy.
"Substantially, it makes a difference more than you
think although it's a little hard to prove it at times," he
said.
However, Murphy said too much of SAB's time has been
spent on informational topics rather than discussing Uni-:
versity issues.
"If sessions are an informational barrage, the president,
provost and I know all that information, and it's important
for you to know, but that part doesn't do anything for the
administration," he said.
Association of Residence Hall Students President Chris
Calkins said he would be interested in setting up a semi
formal meeting, with Murphy, Oswald and Eddy to get
feedback outside of SAB.
Murphy said he would recommend the administration
follow Calkins' advice.
Stoedefalke and Director of Athletics Operations W.
Herbert Schmidt were also present at the meeting to
answer questions about athletic concerns.
Paul Bell, student representative to the University
Board of Trustees, asked if the switch of the athletic
department budget from ' Stoedefalke's authority to Vice
President of Finance Robert A. Patterson had altered the
quality of athletics.
"The only change that has occurred is money which
you shouln't worry about," he said. Stoedefalke also said
both the athletic department and the college were Working
for the good of the student.
The first priority in scheduling use of athletic facilities is
academics, he said.
"The No.l priority within this University is that instruc
tion is number one and at no time is an event scheduled
which interferes with classes."
Cluck said that many students complain to USG or ARHS
about the track being off-limits while the men's or wom
en's basketball teams practice from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m.
But Schmidt said reserving the track was not a new
process because it used to be reserved for the men's track .

Center receives 84 responses
to request for foreign. TA estimate
By ELLYN HARLEY,
, Daily Collegian Staff Writer
The Center for English as a Second
Language has received 84 responses to
about 160 letters it sent asking University
program and department heads to esti
mate the number of foreign graduate
students they expect to send to the center
foi — evaluation, center director John
Hinds said.
"We asked the departments to respond
to the letters regardless of whether they
expected to have any foreign teaching
assistants for Winter Term," he said.
"Even though most of the responses we
got were zero (to be tested), it is helpful
for us to know that."
The letters were sent out as part of the
new testing and evaluation program in
stituted Fall Term to comply with a
Faculty Senate resolution passed on in
April.
The '.resolution requires department
heads to obtain an evaluation of commu
nicative proficiency from the center for
graduate student teaching assistants
whose first language is not English and
who will have responsibilities for instruc
tion in lecture, recitation or practicum,
Hinds said.
Although the Faculty Senate resolution
originally required all international tea
ching assistants be tested, , personnel and
financial limitations have forced the cen
ter to restrict the testing process to new
foreign students scheduled to teach, or
students who have been at the University
but have never assumed instructional
roles, Hinds said.
Thus, foreign Tics who have taught at
least one term prior to Fall Term 1981
may still have communicative difficul
ties; however, evaluation of these stu-
dents would be at the discretion of the
f ildilridual departments, Hinds said.

within departments as to who is required
to be tested under the new program.
Many departments, including math
ematics, statistics, and agricultural en
gineering departments, reported they
have no new foreign teaching assistants
scheduled to teach Winter Term.
Director of Graduate Studies for the
mathematics department, Christine W.
Ayoub, said no foreign TAs are scheduled
to teach math for the first time Winter
Term.
"If you look over the list you would
think there should be but there aren't
that's just the way it turned out this
term."
One new foreign student will be 'teach
ing mathematics this term but she re
ceived her undergraduate degree at
Capitol Campus and is fluent in English,
Ayoub said.
Mathematics department head George
E. Andrews said the department also has
its own evaluation and screening pro
gram that all TAs must go through.
Students not qualified to teach are as
signed to other tasks until they are ready
to teach.
Both agricultuial engineering depart
ment head Harold V. Walton and statis
tics department head William L.
Harkness said their degrtments do not
make a practice of using international
TAs in classes and they do not have any
students who should be sent to the center.
Walton said he is using only three TAs
this academic year, and Harkness said
'his department has one TA from Mexico
who has been at the University for three
years and has taught classes previously.
The center is scheduled to test 33
students to determine who should enroll

In the "Report on the Evaluation of
International Instructional Teaching As
sistants," about the Fall Term testing
program,,Hinds said "We are distressed
by two developments: one, many tdepart
ments did not take advantage of our
service; and two, many departments
have chosen to ignore our recommenda
tions
"We recommend first that the Center
for ESL evaluate international instruc
tional TAs only if the recommendations
of the center are heeded. We have in
vested a considerable amount of time
and energy in this program."
In response to the center's report, the
Undergraduate Student Government
passed a resolution to write a letter in
conjunction with the USG Academic As
sembly to Vice President for Undergrad
uate Studies Robert E. Duham.
The letter will state support for the
Faculty Senate bill and will offer assis
tance in making the process adhered to
by department heads, USG Town Senator
Alan Massaro said.
Chris Hopwood, president of USG's
Academic Assembly, said the assembly
has almost exactly the same resolution
pending.
Dunham said he thought punitive ac
tion towards departments is not nec
essary for this year while the program ;
"gets the bugs out," but may be a possi
bility starting
,next Fall if departments
are not complying.
Dunham said students should under
stand that because the program is new,
has limited resources, and because
Hinds did not arrive at the University
until August 15, the program cannot test
every TA and cannot "accomplish mira
cles overnight."

Military buildup would increase
nuclear threat, professor says
1 1
By TONY PHYRILLAS
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
A military buildup, such as the one
proposed by the Reagan Administration,
would severely dislocate our domestic
economy and compound economic in
equalities of Third World nations in
creasing the potential for a nuclear
holocaust, a University assistant profes
sor of economics said yesterday.
Speaking at the day-long Convocation
on the Threat of Nuclear War, held in the
HUB, James B. Stewart said economic
inequalities ,in the poorer nations of the
world can be attributed to the selling of
military hardware and technology by the
richer countries such as the United
States and France.
"These Third World nations have been
sold on the idea of military prestige at
the expense of their economic devel
opment," Stewart said.
"The military hardware and increased
Most Pa. counties provide soil help
By REBECCA CLARK
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
Of the 67 counties in Pennsylvania, 66 are conservation
districts providing free service to district citizens in inspect
ing and evaluating soil, water and other earth related problems
the district manager for the Centre County Conservation
District said.
Rollin V. Clark, who is also the erosion and sedimentation
inspector for the Centre County Conservation District, said
Philadelphia County is the only county in Pennsylvania that is
not a conservation district. But it is in the process of becoming
one, he said.
According to a newsletter distributed by the Centre County
district, the purpose of conservation districts is to develop
activities to solve land and water problems and to gather
support from citizens and private groups in „order to aid in
solving land-related problems in the various counties.
"We help people to develop and correct plans for earthmov
ing activities," he said
Although conservation districts do not work directly with
bottle collecting and other recycling drives, they do help to
promote such activities, Clark said.
Some major concerns of the various conservation districts
are the development of conservation plans for landowners and

technology that we sell them is the only
thing keeping their governments in pow
er. There is a tremendous potential for
conflicts among these Third World na
tions, and the threat of nuclear holocaust
is with us as more and more countries
acquire the technology," he said.
Another growing problem, Stewart
said, is the spread of nuclear weapons to
nations in conflict such as Israel and
South Africa.
"There's no international regulation
for these nations. They increase the
threat of use of nuclear weapons in a
conflict," he said.
Stewart said the public must put more
pressure on the government, and stock
holders should pressure the multi-nation
al corporations that manufacture these
weapons.
"The ownership of these corporations
must take on a greater social responsibil
ity. These multi-national corporations

newsletter stated.
The newsletter included other areas of concern such • as
timber management, development of conservation practices
and wildlife management, development of conservation educa
tion, preservation of agricultural land as well as the promotion
of exhibits and tours.
Some of the agencies that assist the various conservation
districts are the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, U.S.
Department of Agriculture and the state Department of Envi
ronmental Resources.

should be•willing to make a few percent
age points lower profit for the guarantee
of the survival of the human' race,"
Stewart said.
Stewart said that a huge military build
up has disastrous effects on the Ameri
can economy.
"Voting for a huge defense budget is
also voting indirectly for higher unem
ployment, higher inflation, a shortage of
raw materials, and a shortage of highly
trained technical personnel," he said.
"The more resources that go into nu
clear weapons, the fewer resources are
left to satisfy consumer demand more
dollars chasing fewer consumer goods,"
he said.
"And the money that goes to weapons
stays within the military-industrial•com
plex. Income that goes into consumer
goods is recirculated in the economy."
The oppurtunity costs of spending mon
ey of the military instead of consumer
goods are much too high, Stewart said.
Stewart said, on a comparative basis,
Pennsylvania is the sth largest loser of
jobs among all the states due to military
spending by the U.S.
