Economic growth may be affected by
the declining interest in foreign lang
auges and the lack of knowledge of other
countries, the dean of the College of The
Liberal Arts said at commencement
exercises on Saturday.
"We are linked so closely to what
happens in other countries that we can
not live without them," said Stanley F.
Paulson.
'n the years ahead, we need to know a
great deal more about other countries
and understand them if we are going to
work with them. International education
ha 4 become a new national need."
Our international links include foreign
imports, investments, communications
an security, Paulson said.
Vespite our interdependency on other
cultures and nations, Americans know
toci little about other languages, ways of
thipking and interests, he said.

Besides trade value, Paulson said,
foreign language study is important for
dealing with problems Americans share

Trustees OK $666,000 renovation project '
32 buildings will undergo accessibility changes for the handicapped
By DINA DEFABO
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
The University Board of Trustees has approved
final plans to make 32 buildings at University Park
more accessible to the handicapped.
The $666,000 project, which will be funded by the
Commonwealth's Department of General Services as
part of a handicapped accessibility funding program
for state colleges and state-related universities, is
scheduled to begin early next year.
At its Nov. 20 meeting, the board announced that
modifications will be made to elevator controls,
water fountains, restroom facilities and doors. En
trance ramps will also be added.
The board is expected to approve sketch plans for
the construction in May.
The buildings to undergo improvements are: Agri
cultural Engirieering, Aithouse, Animal 'lndustries,
Arts, Boucke, Business Administration, Carnegie and
Carpenter.
Also: Chambers, Chandlee, Dieke, Electrical Engi
neering, Forum, Frear, Hammond, Human Devel
opment, Kern and McAllister buildings.
Also: Mechanical Engineerig, Mineral Science,
Mueller, Music, Noll, Osmond, Rackley, Rec Hall,
Sackett, Tyson, Visual Arts; Walker, Whitmore and
Willard buildings.
At the meeting of the board's Committee on Fi
nance, Steve A. Garban, University vice president
and controller, presented a financial report of Uni
versity current funds for 1980-1981.
According to the report, 27.7 percent of University
funds come from the state, 22 percent from student
tuition and charges, 19 percent from auxiliary enter
prises, 13.4 percent from the, federal government, 8.9
percent from the Hershey Medical Center hospital,

Abortion bills reappear
House members expect anti-abortion bills to pass
By RON WATERS
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
After an anti-abortion package of bills was killed in a state
House committee two months ago, its supporters vowed the
fight was not over. They were right.
House members who both .favor and oppose the legislation
expect the bills to pass in the House when the matter comes to a
vote Tuesday.
"I had said predictably that the overwhelming majority of
the House members would support this legislation," said prime
sponsor Rep. Gregg L. Cunningham, R-Centre County, "and
that we had one committee that's membership was not reflec
tive of the view of the entire House. And anyone who knows
anything about the legislature agreed with that."
A member of the Hous , Health and Welfare Committee that
rejected the bill, Rep. Joseph Hoeffel, D-Montgomery County,
said although he expects the package to pass, it will not have
the full support of those members with anti-abortion voting
records.
"When one considers the 150 to 50 traditional breakdown on
anti-abortion bills, Gregg's point is well taken," Hoeffel said.
"However, several members:who voted against it (in commit
tee) have pro-life voting records "
The committee narrowly defeated the bill 13-11 on grounds
that portions of the bills were unconstitutional and vaguely
written.
The bills' sponsors and supporters say such legislation is
needed to protect women from biased counseling received at
commercial abortion centers,
"Abortion is a multi -million-dollar industry," said Garnett
Biviano, chairwoman of the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation.
"Any moneymaking industry of that proportion ought to be
controlled." '
She said 65,000 abortions. were performed in the state last
year, which is an increase of 35 percent since 1975. She
attributed the increase to the profit incentive of the abortion
clinics.
Cunningham said testimony at three public hearings, held in
September, indicated that women were being victimized when
they were in an emotionally vulnerable state.
"Some of the wildest, most incredible allegations I've ever
heard in my life have been made concerning this legislation and
it's very clear to me that the commercial abortionists feel that
they stand to lose a great deal in terms of their commercial
interests," he said.
"They understand very clearly that the more information
that a woman gets the more likely'she is not to agree to have
one. So it's against their economic interests," he said.
Among the more controversial measures that have been
removed from the bill were reqiiirements that color photo
graphs of fetuses be made available to women seeking abor
tions, that death certificates be issued for aborted fetuses and
that the fathers of the aborted fetuses be notified.
Also, a mandatory 72-hour waiting period from the time a
woman requested an abortion until the time it could be
performed was reduced to 24 hours.
Despite the changes, Hoeffel still questioned the bills' consti
tutionality. He said four statutes requiring waiting periods

before an abortion can be performed have been struck down in
the past year by four federal courts of appeal, which are one
step below the Supreme Court. Three were for 24-hour periods
and one was a 48-hour period, he said
"The Supreme Court has consistently ruled that the state
may not interfere with the decision-Making process unless a
compelling interest exists, such as regulating health facilities
and choosing which medicines to use," he said.
Cunningham said teams of constitutional lawyers have
studied the bills and the wording of the bills should survive any
reasonable test. He said different courts have ruled differently
on the same issue.
Bridget Whitley, president of the state National Organization
for Women, said the bills go beyond restricting' abortions
performed in clinics.
"This bill hag' an impact on birth control because such
devices as the lUD (intrauterine device) are in danger, if you
match the definition of abortion with the bill. , Nothing in the bill
mentions birth control, but it is certainly in the back of their
minds."
However, the bills define abortion as the termination of a
clinically diagnosable pregnancy, Cunningham said, thus ex
cluding birth control devices.
Another provision proving controversial is the decision
whether a fetus can survive outside the womb. If either the
doctor performing the abortion or a health board determines
that the fetus might survive outside the womb, then the
presence of a second doctor would be required. The method of
abortion most likely to result in a live birth then must be used.
"The abortionists don't like to admit the idea that babies are
being allowed to die after they're being born alive as a result of
botched abortions," Cunningham said.
Included in planned abortion amendmentS, added to a Senate
bill that would outlaw "tough man" boxing events, is the
provision requiring that abortion centers keep accurate public
records of the type of procedures used and the circumstances
surounding each abortion such as the woman's age, marital
status and the , number of previous pregnancies. Names would
remain confidential.
Also included in the amendments is a provision that any
individual or group can sue to prevent a clinic from conducting
an abortion.
"Anybody can file suits that enjoin any action that anybody
else is about to perform," Cunningham said. "That's always
been the law."
However, those provisions threaten every center in the state
with "witch hunts," Hoeffel said.
'Pro-life groups can'pick out any case they want, go to court
and try to shut down the center," he said. "It's bizarre beyond
words. ' I'm not against reporting in theory, but when you
combine it with private action it scares me."
The package also prohibits government owned or operated
clinics and hospitals from performing abortions, except if the
mother's life is endangered or the pregnancy is a result of rape
or incest.
"This is good law," Cunningham said. "It reflects the
orientation of the majority of the Commonwealth. It is what
they demand. So it was inevitable that this was going to pass."
