Violations can carry double jeopirdy
By RENAE lIARDOBY
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
If a student is charged on campus
with a violation of both Pennsylvania
law and the University's Code of Con
duct he can be tried twice for the
same offense.
"Students have an obligation to the
laws of the Commomwealth and the
laws, or policy, of the University,"
Tom Harmon, manager of University
Police Services, said. "In all cases
where a student is involved in miscon
duct or a violation, they are reported
to the Office of Conduct Standards,
and are therefore subject to discipli
nary action," Harmon said.
However, if the violation is one of
Pennsylvania law as well, campus
police will refer it to the State College
District Magistrate, Clifford 11.
Yorks, where the student will be sub
jected to action as would any state
resident, Harmon said.
For example, a student caught for
underage drinking on campus by Uni
versity police will automatically be
reported to the Office of Conduct
Standards and to the district magis
trate, Harmon said.
The student will have to he tried in
the Office of Conduct Standards, and
also has to appear before Yorks in a
hearing downtown to determine his
guilt or innocence.
Therefore, students can be tried
twice for the same offense or crime, if
they are caught and charged on cam
pus.
Although students have the most
problems with underage drinking,
they can be cited twice for a variety of
offenses, Harmon said. The most
common are criminal mischief, prop
erty damage and theft, he said. .
'...we're bound by University policy to take
action if we have knowledge of a student's
offense of that policy, even if the offense
occurred off the campus.'
But if a student is caught commit
ting a crime off campus and is
charged with a violation of Pennsyl
vania law and University rules, he is
not directly referred to the Office of
Conduct Standards by State College
police.
"We do not furnish any information
to anyone else," Lt. Jack Orndorf,
State College police officer, said.
Yet, students may be still cited and
tried twice with an offense that oc
curred off campus if Donald T. Suit,
director of the Office of Conduct Stan
dards, is made aware of it, Harmon
said.

Police logs, newspapers and stu
dents reporting other students for.
violations are sources of information
for his citing of students for off cam
pus violations of University policy,
Suit said.
Anything that is an immediate or
possible threat to the University, and
that comes to the attention of Suit, will
be dealt with according to the Univer
sity's Code of Conduct even if such
an offense occurs off campus, he said.
More serious offenses such as rape,
sale of a substantial quantity of drugs,
theft from another student and as
sault fall into the category of
threats, Suit said.
Even less serious violations occur
ring off campus such as a criminal
mischief charge for intentionally

nary sanction.
"The only inequitable thing is that
we're bound by University policy to
take action if we have knowledge of a
student's offense of that policy, even if
the offense occurred off the campus,"
Suit said.
Suit also said while he may review
transcripts of a student's hearing in
the magistrate's court, he is not per
mitted to consider that court's deci
sion when determining a student's
sanction.
"A student may be found guilty
downtown and innocent on campus,
and vice versa," Suit said. "And, he
can be found guilty twice, he said."
However, students aren't the only
people at the University who must
comply with both state laws and Uni
versity rules.
Faculty and other University per
sonnel are also obligated to adhere to
both sets of rules, Suit said.
Since students can be tried and
charged twice, they would have re
cords of their violations in the magis
trate's office and the Office of
Conduct Standards. These records are
kept for a certain period of time in
both offices.
"In our office, we keep all records,
regardless of type of offense, for three
years," a spokesman for the State
College magistrate's office said.
In the Office of Conduct Standards,
records are kept until the student
graduates. However, certain sanc
tions, or penalties, for offenses will
appear on the student's transcript.

This is a model of the College of Agricuture's planned Ag Arena. The college will be holding a livestock sale to raise money
for the project.
Livestock sale to help Ag Arena
50 percent of money raised to be donated to fund drive
By DENNIS SNYDER
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
The College of Agriculture's Ag Arena project will take a
giant step toward being more than just a blueprint after some
of the money raised at a livestock sale in Harrisburg today is
donated to the project's fund drive.
The sale may raise as much as $lOO,OOO, said Milford R.
Heddleson, coordinator of environmental quality affairs for the
college. About $235,000 has been raised for the arena so far from
other sources, he added. Together, the money represents over a
third of the total estimated construction cost of $900,000.
Groups and individuals were asked to donate animals, with
the agreement that 50 percent of the animal's sale price will be
donated to the project.
About 120 dairy cows, 60 beef cattle, 55 to 60 pigs and 35 to 40
sheep were donated, Heddleson said. The sale is being spon
sored by the major breeding associations in the state.
Samuel H. Smith, dean of the college, said the sale, to be held
in the Farm Show Building, allows those who donate animals to
be a part of the project. He said donors will be recognized.
"The idea is we are publicly thanking individuals for contrib
uting, and they are contributing also in an appropriate manner

that one of the Ag Arena's main functions will be for animal
showing, judging and display," he said.
The arena is planned as a facility capable of hosting student
resident instructional activities, such as the annual horticul
ture show and various animal shows. Faculty, students and
student organizations in the college will have top priority at the
arena, but that the arena will be available for a nominal fee to
breeding associations, Smith said.
Food and plants also were donated for the sale
Although the sale will be contributing a major part of funding
for the arena, it is not the only monetary source for the arena.
Students have played a major role in collecting donations
from people in the field of agriculture, including some State
College businesses, and organizing agriculture alumni phone-a
thons, Smith said.
The Agriculture Student Council has contributed $250 and the
Horticulture Club has pledged $3,000, Heddleson said.
Council President Don Snyder said the council will probably
give another $250 this spring.
_
The council is sponsoring a phone-a-thon in late January and
early February; all proceeds will go toward the project.

Solidarity - .stands."'s.trong against t-evemment pressure
By THOMAS. W. NETTER
Associated Press Writer
WARSAW, Poland (AP) Solidarity leader. Lech Walesa
declared yesterday his independent union "cannot retreat any
more" in the face of unrelenting assaults by Poland's Commu
nist regime.
As he entered a meeting of the union presiditim-in Gdansk on
the eve of a session of Solidarity's national leidership commis
sion, Walesa told reporters outside a Baltic port shipyard.
"We do not want confrontation but we cannot retreat any
more. We cannot be passive any longer as this would be
detrimental for the union." He said that strikes, not violence,
were the union's only weapons.
Solidarity's national leadership commission, which meets
today in Gdansk, is expected to approve launching a general
strike if the government gets and uses "extraordinary" pow-

WASHINGTON (AP) A special financing
package for the $43 billion Alaska natural gas
pipeline, described as the world's largest private
construction project, was sent to the White House
yesterday after supporters swept aside legal and
policy objections.
The House gave final approval to the measure
in a 230-188 vote, a replay of its 233-173 decision
Wednesday. President Reagan is expected to sign
the bill.
The original vole was caught in a legal snarl
that opponents Say leaves a cloud over financing
arrangements. They say the second vote violated -
the special law Congress enacted in 1976 to govern
pipeline decisions.
Sen. Howard Metzenbaum, D-Ohio, a leading
opponent, said he would challenge the package in
court, and Rep. Torn Corcoran, R-111., who led
House opposition, said he may join the suit.
"The banks are certainly not going to put up the
money with lawsuits pending," said Rep. Richard
Ottinger, D-N.Y., who called the vote "patently
illegal."
But supporters said the legal arguments
against the vote were tenuous. Rep. Phil Sharp,
D-Ind., a sponsor of the package, said legal
challenges were based on "a tortured interpreta
tion of the statute."

WASHINGTON ( AP) President Reagan's budget
planners hope to whittle the federal deficit down to
under $7O billion in 1983 and $4O billion or less in 1984,
and are considering tax increases to get there, adminis
tration sources said yesterday.
The new revenues might come from withholding taxes
on interest and dividend income, imported oil fees,
taxes on employer-paid health insurance benefits and a
windfall profits tax on deregulated natural gas;•admin
istration officials said.
One source said the administration is looking at plans
to` raise $BO billion to $B5 billion in 1983 and 1984,
reducing a deficit now projected at a recoid-,breaking
level of more than $l5O billion in 1984.
That is a significant increase from the $22 billion in

Sakharov's daughter-in-law summoned
By DAVID MINTHORN
Associated Press Writer
MOSCOW (AP) Andrei Sakharov's
daughter-in-law said yesterday she has been
summoned to the Soviet visa office, apparent
ly to receive her long-awaited exit papers. But
she vowed not to leave for the United States
until she is sure the Sakharov has abandoned
a hunger strike on her behalf.
"I feel happier now. I feel much calmer,"
Liza Alexeyeva said after receiving the sum
mons to appear today at OVIR. where exit
visas are issued. "But I still have a lingering
fear that it's not quite true and that it might
all turn out terribly."
The apparent decision to permit her to
emigrate seemed to be a major concession by
Soviet authorities, who have been under in
tense international pressure to meet Sakha
rov's demands to let Alexeyeva join her
husband in the United States.
The Soviet government has not commented
officially on the case since last Friday, and
repeated attempts by The Associated Press to
reach KGB officials for confirmation have
been unsuccessful.

between the banished dissident and Soviet
authorities, said she was told to bring her

Members of Solidarity and the anti-Communist dissident
group Confederation of Independent Poland marched with
thousands of Poles in southern Katowice yesterday to demand
freedom for political prisoners.
The Confederation, in a communique telexed to news agen

HARRISBURG (AP) Opponents and
supporters of a strict abortion bill that
the House has sent to the Senate predict a
tough fight in the upper chamber and
eventually a court suit against the mea
sure.
Through a parliamentary move, the
bill was sent directly to the Senate floor
for a vote, but the bill's sponsor, Rep.
Stephen Preind, R-Delaware County,
said he does not expect a vote until
January. The bill is co-sponsored by Rep.
Gregg L. Cunningham, R-Centre County.
Critics of the bill say the legislation,
approved 131-62 by the !louse on Wednes
day, would make Pennsylvania the
toughest state in the nation in which to
get an abortion. There were 65,000 abor
tions performed in the state last year.
In a late night vote, the Mouse reversed
an earlier decision and voted not to allow
the voters to decide whether the abortion
law should take effect.
Senate Majority Leader Robert Jube
lirer said the bill would not sit idle for too
long because "that allows pressure to
build up and lobby the ears off the mem
bers."
"It faces a tough fight in the Senate,"
said Howard Fetterhoff, executive direc
tor of the Pennsylvania Catholic Confer
ence, which endorsed the bill. "The
leaders there are not as favorable to it as
they were in the House."
Morgan Plant, spokeswoman for the
Committee for Quality Health Standards,
which opposes the bill, said the Senate
leaders "aren't favorable toward the

in a form letter that arrived at Sakharov's
Moscow apartment yesterday evening, short
ly after she received word that Sakharov and
his wife Yelena Bonner had voluntarily ended
the hunger strike they began Nov. 22.
The 26-year-old Miss Alexeyeva, however,
said she has no intention of leaving the Soviet
Union before seeing the Sakharovs. She said

Nobel winners appeal to Brezhnev
STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) Nine of this
year's 10 Nobel prize winners have sent a
cable to Soviet President Leonid I. Brezhnev
expressing concern over the fate of Soviet
fellow-laureate Andrei Sakharov, the news
agency TT said yesterday.
In the cable, announced as the prize award
ing ceremony opened, the nine appealed to
Brezhnev to ease conditions for Sakharov,
who was reported hospitalized by Soviet au
thorities during a hunger strike aimed at
winning permission for his daughter-in-law to
leave the Soviet Union.
The Daily Collegian Friday, Dec. 11, 111819
that "direct preparations for a confrontation by force are being
carried out."
The group, one of the chief organizers of the Katowice maucht,
said the only way to prevent a confrontation was government
agreement to Solidarity demands for a greater role in running
Poland.
The deputy marshal of Parliament, Piotr Stefanski, told the
official PAP news agency that a new law setting strict rules for
calling strikes seemed sufficient now.
But he said that the Parliament would also consider a special
powers act for the government when it was instructed to do so
by the party in the form of a formal motion from party
deputies.
"Once this happens, the Seim (the Polish parliament) will
start work on the bill," he said.
"I have no doubt suits will be filed
immediately (if the bill gains final pas
sage) and then we'll fight this battle in
the courts,'• Plant said.
The hill would make it harder to get an
abortion by requiring:
e A 24-hour wailing and counseling
period before an abortion.
0 A minor female to get one parent's
consent for an abortion.
o Doctors to use an abortion technique
most likely to result in a live birth for
well-developed fetuses. A second doctor
would have to be present to save the life
of the newborn child.
e That no abortions be performed in
public hospitals and clinics unless the
woman's life is endangered or pregnancy
results from rape or incest.
e That women pay for special health
insurance to cover abortion costs, except
in instances when the mother's life is
endangered.
Sylvia Stengle, director of the Allen
town Women's Center, said the House
vote has made her patients "extremely
panicky. Our phones have been ringing
off the wall."
Stengel said abortion clinics are start

Sakharov, winner of the 1975 Nobel Peace
Prize for his work on behalf of human rights,
was banished to the Volga River city 240 miles
east of Moscow nearly two years ago to limit
his access to foreigners.
The president of the Soviet Academy of
Sciences, to which Sakharov still belongs
despite his troubles with Soviet authorities,
told Alexeyeva the scientist :vas in no danger
of dying and had begun drinking fruit juice at
a Gorky hospital.
To ease the dissident's conditions "would
become an important step in restoring normal
scientific relations between East and West."
