2—The Daily Collegian Tuesday, March 16, 1982 OTIS officers take over new positions By ROSEMARIE SMITH Collegian Staff Writer Transition characterized the first Spring Term meeting of the Organiza tion for Town Independent Students last night. As Bill Fracalossi and Christine McKelvey assumed their respective offices of president and vice president and committee chairmen were ap pointed, a team of 'Undergraduate Student Government candidates spoke of the need to change the exist ing communication lines between OTIS and town senators. Emil Parvensky (9th-finance) and James McJunkin (9th-administration of justice), who announced their can didacy for USG president and vice president this week, said they would like to see a liaison between the town senators and OTIS to increase the communication between the two orga nizations. McJunkin said such a liaison would work to address large scale concerns that need input from both organiza tions. OTIS and the town senators haven't worked as well together in the past as they should have, he said. "There are.a lot of things we can RHAB proposes changes If approved, students may be able to paint own rooms By MARY HUNDLEY Collegian Staff Writer Dorm residents who are blue over fluorescent green or canary yellow walls may be able to do something about it, if a room-painting proposal by the Residence Hall Advisory Board is.approved by the Office of Housing and Residential Life later this term. The proposal, a 40-page report, establishes rules and guidelines and presents an analysis of various university room painting programs across the nation. • 'Under the proposed plan: AI Students would choose from a list of colors approved by housing and would be limited to two colors per room. Three walls must be the same color, the fourth may be different, and ceilings must white or off-white. rATRO W-T T ; T' .T;-1 TAI itoomminimpapmil tirtAtAvrt , - Sosomammirammarmn op ki- TIRED OF THE SAME OLD BULL? 1 8 6 .

The town senators do not want to duplicate the services OTIS provides, he said. Both Parvensky and McJunkin are town senators. Fracalossi succeeds Bob Karp, who has been president of OTIS for the past two years; McKelvey succeeds Keith Stambaugh. Liz Rauch also took office as trea surer. A secretary will be appointed. The following committee chairmen were appointed last night: legal Dan Walsh (10th-accounting); public ity Mary De Raymond (14th-En glish); housing Cheryl Olmsted (6th-labor studies); Commonwealth campuses Pete Cutrone (7th-petro leum and natural gas engineering). In other business, OTIS recently received inquiries from two groups of students on whether A' W & Sons Enterprise, 340 E. Beaver Ave., allo cates apartments by a first-come, first-serve or computer basis.

OTIS also received "two or three" complaints from students who applied for downtown apartments, such as Beaver Hill and Penn Towers, but were allocated an apartment in Park way Plaza. , Rauch said the A W & Sons rep resentative told her that students who check "any" when listing their, choic es for apartments are legally bound to take an apartment of comparable size. One OTIS member said that proce dure was clearly pointed out to him by A W & Sons representatives when he applied for an apartment. In other action: • OTIS adviser Charlene Harrison said the computer located in 135 Boucke may be used simultaneously with the OTIS computer beginning April 1 when housing contract reject ions are mailed. • Fracalossi reported that the ini tial findings in the OTIS apartment rent increase survey show an average increase of 12 percent. • OTIS voted in 12 new members. e No designs beyond a single color stripe will be approved. • Only paint supplied by the University may be used. • In an effort to prevent paint build-up over the years, a five year period would have to elapse between paintings. • Students must complete painting within'two weeks after supplies are issued. • Students who do an unsatisfactory painting job will be charged by the University for the cost of the paint and equipment. The housing staff will inspect the completed work and 72 hours will be given to correct any deficiencies before the room is reinspected. Some anticipated opposition from union members may pose a problem for the proposal, RHAB Chairman Robin Bronk said, because of job displacement that would result. According the the proposal however, the number of rooms actually painted by the union is small. Erin Go Bragh ERNt.° yVvmsismauns Fraternities element of By PATRICIA HUNGERFORD Collegian Staff Writer The Interfraternity Council 'adviser entertained questions about the new hazing policy at the IFC meeting last night. "I understand how this type of position we have taken is very difficult for you to accept perhaps even to understand," said Melvyn S. Klein, who is advising the group during Jeff Fre mont's 10-week sabbatical. "We have received, continually, reports of hazing activity within the greek system. We have a concern for the physical and psychological well-being of those individuals who enter your organizations after they have entered the institutions as one of our students," he said. Members of IFC concerned with loss of privacy because of the new hazing policy asked Klein to clarify what disclosure of policies meant. Disclosure is not, Klein said, any attempt to know anything about the rituals of the organizations. ."That is fraternity business,"' he said." All we ask is that if the ritual contains hazing that that portion be eliminated." However, Klein said, "(Disclosure does mean) you tell us what you want to tell us about your education programs. We hope that it will be complete. We hope that it will be honest. And we hope that it will be up to date. That (statement) will become a part of your permanent record with the University, not to be shared (with other members of IFC)." Klein was also asked how the hazing policy would affect black fraternities. The member.who asked the question said that there is a misconception about black greeks on campus, in regard to hazing. He asked if the hazing policy was an excuse to crack down further on black fraternities since they seem to come up most often when hazing is discussed.

A black fraternity will not be treated any differently than anyone else. This (haiing policy) is not a vehicle to, clamp down on the black fraternities by any means." In other business President Dave Dixon said that Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity had a problem last weekend with a band • called Mind Games that plays at fraternities after having the fraternity sign a contract containing a clause that alloys the band to invite a few guests. The contract does not specify how many guests, Dixon said, and when the band played at Lambda Chi Alpha 50 people showed up with passes from the band before the fraternity shut the doors to them, he said. Dixon said other bands might try the same thing and that fraternities should be careful and check contracts before signing. _ Klein said before a fraternity signs a contract it may strike anything from the contract it does not agree to. The band may , then say that under those circumstances they will not play, but the fraternity is under no obligation to agree with the contract the band submits, he said. Also, Paul Martin, chairman of the Phi Psi 500, asked members of IFC to help with the security of the race by having five members of each fraternity help marshal the event. They will be assigned places along the race route to help with crowd control, Martin said. People who sign up to be marshals are entitled to a free Phi Psi 500 T-shirt, and they will be admitted to the Sorority Chug held Friday night before the race, he said. • The race will be held April 17 from noon until 4:30 p.m., ne said. Registration for the race will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for two weeks beginning April 5 in the HUB. When the troops are hungry... call Domino's Pizza! Attention!

But the American Cancer Society contends that wom en have come too far in terms of smoking, and is introducing a new campaign to curtail the in , * creasing number of women smokers. Gail Kamon, public education chairman for the society in Centre County, said the society is targeting women because the lung cancer rate for women has not decreased compared to the lung cancer rate for men. And Joan Curtis, society representative, said the incidence of lung cancer in women surpassed )j the incidence of breast cancer last year. The program, which is the primary public education thrust in Pennsylvania through August 1983, targets women between 14 to 50 "specif ically pregnant women, nurses, women in clubs and organizations and women in the work place," MANAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES OPENINGS IN SCIENTIFIC/TECHNICAL/MEDICAL AND GENERAL MANAGEMENT Uniformed Military Divisions of the Department of the Navy have some openings available.

A pregnant woman's smoking can have detri mental effects on the fetus, Kamon said. Women who smoke generally tend to have smaller babies and more stillbirths than women who do not smoke, she said. In addition, many women who were never smokers begin smoking when they start working, Temeles said, perhaps as a result of job and social pressures. For instance, she said, a relatively high per centage of nurses smoke, probably because of job stress and poor self-image. Temeles also pointed out the potential adverse effects of smoking and taking birth control, pills. "If a woman smokes and takes the pill, the chances of having a heart attack or stroke are very possible," she said. "It's extremely hazard ous to combine the two." The society is aiming to stop "well-informed women who know better" from smoking and to prevent young women from starting, she said. Elaine Young, director of the "I Quit Smoking" clinics, said it is often more difficult for women to quit. "There's probably a difference in the way we've cultured men and women," she said. "Women haven't been socialized to make deci sions for themselves. "I advise people to make a plan. Men seem to take charge. They can control their environment more easily," Young said. "Teenage women may find they are under control of other people. They seem unable to gain control in many areas of their lives except in the area of smoking. That's what hooks them," she said. Advertising has also contributed to the women and smoking problem, Young said. "The advertising has really hit the women," she said. "It used to be the masculine approach.

However, Temeles emphasized that the pro gram is not limited exclusively to women. "If men are interested in the program, that's okay, too," she said. "We don't exclude anyone." The volunteer in charge of the program will select the film that best pertains to the audience from a selection, including "Women and Smok ing," which studies the experiences of three women who try to kick the habit; "I Am Sorry, Baby," which examines the affect of parents' smoking on their children's health; and "Who's In Charge Here," which features interviews with high school students who smoke. In addition, self-help cancer society material, quitting strategies and support groups are avail able to anyone who wants to quit smoking, Te meles said. All programs are free, Temeles said.

Or maybe you want to take a few courses Tel Aviv University. Perhaps delving into Israe past history via an archaelogical dig is what y , want. If you are interested in these topics anything else related to Israel, Amos Mendel the man to talk to. Mendel is an Israeli Community Shaliach en ssary) sent from Israel to Pittsburgh to promo! programs in the Middle Eastern country. He sal that anything concerning Israel falls under hi realm. "I am a kind of cultural ambassador to Israel.' he said. "The only way to know what Israel is about is to go there." Many programs Mendel promotes are con nected with Israeli universities. Students can arrange to receive credit for the short-term courses that they take at Israeli uni versities from their schools, Mendel aid. The University's Foreign Studies Program includes a program at Tel Aviv University. Another area of Mendel's expertise is the kib butz, a collective farm or settlement in Israel. Mendel describes a kibbutz as "the only succes ful effort in building a sharing society a unique phenomenon." Various pamphlets available in the Yachati office, 212 HUB, show that many programs to work on a kibbutz are offered, ranging from temporary work of at least one month on a kibbutz to a full six-month commitment. Another program Mendel promotes is Sherid La'Am, or Service to the People. This is a long-' term program in which Hebrew is studied inten sively for three or six months. The participant is then placed in a field close to his or her own' profession for a period of up to nine months. All these programs are open to anyone but are' geared toward Jewish people, Mendel said. ' "For the Jew, it is more meaningful he is much more of a person after returning (from - Israel)," he said. Aside from promoting programs in Israel, Mendel tries to explain the suffering Israel is going through. Adidas. Europa Cup Soccer Shoe ,9?" Now 39 95 4 0 I lON O ORTs.
