The missing banner: Politics at its best
Politics is a dirty business, and campaigning
can be one of the filthier aspects of it.
Witness the overenthusiastic acoustical ef
forts of the 1972 Committee to Re-Elect the
President (Watergate, remember? ). And on a
somewhat smaller scale, how about the cam
paign banner advertising a team for an Under
graduate Student Government president and
vice president that was mysteriously torn
down earlier this week?
Hung high above the Campus Mall between
two trees, the banner which cost $6B did
not blow away. It disappeared quite neatly,
and removing it must have taken a hefty
amount of effort.
USG Elections Commissioner Kevin Joyce
said he isn't sure who is responsible for snag
ging the sign, but he doesn't think it was done
by anyone involved in the campaign. He hy
pothesizes that it was done as an act of aggres
sion against USG in general, and not against
the candidates. But he's still investigating.
Well, let's assume the easily assumable:
Some other candidates are responsible for the
banner's disappearance. Really now, who else

Popular misconception
Prompted by a recent conversation at a family
reunion concerning expectations between men
and women of college age, we felt the need to
publicly resolve a popular misconception among
the majority of male undergraduates at Penn
State.
lt has become apparent to us that most (al
though not all) males believe that females can
not be satisfied with a simple, unpretentious
relationship.
We have been given the impression that guys
have been warned that the girls are looking
distinctly for permanent relationships and that is
not the case for most of us. As a matter of fact,
most of the co-eds at Penn State are, believe it or
not, mainly concerned with getting their bache
lor degrees, not their "Mrs."
So guys, if you think you made a mistake, or a
commitment, Friday night by coming on too
strong to a particular girl at a party or bar
reconsider. After all, maybe what first attracted
you to that girl could be a basis for a great . . .
friendship!

Alternate plan-
I have seen several different semester plans
since the decision to change to a semester was
made. To accommodate the numerous labs re
quired for graduation, very confusing plans have
been presented. With all of these plans, Monday,
Wednesday and Friday become even more heav
ily scheduled than the present term system. This
overload will cause a facility shortage.
Our present system does not utilize its facili
ties very efficiently. Most three credit courses in
our present term schedule meet on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday. Also, most multiple
period labs meet on Tuesday or Thursday. This
causes a classroom shortage on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday and a lab shortage on
Tuesday and Thursday. Few students or teach
ers desire to schedule a course that meets on
Tuesday and Thursday for one and a half periods
are equally unpopular. The latter two offerings
are usually a last resort method for fufilling
degree requirements.
Below is a description of the semester cal
endar that I was exposed to while I attended the
United States Military Academy between 1978
and 1980. I found this schedule very easy to use.
Rocky is fishing with Kenny and . . .
Hi, dear!
So what's new with you?
I'm making a pot of vegetable soup and your Dad is
streched out on the horizontal (the couch) with the
shing ( the remote control) watching "Meet the
Press."
Rocky is fishing with Kenny Wilson and Karen is at
play rehearsal. Did you know they're doing "Guys
and Dolls" this year?
Your dog is laying under the kitchen table she
had a tough day chasing sea gulls at the beach.
Listen, I was thinking today that you really should
start getting some resumes out after all,. you are
graduating in two months. It's about time you got off
your duff and did something about it because the day
you graduate is the day I cut the purse strings.
But, if you don't find a job, you could always go to
grad school, right?
Your father has had it pretty rough these days. I
really don't think he's resigned himself to the fact
that you're not going to be a tax lawyer.
And when you finally got through to him that being
a public service major doesn't mean you're going to
drive a SEPTA bus all your life, you went ahead and
switched to journalism. But at least that's clear cut.
Karen announced this week that she wants to be a
musical therapist. The first thing your father said
would want the thing? The official-looking
banner was prominently displayed and, in a
campaign where many students merely regur
gitate onto the ballots the names of candidates
with snazzy signs, could have meant a lot of
votes for the team. Time to break out the anti
campaign tactics.
Such tactics are, in short, slimy. In long,
they create some bad public relations prob
lems for USG students and administrators
are shown that people involved, or aspiring to
be involved, with USG can behave like petty
thieves. Politics at its best.
Beyond this incident lies the general tone of
the USG campaign, which has sometimes been
no more than an exercise in mudslinging.
Many people would find it laughable that a
USG campaign could create neurotic, juvenile
behavior in its participants.
It is hoped, as it is always hoped, that this
year's campaign will feature behavior befit
ting intelligent college students, not White
House plumbers. As a high school football
coach might say: Let's keep it clean.
It has the potential of greater facility utilization
than our present system ; I call the proposed
system a "six-day cycle" semester. With this
system, a day designated as a 1, 3 or 5 day would
have as many courses as a 2, 4 or 6 day. This
schedule also eliminates Saturday and holiday
classes without "cheating" students out of their
entitled 36 attendances per semester.
At the beginning of the semester, students
would receive a calendar with the numbers 1
through 6 adjacent to the date. For example,
assume the semester began on Thursday, Sep
tember 1. Thursday would be a 1-day. Friday
would be a 2-day. The following Monday, (in this
case, September 12) would be a 1-day and the
cycle repeats itself. A semester consistes of 12
"six-day cycles." This could be administered in
14 1/2 weeks, working Monday through Friday
only. (The semester would be longer if national
holidays were also school holidays.)
The "six-day cycle" provides an equal amount
of instruction time as conventional semester
systems. In a typical two-week period, a three
credit course would meet five times for five
hours of instruction. This is equal to meeting six
times for 55 minute periods.
My proposed schedule is very similar to the
present one in use. Few changes in course
material would be necessary. The major
changes are as follows:
• Sixty-minute classes would replace 75 min
ute classes.
• Three-credit courses would have 36 atten
dances instead of 30 attendances.
• Labs would have 12 attendances instead of
10 attendances.
e Fifteen-minute breaks would replace 20
minute breaks between periods.
e Seven periods a day would be offered with
the first period starting at 8
When Mr. Steel receives his pink slip, he
should organize his schedule into the six desig
nated days. Now that Mr. Steel has his day-to
day schedule organized, all he has to do is refer
to his calendar to find what type day it is, go to
school, and . . . graduate. It's that simple.
I would like to present to the Calendar Conver
sion Committee more details of this plan if
committee members are interested.

We were quite disturbed at Dan Callahan's

discussing Collegian nutrition misinformation.

and it sounded interesting.
Last week she wanted to go into the military
Karen took her SATs the other day. She said she did
lousy on them. But you did lousy on yours, and we got

we get her accepted at Delaware.

But, she was also thinking about applying to UCLA.
Your father vetoed that idea. He said all those liberal
professors at Penn State have corrupted your mind
and who knows what would happen if your sister went
Not only do his "facts" show a strangely naive
belief in the verity of lay publications and an
unfounded distrust of research scientists, but he
has also twisted our words and made unfounded
accusations against us.
We fully agree that nutrition researchers must
be open-minded, but as scientists we must nec
essarily be skeptical of claims which are: a)
untenable from the standpoint of basic biochemi
cal and physiologic processes; and b) have not
been tested or have been `disproves' by accepta
ble research methods. Anecdotal evidence (testi
monials, etc.) and opinions do 'not' constitute
proof.
He has misrepresented our statements. We did
not dismiss the possibility that_ active yogurt
cultures might establish themselves in the intes
tine. What we said, reflecting the best consensus
of the scientific and medical literature in the
area, is that it is unlikely that it occurs to any
significant extent. To do so, bacteria must sur
vive stomach acid, strong stomach and intestinal
enzymes, and finally compete in the large intes
tine against huge numbers of previously estab
lished bacterial species. This is a far cry from
Mr. Callahan's simplistic "bread mold and pen
cillin" analogy.
If these bacteria survive the digestive proc
esses then they may establish themselves in the
colon, but are not necessarily of any any benefit
there. The fact that "these claims are centuries
old" does not make them any more true. The
world did not turn out to be flat, despite centuries
of claims to that effect. In sum, Mr. Callahan's
statements show a lack of knowledge of basic
digestive physiology a possibility which might
impede his understanding of any the literature in
this area.
We also did not dispute the fact that there is
considerable interaction of nutrition with the
immune system. There is no doubt that in many
hospitalized patients and starving people, nutri
tion may have a profound effect on the immune
function. What we said, in response to the origi
nal Collegian article, is that: a) cholesterol
appears unrelated to the immune function; b)
increased intakes of vitamin A, zinc, or other
nutrients should not be expected to improve
immune function in most Americans; and c) that
the sugar intakes of Americans though they
may indeed be excessive are not likely to
diminish immune functions or liver detoxifica
tion capabilities
In our letter, we fully agreed with the original
article in recommending that Americans in
general should decrease consumption of simple
sugar, total and saturated fat, salt, and choles
terol, and increase consumption of complex
out to California and ran around with all those Super
Libs.
He can't stand to see your conservative up-bringing
being shot to hell. The other day he asked me where
we went wrong.
I saw Mrs. Harris in the post office the other day.
She asked me again if you were going to straighten up
and just get a job like her Mary Fran who has a "real
nice job" at Shop-Rite. I told her to ask you herself.
We're leaving for Florida on the 4th and will be
home the 25th. I don't really want to go this year.
Enclosed please find some spending money. But
please spend it on alcohol I still refuse to fund pot
expenditures.
Remember to send your grandmother a birthday
card. We'll call you from Florida, collect of course.
In this changing world, it's nice to know that some
things stay the same. Thank goodness.

carbohydrates and fiber. Increasing intakes of
whole grains, legumes, and fruits and vegetables
would be helpful in meeting those goals. Clearly,
these dietary habits are in harmony with both
"traditional wisdom" and hard science. Mr.
Callahan completely ignored this in his reporting
of our letter.
Callahan suggests that we are industry-funded
and that this has influenced our "close-minded"
opinions. These are misleading and insulting
accusations. We are quite at freedom to express
whatever we wish, and there is no compelling
reason for us to accept or reject any claims
except on the basis of quality and quantity of
proof which supports or opposes them.
Over the years many popular hypotheses have
come and gone in the scientific literature, owing
to these criteria. The problem with lay publica
tions is (as he should recognize) that they are
produced to be marketed for profits and are
under no legal nor professional responsibility to
discriminate between facts, half-truths, and
fiction. Many of the claims in these have been
tested and disproven but remain. To the lay
public, a little scientific jargon can go a long way
and sell a lot of books and snake-oil cures.
We are open-minded to many new concepts in
nutrition and, if they pass scientific scrutiny,
would gladly accept them as fact. What we
deplore are the unsound, unproven, often harm
ful "nutrition" misinformation and misleading
statements which are presented to the public as
proven fact or whole truth.
Would Mr. Callahan take all his medical diag
noses and business advice from the National
Enquirer and Time magazine? We doubt it.
Similarly, he and others would be advised to take
a more scholarly (and open-minded) approach
when investigating nutrition.
Just as one would not be able to judge an
accountant's skills without knowing basic math,
one cannot easily judge nutrition claims without
an appropriate background. Nutrients are not
mystical panaceas, but chemicals which act
within the principles and constraints of human
physiology and biochemistry. It is not magic, but
science. Popular belief and wishful thinking
have never changed fiction to fact, nor hypoth
esis to certainty.

thing in their other student government job. We +'
have never heard of Barch, Parvensky, or the

who can get students to remember their name

We feel that the candidate with the most

Darryl and Darnell Daisey are by far the most
qualified candidates for USG. The only problem
is that neither of them is running for the posi

are the most well known for their interest in

The American dream
I would like to comment on the substance of
Mr. Catanoso's column of March 19. The subtitle
of that column was "The American Dream Lives
On;" however, the column ended on a downbeat
note when Mr. Catanoso concluded that the
American Dream is often only just a dream.
Yes, life in America can be a kind of dream.
This is a benevolent and forgiving land, where
even dreams are enough to sustain a person like
the Bill of the column. I have seen many Bills,
who take the easy route of dreaming of a goal
without taking any action to make it a reality.
There will always be those who are content to
spin castles in the air.
Those who wish substantive castles of accom
plishment and reward have the opportunity in
America to leave the Bills far behind. The
American Dream is a promise fulfilled countless
times in the past; with intelligence, capability,
planning and yes, work, we can make our
dreams a reality. I feel no pity for the idle
dreamers because, unlike in some other more
ruthless Social Darwinist societies, America's
largess suffers dreamers the means to live and
dream.

Fait accompli
Like many in the University community, I was
guilty of not paying enough attention to the
problem inherent at Penn State of Calender
Conversion. However, now that concerned
groups in the University community, specifically
The Faculty Committee for Semester Review,
have raised their voices, the facts and implica
tions of Calender Conversion is becoming only
too obvious. Penn State may be heading for a
disaster that will seriously deteriorate standards
of academic excellence at the University.
With Calender Conversion, the University Ad
ministration has presented the rest of the Uni
versity community with a fait accompli. A
bureaucracy ia imposing its decision upon the
community it is suppose to be part of and serve.
There is no full and fair discussion in the aca
demic tradition.
Once set in motion, the wheels of this bu
reaucratic decision-making process cannot be
stopped. The decision and commitment is made.
There can be no more discussion (if there was
any to begin with). Dissent and discussion is only
sand in the smooth functioning of the process.
If there are Saturday classes, so be it. If there
are night classes, so be it. If professors must
teach three classes a semester with increased
glass size, so be it. If deserving junior faculty can
not get tenure because teaching loads do not
allow them to do prbductive research, so be it. If
graduate students pile deferred grade upon
• deferred grade and can not get continued fund
• ing because of increased class and assistantship
responsibilities, so be it. So be it, the decision is
made. We must --. Only 50,000 more troops.

Students deserve voice'
I am outraged by the fact that the president of
this University would make a decision affecting
over 90,000 students, faculty and administrators
without even listening to the input of those who
are going to be affected. I would be able to accept
the semester change and adjust to it if it was
going to be beneficial to the vast majority of the
students, but as it stands now, the change will
adversely affect almost all, if not all, Penn State
students.
The negative aspects of the change could be
tolerated if the change was being made because
the present system was failing, but this is not the
case. The term system has been working suc
cessfully for over 20 years. None of the reasons
stated by President Oswald justify spending
upwards of $50,000,000 (of our tuition dollars)
and seriously hurting the academic careers of
thousands of students. I can't accept the reason
that the change should be made , because other
schools have changed, especially when schools
like University of California,-Los Angeles didn't
change. Penn State's reputation is not hurt by

the fact that it is on terms instead of semesters
Many students will find of very difficult to
graduate under the new semester system, espe
cially those in the Colleges of Engineering and
Science because of the large number of credits
required for graduation. Students would have to
overload their credits which would force them to
work harder to keep up, defeating the main
purpose of the switch which is supposed to allow
students to work at a slower, more relaxed pace.
Students who are unable to secure classes or
who have to repeat classes would be drastically
behind others in their majors and would most
unlikely be unable to finish with the rest of their
class. There is a good possibility that students
would have to come back for an extra semester
just to take one or two classes they were unable
to get. It is unfair to force students to attend
Penn State for more than four years. But the
alternative of waiving credits would be just as
bad because students would be unprepared for
their jobs.
All the facts about the semester change should
be presented to. the students, since the vast
majority of the students don't really know how
the change will affect them. The students should
be given the opportunity to vote on the issue. The
one person who is least affected by, the change,
John Oswald, should not be allowed to force his
decision upon those who will be affected without
even listening to what they have to say. By
closing negotiations, Oswald is admitting he
doesn't care what the students or faculty think or
what problems they face he only cares about
his image.

Quantity counts
I read Joann Friedrich's column about men
strual woes and nutrition in the March 18 issue of
The Daily Collegian, and I applaud her effort to
raise what the Food and Drug Administration
regards as an extremely controversial topic.
That topic is the relationship of "sub-clinical"
medical problems to nutrition.
I am thrilled that a student in mainstream
nutrition would, in essence, directly contradict
that mainstream's "party line" about nutrition
which ignores all sub-clinical symptoms in es
tablishing dietary requirements! Unfortunately,
'the Collegian will not allow me to express my
controversial opinions without editing and arbi

Ms. Friedrich stated, without much reference
to journals and the like, that menstrual woes are
mitigated by the ingestion of B 6; B complex,
calcium, D, and magnesium; This has been
known by researchers and some (namely, ortho
molecular) physicians for a number of years. In
particular, B6's relation to menstrual and preg
nancy woes has been studied clinically. by Dr. J.
Ellis (from east Texas) for about 20 years. His
results were reported in "A Physician's Hand
book on Orthomolecular Medicine." I state this

so that your readers can check my interpretation
that a woman who wishes to try B 6 should take
approximately 50 milligrams daily of the vita
min. .
You see, Friedrich did not say anything what
soever about quantity and this is misleading
because the ONLY thing that matters about
vitamins is quantity! Virtually all vitamins are
found in virtually all foods that have not under
gone destructive processing. To say "I got some
vitamin `xyz' today" is to say, in effect, "I am
largely ignorant about nutrition." Without 30
milligrams of vitamin C daily, for example,
about one person in four will contract scurvy, a
horrible cellular disorder. The fact that such a
person may have had 10 milligrams daily will
only, at pest, make the onset slower and the
condition a slight bit less devastating.
I have never heard of Frierich's one source,
The New Life Health Digest, but I would hope
that a nutrition student could do a better study of
such a subject than to look at what is probably a
popularized, non-scientific journal.
Unfortunately, the American Medical Associa
tion (I 'can say this with the concurrence of
numerous physicins, including two of my rela
tives) and the FDA are so opposed to the ideas
that Friedrich has raised (see, for example,

Chem Tech, Feb. 1979) that few journals in the
area will even consider articles that study such
ideas.
I am afraid, however, that many Penn State
coeds and others who read Friedrich's article
will think that if their multi-vitamin has piddling
amounts of the nutrients mentioned, that they
are doing,all that they can for the situation. This
is not true because the amount of each nutrient
that an individual needs can only be determined
by a substantial amount of individual experi
mentation. In many cases, these needs can
dramatically exceed the recommended dietary
allowances as decreed by the FDA.
In addition, all nutrients are needed in appro
priate amounts in order to achieve optimal
effects from any individual nutrient or group of
nutrients. It is passable, to some extent, to
establish individual dietary needs by medical
tests, but they are expensive and may not be
applicable for very long or under varying condi
tions of stress, health, and the like.
In short, Friedrich has provided a service by
raising a very controversial issue (to the "ex
perts," but not to anyone who has personally
experienced the effects of superior nutrition),
but she has provided such poor information

Moyer Jewelers so called "sexist" ad which
appeared in your Tuesday, March 23 issue.
Perhaps in the future, the two know-it-all almost
