Phi Omega service fraternity. 'Saturday special' for 64 special people By JEFFERY BOSSERMAN Collegian Staff Writer One Saturday each year,'mentally retarded people and senior citizens come to the University and spend the day with student volunteers, partici pating in sing -a-longs, games and other activities. The "Saturday Special," an annual event that included jugglers, dancers, clowns, aerobic dancing and singing, was held in the HUB last Saturday afternoon. The program entertained 64 people including senior citizens from Centre Crest and the State . College Senior Citizens Center, and mentally re tarded people from Laurelton Center, said Marti Pennay, membership chairwoman for Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity, the program's sponsor. "I think it went pretty well," Pen nay said. "I think the people had a good time both the students and the guests."

"The attraction here is not only fun, but people who talk to you and treat you decent," she said. Each volunteer who participated in activities with the guests expressed different reasons for being there. "I came here because it's a good opportunity to socialize and meet the elderly," said Lisa Abel (9th-rehabili tation education). Judi Heiple (11th-finanCe) said the Saturday Special was a lot of fun. "It's a good feeling helping some one out," she said. "They have so much knowledge." While the volunteers said they thought the people were interesting, the guests said they enjoyed many aspects of the day. Clair Hazel, an 87-year-old Centre Crest resident, said in addition to the student volunteers, he enjoyed the singing and dancing the most. ' "(There are) nice people and you enjoy yourself," he said.

It won't be quite as hurried atmosphere. The biggest problem that I see are the people who don't finish up when they're seniors and they have to come back because right now the summer courses offered, they just don't do it. I think that,( like I said, there should be a heightened number of courses in that summer and this summer. And I think Emil Parvensky called it Super Summer. Well, that's a nice name for it. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. There's a problem of building reforma tion, and I think it's going to have to be delayed, but I think they're going to work around that, I really do. (USG can help students) by making sure that somebody's working on getting them in increased course load during the summer. The student leaders should overlook all the little things that are going on and make sure that everybody's coordinated before this thing goes into effect.

The interviews are running in alphabetical order with each candidate being allocated about 35 col umn-inches of column space. Collegian staff writer Marcy Mermel recently interviewed candidate Matt Wolford and the following has been edi ted for length and clarity. COLLEGIAN: University President John W. Oswald has made it clear that the University will be changing to a semester calendar in 1983. What do you plan to do to help students adjust to that changeover and make the transition smoother? What problems do you see with the semester calendar? WOLFORD: Well, the first problem with the semester calendar that I can see is the schedule. They've got the C-83 block B or something stupid like that. Everybody's still kind of hazy about it. They don't know what classes are going to be going where and all that stuff. I'm looking forward to having semes ters because I think that the whole nation should be uniform following that. I'm not knocking trimesters because I like tri mesters. In fact, had I had my druthers about it and everything, I'd take trimes ters just because you could stay trimes ters.

What do you think the University should do to help stu dents? WOLFORD: First off, this thing with (Basic Education Opportunity Grant), I think the part of the people earning over $30,000 being cut off is good. Because my father earns over $30,000, and I've been cut off, and I sure as hell didn't need the money. And that's that. The people that do need the money, they've got a real problem. I think that the University might be obligated, but I • Attention: Organization PreSidents Have: you seen this: Ea ME 1983 • March 24, 1982 • Dear Organization President: Organizations are an important part of the experience of Penn State.

Prof6sionally man, You're gonna have to wait until you have a new national president or a politi cal change in perception. I'm not really happy about the fact that the student loan interest rate went up. It's almost got to the point where you can just go to the bank and get a regular loan. The major pitch should be to people not in school yet. So they know before they're getting into it, exactly what they are getting into. Because if you can't main tain what the kids have now, while they're in school, they might waste two years of their life. There might not be a reality in coming back once you drop out of school and get a job somewhere, it's hard to return. If you're going to cut, cut before the kid is going into college. Just tell them that they can't have it so they know before they are getting in. I'm really concerned about the social security cuts, social security almost went down the tubes three years ago. I don't see how one student leader at a school can change all of that, but there are some little things like setting up commitees for labor. COLLEGIAN: USG President Bill Cluck has made improving communica tion between USG and the - administration one of his priorities. What do you think could be done to enhance communica tion? What do you plan to do to make the administration take student input more seriously? WOLFORD: I think that Mr. Cluck's ties with the trustees, the administrators those are pretty important, especially next year with a new president. I think the best thing to do is you've got to go and and meet these people, sit down, shake their hands. • Ic Hegedus There are certain things that he can do for you, and there is probably not a whole lot that you can do for him. He's 'looking at it as a give and take situation rather than a take situation, you have to .be diplomatic but a go getter. COLLEGIAN: What qualities do you think the new University president should have and why? WOLFORD: I think the new University president should have a little more open mindedness about certain things. Should perhaps be, to say colloquially, with the times a little more. I don't understand Oswald's strong opposition to coed housing., The attitude is that no one proved it would work so don't try. THE CENTER Features: ■Free bus service Benchmark Real Committee plans newsletter, handbook By ROSA EBERLY Collegian Staff Writer Two subcommittees of the Calendar Conversion Council's communications committee recently held their first meetings and began planning for a calendar conversion newsletter and a semester transition handbook. . Chris Hopwood, president of the Undergradute Student Government's AcademiC Assembly and a member of the newsletter subcommittee, said the letter will cater primarily to students. It will include information from various University groups, including the Calendar Conversion' Council, the academic colleges and departments, Unixersity administrative offices such as the Offices of the Prpsident, the Provost and the University Faculty Senate and student organizations, Hop wood said. • The purpose - of the newsletter is to communicate accurate information to students about the conversion and to honestly reassure students about the conversion process, he said. James R. Dungan, secretary of the .Calendar Conversion Council and special assistant to the director of the Office of Self-serve state store sales up 30% By BONNIE MORTER Collegian Staff Writer A few area state liquor stores have recently converted to a self-service sys tem, and students as well as managers of these stores• 'seem pleased with the change. Vince Winterhalter (6th-microbiology) said, "I think it's better overall. It's like going to a grocery store; you can walk around and see what's on sale. "Before self-service, you had to look through the catalog to see what you wanted. The new way is easier and cuts down on store traffic," he said. • Bob Brannan (12th-architectural engi neering) agreed. "It's more convenient than when they serve you, which takes forever because of long lines. I just like shopping for myself. Besides, you might see something you like better than what Women in the Colleges of Agriculture, Business Administration, Earth and Mineral Sciences, Engineering; and Science Groups to help women learn strategies to meet the demands of the work world will be offered this term at the Career Development and Placement Center.

The state liquor store at 1688 N. Ather ton St. was converted to a self-service system in January. Assistant manager Thomas Fleck said business has in creased. about 30 percent since the con version. The Wine Gallery now boasts exclusive selections of California wines such as the white Chardonnay and the red Cabernat, he said. Fleck said store hours may be in creased to 9 a.m. through 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday if the State Liquor Control Board in Harrisburg grants ap proval. The Bellefonte state liquor store has operated under self-service since April Planning and Budget, said the newsletter subcommittee hopes to get the first conversion newsletter published this term. Also, the transition handbook subcommittee met to decide about basics of the handbook. The transition handbook will be a one-time publication, and the subcommittee hopes to have it ready for distribution by Fall Term registration, he said. Gallagher said the transition handbook subcommittee dis cussed tentative content of the handbook and decided it should include: • Semester calendar dates, including the beginning and ending dates of each semester, University form due dates, tuition due dates and drop-add deadlines. • Information on the University's ►sew preregistration form, to be implemented Spring Term of 1983. • The basic semester schedule, including class meeting times. o A "crosswalk course list" that would list the name of a course under the term system and its equivalent under the semester system: • A section of specific information for graduate students about how the conversion will affect them. 1981. Store manager Donald Quick said his business has also improved, but that store hours will not be increased. While the North Atherton Street and Bellefonte state stores have gone to self service, the University Park Plaza liquor store still serves in the conventional way. One customer, Steve Sanders (Bth-elec trical engineering), said he prefers the counter service over self-service. "Self-service may cut down on lines, but I'd rather have someone wait on me at the counter. I know what I want to buy, so why not have someone get it for me in case I can't find it myself?" he said. Although the University Park store is the only state store in the State College area with counter service, Beverly Eag er, spokeswomen for the store, said the possibility of converting to self-service has not been entirely ruled out but is not likely right away.

ANDREW BLENDER OPTOMETRIST 242 Calder Way 234-1515 HUB Reading Room Money raised as volunteers do push-ups By PATRICIA HUNGERFORD Collegian Staff Writer Sweat poured as people pushed • up, that is and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation benefitted. , The third annual Push-up-a-thon, sponsored yesterday by Alpha Chi Omega sorority and Nittany Lion mascot Roy Scott, went better than expected, said chairwoman Susan Dore of Alpha Chi Omega. The event raised more than it did last year, she said, but an exact count has not been made. Cheers and chants from the crowd encouraged the participants. The crowd was fantastic, Dore said. In the fraternity team event, Pi Kappa Phi fraternity won with a total of 771 push-ups. Two of the five team members had injured shoul ders prior to the event. Rick Rager (9th-petroleum and natural gas engineering) re - -injured his. shoulder when he did 127 push ups for Pi Kappa Phi. Lou Dißenzo (12th-biology), who did 170 push-ups for the team, said he was nervous about the fraternity individuals event, which he went on to win by doing 227 push-ups. John Helfrick (Bth-chemical engi- neering) did 157 push-ups for the team. He said he screamed as he did his push-ups because then he could not feel anything. "It doesn't hurt until you stop. Then you can't move your arms," Helfrick said. Mtilnil :,...~ ~'~.. Rick Landis (12th-agriculture) receives encouragment during Alpha Chi Omega sorority's Push-Up•A-Thou yesterday.
