'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."

! )U,
ielton Center, said she believed her
group enjoyed the event, but there
was more to it than enjoyment.
"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.

But, I also like the fact of national unity
and I think semesters would be good for
this place, it would be a nice change, too.
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.

Wolford:
Editor's note: This is the last in a
series of interviews with the candidates
for president of the Undergraduate Stu
dent Government. 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.

proposed financial aid cuts are ap
proved, 80 percent of University students
will be affected.. Again, what would you
do to help students? 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

don't think they are really doing any
thing.
Guaranteed Student Loans are down,
$30,000. I think that's good. College Work
Study I think if anything should be
maintained, that should be it. Because
there's nothing wrong with doing a little
work to get that money.
I take it the big problem is Pell Grants.
I don't think the University could do
anything about the reduction of Pell
Grants; I don't think I as a student leader
could do anything about the reduction of
Pell Grants because if Reagan wants to
put all the money into buying a big gun,
then somebody has to pay the price forg.

"So much more than just renting an apartment."
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.

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.

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

"The self-service concept was the ma
jor contribution to increased sales, but
our new Wine Gallery draws in a few
; people," Fleck said.

you originally came for."
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.

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.
