Loop to try 2 weeks
of extended hours
By MARCY MERMEL
Collegian Staff Writer
Campus Loop hours will be extend
ed on weekends if a two-week trial is
successful, an Undergraduate Student
Government senator said last night.
At a . USG Senate meeting, East
Halls Senator Darryl Daisey said that
on Friday and Saturday nights stu
dents will be able to ride the loop free
from 11 p.m. until 2:30 a.m. and pay
the 25 cent fare until 11 p.m. The loop
now runs free from 9 p.m. until mid
night on those nights, but no service is
provided after midnight.
' Daisey, chairman of the senate
transportation advisory committee,
said under the present system the loop
takes students to parties and bars, but
leaves them there after midnight.
Therefore, students who must walk
home could be in danger because they
often return from parties drunk or
alone, he said.
'University administrators have
agreed to try the extention for two
weeks if USG guarantees the loop will
not lose money during that period,
Daisey said. Last night the, senate
passed a bill promising to cover the
loop's operating expenses for the al
tered hours if the experiment fails.
The bill also includes money for ad
vertisements to inform students of the
change. No dates have been set for the
trial weekends.
The loop could make mare money

Fonda, Hepburn named best performers
By 808 THOMAS
Associated Press Writer
HOLLYWOOD (AP) Henry Fonda and Katherine
Hepburn won Oscars for their co-starring roles as
husbind and wife in "On Golden Pond" at the 54th
Academy Awards last night, and "Chariots of Fire,"
was named best picture.
For the 76-year-old Fonda, it was his first Oscar for
acting. It was the 72-year-old Hepburn's fourth a
record number for acting in a leading role.
"Charitts," a British film that won critical acclaim,
had not been considered among top contenders for best
picture of 1981. It told the story of two runners one a
Jew from Oxford, the other a Scottish missionary
competing in the Olympic Games of 1924.
Maureen Stapleton, who played crusading Commu
nist Emma in "Reds," and Sir John Gielgud, a gen
tleman's gentleman in "Arthur," won Oscars for
supporting roles.
Elk County Democrat
vies for seat
By SCOTT G. OTT
Collegian Staff Writer
A Democrat from Elk County Afirho calls
himself "a working man and a conserva
tive" will announce this week that he is
running for Congress in . U.S. Rep. Wil
ham F. Clinger's 23rd District.
Joseph Janies Calla Jr., 24,_president
of the Johnsonburg Borough Council,
said, "I know what it is to pay taxes and I
feel that there's a need for a change to
get back to what the people want."
Calla said after a couple of terms in
Congress, some representatives tend to
"lose touch with reality."
"Raiders of the Lost Ark" took an early lead with foul
technical awards. Steven Spielberg's fast-paced, tong
ue-in-cheek adventure film patterned after the serials of
the 1940 s won Oscars for sound, editing, art direction
and visual effects.
Warren Beatty was winner for his direction of
"Reds," marking the second year in a row that a star
took a directorial award; last year Robert Redford won
for "Ordinary People."
"Mephisto," a Hungarian film about an actor's rise in
Nazi Germany, was awarded the Oscar as best foreign
film. And "Arthur's Theme" from "Arthur" won the
award as best original song.
Actor John Travolta presented this year's special
Oscar to Barbara Stanwyck for her long and distin
guished acting career.
After a standing ovation, the 74-year-old actress
thanked the film crews she worked with and added a
special tribute to the late Williann Holden, whose career
she helped start in 1938's "Golden Boy."

"I know' for a fact he (Clinger) is
starting to change," Calla said. "I think
his voting record shows he's . his own
man."
Calla said he will file a nominating
petition tomorrow and is "virtually as
sured of the Democatic nomination" if he
remains unopposed in the May 18 prima
ry.
"I've always been interested in poli
tiCs," Calla said, "I feel I have the same
qualifications as Clinger had when he ran
for his first term."
In September Calla will be 25 years old
the legal minimum age for a congres
sional candidate.

Pattee bomb threat a hoax
By MARTIN COREN
Collegian Staff Writer
Pattee was not evacuated despite a
bomb threat late yesterday afternoon,
said the acting supervisor of Universi
ty Police Services.
Officer Mark Kinley said a man
called police at 5:42 p.m. and said a
bomb was planted in Pattee.
After checking with his supervisors
and library adminstrators, Kinley
said, "no one advised (me) that .the
library should be closed. They all said
it should be kept open."
Stuart Forth, dean of University
libraries, said University procedure
for this type of threat does not include
evacuation.
She said: "I love him very much, and I miss him. He
always wished that I would get the Oscar. And so
tonight, my Golden Boy, you got your wish."
The 56-year-old Stapleton, who was previously nomi
nated three times in the supporting category, clutched
her Oscar and said: "I'm thrilled, happy, delighted
sober."
She promised to be brief, then thanked Warren
Beatty, Diane Keaton, and the rest of the "Reds" cast
and crew, her hometown of Troy, N.Y., her children and'
friends "and everybody I ever met in my entire life."
The 54th annual awards proved festive, despite show
ers that forced some stars to don raincoats over glamo
rous formal wear. The 2,500 people outside the Los
Angeles Music Center greeted their favorites with
cheers with one of the biggest ovations going to Jane
Fonda.
Henry Fonda planned to watch the nationally tele
vised ceremonies on ABC at his Bel-Air home, and his
daughter Jane accepted the award for him.
"I suppose there's always the possi
bility (of danger)," he said, "but (an
explosion has) never happened."
Police responded to the threat less
than 10 minutes after the man called,
Kinley said. Officers searched Pattee
and an announcement was made over
the loudspeakers announcing the
threat. Also, warning posters were
posted at all entrances to the library
and at all major inside doorways.
Forth said he did not know if the
threat was made by a student. But, he
said, "this is the kind of thing that
destroys the students' credibility in
wanting to participate in the affairs of
the University, if it was a student."
