Swiss train wreck kills 39
PFAEFFIKON, Switzerland (AP) A train
ripped through a bus carrying West German
soccer fans home yesterday from a weekend
tour, killing 39 of the 41 men and women aboard,
including, the driver, officials reported.
Among the 10 people injured was the
signalwoman who had failed to lower the railroad
crossing barriers as the train approached.
Officials said she was badly burned when flames
from the blazing wreckage engulfed the signal
house beside the tracks.
The others injured were listed as two women
who were on the bus, the locomotive engineer and
six train passengers. Officials said the six train
passengers were treated and released but the
four others were hospitalized in serious
condition. They said they did not know how many
passengers had been aboard the local commuter

Zurich police Maj. Eugen Thomann said the
crossing barriers were not down as they should
have been before the bus passed through a level
crossing about, 12 miles south of Zurich in the
early afternoon. He said the bus and the first car
of the electric train burst into flames on impact.
"Burned bodies, interspersed with pieces of
luggage, sandwiches and running shoes were
scattered on both sidei of the track
embankment," said Christoph Zuppinger, a local
resident.
He said the train "sliced through the bus," and
the first car of the train "was listing down the
embankment with the engineer's cabin
completely destroyed. The passenger
compartment was scorched everywhere. Nothing
was left of the bus but burned-out wreckage,
while the crossing house was gutted and
demolished."
All the bus passengers were believed to be
members of a West German sports club and their
wives from the Stuttgart area in southwestern
Germany.
A bus line official, Helmut Hassler, had said
there were 39 passengers and the driver aboard
the bus, but a passenger list police obtained later
showed there were 40 passengers.
The first two cars of the three-car train
derailed, plowing into a field some distance past
the rail crossing.
Thomann said it was not known if the signal
lights at the crossing were operating. He said the
engineer apparently saw the bus and applied the
emergency brake about 160 feet before impact.
"The train whistled, which was strange
because it usually doesn't," said a witness
interviewed on Swiss radio.
Trustees vote to request
$ 1 58 million appropriation
By DINA DEFABO
and JOSEPH KAYS
Collegian Staff Writers
The University will ask for a $l5B
million state appropriation, used to
partially cover its 1983-84 general
funds, the University Board of
Trustees decided Friday.
Under the requested
appropriation $14.6 million
greater than last year's state
appropriation tuition would rise
by 5 percent. But University
President John W. Oswald
admitted that the planned tuition
increase would probably go higher:
"There's no getting around it. It's a
tough, tough year."
Last year, the University also
assumed a 5 percent tuition
increase in determining its
appropriation request. However,
when the University's budget
process concluded, the increase
rose to 14.6 percent.
"In the next couple of years,"
said trustee Kenneth Holderman,
"this University could be charging
its students thousands of dollars a
year to come here. I think the offices
of the University should try to put
together a program where the tuition
won't have to increase all the time."
Student trustee Paul Bell said, "I
hope we don't come back in July
and have to round out the budget
with higher and higher tuition
increases."
In an effort to keep student costs
University workers no
allowed to hold board
By JOSEPH KAYS
Collegian Staff Writer
University employees will no
longer be permitted to run for a
seat on the University Board of
Trustees because of an amendment
the trustees approved Friday.
The amendment, titled
"Qualifications for Membership on
the Board of Trustees," prohibits
any University employee who
works or has worked for the
University in the previous three
years from running for a seat on the
board.
Board President Walter J. Conti
said, "It is simply a conflict of
interest (to have University
employees serving on the board)."
Trustee Joel N. Myers, speaking
against the amendment, said it
may suggest to the governor and
the agricultural and industrial
societies that the board does not
trust their opinions.
A Swiss train remains partially derailed after hitting a West German bus,
killing 39 of the 41 passengers yesterday afternoon.
down, Oswald said the University
intends to reallocate funds within
the University and explore other
sources of funds, especially
industry and alumni.
"This is a most modest, most
prudent (appropriation request),"
Oswald told the trustees. "It is not
related to the establishment of any
new programs; new programs that
may evolve next year must come
from the reallocation of funds."
The $158.07 million appropriatiim
request includes about $150.2 for
general University operations,
about $4.5 million for the College of
Medicine and $3.5 million for the
Elizabethtown Hospital for
Children and Youth.
Noting that the appropriation for
student aid now at $1,760,000
has not changed since 1973-74,
Oswald said the University is
requesting a $1 million increase in
funding for financial aid.
"With recent federal cutbacks in
student aid funds, recent necessary
tuition and board and room
increases and the general state of
the economy, additional student aid
funding is critical," he said.
The proposed University budget
will be submitted to the state
Department of Education next
In addition to the appropriation
request, the University will request
a supplemental appropriation for
1982-83 of $2.1 million to help cover
a $2.3 million increase in the
"The present system has worked
for 125 years," he said. "Why
should we change it now?"
But Conti said an example of a
conflict of interest would be a
faculty/board member voting on
his own salary.
Asked if this was not the same as
a student representative (as now
exists) voting on his own tuition,
Conti said "the student trustee does
not have the same facilities to
express his views as a faculty
member would."
University President John W
Oswald said the student
representative should be thought of
as an individual appointed to the
board who just happens to be a
student
Peter D. Bennett, chairman-elect
of the University Faculty Senate,
said he opposed the amendment
because it comes at a time when the
relationship between faculty and
the board is good.

The trustees also approved a
capital program request of $40.8
million for building and upgrading
existing facilities.
Also at the meeting, the trustees
approved a staff reorganization in
the office of the senior vice
president for finance•and
operations.
George R. Lovette, assistant vice
president for business, has been
named associate senior vice
president for finance and
operations. Steve A. Garban was
promoted from University
controller to senior vice president
for finance and operations in July.
George L. Lane, deputy
controller, has been appointed
controller and Salvatore A.
Fulginiti moves from deputy
controller to controller at the
Hershey Medical Center.
In other business, the trustees:
• Approved sketch plans for a
proposed academic activities
building at University Park.
• Approved sketch plans for
experimental student apartment
housing at University Park.. The
proposed site for the apartments is
the Theatre Arts Production Studio,
which is scheduled for demolition.
• Voted to register the
University name and appropriate
identifying marks with the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office.
When faculty members voted
against unionization, he said, it was
because they considered
themselves more as management
than labor. With the approval of
this amendment, it infers that "the
board perceives faculty not as
management but as labor," he
Barry Myers, associate professor
of business administration, said: "I
can't help but believe this action is
aimed and targeted at retaining the
seats of incumbents" by reducing
the number of people eligible for
election.
Barry Myers said that since he
spoke out against the amendment
last week, he has had several offers
of funds to help him challenge it.
University Attorney Delbert J.
McQuaide said a precedent
prohibiting teachers from serving
on boards of education exists in the
Schuylkill County public school
system.
