Vedam denied writ of habeas corpus
Government approves merger of 3 rail lines
By H. JOSEF HEBERT
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON The government approved
yesterday the merger of three Western railroads
the Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific and Western
Pacific into a single line that will serve 21 states
from the Puget Sound to the Gulf Coast.
Despite protests from competing railroads, the
Interstate Commerce Commission said shippers
and the public will benefit from the combination.
The railroads are expected to begin formal merger
proceedings within 30 days.
The prospective merger has been one of the most
controversial in recent years, with other western
railroads claiming it will create a powerful rail
system that will rob them of business and threaten
their existence.
But the ICC, by a 5-1 vote, rejected those argu
ments.
Instead, the commission said, shippers will be
better served by the single line that would allow
goods to go directly across two-thirds of the nation.

A writ of habeas corpus demands that a prison

held without bail in Centre County prison since

A petition filed by Vedam's attorney, Amos
Goodall, contended that a "hearsay" report from
an FBI ballistics expert was improperly relied
upon as evidence. In legal terms, a hearsay
report is one made by someone who is not present
in court.

Vegetarianism takes on new popularity
By REBECCA ALBERT
Collegian Staff Writer
Fruit salad, pinto bean spread, on pita
bread, and lowfat milk.
Sound like an appetizing lunch? It might if
you were a vegetarian.
"There are different types of vegetarians,"
said Sue Krebs-Smith, a graduate assistant on
staff at the Nutrition Information and Re
source Center in Benedict House, Elm Road.
"The lacto-ovo vegetarian eats both eggs
and milk products," she said. "The ovo vege
tarian eats egg products but no milk prod
ucts; the lacto vegetarian eats milk products
but no egg products; and the vegan eats no
animal products at all."
Vegetarians are pretty well read on the
subject, she said, and are generally well
nourished. A vegetarian diet is a healthy one,
provided that meals are balanced and include
protein foods like peanut butter, kidney

People become vegetarians for different
reasons, Krebs-Smith said.
Some people do it because they like it, some
do it for religious reasons and others do it for
ethical reasons.
"I had read an article in a magazine about
it and it sounded like an interesting alterna
tive to my eating habits," said Vera Lynne
Pavlischek (9th-administration of justice), a
vegetarian since 1979.
"After I tried it for six months there was no
going back," Pavlischek said. "And I lost
about 15 pounds, which helped."
"I abstain from the three f's - - flesh, fish
and fowl," she said.
She added that she thinks she is healthier
than ever.
"It's also cheaper," Pavlischek said
"Meat's too expensive."
Kelly Fuighum (6th-business administra-
tion) said that being a vegetarian gives her
extra energy.
"I spent a summer with vegetarians, and I
stopped eating meat . . . I've never felt as
healthy," she said.
, The more a person knows about vegetaria
nism the easier it is to be one, Fulghum said.
"You have to read books and ask people,"
she said. "You learn to get the right nutrui
tion by mixing foods."
Anita Catiambone (11th-mechanical engi
neering), a vegetarian for five years, said she
became one because she didn't like the idea of
eating animals.
"I haven't had any problem with nutrition,"
Catiambone said. "In fact, I've gotten sick
less now than before."
Howver, she added, dining out can be
difficult.
"I have trouble especially when I go out to
nicer restaurants because they serve more
veal and steak," Catiambone said. .

A gioup of people who choose to be lacto
vegetarians for religious reasons are the
Hare Krishnas.
"We consider vegetarianism to be impor
tant in terms of nonviolenCe to other human
beings," Krishna member Stambha das said.
"It's one of our creeds."
There are positive factors to vegetaria
nism, he said.
"Milk is very important for the devel
opment of the brain," he said. "It's a natural
source that comes out of a symbolic
relationship with the cow.
"Our diet is based on protein complement
ing, which means that by combining foods
properly a person is able to get everything for
a balanced diet."
The Hare Krishnas prepare their food by
using spicing techniques from India, he said.

Vegetarian Cooking Course," a Free Univer
sity course, said most people don't think
aboUt what they put into their bodies.
"I think people are now getting some vague
idea that all this meat isn't good for them," he
said. "It seems there are more vegetarians
now than when I came here three and a half
years ago."
, The New Morning Natural Food Store, 115
S. Fraser St., sells a variety of natural foods
that attracts many vegetarians.
"I think there are more people into health
foods now," manager Leslie Shallcross said.
"Most of the dietary recommendations have
recommended that people reduce their intake
of animal products."
If anyone is interested in vegetarianism or
would like more information on the subject,.
he can go to the Nutrition Information and
