Council candidates debate issues
By TONY PHYRILLAS
Collegian Staff Writer
The first public meeting of Repub
lican candidates for the State Col
lege Municipal Council brought out
varied views of the council's past
performance and the future direc
tion of the borough.
Four of the six candidates seeking
the Republican nomination to the
council James B. Bartoo, R.
Thomas. Berner, Aura Lee Supina
and Joseph Wakeley Jr. spoke
last night at a Candidates Night
sponsored by the College Republi
cans:
Because Wakeley was the only
incumbent council member pre
sent, criticism of the council's per
formance was kept to a minimum,
with only Berner criticizing many of
the council's past actions.
Wakeley, the council president,
answered the criticism by standing
by the council's record of fiscal
accomplishments.
The candidates opened with a
brief statement of why they are
running and what their philosophies
of local government are.
The candidates also answered
questions from the audience on key
issues fading State College the
Community Development Block
Grant allocation, housing condi
tions, regional cooperation and the
development of McAllister Alley.
Berner, a University assistant
professor of journalism, said he
wants to see a community for all
ages where senior citizens can
have easy access to the downtown
at all hours and children can cross
the streets safely.

"The transportation patterns in
the borough are screwed up," Bern
er said. "The auto is king and the
pedestrian is nothing just some
one to get hit by cars."
To reverse this trend, Berner pro
posed lowering speed limits and
installing more traffic signals in, the
borough.
He also said the borough needs
more open spaces and pedestrian
access to the downtown, which can
be provided for with pedestrian
amenities and more off-street park
ing.
Bartoo, dean of the University's
Graduate School, said the major
issue facing the council is establish
ing firm relationships with the Uni
versity and surrounding
municipalities.
"The future and fortune of the
University are closely tied to the
future and fortune of the commu-,
nity," Bartoo said. "The University
and the community have been good
neighbors over the years and I hope
to contribute to this in the future."
Bartoo also stressed the impor
tance of maintaining good
relationships with the municipali
ties in what he calls the greater
State College area.
State College is receiving block
grant money because the borough's
population is augmented with about
65,000 people from surrounding
townships, Bartoo said, and
relationships among the municipali
ties are intertwined and have to be
attended to carefully.
Aura Lee Supina, a 26-year resi
dent of the borough, said that be
cause neither she nor her husband is
connected with the University or
works in the borough, she is the one
candidate without any conflicts of
interest.
Supina said she does not have a
full-time job except as a home
maker and she would have much ;
free time to put to good use if''
elected to the council.
She said she is concerned with the
road system that leads into State
College, a collection of unfinished
roads that make access in the re
gion difficult.
"When we first came here, State
College was a small town at a cross
roads," she said. "This in now a
small city on that same cross
roads."
Completion of three road projects
the University Drive bypass, the
State College bypass, and the Park
Avenue extension which would
provide access to Centre Commu
nity Hospital, would help make
travel easier in the area, she said.
Another of her concerns, Supina
said, is the older housing throughout
the borough.
"We came here in 1956 and we've
lived in a number of houses in the
downtown area and I want to find
out why some, of those houses are
still there," she said.
Wakeley reviewed his four-year
record on the council and his perfor
mance as council president since
Jan. 1982.
Among the goals Wakeley took
credit for accomplishing while serv
ing on the council are: more meet
ings open to the public, police foot
patrols in the downtown and in
creased pedestrian rights protected
by the pedestrian commission.
In the area of fiscal responsibili-
ty, Wakeley said the council, under
his leadership, has provided full
community services with no tax
increases and has saved the bo
rough between $90,000 and $50,000
by selling the Centre Cab Co. to a
private business.
In response to a question of how
the borough should spend this
year's block grant allocation, Bern
er said he favors the construction of
a community center, although he
would hold extensive public hear
ings to find out what local citizens
want done with the money before
making a decision.
Supida also supported a proposal
for a community center, saying that
the borough does not have a facility
for teenagers to go to.
Bartoo said he did not know
enough about the areas covered by
CDBG funds to recommend specific
projects, but said his experience
working with government grants
over the years would help him de
cide on how best to allocate the
funds.
Wakeley defended the council's
use of the money last year to rebuild
borough streets.
"We have a great need to repair
our infrastructure streets, storm
water and sanitary sewers," Wake
ley said. "I know it's not a very
romantic area, but you can't devel
op the downtown without first tak
ing care of this."
Opinions on how best to . develop
McAllister Alley into a pedestrian
mall were mixed.
Wakeley said he wants to see the
borough develop the alley by spend
ing money for its own alley plan.

Construction
should begin
By S.A. MILLER
Collegian Staff Writer
If all continues as planned, con
struction of the Centre Community
Hospital's new wing should begin in
June.
The new wing will house a cancer
treatment center, a respiratory the
rapy unit, data processing services
and . office space.
The hospital's board of trustees
recently approved an agreement with
Paul E. Hickes, Inc. of Alexandria,
Pa., that guarantees construction
costs for the new wing will not exceed
$1.84 million.
Board member Virginia Eisenstein
said she is especially happy that a
cancer treatment center will be built
in the area.
"Now, in order to get radiation
therapy, people have to go to Wil
liamsport, Geisinger (Medical Center
in Danville, Pa.) or Hershey,"
Eisenstein said. "It's very difficult

Nothing else feels like real g

Don Spackman, engineer for the
board, said the new cancer treatment
center will be able to handle an esti
mated 405 cancer, patients a year,
with each patient receiving about 20
treatments a year. A director for the
center will be named later this year,
he added.
The hospital will finance the new
wing with a portion of funds set aside
to cover the depreciation of existing
facilities. Spackman said such funds
are usually used to cover the cost of
rebuilding facilities that have fully
depreciated. The new wing will in
crease the hospital's existing capaci
ty in the respiratory therapy unit, the
data processing center and the office
space.
The $4.1 million originally budgeted
for the project has been decreased to
$3.3 million because of lower con
struction costs, Eisenstein said.

2 pair for
Marathon to benefit handicapped
By MARIA NICOLO
Collegian Staff Writer
From dancing to polesitting, phil
anthropic marathons at the Universi
ty have traditionally included a wide
range of non-stop events.
This weekend the term "mar
athon" will be applied in its original
sense when participants run laps
around Old Main in the 9th Annual
Delta Chi Marathon, held in conjunc
tion with Kappa Delta sorority.
Money raised from the marathon's
$2O entrance fee is deposited in a
special bank account first established
in 1979; the building interest is used to
award scholarships to handicapped
students at the University, said Bren
da Hameister, coordinator of Serv
ices for Disabled Student Assistance
Center.
The amount awarded for the schol-

Poling for dollars in pouring rain may
have left the members of Chi Phi
fraternity with colds, but the approxi
mate $2,000 raised for the Muscular
Dystrophy Association , is nothing to
sneeze at.
Pole-a-thon Chairman Tim Johnson
said that although it rained all week
end, soaking both canners and pole
sitters, the bad weather may have
helped the event in a roundabout way.
"Technically the weather should

increased from $135 last year, Ham
eister said.
"I like the' way (the scholarship
program) is set up so that all money
raised is still there earning year after
year," she said.
The marathon is "one of the few
philanthropies that the money goes
back to the students at Penn State . . .
so it means a little bit more," event
Chairman Andy Nachamie said. Last
year, the marathon raised $3,200.
Starting time for the event is Fri
day at 5 p.m. when the first relay
teams scheduled form a line on Col
lege Avenue near the base of the
mall. The course will take runners up
the mall to circle in front of Old Main
and return to College Avenue on the
side of the Human Development
Building.

have gotten sympathy money since
there really was no logical reason for

The $1,700 mostly raised from can

Johnson said. "It's really hard to can
in State College because people are
just crushed with philanthropies."

money was in quarters, Johnson said

in fair condition
and improving
By MICHAEL J. VAND
Collegian Staff Writer
A University student, the victim
of a stabbing early Sunday morn
ing, is continuing to improve in the
intensive care unit of Centre Com
munity Hospital.
Randolph Baker (12th-account
ing) was listed in fair condition
yesterday afternoon, a hospital
spokeswoman said.
- Baker was stabbed in the chest
while involved in a fight at Phi
Kappa Tau fraternity, 408 E.
Fairmount Ave. According to po
lice reports, both Baker and his
assailant are residents of the fra
ternity. Police have not identified
the other person involved in the
fight.
Police said yesterday that they
are continuing to investigate. A
police spokesman said charges
will not be filed until the investiga
tion is complete. He explained that
police must determine if the stab
bing was accidental or if it war
rants a charge such as aggravated
assault or attempted homicide,
before taking action.
