Semester Hotline
delayed one week
, By ANN MATTURRO
Collegian Staff Writer
Because of a lack of ,semester
transition handbooks in each Uni
versity department, the Semester
Hotline, scheduled for operation
this week, was postponed until next
week, the president of the Under
graduate Student Government's
Academic Assembly said.
Chris Hopwood said the hotline,
sponsored by the Academic Assem
bly, will give students an opportuni
ty to ask questions about changes in
their individual departments and
colleges next year.
"We're having some problems
getting information from the indi
vidual departments," Hopwood
said. "Many departments don't
have any available information and
all they give us is vague handouts."
• However, James R. Dungan, Cal
endar Conversion Council secre
tary, said: "It would seem to me
that, by this time, the departments
should have adequate information.
And, I don't know why Academic
Assembly is haiiing any problems."
Hopwood said the departments

have been notified that the hotline
will be in operation April 17 to 21,
"come hell' or high water," even if
the assembly has not received suffi
cient information from some of the
departments.
If a situation like that occurs, the
hotline will be used to show the
assembly exactly what student con
cerns are, Hopwood said.
"If students call and we don't
havelhe information they need, we
will direct them to the appropriate
person or department," Hopwood
said.
Most of the individual depart
ments in the College of Education
and the College of Health, Physical
Education and Recreation are well
organized, Hopwood said.
But, "some of the more technical,
colleges like (the colleges of Busi
ness Administration, Engineering
and Science) have caused us many
problems," he said.'
Unmotivated Academic Assem
bly members are another part of
the problem, Hopwood said.
"It's been hard to get our own
members motivated to get out to

information," he said:
Sue Leech, incoming Academic
Assembly vice president, was re
sponsible for collecting information
from the College of Arts and Ar
chitecture. Many of the depart
ments within the college could not
give .her the information she
needed, she said.
"Nothing seemed finished,"
Leech said. "I guegs I should have
pursued them a little more, but
being sent all over to every depart
ment is very frustrating."
Hopwood said he urges any stu
dent who is given the "runaround"
by any college not to be compla
cent, and suggested the student
demand the information from his
individual department.
"Students have a right to know
what the hell's going on, especially
at this stage in time, so they can
properly plan their futures under
the semester system," Hopwood
said.
Current freshmen' and next
year's seniors, who are not "on
track" for graduation, will'proba
bly experience the most problems
under the semester system, Hop
wood said.
Volunteers from the Academic
Assembly will be available to an

p.m. Sunday through Thursday.
Students can call the USG office at

Legislation would restrict tenant fees
By MICHAEL NEWNAM
Collegian Staff Writer
Sen. J. Doyle Corman, R-Centre County, has reintro
duced legislation to the state Senate that would restrict
landlords from imposing specific nonrefundable fees on
tenants in lease agreements.
Federal law now permits requiring a security deposit of
up to two months' rent during the first year of any lease,
but some landlords impose what are called "non-refunda
ble reconditioning fees" in the contract. '
Corman said additional fees which are imposed when
the tenant vacates, are unnecessary.
"A landlord may ask you for a damage security depos
it," he said. "If you leave the place undamaged, you
should get your money refunded. •
"Some landlords say (they) don't care if the place isn't
damaged; (they are) going to have to shampoo the carpet
and paint the Walls (when the tenant leaves) so they
charge reconditioning fees," he said.
Charley Burch, public information officer for the state
Senate majority, said the security deposit is sufficient to
cover any damages to an apartment. If a landlord thinks
the security deposit would not cover all damages, Burch
said the landlord could seek legal recourse.
Corman introduced a similar bill in the 1981-82 session
that passed the Senate by a 44-0 vote but died in the House.
The bill was never acted upon in the House, Burch said.
"I don't think there was any organized opposition to the
bill. There was just insufficient time to handle it," Burch
said. "I think it will pass this time around. The very fact it
passed unanimously in the Senate before shows how well
accepted ( the bill) was."
Corman said a few members of the House said they did
not want to change the existing landlord/tenant contracts
because they were satisfied with them.
Burch said landlords in smaller communities, as well as
large cities, charge the reconditioning fees. Most State

`A landlord may ask you for a

should get your money refunded.'
—Sen. J. Doyle Corman, R-Centre County
College landlords, if any, do not impose them.
Bill Groves, office manager with S.C. Sun Corp., 418
Clay Lane, said he is not aware of any landlord in this area
that imposes reconditioning fees.
"The only additional fees we charge are for first year
tenants to change their own locks," Groves said. "We
have no complaints with (the bill) whatsoever."
Mary Frantz, property manager with The Benchmark
Group, 818 Bellair Ave., said ,the deposits it holds are
returned after damages are subtracted. The Benchmark
Group manages Heritage Oaks Apartments, Vairo Boule
vard apartments and University Terrace.
Lise Fisher, a member of the Organization for Town
Independent Students, said Lindlords in this area usually
do not ask for reconditioning fees, but OTIS receives
complaints about landlords who use money from security
deposits for cleaning purposes.
"Some (landlords) will take out money for painting,"
Fisher said.
Fisher said OTIS advises tenants to complete a damage
list when they agree to rent from a landlord. The list
should include any damaged item in the apartment.
"If there's anything wrong with the apartment when you
move in, you won't get charged for it when you move out,"
Fisher said. "The landlord should sign (the list) and the
tenant should keep a copy of it for himself."

Mobile simulator teaches students about fires
By G. LoMONACO
Collegian Staff Writer
As the smoke seeps under the
door, a student plugs up the cracks
with a sheet and runs to the window
for air. He feels the door for heat
and exits into the smoke-filled hall
way.
The student cautiously exits and
reaches for the fire alarm to alert
his friends and, .while gasping for
air, crawls down the corridor to the
nearest door and flees the burning
building.
Although the scene is only a simu
lation conducted by University
Safety Services, it enables students
to experience what it is like to be in
an actual fire.
Safety Services opened , the doors
of its new Mobile Fire Safety Unit or
"Fire Simulator" for the first group
of students in North and West Halls
this week and invited them to walk
through a "fire."
The 20-minute training session
began in a dorm room with an
informal talk by Safety Services
personnel. Groups consisting of
eight students learned about the
chemistry of fires; they were also
taught about the types of fires, fire
alarm. systems, false alarms, 'fire
drill, and fire extinguishers and how

to operate them. Fire survival tech
niques, such as counting doors to an
exit when the smoke is too thick to
see through, were explained.
The lecture also reviewed fire
safety techniques.
The simulator will be parked in
the parking lot behind Beaver Hall
on Monday and Tuesday for stu
dents in the Centre, Pollock, Nitta
ny and South areas. It will be in the
East Halls area April 25 and 26 but a
specific place has not been chosen.
`I never had been in a really smoked•filled
room. I never had to depend on myself to get
out.'
Don Miller (3rd-meteorology),
who participated in the simulation ;
said he would .now know what to
expect in a real fire.
"I never had been in a really
smoked-filled room," he said. "I
never had to depend on myself to
get out.
"I knew (the demonstration)
wasn't real, but I'll be a little bit
more rational; at least I know what

Brad Mello, an orientation chair
man for the University, said the
lecture also shows students which
type of extinguisher to use for the
different types of fires.
An "A
-type" extinguisher is used
to put out paper fires. "B" is used
for flammable liquids and "C" is
used for electrical fires.
"I think that was really helpful
because I wouldn't know to pick up

fire, "They have no choice. Then it's

During the mock fire, students
used survival techniques they had
just learned to travel through a
corridor with a 100-degree tempera
ture reading and smoke too thick to
see through.
Someone pulled the fire alarm
which sounded, the bell. The stu
dents groped their way on their
hands and knees, feeling their'way
through the corridor and counted
doorways to reach the fire exit and
fresh air in the stairwell.
To the participants, the air in the
hallways is "like being reborn,"
because of the noticeable difference
of less smoke, said Tom Hand, Uni
versity fire safety specialist and
member of Alpha Fire Company.
This showed students the impor
tance of keeping fire doors closed,
he said.
Hand said he would like to expand
the use of the fire simulator outside
the University.
The University Office of Gifts and
Endowments donated the bulk of
the $15,000 final estimated cost of
the simulator. The 40-by-14-foot tra
iler has a 7,000 watt gasoline-run
generator, which heats the corridor
with extra coil heaters to intensify
the heat.

this year, Judi Smith, current presi
dent of CHRA, said. She noted that
the increase probably occured be
cause this year's ballot listed two sets
of candidates, whereas last year she
ran unopposed.
Rovder, president-elect of East
Residence Association, said she and
Kennedy plan to publicize the asso
ciation more.
"A lot of students are not aware of
what it is and what it can do for
them," she explained.
She added that they will also en
courage the executive council to be
come more closely knit and to work
more closely with house presidents.
Zuech, president-elect of CHRA,
plans to use the semester system to
the advantage of the 'organization.
"One of our main objectives is
redefining the roles of the resident
assistant and house president by re-.
delegating some of the responsibili
ties," she said.
The semester system will also pro
vide more opportunity for activities,
Zuech said. "You won't be getting hit
with 'finals every ten weeks," she
noted.
