Task force
for USG
overhaul
discussed
Taste testers give approval
to new residence hall meals
By JODIE DORNAN
Collegian Staff Writer
Before residence hall students ever sink
their teeth into new menu items served in
the dining .halls, such as the recent gyro
sandwich, taco salad, barbecue sandwich or
shrimp scampi, the foods are carefully
tested by students and supervisors.
Each term, students and representatives
of the Residence Hall Advisory Board rate
the new foods in areas such as food choice,
appearance, taste and selection.
The tests are conducted by Linda Ebert,
manager of the experimental kitchen of the
Office of Food Service and Housing Opera
tions. Each test session may include items
'currently on the dining hall menu but need
ing re-evaluation,,or new items that need to
be sampled and approved before becoming
a regular menu dish.
New ideas for items are generated
,through student and supervisor input and
the annual RHAB recipe contest, which was
. held during Winter Term.
Once the dishes begin going through the

The creation of a task force which would look
into the possible reorganization of the Under
graduate Student Government into a more
centralized group was discussed at last night's
meeting of USG Executive Council.
Emil Parvensky, USG president-elect, said
he has publicly supported the creation of the
task force. However, he said it was premature
of the 1982-83 council members to formulate
specifics concerning the task force.
Most of the 1983-84 council members were not
present at last night's meeting to supply their
input and they have only informally discussed
the task force, he said.
Paul Bell, student member of the University
Board of Trustees, said because USG's Aca
demic Assembly has considered the formation
of the task force the council should discuss it.
test groups, suggestions for changes often
come from recipes or flavorings the sam
plers use in their own cooking, Ebert said.
Items that appear on the menu now such as
the five-cup salad and chicken kiev origi
nated from student recipes.
When participating in the taste tests,
students receive portions comparable to
those served in the dining halls. They' test
four or five servings of the same dish which
may vary in basic ingredients or spices
used. Each tester is then asked to evaluate
the four or five samples. •
Lenna Laskaris, an RHAB West Halls
representative who participated in a taste
test; said she only remembered tasting one
terrible item a jello salad mixed with
cola. The dish never appeared on the dining
hall menu. she said.
"Usually. out of four or five types, you
come up with one you like," Laskaris said.
However. before students sample the
dishes, a core group of University adminis
trators test each item. This group includes:
Ebert: William Curley, director of food
services: EriA sanders, assistant director of

USG President Leni Barch said a discussion
by present council members is helpful because
they have worked within the University's sys
tem and, therefore, understand the system
better than the incoming council Members.
A more centralized student government com
pared to the present "umbrella organization" of
USG would serve the students more effectively,
said Steve Ripp, USG Senate president.
A more central and unified organization
would give more expogure to the administra
tion, Barch said.
The task force must represent a broad spec
trum of University interests, Bell said. Thus,
task force members must represent the admin
istration, student organizations, faculty and the
student population, he added.
The task force should not be composed of just
Office of Student Affairs representatives, he
said. A member of the University Faculty
Senate and a high-level administrator should be
food services: Richard Allan, assistant di
rector of food services; Ralph Hosterman,
manager of the Foods Building - , Bruce
Rathfon, manager of , purchasing; and Ber
nard Resnick, director of housing and food
communications.
After the core group has tested an item,
supervisors from each dining hall and the
HUB food service department sample it.
The item is then presented to the student
group as it would apppear in the dining hall.
Curley, Sanders and Ebert attend each of
the student samplings, held in the Foods
Building near the University golf course.
They consider the student input a crucial
part of the testing process, Ebert said, and
encourage students to contact their RHAB
representatives aboutattending these sam
plings.
Each member of the sampling group fills
out an evaluation form. Items are judged for
different things such as texture, appear
ance, consistency and taste.
After each test the evaluations are com
piled by Ebert. BaMng her judgment on the
reactions to the three samplings, she decid
es how each item could be improved or if the
item is ready to be served in the dining
halls.

included, he said.
Student members should be chosen for their
"all-University perspective" and should not
represent one particular student organization,
Barch said.
A central committee must be established to,
select the students on the task force and strict
voting procedures and methods to go about the
possible reorganization must be set, Bell said.
USG adviser Craig Millar said the council
members should ask themselves if a more
centralized student government would allow
their particular organizations to maintain its'
integrity and also continue to serve the "com
mon student good."
The present problem of the administration
not viewing USG as "students appropriately
organized" that is, as the representative stu

centralized student government, said USG Vice
President Lee Facetti. .
GSL renewal applications
will be mailed to students
By ALECIA SWASY
Collegian Staff Writer
Keep watching the mail forms for Guar
anteed Student Loans will soon be on their
way.
Students who receive`GSLs will receive a
renewal application with the new needs anal
ysis form at the end of May, said Diane
Denson, GSL coordinator in the University
Office of Student Aid. The Pennsylvapia High
er Education Assistance Agency will mail the
applications on May 25, she said.
Pennsylvania residents who recieve GSLs
do not need to pick up the new application at
the office because PHEAA will mail the same
form to them, she said:
Students should not rush to get the forms
because the processing of loans for fall will
not begin until June 1, Denson said. Loans for
Summer Term are now being processed, she
said. "
Non-Pennsylvania , residents can get a
needs analysis from their lending institution
or from the Office of Student Aid by the
middle of May.
The needs analysis will only be changed
slightly, Denson said.
Millar said there is no guarantee that the
administration would react differently to a
centralized government but a strong one could
deal more effectively with the administration.
Council members should carefully read pre
vious reorganization proposals before they de
cide to undertake this "very, very difficult
task," he said.
The reorganization proposal of 1977-78 is an
appropriate model to follow, Millar said. That
proposal began with four to five months of
meetings, interviewing and surveys of student
opinion followed by three months of deliber
ations before it was presented to the student
population, he said.
A similar plan was put up to a student vote in
1981, but the referendum was not approved. The
twenty percent turnout was less than the 25
percent required for validation of the vote;
however, 58.6 percent of the voting students
opposed the plan.
Students who work under the College Work-
Study' Program will not have to report their
earnings as income on the needs test for next
year, Denson said. This is the only major
change in the form, she said.
The Office of Student Aid will also be
assigning an a6demic leyel (1,2,3 or 4) to the
student's application, Denson said.
Student's term standing had previously,
been used for the GSL application, but under'
the Federal Student Assistance Satisfactory
Academic Progress Standard, the academic
level will be assigned, she said.
Students must meet a minimum credit level
expectation in order to qualify for a GSL, she
said. '
The minimum acceptable total credits
earned is as follows: •
• 0-24 credits for Academic Level 1.
• 25-52'credits for Academic Level 2.
• 53-84 credits for Academic Level 3.
• 85 or more credits for Academic Level 4
The staff cannot process loans until stu
dents have completed Spring Term because
the total number of credits earned will be
used to determine the student's academic
level, she said.

American Indian scholar honored
By REGINA DEGENNARO
Collegian Staff Writer
The Indian Association at the Uni
yersity will celebrate American,lndi
an Day tomorrow honoring Patrick
Lynch, a professor of the College of
Education.
Lloyd Elm, president of the asso
ciation and a doctorate candidate of
education administration, said Lynch
has been a majorforce in the associa
tion. •
"He shows a great deal of love and
compassion for the American Indi
an," Elm said.
The association began to recruit
American Indians to the University in
1970. The group has about 40 mem
bers, which include wives and chil
dren, Elm said.

Indian Program of Education, said 16

No compromise reached on emissions bill
By BONNIE MORTER
Collegian Staff Writer
State House and Senate members have failed to
reach a compromise on the auto emissions bill
because they cannot agree on who should 'pay for
the installation of clean air control systems in
vehicles that fail emissions inspection.
The Senate consensus is based on the fact that the
emissions program would affect only 12 counties in
the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia areas. Most sen
ators think individual owners should be responsible
for repairing vehicles that did not pass inspection,
said Charles Bacas, staff director for the House
majority leader.
The House consensus supports a reimbursement
clause that would refund a maximum of $5O to
individuals requiring emission-related repairs, Ba
cas said. The refunds would be paid by taxpayers
across the state, not just those who live in the 12-
county mandatory inspection area.
Gov. Dick Thornburgh, however, strongly dis
agrees with any reimbursements beyond the $5
inspection fee.
"Under no circumstances can this administra
tion accept the principle of reimbursing with public
tax money the cost of private automobile repairs to
meet emission standards," Thornburgh said in a
prepared statement last week. "Any such scheme
would impose costs on our state treasury that the
taxpayers cannot afford. It would be ripe for fraud
and abuse and a nightmare to administer."
Sen. J. Doyle Corman, R-Centre County, said he
agrees with Thornburgh, and said the House series
of "crippling amendments" could cost the state up
to $4O million..
Rep. Lynn Herman, R-Centre County, said he

Lynch will be honored at a luncheon
at the Nittany Lion Inn, at noon
tomorrow.
Lynch said that although he will be
honored, the celebration should honor
the graduates themselves.
"It is what the graduates of this
program have done for the Indian
education is what is exciting," Lynch
said.
Lynch said the program is well
known and the word "Penn Stater" in,
American Indian education connotes
things such as the Indian's effective
ness.
A number of people have helped the
program become Ivhat it is today
Lynch said.
"The faculty is impressed with the
backing we have gotten from (Uni
versity President John W. Oswald),"
LynCh said. "Oswald is personally
interested and has helped us a great
deal." Grayson Noley, director of the
American Indian Program at the
University, is also highly respected,
Lynch said.
also thinks reimbursements would open the 'door
for fraud.
"Taxpayers will have to pay for many car
repairs that are unnecesary," Herman said. "The
private garages could abuse the system to make a
better profit."
House members offered to eliminate the fraud
problem by inplementing a state inspection system
comparable to the one now used in New Jersey,
Bacas said, but the Senate rejected the idea.
"That way an impartial government employee
would decide whether repairs were necessary. The
only individuals who would have to go to a private
garage are those who failed the emissions test,"
Bacas said. Taxpayers would know their money
was being used only where it was needed.
In a conference conamittee meeting Wednesday,
the administration said it wanted about 3,000 emis
sions testing machines placed in private garages
across the 12-county area, Bacas said.
Rep. Jim Mandarino, House majority leader, is
concerned with the cost of the machines, Bacas
said. Each machine would cost $B,OOO, with a $1,500
annual maintenance fee.
"That's a lot of money," he said. "The state
inspection system would be cheaper."
Thornburgh has earmarked $l5 million for the
testing program, Bacas said. The Democratic plan
would lessen the burden on the individuals required
to make repairs.
A study estimated that 22 percent (600,000 cars)
of the 3.1 million cars in the 12-county area would
have to be repaired, Bacas said.
"We (Democrats) want to use the $l5 million in
the most fair way. Under our current amendments,
the state would pay for 80 percent of the repairs,
Members from the American Indi
an Association in Washington, D.C.,
will also attend the event on Satur
day. The 25 members from Washing
ton will participate with graduate
students from the University in a
ceremony of dancing and singing
following the luncheon.
The ceremony, at which Elm will
present Lynch with an Indian, name,
will be held at 2:30 p.m. at Fisher
Plaza, weather permitting. In the
event of inclement weather, the cere
mony will be held in 101 Kern.
The Indian Association has had
previous ceremonies at the Universi
ty, but this is the first time a profes
sor has been honored, Elm said.
Lynch will be known to' Indians all
over the world by this name, he said.
The American Indian Graduate
Program at the University has more
master and doctoral programs than
any other university, Elm said.
"There are over 100 master degree
programs and by August there will be
an excess of 20 Ph.D.s," Elm said.
Trust us, we're
the specialists
The Daily Collegian Friday, April 22, 1983-7
The University has a graduate pro
gram for the American Indian but
does not have an undergraduate pro
gram, Elm said.
"The primary goal of the associa
tion is to bring to the University a
program to recruit undergraduates,"
Elm said.
Although federal money will be
needed to fund this, the University
has made a tremendous contribution
to the American Indian, Elm said.
The University has made it possible
for the American Indian to adminis
ter his own programs, Elm said. For
example, Geralk Gipp is president of
the Haskell Indian Junior College in
Lawrence, Kan. Gipp is the first
Indian president of the junior college
and is a graduate of the University,
Elm said.
After the celebration, the Penn
State lacrosse team will host the All-
Star Indian lacrosse team at 7:30
tomorrow night. The Indian lacrosse
team.will participate in the National
Championship in Baltimore in June.
while the individual would only have to pay for 20
percent," Bacas said.
"The administration and those opposing re
imbursement are hung up on the morality of means
as opposed to the morality of ends," he said. "They
don't want reimbursements for the clean air sys
tems coming out of taxpayers' pockets, and in
effect, are saying that clean air is not a public
good."
However, he said, the governor set aside $l5
million last year and another $l5 million this year
to clean up the nuclear facility at Three Mile Island
in Middletown, Dauphin County. That money
comes from the taxpayers, and the justification is
that TMI is a public good, even though it is a
private company, Bacas said.
The reimbursements to individuals affected in
the 12-county area are thought of in a similar
fashion.
Although Bacas said oppositiori to reimburse
ments comes from Republicans, Rep. Ruth Rudy,
D-Centre County, said she did not particularly`
favor the idea of, refunding individuals for car
repairs.
However, Rudy said, she voted in favor of the.
House proposal, including the reimbursemeltt•
clause, because she thought time rather than'.
money was the issue. •
'
A compromise in the legislature is needed as sooti:
as possible, she said. Federal highway funding will:
be delayed until the auto emissions bill is passed;
and air quality improved. Without the funditig,,-
summer highway construction and jobs would be:
reduced drastically.
Rudy also voted in favor of the Senate change .
last week, which amounted to the deletion of the
reimbursement clause. 1'
