BOCICKE 413
Second Period - 9:35 to 10:50
Discounts available
with card from USG
By CHRISTINE MURRAY
Collegian Staff Writer
Student Savings Cards, which can
be used to get discounts on merchan
dise at some local businesses, are
now available, at no cost, through the
Undergraduate Student Government.
The names of 14 restaurants and
speciality shops in State College and
the types of discount they each offer
are listed on the cards. _ ..
For example, Ladybug, 110 E. Col
lege Ave., offers 15 percent discounts
on Wednesdays and Fridays from 6 to
9 p.m. The Nutri/System Weight Loss
Medical Center, 315 South Allen St.,
offers a special student rate with the
card.
The cards, produced by University
Press International in Richardson,
Texas, expire Aug. 31,1984, and must
be presented before purchases are
made. The cards cannot be used when
purchasing sale items
USG President Emil Parvensky
said he received 40,000 cards, adding
that they will be available in 203 HUB
throughout the Summer Session and
at Fall Semester registration.
University'Press originally signed
a contract with USG stating that the
cards would be availaible on or
around March 11. v
However, the company could not
meet that date because Robert
Green, a University Press sales rep
resentative, quit after three" months
in State College.
Parvensky said Green was having

a hard time getting businesses to
advertise on the cards and said he
was getting frustrated because many
of the merchants were not interested
in the savings card.
Ron Hart, University Press presi
dent, said it usually takes from six
days to a few months to collect the
required 17 to 21 businesses for the
savings card. The time Green spent
collecting advertisers was the longest
spent to fill a card and he did not fill it
completely, Hart said
The cards were originally supposed
to be of a laminated plastic, similar to
a credit card, but they were made of
lighter weight plastic because fewer
businesses advertised on the card,
Hart said.
Parvensky said the businesses are
enthusiastic about the cards and they
hope to increase business by offering
the discounts.
Lady bug manager Ann Gavlick
said she hopes the cards will increase
business on Wednesday and Friday
evenings, the time the store’s dis
count is offered.
Gavlick said she shared the $449
advertising fee with the manager of
the Ladybug Hairworks, Debra Burg
er.
Douglas Albert, owner of Uncle
Eli’s, 129 E. Beaver Ave., said he
thinks the cards will generate new
business.
New people are always coming into
town and a store in State College can
not sit back and rely on its reputation,
he said.
Jordan:
analysis
By PHIL GUTIS
Collegian Staff Writer
Incoming University President Bryce Jor
dan’s announcement of his first objective for
Penn State what he calls strategic planning
signals a continued University-wide em
phasis on planning, but could mean a partial
loss of autonomy for some administrators.
Jordan says his strategic goals build on the
University’s last major planning effort, the
“Perspective on the ’Bos.” But, in fact, the
incoming president’s plan is a drastic switch
from the Perspective. Instead of providing
general directional guidelines, as the Per
spective did, strategic planning would involve
specific dates for hard-nosed goals for each of

In interviews on the 13-year presidency of
John. W. Oswald, who retires on June 30,
many University administrators most no
tably, deans of the academic colleges said
that while they received broad guidelines
from Old Main in terms of financial direction,
they were generally given freedom to run
their departments.
Of course, Jordan has not suggested that
Old Main administrators run the University’s
colleges and offices. He has, however, placed
more emphasis on the president and his
staff’s role in deciding what the University’s
priorities will be in the next several years.
With a newly created position of director of
strategic planning reporting directly to
Jordan the president will be able to exert

Jordan recently described his goals for
strategic planning at a Harrisburg news
conference held in conjunction with a meeting
of the Pennsylvania Association of Newspa

First, he said, will be the appointment of a
director of strategic planning who will create
a format and tentative timetable for the
strategic planning operation.
Once a format is established, Jordan said,
the strategic planning director would instruct
the deans and vice presidents to work With
department heads in teaching, research and
public service. Together, they would look at
“the needs, the capability and the resources
required to meet goals which they suggest as
a part of strategic planning operation.”
Those many departmental plans would then
be centralized as a college’s or department’s

proposed strategic plan, Jordan said. Finally,
the central administration would draft a
University-wide strategic plan, using the indi
vidual college and department plans.
What the University will have, in Jordan’s
words, is a process “evolving out of Old Main
but bubbling up from the unit'level.”
What the University has under Oswald is an
extremely supportive president “in a situa
tion where being supportive was much more a
matter of allowing things to develop and
happen as opposed to making them happen,”
said Robert J. Scannell, vice president and
dean of the University Commonwealth Edu
cational System, before Jordan announced
his plan.
Some administrators have questioned the
political feasibility of forming a University
wide strategic plan because of the Universi
ty’s diverse constituencies which include
and will be designated by painted lane markings, Jones
said. The paths, which begin at the corner of Curtin Road
and University Drive and continue to the Curtin Road and
Porter Road intersection, will be four feet wide on the
north side of Curtin Road and eight feet wide on the south
side.
From Porter Road, which becomes Fox Hollow Road, to
Toftrees, the bicycle paths will be four feet wide on both
sides, Jones said.
Regular traffic movement may be restricted to one lane
during the construction,

Penn State for many different things.
One member of the University Board of
Trustees, while discussing Oswald’s presiden
cy, said that because the University has
lacked structured planning, it has spent much
of its time putting out fires.
With a projected starting date of October,
Jordan said he thinks it will take at least a
year to make the University’s strategic plan
ning system operative. But by announcing his
strategic planning goals as his first priority,
and adding tough language warning adminis
trators that he will not allow the strategic
plans to become wish lists, Jordan has told
faculty members and administrators that the
University will no longer chase after fires.
