Oti lle g we a dnesd s ayA i g < l s l9 " borough for 24-hour student parking
By ALICE RUDOLPH
Collegian Staff Writer
The Organization for Town Independent Students plans
to suggest to borough officials tonight at a public hearing
that 24-hour parking be created for off-campus students on
lots in the borough.
Peter Cutrone, OTIS president, said lots that are not
used extensively could be possible locations, such as the
Westerly Parkway Shopping Plaza, the Hamilton Avenue
Shopping Plaza and the South Allen Street area.
The OTIS plan comes in response to the ongoing neigh
borhood preservation debate, which includes parking
problems.
The suggestion also comes after the University's deci
sion to eliminate 24-hour parking on campus for off
campus students.
In previous years, residence hall students and off-cam
pus students could park 24 hours in Parking Lots 83 north,
83 west, 44, 43 and 42. They could also park in Parking Lot
80 from 6 a.m. to 2:30 a.m.
This year, on-campus students are being issued green
Jordan asks ARHS to explore line alternatives
By GAIL JOHNSON
Collegial? Staff Writer
A new system of accepting dorm
contracts could go into effect as
early as next year, said David
Labuskes, president of the Associa
tion of Residence Hall Students.
The possibility of ' abandoning
dorm contract lines in favor of a
new system is being researched by
University officials and ARHS. Uni
versity President Bryce Jordan
expressed a concern about the need
for a new system which prompted
the action, Labuskes said at the
ARHS meeting last night.
"(Jordan) is very concerned
about adverse public relations from
the lines," he said.

Dorm contracts
of ARHS wrote a letter to former
President John W. Oswald, saying
it would support the 11th line option
until it could prepare a formal
recommendation.
This option, initiated last year,
provided a lottery system for those
who did not want to stand in line to
get a contract.
With Jordan's direction, the ad
ministration and ARHS have begun
to prepare that recommendation.
"Our ultimate goal is to come up
with the best dorm contract sub
mission system," Labuskes said.
Ed Doherty, assistant director of
the Residence Hall Advisory
Board, agreed.
"The University really doesn't
have to ask for student input at

stickers and off-campus and commuting students are
being issued red stickers.
Parking Lot 80 can now be used only by those students
with red stickers from 6 a.m. to 4 a.m., while Parking Lots
83 north, 83 west, 43 and 42 are parking areas for only those
students issued green stickers. Parking Lot 44, near
Beaver Stadium, is an overflow area for vehicles of both
types.
No lots exist for 24-hour off-campus student parking
during the week.
On weekends, students with red or green stickers may
park in any of these student lots. The weekend starts at
5:30 p.m. Friday and ends at 7 a.m. Monday, except for
Parking Lot 80 which ends at 4 a.m. Monday.
Roy Henry, Student Parking Regulations Coordinator
and a member of a University committee that was formed
in fall 1983 to make parking changes on campus, said
changes were made to benefit both the commuting student
and the on-campus student.
Many off-campus students were using University park
ing facilities as a "garage," he said, and his. office
received many cdmplaints in previous years from resi-
all," he said. "They could put in
any system they want. Since they
are asking us, we should go at it
whole hearted."
William H. McKinnon, assistant
vice president for the Office of
Housing and Food Service Opera
tions, told ARHS yesterday that the
deadline for a final proposal is
November 1.
ARHS has begun to collect infor
mation about other dorm contract
acceptance systems from universi
ties across the country. The ARHS
executive council plans to review
the information next week.
After learning more about va
rious methods, members of ARHS
will decide on which systems to
include in a student survey.

dents in the Nittany Halls area who said some cars were
never moved.
Many off-campus students are not willing to pay the
prices downtown lot owners are asking, or they cannot
find space, Henry said.
However, he said, students should not be blamed.
"Apartment owners should be responsible for parking at
apartments," he said.
Part of the parking problem downtown may be caused
by more people living in an apartment than those who
signed the lease.
Cutrone said part of the problem downtown may also be
that some freshmen park their cars there, even though
they are not permitted to park them or drive them on
campus.
"They're clogging our off-campus spaces," he said.
Henry said that because of construction in the Nittany
Halls area of campus, approximately 300 parking spaces
will be eliminated. Parking Lot 42 will eventually be lost to
construction, he said, although students may continue to
park there until it starts.

because they do not have to compete for spaces with
residence hall students, he said.
Allan Derzak, University Parking Coordinator and also
a member of the committee, said, "We were looking for
equity for the students."
Commuting students often could not find spaces, he
said.
Charlene Harrison, assistant director of the Office of
Residential Life Programs, said downtown parking is a
"scarce commodity" and that a "slight difference" in cost
exists between on-campus lots and oft-campus lots.
The University charges $l5 a semester for red and green
stickers. Spaces downtown range from $8 per month to $36
per month.
Cutrone said he contacted Carl Hess, State College
Borough zoning officer, about the OTIS proposal and Hess
told him that the areas are appropriately zoned for the
suggested lots.
Lots in town would not be as expensive, Cutrofie said, if
the lot owners knew that the supply of parking spaces
exceeded the demand.

Revamped Medicare starts Oct. 1
By NAN CRYSTAL ARENS
Collegian Staff Writer
Under the new fixed rate Medicare system,
hospitals will receive a uniform government pay
ment for the treatment of particular ailments, a
spokesman for the Department of Health and
Human Services said yesterday.
The fixed rate is scheduled to take effect Oct. 1.
John Kittrell, press officer for the national
Health Care Financing Administration, a division
of HHS, said the new program will affect the 29
million Americans over the age of 65 who depend on
Medicare insurance for medical and hospital ex
penses. ,
The system, referred to as prospective payment,
will pay a set rate for a given diagnosis rather than
reimburse the hospital for services rendered, he
said.
"Hospitals will know in advance what they will
receive for the treatment of a given diagnosis,"
Kittrell said.
Lance Rose, Administrator for Operations of
Centre Community Hospital explained that the
Medicare diagnoses will be divided into 356 diagno
sis-related groupings. The groupings include heart
attacks, hypertension, pneumonia and gall bladder
disorders.
A fixed rate of payment will then be set for each,
Rose said.
Although 45 percent of Centre Community Hospi
tal's patients are Medicare recipients, Rose said he

does not expect the treatment of these patients to
be adversely affected.
Many doctors have voiced the concern that
hospitals might be unwilling to admit severly ill
patients on Medicare because they might exceed
the time alotted by the Medicare fixed rate pay
ments.
"This hospital would not be reluctant to treat
(patients)," Rose said in response.
Kittrell said most of the concerns associated with
the program stem from the doctors' ignorance of
the program's provisions.
Only 356 diagnoses are recognized under the
Medicare program as compared to the 467 recog
nized for Medicade. The discrepancy between the
two is caused by the elimination of obstetric con
cerns in individuals over the age of 65, Rose said.
,
The payment system will prescribe a set mini
mum and maximum length of time for hospitaliza
tion as well as uniform limits on units of laboratory
work, x-ray and nursing care for a given diagnosis.
Medicare would then pay only for those prescribed
units, Rose said.
If the patient's cost is less than that prescribed
for a given diagnosis, the hospital would be allowed
to retain the Medicare payment, Kittrell said. If,
however, the patient requires more care than the
diagnosis prescribed, the hospital would incur the
loss.
Kittrell said he did not believe this would result in
hospitals providing less than required care to avoid
losses.
Supplemental "outlier" payments will be made
malignant (cancerous) cells that
spread rapidly throughout the body.
The faster-spreading cells are then
used to test drugs and find one that
will stop the spreading. This is vital
because the spreading is what
causes mortalities, Rapp said.
Interferon, a small protein natu
rally manufactured by the body, is
made in response to the virus. Tests
are being conducted-to find out its
potential for stopping the spread of

to hospitals for reasonable charges incurred when
the patient's expenses exceed Medicare's fixed
limit, he said. ,
This will require very careful record, keeping by
the hospital of the units of nursing a patient
required, and the amount of laboratory work and
other services rendered, Kittrell said.
Rose said the addition of one or two staff mem
bers in medical records might be necessary to meet
the bookkeeping requirements.
The hospital is also currently renovating its
computer system which should help with the addi
tional bookkeeping, Rose said.
Rose said he did not think Centre Community
would be hurt financially by the budget change.
The national average hospital stay for a Medi
care patient is 10.3 days, Rose said, and he esti
mated that Centre Community's average stay is
shorter.
More financial strain will be placed on large
hospitals with extensive teaching and residency
programs, and programs of continuing acute care,
he said.
The new Medicare system is based on a ten-year
study at Yale University and a New Jersey experi
ment in prospective payment, Rose said.
A state board was established in New Jersey to
determine the fixed rates for diagnoses, he said.
In the national prospective payment system,
some variation in regional fixed charges will exist
initially, Kittrell said, reflecting factors within the
individual hospitals.
cancer cells, he said
Interferon is being used on a lim
ited number of cancer patients, but
it has some flaws, Rapp said.
The treatment is extremely costly
and not available on a wide basis.
Also, when large quantities of inter
feron exist in the body, the growth
of normal, multiplying cells— es
sential in the healing of wounds and
the making of bone marrow— is
interrupted, he said.
