Joseph J. Mansfield said his of fice is working now to identify 20,- 000 prospective donors because only one in every three or four will give to the University. “Campaign giving is noj; typical -giving, it is crisis giving,” he said. I “It’s once-in-a-lifetime giving.” Mansfield made his comments at yesterday’s University Faculty Senate meeting. He told the sen ators that faculty participation could mean the difference between “a moderately successful cam paign and an overwhelmingly suc cessful campaign.” “This is your campaign. It’s not , mine; it’s not the administra ; tion’s,” he said. “It’s going to bene- Safety precautions may prevent burglaries during break By ALICE RUDOLPH Collegian Staff Writer ;The number of burglaries in State College usually increases during school breaks, but students and others who will be away between semesters this year can take preventive mea sures to protect their property, a crime pre vention specialist said yesterday. “Prevention is the best bet because most burglars are amateurs, and if the target is difficult, they’ll pick an easier target,” said David H. Caster of the State College Police Department. He suggested numerous ways that students CELEBRATE MASS WITH US on the 3rd Sunday of Advent 11 Dec. ’B3 Rec Hall, 11:00 a.m. Sponsored by: Newman Student Assn. & Penn State Catholic Center fit the University community.” - The goal of the campaign is to double the University’s current growth rate of 17 percent for gifts. On a list of the top 30 institutions for private philanthropies in 1982, the University ranked 28th, falling from 25th in 1981. The top four institutions on the list University of California at Los Angeles, Uni versity of Minnesota, University of Michigan and University of Ilinois are all currently involved in or have recently finished a capital fundraising campaigns, Mansfield said. “There is little difference these days between public and private universities,” he added. “Everyone is looking for funding.” Mansfield said gifts to the Uni versity come in three forms endowments, facilities and pro grams. Although he said he thinks the largest number of gifts will come in the form of endowments, he said he could not be sure where the gifts will come in at the end of the campaign. auii ete.r , m r p *• * th r - i» T f« r •• «"* srning" iiiiiiii1111111 0 .!!!!01 for donors can protect their property during the semes ter break.

Mansfield said each of the col leges and campuses will have a senior development officer on his staff to coordinate fundraising ef forts between and within units. He added that the purposes of the campaign are to-identify the crite ria of academic needs, to raise consciousness about these needs, to identify leadership and to focus on a long-range plan for meeting these needs. He called raising money a by-product of the campaign. “A campaign takes an institution to a new level of funding and keeps it there,” he said. The steps the University is fol lowing in initiating the campaign include identifying the University’s needs, prospective donors and vol unteers to approach the donors and then matching up the two and fi nally asking for a gift.

Bartoo announced the plan at yesterday’s University Faculty Senate meeting. He said the University now has 17 statements from the various cam puses ranging from one paragraph to eight to 10 page papers. By making a general statement about promotion and tenure for all of the Commonwealth campuses, Bar too said much of the ambiguity sur rounding these statements could be cleared up. The definitions of a professor’s roles including teaching, research, scholarship and service are not clear under the current statements for professors at Commonwealth campuses working toward tenure. He said they do not reflect the particular m Criteria set for Commonwealth campuses jjf mission of these campuses. He added that the statement would be drafted under full consultation with campus faculty organizations. Bartoo's comments came in an swer to some of the comments made at the' Nov. 1 University Faculty Senate meeting. Prior to his presen tation, he thanked senators for their letters on the subject which he said he considers “valuable input.” “I am convinced that even the best system of promotion and tenure can be improved upon,” he said. In addition to developing a single set of criteria for promotion and tenure at Commonwealth campuses, the administration has plans for four other prospective changes. Bartoo said an attempt has to be made to stimulate consultation at various levels of the promotion and tenure process. He said this includes a need for a more detailed review at the two- and four-year levels. Included in this idea is a suggestion for members of promotion and tenure committees to inform faculty mem bers more specifically about their strengths and weaknesses. The ad ministration is also suggesting a mester break, McNichol said, and University police know who-should be entering the build ings during the break. Caster and McNichol both said that stu dents should participate in Operation Identifi cation, a nationwide program that encourages people to engrave their driver’s license number on their valuables. By doing this, students can decrease the chance of their valuables being stolen and increase the chance of them being recovered if they are stolen, Caster said. The number for the State College police is « He explained that driver’s license numbers 234-0234, and the number for University Po are used because the police have access to lice Services is 863-1111. slight change in the order of review . moving the departmental review be- ( fore the campus review. ; A second prospective change is to ! begin direct consultation between the | vice president and dean for the Com- ■ monwealth Educational System and 1 campus-based committees where dis- j( crepency exists among promotion • and tenure committees. !

The Glee Club has come a long way since then. A boom in 1912 increased the club’s membership to 100, Stack said. Then directed by Clarence C. Robinson, the Glee Club gave its first Pittsburgh con cert on the weekend of the Pitt- Penn State football game, he said. Trinkley said the club traditional ly has been known for a strong tie to football spirit. The singers have promoted traditional fight songs as well as original ones, he'said. “We’re part of the tradition of Penn State,” Trinkley said. Stack said during the 1920’s and 1930’s the Penn State Glee Club won many intercollegiate singing con tests at state, regional and national levels. I The University’s most famous singing alumnus, Fred Waring, was a Glee Clubber, he said. The club appeared on his “Pleasure Time” radio program in New York City during its 1940 spring tour. In recent years, the Glee Club has toured throughout Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, New Jersey, Dela ware, Maryland and Washington, D.C., Trinkley said. The club has also made two major recordings: one to celebrate the U.S. Bicenten nial in 1976 with a repertoire of Pennsylvania music, and one in 1978 to celebrate the Glee Club’s 90th anniversary. The Glee Club has sung with many other choral groups, includ ing the West Point Glee Club, the glee clubs of the University of Michigan, the University of Cincin nati, Ohio State University and Rutgers University, and the wom- ‘Membership is open to any student who can sing in the tenor or bass range, and the auditions are not strenuous.’ —Bruce Trinkley en’s choruses of Cornell University, Rutgers University, Carlow Col lege, Chatham College, Hood Col lege, Cedar Crest College and Immaculata College, Stack said. “Besides singing and rehearsals, we’re a social organization, too,” he said. In September, the club went to Stone Valley Recreation Area for a . weekend of rehearsals and social activities, Stack said. “We have socials with women’s choirs from Penn State and other colleges,” he said. “We also have a co-ed intermural volleyball team of members from the various choirs,” he said. Trinkley said the Glee Club, now 65 members strong, accepts new members all the time. “Membership is open to any stu dent who can sing in the tenor or bass range, and the auditions are not strenuous,” he said. “I believe anyone can sing with a little work,” Trinkley said, “and I feel it’s something that everyone should try.
