2—The Daily Collegian Thursday, Feb. 9, 1984 Earthly woes: Prof says more man/environment relationship studies neede. By BEVERLY M. PAYTON Collegian Staff Writer One area of science that deserves More consideration is the study of Man's relationship to his environ ment, the dean of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences told journalism graduate students Tuesday. "There are going to be horror sto ries in the news, monthly," Charles L. Hosler Jr. predicted, unless more serious attention is focused on the area ,of global geo-chemistry. Hosier said this entails such famil iar environmental concerns as the ozone layer, the "greenhouse effect," groundwater contamination, and Red Tide. PSU desegregation may get more funds By GAIL JOHNSON Collegian Staff Writer Harold Levy, the University's acting affirmative action officer, yesterday said he hopes a new committee to monitor the state's desegregation plan in higher education will recommend an in crease in funds for the University's desegregation programs. Gov. Dick Thornburgh recently appointed the seven-member advisory panel to monitor the Com monwealth of Pennsylvania . Plan for Equal Oppor tunity in the State-Supported Institutions of Higher Education. He said the panel itself is part of the plan and was included "to help insure that a high quality college education is available to all Pennsylvanians." "Basically, I think it's a good idea in terms of monitoring progress of state's desgregation plan," Levy said. "And it's a good idea to oversee the CC3LECO VISION" . . . . New Everyday - Low Price For example, Hosler said every year there is a 2 percent increase of methane in the atmosphere. Meth ane, a component of natural gas, results from the decomposition of organic matter in marshes and mines or from the carbonization of coal. Methane reacts photochemically with oxygen to produce ozone, he said. The chief contributers to the ozone content of the atmosphere include cows, termites and the anaerobic bacteria involved in rice culture, Hosler said. Another environmental concern,. Hosier said, is the destruction of tropical rain forests, which increases the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere. ...

He added that Penn State needs more money to carry out the programs outlined in the desegrega tion plan, and that he hopes the committee will go back to the governor with a recommendation to increase funds for the University. One of the committee's functions, according to a prepared statement from the governor's press office, will be to review proposals designed to assist all 32 institutions in desegregation efforts and expenditures. Also, the committee will review all reports, including annual progress reports, on desegrega tion plans before they are submitted to the U.S. Department of Education Office of Civil Rights, the statement said. A third committee function will be to provide guidance on such issues as cooperative agreements between institutions.

However, Hosier said sometimes there is undeserved public ' outcry over environmental issues that are riot really problems. As an example he cited public opposition to the incin eration of toxic substances at sea. The by-product carbon dioxide, water and hydrochloric acid is relatively harmless compared to the alternatives of dumping the raw toxic chemicals into the sea or burying them in landfills and risking the pos sibility of groundwater contami nation, he said. While hydrochloric acid is a toxin, Hosler said the ocean is alkaline and neutralizes the acid. Discussing the interdependence of science and politics, Hosier said that in his capacity as dean, he had to be a No need to wait for a sale. Ever. political advocate for the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences which receives two-thirds of its support from government and industry. "You think of the scientist working quietly in his lab, hoping someone will appreciate the wonderful things he's doing, but it doesn't work out that way," he said. The college raises about $l3 million a year. Hosier said he must insure that research programs are support ed at the congressional level. "There must be thousands of pro fessors lobbying in Washington every day," he said. "The ivory tower is very heavily involved in the estab lishment." Supported Institutions of Higher Education was designed by the Thornburgh administration to increase opportunities for higher education for minorities in the state, concentrating specifically on improving the environment at Cheyney Univer sity and Lincoln University. The committee will meet periodically during the plan's five-year implementation period that began this month. ' Committee members include: Michael A. Davis of Havertown, a member of the law firm of Blank, Rome, Comisky and McCauley, of Philadelphia and former general counsel of the state Department of Education; William H. Duncan of Lancaster, presi dent emeritus of Millersville University of Pennsyl vania; David E. Epperson of Pittsburgh, dean of the University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work; Elizabeth J.

COG last month authorized Ste phen D. Mastrofski, a University assistant, professor of administra tion of justice, to administer the $4,300 study. The study will deter mine the feasibility of a central ized police force in the Centre Region. The ad hoc technical committee, formed at the public services meeting on Feb. 1, will advise Mastrofski and the public services committee on the technical details of the study. These details include the devel opment of plans and methods for conducting the study, presented from a professional viewpoint, Mastrofski said. "The members of the technical committee represent every juris diction in the Centre Region, and have the administrative knowl edge and background to make the planning stages in the police study realistic and meaningful," he said. "It is important that the admin istrators of the jurisdictions which would be .affected by a change in police services take part in the *Offer expires March 31, 1984 planning stages because they would have to implement any change if one should occur." Mastrofski said he will meet with members of the technical committee this week to obtain more information about the indi vidual jurisdictions he will be studying. Mastrofski has prepared two background reports in an attempt to develop the criteria and strate gies on which the study will be based, he said. "The criteria focus on the ques tions of 'what does police perfor mance mean?' and 'what do you expect the centralization study to produce,' " Mastrofski said. Elliot Abrams, COG public serv ices committee chairman, said yesterday the committee is still in the process of outlining the proce dures for structuring the police study. COG is approaching the study with no inclination to favor or disfavor a centralized police force, he said. The public services com-. mittee will again discuss proce dures for the study at its meeting March 7. Mastrofski said the term "re gional police force" should not be applied to the study because the primary emphasis of his research will be to see what police services are most effective in Centre Coun ty and whether changes are desir able. start and reset buttons.

Michael Day yesterday said a total of $50,156.82 will be paid to the ten ants, "As soon as I can possibly get the checks signed and the envelopes • stuffed and stamped." Claims were made in excess of $65,- 000, Day said. The amount to be paid to former tenants is less than the amount claimed because some ten : ants who occupied the apartments before the bankruptcy filed for : claims and could not receive any , payments. He said these occupants • should have filed a claim with the district magistrate before the bank : ruptcy was filed. Once the additional claims were taken off and adjustments made for • those who claimed more than their : share of the deposits, the $50,000 figure was determined. • Although a total of $101,820 in secu rity deposits was owed to people when the incident occurred, Day said not all tenants filed claims for their share the Tarriagr • 109 S.

In general, typing is what you do on your old Smith-Corona portable or your department's IBM Correcting Selectric. Typesetting, these days, - is done on computerized systems that store the copy you type and then generate characters like those in books, magazines and yes, newspapefs.

More than $13,000 had to be sub tracted from the $101,820 originally lost because of unpaid rent and dam agds, Harrison said. Also, Harrison said the tenants could have filed for double damages, but this action did not seem feasible. "Tenants could have filed for dou ble damages, but it appeared as if that was not a worthwhile expendi ture 'of time or money," Harrison / said. The, problem with Laurel Glen se curity deposits began in 1976 when former, owner Stanley Melnick filed for bankruptcy. Melnick had contributed $40,000 to help recover the amount due, Day said. No additional funds were avail able because of the extensive liens on Melnick's assets by his creditors. S NOT on ALE.. RACTICALL collegian production Federal bankruptcy laws allowed Melnick to continue operating the , complex until the end of 1980. Melnick had deposited $300,000 in a secured escrow account to prove to the court he was not spending all the rent money he was collecting. Melnick also should have had an additional escrow account for the security deposits but he did not. When filing for bankruptcy, Mel nick told bankruptcy judge Thomas Wood that $40,000 was enough money to refund the security deposits. of lettering and one size of char acter.

MARTIN Collegian Staff Writer With the help of General Electric Co., four experiments developed by University undergraduates will enter space on June 4 aboard STS-41D, the maiden voyage of the space shuttle Discovery The University's involvement in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Get Away Special (GAS) program began in December, 1981, when the GE Space Division in Valley Forge donated the launch services of a 2.5 cubic foot canister with a 100-pound payload capacity to the University. GE had purchased the launch services from NASA for $5,- 000, Mike Thames, associate payload manager, said. .~,arq;e;;w~;; In addition to the launch services, GE also donated the use of its satel lite testing facilities to help ensure the success of the experiments and to make sure the canister containing the experiments meets NASA shuttle payload standards, according to a University prepared statement. The first experiment, designed and built by Mark Kedzierski, (graduate mechanical engineering) will show the amount of heat transferred by convection, Thames said. Because convection is dependent on gravity, it will not occur in space.
