Associated , Press Writer
Walter F. Mondale promised yesterday
that the Three Mile Island nuclear plant
would remain closed if he is elected
president, while Gary Hart campaigned
among unemployed steelworkers and the
Rev. Jesse Jackson said he could not muzzle
supporters, even when they threaten
violence.
"I have no problem disassociating myself
from violence or threats of it," Jackson said
two days before Pennsylvania's Democratic
presidential primary.
But he said . attempts to impose remarks
by a supporter, Minister Louis Farrakhan of
, the National of Islam, into his campaign
were a bit unfair.
In a radio speech, Farrakhan had
threatened a black Washington Post
reporter who disclosed that Jackson had

program of Centre County will
receive almost $25,000 that Phi
Kappa'Psi fraternity raised
during its 16th annual Phi Psi 500,
the overall chairman said
yesterday.
Mike Smoyer said despite
problems with the cold weather
and occasionally rowdy crowds,
things went well during the 1.1
mile race through downtown State
College.
"Overall, things went pretty
well considering conditions,"
Smoyer said. "Clean-up went
really smooth. It was really easy
this year."
State College Police Chief
Elwood A. Williams Jr. said the
crowd was relatively well
behaved. However, there were a
few minor incidents of vandalism,
criminal mischief, disorderly
conduct and underage drinking.
The State College Police
Department reported that 20
citations were given out during the
event. The citations were mainly
for disorderly conduct.
The police also reported that one
individual was apprehended and
taken into police custody. The
individual was cited for disorderly
conduct, harassment and criminal
mischief.
Smoyer estimated that 10,000 to
15,000 people watched the Phi Psi
500, which was held in cooperation
with the Stroh's Brewery
Company. •

Delta Upsilon's Firgt Fraternity Fling held
yesterday afternoon at 229 Locust Lane, ended
prematurely when State College Police cited the
fraternity for disorderly conduct.
Cpl. Richard Garris said police first warned the
fraternity at 12:33 p.m. and asked that the noise be
decreased. Within the next two hours, Garris said, the
police received more than 25'complaints about the
noise and responded at 2:55 p.m. to issue the citation.
The citation carries with it a fine of up to $3OO and a
fraternity representative will have to appear before
District Justice Clifford H. Yorks within 10 days,
Garris said.

complaint, whether a party or at a

The event, sponsored by the Miller Brewing
Company and WQWK radio, was to have included three
local bands and was scheduled from noon until 5
yesterday. Because of the citation, however, only the
band Azgard was able to play in its entirety. Delta

Beverage representative Chris Zarus, who handles
Miller-sponsored events, estimated that Miller will lose
about $l,OOO because of the the event's premature
ending.

"I have no ability to muzzle a surrogate
who wants to make a contribution," he said
on NBC's "Meet the Press."
"That statement certainly was not a
campaign statement or a campaign
authorized statement."
Jackson campaigned in Philadelphia
yesterday while his Democratic
presidential rivals crisscrossed the state
looking for votes in the primary tomorrow,
when 172 delegates will' be at stake.
Going into the Pennsylvania contest,
Mondale leads Hart in delegates, 916.8 to
540. Jackson is a distant third with 141.2.
A Washington Post-ABC poll taken
Wednesday through Friday found Mondale
and Hart dead even in Pennsylvania, with 41
percent each. Jackson was a distant_third
with 12 percent. The poll, based on
interviews with 454 registered Democrats,
has a margin of error of 5 percentage points.
Mondale traveled yesterday to
Bruce Parkhill, University head
basketball coach.
Participants ran to six bars
along the route and drank either a
beer or soda at each stop.
Participating bars were: The

Garris said about 2,000 students were at the event
when the citation was issued.
"It was handled like any other complaint, whether a
party or at a fraternity house," Garris said. "The lawn
was packed, plus there were other people sitting across
the street."
The fraternity had secured an activities permit from
the State College borough to conduct the event, but the
permit does not include a noise variance. Carl said,
however, he was "really disappointed" about the
citation, and the way police handled the situation.
"We had everything organized and the crowd was so
passive. Students really make this town and they turn
around and do something like this," he said. Carl added
that, State College Mayor Arnold Addison was
contacted about the matter, but that he said he was
unable to help. Addison was unavailable for comment.
Undergraduate Student Government President Emil
Parvensky, who was present when police arrived, said
"We even asked if we could get a noise meter out here"
to determine if the music was exceeding the 55 decibel
limit for residential areas. The police refused,
according to Parvensky. "In other words, that option
wasn't available to us," he said.
Zarus also expressed his dissatisfaction with the
police action: "If they would have said 'You can have it
this loud,' that would have been fine. But they didn't."

which operated TMI at the time of the

In his prepared remarks, Mondale
recalled sitting in the White House as vice

He said it was a "desperate, scary moment,
and thank God it worked out without people
being subjected to a meltdown."
He charged that Hart has taken "about
three different positions" on whether the ,

PSU student charged
with theft of 2 exams
By MIKE KINNEY .
Collegian Staff Writer
A University student has been
arrested by University Police
Services and charged with theft of
trade secrets, theft by unlawful
taking or disposition and receiving
stolen property.
The charges involve the alleged
theft of two electrical engineering
exams from the University and
the subsequent sale of those .
exams, a police spokesman said.
David E. Schmidt (senior
nuclear engineering), 707 Stuart
Hall, was arrested April 5 as a
result of an investigation which is
continuing, University Police
officer Delmar Woodring said.
He also was charged with
possessing instruments of crime
(lock picks); possession, sale,
distribution, manufacture or
advertisement of intercepting
devices (wire tapping equipment).
In addition, he was charged with
unlawful possession of a controlled
substance (marijuana); and
possession of a controlled
substance with intent to
manufacture or deliver.
According to police, the items
were found during a search of
Schmidt's room at Stuart Hall.
"The charges were filed by the
University Police as per state
steelworkers that he would provide
government-guardnteed loans to modernize
aging plants and factories
"But every cent of those loans would have
to be put into modernizing equipment and
training people," he said.
As part of the plan, he added, workers
would have "guaranteed jobs" if they
participated with managers in negotiations
for these loans and conditioned their wage
increases on productivity increases.
Throughout the campaign, Mondale has
been highlighting Hart's votes against the
government-guaranteed loans for Chrysler
Corp..
Appearing on CBS-TV's "Face the
Nation," Hart said the Chrysler bailout was
"a partial success. A lot of people lost their
jobs under that reorganization."
He said the difference between his
proposals and those of Mondale was that,
"Walter Mondale did not have a policy to

said.
Schmidt, 21, whose hometown is
Acton, Mass., was arraigned
before District Magistrate Robert
May.
He is being held in lieu of $40,000
bond in Centre County Jail,
Bellefonte. .
The officer handling the
investigation, Ronald Shreffler,
was in Florida on police business
over the weekend and will not be
available for comment until the
beginning of the week, Woodring
said.
James Bartoo, acting executive
vice president and University
provost, issued the following
official University statement
Friday afternoon:
"We have reason to believe
some examinations may have
been compromised. We are taking
steps to tighten security and to
replace those exams not yet
administered that may have been
compromised.
"The University's Council of
Deans will be'advised of the
situation (today). Our office of
Conduct Standards is also looking
into the matter because the
allegations involve student
violations of the University's code
of conduct regarding academic
integrity."

reorganize the entire auto industry and I
do."
Hart charged that Mondale, as vice
president, already had four years to try to
get "the economy of Pennsylvania and this
country back on its feet and it didn't work."
He pledged to reduce unemployment by
implementing a policy to rebuild "this
country's basic facilities through the
private sector." Contracts would require
companies to hire a fixed percentage of the
unemployed, he said.
After big losses in the New York primary
and Wisconsin caucuses last week, Hart
needs a victory in Pennsylvania to regain
the momentum he had after a string of
victories in New England.
The Colorado senator emerged as the
victor from Wisconsin's non-binding
presidential• primary Tuesday, but no
delegates were at stake. At the caucuses,
Mondale oucpolled him by better than 2-to-1
and won 42 delegates to 23 for Hart.
