Candidate focuses
on political morality
By MIKE NETHERLAND
Collegian Staff Writer
Restoring morality to U.S. gov
ernment is the cornerstone of the
Lyndon H. Laßouche Jr. cam
paign in his third bid for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination,
campaign representatives said
yesterday.
Like the other Democratic can
didates, Laßouche's rhetoric cen
ters on ousting President Reagan
partly because of his involvement
with former Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger, said Warren
Hammerman, chairman of the
National Democratic Policy Com
mittee, a political acjion commit
tee that is endorsing the
candidate.
"Ronald Reagan pledged never
to let Henry Kissinger back into
government," Hammerman said
in a telephone interview yester
day. Reagan, he added, is also to
be condemned for ducking an op
portunity to denounce Colorado
Gov. nichard Lamm for his
statement that old people have "a
duty to die."
At a news conference outside the
State College Municipal Building,
a Laßouche representative de
scribed the candidate's policies of
aggressive agriculture and tech
nology-stimulating programs.
Pittsburgh school teacher Joe Bil
lington told reporters that such
programs would enable the world
to realize a greater standard of
living.
An example of such a program
would be a project connecting
bodies of water from the Great
Lakes to the Ohio River and the
Mississippi River to form a contin
uous ribbon of water from Canada
to Mexico. The waterway would be
used for irrigation in Mexico and
the Midwest United States as well
'as for transportation.
Laßouche is notorious for his
study and promotion of waterway
development in China and South
east Asia. In his half-hour tele
vision advertisements he

consistently links these projects to
food and commerce development
in that region.
Supporting nuclear fusion and
laser technology is also key to
bringing morality back to presi
dential policy, Billington said. The
nuclear fusion process, known as
the proton-proton reaction which
fuels the sun, forces heavy iso
topes of hydrogen to collide, cre
ating tremendous heat to make
steam. The isotopes, deuterium
and tritium are found in water.
This cheap and abundant power,
Billington said, will further human
development. Henry Kissinger, he
said, represents a group of tycoons
bent on dominating the world's
food and technology markets by
pursuing anti-industrial and anti
human development policies as a
means to that end.
The' Pennsylvania primary is
the first one Laßouche has en
tered, Hammerman said. La-
Rouche deliberately waited until
now, banking on the chance that
some candidates would drop out of
the race, Hammerman said.
Hammerman cited a popularity
poll conducted by Pittsburgh radio
station WKQV that put him strong
ly ahead of Gary Hart, Walter
Mondale and Jesse Jackson. A
major setback for the campaign,
however, was his exclusion from
the presidential debates in Pitts
burgh last Thursday by the
League of Women Voters. He was
denied by Pittsburgh Court of
Common Pleas Judge Silvestri
Silvestri a preliminary injunction
forcing the League to include him
in the debates. On the same day,
Hammerman said, the state Su
preme Court rejected his request
for a hearing on the matter.
The Federal Elections Commis
sion only recently permitted the
Laßouche campaign to collect its
matching campaign funds. By
law, any registered candidate that
raises $20,000 ($5,000 from four
states) is eligible, for matching
funds from the government.
USG Senate sets up fund for future, approves constitution

Jeff Goldsmith of Appalachian Youth Service
and Centre County Youth Service Bureau pre
sented the senate with a plaque in appreciation of
the more than $2,500 its members raised last fall
in a walkathon for those charities. The proceeds
benefited Nittany House, a group home for de
pendent and delinquent boys in State College and
the Big Brothers/Big Sisters Program of Centre
County.

Noise ordinance meeting
scheduled for Thursday
By TIM EYSTER
Collegian Staff Writer
A public meeting to discuss pro
posed revisions to the State College
Borough noise ordinance will be held
Thursday evening, a member of the
Organization for Town Independent
Students said last night.
Arlene Campoli, who represents
OTIS at regular State College Plan
ning Commission meetings, said the
special planning commission meeting
will be at 7:30 in the State College
Municipal Building.
Both Campoli and OTIS adviser
Charlene Harrison said written com
ments from borough residents on
proposed noise ordinance revisions
are welcome in advance of the meet
ing.
Harrison added that anyone who
wishes to make oral comments on
proposed revisions will be granted
five minutes during the meeting to
express his or her views.

IFC gets static on
noise ordinance from
planning commission
Many of the Interfraternity Coun
cil's suggestions for 'revisions of the
noise ordinance have been rejected
by the State College Planning Corn
mission,,the IFC president said last
night.
"(The Planning Commission) pret
ty much shot down all of our ideas,
but the only positiVe thing . . . is that
(the legal decibel level) will remain
at 55 and will not drop down to 50,"
Maury Billig said at the organiza
tion's meeting at Sigma Nu fraterni- .
ty, 3401 . Burrowes Road.
The commission's previous propo
sal was to keep the decibel level at 55
before 11 p.m. in the area where
many fraternities are located and
drbp it to 50 decibels after that time,
Billig said after the meeting.
The IFC proposal will go to the
State College Municipal Council after
the planning commission finishes re
viewing it, he said.
IFC also voted to arrange a pro
gram on how to prevent burglaries in
fraternity houses. Paul Blahusch,
IFC executive vice president, said
plans are being made for Dave Caster
of the State College Police Depart
ment to talk to fraternity presidents
on how to lock up certain valuable
items for the summer when the fra
ternities are closed or taking board
ers.
Caster frequently talks to State
College residents about measures to
prevent theft in their homes, Bla
husch said.
Billig also said drawings for dormi
tory releases will be held at 5:15
tonight in 202 HUB. Dormitory re
leases relieve those students inter
ested in joining and living in a
fraternity from their dorm contracts.
Each house that submits a request
will automatically receive one of the
65 dormitory releases and drawings
will be held on the remaining con
_ tracts.
In other business, Mike Guelker,
IFC secretary/treasurer, announced \
that Scott Williams of Phi Kappa
Sigma fraternity was chosen IFC
business manager for 1984-85.

wealth campus committee, said the
committee is working on organizing
the annual Branch Campus Day. At
this event, OTIS members will inform

campuses about the process of
searching for an . apartment in State

representatives inform Common
wealth campus students of the serv
ices OTIS offers. She added that the
committee will try to schedule the
event on the same day as the first fall
meeting of the Council of Branch
Campus Student Governments, which
will be determined at a later date.
The committee also will be working
