University clerical workers are urged to speak . up
By WILLIAM SCOTT
Collegian Staff Writer
The associate director of 9 to 5, the Nation
al Association of Working Women, yester
day urged University clerical employees to
"speak up and serve as an example for
other women" in their struggle to increase
Wages and improve working conditions.
Ellen Cassedy, addressing an audience of
about 100 persons at the meeting of Nittany 9
to 5, the local chapter of the organization,
said office workers' fundamental right is
"the right to change our working conditions
until we receive the satisfaction that we all
deserve."
Cassedy helped to organize the first local

he said.
Alumni from the College of Agricul
ture donated more than $1 million for
the construction of the arena, located
across from Beaver Stadium on Fox
Hollow Road.
Wright said students chose a specif
ic animal species five weeks ago and
participated in a drawing for the
animal they have trained and will

Dear Daily Collegian,
group of office workers in Boston in 1972
while she worked as a secretary at Harvard
University and co-authored "9 to 5," pub
lished last year to serve as a guide for
problems confronting women workers.
"We're beginning to know what works.
You may be able to get a raise on your
own," she said, "but you won't be able to
change the evaluation system" and other
office working conditions.
"There's a limit to what you can do on
your own," she added. " We're going to have
to speak up for ourselves as well as other
women. That squeaky wheel will continue to
squeak until the problem is solved."
The local chapter, formed Oct. 27 by five
clerical workers, began a petitioning drive
March 16 aimed at achieving parity in
wages and improving working conditions
for the University's clerical workers.
According to Nittany 9 to 5 President Katie
Gohn, clerical workers now receive 22 per
cent less pay than technical workers at the
same level. In 1974, a technical service
employee at the entry position level earned
only 2 percent more than clericals.
The petition, currently circulating on
campus, specifically calls for the establish
ment of a clerical advisory'committee com
prising members of Nittany 9 to 5 and
University officials. The formation of the
advisory committee is designed to facilitate
clerical workers' input into the University's
and fitting, Harold Harpster, club
adviser, said. Showmanship is judged
by a student's composure with the
animal and fitting is judged by how
well the animal is groomed, he said.
Heather Schofield, promotions
chairwoman, said students who win
the fitting and showmanship competi
tions in their species continue com
peting against the showmen in other
species. Eventually, the champion
showman of Ole four species is cho
sen, she said.

She said all of the contestants left a
$lO deposit for grooming equipment.
Harpster said the show is a tremen
dous opportunity for students to get
some hands-on experience working
with animals.
"We have approximately 90 stu
dents showing," Wright said. "They
are not necessarily all animal pro
ductions majors; some students are
liberal arts and biology majors."
Schofield said the show "is highly

However, shortly after the petition began
circulating, Ray T. Fortunato, assistant
vice president for personnel, issued a mem
orandum saying the Uniiiersity would not
take part in the advisory committee's for
mation because it would violate Pennsylva
nia labor.laws.
Because the organization is considered a
union, the memo said, any activity between
it and the University . must be condueted
according to law.
In reference to the memo, Cassedy yester
day acknowledged that the labor laws 'make
little distinction between employee organi
zations and labor unions.

ment.
"Your talent fitting and showing is
tested," Schofield said. "I am enter
ing for the second year, but this is my
first experience working with a heif
er."
After the showing, the club is spon
soring a banquet at 6:30 p.m. in the
HUB Ballroom for presentation of
club and contestant awards, Harpster
said. The awards were donated by
alumni and ag businesses.

She added, however, "It is totally and
utterly illegal to retaliate against someone
for trying to improve office working condi
tions" and that the right to organize is
broadly defined.
Cassedy said Nittany 9 to 5 was "not a
union in itself," but that thenational organi
zation had consolidated a few years ago with
the Service Employees International Union,
which now serves about 5,000 members.
During her speech, she congratulated
members of Nittany 9 to 5, saying Universi

from grumbling in the ladies room among

Schofield said 20 to 30 awards will

as a county agent for the state and for
his recruitment of students to the

Grads to pay $5 a night
to get dorm after finals
By KIM BOWER
Collegian Staff Writer
Graduate students living in resi
dence halls and remaining at the
University after the end of the final
exam period must pay $5 a night,
Donald Arndt, director of housing
services, said.
These students' contracts expire
May 12, the end of the final exam
period, as do the undergraduate con
tracts, and the students must leave
unless they pay the fee, Arndt said.
Accommodations have been made
for graduate students who are re
quired to stay later for academic
reasons or flight schedules to go
home, Arndt added.
Students must obtain written verifi
cation from their academic depart
ments to confirm that their presence
is required after May 12 and submit
them to Lynn Dußois, associate man
ager for graduate student housing, he
said.
Because of a reporter's error, the Sexual Health Awareness arid
Resource Program was incorrectly identified in Wednesday's Daily
Collegian as a counseling service. The program provides information and
referrals, but not counseling. Patricia Koch, whose research contributed
to the establishment of the program, was also misidentified; she is an
assistant professor of nursing at the University.
Becausd of a source error, the Centre Hall Head Start Program was
incorrectly identified in yesterday's Daily Collegian. The program is for
children who are handicapped or come from low income families.
Members of Chi Omega sorority will fill the children's Easter baskets
with fruit, sugarless gum and granola bars rather than candy because
candy is not nutritionally sound, not because of the reasons listed
yesterday.

Dußois said students must submit
the verification letter by Friday, May
11. She said if students wait until the
last minute, they may not be assigned
to the room they presently occupy.
Arndt said McKee Hall is closing
for the summer for maintenance
work and all graduate students will
be housed in Atherton Hall for Sum
mer Session.
Dußois said when she receives the
letters of verification, she notifies the
Assignment Office not to assign a
student from McKee Hall to that
student's room in Atherton.
Arndt noted that if the students
were permitted to stay the extra
week without charge, all University
students would have to pay more to
accommodate them. The percentage
of students who have to stay after
final exams is small, he said.
"As it appears now we'll be able to
take care of all those who need to
stay," Arndt said.
