I have friends who are constantly griping about paying toll on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. "Why should we shell out our hard earned money when similiar interstate highway systems are free?," they whine. They moan that the toll road, opened in 1940, hasn't kept pace with society. I say we should be thankful for the turnpike. Where else can you play tag with semi-tractor-trailer trucks while careening up and down mountains and maneu vering through hairpin turns? Where else can you motor between rusting guardrails and soft shoulders while keeping an eye out for falling rocks? We shouldn't expect to be thrilled like this for free. At about 3 cents a mile the turnpike is a bargain for our entertainment dollar. Imagine what you'd pay at an amusement park for fun like this. A vehicle with at least two wheels, a driver's license, a little cash and a strong stomach are all that's needed for excitement on the four-lane thrillway. Seat belts and tranquilizers are optional. . I had the good fortune to travel the 110-mile•stretch of the turnpike between Pittsburgh and Breezewood last week en route to a brief vacation in the south. Contrary to an ugly rumor being spread throughout the county, I did not go to Minnesota for a vice presidential inter view with Walter Mondale. Forget the fact that I visited with friends and, had I heard this while I was helping several kids and by the the criticisms are deserved despite the high awards your time I had a chance to look over the reporter was gone. paper traditionally receives. Thus in thirty seconds or so just a few minutes after I trust this is the exception and that steps will be taken we had opened up the reporter apparently got all the to prevent such occurences from happening in the future information necessary to complete an article that was written before the event took place. Kenneth Paul Martin, President I read the Collegian and often try to defend some of the Penn State Stamp Club criticisms other students have for your paper. Circum- (not Penn State Stamp Collecting Club) stances such as this, however, make me wonder whether July 13 collegian production forum time to relax and get away from it all. The high point of my holiday was the hours I spent on the turnpike. I discovered another reason for the state Bureau of Travel Development to be proud. The turnpike was much more enjoyable than Interstate 95 in Virginia. True, the vehicles traveled just as fast on 1-95, but the major north-south artery connecting' Maine and Flor ida is too flat and well-designed to compete with our toll road. Arid besides, 1-95 is free. I guess you get what you pay for. But my favorite feature• of the turnpike is the fact that it violates the Law of Life's Highway. The law, which says, "If everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane," doesn't apply to the turnpike, There, no matter what lane you're in, you're never sure what's coming your way. I did notice a few disturbing developments on the toll roads which I hope do not become a trend. The potholes I enjoyed dodging on a trip last year had been patched. Uneven and cracked pavement had been repaired. And no longer will I be able to pay $1 for a slice of cheese on white bread from a turnpike vending machine. The installation of fast-food franchises at some rest areas guarantees us the same wonderous cuisine we're used to at home. If the Turnpike Commission doesn't watchout, it's going to blow it. A source in Harrisburg informs me the commission will take steps in 1984 to attract more customers. The state will flood the roadway between exits eight and nine and create the Pennsylvania Pikeslide, sources said. No additional equipment will be needed to test the water. I hope the plan is carried through. It will give the taxpayers another reason to say we've got a friend in Pennsylvania. sports olitical disputes abound as Olympics approach By D. BYRON YAKE AP Sports Editor LOS ANGELES The arrival of Nadia Co maneci at the Los Angeles Olympics evoked pleasant memories of another time, but she had to share center stage yesterday with some noisy political squabbles. There has been speculation that Comaneci, the Romanian gymnast who startled the world with her perfection at the Montreal Olympics in 1976, might be the torchbearer for the Games' opening ceremonies tomorrow. Comaneci insisted, however, that she hasn't been asked and Peter Ueberroth, head of the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee seem ingly dashed the possibility that she will be. . That possibility holds both nostalgic and politi cal interest because Romania is the only Eastern bloc country attending the Games. The other Eastern bloc countries lined up behind the Soviet Union's boycott. Other political disputes at the Olympics: U.S. boxing officials tried to prevent four officials of boycotting nations from judging or refereeing fights involving American boxers. The effort failed. American basketball officials cried foul over an Olympic schedule that calls for the U.S. women to play two early morning games within 24 hours. Three Libyans who applied for journalistic credentials to cover their country's six-man team were denied entry to the Games and to the United States. Jana Angelakis —Four U.S. athletes were sued for $3.5 million by Puma USA Inc. for changing contracts to Adidas. Athletes were evacuated from a dormitory at one Olympic village while police checked out a suspicious package. It turned out to be two rolls of toilet paper wrapped in a smock. Two Soviet ships were denied entry into Los Angeles and Long Beach ports for security rea sons, officials said. There was also a' possibility of weather prob lems for the opening ceremonies tomorrow. Forecasters said rain was a near impossibility, but they weren't saying that about smog. There were some developments on the playing fields. The U.S. women's basketball team lost 107-65 last night to a collection of male players from the NBA Southern California Summer League. Still its coach, Pat Head Summitt, was optimistic. "I think this is the best women's basketball team we've ever had," she said. There were complaints about the team's Olym pic schedule, however, which includet two early morning games within 24 hours. The American women meet Yugoslavia in its opener Monday and Australia on Tuesday. William L. Wall, executive director of the Amateur Basketball Association, was angry. "They don't think about the athletes," Wall said. "The game is not sport, it's money and television." The U.S. men's basketball team finished its pre-Olympic exhibition games with an unble mished 9-0 record, the latest a 91-86 victory 7 PSU athletes to compete at Games The Penn State presence at the 23rd Olympiad has increased by two with the addition of a former Nittany Lion shooter and a former University track star. Glenn Dubis, who competed on Penn State's rifle team from 1978 to 1981, will participate for the U.S. squad in air rifle and English match at the Summer Games. Dubis, from Bethel Park, was an All-American in 1979. As a senior, he was part of the last Penn State rifle team, which finished ninth nationally. Kraut Hjeltnes competed on Penn State's track team in 1975 and 1976 and now throws the discus for Nor way. Hjeltnes finished , seventh in that same event at the Montreal Olympics of 1976. He still holds the Penn State school record for shot put and discus. One former Penn State athlete, however, has been forced out of the Games due to injury. Dan Canter, who had been named to the 17-man U.S. Olympic soccer team earlier this month, tore ligaments in his foot during practice. Canter from North Plainfield, N.J. plays professionally for the New York Cosmos of the North American Soccer League. A ruling last month by the Football Interna tional Federation Association, soc cer's governing body, opened the door to Olympic participation for any players whose World Cup squad did not advance to World Cup tour nament qualifying rounds. Wednesday night in San Diego against the Na tional Basketball Association All-Stars. Three Libyans, hoping to cover Libya's six man sports delegation at the Games, were denied entry into the United States, according to Ueber roth. He said they will not be permitted either to enter the United States or to cover the Games. Ueberroth declined to say why the U.S. State Department refused to admit the Libyans. Puma USA, Inc. filed suit in Superior Court in Los Angeles against four members of the U.S. team, demanding $3.5 million in damages on the claim they agreed to wear Puma footwear but switched to Adidas. The civil suit names Kim Gallagher, Jodi Anderson, Pam Spencer and Pamela Page, plus coach Charles Debus and Three Stripe Prbmotions. Rieber Hall at the UCLA Olympic village was evacuated at about 1:15 p.m. when a package was discovered in a first-floor rpstroom during a routine check by police. They called a bomb squad and the hall, which houses athletes from Israel, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Chile, was evacuated for 40 minutes. Two Soviet vessels, meanwhile, were not per mitted into Los Angeles or Long Beach ports until after the opening of the Games. They will be kept at sea for four days, according' to Coast Guard spokesan Joe Amato. The captains of the Soviet freighters Novoloksk and Pula had re quested permission to enter the ports on Wednes day. The Americans are considered overwhelming favorites in the Olympics, with Canada, Britain, West Germany and Jamaica. ' Other Penn Staters in the Olym pics include: Terry Bartlett, who will participate for Great Britain's gymnastics team; Jana Angelakis, who will compete for the U.S. fenc ing team; and Chris Larson-Mason, Charlene Morett and Brenda Stauf fer, who will play for the U.S. field hockey team. Angelakis, Larson- U.S. Olympic boxing officials lose decision By TIM DAHLBERG AP Sports Writer LOS ANGELES U.S. Olympic officials failed yesterday in an attempt to prevent officials from four boycotting nations from judging or refereeing fights in volving American boxers. The United States dropped 'the request after the International Amateur Boxing Association's ex ecutive committee indicated it would not alter its existing rules to exclude the three referee-judges and one jury member, said Col. Don Hull, president of the associa tion. "We made the decision to follow the normal procedures," Hull said. Loring Baker, head of the USA Amateur Boxing Federation, said the effort to remove the officials came about because of concerns over reaction to their decisions in close bouts. "We based it on the fact that if it Terry Bartlett Mason and More'tt were all mem bers of the 1980 Olympic squad. Gymnastics, field hockey and shooting events all begin this Sun day, the first day of competition. Fencing action starts Wednesday, Aug. 1. Bartlett is a three-event All- American for Penn State, having The Daily Collegian Friday, July 27, 1984 was a close decision, it would put the referee or judge in a no-win situation," Baker said. "Either way he would rule would be ques tioned." The three referee-judges are from Poland, Bulgaria and Cuba. The jury member is from the Soviet Union. Under the judging rules used during the Olympics, the five member jury is called into action if the five ringside judges split. 3-2 on a decision. The jury must vote at least 4-1 to overturn a decision. Baker said the United States request was not made because of any doubts of the competency of the officials, but because of the way their decisions might be inter preted due to the boycott. Hull said the committee decided not to change the rules partly because it felt the possibility'of the referee-judges being used in fights involving the 12 American boxers was remote.
