Summer enrollment:
By KRISTINE SORCHILLA
Collegian Staff Writer
Pollock quad appears emptier than previous
summers and some area businesses are report
ing a decline in student business, but the Univer
sity will not say whether there is a drop in
student enrollment for the 1984 Summer Session.
Helen Warren, assistant director of the Sum
mer Session, said statistics for the Summer
Session enrollment, which include the number of
full-time and part-time students and the number
of dormitory residents, will not be available until
Aug. 15.
According to the Room Assignments Office,
10,877 full-time and part-time students attended
the Summer Session last year. Residents in the
dormitories included 715 undergraduate students
and 110 graduate students.
The Daily Collegian has tried repeatedly to
obtain information on the number of students
enrolled in the Summer Session from the Office
of the Registrar and Public Information. The
Collegian has been told each time that informa
tion will be available at a date later than was
previously indicated.
Although the statistics are not yet available,
there is no indication that enrollment in the 1984
Summer Session has dropped from previous
Summer Sessions, Warren said.
The University offered more than 450 courses
this summer, the largest number of courses it
has•ever offered during a summer session, she
said. This does not include the number of thesis,
dissertation or individual study courses offered
to graduate students, Warren added.
John J. Romano, associate dean of undergrad
uates in the college of Liberal Arts, said students
who went through registration at the start of the
Summer Session told him they thought fewer
people registered than in previous years.
"Most people felt there were less students at
registration. The question is how much less
enrolled than had (during previous Summer
Sessions)?" he said.
However, the low number of students who went
through registration could also mean that more
students than usual received complete pink slips
and did not need to go through registration, he
added.
"The impression one receives is there were
fewer students going through registration, but
whether there are fewer students enrolled here,
we don't know," Romano said. "I don't think

University won't release numbers
there are more students here (than in previous
summer sessions)."
Part of the problem with the student enroll
ment in the University may be the confusion in
the switch to computerized registration, drop
/add and record-keeping. Also, it is difficult to
keep up with registration figures because of the
many different term lengths during the Summer
Session, he said.
In the College of Human Development, statis
tics were not available on the number of students
enrolled in Human Development courses. How
ever, the number of credit hours earned by
students is lower than during previous summers,
J. Gregory Carroll, associate dean of Human
Development, said.
"Over the past few years, the number of credit
hours earned by students in the college of Human
Development (during the Summer Session) was
between 5,000 and 6,000 hours. This year it's
below 5,000," Carroll said.
Part of the reason for the decline is because the

college eliminated courses in which student
enrollment was low or if the class was not large
enough to justify the course, Carroll said.
Some area businesses that commonly serve
students have also noticed a decline in sales or
deliveries.
Ray Connolly, textbook manager for the Stu
dent Book Store, 330 E. College Ave., said either
the number of students is lower than last sum
mer or students were not buying books.
"In some areas we didn't sell anything such
as in different courses we didn't sell any books.
We never really were busy," Connolly said.
Deliveries from the Penn State Sub Shop, 225
E. Beaver Ave, were also slightly lower than last
year, Joe Plageman, a delivery person from the
shop, said.
Plagman, who has been a delivery person for
about 1 1 / 2 years, . said business was relatively
good in the beginning of the Summer Session, but
it lessened significantly as the summer pro
gressed.

Lotteries create 'instant wealth'
By SCOTT KRAFT
Associated Press Writer
A retired carpenter last week won
New York state's Lotto jackpot of $2O
million, the world's largest individual
lottery prize. The previous largest
single winner had been Marcia San
ford, a secretary in Westfield, Mass.,
who won the $15.6 million Massachu
setts Megabucks Lottery earlier this
month. It was only the second lottery
ticket she had ever purchased.
But the biggest winners don't wait
in any lines. New York state, for
example, collected $ll million_from
the recent record jackpot. That will
go for educational programs.
Seventeen states and the District of
Columbia run lotteries. Their share of
total ticket sales 'last year was $2.1
billion; it paid for such things as
parks in Colorado, homes for the
elderly in New Jersey and schools in
Washington state.
Americans spent more than $5 bil
lion for lottery tickets last year. The
Public Gaming Research Institute, a
research organization for govern
ment and the trade, estimated Ameri
cans would spend $6.7 billion on
lotteries this year, or
. $3O for every
person in the country. That's more
than the gross revenue from casinos
in Nevada and New Jersey combined.

An array of games is offered, from
instant scratch-off lottery tickets to
three- and four-digit daily numbers
games to Lotto, where players select
six of 40 or 44 numbers and the
winning numbers are drawn weekly.
The weekly pots, which are carried
over if no, one wins, have grown
steadily. New York recently expand
ed its Lotto game to . twice a week and
Ohio is considering such a move.
The steady growth of lottery reve
nue, 20 percent to 40 percent annually
over the past four years, has made
them a more dependable source of
revenue than state income taxes or
sales taxes.
Eyeing that extra revenue, at least
nine states are considering joining
the fold. A lottery proposal is on the
ballot this fall in Missouri, where
public opinion polls have indicated
solid support.
Among other states considering
lotteries are West Virginia and Cali
fornia.
The lottery debate in many states
has focused on one question: Who
Plays?
Supporters say their research
shows most players are from the
middle class and would be paying
taxes anyway. The lottery is a "vol
untary tax" that makes paying taxes
fun, they say.
Opponents argue that many lottery
ticket buyers are poor people. Lotte
ries "dangle a carrot of hope in front
of the poor and disadvantaged" who
cannot afford to wager, said Allen
Quist, a state representative in Min
nesota, where the Legislature this
year defeated a proposed constitu
tional amendment for a lottery. .
money to wager.
"The reason we do so well is that,
for many of our customers, their
ability to earn income is limited,"
Cohen said.
"A guy says, 'Here's my chance to
put down a dollar and win big.' They
figure you don't have to be college
educated or white to win because it's
the color of your money that counts."
Lottery millionaires, say the adver
tisements for New York's Lotto
game, "are ordinary people who be
came extraordinary people" by win
ning the lottery. Indeed, someone
always wins. But the odds are long. -A
player is three and a half times more
likely to be struck by lightning than
win the New York lottery.
As states add new games and ad
vertise more heavily, their lotteries
are luring more players from the
middle and upper-middle classes,
according to Duane Burke, of the
Public Gaming Research Institute.
"It's the broad middle class that
government depends on for taxes,"
he said. "And when you give them a
choice of voluntarily contributing
some money and perhaps winning
something at the same time, or giving
it in taxes, they're going to choose the
voluntary method every time."
A/survey of lottery ticket buyers in
NO Jersey last year found that most
had household incomes of $15,000 to
$40,000 a year. But in the $15,000-$20,-
000 income group, 92 percent had
bought lottery tickets.
Lotteries have a special place in
Americana. The Continental Con
gress used them to raise money for
the armies in the Revolutionary War,
and they contributed importantly to
The Daily Collegian Tuesday, July 31, 1984-3
village coffers. Franklin, Tenn., for
example, bought a town clock with
lottery proceeds in 1825.
In the Civil War years, the Louisia
na Lottery, privately run and depen
dent on nationwide sales, grew
rapidly. But corruption in that game
prompted Congress to ban interstate
lotteries in 1895.
New Hampshire started the first
modern-day state lottery 20 years
ago, but the idea caught on slowly.
Only three states had lotteries a de
cade later. Until recently they were
clustered primarily in the Northeast.
The growing acceptance of lotteries
"has been tied very closely to the
need for revenues by the states,"
Burke said.
"In the past five years, Western
and Midwestern states have fallen on
the same economic hard times that
the Eastern states have suffered for
years. So now Southwestern and Mid
western states are taking up the state
lottery as a way of generating reve
nues."
The newest lotteries are in Wash
ington state, which sold $295 million
in tickets last year; Colorado, $2OB
million, and Arizona, $75 million. The
District of Columbia, another new
comer, sold $54 million in tickets last
year.
"Everybody wants to latch onto the
fantasy that I might win some money
or become an instant millionaire,"
said Charles Marquez, a legislator in
New Mexico.
Well, not everyone. Bills that Mar
quez introduced to set up a lottery in
New Mexico failed last year and this
year.
In lowa, where polls have shown
that 62 percent of the population
favors a lottery, Gov. Terry Branstad
has twice vetoed it. He said in a
television interview that a lottery
would "put the state in the business of
actively promoting and encouraging
gambling to profit from people's hope
for instant wealth."
"We in lowa have always prided
ourselves on honest, straight-forward
government and I believe that hood
winking the people and trying to gain
income through a state-run lottery is
not good public policy," Branstad
said.
