2—The Daily Collegian Wednesday, Sept. 12, 1984 Wachob urges 'bold solutions' for arms race By ANITA HUSLIN Collegian Staff Writer State Rep. William Wachob, D-Elk and Clearfield, last night called for "bold and innovative solutions, and courage and foresight from govern ment leaders" to help solve the na tion's military and economic problems. Wachob, a candidate for U.S. Con gressional representative for the 23rd legislative district, identified himself as a strong proponent of a quick military freeze and stressed the need to trim a $3O million excess in the nation's defense budget. He said, speaking to the State Col lege Interfaith Peace Committee, that the defense department must encourage competitive bidding for military spending because 80 percent of all national defense spending is currently done on a non-competitive basis. Savings from weapon spending cutbacks should be used for job devel opment programs, human services and revitalization of industries, he stated. Noting a "totally unacceptable un employment rate in the (state's) 23rd district of 14 percent," as well as high unemployment in the nation's North east, Wachob stressed the need for state and national economic recovery assistance. "I propose a National Development Corporation to provide loans for in dustries and businesses to retool and revitalize old industries, develop new and competitive technologies and Spend a Day in NYC Attend the Law School Recruitment Forum Held at the World Trade Center Over 100 ABA-Approved Law Schools Will Attend Cost of Trip $20.00 - Admission to Forum Free Departure: Friday ; Sept. 21, 1984 at 6 a.m. in front of the HUB Return: Approximately 11 p.m. same day Make checks payable to Pi Sigma Alpha.

William Wachob create long-term job opportunities," he said in a prepared statement re leased before the conference. Wachob also said he supports fair trade with foreign markets and added that American industries, with pro tective trade policies, should be able to match foreign competititor's prices dollar for dollar. In an effort to decrease the national debt, Wachob said he supports mak ing the state tax system simpler and fairer. "In the past, Fortune 500 compa nies have had to pay less taxes be cause of credits and loopholes in the tax system," he said. "I believe taxes should be distributed more equally across income levels and the wealthy should pay their share." Wachob stated that funding lost through educational budget cuts in 1982 should be reinstituted "so middle class citizens will have the ability to send their children to school." Black Caucus to pro mote buddy system Bringing more black entertainment to the Uni versity and promoting participation in the buddy system are among the Black Caucus' goals this year, the president of the organization said last night. Gina Louissaint said the buddy system is a project in which an incoming black student is teamed with a faculty or staff "buddy." At the year's first meeting of the Black Caucus, Louissaint outlined the goals of the caucus for 1984- 85, saying that she hoped to make the caucus a "more efficient, more active group." "We'd like to encourage faculty to play a more Grad students By ROBERT P. KING Collegian Staff Writer "We're here to expand our hori zons," the president of the Graduate Student Association told 120 delegates to the first monthly GSA Assembly meeting. "As graduate students we've been immersed in our academic endeav ors," Jeff Dooling said. "Tonight we're asking you to look outside your field of study and look at the things you can do as grads." Dooling said GSA is not only a way for graduate students to meet each other, but an opportunity for them to have a voice in decisions that are made at the University. Dooling and the other GSA officers used the assembly meeting to intro duce themselves to the delegates and to take care of some opening busi ness, such as the confirmation of appointments to the various associa tion divisions and committees. Among the matters considered:, • • Dooling said GSA registered 74 Interested in Public Relations If you need a place to use your WORK STUDY GRANT, the Office of University Development is for you!

It was the first day of the associa tion's participation in the University Student Executive Council voter reg istration drive, aimed at putting pres sure on state legislators to increase funding for the University, he said. In addition to the registration drive, Dooling said GSA is putting together information packets about the eroding state support for the University and will publicize the vot ing records of incumbent legislators. GSA also plans to bring candidates to speak in late October and early No vember. • Vice President Lee Carpenter discussed the graduate student coun cils GSA plans to establish in each of the colleges. Carpenter said the idea of college councils originated last year. The councils will consist of graduate stu dent' representatives from each de partment in the colleges and will deal with intracollege issues and prob lems. and Fundraising? active role in the lives of students," she. said. Other goals include promoting an open forum between faculty and students, starting a black drama group, and "starting a philanthropic pro- ject to make us more active in the community," she said. Selina Sin Clair, vice president of the organiza tion, spoke out against student apathy, which she said was a problem for the Black Caucus in the past. "If people want things to happen, they have to participate," Sin Clair said. Wendy Pierce, treasurer of the organization, encouraged to Such councils have already been set up in the colleges of Liberal Arh., and Engineering, she said. • Graduate Council Representa tive Luke Taiclet said the council is considering several plans for dealing with the Graduate School's two-tiered faculty system. Under the present system, faculty, members are divided into the catego ries of senior and associate professor. Associate professors can teach up per-level courses; but in some depart ments they have only limited access to graduate student assistants, caus ing many of them to look elsewhere for their tenure, Taiclet'said. 'Taiclet said the council is thinking of either abolishing the distinction between senior and associate profes sors or making the separation more defined. Under one proposal, only senior professors would be allowed to teach 500-level courses. • Taiclet also discussed Grad Fair, a new GSA program scheduled for Oct. 26., where representatives of 60 graduate schools will speak to DELTA SIGMA PI Penn State's .

The plan includes pro posals to institute a 12-grade system assigning a number to every grade but F-plus, F and F-minus, she said. Rosinko said GSA has not yet re ported on the issue and perhaps needs to conduct a survey on the matter. A similar survey by the Undergrad uate Student Government last year netted only a ten percent response from the undergraduates. GSA delegate Kim Zaugg said the association did conduct a survey on the matter last year but said the results were "apathetic." -by Pat Collier Ma bell: Off-campus residents can now either buy or lease AT&T phones By LESLIE PERSIN Collegian Staff Writer American Telephone & Telegraph has changed its equipment leasing policy for off-campus resi dents, said Ronna Schlinder, customer sales and service representative. Schlinder explained that residents may now either lease or buy their phones. If the equipment is leased, the phone company will take care of any repairs for free, Schlinder said. She added that residents wanting to change the color or style or obtain a new phone should go to the Phone Center in the back of G.C. Murphy's, 127 S. Allen St. If the students wish to buy their own phones, the phone company will not be responsible for any damages that occur. But any new phone bought from AT&T will carry a 90-day warranty, said' James Jackson, customer clerk at AT&T in Pitts burgh. Jackson said he does not recommend buying phone equipment while still in school because the phones are treated roughly. The cost of leasing a phone from AT&T varies depending on the type of phone wanted, he said. A rotary dial phone can range anywhere from $1.45 to $3.45 per month. The push-button phone is more popular and more expensive with prices ranging from from $2.85 to $4.60 a month. Prices for buying phones also vary depending upon whether a phone is new or reconditioned, said All Interested Students Are Invited Career Planning for English Majors Wednesday, September 12 7-8 p.m 121 Sparks Building Now: Copy cassette tapes yourself—any length.

A new touchtone phone can cost anywhere from $5O to $5OO, while a reconditioned phone costs anywhere from $29 to $55. El said the number of times the phone will need repairs depends on the age of the phone. Older phones are made from stronger materials than newer models that may break more easily when dropped. She also said that a broken phone must be sent to King of. Prussia for repairs, whereas a leased phone can be taken to the nearest Phone Center for replacement. Customers may also buy their phones from General Telephone and Electronics Corp. or Gen eral Electric for about the same price range. Curt Melick, assistant manager at David Weis, Benner Pike, said the store is currently carrying only GTE and GE phones, but has AT&T phones on order. He said David Weis receives more requests for touchtone phones, but some areas may not carry touchtone service. State College does have touch tone service. Phones at David Weis range from $45 for a GTE wall unit to $3O for a GE wall unit, and the AT&T phones at the store will range anywhere from $5O to $3O, he said. A new program, which began this fall, has been implemented for students who lease their phones at least nine months or throughout the school year. V....1.'
