■The Daily Coliegian Thursday, Sept. 19, 1985 Butchery: Students learn to sell and process meat By JANINE MILLER Collegian Staff Writer While the thought of butchering a live pig, lamb or cow may not appeal to most people, some Uni versity students are learning all about the slaughtering, meat cut ting and retail sales process. Last Friday, the meat science department resumed its weekly meat sales, which feature cuts of meat prepared by students in the University’s animal science and food science classes. The meat is sold at the Meats Laboratory, located on Porter Road behind Beaver Stadium, and includes beef steaks, roasts, ground beef, liver, pork and lamb. John H. Ziegler, professor of meat science, said students are involved in the sales through a series of classes they take as elec tives or supplements to their ma jors. “Most of this (the meat sales) is generated by classes,’’ Ziegler said. “The students attend slaugh tering classes, carcass evaluation, cutting and processing classes.” Students participate in meat sales from the beginning by raising and caring for the animals through to the slaughtering and cutting process. The animals are kept at various locations on University property, including the beef and swine barns, Ziegler said. But Donald E. Butts, a livestock processor in the meats depart ment, said student involvement in the weekly sales has decreased this year mostly because of conflicting class schedules. More students will be available to prepare the meat for sale when the semester changes, Butts said. Butts and Gerald W. Smeal, an other meat department employee, have been doing most of the meat cutting and wrapping this semester to get the meat ready for sale. The sales, which run from 1:30 to 4 every Friday afternoon, will con tinue until the second week in De- The sisters of Alpha Omicron Pi proudly announce the initiation of: Liz Becker Gwen Glattes CONGRA TULA TIONSU!

Ziegler said the meat depart ment tries to sell as much meat as possible every week. “We want the meat to move,” Ziegler said. “If possible, we ad just the prices to move the meat.” In an average week, meat work ers slaughter one head of beef cattle, three or four swine and two lambs, he said. The profits of the sale are part of the animal and dairy science departments’ regu lar budgets. Depending on the kind of meat, the meat department’s prices are Tina Zamrik often low, Ziegler said, with the prices of steaks and roasts compa rable to those at local supermar kets. However, customers at the meats sales would pay much less for other products such as liver, tongue and kidney because the University tries to move these products quickly. Customers at the sales said they like the quality and freshness of the meats. “The hamburger here (at the University meat sales) is cheaper and extra lean,” said Cathy Bar bieri, of State College, a customer at last Friday’s sale. * Soviet Jewry £ i Problems and Prospects * -K Panel discussion and also: -)< Congressman WILLIAM F.

Borough's By K.J. MAPES Collegian Staff Writer Americans are infatuated with rat ings ranking the best-dressed women, the best-looking men and the best-selling novels. And even State College is getting into the act now by rating its worst streets. Adams Avenue, from Jackson to McKee Streets, ranked number one on the borough Department of Public Works’ list of streets most in need of repair, said Mark Whitfield, State College design draftsman. Adams Avenue’s alligator crack ing, raveling and potholes earned it the distinction of being the municipal ity’s worst street, Whitfield said. Alligator cracks are cracks that wind in no particular direction, while a street suffering from raveling is dying from loose stones, he said. Yet for every alligator crack and pothole there is a cure. And this week Adams Avenue received a new curb, the first step in its two-year restora tion. “I think the time is now to really look at this cost,” she said, "and decide if it is fair.” worst streets rated Adams Avenue is not alone, howev er. • Pugh Street, from Easterly Parkway to McCormick Avenue, was rated the second worst street in the borough because of rutting, trans verse cracks cracks in a straight line parallel to the street and longitudinal cracks cracks perpen dicular to the street, Whitfield said. • Garner Street, from Foster Ave nue to Beaver Avenue, was third with similar problems except rutting, he said. Curb replacement on Adams Ave nue was the last street repair project conducted for 1985 because the Public Works Department has no more funds for borough street repair, Whit field said. Streets are not always repaired immediately because the borough receives a limited amount of funds from the state liquid fuel tax, Whit field said. The state divides the mon ey between each municipality, he said.

The department of public works estimates the state allocated $247,000 in 1983; $274,000 in 1984 and $282,000 for 1985, Whitfield said. “Our streets are deteriorating fas ter than we have money to repair them with,” he said. Three years ago, 20 streets were rated in poor condition, while in 1985, 42 steets were poor, Whitfield said. “If the streets continue to deterio rate at their present rate the (State College Municipal) Council may have to consider taking it out of the general fund rather than relying upon high way aid funds alone,” Whitfield said. The council has in the past allo cated money for street repair and maintenance through the council’s general fund, the community devel opment block grant or from munici pal bonds, said Ronald Davis; State College borough finance director. Inti group wants divestiture By VICTORIA PETTIES Collegian Staff Writer The International Student Council, which represents 2000 members, recently decided to join other student organizations in supporting University divestment in South Africa. Hung Sik Shin, president of the council, said several fallacies stand behind the University’s refusing to divest, such as tuition hikes and the lost of large sums of invested University money. Receiving diverse opinions from its twenty foreign student organizations, the council focused on the economic aspects in their decision to advocate divest ment. “The University is inconsistent in talking about divestment,” Shin, a doctorial candidate of economics, said. “The Sullivan Laws are voluntary guidelines appli cable only in the work place,” Shin said. The Universi ty supports the Sullivan code but refuses to fully commit itself on the issue of apartheid, he said. Currently the University follows a policy of partial divestment which prohibits investment in any South African company that does not sign the Sullivan Principles, a set of guidlines for racial equality in hiring practices. “Partial divestment cannot work because you can not have a voluntary code with enforced apartheid law,’’said Shin. South Africa needs more than an attempt at change in the work place and the country needs to enact anti-apartheid laws, he said. “The issue of apartheid is a serious realization of human rights,” said James Stewart, director of the Black Studies Program. Educating students to South Africa will bring the issue of apartheid into full prospective, Steawrt said. Shin said he believes students are not economically informed to the divestment issue. Many students believe their tuition costs will rise dramatically if the University withdraws its South African investments, he said. File damage report, speakers say By LORI HELLER Collegian Staff Writer Tenants must file a damage report with their landlords when leases be gin if they want to protect their secu rity deposits, two speakers said at last evening’s OTIS Night. Gail Nease, University legal advis er, said tenants should get the land lord or a second party to go with them through the house or apartment and look for damages when they move in. To protect the security deposit, tenants should submit all damages in writing to the landlord as soon as possible and should retain a copy for themselves to prove what the dam ages were at the start of the lease, Nease said. “The damage report will be part of your file until you move out,” District Magistrate Clifford Yorks said. If tenants list damages, a landlord will not charge them for those dam DANKS - Downtown State College’s only Department Store.

Naomi & Co. Beauty Shop is not |g I ‘ I PV I r AMIRICAN *1 fiHMH PonicH TO fgß Tuition hikes will not result if the University Board of Trustees votes in January to totally divest in South Africa, he said. The source of investment money is endowment funds, a fund separate from tuition cost determinations. Shin said the University hinted that its receives about a 1% rate of annual return on the invested $6.1 million in South Africa. The $50,000 to $60,000 withdrawn from South Africa could be reinvested and therefore would not be lost, Shin said. Stewart, a professor of economics, said the Universi ty reliance on the Sullivan Principles is a weak argument since the Rev. Sullivan, who the codes where named after in the late 19705, said he will support divestment in South Africa if the situation does not improve. Shin said reports of law suits being brought against the University for divestment are incorrect. He said if the University’s policy on partial divestment is not challenged in the courts, total divestment would not bring about any law suits. • “There is no justification for the University not to divest,” said Shin. “There has been pressure put on the South Africa government by South African businesses to stop the apartheid system,” Shin said. “It is crucial for pres sure to be put on the University.” The University is using the Sullivan Principles as a crutch, Sullivan said. He said he believes strong opposition both on the campus and outside will be needed to influence the trustees to vote for divestment. The strong oppositon is needed, he said, because a lot of private corporations that donate heavily to the University every year will be putting pressure on the trustees to keep investment dollars in South Africa. Larry Patrick, president of the Black Caucus, said the caucus has scheduled a discussion-lecture pro gram, “What is it all About” at 6 Sunday evening in Pollock Dining Area, to inform students about the issues of divestment and apartheid. ages at the end of the lease, Yorks said. Yorks added that the landlord has the responsibility of proving actual damages did occur under the lease. Since Sept. 10 the Organization for Town Independent Students has re ceived six to ten calls a day from students concerned about their rights regarding security deposits, OTIS President Chris Capozzi said. Most callers said they have been unfairly charged by landlords. Nease said a state statute gives tenants certain protections and places penalties upon landlords for wrongfully holding security deposits, but tenants must take measures to protect themselves. A written notice of a forwarding address must be given to the landlord prior to the end of the lease, she said. If a tenant has done this and does not receive his security deposit, which is postmarked no later than 30 days from the end of the lease, the tenant can sue the landlord to receive a refund of the entire security depos it, Nease said. If the landlord does respond within 30 days and the tenant feels the dam age charges are unjust, the tenant can sue for double the amount the landlord withheld, she said. Nease said she encourages tenants to give landlords pictures of the cleaned premises, copies of all clean ing receipts and all keys before mov ing out. Candee Evelhoch, manager of Briarwood apartments, 681 B Waupe lani Drive, commented afterward that Briarwood management does not experience many problems with se curity deposits because they take extra time to provide tenants with information 30 days prior to the end of tenants’ leases. " '" Danks will close at 3:30 p.m. Today to prepare for this event. Women's center opening University President Bryce Jordan will speak at an open house com mencement of the newly established Center for Women Students at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow in 102 D Boucke. The center opened this month and serves as an advocate for women at the University in cases of sexual harassment and discrimination and provides educational programs, serv ices and referrals, said Sabrina Chap man, coordinator of the center. Jordan will speak about the cen ter’s functions and is expected to focus on the need for such an estab lishment, according to a University press release. Other speakers will include Wil liam Asbury, executive assistant to the president for administration; M. Lee Upcraft, division director of Counseling and Health Services; and Cynthia King, chairwoman for the Commission for Women. The center will jointly sponsor a rape awareness/prevention panel discussion with the Undergraduate Student Government Department of Women’s Concerns Sept. 26 at 7:30 at the center in addition to weekly brown bag lunch lectures, Chapman said. “The center will help women in areas of the classroom environment and harassment in addition to provid ing financial and health counseling,” Chapman said. Lot to be closed University Parking Lot 43 near McK ean Road and Nittany 35 will be closed at 8 this morning for construc tion, according to David Stormer, director of University Police Serv ices. The lot, where 12 student cars are usually parked, is being closed to dig manholes for underground elec trical service. Construction should be completed in a few weeks, Stormer said. A sign has been posted for several days informing students of the work and students will be called this morn ing and asked to move their cars. They may park their cars in Parking Lot 44 until the construction is fin ished. Any remaining cars will be towed at owner’s expense. —by Carolyn Sorislo . tS ***-**K*-*>-'.-..
