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-

cember and will resume two weeks
after the start of Spring Semester.
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

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.

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.
A severe weather season can de

“We’ve been getting about the
same amount of money for the past 10
years,” 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

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. " '"
