Reporter tells of Cyprus' invasion
By VICTORIA PETTIES
Collegian Staff Writer
The U.S. government alleges the
1974 Turkish invasion of north Cyprus
was a result of internal problems
between Greek Cypriots and Turkish
Cypriots, a British journalist said
during a lecture on American rela
tions with Cyprus last night.
Christopher Hitchens said the U.S.
government finalized a step in a
misinformation process by stating
the problems in Cyprus resulted from
conflicts between the Greek Cypriots
and the Turkish Cypriots. This gov
ernment viewed the separation of the
northern region, which is occupied by
Turkish Cypriots, and southern re
gion of Greek Cypriots, as the result
of a dispute within the island.
The United States supplies the
Turkish government with military
supplies because the country borders
the Soviet Union. The e U.S. govern
ment gives money to the Turkish
New cable channel discussed
By SONYA BAUM
Collegian Staff Writer
A developing public-access television channel might
provide an outlet for the energies of young filmmakers
and video enthusiasts in Centre County.
The Government/Educational Cable Television Access
Task Force, which includes representatives of area
government agencies, discussed the possibility that State
College area and university students could create short
feature films for use on the station.
Marlowe Froke, task force member, said last night that
film and video capture the imaginations of many young
people.
"I think we should challenge youngsters to work in the
medium," he said.
The task force plans to broadcast on Channel 19 with a
format similar to WRSC's Channel 4, Bill Rigby, task
force chairman, said. Channel 4 broadcasts community
news information throughout the day
However, Channel 19 will a be non-profit organization

government, a North American ally,
to protected the 1,000-mile border
against Soviet aggression. Yett the
Turkish government is using the mili
tary supplies in Cyprus, Hitchens
said. There are 40,000 troops sta
tioned in the southern region of the
country.
Forty percent of Cyprus is now
occupied by Turkish Cypriots in the
northern half of the country. Greek
Cypriots make up 82 percent of the
total 840,000 population, and Turkish
Cypriots account for 18 percent of the
population. After the Turkish gover
ment invaded 11 years ago, Greek
Cypriots were forced to move to the
southern half of the island.
There is a expensive, sophiscated
military base in the northern region
of Cyprus to be used by the U.S. rapid
deployment forces, Hitchens said.
Turkey is building military supplies
which will eventually be used to take
over the entire island of Cyprus. The
Cyprus invasion should be viewed as

At this time, task force members are uncertain about
an exact program schedule and funding for the station.
To garner funds, task force member Leslie Montz
suggested offering a membership which could be bought
by area organizations who would then have a say in
programming.
Froke also suggested the possibilities of an arts-related
grant.
Channel 19 will be broadcast through Centre Video,
which serves approximately 90 percent of Centre County,
said Jeff Fisher, Centre Video's systems manager.
Although a broadcast location has not been determined
several possibilities that include Schlow Memorial Li

School, 653 Westerly Parkway, are being discussed,

said.
Christianity was erased completely
when the Turkish government in
vaded Cyprus, Hitchens said. The
highly evolved Christianity culture
represents the core of existence in
Cyprus.
"Cyprus is an important piece of
the Middle East jigsaw," Hitchens
said, because it is a neutral meeting
place for countries.
Greece cannot survive without the
United States, Hitchens said. The
only method by which Greece will
achieve enough military power to
contend with Turkey is to make the
U.S. government believe Greece is a
better ally than Turkey.
Hitchens described the United
States as a paymaster to Turkey,
explaining that as long as Turkey
defends the North Atlantic Treaty
Alliance, this government will give
that country military supplies.

Thornburgh surveys flood damage
By EDWARD FROST
Associated Press Writer
PITTSBURGH Gov. Dick Thornburgh completed a
three-hour tour of the Monongahela Valley yesterday as
slowly receding waters kept about 1,500 people from their
homes after record-breaking floods
. hit five southwestern
Pennsylvania counties.
"Most of the homes are going to have a lot of heavy,
heavy damage," West Elizabeth Police Officer George
Payne said of 100 houses in his Allegheny County commu
nity. "Most of the people down there are going to lose
everything."
Some residents of. Washington and Fayette counties
were asked to ration drinking water after flooding forced
nine water plants along the Monongahela to shut down.
The utilities were providing drinking water from reserves
but asked customers to conserve supplies, the state
Department of Environmental Resources said.
The Washington Township Municipal Authority de
clared a water emergency and a spokesman said treat
ment facilities may not begin operations until the
weekend. The authority serves 4,000 residents in Fayette
and Washington counties.
In Washington County, the towns of Roscoe, Stockdale,
Elco and Allenport were being supplied by state National
Guard tankers, said Earl Bugaile, a county spokesman..
"We are in serious jeopardy of losing water for the
boroughs of Donora and Charleroi," he said.
Homeowners with wells may are being asked to boil
their drinking water first and may have to have wells
cleaned and disinfected before they can be used safely,
Bugaile said.
• Four . communities in Fayette County Fairhope,
Laßelle, Point Marion and Masontown also were
having water trucked in, the county emergency manage
ment agency, said.
. Thornburgh and Lt. Gov. William W. Scranton HI flew
over the flooded , areas by helicopter and later toured
Brownsville in Fayette County and West Brownsville and
California in Washington County by car, said gubernatori
al spokesman Dave Runkel.
"The governor wanted an eyeball inspection," Runkel
said. The state is considering asking for a federal disaster
declaration, he said.
John Comey, spokesman for the Pennsylvania Emer
gency Management Agency, said 1,500 people remained
out of their flooded homes yesterday, some staying at 18
emergency shelters established by the Red Cross.
Local officials said as many as 5,000 residents were
evacuated at the height of the flooding.

Four days of rain in the nation's mid-Atlantic region
has been blamed for at least 26 deaths and thousands of
evacuations in West Virginia and Virginia.
Flooding in southwestern Pennsylvania, aggravated by
runoff from a 7-inch downpour in the West Virginia
headwaters of the Monongahela, broke records set in 1936
but brought no loss of life.
State and federal officials planned to tour flooded
communities yesterday to compile a damage estimate
expected to be in the millions.
"Until the water goes down it's really hard to guess
about damage," Morgan said.
Authorities credited the National Weather Service's
river forecasters for helping prevent any serious injuries
in Pennsylvania, although rescuers were still searching
Walnut Creek in Erie County for salmon fisherman
Lawrence Kalisewski, 28, of Edinboro, who was swept
away early Tuesday.
"River flooding is predictable. It's something that
normally you can get sufficient warning out to the
communities," Comey said. "We had the early predic
tions of crest and flooding Monday night."
Thornburgh ordered 600 Pennsylvania National
Guardsman to help with relief efforts.
Thornburgh made $1 million in emergency funds avail
able in Allegheny, Fayette, Greene, Washington and
Somerset counties after the Monongahela reached flood
depths not seen for 50 years.
U.S. Rep. Joseph Gaydos, a McKeesport Democrat,
asked Thornburgh to include Westmoreland County so
that the flood-damaged community of Webster in Ros
traver Township would also be eligible for government
assistance.
State transportation officials said portions of at least 20
roads were under water, and pavement had disappeared
in three places along one Fayette County road. A bridge
at Brownsville was permanently closed due to damage
from one of scores of runaway barges.
Floodwaters crested in Pittsburgh, where the Mononga
hela and Allegheny rivers meet to form the Ohio, at 5 a.m.
yesterday, at 26.2 feet, 1.2 feet overflood stage. The
swirling water poured over a retaining wall and forced
the downtown portion of the eastbound Penn Lincoln
Parkway to close through the morning.
Aldo Angelo, National Weather Service hydrologist,
said the Ohio River continued to rise downstream and was
expected to crest at 36.8 feet, a little above flood stage, in
Wheeling, W.Va. at 7 p.m. yesterday.
Neither the Allegheny nor Youghiogheny rivers exceed
ed flood levels, the National Weather Service said.
