DBA wages war against vandals but apartment owners still suffer
By SCOTT A. ALDERFER
Collegian Business Writer
Last month, Gov. Dick Thornburgh de
clared October Crime Prevention Month in
Pennsylvania and the State College Down
town Business Association initiated a cam
paign against one crime in particular
vandalism.
However, one month later, while business
es are crusading against the wanton destruc
tion of property, apartment owners are still
suffering, with little publicity, at the hands of
vandals.
David Caster, community relations spe
cialist for the State College Bureau of Police
Services, said although downtown businesses
have a vandalism problem, apartment com
plexes probably are vandalized more fre
quently because of the concentration of
people living in them!
Mary Frantz, property manager for Bench
mark Realty, 818 Bellaire Ave., estimates
about half of the vandals are tenants in the
apartments.
Frantz said Benchmark's estimates of van
dalism usually account more for the man
hours needed to clean up vomit and litter than
for replacing broken property. She said that
while damage on an average weekend usual
ly does` not exceed $2OO, the annual cost

becomes significant.
"I think that's probably one reason for the
higher rents in State College," Frantz said.
"When the landlord's expense goes up, the
cost has to be passed on somewhere.
"This year we've had less," she said.
"That's probably due to doubling the amount
of resident managers."
Larry Augerman, maintenance coordina
tor for The Apartment Store, 478 E. Beaver
Ave., formerly H.H. & B. Realtors, said his
company manages several buildings in the
borough.
The Apartment Store manages Park Hill
Apartments and Lexington House, which are
restricted to undergraduates, as well as Ami
tie Apartments and Nittany Gardens, where
undergraduates are not permitted to live.
"In the undergraduate buildings we have a
tremendous amount of vandalism," Auger
man said.
This past weekend, buildings Augerman
maintains collectively sustained the most
vandalism they have had in recent years, he
said.
"We had approximately $1,200 worth of
damage in one building," he said; "plus the
messes we had to clean up from parties this
weekend."
Augerman said the $1,200 loss was caused
by property damage; he said he does not

"It's really hard for me to point the finger
at football weekends," Augerman said.
"Homecoming weekend we had very little
damage at all."
He said he did not want to attribute last
weekend's vandalism surge to either Hallow
een or the home football game because simi
lar damage occurs every weekend.
Augerman acknowleged vandalism is often
committed by people other than residents of

attempt to give people an incentive to come
forward and identify vandals they have seen
committing an offense.
Caster said he questions the idea of offering
rewards for information leading to the con
viction of vandals, explaining residents
should have enough community pride to
report vandalism without a monetary re
ward.
"The community, the student population,
everybody should realize this is our commu
nity," he said. "If that's the atmosphere
(requiring monetary motivation) we want to
live in all right."
Caster said vandalism is similar to other
crimes in that about half the incidents go
unreported to the police.
"(Apartment managers) do report it when
the damage is substantial," Caster said,
adding that incidents such as carving initials
in elevators or writing on walls usually are
not reported.
He said if victims report vandalism, the
chance of apprehending the vandals doubles
over unreported vandalism:
"They may not, be apprehended for that
particular incident," Caster said, but if the
vandals are caught in a later incident some
similarities in handwriting or method might
lead to a conviction for the previous incident.

Teacher shortage still affecting Pa.
By SANDY LOCHBAUM
Collegian Staff Writer
Pennsylvania does not reflect a national shortage of
teachers because of its decreasing youth population in
some regions of the state, said Dante V. Scalzi,
education career services director at the University.
The need for teachers depends on the community
economic growth, he said. Parts of Western Pennsyl
vania, where the economy is dependent on steel and
other declining industries, have a decreasing youth
population and do not require more educators. Howev
er, teachers may be needed in Southeastern Pennsyl
vania.
Dan Grow, University coordinator of certification
and educational services, said a nationwide teacher
shortage has been created by the downward trend in
the number of education majors since the early '7os
and increases in population and the number of retiring
teachers.
The decrease has hit all educational areas, he noted.
Scalzi said the number of teachers being certified in
the United States is down more than 50 percent since
1972.
The number of professional certificates recommend
ed by the University in instructional curricula, for
example, went from 1,594 in 1975 to 434 in 1984-85.

During an average month how much do you spend on long distance
telephone calls to places outside your area code?
From 1985 to 1993, 50 percent of the teachers now in
the field will have retired and the national population
will have increased, Scalzi said.
"The greatest void is in math education," he said.
"Over half of the secondary math teachers in Pennsyl
vania are not certified and are working under emer
gency certificates granted by the state to the school
districts."
The situation is similar nationally, Grow said. How
ever, the number of mathematics teaching certifica
tions recommended by the University is on the rise due
to increased state financial aid to math education
students, he noted.
"The number of certifications in math bottomed out
in 1980, when only seven were granted. It has increased
and in 1984-1985 we gave out 28," he said.
Grow said another serious shortage exists in hard
sciences such as chemistry and physics. A recent push
in Pennsylvania for increased emphasis in the sciences
adds to the shortage, he said.
Even areas with surpluses of teachers in the early
19705, such as elementary education, will experience a
shortage by the end of the decade. That is due to
decreased enrollment in teacher training programs
and the increase in school-age population expected by
the end of the decade.
