2—The Daily Collegian Wednesday, Nov. 27, 1985 Parking garage opening delayed By PHIL GALEWITZ Collegian Staff Writer Rain not only put a damper on some State College residents’ holiday spirits but also post poned the opening of the new 367-space Fraser Street parking garage until Dec. 7. Borough Manager Carl Fairbanks said although the seven-story garage, named Fraser Plaza, will not meet this Saturday’s scheduled opening, he is pleased with the construction process so far and expects completion for the opening ceremonies Dec. 7. Chet Muchinsky, project manager for J. C. Orr and Sons of Altoona, which built the structure, said if the weather holds out the garage will be ready by the new projected date. This marks the second time the project comple tion has been changed. A year ago, Nov. 15 was set for opening the garage.

A ribbon cutting and dedication ceremony is set for 10 a.m. Dec. 7 when State College’s mayor, parking authority chairman, Downtown Business Association president, and the building engineer will be present. “Compared with the construction of the Pugh Street Parking Garage, the Fraser Street garage has been a more financially stable investment, making it more attractive,” Fairbanks said. The Pugh Street garage was built ih 1973 and served as the only State College parking garage until the council approved plans for Fraser Plaza in 1983, Fairbanks said.

Fairbanks said no tax monies were used for constructing the facility. Only funds from the parking authority paid for the garage. Parking meters and funds from town parking lots were able to make up the cost for construction. The Downtown Business Association will pay $60,000 for five years to help defray anticipated operating losses the first few years, Fairbanks said. Along with the weather, a one-day workers strike and some supply delays also slowed work completion, Fairbanks said. “I would have preferred more time to build the garage. The schedule was very tight but State College wanted it done for the Christime rush,” Muchinsky said. Fraser Street, currently a one-way street, will be converted to a two-way street when the garage opens, Haas said Overall, comments oh the aesthetic appeal of the garage have been favorable. “The parking garage is far more attractive than most thought it would be,” Fairbanks said. • Terry Dransfield, 251 S.

President Jordan receives his Thanksgiving turkey from the Poultry Science Club yesterday. Jordan, two others get Thanksgiving turkeys By COLLEEN SICKS Collegian Feature Writer As students head home for Thanks giving turkey and all. the trimmings, University President Bryce Jordan was presented with a bird of his own to help him celebrate the holiday season. John Ferry, president of the Poul try Science Club, presented Jordan and wife, Jonelle, with the turkey at Old Main yesterday. The Poultry Science Club continued its gift-giving tradition for the third year and also gave a holiday bird to Wayne Hinish, acting dean of the College of Agriculture. The club also selects a State College community group to support and this year gave a turkey to Stormbreak, a shelter for runaways. For Jordan, the tradition will give enough fowl to last throughout the holiday. “I have to say this is one,of the nicer traditions here at Penn State,” Jordan said. Jonelle Jordan said past turkeys the club has given them have been beautiful and each provided them with wonderful Thanksgiving din ners. Poultry Science Club members bag, process and sell fresh turkeys at the University’s poultry farms to finance field trips to professional meetings, poultry farms and proc essing plants. The students, who are majoring in poultry management technology, should be able to sell about 100 birds before the end of the year. The club has only 10 members so 1 GRINDER CHRISTMAS WEEK December 16,17,18,19, 20, 21,22, 23, 24 Join us for festive menu specials at luncheon and dinner.

Present at the gift-giving ceremony were club members Lester Fisher and Anthony Pisano; Owen Keene, the club’s adviser; and Herbert Sie gel, head of the Poultry Science de partment. “We hope to do this for years to come,” Keene added. George Georges, a member of the Poultry Science Club, said that pre senting the turkeys is a “symbol of good will.” “Needy people need a turkey too,” Georges said. Jane Haukauy, counselor for Stormbreak, accepted their turkey on Sunday. Wolgemuth Bros. Inc., located in Mount Joy, supplies the turkeys to the club at growers’ cost and the students sell them at market price. “When people care enough about the flavor of their turkey to buy one fresh, we want to be sure they get the best,” Schell said. “Most of our customers hear about the turkey sale by word of mouth,” he said. “We always have orders for more,” Georges said. Morris Mast, professor of food sci ence, said the average person eats 11 pounds of turkey a year, but almost half of that is processed more than the club’s turkeys. Further processed turkeys are in the pot pies, luncheon meats and hot dogs. “Total poultry consumption, in cluding chicken, has doubled in 25 years,” Mast said. Man 'fooled by' industry. By LINDA DEUTSCH Associated Press Writer SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The widow of a man who died of lung cancer and heart problems testi fied yesterday that her husband believed he had been “fooled by the tobacco companies” and in his dying days said he wished he had never started smoking. John Galbraith said six months before he died that he wished he had believed the federal govern ment’s warnings about the dangers of smoking, Elayne Galbraith testi fied in her $1 million wrongful death suit against the R.J. Rey nolds Tobacco Co. She claims the manufacturer of Camel, Winston and Salem cigarettes is liable for her husband’s death. “We talked at some length about it,” she recalled, saying there were many more conversations about smoking after that. “I said I was Anti-smoking group attacks AMA's stand By JOHN C. SHELTON Associated Press Writer CHICAGO An anti-smoking group yesterday attacked The American Medical Association board of trustees’ opposition to lawsuits that seek to hold tobacco companies liable for lung cancer and other tobacco-linked diseases. Last week the AMA board adopted a proposal which recom mends the association oppose product liability lawsuits against tobacco manufacturers because they are “an ineffective and un wieldy tool for shaping public poli cy with regard to the health issues of tobacco use.” Such a suit is being tried in California. It was filed against the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. by the family of a heavy smoker who died in 1982. The family contends the man died mainly from lung cancer caused by smoking. Such suits are supported by the Tobacco Products Liability Pro ject, a Boston-based group that urges higher taxes on cigarettes as a means of discouraging smok ing. The group says large judgments sorry he had started smoking, too. We discussed how he felt and how he was dying.” The testimony was given after several objections by Reynolds’ attorney Thomas Workman. He argued unsuccessfully before Supe rior Court Judge Bruce Dodds that Elayne Galbraith’s testimony on her husband’s last words on smok ing should not he heard by jurors because it was hearsay. Galbraith told the jury that she realized her husband’s smoking was a problem in 1960 when doctors removed a benign growth “the size of a football” from his lung. “I remember the doctor saying John’s lung was full of tar and he thought that was from cigarette smoking,” she said. She said she asked her husband to quit then and several other times but was unsuccessful. “My husband' was a wonderful gentleman, but this was one thing would force tobacco companies to raise the price of cigarettes be yond the means of many smokers, especially teen-agers. But Dr. William S. Hotchkiss, AMA board chairman, said the panel does not consider such suits an efficient way to curb the use of tobacco. “We oppose smoking tobacco in any form, but we don’t think en couraging and abetting lawsuits is an appropriate position to take,” Hotchkiss said in a telephone in terview from Chesapeake, Va. “Product liability cases have compromised the availability of insurance coverage in many areas,” he said. The AMA board’s proposal will be considered at a meeting of the organization’s policy-setting House of Delegates in Washington next month. Hotchkiss said he expects a lot of discussion on the board’s report. But Richard Daynard, a law professor at Northeastern Univer sity in Boston and co-chairman of the tobacco-liability group, said he could not understand the board’s opposition to wrongful death suits. widow says that was not open for discussion,” she said. Even after John Galbraith was placed on oxygen 24 hours a day, she would find cigarettes hidden around the house. She also testified that her hus band “smoked all of the cigarette to the very end,” and that when he was diagnosed as having lung can cer in 1978, he told his doctor he had quit smoking when he was still puffing three or four packs a day. Galbraith said her husband dropped out of the Mormon church in 1976 because of guilt feelings ( about his smoking. “The Mormon church had what they called words of wisdom,” she recalled, “and John felt unable to live those because he smoked. .. . He said he would like to have gone to the temple but he could not live the words of wisdom. He could not give up smoking.” Her attorney, Melvin Belli, is trying to prove that cigarettes cause cancer and that cigarette manufacturers are responsible for the deaths of smokers. Reynolds’ attorneys contend that John Galbr aith chose to smoke and that it has not been proven to be addictive or to cause cancer. State proposes warning labels for snuff cans HARRISBURG (AP) - Pack ages of smokeless tobacco would have to carry a label warning of potential health hazards under legislation approved yesterday by a House committee. The Business and Commerce Committee, on a 14-0 vote, passed and sent to the full House a bill that would impose the regula tions on the sale, manufacture and advertising of chewing tobac co and snuff. Any package or advertisement of the products would have to contain a conspicuous warning about potential health dangers, such as oral cancer, according to the measure. In addition, the legislation would prohibit the distribution of free samples of chewing tobacco or snuff.
