2—The Daily Collegian Friday, Jan. 24, 1986 Unico Corporation buys convenience store chain fly RICH DOUMA Collegian Business Writer Unico Corporation of State College has acquired a chain of 51 conve nience stores in western Pennsylva nia, Unico's advertising and sales promotion manager said. Jill Shaffer said Unico, the parent of Uni-Mart Corporation, has bought Open Pantry Food Marts of Western Pennsylvania Inc., but the price of the sale was not available. "(An Open Pantry Food Mart) is a convenience store just like Uni- Mart," Shaffer said, adding that the 51 Open Pantry Food Marts will be operated as Uni-Marts effective to day. She said three of the 51 stores in the chain are in the Dubois area while the other 98, in and around Pittsburgh, bring the number of Uni-Marts in that city to 78. "We already have 30 (Uni-Marts) in Pittsburgh," Shaffer added. When reached for comment regard ing the aquisition, the Open Pantry Food Mart's corporate offices in Pittsburgh referred all questions to Unico's headquarters.

However, the majority of those stores are in Pennsylvania, Shaffer said. There are 19 Uni-Marts in State College, Bellefonte, Boalsburg and Pleasant Gap. Although the stores will officially change names today, Shaffer said it may take months to change the signs on all the new stores. Unico will also convert the interior of the newly acquired stores in a fashion similar to existing Uni-Marts, she said. "We go in and remodel the stores after we acquire them," Shaffer said. The Open Pantry buy out is Unico's third acquisition involving several convenience stores; however, Shaffer said the company is more active in the construction of their own build ings for Uni-Marts. "We've aquired some (existing buildings), but the majority we build from the ground up," she said. Shaffer said Unico will be opening two new Uni-Mart stores in New York within the next two months. 11====li I====zi e? Let us know. WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) Pres- Initiative affairs at AID since 1984.

Beaver Ave., said a spokesman for the state Department of Health. Bill Lindeberg said the center will be available for people to receive counseling on Acquired Immune De ficiency Syndrome and be tested for antibodies of the HTLV-111 virus '— the virus linked to the development of AIDS. AIDS destroys the immune system of its victims, rendering them sus ceptible to certain deadly infections. Dr. Robert Gem, director of the division of communicable diseases at the health department, said the blood samples taken at the center will be tested at an Erie, Pa. laboratory certified to conduct HTLV-111 testing. If the test is positive, the sample will then be sent to a state laboratory for retesting, Gem said. Test results will be returned to the center and the individual will be counseled about necessary lifestyle changes, such as avoiding the ex change of blood and semen -- the primary method of the virus' trans Shootout benefits muscular dystrophy By JOHN L. SPENCE Collegian Staff Writer Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity will sponsor its first philanthropy this weekend, philanthropy chairman Mike Sternberg said. Sternberg said that from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. this Sunday, his fraternity will sponsor a basketball shootout at the State College Area Interme diate High School, 650 Westerly Parkway. The event, sponsored by Stroh Brewing Company, Air Jamaica and Hedonism 11, Lady Nautilus, the Lighting Group Inc. and the Siegel Engraving Co., will benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Associa tion. "Since we're a new fraternity, it's very important to have a phi lanthrophy," Sternberg said. "It's letting people know we're not just sitting here drinking beer. We're out there doing philanthropic work as well." Ken Krieger, administrative vice president of the Interfraternity Council, said the Alpha Epsilon Pi chapter at the University is 3 years old. He said the fraternity occupies Campus apartments offer choices By K.J. MAPES Collegian Staff Writer The University's Nittany Apart ments make little difference to the downtown realtors' renting market, but to students who plan to enter a lottery for the few available 'apart ments, the new housing gives them an alternative to residence hall living. Representatives of both A W and Sons Enterprises, 309 E. Beaver Ave., and Park Forest Apartments, 901-E W. Aaron Drive, agree the campus apartments will not affect their mar ket since all of their rental units for undergraduates are full for the up coming year. `Some (residence hall) students prefer the option of cooking their own food and having their own bathroom.' —Patti Martin, ARHS president William Mulberger, manager of the room assignment office for residence halls and Nittany Apartments, said undergraduate students who will be juniors or seniors next Fall Semester and who are now living in a residence hall on campus can enter the lottery for an apartment by Feb. 28. Some of the apartments are being designated for undergraduate stu- PSU staffer appointed to task force By KATHLEEN CASEY Collegian Staff Writer Mary Judith Garner, assistant to the University associate director of health services, was recently ap pointed to the National Task Force on Standards of Nursing Practice in College Health. "The purpose of the task force is to try to develop a statement of stan dards, guidelines, and criteria that provide guidance to nurses engaged in nursing practice with college pop ulations," Garner said. "The standards will serve to define the scope of practice of nursing as well as describe the quality of nursing care provided to college commu nities," she added Garner received both her bachelor of science degree in nursing and master of nursing in family health from Penn State. She served tours of duty with the U.S. Army Nurse Corps mission, Gens said. "(The center is) predominantly a counseling activity," Gens said. Strict confidentiality will be main tained, Gens said. The blood samples are identified only .by numbers and individuals need not give their name when requesting counseling, he added. "The whole process has confiden tiality built into it," Gens said. He added that the health department has been dealing with diseases like syphi lis and gonorrhea for a long period of time and therefore they have confi dentiality built into their programs. Gens said before the establishment of the State College center, the state had only three counseling centers, located in Norristown, Chester, and Reading. This counseling and testing center is being established because "we felt that we should have additionil sites through the state, and it was only logical to put one in. State College," Lindeberg said. Gens said a center is being set up in State College because, "there are a lot of gay organizations in the area and we felt that those organizations might think about this as something they might want to (become involved with)." the now defunct Alpha Tau Omega house at 321 E. Fairmount Ave. Sternberg said participants are given 30 seconds to make as many baskets as possible from various spots on the court, each worth their own point value. He said the com petition will be divided into three divisions: fraternity, male inde pendent and female open. He said finalists will be selected from the highest finishers in each division. They will then compete in the finals to be held at Rec Hall during halftime of Penn State bas ketball games.. The fraternity division finals will be held Thursday, Jan. 30, at the Penn State vs. St. Joseph's game; the male independent division fi nals will be held Saturday, Feb. 1, at the Penn State vs. Rutgers game; and the female open divi sion finals will be held Wednesday, Feb. 5, at the Lady Lions vs. Pitts burgh game. Sternberg said that between the philanthropy, selling raffle tickets and canning, his fraternity is hop ing to raise up to $4,000 for MDA. "I think it will be a success financially," he said. "But there is dents due to a suggestion made by the Association of Residence Hall Stu dents, Mulberger said. Mulberger said ARHS conducted several surveys and told the housing office that the results indicate stu dents "would like to' still live on campus and still have an opportunity to live in an apartment," Mulberger said. "Some (residence hall) students prefer the option of cooking their own food and having their own bath room," ARHS President Patti Martin said. About 18 two-bedroom apartments with a capacity of two undergrad uates per bedroom will be available for students who sign up for the lottery. The maximum number of students who will receive occupancy rights is 72, Mulberger said. At the present time, Mulberger said 45 students have submitted their names into the lottery and he antic ipates that most interested students have not submitted their contracts yet. Because these apartments already have students living in them, the students who want to remain will have priority over those signing up for the lottery for the first time, Mulberger said. • It is highly unlikely that every student now living in the apartments will leave, Mulberger said. Mulberger said that students should not expect to receive an apart ment through the lottery nor fail to file for a dorm contract. at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and at the U.S. Army Hospital in Seoul, Korea. Garner has been with the University Health Service since 1981. "It is important that college health nursing practice be recognized as a specialty within nursing," Garner said. "Patients acquire special prob lems occurring specifically to college environments." Garner said students live a punitive life in college. Many different stress factors are acting at once. Students must adapt to an independent life style while coping with demanding academics. "College nurses help students to maintain independence and wellness in order to cope with these stresses." Garner said. These standards will give nurses practicing within the college commu nity parameters for nursing care Walter Klausmeier, executive di rector of Family Health Services, said the plans for the center have not been finalized and the project has been slowed by the state health de partment nurses' strike. Gem said, "If the strike is over in a week, I don't see it interfering with this programing." However, if the strike continues longer than a week, the state health department will continue progress on the testing and counseling program when the strike is over, he said. Bill Sheperd, a health department spokesman, said although details have not been finalized at the State College location, the state health de partment has completed planning for the center. Dr. Bobby Jones, a physician with the state health department division of epidemiology, will train AIDS counselors at the sexually trans mitted disease clinic at Family Health Services, Sheperd said. Train ing may be completed within the next week and the center should be open for appointments, he said. Lindeberg said the testing program will be managed by Family Health Services and will be financed through the state health department, with the aid of a federal grant. a lot of room for growth and im provement." "The first year is the important year. We're just laying the ground work for future philanthropies." `Since we're a new fraternity, it's very important to have a philanthrophy. It's letting people know we're not just sitting here drinking beer. We're out there doing philanthropic work as well.' —Mike Sternberg, Alpha Epsilon Pi philanthropy chairman Those wishing to participate can sign up at Alpha Epsilon Pi today and tomorrow or in the HUB base ment today. The event is open to all University students. If students fail to file for a dorm contract and do not receive occupan cy rights for a Nittany apartment through the lottery, they will not have a room reserved for them for Fall Semester. Students who plan to remain in the apartments must notify Shields Building between Feb. 17 and 21. Interested students should file a Resident Hall Contract at the Bur sar's Office, 103 Shields, and pay a $lOO deposit just as they would nor mally do if they were plannning to live in a resident hall. They should then fill out a lottery card at the Assignment Office, 101 Shields. If students do win an occupancy from the lottery they still have an opportunity to refuse acceptance without having to pay a fine. Students who win will not be required to accept the space, but will be given one week, probably in March, to secure their apartment space, Mulberger said. Undergraduate students now pay $675 per person per semester in Nitta ny Apartments, but this will likely increase when the Board of Trustees approves University rate increases in April or March, Mulberger said, add ing that the rate does not include utilities nor telephone bills. The rate for a room in the residence halls for a semester is about $1,375 a semester with $595 for meals. The lottery procedure was, "copied after the resident hall room assign ment procedure," where students receive requests by semester stand ing, Mulberger said. by which they can address students health problems, said Garner. The newly formed task force met for the first time last Sept. 26 and 27 in Kansas City as the result of a collaborative effort by the American Nurses Association and American College Health Association, Ruth Hutchison, head of the task force, said. "The standards and guidelines are still in draft form," said Hutchison. "After the draft has been dissemi nated throughout the nursing profes sion, reviewed and returned with comments and suggestions, the task force will meet again and put the draft into document form." Nurses wishing to participate in the review and evaluation of the draft of standards are requested to send their names and addresses to ANA Head quarters, 2420 Pershing Road, Kan sas City, Mo., 64108. imitioni (,OPENS • AEII • AEII • AEII • AEII • AEll • AEII • AEII • AEII • AEII • AEII • AEII • • AEII )) / AEI Basketball "Shootout" Benefiting Muscular Dystrophy Preliminaries Sun., Jan. 26 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Finals to be held during halftime of Penn State basketball games Sign ups at AEII, 321 E.
