• Adult graduate students and
graduate-registered student organi
zations may serve alcoholic bever
ages to adults in facilities owned by
the University only if no monetary
charge is made for admission and the
function is closed to the public.
, • Adult students may possess and
consume alcohol in their rooms or the
rooms of other adults in the residence
halls. Conduct, such as disorderly
parties resulting from drinking that
interferes with the rights of others is
prohibited.
• Students under 21 are prohibited
from possessing or consuming alco
holic beverages anywhere on the
premises of the University, specif
ically in their residence hall rooms.
The policy also cuts the University
ties to the greek system by reducing
the requirements of thg IFC•and the
Panhellenic Council to registering
fraternities and sororities and enforc
ing University regulations only if a
violation occurs on-campus.
If an alcohol-related accident oc
curred at a fraternity, the University?
wouldn't be held responsible since it
didn't require the fraternity to en
force rules.
Several recommendations from a
University alcohol study group last
year that would require regulations
on fraternity parties, such as a tap
shut-off time, were scrapped because

the University might be held respon

tions.
"The University has neither the
authority nor the ability to supervise
and regulate conduct that occurs off
campus," Jordan said..
Conway said the IFC will be chang
ing their own in-house regulations
this Fall, but was unable to say what
specific changes would be made.
"We're meeting with our lawyers
and trying to come up with something
that will minimize our own liability,"
he said.
He said the regulations aren't
"going to loosen. We'll probably have
to tighten the regulations."
Conway said the IFC would be
assigning a task force of fraternity
presidents to develop the changes
within the next few weeks.
The new University policy also
emphasizes education as a curb to
alcohol abuse. The University will:
• Refer students guilty of alcohol
related violations for counseling.
• Ask the Faculty Senate to devel
op more courses on alcohol aware
ness.
• Give more funding to On Drugs
Inc., a State College counseling cen
ter.
• Increase the number of non-alco
holic campus social events.
• Work with the community to
control alcohol use and abuse.

'A La Board' gets mixed reviews
Some students
By WINSLOW M. MASON Jr.
Collegian Staff Writer
Some students say they are pleased with the
new "A La Board" residence hall meal plan,
while others say they are firustrated, confused
and dissatisfied with the new point-based sys
teM.
"They're taking the social atmosphere out,"
said Barbara Moist-(jinior-foreign service), who
stood in the lunch line at Simmons Dining Hall.
Moist said she is no longer able to go into the
dining hall to socialize with her friends like she
used to. She added that she often went in just to
get a drink and be with them.
Now, she said, "You're wasting points if you're
not going to the dining hall to eat."
Under the new dining hall point system, stu
dents can choose from among five meal plans
that vary according to the amount of food stu
dents think they would eat during the week.
Also, under the plan, students can choose to eat
at any of eight dining halls on campus. They can
also choose specific dining hours at the HUB
Eateries and the Kern snack bar.
The system is based on points. Residence hall
students buy a plan for the semester and are
given points to use towards the purchase of their
individual meals.

Each meal has its own point scale. Breakfast is
65 points, lunch is 130 and dinner 190. The
computer, which reads the student's 1.D., keeps
track of how many points the student has left
after each meal.
Other students said that the . new system is
more complicated than the former plan and that
the University administration should have kept
the old system.
"I think when you have a new plan, at the
beginning, there's going to be some confusion,"
said Lanny Dillon, director of the Residence Hall
Advisory Board.
"If students would take five minutes to review
the brochure, they may be less confused," he
said. "The information is available to them."
Eric Becher (freshman-aerospace) and Dave
Olivo (freshman-architectural engineering) said
the plan offers choices and is quick, simple and
easy to understand.
But Timothy Rogers (junior-liberal arts) said
the new system allows only for the "sprucing up"
of the dining hall.
He said the new system is more complicated
and more expensive than last year, since a
student wanting to eat 21 meals'a week like last
year would have to buy the most expensive plan
under 'the new system, as well as additional
points. Students can buy 1,000 points for $lO.

"We were one of the only universities to get 21
meals per week," Rogers said. "They compli
cated an easy system."
But Dillon said it is obvious that students who
fully used the 21-meal-per-week plan would be at
a disadvantage because under this new system,
they would pay more' than in the former plan for
the same number of meals.
Asked about the number of students who eat 21
meals a week, he said, "I don't think there are
that many people."
Another major complaint many students had
was that although they have the option to eat
anywhere on campus, some are not allowed to
eat in West Halls and Centre Halls dining areas
during the lunch hour.
Dillon said to avoid congestion only students
who are Centre and West Hall residents may eat
lunch in their respective dining halls.
"We're trying to avoid a mad rush because
those dining halls are close to many classes," he
said.
Dillon said that these are the only restrictions
under the new system and that they were nec
essary to benefit the students who live in those
areas.
"I'm saving money," said Bilal Karriem
(sophomore-physics). "I missed breakfast. I
think it's pretty good."

Report says evidence
By ROBERT PARRY
Associated PresS Writer
WASHINGTON, D.C. The Reagan ad
ministration, in a new report, acknowledges
that some Nicaraguan rebels and supporters
have engaged in drug trafficking, but insists
that evidence is lacking against the chief
U.S.-backed Contra group.
"The available evidence points to involve
ment with drug traffickers by a limited
number of persons having various kinds of
affiliations with or political sympathies for
resistance groups," said the report sent to
Congress by the State Department.
Specifically, the report cites U.S. intelli
gence information as saying "a senior mem
ber of Eden Pastora's Sandino Revolutionary
Front" in late 1984 agreed to help a Colombi
an' narcotics trafficker ship drugs to the
United States in exchange for an airplane,
two helicopters and money.
The report also notes other drug trafficking
by people associated with the Contras, - but
found no evidence that those activities were
authorized by rebel leaders or that the main
South African Zulu
c:: id says civil war
starts among blacks
By DAVID CRARY
Associated Press Writer
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa —Mango
suthu Buthelezi, the moderate Zulu chief,
said yesterday the brutality of those who
killed a supporter's wife shows that civil war
has begun among South African blacks.
In Cape Town, a regional council voted to
integrate the last whites-only public beaches
on the Cape Peninsula. Council member Neil
Ross said: "God's own beaches should be for
God's own people."
The government said it will end on Wednes
day the special inspections of cargo being
transshipped from Zimbabwe and Zambia,
which have caused long delays. It said the 3-
week-long "statistical survey" had served its .
ptirpose.
Buthelezi, chief minister of the KwaZulu
tribal homeland and one of the country's
most powerful black moderates, issued a
statement expressing shock at "the cold
blooded murder" of Evelyn Sabelo, wife of
KwaZulu legislator Winnington Sabelo.
She was killed and her three children were
seriously wounded in an attack on their home
Friday night by assailants using a hand
grenade and automatic rifle.
"This indicates the lengths to which those
who wish to make this country ungovernable
wish to go in brutality and hideousness,"
Buthelezi said.
"It is un-African for women and children to
be targets in a war and I am concerned about
the extent to which this kind of crime will
brutalize those who are at the receiving end.
The black civil war I warned about had now
materialized."
Buthelezi's opposition to political violence
and economic sanctions has antagonized sup
porters of the African National Congress
guerrilla movement and other militant oppo
nents of South Africa's white government.

Proposed exorci
WEST PITTSTON (AP)
A self-proclaimed demonologist said
yesterday he has arranged for a long
awaited exorcism at a century-old
house reportedly filled with foul
smelling, violent demons.
But an owner of the house said she
knew nothing about the exorcism,
and a spokesman for the Roman
Catholic Diocese of Scranton also
expressed surprise, saying the di
ocese has not even decided if an
exorcism is appropriate.
Edward Warren, director of the
New England Society for Psychic
Research of Monroe, Conn., said two
priests agreed Monday night to help
Janet and Jack Smurl, who say their
house has been infested with demons
for 18 months.
The priests will perform the exor
cism within two weeks, Warren said.
Plea bargain nets info in drug ring case
By DAVE MORRIS
Associated Press Writer
SCRANTON A New York man agreed yester
day to testify against his associates after admit
ting he participated in a drug ring that smuggled
more than 7 tons of cocaine into the United States.
Michael Phillippo pleaded guilty to the charge in
a brief appearance before U.S. District Judge
Richard Conaboy. Phillippo, a former manager of
a county club in Westchester County, N.Y., will be
sentenced Oct. 3, the judge said after the plea
agreement was read by Assistant U.S. Attorney
Gordon Zubrod.
On seven occasions from July to September 1984,
Phillippo helped pilots unload cocaine from Co
lombia, Zubrod said. Phillippo did the work at the
request of another defendant, John Robertson 111,
according to Zubroa.
U.S.-backed rebel group, the United Nicara
guan Opposition, UNO, profited from drug
smuggling.
Last December, The Associated Press,
quoting U.S. investigators and American
volunteers who worked with the rebels, re
ported that Nicaraguan rebels operating in
northern Costa Rica engaged in cocaine traf
ficking to help finance their war against
Nicaragua's leftist Sandinista government.
The AP said the smuggling operations
included refueling planes at clandestine rebel
airstrips and helping transport cocaine to
other Costa Rican points for shipment to the
United States. The AP also cited a U.S.
intelligence report that said a Pastora com
mander used cocaine profits to buy military
equipment.
At the time, however, State Department
deputy spokesman Charles Redman said,
"we are not aware of any evidence to support
those charges."
Although the new administration report
accepts the validity of some accusations, it is
accompanied by a cover letter signed by
State Department lobbyist J. Edward Fox,
3 to open all beaches under its jurisdiction to
all races.
It oversees 20 beaches stretching along 70
miles of coastline, mostly in rural areas away
from cities and towns.
The city of Cape Town integrated its
beaches last year. Action by the divisional
council means all public beaches on the
peninsula now are open.
Ross, who represents the opposition Pro
gressive Federal Party, said in debate that
the council risked being viewed as "the last
bastion of apartheid" in the region if it kept
the beaches segregated.
The government's Bureau for Information
released more details yesterday about a
confrontation Monday between policemen
and a crowd of about 500 blacks at a high
school in Soweto, Johannesburg's huge black
township.
It said a 22-year-old black man was killed
and eight blacks were wounded when four
plainclothes detectives fired birdshot to dis
perse youths throwing stones at their car.
The bureau said five wounded blacks, rang
ing in age from 14 to 25, were hospitalized in
fair condition.
Bureau spokesmen reported one other
death from unrest, a black man found burned
to death Monday in the Zwide township out
side Port Elizabeth. More than 255 people,
almost all of them black, have died in unrest
since a nationwide state of emergency was
declared June 12.
About the border checks, a Foreign Min
istry statement said:. "The information gath
ered since the 4th of August is considered to
be sufficient for the present." It said the
exact reason for the inspections was confi
dential.
They began after Zambia and Zimbabwe
agreed at a summit of seven Commonwealth
nations in London to impose strong economic
sanctions against South Africa. Only Britain
refused.
Unlike a priek in two previous exor
cisms, Warren said, the team will
bless both apartments in the duplex
to leave the spirits no refuge in the
building.
Janet Smurl said she knew nothing
about Warren's announcement.
"I think I will call Mr. Warren and
talk to him," she said. "I've heard a
few things today. To me it's only
hearsay."
Warren said the Smurls were told
about the exorcism Monday night but
apparently were told not to discuss it.
"The church wants to keep it a
secret," he said.
The plans were a secret to the
Roman Catholic Diocese of Scranton,
according to Maria Orzel, the di
ocese's executive director of commu
nications.
"We are not aware of any exorcism

Robertson is one of 12 people indicted earlier this
month in what acting U.S. Attorney James West
called the largest known cocaine ring in the
country.
The ring, which started in 1980, made at least $25
million in profit, federal officials said.
According to the plea agreement, Phillippo
drove the cocaine to an undisclosed site in Luzerne
County. There, Zubrod told the court, the cocaine
was taken to a safe house by another man, who
held it until the Colombians came to distribute it.
Zubrod also said Phillippo built a secret storage

Fox's office said yesterday he was on
vacation and Unavailable to comment on the
apparent discrepancies between his letter
and the new report. Asked for comment,
Redman said he was not familiar with the
new report, a copy of which was obtained by
The AP this week.
Fox's letter is dated July 24, and congres
sional sources said the, report was distributed
on Capitol Hill in response to inquiries about
alleged Contra drug trafficking, which had
undercut support for President Reagan's
request for $lOO million in new aid for the
rebels.
Reagan's aid package won Senate approval
on Aug. 13 after earlier clearing the House.
The military and logistical assistance is
expected to begin flowing to the Contras next
month.
The report, entitled "Allegations of Drug
Trafficking and the Nicaraguan Democratic
Resistance," is the administration's most
detailed reaction to the drug charges to date.

When agents arrested Phillippo on Aug. 8, he
showed the hidden cash to federal agents who
confiscated more than $3 million, Zubrod said.
Phillippo agreed with Zubrod's account of his
crimes, but otherwise remained silent during the
hearing.
Another member of the ring, Frederick Luytjes,
38, pleaded guilty Monday and also is cooperating
with the government, West said.
The first six flights from Scranton took money to
Colombia and returned to Florida with cocaine,
the indictment states. Sixteen additional flights
brought cocaine to Pennsylvania and several other
shipments landed in New York state, West said.
As part of his plea agreement, Luytjes agreed to
surrender Air America, its planes and other assets
worth about $8 million to the government.
"evidence of a limited number of incidents in
which known drug traffickers have tried to
establish connections with Nicaraguan resis
tance groups," but it provided no details.
Asked about the new report, Sen. John
Kerry, D-Mass., a Contra aid opponent, said,
"the State Department memo raises far
more questions than it answers about allega
tions of Contra-related narcotics trafficking.
Blanket statements by the administration
that the allegations are false do little to.help
Congress determine whether the Contras are
smuggling cocaine and heroin into the United
States."
Pressed by Kerry, who has conducted a
staff investigation of the drug charges, the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee has
requested the administration's investigative
files on the allegations.
The new administration report says, "there
has been no evidence that organizations asso
ciated with the major resistance umbrella
group (UNO) have participated in or bene
fitted from drug trafficking."
But the report adds, "there are some 20,000

Timing of LCz's sale
irks state store union
By ROD SNYDER
Associated Press Writer
HARRISBURG Criticism of a
20 percent off sale in state stores
on the heavily traveled Labor Day
weekend won't stop the Liquor
Control Board from having future
discount days, an LCB spokesman
says.
LCB spokesman Bob Ford said
this week there is no proof the
sales encourage alcohol abuse and
said the board would likely ap 7
prove other sales, including one
before the Christmas holiday.
Ford's comments came in re
sponse to criticism of the sale by
the head of a union representing
state store workers.
Ed Cloonan, president of the
Independent State Store Union,
said the discount days have no
place in the state liquor,monopoly
and that the board had especially
poor timing in scheduling the lat
est discount day for the Labor Day
weekend. The 20 percent sale is set
for Saturday.
"With federal concerns over
drug use in society and the nation
al concern over drunk driving
particularly on holiday weekends,
it seems incongruous for the big
gest control state to ballyhoo a 20
percent discount alcohol sale on
the last driving summer holiday
weekend," Cloonan said in the
letter to the legislative commit
tees. '
Ford countered, "Just because
you have a sale, to think people

in the Nicaraguan democratic resistance. In
such a large cross section, it is inevitable that
there will be some who have had drug connec
tions themselves or have associated with
others who have been involved in drug activ
ities."
The report then recounts several sets of
allegations linking the Contras to drug traf
ficking.
One, involving an unidentified "senior
member" of Pastora's Sandino Revolution
ary Front, FRS, allegedly allowed the cash
starved army to obtain a C-47 aircraft, two
helicopters and $lOO,OOO along with a commit
ment of "$200,000 a month once the narcotics
shipments began.
"Only one incident of drug trafficking is
known to have resulted from this agreement.
A FRS pilot, Gerardo Duran, was arrested in
January 1906 in Costa Rica for alleged in
volvement in transporting cocaine to the
United States."
Pastora, who this spring abandoned his
fight against the Nicaraguan government,
has denied the accusations against his group
are going to run around and get
drunk . . . there is just no proof of
that. It's just simply not valid.
"People just take the opportuni
ty to purchase it to consume at
another time," he said, adding
more-expensive items sell better
during the sales because custom
ers can save more money.
Cloonan said the LCB's discount
days are held to entice customers
to buy more alcohol, which he said
is in conflict with the board's duty
of controlling liquor.
Cloonan called on the House
Liquor Control Committee and the
Senate Law and Justice Commit
tee to investigate whether the . LCB
"is now promoting the sale of
alcohol, when their legislative
mandate is to control it."
"It is not cola, VCHs or potato
chips that we are merchandising,"
Cloonan said in the letter. "Our
goal is to be the responsible con
duit of the product that is the
country's most-abused drug."
In June, a two-day, 20 percent
sale generated about $19.4 million
in revenues. During the same peri
od last year, when no sale was in
effect, the state store system gen
erated about $5.8 million in reve
nues.
Neither House Liquor Control
Committee Chairman Eugene Sa
loom, D-Westmoreland, nor Sen.
John Shumaker, R-Dauphin,
chairman of the Senate Law and
Justice Committee, could be
reached for comment on the
union's letter.
