2—The Daily Collegian Friday. Oct. 10, 1986 Ex-PSU student now heads DBA By BETH BOYER Collegian Business Writer Geoff Brugler considered attending veterinary school and kicked around as a part-time University graduate student and bike mechanic before he finally decided to become a down town businessman. Brugler, now chairman of the Downtown Business Association, has owned Appalachian Outdoors House, 324 W. College Ave., for the past 12 years. He will serve as DBA chair man until March 1987. As DBA Chairman, Brugler over sees all meetings and committee ac tivities and is interested in working with the borough and the University on a comprehensive area plan for the future. As an undergraduate Brugler stud ied physiology at the University until 1972. Brugler's said his business sense initially told him to open a bicycle shop in another town. Instead, he looked to see what was needed in State College. Brugler's Appalachian Outdoors House originally sold outdoor equip ment such as hiking and camping gear, but now focuses on lifestyle items as well. These items include clothing for people who walk their dog or work outdoors, Brugler said. When he opened his store, the town had only one other outdoor shop. Brugler said his involvement with the DBA began in 1981. Brugler added that the DBA has, "helped my business more than my business has helped the DBA. You get to see a lot of issues, the things that act on a business," Brugler said. He added that the DBA deals with concerns, complaints and sugges tions from downtown businesses and focuses on promotion and advertising of the downtown commercial dis tricts. • "State College has a lot of small specialty shops. It's got a lot of char acter," Brugler said. " Our main interest is to create this as a shopping focus as'much as possible." More businesses are leaving down- 9j6. , „ • Calder Square II Introductory Sale Friday thru Sunday only! 20% off PERSON'S FUN WEAR town areas and are relocating around shopping areas, Brugler said. The DBA has applied for funds from the state's Main Street Manager program directed to the borough, Brugler said. The Main Street Manager program is a federal program that helps im prove downtown business design and economic development. If State Col lege is chosen for thp program, the municipality could receive $25,000, $12,500 and $6,250 in three consecutive years, respectively, Brugler said. Under the program, the DBA would make up the difference between State College's department of community affairs budget and total operating budget of the mainstreet manager program that would initially total $25,000 to $35,000 in the first year. But although the DBA is an organi zation that represents downtown business, Brugler said current mem bership consists of 75-out-of-190 busi nesses. The DBA's lack of membership results in less money for programs, Brugler said. More membership money would make the DBA budget stronger and enable the organization to do more, he said. Brugler said many businesses that do not participate in the Downtown Business Association are reaping benefits without contributing any ef fort. "These businesses are getting a lot of benefits from what the DBA does without any contribution," Brugler said. "The DBA is an organization that is 100 percent committed to the businesses downtown and for the businesses downtown to not be com mitted, I think they lose out. To sit back, complain and not participate isn't an effective way to run a busi ness." "if (DBA) could double mem bership, we'd triple our strength," he said. . Brugler said the DBA is also inter ested in working with the University on the Campaign for Penn State, but Brugler said itwould "premature" to disclose any DBA contribution plans. it ......„ 4 4..„.„, ,_ :111: , ~L . --!‘.., . .1: ::.,_.;:t• :i'.'.

Geoff Brugier, owner of Appalachian Outdoors House in State College, will serve as Downtown Business Association chairman until March 1987. Brugler said the DBA also tries to facilitate better working relationships with the University and the borough. "With the borough the main thing is the Main Street Manager Program. We've worked with them on this for the past couple of months. We've also gotten a lot of University support," ' Brugler said.

"The University is very important to the town," he said, "and the town is important to the University as far as having a great place for people." Robert Steinbach, owner of the Bumblebee, 214 E.

The DBA tries to take a look at the things that affect everyone. 0=0: 1 ) C I===i (-) = c. (,)- Dole to lead local rally for Clinger By JANE KOPACKI Collegian Staff Writer U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole will lead a rally for Republican incumbent U.S. Rep. William F. Clinger at 4 p.m. Sunday in Schwab Auditorium. "I'm extremely proud to have Senator Dole coming into the dis trict," Clinger said. "We've worked together on a number of issues and I have great respect for his abilities and his commitment to the country." Clinger will face Bill Wachob for the 23rd Congressional District seat, which the Democratic Na tional Committee has targeted as one of the most important races in the House. University support groups, in cluding Students for Clinger and the College Republicans, helped with the "leg work" involved in preparing for Dole's visit, Clinger Campaign Manager Jim Clark said. Dole was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1968 and has been the majority leader since 1984. He also served four consecutive terms in the House. The Kansas senator was chair man of the Senate Finance Com mittee from 1981 to 1984 and is also a member of the Agriculture Com mittee. Dole was Gerald Ford's running mate in the 1976 presi dential election. Although Dole has been cam paigning for Republicans in Sen ate races across the country, Clinger is one of the few House Correction Because of a reporter's error, yesterday's Collegian Incorrectly stated the choice of representation that University faculty had when they were voting whether to unionize.

Wright, of Texas, will visit the State College Elks Club Monday night at 7:30 in a reception cosponsored by the Centre County Democratic Com mittee. Most political observers believe Wright will be the next speaker of the House because Thomas P. "Tip" O'Neill is retiring.

Democrat George Field, run ning for the seat in the 77th Dis trict, recently ran a local newspaper advertisement point ing out the differences between his non-political background and that of his opponent, Republican in cumbent state Rep. Lynn Herman. The advertisement shows two football players, one from Penn State and the other from Pitt, representing Field and Herman respectively. The ad compares Field, a 1982 Penn State graduate, to Herman, a 1978 Pitt graduate. The ad reads, "We always cheer for Penn State." "It was really meant to be a humorous ad to point out the dis parities of Penn State versus Pitt," Field said during a square off against Herman on Wednesday night. i>ti Women's Health Services.

"We think we need to be up there with Pitt, we need to get the same kind of funding for our students here at Penn State that Pitt has for their students." He added, "It was a fun way of showing the difference . . . the way (Penn State) is being short changed for student funding." Herman said the advertisement is "a non-issue." He added that he was born and raised in Centre County and has "a longtime alle giance" to Penn State. "I'm sure (Herman) is proud to be a Pitt graduate and I'm proud to be a Penn State graduate," Field said. "It was a way of calling attention to ( the differences in funding) and it did. We've gotten a lot of response from that ad." "It doesn't matter what some body has under their shoulder pads, it's what somebody has up between their two ears," Herman said. —by Jane Kopacki U.S.-Soviet meeting subject of hope By KATHLEEN CASEY Collegian Staff Writer This weekend's meeting in Reykjavik, Iceland, between Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev and President Ronald Reagan is the subject of hope for increasingly better relations between the two superpowers. The possibility of agreements on strategic and intermediate range missies, as well as human rights and regional issues, are expected to be the main points of discussion, say University experts on U.S.-Soviet relations. The meeting was first suggested by Gorbachev in a letter to President Reagan during negotiations to free American reporter Nicholas Daniloff from Soviet captivity. Soviet physicist Gennadiy Zakharov, accused of paying an FBI informant for scientific secrets, was returned to the Soviet Union as part of The Daniloff deal. Before the Daniloff affair, a summit meeting had been tentatively scheduled, said Vernon Aspa turian, Evan Pugh professor of political science. "Reagan is now setting the agenda," Aspaturian said. "When they go to Iceland, they will be discussing Tegional issues which the Soviets said they would never discuss intermediate range missiles, and human rights." The Reagan administration is expected to ad dress Soviet involvement in Afghanistan, Angola and Nicaragua, Aspaturian said. "A cynical deal would be a trade-off for Afghani stan for Nicaragua . . . our abandonment of rebels in Afghanistan for their abandonment of the Sandi- WITH SPECIALS I immommummimmommotommoommummommom lim • is um Is EN.1.1......1.1.1.1.....11.1. r ..1.1.11..m...1.11.1.

Since the Daniloff-Zakharov exchange and the agreement to meet in Iceland, "the rhetoric be tween the two powers has been cooled," said Robert L. Branyan, a U.S. foreign policy expert and associate professsor of political science at the University's Schuylkill Campus. Both leaders think it is important to meet and that the meeting appear successful, but much hostility clearly remains, Branyan said. Aspaturi an said he believes Gorbachev needs the meeting more "Gorbachev has yet to come up with any con crete achievement and there is potential good for both the Soviet Union's domestic and political purposes," Aspaturian said. - The Soviet Union suffers from internal economic problems and is seeking to develop economic ties with Western Europe, another University profes sor added. Zachary T. Irwin, assistant professor of political science at Behrend College, said Gorbachev's action shows he is far more oriented and alert to Western European concerns. "The Soviets hope to gain economic benefits from the West without political loss," Aspaturian said. It all comes down to the question of arms control, said Robert Harkavy, University profes sor of political science and an arms control expert. "However, it's not clear to me whether Reagan wants arms control to come out of meeting," he said. "Reagan has not been enthusiastic about arms controls in the past.

The United States and Soviet Union agree that medium-range missiles should be reduced in Eu rope, but the leaders must still discuss verifica tion, disposal of missiles after bilateral reduction, and the number of warheads or launchers that should be reduced, Aspaturian said. "I agree with the administration in that medi um-range missiles have to be approached from global perspective rather than just the European theater," Irwin said. "There has to be a global limit. There must be a reduction in medium-range missiles (SS-20s and Pershing IN) in both Asia and Europe," he added. In reducing strategic or long-range missiles such as the SS-25 and SS-22 missiles, the United States favors a reduction in land-based missiles and warheads, while the Soviets want reductions in Navy sea-based missiles and bombers, Aspatu rian said. "Reagan is not willing to negotiate with the Soviet Union on his Strategic Defense Initiative," Branyan said. Aspaturian said: "The Soviets need an arrange ment with the United States on SDI. They cannot afford to compete technologically." "The Soviets are among the only people that believe that SDI will work," he added. The preliminary meeting in Iceland is not all that important, Harkavy said. If Gorbachev and Reagan set an agenda to discuss important strategic, regional and human rights issues at a proposed summit in December, University experts say, the meeting will have been a success. • Customer pays applicable sales tax • Not valid with any other coupon on same menu item NM al NI NINE IN Min MINIM 111 NI NINO MI IN IN NI 111 IN lIN IM IN 1111 IN Nl= NI 1111 Only $6.14 Not .)LO ...In en, OMer COupon on same menu .tem X 0011111• 1 m 111 OM MI MIN= 11111 237-7314 Expires 10/12/86 Open: 11 AM fot lunch till 2 AM at night Fri-Sat till 3 AM 237-7314 237-7314 Expires 10/12/86 Open: 11 AM for Lunch Till 2 AM at Night FRI.-SAT.
