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-

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.

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,"

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

PSU-Pitt rivalry
goes political
The Penn State-University of
Pittsburgh football rivalry is well
known, but now the campaign for
the state House of Representatives
is adding a new dimension.
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.

"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

said.

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-

nistas in Nicaragua," Aspaturian said.
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. I don't see much coming out of

it . . . nothing substantive," Harkavy added.
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.
