State College Police Lt. Jack Orn dorf said those arrested were not part of a drug ring, adding that he did not believe there were "any 'big fish' (caught). But it depends on what you determine (to be) big fish." He said about eight other arrests are expected as early as today. Employing the combined efforts of 32 police officers from State College Bureau of Police Services and Uni versity Police Services, the following individuals were arraigned before District Justice Clifford Yorks: • Abdul Alexander, 22, inmate at Centre County Prison, was taken from the prison and charged with criminal conspiracy and one count of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance. Bail was set at $5,000. • Thomas G. Crane, 21, of 234 Fulton St., was charged with three counts of possession of a controlled substance and three counts of posses- Please see DRUGS, Page 14. USEC told 3-year trustee seat given to Schreyer, not student By SUSAN KEARNEY Collegian Staff Writer Student Trustee Mary Greeley- Beahm told members of the Universi ty Student Executive Council last night that she will serve only an eight month term on the Board of Trustees instead of the full three-year term. Greeley-Beahm, who was appoint ed by Gov. Dick Thornburgh, said she was under the impression that she was filling the vacated seat of former student trustee M. Patricia Walsh. • She said instead that she is filling Jay B. Claster's seat on the Board of Trustees. His term began in 1984 and will expire July 1, 1987. Greeley-Beahm said she was shocked when she received her oath certificate on Tuesday which stated the duration of her term, because the student trustee application she filled out last year stated that the term would expire in three years. However, she said, she will contin ue to sit on the board until someone fills her seat. If no one is chosen by Scalping: Pa. statute often overlooked By TERRY MUTCHLER and JAMES A. STEWART Collegian Staff Writers ' Judgment calls are an integral part of football both on and off the field. For years, whether to address or ignore football ticket scalping has been a judgment call for officials of University Police Services. Some law enforcement officials say enforcing Pennsylvania's anti scalping statute is often over looked. "We don't usually worry about (ticket scalping) too much, to be honest . . ." said University police Supervisor Ron Jackson. "I don't think it's a problem that needs to be addressed." Jackson and other police offi cers said they tend to concentrate on more serious violations related with football season, such as un derage drinking or people break ing into cars. Technically, ticket scalping is reselling a ticket for a higher price than that of the original sale. Rea listically, it's a big business.' A full-time scalper from Phila delphia, speaking on condition of anonymity during last Saturday's Cincinnati-Penn State game, said he makes $25,000 a year scalping Hobert Mueller Jr. of Bellefonte was one of nine people arrested yesterday morning in a drug raid. July 1, she will be on the board for the July meeting, she said. She added that if the seat is filled before July there is a possibility that a non-student will be chosen because there is no specifically designated student seat. USEC Chairwoman Sue Sturgis said the circumstances surrounding Greeley-Beahm's appointment sends a negative message to students and is a major concern to student leaders. "It's very distressing what this means to student representation on the Board of Trustees," she said. In a telephone interview following the meeting, Board President Obie Snider said that Thornburgh chose to give Walsh's expired seat to William Schreyer, chairman of the Campaign for Penn State. "I haven't heard why the gover nor's made his selection in that mat ter," Snider said. Greeley-Beahm said in her opinion this indicates that Thornburgh ob viously put more emphasis on secur ing Schreyer's appointment rather at Penn State games along with Phillies and Eagles games at Vet erans Stadium and events such as the World Series and the Super Bowl. "This is a job, just like every thing else someone does to feed a family," he said. But no matter who thinks what, the practice is illegal, said an assistant press secretary in the state attorney general's office. Citing title 8 of Purdon's Penn sylvania Consolidated Statutes Annotated, Jack Lewis said people cannot resell tickets to amuse ments unless they are licensed by the county where they want to sell the tickets. Centre County's Deputy Trea surer Anita Auman said her office does not issue licenses to resell tickets, adding that she had no knowledge of the statute. "We have dog, fishing and hunt ing licenses, but nothing like that," Auman said. In areas which have licensing, a person can mark up the regular ticket price by half or $2 which ever is less. For example, Lewis said, a $l4 dollar ticket could be sold for $l6. However, in Philadelphia, a per son who is licensed can hike up a Please see SCALPING, Page 14. than a student appointment for the three-year term. University President Bryce Jor dan, who also attended the USEC meeting, said he was unaware of Greeley-Beahm's unusually short term until yesterday morning. Since Greeley-Beahm's term will last eight months, she can attend only four board meetings, she said. "In only four meetings there is only so much you can do," she noted. Echoing Greeley-Beahm's opinion, Sturgis said the situation presents a crisis for USEC because "it 'doesn't leave us much time" to select a new trustee. In addition, Greeley-Beahm said there are other problems to consider. The July meeting will be a difficult meeting, she said, and the new trust ee will have to adjust quickly in order to be effective. She said the first few meetings are a very important period of adjust ment and are a crucial time for the student trustee to build working relationships.
