Herman goes for
third term in 77th
By PHIL GALEWITZ
Collegian Staff Writer
State Rep. Lynn Herman is
seeking his third term as rep
resentative for the 77th District,
which includes Clearfield and
Centre counties.
The 30-year-old Republican
from Philipsburg was first elected
to the state House in 1982 and says
he has worked the past few years
to help the University receive its
fair share of state appropriations.
Herman, a University of Pitts
burgh graduate, sits on the House
Education Committee, which re
views the University’s funding re
quests before they go before the
full House. Herman is also a mem
ber of the Professional Licensure
Committee, which reviews state
licenses and the House subcom
mittee on higher education.
As a member of the subcommit
tee Herman has supported legis
lation to increase student financial
aid.

Candidates differ on
uses for the surplus
By MIKE LENIO
Collegian Staff Writer
Local candidates for the state Gen-'
eral Assembly say education and
economic development are expendi
tures - they want targeted with the
state’s projected budget surplus.
In 1984 and 1985 the state had bud
get surpluses that averaged more
than $2OO million each fiscal year.
Revenue for the first three months of
the current fiscal year has produced
a surplus of $5O million.
Rep. Ruth C. Rudy, D-Centre, said
budget surpluses are usually incorpo
rated into the state’s budget for the
next fiscal year, which is not enacted
until July 1. This makes it hard to
predict how the state will actually
budget the money, she said.
Rudy said she would prefer to see
the money spent on economic devel
opment, which she called “the princi
pal thrust of what needs to be
returned to Pennsylvania.”
She recommended programs like
the Sunny Day Fund, which was
designed to entice businesses to move
into the state.
Funding for the University should
be brought to a par with funding for
other universities, Rudy said. She
added that although Penn State gets
more money in general appropria
tions than other universities, it also
has more students. As a result, the
University falls behind other state
related universities in the amount of
money funded per student.
Lynn Herman
faculty at Penn State,” he said.
Herman has introduced legis
lation appropriating state funds
for differential funding on a per
pupil basis rather than alloting the
same funds to each university.
The incumbent says he has
helped approve capital projects
for the University including the'
Center for Engineering Excel
lence and the Agriculture Science
and Industry Center.
The representative has called
rejuvenating the Pennsylvania
economy one of his top priorities in
the legislature this year. He said
jobs are the key to economic revi
tilization and stability.
He has supported increases to
the Ben Franklin Partnership pro
gram designed, to stimulate
business development in the state.
Penn State has benefited from
that program, which has grown
tremendously in recent years.
This year, Herman said the Uni
verity Advanced Technology Cen
ter of Central Pennsylvania has
been awarded $5.65 million to fund
projects.
Rudy’s opponent, Republican can
didate Joyce Conklin Williamson,
said, “I think that the budget surplus
needs to be redistributed throughout
public education, rather than even
higher education ”
Williamson said she supported Gov.
Thornburgh’s Rainy Day program
for the budget surplus, which sets
aside money for times of economic
distress.
Rep. Lynn B. Herman, R-Centre,
recommended that the state allocate
more surplus money towards eco
nomic development programs like
the Ben Franklin Partnership Pro
gram, in which industry, education
and the state government work to
gether to create more jobs in the
private sector.
Herman also recommended gener
al appropriations, which would help
ease tuition burdens for students of
higher education and lower local
property taxes for basic education.
George Field, Herman’s Democrat
ic opponent in-the 77th District, said
“education should be a priority of the
state.” He recommended restoring
the state’s former goal of providing 50
percent of local school district bud
gets and raising the guaranteed mini
mum annual salary for public school
teachers to $18,500.
Field, a University graduate, also
said he does not agree with Thorn
burgh’s Rainy Day Fund. “We have a
rainy day in Pennsylvania right now,
he said.
George Reid fights
for funds and seat
By PHIL GALEWITZ
Collegian Staff Writer
Port Matilda native and Peace
Corps veteran George Field is
running for the 77th District seat
in the state House of Representa
tives. As a University engineering
supervisor, Field is building a
candidacy around the need for
more state funding for Penn State.
Field, a Democrat, has proposed
forming a Penn State Legislative
Coalition to help the University
“get its fair share of the educatio
nal pie.” The coalition would be
composed of legislators whose dis
tricts contain a Penn State cam
pus or college and those whose
districts are immediately served
by Penn State.
The voting block, according to
Field, would provide the Universi
ty with legislative influence it has
lacked relative to the University of
Pittsburgh and Temple Universi
ty.
Field has called raising money
for the University the most impor
tant mission as a state representa-

Williamson pursues
region's state seat
By JANE KOPACKI
Collegian Staff Writer
Republican Joyce Conklin Wil
liamson, running against Demo
cratic incumbent Ruth C. Rudy in
the district that includes parts of
Centre and Mifflin counties, wants
more state funding for the Univer
sity.
Williamson, a school teacher
from Benner Township, said her
campaign is emphasizing the
“three E’s” education, econom
ics and environment. Economics
and education are tied together in
her pursuit for more state funding
for the University, she added.
She said the economic devel
opment of the state must be in
vested in the education of the
leaders of the future.
The Democratic challenger said
she is the person who could active
ly convince the state’s legislators,
one-by-one, of the funding needs of
Penn State. She said she would
also support applying the state’s
budget surplus to public educa
tion.
She also supports Gov. Dick
Thornburgh’s Rainy Day program
for the surplus, which sets aside
funding each year to be used in a
time of economic distress.
Williamson said the University
is important to students not only
because it is a respected education
institute, but because it is a nation-
George Field
tive. The University is a vital part
of the district because it is the
largest employer and serves as a
magnet to business and economic
development, he said.
"After. 19 years of tuition in
creases, Penn State is not receiv
ing the state support it needs,”
Field said.
Field is running against incum
bent Republican Lynn Herman for
the seat in the state House and has
accused Herman of not working
hard enough to bring funds to the
University.
During the campaign he said:
“Up to this point the people in
Harrisburg haven’t pushed hard
enough for Penn State.”
The Democratic hopeful said his
diverse background makes him
better suited for the position. The
Penn State graduate says he has
made numerous contacts in the
high-tech industry and was a
Peace Corps volunteer in Africa.
During the campaign, Field said
he supports Democratic guberna
torial candidate Robert P. Casey’s
plan for economic development.
ally reputable research center.
“(Pennsylvania’s) future relies
on the research being done at
Penn State,” she said.
The research conducted at the
University is important to Penn
sylvania’s job future and econom
ic security, Williamson said.
Williamson said insurance re
form is an important issue in the
state House because increased
liability suits have increased
rates, affecting jobs, businesses
and municipalities in Pennsylva
nia.
Williamson supports the recent
proposal that sets a $18,500 mini
mum salary for first-year teach
ers and says she wants to improve
the quality of all levels of educa
tion.
She does not support the
Gramm-Rudman budget-balanc
ing cuts to education that cut fund
ing for higher education.
Creating more jobs in the Com
monwealth and Centre County is
also'one of her goals, she said.
Williamson said she also sup
ports attempts to clean the envi
ronment and use the state’s
natural resources.
She said she will be a verbal
representative confident enough
to go to the governor whether he
is a Democrat or Republican to
support positive legislation for the
171st District of the state House of
Representatives.
Close races not
to affect voter
turnout
By BRIAN HANNON
Collegian Staff Writer
Although , the 1986 election cam
paign has provided the state’s citi
zens with a close gubernatorial race,
a narrow U.S. Senate contest and
heated U.S. House races, state offi
cials predict an average voter turn
out next week.
“Voter turnout is highest in presi
dential years. This year there will be
a high turnout, but not quite as high
as the ’B4 vote,” said Jeanne Suit,
chairwoman of the Republican Com
mittee of Centre County.
Nancy Fisher of the Centre County
Elections and Records Office said
office personnel cannot predict voter
turnout until ballots begin to be count
ed.
Fisher added that 1982 voter turn
out during gubernatorial and senato
rial races was 60 percent.
Of the 56,788 people registered to
vote in Centre County on Nov. 4, the
Republicans control the majority
28,741 registered voters. In compari
son, 22,209 and 5,838 voters are regis
tered Democratic and independent,
respectively
The Democratic and Republican
parties are expecting about a 60 per
cent turnout, committee chairmen
from both parties said.
Merle McCalips, county Democrat
ic chairman, said the turnout will be
close to 60 percent because of the
tough congressional races.
Both McCalips and Suit mentioned
the help of the registration drives and
organized campaigns of the individu
al candidates in getting a possibly
larger turnout.
Statewide, Democrats hold 800,000
more registered voters than the GOP.
State Democratic spokesman Todd
Bernstein said the key to success for
the party is to get the greatest num
ber of voters in the most heavily
populated areas of Pennsylvania to
the polls.
“Elections don’t necessarily de
pend on low turnout but on who turns
out,” said Jack Stollsteimer, regional
director for the Pennsylvania Public
Interest Coalition. In a low-turnout
Rudy seeks 171st
seat and third term
By JANE KOPACKI
Collegian S,taff Writer
Democratic state Rep. Ruth C.
Rudy, seeking re-election for a
third term in state’s 171 District,
consisting of parts of Centre and
Mifflin counties, said she will con
tinue to fight for the University
and vote for the best interests of
her district.
Rudy, 48, of Centre Hall, was
first elected to the state House in
1982.
She said the highlight of her four
years in the state House was pass
ing legislation through the Appro
priations Committee that provided ,
$lB million for the University’s
Agriculture Science and Research
Center.
Gov. Dick Thornburgh signed
into law the funding for the center
but cut the proposed project bud
get to $l3 million. The project now
lies in the hands of federal com
mittees that will have to match
state funds for the center’s com
pletion.
Rudy said Pennsylvania will
have to establish a program to
produce the $5 million lacking in
the state approval Thornburgh
signed.
She said she has always worked
long and hard to increase funding
for the University because its not
getting its fair share of state ap
propriations. She said although
the University receives more ap-

year, he said, candidates must make
sure their people turn out to vote.
Stollsteimer said the tradition
seems to be that every six years the
party out of power comes out to vote
much more. In two recent elections in -
Louisiana and Washington, for exam
ple, the Democrats have done better
than expected because the GOP has
picked up more young voters who
aren’t voting as consistently, he said.
State Republican spokesman David
Patti stressed the importance of the
student vote. “Many students ap
prove of President Reagan and other
Republicans but students also have
the lowest'turnout rate.”
Patti said that his party tries to
help get students out to the polls
through publicity, radio work and
absentee ballots.
Democratic congressional candi
date Bill Wachob said a low voter
turnout will hurt the Republicans
more because of a renewed interest in
the Democratic Party in the district.
He added that the 23rd Congressio
nal District has attracted attention
during this election because it had
long been written off by the Demo
crats as a Republican region.

propriations in the state’s budget,
money per student is lower than
other state institutions.
“I’d like to see Penn State re
ceiving its fair share of the pie, or
at the very least, keeping up with
the other major universities in the
state,” Rudy said. “Penn State
University has an integral role in
employment in my district, I can’t
ignore that.”
She said she will continue to
support programs that entice and
retain business in Pennsylvania.
Among these programs is one that
will reduce corporate net income
tax by 1 percent to create jobs.
The tax credit program in which
an employer is granted direct re
duction of state business tax equal
to that of the federal unemploy
ment tax.
Rudy supports the 12-point PRE
PARE program that gives stu
dents the opportunity to prepare
for and re-train to be effective
members of society. The program
is also an effort to fight illiteracy.
“An education, whether in the
colleges or re-training programs,
is the key to becoming productive
members of society,” she said.
Rudy received a degree in X-ray
technology from the Carnegie In
stitute, attended the University
and has served as elected county
official for 11 years. Prior to her
term in the state House, Rudy
served in the Centre County Pro
thonotary Office for seven years.
