Other students have reported see ing cockroaches in the Cellar and in the Greenhouse. Jack Donahue, manager of the eateries, said the HUB has "high sanitation standards, the same as any dining hall," but said additional spraying for cockroaches would be done because of the complaints. One student worker at Dough-to- Go said he saw cockroaches around the drains in the floor, in the ice machine, around the cash register, in the doughnut cases and in the doughnuts themselves. "If I'm not looking for them, I don't see them, but ifJ move things I see them," said another worker. About two weeks ago, workers said, they looked inside the ice ma chine and saw at least 10 cock roaches there. One worker approached Scott Page, food service supervisor, with the problem, but he told them they should continue to Bennett calls for western culture studies WASHINGTON,D.C. (AP) Educa tion Secretary William Bennett re newed a controversial call yesterday for more campus attention to the study of Western civilization, saying the West is under siege from both without and within. "It is under attack from those who declare themselves hostile to West ern progress, Western principles, and in some cases, Western religions," Bennett said in a speech prepared for delivery at Smith College. "This attack comes from without, of course, bUt it also comes from within," Bennett said. #rrd~a_~ _-_--== _===-=-=3l_'_-___=_-= weather Today and tonight mostly cloudy with occassional rain and rain showers.

Marjorie Milanak of Greenville filed a suit March 11 seeking unspeci fied compensatory and punitive dam ages from the University and seven current and one former faculty mem ber, according the U.S. District Court clerk in Williamsport. The defendants named in the . case are: the University; nursing depart ment head Marion Gooding; Annette Ezell, former department head; Jor 20 percent of college students not vaccinated ATLANTA (AP) Although vacci nation requirements are now wide spread for most of America's schoolchildren, thousands or even millions of their brothers and sis ters at college still don't have their proper shots.

Milanak also alleges in the suit that she lost a nursing job in Dußois because of problems with the Univer sity, the Williamsport Grit has re ported. Milanak, whose phone number is not published, could not be reached for comment. Additionally, five of the nursing faculty contacted yesterday refused to comment on the case. Gooding said the events of the case Control reported Thursday that be tween 5 percent and 20 percent of U.S. college students do not have docu mented immunity against measles and rubella. That means between 640,000 and 2.6 million college stu dents are presumed susceptible.

Carol Cartwright, dean for undergraduate programs and asso ciate provost, said the University will not, discuss the matter, and lawyers for the plaintiff and the defendants could not be reached for comment. According to the Grit article, the following events led to the case: Milanak enrolled at the University in August 1983, taking 17 credits. In November, Ezell recommended that she withdraw from the University because of her grades and because she was not cut out for graduate school. Milanak was failing one course, but had A's and B's in four of her courses. Mansfield had previous ly advised Milanak not to be con ness in the pre-vaccine era, has been drastically reduced in this country; just 838 cases have been reported thus far this year. Rubella is even less common. But measles reporting has in creased somewhat in recent years, partly because of outbreaks on col- cockroaches found in ice machines or other food machines in public establishments violate state health regulations and are considered con taminated. One worker said he sees an aver age of four to five cockroaches in Dough-to-Go a day. Two student workers said a cus tomer recently returned a doughnut containing a cockroach. The work ers directed the customer to the management, who compensated for the incident by giving the customer a free meal pass, one student said. Donahue denied that the incident occurred and also 'denied that a sanitation problem exists. Donahue said there has been only one incident, when a customer found a' fruit fly on the frosting of one of the doughnuts, but the insect did not necessarily come from the eatery. "This is an attempt by an unhap py student employee to get back at his employer," Donahue said. "He has no foundation to give the public a perception that we have an un clean operation here." When questioned about cock roaches in the ice machine, Dona hue said the Collegian had received incorrect information, and that any existing problem had been cor rected. Later in the day, however, a Colle gian reporter visited Dough-to-Go and saw about three coachroaches in the ice machine. The machine was in use at the time. cerned about the failing grade. Evan G. Pattishall Jr., dean of• the College of Human Development, and William K. Ulrich, a University trust ee, told Milanak that the nursing department did not follow normal procedures and that faculty members should not ask her to withdraw in mid-semester. In February 1984, Milanak was accused of plagiarizing an article and having a instructor ghost write a paper for her. She told the newspaper she was charged with academic dis honesty in March. A hearing was held in September 1984, and the charges were upheld. Milanak received two F's and was suspended for the spring semester. lege campuses, the CDC noted.

"We have turned off the ice ma chine, and it will not be in use until the dispenser is treated by Nittany Pest Control," Donahue said. Donahue said the ice for Dough-to- Go will come out of a different ice machine from the main kitchen un til the problem is resolved. He said he believes the cockroaches are coming from the basement, where the ice is carried up in a bin. William McKinnon, assistant vice president of the University's De partment of Housing and Food Serv ices, said the area will be sprayed but that he does not see the situation as a frequent problem. He said the HUB is a large building, and only the food areas are sprayed. Two solutions he sees to the problem are proper cleaning and more frequent spraying. Donahue said the eateries are normally sprayed twice a month. State College Borough Health Of ficer Mark Henry said cockroaches are "capable of carrying disease causing organisms by mechanical transmission." One type of disease known to be carried by cockroaches is salmonella. University entomology Professor Robert Snetsinger said the presence of one cockroach often indicates that a considerable number are also present. Milanak re-enrolled for summer and fall 1985, and said she completed her thesis work in February 198 G. She was hired at Christ the King Manor Nursing Home in Dußois in lieu of graduating in May. Her employer received a call from the University in April, saying Mila nak would probably not graduate and could lose her nursing license. Milanak said Gooding told her she would not graduate because she failed Nursing 511, had two F's on her transcript altered, was guilty of pla giarism, and her scores were too low, the article said. Also, Gooding con tended that her re-admittance was the result of outside pressure and that she had disregarded the chain of command in making complaints. Indiana University.
