College Ave. According to an employee in the trade book department at the Penn State Bookstore On Campus, students comprise less than 2 percent of the people buying Paterno's book. Stephen R. Long, manager of the University Book Centre, 208 E. Col lege Ave., said his store's sales have been slow because of the timing of the biography's arrival. "(Sales have been) fairly light because we didn't get them in until everybody was leaving for Labor Day weekend," Long said.

Sales at the Student Book Store, however, which has an estimated 1,000 copies, have been steady since the book's arrival Friday afternoon, Brown said. Jeff Welshans ( junior-manage ment) said he bought the book because of his love for Penn State football. "I've read a lot about it in the papers and I've always loved Penn State football and Joe Paterno," Welshans said, adding that he looks forward to reading about Paterno and his views on college athletics rather than exclusively about football.

Long, the manager at the Universi ty Book Centre, said he plans to buy himself a copy of both the regular edi tion and the special limited edition. Of the three bookstores, only the Penn State Bookstore is likely to order a second printing. "There is discussion of it at Ran dom House because when we talked to them about our first order they said `We had printed only so many and we were looking at a second printing now but if you want another order, you better order quickly,' " Wilson said. Long and Brown will wait to see how the book sells before ordering a second printing for their stores. "We'll see how things are after the first three football games," Long said. Bush Continued from Page 1. Committee Chairman Joseph Biden said, "Quite frankly, the president's plan is not toughenough, bold enough or imaginative enough to meet the crisis at hand." Key elements of Bush's plan: ■ Authorization of $1.6 billion for corrections, $250 million to beef up the court system, $3.1 billion for law enforcement, $1.2 billion for prevention and education, and $925 million for treatment. ■ Funds for local law enforcement efforts would more than double, to about ;350 million, to finance a street-level attack on drugs. ■ States were urged to adopt stiffer fines for casual drug users, from seizing users' cars and suspending drivers' licenses to sending some offenders to military-style camps. ■ As a condition for receiving feder al funds, schools, colleges and universi ties would be required to adopt drug prevention programs. ■ States and local governments, as well as private institutions and compa nies, were urged to adopt drug testing programs for employes. Drug testing would be mandatory for federal arres tees, prisoners and parolees for illegal drug use. ■ The nation's insurance companies were urged to cover drug treatment programs in their policies but he stopped shott of proposing mandatory standards. He also called for studying ways that drug users could be committed to hospi tals and other facilities for treatment without being charged with crimes. Bush emphasized the toll in the nation's poorest communities by target ing $5O million to "fight crime in public housing projects." 1 7A 4 / 115 / 411 1 4 timmswe will hold an organizational meeting Thurs., Sept. 7 at 7:30 pm in 318 HUB Previous members and those interested in joining are encouraged to attend.

PENNSTATE University Park 1,, , Campus "You know," Bush said, "The poor have never had it easy in this world. But in the past, they weren't mugged on the way home from work by crack gangs. And their children didn't have to dodge bullets on the way to school." In a report to Congress, Bush called for "full swift funding and implementa tion of the many proposals and initia tives" in his plan. "There's no question but that drugs are (the) quicksand of our entire socie ty," Bush said in an afternoon meeting with his Cabinet. "They're suffocating individuals and families and institutions as well. "And all Americans must pull togeth er to solve this problem," the president said. Bush said his program, mandated by Congress, amounted to "the first time we really have had such a strate gy." Bush's program would authorize spending $2.2 billion above the current anti-drug war chest of $5.7 billion in 1990. More than half of the increase $1.2 billion is earmarked for a pre viously announced expansion of federal prison cells. Actual outlays to carry out the pro gram in 1990 would be $6.4 billion, an increase of $1.5 billion over the amount already earmarked. The higher figure of $7.9 billion also includes budget authority for additional spending on multi -year programs. The 1989 funds for the Andean region are separate from the $65 million worth of military equipment and aid that Bush authorized this month for Colombia to combat a new, bloody offensive by the country's drug barons. Bush once again praised Colombian president Virgilio Barco for his crackdown, and reiterated his call for an international drug sum mit. WELCOMES LYN SALZBERG '56 Democrats are considering their own proposals to offer debt relief to Latin American nations to subsidize withdra wal of farm land from production of coca crops that are refined to produce cocaine. The White House said that ;716 mil lion would be siphoned from other fed eral programs to pay for part of the drug package. The Economic Devel opment Administration, which the Rea gan administration tried to kill, was targeted for a $194 million cut. A federal program to assist states in processing immigration cases would lose $320 million under Bush's plan. An additional $5O million would come from funds now allocated for operating public housing. Mast of the ;50 million would be used for improving security at public housing projects. Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., chair man of the House select committee on narcotics abuse, praised Bush's overall effort but criticized the strategy of tak ing money from other programs. "For a lousy $2 billion, we can get on with this war," Rangel said. Rangel said Bush was trying to make Congress "go back and nickle-and-dime from the different committees to raise $7OO million. Tome, it just doesn't seem as though we're sincere." Under a comprehensive drug law approved by Congress last year, Bush was required to come up with a coordi nated strategy for fighting drugs. It is a battle that has been waged, largely in vain, by his predecessors. Bush, himself, was appointed by then- President Reagan in 1982 to oversee an effort to stop drugs from entering the country. That strategy, however, failed to stop the flood of drugs, and Bush's program does not emphasize interdic tion efforts. 105 Oki Main University Park, PA 16802 (814)3654516 An Equal Opp itimity Ul.iill.iNy
