Public has few complaints with
research park zoning ordinance
By GREG SCOPINO
Collegian Staff Writer
A zoning ordinance for the Penn State Research Park
will probably pass with few changes because of low atten
dance and lack of complaints at last night's public hearing
on the matter.
All of the people who spoke at the College Township
Council meeting said they believed the ordinance would
benefit both the University and the township.
"I was going to try to answer any concerns people had
about the ordinance, but since there haven't been any
complaints, I'll just say I was pleased with the cooperative
efforts between the University and the township," said
Dan Klees of the township's planning commission.
"I didn't know it would go so quickly, I wasn't sure what
to expect," said Bill Weaver, the township's zoning officer.
Only about 6 people showed up specifically to comment
on the proposal.
The proposed ordinance creates flexible zoning regu
lations for the nearly $360 million dollar park, which will

be controlled by the council. The ordinance allows for
industrial, retail, and educational development in one
area, which is impossible under current zoning regula
tions.
Eva Cormick, Ron Lucus, and Mark Faulkner, attor-
neys specializing in zoning regulations, are reviewing the
ordinance, Weaver said.
Weaver said he does not expect any major changes to
be made in the ordinance, although some minor altera
tions might be made.
The ordinance was developed by the University and the
township, said Lloyd Nieman, chairman of the council.
"I believe the ordinance allows for the park to grow, but
the township can control it," said Gary Schultz, member
of the.Centre Regional Planning Commission.
The ordinance, the first of its kind, could be used in other
places in the county or state, he said.
"The ordinance will probably encourage positive use
of the area, and allow for greater cooperation between the
University and the township," said John Hocks, on behalf
of the State College Area Chamber of Commerce.

Sorority pledges celebrate the end
of rush, reunite with fellow rushees
By JESSICA HARTSHORN
Collegian Staff Writer
Exchanging hugs over cake and
punch, sorority pledges celebrated
the end of rush last night at the Pan
hellenic Celebration in the HUB ball
room.
Pledges got back together with
"rush buddies" women who their
rush counslers, or Rho Chis, paired
them with.
Most rush buddies joined different
sororities, so last night was their first
chance to exchange pledging stories.
"You still have friends outside your
pledge class," said Alison Smith, a
pledge for Alpha Phi sorority, 1 Wolf,
who enjoyed seeing her rush group
again.
Rho Chis also enjoyed getting back
with their groups.

"The best part of being a Rho Chi
was watching all the women, how
they felt and where they finally ended
up," said Rae Calamia, a senior
member of Alpha Phi.
The Panhellenic Celebration com
mittee started planning the event last
April. Attendance was greater this
year than in the past, said Terri Fifh,
a member of the public relations com
mittee for the celebration.
But several pledge classes could not
attend the event due to Yom Kippur,
pledge inductions or other events,
Fifh said.
The evening included speeches wel
coming pledges to Greek life. Then
the women stood and recited the Pan
hellenic decree, led by Colleen Finne
gan, Panhel executive vice president.

The event was called fifth rounds in
the past, but the name was changed
to get away from the idea of rushing,
Finnegan said.
"Everyone's tired of rush," Finne
gan said.
Pledges agreed
"I hated rush," said Jennifer
Leach, a pledge for Zeta Tau Alpha
sorority, 2 Ritner. "I like meeting a
lot of people, but it was very
stressful."
