USG write-in candidate
hopes to rebuild group
A write-in candidate for the office of
Undergraduate Student Government
president said last week he will cam
paign but not participate in USG-spon
sored debates or publicity.
Aldo Barovero ( junior-political sci
ence) said he is running for the presi
dential office, but his name will not
appear on the ballot.
"I'm looking forward to winning,"
Barovero said, adding that his friends
encouraged him to seek the position.
Barovero said he does not want to pay
the $25 fee to the USG Elections Com
mission to be an official write-in candi
date.
The fee would allow him to partici
pate in this week's debates and have his
name included in election advertising,
Goldstein said.
Five official presidential and vice
presidential, candidates are in
March 27's USG elections, but write-in
votes are accepted. Head Elections
Commissioner Wendy Goldstein said
that write-in candidate's names must
be spelled correctly on the ballot to be
counted.
Barovero said he also does not need
He hopes to restructure
USG into a 22-member
organization that would
exclude a vice president
a vice-presidential candidate to run with
him. If elected president, he hopes to
restructure USG into a 22-member
organization that would exclude a vice
president.
According to Barovero, the new USG
would have one representative from
each housing area on campus, a presi
dent and a secretary. The other 14
members would include representatives
from student organizations such as the
Graduate Student Association, Interfra
ternity Council and Black Caucus, as
well as a student liaison to the State Col
lege Borough Council, he said.
Barovero said he would keep the Uni
versity Student Advisory Board and
USG Academic Assembly.
Visiting Harrisburg regularly would
be a priority, Barovero said.

By JAMES DUFFY
Collegian Staff Writer
Twenty-four students tested their
public speaking skills Saturday when
they competed in the 121st John Hen
ry Frizzell All-University Speaking
Contest in Willard Building.
John Henry Frizzell, the founder of
the Penn State speech communica
tion department, created the pro
gram, which is the nation's oldest
running speech contest, said Dorothy
Nam, assistant director of the Univer
sity's Forensics Council, the sponsor
ing group.
"It gives students the opportunity
to speak publicly and be recognized
for their ability," Nam said.
The council's vice president, Kym
berly Morris, said 35 students
entered, but only 24 competed
because of the snow.
"This is the first year we've actual

Park students," she said.
Morris said the competitors can
give informative or persuasive
speeches of seven to nine minutes,
and any student can enter.
Council secretary Bonnie Schaedel
said contestants were judged on orga
nization, content, audience, analysis,
adaptation, language and commu
nication.
The 24 contestants competed in two
rounds of judging with only eight
advancing to the final round.
"Usually six students make it to the
finals," Nam said, "but this year
there were ties, so we had eight."
Four University Park students and
four Commonwealth campus students
made it to the finals.
"It wasn't planned that way," she
said, "it just happened."
Contestants placing first through
sixth received certificates. Along with
the certificates, first place won $lOO,

During her first-prize-winning
speech, Christy Parsyck ( freshman

fired up about life again."
Parsyck's speech, titled "Did You
Touch Someone Today," centered on
the need for a caring society and how
to create one.
"I think it's something people
should be concerned about," she said.

"It was a speech I used in class,"
she said. "I just choose the topic one
day and did the research downtown.
It worked out pretty well."

SANTA MONICA, Calif. ( AP ) Fred

an "eco-store" to offer organically
grown cotton shirts, formaldehyde-free
linen sheets, drought-resistant plants,
solar-powered lawn mowers and other
items.
"The entire concept of being environ
mentally conscious is in fashion today,"
said Segal, 58. "It's the fashion
statement of this generation."
Segal hopes to open the environmen
tal marketplace in July. Customers will
have to bring their own bags or use his
canvas ones, he says no plastic allow
