Campaign posters defaced
with 'intolerant' comments
By DANA DiFILIPPO
Collegian Staff Writer
Several defaced Undergraduate Stu
dent Government campaign posters
were photocopied and posted around
Pollock Commons and the HUB Base
ment Friday. An administrator called
the comments on the posters intolerant.
The comments ridiculed USG vice
presidential candidate Michael LaF
lam, a former political co-director of the
Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Student Alli
ance, for his sexual orientation. Com
ments included "fag" and modified the
campaign slogan to read "for a gay
time call Osborn/LaFlam."
"I wasn't at all surprised," LaFlam
(senior-human development and family
studies) said. "In fact, I thought there'd
be more."
Stan Latta, acting associate division
director of Campus Life, said his office
received a complaint Friday about a
defaced poster, but said the office could
take no punitive action because the

offender was not identified
"Unless we actually see someone
defacing a poster, it's really hard to do
something about it," Latta said.
When defaced fliers appear around
campus, Campus Life contacts the
Office of Physical Plant and asks the
janitorial staff to remove any intolerant
fliers they encounter in campus build
ings, Latta added.
Defacing or removing a flier that lists
a registered student organization as its
sponsor and is posted in approved
places breaks University conduct codes,
Latta said. The poster's comments
qualify as intolerant behavior which
could increase the punishment, he said.
A perpetrator, if identified, could also
be punished under the USG Elections
Code, said USG Elections Commission
er Wendy Goldstein. Any registered
University student caught defacing
campaign posters could be brought up
on charges and fined, she added.
While no written complaint was filed
about the defaced posters, Goldstein
The Daily Collegian Monday, March 18,1991-
said, USG has received many corn
plaints about campaign posters that
have been torn down, posing a problem
for candidates who cannot replace them
due to campaign spending limits.
LaFlam said he realized when he
decided to run that he would encounter
harassment because of his sexual orien
tation and doesn't expect such
harassment to hurt his campaign.
"I wouldn't be running if I didn't think
I had a chance. You're always going to
have opposition to progressive change,"
LaFlam said, adding that other groups,
like women and African-Americans,
have also experienced harassment
when venturing into mainstream fields
like politics.
Running mate Leslie Osborn (senior
advertising) agreed.
"I guess it's to be expected with a
campus with such intolerance as Penn
State," Osborn said. "I just think it's
very sad that we're living in 1991 and
things like this are still happening."
