"Being action vice president is a full-time job, so I have to live in Washington, but my family is in Florida," she said. "While I am there I still have work to do, but I do like to write, especially our stories, run fast and read." By "family," Dempsey is refer ring to her mother, who has Alz heimer's disease, and her 22-year old son. She also has a 21-year-old daughter who attends college in New Jersey.

State College Borough Mayor Arnold Addison spoke to the Downtown Business Association last Tuesday about ending the stir over the column and getting the town back to normal. Although he understands student leaders' desire to do something, USAB's letter won't help, Addison said. "I don't think it gets us any thing," he said. But USAB members say they wanted to send a message to the Collegian. "USAB is sick and tired of the Collegian in general," said Tim Finn, Interfraternity Council president, adding that USAB's actions were not just because of Wilson's column. Student leaders think the Colle gian slants and twists stories to make them negative, Finn said, adding that leaders want the truth and both sides of stories reported. Student leaders think the Colle gian often does not represent the facts fairly, agreed USG Vice President Merryl Werber. Leaders have a feeling of negative report ing and selective coverage, she added. But some students don't agree that the Collegian slants stories. "Overall, I think it's a fair rep resentation," said Pete Schnabel (junior-molecular and cell biology). The Collegian doesn't have a radical slant to its general news coverage, agreed Deb Girlock (senior-social work), adding that student organi- EN * EN * EN * EN * EN * EN * EN * EN * EN * EN * ;, Congratulations to Sigma Nu's W 1992 Spring W Pledge Class 4 * [..1 James DeLancey Ronald Rabickow, Jr. Christopher Habeeb Timothy Rang z Luis Hernandez William Seaman, Jr. [..4 * Ryan McCarthy James Wayland z k 4 KICK IT!

The Collegian doesn't slant its articles but often picks stories about controversial subjects that cause discussion, said Scott Langbein (freshman-civil engineering). Many of - the student organiza tions don't think they get enough coverage, Finn said, listing the Graduate Student Association, Organization of Town and Inde pendent Students, Panhellenic Council and the Penn State University Veterans Organization as groups with complaints. Since the administration has no control over the Collegian and let ters to the editor haven't changed anything, USAB wants to hit the Collegian where it hurts in the pocket, said USAB President E.J. Shaffer. But the Collegian will continue to operate the way it has for the past 105 years despite USAB's pres sure, said Collegian Editor-in-Chief Isabel Molina. USAB is trying to bribe the Collegian into giving them more positive coverage, Molina said, adding that the Collegian is not a public relations firm for student organi zations. Less advertising just makes newspapers smaller and means less coverage for everyone, said Wen dy L. Frank, Collegian business manager. Wilson's column has hardly affected advertising until now, she said. Only three businesses have pulled their ads so far because of the column. Chris Bertz Bea ve IFC votes for withdrawal of Collegian advertising By DAWN M. KOPECKI Collegian Staff Writer The Interfraternity Council elected the following officers last night: ■ President: Joe Jorczak. ■ Administrative Vice President: Sean Ness. ■ Treasurer: Mark McSorley. Also last night, the Interfrater nity Council overwhelmingly voted to pull all IFC-sponsored advertis ing from The Daily Collegian for a three-week period beginning Feb. 24. President-elect Jorczak strongly supported the resolution saying IFC is "trying to find an avenue where they can express their dissatisfac tion with Collegian coverage." Panhellenic President Becky Friese refused to comment because the proposal is not a formal Panhel resolution yet. Several fraternity presidents vehemently supported the resolu tion. Some presidents even pro posed the immediate pulling of ads. "If we're going to make a point, let's not screw around," said Vin ton Smith, president of Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity, 322 Fraternity Row. Current President Tim Finn said the resolution is not meant to financially devastate the Collegian, but to express the IFC's discontent with the newspaper's past report ing and to improve future cover age. Finn's reasons for pulling ads include: irresponsible printing, one sided coverage for example, the articles on the removal of one ****************************** FREE FILM for Black History Month SCHOOL DAZE * Starring Spike Lee, Larry Fishbt,ne * Tuesday, February 11 * 112 Kern 8 pr.) **********************l******* > X 0103 M The Daily Collegian Tuesday, Feb. 11, 1992- University ambulance, inadequate reporting on student organizations like Panhellenic and the Graduates Student Association, slanting or changing stories, misquoting sources and lack of sensitivity toward cul tural diversity. "It's to get our point across that we're not happy," Finn said. Finn said he feels the resolution has already taken effect, but Collegian Editor-in-Chief Isabel Molina 'and Business Manager Wendy Frank said the resolution will damage the Penn State community more than it will hurt the Collegian. "They are really doing a disser vice to themselves and the Penn State community," Molina said. Frank said the loss of revenue may lessen the number of available news pages, thus reducing coverage. Editors will have to be more selective about what events get covered if the paper size is reduced, Molina said. With IFC ads comprising about 5 percent total revenue, Frank said the financial damage will be mini mal. "One of those weeks we don't even publish," Frank added, referring to Spring Break. The resolution states: "Due to the Collegian's lack of honest and responsible journalism, the interfraternity Council would like to support the recent USAB (Uni versity Student Advisory Board) resolution by banning all IFC funds for Collegian ads from Feb. 24, 1992 until March 15, 1992."
