Dismissed CCSG
By MEGAN DONLEY
and JENNIFER STRAWSER
Collegian Staff Writers
Not even a week after being
fired by the Council of Common
wealth Student Governments Coor
dinator Matthew Plocki and Vice
Coordinator J. Benjamin Faulds,
Greg Lattanzi got his job back at
the council meeting last weekend.
Lattanzi was fired from his posi
tion as the Central Region Regional
director last Monday due to com
plaints from members of his region
and problems with some members
of central staff, Faulds said.
"Friction to an extent is good. It
keeps people on their toes and
helps people to work together,"
Faulds said. "But it was to the point
where it brought resentment. I'm
going to fire anyone who does
that."
Representatives of the campuses
in the Central Region Penn State
Harrisburg, the Altoona Campus,
the Mont Alto Campus and the
York Campus were given per
mission to vote on whether to
retain Lattanzi as regional director,
Plocki said.
"We voted by secret ballot, and
there was a discrepancy in the vote
based on how we voted and how the
count was done," said Thane Fake,
York Campus Student Government
Association president.

The vote totals Faulds read did
not coincide with how the members
said they voted. Although Faulds
said four voted against reinstating
Lattanzi and three voted in favor of
reinstating him, voting members
said that four members voted to
bring Lattanzi back. Because of the
disagreement, another vote, by
secret ballot, was taken, and Lat
tanzi was reinstated.
The issue was brought to all of
council by a representative of the
York Campus, Del Rae Pelath, and
discussed. Lattanzi, Plocki and
Faulds were all permitted to dis
cuss their positions and answer
questions.
"We left the decision up to that
region, and they feel it's best,"
Plocki said. "Although, I want to
point out the votes changed over
the night and Harrisburg only got
one vote. So I don't feel it was a
fair representation."
Lattanzi said he never received
reasons for his firing and deserved
to know that information and the
complaints about his job perfor
mance. Plocki said the complaints
and from whom they came were to
be kept confidential.
"To say there were concerns is
not to give reasons. This constitu
tion says they must give reasons,"
Lattanzi said. "(Plocki) says he's
not going to reveal it, and I say he's
not doing his job as coordinator."

Local bands
Charities will receive money raised at Cafe 210 West tonight, tomorrow
By ANNE BOYD
Collegian Ms Writer
The warmth of a State College bar vs. a cold
outside blanketed by the first flakes of winter.
When patrons of Cafe 210 West, 210 W. Col
lege Ave., choose the warm location over the
latter tonight and tomorrow, they will be help
ing those people who can only choose the cold.
Cafe 210 West is hosting two benefit concerts
in coordination with Collegians Helping Aid
Rescue Missions (CHARM) and a slew of State
College's favorite bands to raise money during
Homelessness Awareness Week.
Starting at 6:30 both nights, the cover charge
is $2 before 9 p.m. and $3 after, with half of the
proceeds going to the Tri-county and Clearfield
Habitats for Humanity and the other half to the
State College and Bellefonte food banks.
"We want to see as many people turn out as
possible," said Paige Shee (senior-environmen
tal resource management), co-executive direc
tor 6f CHARM.
Shee said the biggest challenge of Homeless
ness Awareness Week is helping people over
come their stereotypes about homeless people.
"Just like everyone else, they have their own
history and their own stories," she said, point
ing out that homelessness has a wide range of
causes from mental retardation to a parent sud
denly leaving the family.
CHARM, which involves Habitat for Humani
ty, Kidcare and community outreach programs,
coordinated events around town and campus all
this week as part of the national Homelessness
Awareness Week. Eco-Action, Amnesty Interna
tional and Circle-K are co-sponsors of these
events.

"To be able to help while you're doing something you love is great. It's
a real no-brainer."
"Not only is it going to be a benefit, but all the
local bands will get a chance to check each
other out," said John Myers, manager of the
Dirges.
The Dirges play tomorrow night along with
Red Eye Butter, Badwrench, Stickmen, Funken
steth, Sideshow Bob and Lovefry.
And although local bands have busy sched
ules, they are willing to perform for a good
cause.
"To be able to help while you're doing some
thing you love is great. It's a real no-brainer,"
said Dana Hawk, Man Alive's drummer.
Man Alive plays tonight with Ten Penny,
Dogtown Road, Wang Dang Doodle, The Blue
Meanies, A.M. Prophecy and The Pinch.
"There's a wide variety of bands in this town,
so you never get bored at one of these shows,"
Hawk said.
A good turnout is expected by those involved
even though the concerts are on weeknights.
Every band playing could probably fill the
room, which should make the benefit a success,
Myers said.
"It's a gathering of the musical community
and it should be a good time," he said.

"A few council members entered the meet

The council did vote on the other three ,
amendment proposals, all of which passe&

The council also discussed setting aside
time in the future to go over the constitution
to avoid any further discrepancies between
different versions that may not have been
updated.
it's a good time," said Bump guitarist and
singer of Sidewhow Bob and Funkenstein.
Craig McSparran, (senior-secondary educa
tion), director of Habitat for Humanity, said
CHARM is committed to educating University
students about homelessness and giving them
concrete ways to help, such as by attending
benefit concerts.
And then at 9 p.m. on Wednesday at Players
Sports Bar, 112 W. College Ave., a third benefit
concert will take place.
Hippnocat, The Click and Steel City will play
with a $3 cover charge. All money will go to the
local shelters at the Women's Resource Center,
Stormbreak, Stepping Stones, Center House and
Strawberry Fields.
Denny Strauser, house sound man at Cafe 210
West, put together the benefit concerts there.
He said the main goal is to put food on the table
and a roof over the head of the homeless.
"You can't get any more basic than that," he
said.
Strauser said that it wasn't difficult to find
bands willing to donate their time.
"I think (local musicians) like to get out and
play with some of the other bands," he said,
adding that a little bit of competition is good for
the local music scene.
