Her reputation and work for the voters in central Pennsylvania speaks for itself, she said, and she asked the audience to remember her accomplishments as state representative when the general elections roll around. "It's been a good journey so far, and we have made a real difference," Rudy said. "Tonight I ask you to follow me on a new journey one that is going to take us to Washington. And Washington will never be the same again." Rudy also said she recognizes the fact that voters have grown increasingly disappointed with Washing ton. "I have been traveling this district, and I can tell there is a sense of dread towards the insider politi cians who have become part of the Washington elite," she said. "They don't understand because they're not one of us but I am." Rudy will be running a very different campaign for Congress than she did for the state representative elections, said Robert O'Connor, associate professor of political science. "The district size makes the campaign entirely dif ferent. Representative Rudy will be able to personally meet the voters," he said. This congressional district is the largest district east of the Mississippi River, O'Connor said, and Rudy could not possibly do the same type of campaigning for Congress that she did in the state representative elections. Rudy said she recognizes the fact that the district is larger than most, but does not see that fact as an obstacle that will hinder her campaign. She added that she plans to go out and meet the peo ple throughout the district between now and the gen- Joel Continued from Page 1. ing in piano bars in the early '7os, hit his creative and commercial peak in the 'Bos as a pop singer and songwriter.

And while Rudy is running uncontested for the Democratic Party's nomination, O'Connor said the advantages of being the only Democratic candidate outweigh the disadvantages. For starters, Rudy will not have to suffer the wounds of a primary election, unlike the Republican candidates, he said. And he added Rudy may be able to pick up votes from dissatisfied Republican voters whose candidate did not win the nomination. And Rudy faces other advantages, O'Connor said. "She hasn't had to spend a large amount of money in the primary," he said, "and she hasn't had opponents refer to her in a less than complimentary manner." But the fact that Rudy is running uncontested does have one major disadvantage, O'Connor said. Because she has no competition in the primaries, Rudy may receive less free media than the Republi cans racing in the primaries, he said. Roger Gordon, campaign manager for Peterson said Rudy may face another problem because the district traditionally votes Republican. Morris Massel, campaign manager for Conway, agreed and said Clinger's past performance is a testa ment to the strength the Republican Party has in the sth District. "We have the advantage because people are com fortable with a Republican candidate," he said. And while Rudy is concentrating on strengthening the Democratic party's chances of winning the seat, Republican candidates are busy battling it out for the upcoming primary. Connie Lucas, campaign manager for Gordeuk, said they are focusing all energy on the next primary. "We'll think about the general election on April 24," she said. "For now, first things first."

Spanier, COG discuss growth By JENNIFER FABRY and LISA HAARLANDER Collegian Staff Writers Traffic was not as congested, and it used to be easier to get around. At least that is what University President Graham Spanier said he noticed when he returned to the area after 13 years. Spanier discussed increased traf fic and the University's growth at a Centre Region Council of Govern ments meeting last night. "Penn State has become a very popular university especially at our University Park Campus," he said. "We feel we're bursting at the seams." The University enrolled the sec ond largest freshman class ever last Fall Semester. In addition, the University has received more applications this year than it did at the same time last year. To accommodate everyone who wants to attend, Spanier said the University plans to have a modest increase in enrollment. At Univer- FDA holds back pain -free By LAURAN NEERGAARD Associated Press Writer GAITHERSBURG, Md. Diabetics pleaded with the government yesterday to approve the first pain free way to measure their blood sugar, but a panel of experts said there was no proof the machine works well enough to keep their disease at bay. "I will apologize to every diabetes patient ... in this room that I cannot be more enthusiastic," said panel chairman Dr. Arthur Karmen of Albert Einstein Col lege of Medicine. "But hopefully what you want to get is the right answer" from a diabetes test. The Food and Drug Administration advisory com mittee decided Biocontrol Technology Inc. needed to study its Diasensor again but quickly to prove it could be used safely. So far, its only evidence showed that Diasensor could test perhaps one of every four insulin-dependent patients. BILO2 FOODS Fri.

If enrollment did increase by the maximum of 5 percent, it would mean 42,000 students at the cam pus, Spanier said. "You can't really ever draw a line and say we can't grow any more," he said. "But rapid growth really does have an effect on the One concern council members voiced last night was that more stu dents would cause more congestion and result in more student housing in the areas surrounding the Uni versity. To decrease the number of stu dents who will live in town, the University will construct new housing on campus for the first time in more than 20 years. But at the Commonwealth Cam puses, there will be a much greater increase in enrollment especial ly in the number of juniors and seniors at the campuses. One rea son is that at least two campuses will become four-year colleges and Biocontrol argued that those patients deserved to use the machine, the first non-invasive blood-sugar test, while scientists figure out how to improve it. Angry diabetics agreed.

In addition to more students, the University community will increase in other ways. Spanier said the University's Research Park may quadruple in the upcoming years, adding to the number of adults and families in the area. "I think it will be gradual with a few small companies coming in each year," he said. "I think that's going to be a bigger part of (our growth) than 18- to 21-year-old stu dents." Another increase may come from a retirement community in State College for University alumni and other people involved with the University. A private developer, not the University, would pay for the community, which should be constructed sometime near the end of the decade. "We will allow ourselves to grow a little bit," Spanier said. "But it will be a moderate growth. We are sensitive to the community's needs." diabetes test "I can't tell you how frustrating it is to know this device exists but is just out of reach of Bonnie."
