USG is also planning to work with offi cials in the Ritenour Building to expand the health services already offered at Uni versity Park The address also touched on the dissat isfaction of many students with the uni versity's advising system. In the 1998-1999 school year, 1,000 stu dents across the Commonwealth Cam puses were asked about their experiences with academic advising. Less than 70 per cent of those polled said they were com pletely satisfied. • Despite the low attendance, USG Sen ate President Mike Fazio said simply hav ing the address was a big step. "It's the first year we've done this," he said. "The fact that we had it and were able to address student issues is great." State Representative Lynn Herman said he also was impressed with the speech. "Both did an outstanding job in present ing what is foremost on minds of students university-wide," he said. Special North Korean envoy begins four-day visit to South By Paul Shin ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER SEOUL, South Korea A special envoy of North Korean leader Kim Jong II began a four-day visit to South Korea yesterday, say ing he hoped his. visit would further thaw relations on the world's last Cold War fron tier. Kim Yong Sun brought a truckload of mushrooms for South Korean government, business and media officials as a gift from North Korean leader Kim Jong 11. The mushrooms were to celebrate Chusok, or Korean thanksgiving day, today. "At last, our people took a vigorous step toward reconciliation and unification. We should not stop even for a moment, to say nothing of turning back," Kim Yong Sun said at a dinner hosted by South Korea's Unification Minister Park Jae-kyu. Kim Yong Sun, heading a delegation of eight, flew to Seoul directly from the North's capital, Pyongyang, and was met at the air port by Vice Unification Minister Yang Young-shik Kim Yong Sun's visit further warms ties between the two Korean states after the unprecedented summit of their leaders in June.

"Their view of the world is much more global, back then (in the '6os) we had to overcome underlying assump tions about American patrio tism." Like the early activism David son was involved in at Penn State, the STAR protest last semester against the use of sweatshop labor to make prod ucts used and sold by the univer sity drew a relatively small num ber of activists, with only about 40 students camping out in front of Old Main. The efforts of the protesters paid off however, at least in part when the university formed a shared-governance committee, in which students are consid ered voting members. The com mittee is discussing joining the Worker Rights Consortium, an anti-sweatshop organization, and is expected to reach a deci sion late this month. Humble beginnings and some times frustrating results are shared characteristics of the protests of the '6os and '7os and the more recent student protests. Davidson was the first consci entious objector to being a mem- importance to Kim Yong Sun's visit. He heads the semiofficial Asia-Pacific Peace Committee, which handles policy with South Korea and other countries with no formal ties with the communist country. A close adviser to Kim Jong 11, Kun Yong Sun was the only North Korean official who sat in on the June summit. Kim Yong Sun was expected to pay a courtesy call on President Kim Dae-jung and visit Cheju, a southern resort island, and Kyongju, an ancient capital, according to Seoul officials. A major topic of his talks is expected to be the promised visit to South Korea of the North Korean leader. Kim Jong Il has said he is obligated to visit Seoul in what would be another mile stone in relations between the Koreas, divided since 1945 into the Communist North and democratic south. The Koreas never signed a peace treaty to end the 1950-53 Korean War, and they share the world's most heavily armed bor der, with nearly 2 million troops deployed on both sides. The North Korean delegation included a four-star army general and member of the North's powerful National Defense Com mission, a party organization headed by Kim Jong 11.

According to Davidson, all men entering the university at the time were required to enlist in ROTC, and the war in Vietnam stoked the fires of student radi ealism and protest on the Penn State campus like no other issue had "The first demonstration I was involved in was organized by SENSE in reaction to the Cuban Missile Crisis. There were about 10 of us there and we had mem bers of ROTC throwing rocks at us. We were met with universal hostility," Davidson said. A few years later, when the Vietnam War had taken a place in the forefront of American pub lic discourse, the situation changed drastically. "Five years later we had 3,000 to 10,000 peo ple protesting (against the war)," Davidson said. Elwood Williams Jr., retired State College Police chief, remembered the marches and protests that raged across cam pus during the '6os and '7os.

The system stores computerized patient records in a relational database format located within the walls of Ritenour. "We have a lot more control in the build ing. The data security and data management is much easier done in a system closely guarded and managed," :Andstrom said. "Security Is our number one priority. We can't put student information into a comput er that's not rock solid secure." HealthMatics should prove to be more flexible, and provide better reporting and better scanning to clinicians. The previous product used at UHS was at the end of its life span, Lindstrom said. A new voice response system for the pharmacy went live yesterday, enabling stu dents to refill their prescriptions over the phone. A laboratory system that will fill lab requests has also been available to clini cians for the past two weeks, Hazel said Funds for the project have been being gathered for the past few years. They will continue to accumulate for several years to come. :J1010W:IfIN14-11:111:J - F 1 11-4 The Student Book Store 4.0 1 611PAIdYIAN $lOO SBS gift certificate given away weekly.

Penn State student protesters were successful in altering gov ernment plans, causing a fore closure on Penn State's military defense research. A protest march was held on April 15, 1970, in response to the Ordnance Lab's experimenta tion with torpedo guidance sys tems. Students and faculty marched from Old Main to the Ordnance Research Lab with a model of a missile to provide a tangible reminder of their cause. Though demands were not limit ed to, but included, severing uni versity ties to the U.S. military, specifically ROTC and ORL, the protestor's chief demand was to end torpedo research. Through picketing, marching, and long sit-ins, Penn State stu dents helped to put an end to tor pedo guidance research at Penn State. While torpedo guidance research is a thing of the past for Penn State protesters, one issue of the 1960 s activism that is a How to Play: carryover for protesters of the 21st century is the civil rights movement, O'Connor said. Though Penn State lacked diversity even during the mid `6os, Davidson said, the civil rights movement was central for many student activists. David son and some of his friends raised money to support the leg endary "Freedom Riders" who rode through the Deep South in an attempt to integrate trans portation there. The Freedom Rides have long since ended, but Penn State's Black Caucus is now facing new challenges. The group organized a march last spring in response to the non-guilty verdict of New York City Police Department officers who shot and killed unarmed West African immi grant Amadou Diallo, is an example of the new generation of civil rights activism, O'Connor said And even though the nature of the protests has changed over the past forty years, the goal to educate people and to rekindle activism in students has not. "Everyone, regardless of who they are, knows there are funda mental problems ... and people can't ignore them, whether they're active or not," Auster muhie said Collegian staff writer Lily Henning con tributed to this report. "It's going to have an impact on our ongo ing expenses, but eventually it will save us money," Lindstrom said. During the installation of the new system, students can expect some minor inconve niences. The UHS staff has taken every precaution to assure that patient services and clinical needs will not be disrupted. "We hope, in the long run, to improve sys tems throughout the house, otherwise we wouldn't be doing it," Moyer said. "In the short term, it could result in students being inconvenienced." Regardless of the minor glitches in the system, students requiring urgent care are being seen by clinicians. "We don't want students to be deterred from coming in who need urgent care they will get their care," Moyer said. "Stu dents needing routine care, for a short time, may be inconvenienced." Faculty at UHS recognize the potential for problems and simply ask that students be patient until all the bumps can be smoothed out. "It was kind of like the Y2K problem, no one really knew what would happen until it happened," Moyer said M Dll THEDAILY ! COLLEGIAN 237-7616 • James Building, Dept p 330 E. College Ave. 123 S.

Council initiates recycling bins, debates priority parking spaces From COUNCIL, Page 2. being of the State College community. ' As the bins are an attempt to encour age community concern about the envi ronment among visitors, council also may soon act out of its concern for downtown' employees who remain frustrated with' ,_ the parking shortage. Borough Manager Peter Marshall pre='; sented a memorandum about the parking situation. • Proposed changes include giving prior, ity for the purchase of monthly parking.: permits to any individuals who are - employed full-time in the State College downtown area. Other changes include allotting a cer tain number of guaranteed parking spaces, addressing the 'meter feeding' problem and re-energizing the park-andl ride program. While organizing the draft to change parking regulations, Marshall said the focus was to "buck-up the park-and-ride :4 that has been almost dormant." • Marshall also said another one of his' .+ main goals in the alterations toward park)' ing includes making the park-and-ride. program more attractive so more people use it. ) ; He also wants to cut down on State Col-, lege congestion and provide more parking'" spaces for employees of the downtown area 1.2 However, other council members ques-,.., tioned the plan. Because the guaranteed parking per mits would go first to full-time employees.': , students would be low on the list to obtain'' a permit. Council member Catherine Dauler that to apply for guaranteed parking, a person would have to pay $2O to have his , , name on a list. However, if a spot for parking was openi and the businessperson did not want th&r* parking space at that particular time, he ) could come back for it anytime and still bet.; high on the proposed waiting list for a,, spot. A student would pay the $2O charge as " well. However, if the student did not want.:' the spot at that time, the student would not only lose their spot on the guaranteed parking list, but they would also lose their" $2O. In a town where students are a signal cant portion of the population. Daniel - , called attention to the plan and said it would be "cumbersome for students to he a part of (this) system." The council decided on revising and - - altering the parking changes to include them in a review for a proposed policy for transportation. This policy would focus on transporta lion ethic. The transportation policy discussed a philosophy toward transportation and parking and will be reconstituted and pri oritized with specifics during the next teN\, , meetings. • , College Win Home ❑ Pittsburgh ❑ Tennessee Q UCLA ❑ Wisconsin lj Notre Dame ❑ Missouri o Kentucky ❑ lowa LI Illinois ❑ Alabama • Colorado ❑ Stanford ID Arizona State ❑ West Virginia Li Florida State Pro la Li ta o Green Bay Cleveland St. Louis Oakland Win Tie J J ❑ J ❑ J ❑ J • J ❑ J • J :1 _II 1 _li 3 1 r I
