Reader thinks police
owe ABC an explanation
Dear editor,
I want to express my support
for the request by the ABC for an
explanation/apology from
Campus Security for the use of
an "attack" dog for crowd control
at the September Bth dance.
Given the facts presented in your
last week's article, it seems to me
that the officer used very poor
judgment in - bringing his
.
personal dog to the scene.
Whether the officer intended it
or not, I can quite understand how
his excessive reaction could be
reasonably construed as racist. I
Reader says Wintergreen's
arguments had false ring
Dear editor,
Al Vogan's attempt at
justifying the higher prices and
reduced hours at the Wintergreen
Cafe-this-year .was. uusuccessful.,
The article which.appeared in The
Collegian several weeks ago
contains several contradictions on
Vogna's part, leading me to
question his honesty in the
matter.
Vogan's answer to the higher
price question was quoted as "...It
was a policy change from an
upper level in the university
administration..." This statement
could easily make one believe
that there is nothing that anyone
can do to lower prices. Yet,
earlier in the same article Vogan
is quoted as saying "...Several
steps have been taken to lower
prices..." I am inclined to believe
that even though Vogan has put
all the blame on officials at
University Park, Behrend has a
much greater influence over
prices than it is willing to admit.
Vogan is also quoted as saying
"...Even if the Cafe could
compete with commercial
outlets, it would be unethical
because Penn State is a non
profit organization and doesn't
have to worry about costs like
taxes and building upkeep." He
went on to describe the current
battle between the City of Erie
and Erie's two largest hospitals.
The problem with this
statement is that the City of Erie
challenged Hamot's and Saint
Vincent's non-profit and therefore
tax-exempt status not because the
two hospitals were competing
with other profit-oriented
organizations, but rather because
the two hospitals' prices were set
at a point which created large
profits for the two hospitals. •

do not condemn the officer as a
racist, but I do condemn his
judgment in this case. I hope the
officer will receive a reprimand
for his action and that Campus
Security will state publicly that
they disapprove of the use of
"attack" dogs for such minor
disturbances. Indeed, short of a
full-blown riot or civil war, I see
no justification for using dogs in
this way.

If the Wintergreen Cafe is
worried about its non-profit/tax
exempt status then it should
lower its prices, not raise them.,
It vxopld not for
Behrend to lbwee the prices at.

unethical for them to keep their
prices high and make a profit
when they are under a non
profit/tax exempt status. This
entire situation is an example of
how Penn-State Behrend is
becoming money-oriented
school, even though it proudly
boasts of being a student-oriented
school.
