Police Re Candles set off fire alarm in dorm Resident charged for tampering with smoke detector by Carol Mandera Collegian News Writer It was lights out Tuesday night, March 20, when electrical power to the campus was lost because of fire. According to a report issued by Randy Hoffman, manager of Penn Statc-Bchrcnd's Department of Police and Safety, power to the campus was lost at about 9:43 pm. Pennsylvania Electric Company crews and Brooksidc Fire Department responded and extinguished an electrical fire located in a manhole near the Apartments. Power was restored to most of the campus within four hours. Remaining outages were corrected by 6 am, March 21 (sec related article on page 1). Campus police investigated a fire on the first floor of Perry Steinem... (continued from page 1) The only solution to this problem, she felt, is for children to be raised as much by men as by women. Culture was the fourth point Steinem cited. She said that religion has often been used as a way to make politics sacred. The fifth and final point for a true democracy is participation. At present time only about 50 percent of the general American public votes. Conversely, 90 percent of the fundamentalists (the Moral Majority) turn out to vote. This is hurting the movement Steinem said. "Sometimes I think the Moral Majority are the people our European ancestors came here to escape,” said Steinem. On the subject of politics, Steinem said that Bush and Delta Chi becomes a chapter The Behrend colony of Delta Chi recently held a banquet to celebrate their acceptance as a chapter in the international organization. The banquet was attended by over 125 people, including three international officers of Delta Chi, members of the faculty, and brothers and alumni of Delta Chi. Delta Chi was founded in August of 1989 and was being considered for chapter status seven months later. Delta Chi's service program included a bowl-a-thon benefiting a child in need of surgery and a fund raiser for cerebral palsy. The fraternity also emphasizes academics and participates in campus intramural programs. The Collegian Wednesday, March 28,1990 ort: Hall. Hoffman's report indicates that officers responded to a fire alarm at about 9:44 pm, March 21, and detected a strong smoke odor. Their investigation revealed that a candle, being burnt by a resident, had accidently lipped and ignited papers. The resident had successfully extinguished the minor fire before officers arrived. Residents of the room were referred to the Student Disciplinary Board for housing rule violations after officers discovered that the room's smoke detector had been dismantled prior to the incident. Police arc investigating a hit and run accident reported by a commuter student on March 22. The student reported light damage to his vehicle while it was parked in "C" Lot. According to Sanders, there Reagan have not been a help to the women's movement. In fact, they have tried to turn the clock back. However, she said women arc making progress. "Change seems to progress in a spiral...it can feel like we arc not moving anyplace but in fact we arc going through similar circumstances on ever changing territory, so when we look back, we see how far we've come," said Steinem. For example, she said the terms battered women, sexual harassment, and displaced homemaker didn't exist 15 years ago. In her final remarks, Steinem said, "All of us are on the edge of history. When we look where we have come from we know that there will not be ever a turning back." A question and answer period followed the speech.

A correction to last week's report: the DUI/Alcohol Awareness Program was sponsored by the Zcta Beta Tau fraternity and not Residential Life. In response to a question about whether women should be in active combat in the military, Steinem said she thinks it is a great idea. "I don't think men's lives are worth less than women's lives,” she said. "I think the right wing just doesn't want us to learn to use guns." Another question was asked about whether Bush and Reagan have helped the movement. "Bush and Reagan have helped the movement by showing what the problem is," Steinem said. When asked to give advice to the young girls in the United States today, Steinem said, "Dream the biggest dream...let that guide you...don't censor yourself."
