Altopno Schools Letter To the Editor Ms. Cynthia Helmel The Village Voice 842 Broadway New York, New York 10003 Dear Mi. Helmel, I have Just read an account of your recent "research on Pennsylvania" In an article that was forwarded to me from the Altoona Mirror.

To be (air, I surely can't go after you half-cocked since did not read the original article In the Village Voice. And probably, being of pea-brained, rat-faced extraction, I wouldn't have understood the article In the fancy big city newspaper. Golly-gee, Ms. Helmel, you sure did take some big pot-shots at us folks. Why It seems like only yesterday that Sonny, Willie, Chuck, my brothers and I spent summer days playing home-run derby at' the Twelfth Street playground, dreaming major-league dreams.

And not too long ago, Carl and 1 worked furiously with my Dad to get our high falutln' cloud chamber ready for the science fair. And the Eagle Scout awards and the fourth of July and the family and on and on. Wow, Ms. Helmel, all that there stuff did was to give direction and foundation to generations of folks to enter the world attempting to copy their parents in raising their kids In the same love-filled environments. Where did we go wrong, Ms.

Helmel? Do you think it was generations of In-breeding, or perhaps the papermill smoke that made us turn out so funny. Well, whatever it Is, Ms. Heimel, you have inspired me to greater heights. Like you, I hope to make It to the Big Apple where there are no pea-brains, or rat-faces, and where you can walk into a store or restaurant and hear a friendly voice say "What's yours?" Ms. Helmel, what's my what? Sincerely, Terry L.Dinger, Ph.D.

Dean F.TID4 Nirf DINNER March 28 SEAFOOD BUFFET Steamship Round LODGE CLOSED Senate Approves State Flood Control Projects POLICE REPORT WASHINGTON (UPI) Flood control projects on the Susquehanna River at Harrisburg, Wilkes-Barre Lock Haven were among more than IRQ water projects approved Wednesday by the U.S. Senate. Also approved were projects calling for correction of a beach erosion problem at Presque Isle in Erie County and replacement of three locks. and dams on the OhloMonongahela River system. The Hood control projects at Harrisburg, Wilkes-Barre and Lock Haven will cost $132.9 million.

$234.7 million and $79.2 million, respectively. During Hurricane Agnes in 1972, the Wilkes-Barre area suffered $730 million in damages, the Harrisburg area $55 million. Lock Haven has been flooded 20 times in the last 130 years. The Presque Isle beach erosion project will cost $28.1 million and involves the construction of a system of breakwaters offshore along the lakeward length of the peninsula. The beaches of this famous and heavily used vacation area have annually been destroyed by winter storms and have had to be replenished at considerable cost.

Sen. Arlen Specter. who has been pushing for the improvements for several years, called the locks at Gallipoiis, Ohio, in the Ohio River the "worst Inland navigation problem on the nation." Convert To Coal Altoona Area School District will receive the' maximum grant of $100,000 from the United States Department of Energy's Institutional Conservation Program to help pay for a coal conversion project, according to President Pro Tempore Robert C.Jubelirer (R-30). Altoona Area School district officials will use the grant toward a $1 million energy conservation project. which involves changes in the central heating plant building.

Two of three boilers in the building will be converted from oil to coal. The central heating plant building provides heat for the Alkfona High School, Roosevelt Junior High, the Altoona Library, Penn-Lincoln Elementary School, and the Altoona Vo-tech. "The school district is committed to paying for the remainder of the program," Sen. Jubelirer said. "This is a fine example of tax dollars being put toward a worthwhile project.

Within year period, the school district will realize a savings and they will break even on their investment." The Institutional Conservation Program is a two-stage federal cost sharing energy conservation grant program which provides for technical assistance studies and 50 percent of the cost for the acquisition and installation of energy conservation measures for schools and hospitals.

"Approximately 50 percent of the traffic moving through the Gallipoiis locks is coal and coke for steel production." Specter said. "Reduction in transportation costs will help make American coal and steel more competitive on world markets and help save American jobs in these depressed industries." The other two, Locks and Dams 7 and 8 on the Monongahela River, will cost $163.1 million to replace. These undersized locks, far smaller than those up and downriver. create bottlenecks and costly traffic delays. Completed 61 years ago.

they are literally crumbling with decay. As with Gallipoiis. their replacement will reduce transportation costs and save jobs in the coal and steel in- dustgles. Before these projects can be started, Congress must pass funding bills. Twenty-five percent of the overall costs of the flood control projects and 35 percent of the Presque Isle project must be borne by the state and local governments.

The cost of the lock and dam replacements will be split 50-50 between the federal government and the Inland Waterway Trust Fund. Grand Jury Decides Fate Of WVA Football Players MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (UPI) For a third time, a Monongalia County grand jury is going behind closed 'doors today to consider felonious assault charges against three West Virginia University football players in a nightclub brawl. Prosecutor Susan Tucker said jurors considered evidence against the trio nearly five hours Tuesday without ruling on the case. The grand jury first met Jan.

9 to weigh the case against junior running back John Holifield of Romulus, freshman wide receiver Keith Winn of Dayton. Ohio, and freshman redshirt tailback Craig Taylor of Linden; N.J. 'All three charged following a December brawl at Eric's Lounge, a bar in the city. The players, free on bond since their arrest, remain on suspension from the WVU football team, now in the first week of spring drills. Five witnesses testified Wednesday.

Another WVU football player not implicated in the fracas, Paolo Arnelle, a freshman redshirt tight end of appeared ready to testify but did not. Misdemeanor assault charges against another player, sophomore defensive back Andrew Jones of Fort Lauderdale, and a former player, Anthony Daniels of Cleveland, recently were dropped on grounds of insufficient But Jones was arrested Tuesday for allegedly cashing a forged check last month. Daniels is. awaiting action on an unrelated battery charge in Wood County. The grand jury heard evidence in the three felony cases in January but asked to be recalled at a later date when additional evidence could be presented.

Holifield. 21, WVU's leading pass receiver and secondleading rusher last season, testified during the Jan. 9 session, as did Winn, 19, and John Rose, 21, of Uniontown, a doorman at Eric's. Rose still faces a misdemeanor assault and battery charge filed against him by Taylor. Morgantown Police Detective Ralph Boyce said several weeks ago that authorities had established Senate Shaky On Contra Aid WASHINGTON (UPI) Republicans in the Senate saw their hopes dwindling for easy passage of a $100 million aid package for the Nlcaraguan rebel Contras, bogged down in a dispute between Democratic leaders and the administration.

The Senate planned a final vote today on President Reagan's aid request, but it appeared Republican leader Robert Dole's early confidence that the request would attract 70 or 80 votes had evaporated. "There's still a glimmer of hope we might be able to forge something together," Dole. said Wednesday. But Sen. Richard Lugar, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, was not as encouraging.

"1 think It's possible to pass it. It is to be close." he said. "I think we have 51 votes, but some amendments could come in and we might lose." The bill contains the basic compromises Reagan offered last week to the House, which defeated the measure by 12 votes. It calls for the immediate release of $25 million in aid, with the remainder held up for 90 days pending efforts for a regional peace settlement. If the regional negotiations fail, Reagan could release the remaining $75 million.

One major stumbling block is a key Democratic amendment proposed by Sen. Jim Sasser, D-Tenn. It calls for direct talks between Washington and the Marxist Sandinista government and for a second vote in 90 days before releasing the remaining $75 million in aid. Adm. John Poindexter, Reagan's national security affairs adviser, told Senate Democratic leader Robert Byrd of West Virginia the White House was opposed to the idea of a second vote.

"Mr. Poindexter said that is not negotiable; he put his foot down," Byrd said. Dole said the Republicans would agree to that only if the Sandinistas negotiate with the Contras. who are trying to overthrow them something Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has rejected. "The Sandinistas say that will not occur," Sasser said.

"I suspect the White House feels its hand has been strengthened by the rumors of the Sandinista invasion of Honduras." Lugar said the administration is committed to the concept of peace talks but does not want language forcing negotiations with the San- dinistas as a condition of securing the aid. "I think Ortega gave us a boost," Dole said. "I hope they don't pull out while we're debating this." probable cause in tne cases against Holifield, Winn and Taylor but there was little evidence for the grand jury to consider.
