3 -PRESS PHOTO BY JOHN BOLAS. NEW IN WHO'S ZOO -The newest members of the Children's Zoo at Binghamton's Ross Park will be these two 5-month-old baby bobcats. Lee J. Loomis of Endicott, chairman of Southern Tier Zoological Society, who will give them to zoo in spring, got them from Sonora Desert Museum of Tucson, Ariz. The bobcats are said to be "exceedingly tame." Design of Chapel Fund-Drive Key The people who would like to see a private interfaith chapel and social center built on the campus of State University at Binghamton are caught up in a dilemma.

On one hand, nothing would be better from a fund-raising standpoint to move a picturesque old county church to the campus, or to build a replica of one. On the other hand, SUAB students who would be chief users of the building would like the proposed center to be modern in design, if not, as one student put it, part of Harpur's existing shoe box architecture." A LARGE committee of directors of Harpur Interfaith Center, will try to come up with a specific proposal for the proposed chapel and center building by 2:30 p. m. Dec. 2, when the full board will meet again.

Dr. Charles N. Aswad, Binghamton physician, was pointed to head the new committee on architecture, construction and public relations" yesterday afternoon by Frank A. Nemia, Binghamton lawyer and secretary and counsel to the board. Mr.

Nemia, presiding over the board meeting in the absence of Broome County Executive Edwin L. Crawford, board president, said the organization has spent five years discussing what is going to be inside the building." First, he said, should come decisions on what kind of building is wanted and how to raise money for it. 'The Rev. Stephen Valenta, Reman Catholic chaplain on the campus, said the Newman Club would like to know what Interfaith is going to do within the next two years. He said the club would planto enlarge its building at 400 Murray Hill Road if there is to be no Interfaith Center.

GLENN G. BARTLE, president emeritus of the university and chairman of a steering committee that has been heading the fund-raising effort since last spring, reported that pledges so far total less than $30,000, and have been disappointing. An. old traditional church building, whether moved to campus or created there in the form of a copy, would be an incentive for gifts from older residents of the area, Mr. Bartle said.

But he acknowledged that the idea had to be dropped in favor of a building whose design would please students. Rabbi Elihu Schagrin, spiritual leader of Temple Concurd, urged fellow members of the new committee to consider building materials and methods, recommended by architects outside the Triple Cities area, that offer major cost savings, such as modular structures. Informing Not Our Job, Drug Control Unit Says It is not the job of consultants for the six-county narcotics control center in Binghamton to run to police with information about drug and narcotic users, Edwin Holt, community narcotic education representative from Syracuse, said. "If youngsters get the idea that we're an informing agency for police, they just wouldn't talk with us, Mr. Holt told the Binghamton Lions Club yesterday at a luncheon meeting in the Manor Binghamton Plaza.

Mr. Holt, in Binghamton to help set up the New York State Narcotic Addiction Control Commission center in O'Neil Building, made the statement in response to a question by a club member. The member asked whether the consultants, by not working with police, felt they are above police. MR. HOLT said the center's job primarily, is one of rehabiaddicts and prevention through education an approach divorced from the policeman's "job of cutting down the supply, intercepting traffic and finding the pusher and arresting Broome County Sheriff John M.

Nov. 5, 1969 Color TV Sets Money Unaccounted For Smyk, State Police Probing WSKG By DAVE ROSSIE One aspect of the clouded WSKG-TV financial picture is being investigated by the Broome County District Attorney's Office and the New York State Police. WSKG-TV is the station of the Southern Tier Educational Television Association. District Attorney Stephen Smyk today confirmed that his office and the State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation are digging into the possible of money misappropriatioments for cutrate color television sets.

"THE MATTER IS under active police investigation," Mr. Smyk, said. he could go into detail other than to confirm that the investigation involves slightly more than $9,000 paid to Radio Corporation of America by WSKG-TV for color TV sets. The sets were obtained from RCA by former WSKG-TV general manager Jerry R. Brown through accommodation sales, in other words at manufacturer's cost, then sold to persons associated with the station in various capacities.

STETA bials and auditors retained by STETA and the New York State Education Department say they have been unable to determine how much of the money paid by the recipients of the sets found its way into WSKG-TV's treas- ALSO TODAY William A. chairman of directors, said the decision to withhold pages of comments that were part of a fiscal 1967-68 audit done by the Binghamton firm of Garvey and Garvey when the audit, or part of it, was released last week and had been reached by STETA's Finance Committee. The audit was done by Donald J. Garvey, himself a member of the STETA board. Mr.

Garvey was not a member of the board at the time he did the audit at Mr. Brown's request. He said he did the audit without charge, as a public service. What he found, Mr. Garvey said yesterday, was waste extravagance.

He said he found a station that had cost twice as much to make operational as had been budgeted; $1,263,000 instead of $650,000. "THERE CERTAINLY was little effort on the part of the board of directors and the station manager to institute or to effect cost controls," Mr. Garvey said in his audit comments. Nor did Mr. Garvey spare the state.

"The state provided for a one-time grant but did not ascertain that sufficient funds were on hand or pledged or otherwise provided for payment of the initial costs involved in getting on the air," he said. "It is our opinion that the State of New York did not fulfill their responsibilities," he said. "A REVIEW OF the fixed assets reveals elaborate studio equipment, office equipment and mobile unit not necessary for the operation of a non-profit television station," Mr. Garvey said in his audit comments. "It is our estimate that the cost of this station exceeded necessary costs by over $600,000." The station got itself into an unfavorable contract with Stainless Corp.

of Philadelphia, from which it leases its broadcasting tower space, Mr. Garvey said. He said it made a lease prepayment of funds for the final of $33,750 as "an advance, of a 20-year lease, the payment Shopping Bag On Garbage Can Has Baby's Body The body of a prematurely born baby was discovered in a shopping bag, resting on a garbage can, along Upper Front Street, this morning, according Sheriff's deputies. Capt. Ramsay Lay of the sheriff's criminal offce said the incident "looks very much like an abortion." He made the comment after a pathologists report was made to the Coroner Herbert Wilk following an autopsy.

Captain Lay said the baby, a boy carried by a woman 22 weeks pregnant, weighed pounds. He said the body was found wrapped in three Turkish towels inside a shopping bag, by the owner of an Upper Front Street home, who was not identified. Captain Lay said the resident put his garbage cans out yesterday and discovered the bag this morning. The only clue deputies have is a car seen by a neighbor in the vicinity of the garbage cans at about 8 o'clock last night. of which does not bear interest." "It is our opinion that the board of directors, manager and legal counsel are responsible for entering into contracts and leases and for the financial impact resulting such contracts and leases," Mr.

Garvey said in his report. MEMBERS of the Finance Committee are Cecil C. Tyrrell, president of Broome Technical Community College; George Butz, a member of the Union-Endicott Board of Education; Miss Nancy Granger, a personnel employe of Wilson Memorial Hospital; Martin A. Helfer, superintendent of Binghamton's public schools; Harry S. Milligan, president and treasurer of the Sun-Bulletin, and Jack D.

Vail, of Vail-Ballou. Mr. Vail is committee chairman and comptroller of STETA. Mr. Milligan is STETA's treasurer.

Mr. Milligan, Mr. Butz and Mr. Helfer were not present at the meeting at which it was decided to withhold the auditor's comments, according to minutes of that meeting. STETA officials said they did not know if the three men were aware of their colleagues' intentions or if they were in agreement with them.

Mr. Anderson said the auditor's comments were held back "because the committee felt they were editorial in nature." MR. ANDERSON said he covered the details of the auditor's criticism in a summary he issued along with the partial audit. Mr. Anderson said the committee took the position that Mr.

Garvey, in his comments, had drawn on information to which he was privy as a board member, information that exceeded the scope of the audit. Mr. Garvey, in releasing the complete audit yesterday, said he will probably resign from the STETA board and suggested the rest of the directors might be well advised to do the same. Mr. Garvey said two of Mr.

Brown's most obvious unnecessary expenditures were $114,000 for a mobile broadcasting unit, and about $20,000 for a color film developer with related equipment. I ASKED him why he had bought these things," Mr. Garvey said, and told me he was planning to rent out the mobile unit and he was going to go into color film processing. He apparently was going to go into business, and the SUAB Conditions Denied as Unique Woes 'Inherent' in Security Tieup curity. This included fitting ground floor windows with stops permitting a maximum opening of four inches and installation of floodlights at one of the dorms near the woods.

The school also hired three off-duty. policemen from the Town of Vestal and paid a number of male students to patrol dormitories at night. The Vestal police are apparently no longer working, although university security officials would not confirm this. And the student "guards" program has been partly discontinued. THE SECURITY problem, according to Mr.

May, is "inherently tied up with money." Money would enable the university to hire more security staff. "It would go a long way to solution of the Mr. May said. "It's not a panacea, but it's a major part." Twice, he said, in the last two years, the state university chancellor has asked the State Legislature for increases in money for security at all state campus facilities. Both times, the requests were denied.

SUAB was somewhat more fortunate. It asked this year for more money, got it, and hired some additional security police. THE SUBJECT of hitchhik- is being dealt with, it seems, less concernedly than other security problems. The university has, so far since the two hitchhiking incidents took place, made no official statement discouraging studentses from the practice. It tolerate it, if not encourage it.

Signs, which once directed students in their hitchhiking efforts, were not taken down by the university, but were knocked down by cars and students over a period of time. What to do about hitchhikers, especially girls, is being left up to the masters council, which has role of overseer of the university's dormitories. Norwich Elects Democratic Mayor Norwich voters elected a Democratic mayor for the first time in 22 years and also elected a woman to the Common Council for the first time.

The school systems around here have poured money into it," he said. "It can be salvaged and it should be. We need it." Mr.

Garvey said he thinks a committee of "influential people" should replace the existing STETA board, negotiate new, more lenient contracts with such major creditors as RCA and work out a long-range amortization program that would enable the station to continue operation. By LOU GANIM Security at the State University at Binghamton is a touchy subject. As is the case with many colleges and universities, the Vestal campus is an "open" one, and members of the general community can virtually come and go as they please. The SUAB officialdom is touchy about discussing its security. It still winces recalling the severe beating of two coeds in their dormitory room Sept.

7. It is no less aware of other incidents this semester. It is aware that two girls, picked up while hitchhiking, reported to state police last month that they had been raped. THE INCIDENTS, troopers feel, were unrelated. One girl was hitching a ride from Main Street, Binghamton, during the early morning hours of Oct.

11. The other was picked up about a week later while hitchhiking in the campus' Center Drive. Troopers said neither girl was assaulted. The university's administration is aware that at 3:30 a. m.

Oct. 29, four young men jumped two male students in the lobby of a dormitory. One of the attackers brandished the head from a floor ash tray. The motive was robbery. One of the students told investigators the assailants took $360, his savings from a summer job.

Mysteriously, the next day, the money was found by one of the victims in his room. Troopers believe the attackers became scared and had second thoughts. IN NONE of these incidents has there been an arrest. University officials issued a statement this, week saying they are taking all the steps they can "think of" for security measures "within the limits of manpower, time and money." The campus! has 12 security officers, chief of security and two watchmen. In residence are more than 5,000 graduates and undergraduate students.

One school 'official said he didn't think this was "that bad a ratio." In the statement, officials also said they didn't believe SUAB's security severe problems than were more those of comparable campuses, nor did they feel the problems were more severe than those of the general commu- THEY UNWILLINGLY concede that the campus has its weaknesses. Walter R. May, an assistant vice for administration, said: "We don't want to get into something self-defeating. We don't want to advertise to people who would be attracted by that type of situation." After the beating of the two girls, school officials said they took steps to tighten dorm se- Thieves Hit Warehouse Binghamton detectives were investigating an overnight burglary at Olum's Furniture Warehouse in North Floral Avenue, where $1,752.94 worth of merchandise was stolen. They said burglars broke through a rear door and took six television sets and a stereo set.

Detectives said the thieves apparently broke in, took what they wanted and left without disturbing anything else. MRS. JACK RICHARDSON, an associate dean for student affairs and a chairman of the council, said the council is considering methods of getting, the information hazards of to hitchhiking. students This, she said, would be done through the residence halls in floor meetings and information meetings. The council also is considering sending letters to students, specifically girls, on an "informabasis.

As university officials see it, they, are doing what they can what they have to provide safety for the students. They are limited by money, manpower and time. ed to the council by defeating George C.
