fflfre 3niiana (jaitlte Saturday, May 12, 1990 Pog 3 Penn State OKs $75 million more for building STATF, rniJ.RKB Pa Am ment with six curricula. They also hired an architect, The Kling-Lin-quist Partnership Inc. of Philadelphia, for an applied research laboratory. Seven trustees were elected for three-year terms starting with the new fiscal year: Mary Greeley -Beahm of Pittsburgh; Jesse Amelle of San Francisco; Joel-Meyers of State College; William Ringler of Berlin, Pa. David Morrow of Tyrone; William Schreyer of -New York; and Bernard Hankin of Exton.

"We've been sold out for many years and a large demand is there," Wagner said. Beaver Stadium, which seats 83,230, has been sold out 71 consecutive games. The trustees also rubber-stamped committee recommendations to changes in the school's education college, streamlining the depart which will be moved to where the school's poultry facility now stands. The board also extended its $1.52 billion budget to cover the start of the new fiscal year on July 1. The board's next scheduled meeting is July 13 after the school's state appropriation is determined.

The budget Includes $253 million for the Hershey Medical Center. Trustees approved a $465,000 expenditure to allow crews to begin preparing for the Beaver Stadium expansion. The school originally planned to build a upper deck on the east But, Jim Wagner, Penn State's vice president of business and operations, said, the addition would have made the stadium look unbalanced. Moving the stadium expansion to the north end zone would enable 10,300 seats to be added. The expansion will cost $12.1 million, compared with $20 million under the old plans, Wagner said.

Although the vantage point will be less desirable, Wagner said he saw no difficulty in selling end zone seats. Penn State University's board of trustees has agreed to incur another S75 million in debt for construction projects after advisers said the money could cover building costs for the next four years. The on Friday also approved' the first phase of plans to move a Beaver Stadium expansion project from the east sideline to the north end zone. The switch would let the athletic department add more seats than originally planned at a cost. The additional debt, combined with a fl50 million bond issue from March 1989 and a $42.7 million issue last November, will pay for building improvements and con-; struction across the university's 23 campuses.

Associate treasurer Ray Nargl said 54 percent of the money will pay for projects at Penn State's main campus and 38 percent is earmarked for additions to medical and academic buildings at the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. "It can finance the most pressing capital needs for the near future," Nargi said. He said he did not expect the university to take on more debt for two to four years. The increasing debt raises the university's financial obligations to $427 million, with the university paying $14.7 million annually, Nargi said.

He said the university had enough money to make four years' worth of payments. One main-campus project approved Friday and included in the recent bond issues was a fll.2 million classroom and office building on the site of the athletic fields, JAY Y.

(AP) Traffic ticket fixing probably is done in every police department in the country, according to four North Huntingdon Township commissioners who say they've asked police to drop traffic citations. Their comments came Friday, a day after a Westmoreland County grand jury recommended that criminal ticket fixing charges be filed against the township's two top police officials and the chairman of the community's sewer and water authority. Commissioner Phil Abbot didn't remember the "who, what or where" of any of the traffic cases he was involved in, but said, "Do you think they don't fix tickets all over America?" Commissioners James Tempero, Russell Auberle and Fred Batley also said the practice is common. Tempero, Abbot, Auberle and Batley were named as ticket fixers in the grand jury's presentment. The panel did not recommend charges be filed against them, however.

The grand jury found that 351 of 4,000 tickets written by police in 1988 never were filed with a district justice. Those tickets carried fines and costs of $26,294. The district attorney's office has said it will follow the grand Jury's recommendation and file charges against suspended Police Chief William Brkovich, Lt. Franklin Havey, and authority Chairman John Abraham. Abbot said he tried to help people In need, such as an unemployed widow with three children who was facing a fine of more than $90 for a traffic violation.

The grand jury said Abbot's name appeared on 44 tickets. Tempero said he wasn't concerned that 24 ticket fixes were credited to him. "If you got something against poor people, I'm guilty," Batley said, recalling that in one traffic case he helped a college student who had a minimum-wage lob. A township police officer who was arrested in January for fixing tick Independent TV station goes off air JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (AP) An independent television station in Cambria County was forced to go off the air when its last employee quit.

All WPTJ-TV employees except Assistant General Manager Ron Patcher walked off the job May 1 after not being paid for four weeks. Patcher said he worked 18 hours a day alone until May 6 to keep the station on the air. "I couldn't keep it up. It was too much," he said. The station, owned by Leon Crosby of California, filed for protection from creditors under Chapter 11 of federal bankruptcy laws in March 1988.

On Jan. 31. the court forced the station to liquidate under Chapter 7. Patcher said he and the other employees probably will not receive their back pay. Court-appointed media broker Ray Rosenblum of Pittsburgh is trying to sell the station's Federal Communications Commission broadcast license.
