The hearing will determine their Pleas . on the charges, Crane said. Crane said that four plainclothed federal agents arrested him at his TSU office last Wednesday. Palumbo was picked up in the 2500 L of St. Paul St. Wednesday, ac-cording to Michael Agnese, an agent irora the federal Drug Enforcement Agency. Infraction Off Campus The ""infraction"" on which the ar-rests were made did not occur on campus, Dr. James Furukawa, chair- Man of the psychology department emphasized. According to a copy of the indict-ment from U.S. attorney Robert B. Schohnan, the arrests stem from the suspect's alleged possession of and in-tent to distribute 45.26 grams of PCP June 11. A further count of usage of the telephone to ""arrange a meeting for the Purpose of purchasing"" the drug that same day was placed against Palumbo in the indictment. T,Io the bail hearing last Thursday, u.S. magistrate Clarence Goetz set a secured bail of $15,000 for Crane. This Means that Crane had to put up the equivalent of that amount to be released. Palumbo received an unsecured bond of $10,000. She did not have to secure that amount, Schulman ex- Plained, but if she missed the trial (late, she would owe the government $10,000.

TL photo by Oliver Dziggel Survey rates Newell food poor to fair by Priscilla Brooks Towson State students rated the food quality, quantity, choice and preparation of the Newall Hall and Susquehanna Room I dining rooms as poor to satisfactory according to a random survey taken in October by Dr. Patricia Outlaw, associate dean of students. Outlaw's survey is a part of her study of community assessment which observes the attitudes of students toward various aspects of college life. The survey asked students to rate on a scale of poor to excellent several features of Towson State's dining service compared to those of other institutional food services. Students surveyed in Newall Hall made frequent complaints about the excess of starchy foods such as hot dogs and pizza, and the lack of fresh fruits and vegetables. Students also complained about cold food and the short service of the continental breakfast in the early morning. According to the survey, students rated the food of the Patuxent Room and the Susquehanna Room II higher with a grade of fair to good. Students rated the dining rooms' atmosphere and sanitation as fair to excellent and the cost of the food as poor to satisfactory. The hours and speed of service received a rating of poor to good. According to Outlaw, Wayne Shelley, vice president of Business Please turn to page 4 Capote not paid for appearance by Oliver C. Dziggel and Steve Haas Truman Capote will not be paid his $3,500 fee following his abbrevi-ated appearance at the Towson Cen-ter Sunday night as the third speaker in the SGA Lecture Series. Negotia-tions have begun for a replacement. Capote stunned a crowd of 1,800 people with an unusual display of inebriation and profanity. He ram-bled incomprehensibly for ten mir.- utes before he was escorted from the stage. SGA President John Ruark spoke to The Harry Walker Agency, which supplied Capote as a speaker. He said, ""We should be able to select a replacement some time early next week."" The new speaker will be scheduled for ""some time in the spring"" and will be ""the same celebrity status or greater,"" Ruark said. ""They are overcompensating with a greater speaker because the (situation) re-flected very badly on the agency."" Capote, who arrived 15 minutes late, tripped and fell prior to reaching the stage in the darkened arena. The noted author appeared inebri-ated and disoriented while standing at the podium, leafing through one of his books in search of a particular selection to recite. He spoke several minutes into a temporarily malfunctioning micro-phone, which had not been turned on since Capote wanted no formal introduction. The fiasco was com-pounded when Capote dropped his reading glasses. The audience quickly noticed Ca-pote's altered condition. Spectators began a mass exodus shortly after Ruark was cursed by Capote for rushing onstage to retrieve the dropped glasses. Ruark previously had escorted Capote from his suite at Hunt Valley Inn. He said that he was greatly shocked by the complete turnabout in Capote's behavior from earlier that afternoon. ""I was numb. I just couldn't believe it,"" Ruark said. ""When we (Ruark and David McQuay, News American reporter) picked him up at Hunt Valley, he was stone sober. Just before we left, he went to the bathroom,"" Ruark said, implying that Capote ingested an intoxicating substance while in the bathroom. ""Halfway to the Towson Center, it hit him,"" Ruark said. ""I knew there was something wrong when he started blurting out that he was an alcoholic to Dave, who he knew was a reporter."" Upon arriving at Towson State, Ruark was assured by Margaret O'Shea, whose husband was Capote's business manager, that he would be fine once he got on stage. Capote, however, never did re-cover. He became increasingly dis-oriented and confused. His first audible words were: ""I'm going to read you something I like and if you don't like it, to hell with you!"" Ruark and McQuay were among several people who helped Capote off the stage. Ruark said that, on the return trip to Hunt Valley, Capote had absolutely no recollection of what had occurred earlier that afternoon. He could not remember that they had actually met and talked before and apparently mis-took Ruark for the chauffeur. Ruark said that refunds for the cancelled lecture would be minimal since ""95 percent of the tickets are subscriptions or free student tickets. We will merely send the extra set of tickets to subscribers. Any people who bought a ticket the day of the lecture and present a ticket stub will be refunded,"" he said. Valle replaces Stewart as box office mgr. Pat Stewart, Box Office manager, was replaced on November 3 by Ralph Valle, the fourth person to hold that job in the past year. The workload has expanded in the Box Office since she began as manager last July, said Stewart. Although a new ticket counting machine and electronic cash register were installed, the job still required the manager to work more than forty hours a week. Stewart said she ""never had intentions"" to work the heavy schedule being Box Office manager required, which she found ""too demanding."" The job as manager conflicted with the needs of her family, said Stewart, who has two school age children. Her decision to leave the Box Office was a mutual agreement between herself and the University Union Management, said Stewart. An assistant in the Box Office would have helped out during the peak period of ticket sales in September, said Stewart. The Box Office, which is under University Union Management, doesn't need an assistant manager, said George Mattingly, Union manager. Mattingly said he thinks the Box Office increased in employees to compensate adequately for the increase in business. Now, business has slowed down, said Mattingly and an assistant manager would serve no purpose. Stewart said her four months as Box Office manager was ""great experience"" and she has ""no regrets"" about working there. She is now working as a secretary for William Brown, chairman of the Business Administration depart-ment. She decided on a transfer because she ""didn't want to leave the college,"" even though ""there was nothing on my level"" to transfer to, said Stewart. Ralph Valle, the new Box Office manager is a Loyola graduate who worked under George Mattingly at Maryland National Bank. He was selected from about nine candi-dates, said Mattingly. ' We went the whole route' on the selection process,"" said Wittingly, and Valle ""was the best carklidate."" Mattingly said Valle has pdtential to move upward in the University and the Box Office position is a good start.

Why so strange? Because I had carried the trophy home for the vic-torious Towson State team Sunday evening. It took a re-count of the totals to move Towson from third place to first, and it took another recount to move them from first to second. A change in#the rules regarding forfeited games and some problems in simple addition caused the problems with the final scores, according to Paul Kowzan, a TSU student and president of the 1977 marathon. Loyola ended up the winner with 254 points while Towson finished second with 246. The University of Baltimore, with 225, and Essex Community College, with 207, rounded out the field in the twelfth annual game for the benefit of Santa Claus Anonymous. ""I'm really sorry. .1 don't know what to say,"" Kowzan said Monday when he called to inform me of the error in the final score. I had grown suspicious of Towson's claim to the title when there was no mention of the winner on Sunday night's news or in the Monday morning newspaper. This is what happened as Sunday's final games were about to get underway: Towson and Loyola were tied in last place with 184 points going into the final games at 4 p.m. Sunday, with UB's 207 points leading and Essex se-cond with 194. Both Towson and Loyola were to get points added to their totals because of games forfeited to them earlier in the marathon. Please turn to page 3 "
