Walsh said that one of the tolations is the storage of don wooden pallets instead f on the required ventilated tee! shelving. ""By Monday eY (the Health Department) ant to see a purchase order 'S ie 3 made out for the steel shelv-ing,"" he said. The Health Department's inspector cited wooden tables used for storing bread and lack of enough thermometers in refrigerated cases as items that needed improvement. Walsh said that most of the other violations were ""small things like that."" The Health Department sanitarian also pointed out that some cold foods were not being kept at the required temperature. ""Depending on the inspec-tor you get, they always find something wrong,' ' Walsh said. A facility without any viola-tions scores a ""100."" Gambill said that TSU ""usually scores in the 80's."" Walsh said that last week's inspection was ""not near as had as the one last semester."" Secretaries Gerry Hartung and Mark Lewis work on the SGA calendar printed last week in Towerlight.

The two new ecretaries were tabbed last Pring to replace Lewis and artung after Finegan won the SGA election, and they have been working as assis-tants in their new offices since (1 'nay. v Both Hartung and Lewis, who lost in their bid for resident and vice president a,8t Year to Finegan and SGA Ice president Nancy Payne, ere expected to vacate their ositions at the end of the last s chool year, but stayed e ), )f ""rough September to ease the ransition and help thei r e placements ""learn the n j�Pes,"" as Finegan put it. Hut Lewis said, ""if we h ledn't been replaced, we 'r )robably would have resigned e knYWay."" ,,,, Hartung cited differences in , he administration that he and '1,ewis worked under last year, h k heo David Nevins and Ann Marie Lowe split the year as president, and the current administration headed by Finegan. ""A lot of what Dave's administration started won't be carried through,"" said Hartung. ""This is a different type of organizations."" Hartung continued that, in the Finegan administration, there is a power struggle that wasn't in existence last year. ""This year, already, every-body wants to be the presi-dent. The Nevins-Lowe admin-istration was an organized team that worked together for a long time,"" he said. ""Joanne will do a good job if she can stop the power struggle. She's really very conscientious,"" Hartung added. The two outgoing secretar-ies said that when Finegan and Payne came into office, they had no real knowledge or experience in executive pro-jects that had been started. Hartung criticized for ""look-ing at the administration as bad guys."" ""The administrators don't want to screw you over � well, a few guys do, but so do some students,"" Hartung commented. ""You do a lot more by inviting someone to have a drink than by saying 'This is the way it is � this is what I want'."" Lewis said it ""really wouldn't matter"" who the SGA executives were in any year, because ""they have an excellent staff that keeps on top of things."" He indicated that with secretary Donna Seerdehely and bookkeepers Arlene Campeggi and Andrea Conlan in the office for several years, ""they know more about what's going on most of the time than we (the officers) do."" Hartung and Lewis were not sure how their successors would fare in their new jobs. They said they still had a lot to learn, but felt optimistic that Shehan and McGlone would learn. ""After he learns the job, John will do okay,"" Hartung said of his replacement. ""He has to learn not to be such a 'nice guy' all the time and deal with problems on a more serious level. You're not going to please everybody all the time."" Lewis said ""We didn't see them over the summer to work with them, and there's still a lot Matt has to learn. Hopefully, he'll learn quick."" The immediate problems that Shehan and McGlone will have to tangle with include whether or not there will be a student directory this fall and setting up the spring calendar. Asked if the Finegan admin-istration had made any major accomplishments, Hartung said it was far too early in the year. ""They have developed a closer relationship with Senate, though,"" he said. ""They've made the Senators aware of what an important job the Senate has."" When asked if the adminis-tration had made any major mistakes, Hartung replied, ""Richard Andrews."" Both Lewis and Hartung agreed there were ""no hard feelings"" felt toward Finegan. Finegan, likewise, said she had ""no hard feelings"" for the two departing SGA cabinet officials.

Dorothy Siegel, vice presi-dent for student services, will serve as chairperson of the task force, and Joanne Finegan, current Student Government Association pres-ident, and David Nevins, the University's auxiliary services manager and former president of the SGA, will serve as co-chairpersons. The other members of the force will be named soon. In making the announce-ment, Fisher said, ""The task force should be immediately concerned with the develop-ment of a design that will slow, stay and hopefully reduce student tuition and fees. ""I envision one-on-one con-tacts by informed students and staff with members of the General Assembly and other key state officers. Although I am confident in the leadership of the committee and their excellent credentials, the work will not be easy since the tiends are strong both in Maryland and the country toward raising fees and tuitions on a yearly basis as we have experienced so far in this decade. That is why I view this as a two-year assignment."" Fisher said that ""Student tuition and fee increases are as much a problem . for faculty and staff as they are for students and their parents. Surely no one of us can fail to see the unfortunate enroll-ment implications if the trend of, underfunding and rising fees increases continues un-abated. Ostensibly free public higher education will become a condition of history if some effective campaign is not mounted quickly."" Fisher proposed that this year, '""I'ogether with the task force and others of common cause, we prepare and begin to implement a systematic strategy that stems and eventually will eliminate the problem of increasing student fees.

F. Troy SGA Senator Jeff Woodard, in the Senate meeting Tues-day, accused Vice President Nancy Payne of ""goddamn incompetence"" and deliber-ately losing two bills he had introduced into the Senate. The dispute apparently had been building for some time and finally broke when Woodard was replaced as chairman of the University Affairs Committee. He called for reconsideration of the vote, but the Senate declined, backing Payne's move to oust Woodard from the chairman-ship. Marc Land was named the new chairman. Woodard interrupted Senate proceedings a few minutes later when he appar-ently realized that two bills he had submitted to the Senate in time for Tuesday's meeting had not been scheduled for debate on the meeting's agenda. He openly accused Payne of losing them on purpose. When she denied the charge, Woodard angrily re-plied, ""It's a goddamn lie!"" ""I don't like the insinuation that I am a liar,"" Payne said. ""I'm not insinuating. I'm saying it. You're incompe-tent! ,"" retorted Woodard. ""If you continue to talk that way, Jeff, you will have to leave the Senate chambers,"" said Payne. This exchange was repeated with variations several times during and after the meeting. After the first outburst, Woodard approached this Towerlight reporter during the meeting and claimed Payne was guilty of ""fucking racism."" The first bill that Woodard submitted would set up a committee to select speakers for the Speakers' Series, composed of the SGA presi-dent, the Black Student Union president and five senators. The other bill was a resolution commending Iota Phi Theta fraternity for ""the fine job they have been doing and the coronation they recently held."" Woodard said that he placed the two bills in the vice president's office on time, and that two senators and the Senate secretary saw them. Moon ies to try again for SGA recognition by Kathy Pascuzzi Steven Bates, leader of the Collegiate Association for the Research of Principles (CARP), said he will try to have the organization re-chartered with the Student Government Association this semester. He said he isn't sure yet what action he will take to have the group reinstated. SGA originally withdrew its support from CARP last May, after the Government Opera-tions Committee reported un-favorably on rechartering for the group. SGA Vice President Nancy Payne said that ""there's no way"" CARP will be reinstated as a SGA organization, be-cause of ""rules change"" made this semester. However, Par-liamentarian Richard Andrews explained that in the ""rules change"" the Government Op-erations Committee is only ""putting on paper"" policies already in effect concerning chartering of organizations. No actual rule change has taken place. Bates said the CARP'S purpose is to publish the Unification Principles taught Please turn to page 3 Not TSU students Three suspects arrested in theft by Bill Stetka Three suspects were arrested early Saturday morn-ing in connection with the theft of a resident student's bike, and Gene Dawson, director of campus police, said the three are also suspected in several other crimes that have occurred on the Towson State campus during September. The three suspects may be among four men wanted for the theft of stereo equipment from two rooms in Ward Hall on each of the previous two weekends. In one of the incidents, a student was threatened by a man holding what was said to be a .22 caliber pistol, and in the other incident, two other Ward Hall residents were beaten by four men who entered a resident's room. Dawson is also seeking to clear up some of the confusion that followed the arrest of a Tower resident charged Friday night with possession of marijuana. Dawson said that a search warrant was served Friday night to a student following an investigation which involved University and Baltimore County police. ""We confiscated quantities of PCP and marijuana,"" said Dawson. Dawson said he was con-cerned about rumors he had heard concerning ""why we don't concentrate on armed robberies and the others."" ""The intent is pointed at the pusher or the dealer,"" Dawson said. ""If the posses-sor gets caught up in it, the officer � the University � cannot ignore ""Our position with any narcotic is that those persons caught with it will be prosecuted,"" he continued. Dawson explained the cir-cumstances under which police officers may enter a student's room. ""Under normal circum-stances, the student does not have to let the officer into his or her room, even after the officer identities himself,"" he said. ""An officer can enter a student's room if he has probable cause,"" Dawson continued. He said that with probable cause, an officer can take any dangerous substance that is in plain view. He cannot, however, open any drawers, closet doors, or search through things in the student's room without a search warrant. Dawson said, ""When you have narcotics around, es-pecially being sold, you're bringing in the undesirable element � the non-student with guns who, if he saw the opportunity, would commit the larceny. They go hand-in- hand."" None of the three suspects arrested in last Friday night's larceny were TSU students. They were apprehended in the lobby of the Tower after being observed at various points on campus by Officer Bob Ryan. Please turn to page 4 Andrews to write again concerning Venetoulis by Jim Moorefield Student Government As-sociation parliamentarian Richard Andrews has received no reply from the Baltimore County Council concerning his charge that County Executive Ted Venetoulis' teaching posi-tion in the Political Science department is illegal. Andrews says he will ""hand deliver"" a letter to the State's Attorney's office, again ques-tioning the legality of the ac-tion. Andrews said ""If the State's Attorney also decides to ignore it, my only recourse is to try to get someone from the State Legislature to institute impeach-ment proceedings against Mr. Venetoulis, but I don't think anyone would do it."" He later added, ""Even if someone would start impeachment proceed-ings, it would be January be-fore they could get to it, and the course would be over. Then it wouldn't be worth Andrews has written letters to County Council chairman John O'Rourke and to Uni-versity officials charging that Venetoulis is in violation of several sections of the County Charter. The parliamentarian noted that the Council ""is un-der no legal compulsion to answer the letter."" John L. Wighton, director of Central Services for the County, denied any violation of the Char-ter. Venetoulis' press secre-tary Carol Strahlman termed Andrews' question ""ridiculous,"" and said she couldn't see how teaching 21/2 hours per week could ""set a bad precedent for the future."" New ticket policy announced for football at Burdick Field by Steve Haas Mark London, manager of the University Union, announced a change in proce-dure for Towson State football games on Burdick Field this season, due to the rapid increase in attendance this season. An estimated 3000 people attended the night game last Saturday. Instead of the previous practice of checking Towson ID's at the gate, along with taking tickets purchased by non-students, London ar-ranged for additional ID card -checking booths away from the gate, to speed up entrance to the stands. The four yellow stationary ticket booths set along the paths leading in from lot 11 (see drawing) will still sell Burdick tickets and issue tickets for valid Towson ID's, but the two new table-booths will be equipped for ID's only. In addition, the rarely-used booth on the lot 9 side of the field will be opened for ID-only service. London said, ""We are catering to the students in providing a faster way into the field. It � would be foolish to stand in line at the cash booths when there will be the ones equipped for ID service only. The cash booths will still be checking the ID's, though."" He pointed out that the lines will diminish at the cash booths as the Towson students leave the lines to enter via the special booths. This method should also alleviate backups at the gate, as ""hassles over outdated ID's will be handled at the tables,"" instead of at the gate. lot 9 cam set, � ID booth only London was emphatic in reminding students to bring their ID with them to games. ""Some of the older students aren't used to carrying their ID's to a booth for a ticket, so they just walk up to the gate, expecting to get in He also noted the rise in students showing up at a game without any ID at all, and expecting to gain entrance without one. London was hopeful that the new arrangement would ease some of the confusion at the gate and added that ""it will take a lot of the responsibility away from the girls in the ticket booths. We can't really expect them to stop someone who decides he wants to bull his way in."" He mentioned the possibil-ity of installing turnstiles at the gate in the future to further enhance orderly access to the seats. UnivarsIty Union quick sorvic� ID booths only cosh and ID E Lo t 11 A new ticket arrangement will begin with the football game tomorrow night at Burdick Field. Boxes listed as ""Cash and ID booths"" will handle tickets for both types. Boxes listed as ""Quick service - ID booths only"" are a new addition for ID-card admittance. A student showing a valid ID will be given a ticket for entrance. Students without ID's will not be admitted. "
