good by sotak by patrick fekula i guess you could say we are sticking our heads in the sand so to speak stated captain andrew j sotak concern ing the underage drinking situation at lehigh the university police force has complete jurisdiction on rampus he continued but they may call on us from time to time for assistance if the need arises sotak is in charge of the administrative branch of the bethlehem police depart ment according to him there are very good working relations between the city police men and the campus policemen in fact he stated university officials and students are also very cooperative a few years ago bethlehem policemen worked the houseparties held at the various fraternities on campus but this put the men in an embarrassing situation it was very hard for us to stand by and watch the law being violated by 17 and 18 year old kids who were drinking at the parties soltak remarked the policemen finally had to give up these jobs which were extra work giving outside pay the standing rule now is that as long as the students stay on campus scranton to speak forum sets meeting because of former governor william scranton's experience on the carnegie
