Community Affairs, Rick Vilello, stated that he was the mayor of Lock Haven, Pennsylvania for four terms and learned the importance of an accurate census count. “The estimate is At 5:21 p.m. on Wednesday, everybody that is not counted means that Pennsylvania will lose $2,093,” he said. Vilello March 27, 2019 the House explained that he is representing DCED Secretary Dennis Davin and Governor Tom Wolf stands adjourned until because the census falls under his jurisdiction. He added that by working with partners Monday, April 8, 2019 at 1:00 across the state it is possible to have an accurate count. p.m., unless sooner recalled by the Speaker. Department of Human Services (DHS) Secretary Teresa Miller asserted that the census has UPCOMING SESSION DAYS csritical implications for DHS and for the nearly three million Pennsylvanians served through House the program. She indicated federal appropriations use data derived from the census to guide April 8-10, 15-17, 29, 30 them in the distribution of funds for programs such as Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance May 1, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 22 Program (CHIP), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Low Income Home June 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 17, Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), and child care and development block grant. 18, 19, 20, 24-28 Budget hearings: Feb. 11 - Department of Education (DOE) Secretary Pedro Rivera explained that census data is used Mar. 7 to allocate Title I programs, Title 1 grants, special education grants, National School Lunch Program grants, Head Start, Early Head Start grants, community and migrant health center Senate programs, and public housing. He asserted that census data will enable the DOE to identify April 8, 9, 10, 29, 30 demographic compositions of community constituency, and that data is used in educational May 1, 6, 7, 8 planning, measuring outcomes and success. “If we continue to do our due diligence with June 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 17, ensuring that there is an accurate count, we can properly support programs.” he said. 18, 19, 24-28 Budget hearings: Feb. 19 - Department of Health (DOH) Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine stated that DOH is focused on Mar. 7 protecting the health of all Pennsylvanians, providing healthy opportunities to prepare for potential diseases, educating the public on disease, and assisting physicians in keeping residents in Pennsylvania healthy. She indicated that the Women Infants and Children (WIC) Food and Nutrition Service is funded based upon census data. Dr. Levine asserted that over 200,000 Pennsylvanians are assisted by the WIC program. She explained that WIC also helps the Pennsylvania economy because, “WIC families shop at more than 1,500 Pennsylvania grocery stores, and spend more than more than $248 million in Pennsylvania with their WIC benefits.” Director of Pennsylvania State Data Center, Susan Copella, stated the Pennsylvania State Data Center was established in 1981 by executive order of the governor because the U.S. Census Bureau wanted each state to assist with the census counts. She explained how the Pennsylvania State Data Center is the official source of population and economic statistics. Copella opined that historically the census has undercounted young children, racial and ethnic minorities, rural residents, and low income households at a higher rate than other populations. She asserted that Pennsylvania has over 2.7 million rural residents, and that the minority population grew by more than 400,000 residents since 2010, and that one in ten residents is living in poverty. U.S. Census Bureau Deputy Regional Director Philip Lutz stated that the U.S. Census Day is exactly one year away on April 1, 2020, and that the 2020 Census “is easier to participate in than ever before” as participation can be done online, with a paper form, or by telephone, and will be available in Spanish and 12 or 13 languages. He asserted that the 2020 census will be the 24th census, and that it is constitutional to conduct the census every ten years. Lutz indicated that by law all the information is confidential and only statistical information can be. He stated that one of the Census Bureau’s struggles is getting people “educated and motivated” to fill out the form.” Lutz explained that the U.S. Census Bureau will need workers to help with the census count, that temporary jobs are available. Administration officials took questions from the press. What is Pennsylvania doing in the coming year to help get a good count? Vilelllo explained that DCED is working with commission members to figure out the most effective manner to approach educating each community in how to complete their census forms. He asserted that areas in Reading, Lancaster, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh will be assed differently than other areas in the state to make sure that the message is the same so that people are not afraid to answer the questions. Can you talk about the major differences between this census and the previous one? Vilello stated that there are more ways for people to submit their responses, but that he is not sure of the questions on the form as there is one question in particular that is being debated. Which question is being debated? Vilello explained that the question of citizenship is being decided by the courts, and he hopes that it would be decided by June. What additional platforms are available? Lutz explained that the major difference this time around is that people will be able to go online to respond to the census either from their smart phone or computer. He asserted that members of the committees will work with libraries and other facilities so that people can have computer access there, and telephone centers will also be available so that people can respond to the census by phone. You mentioned languages, how many languages was there last time? Lutz said that there were six languages last time, and that they would also have language guides for about 59 languages with an advertising campaign to target various language groups and populations. The President tweeted this morning that he thinks the census would be meaningless without the citizenship question included. Do you have a response to that and is there concern that if that question is on there that it would scare off some potential people from participating? Vilello explained that he believes there is a concern that it would scare some people from answering the census, and the key is counting everybody regardless of their citizenship status. Are there any citizenship questions that are different? Vilello explained that they are all the same. Was citizenship not included last time? Vilello stated that it was not. 2 Is the census tied to infrastructure funding like roads and electricity? Vilello stated that he did not know about electricity, but highway funding is tied to census counts. He added that in Lock Haven one the poorest neighborhood is underfunded and that the town is forced to live with the undercount for ten years. Committee News No Committee News this week.

  • TWO TURNTABLES and a MICROPHONE by Andy Baum, C'72
    TWO TURNTABLES AND A MICROPHONE By Andy Baum, C’72 Growing up, my only career ambitions were to write for a newspaper and to be on the radio. When I was admitted to Penn I saw the chance to achieve both. So during freshman year I heeled both the Daily Pennsylvanian and WXPN. The DP was an august institution. A bunch of unpaid students somehow produced a well- written, full-sized print newspaper every weekday without benefit of computers. Everyone on campus read it. A leadership position at the paper was a serious credential, and helped launch many journalistic careers. The highlight of my heeling was spending election night in 1968 standing by the UPI teletype, ripping off and then delivering to the correct desk the election return reports. It felt important. WXPN wasn’t important. It was lodged in a few run-down rooms on the top floor of Houston Hall. Its AM station broadcast through electrical wires in the dorms. It had a Top 40 format. Since it was easy for students to hear the real thing on WFIL or WIBG, the audience consisted mostly of friends of the student DJs and a few other souls looking for an easy way to win a Campus Joe Pagano pizza by being the “third caller.” (Often, the winner was the only caller.) The FM side was more serious business, but it didn’t have much impact on campus life, and was barely known off-campus except among alumni who tuned in to hear Penn football games. I made the cut at both.

  • DPAA 2018: Year in Review What We Did • Organized the 33Rd Annual Steven A
    Daily Pennsylvanian Alumni Association 2018 Annual Report We’re pleased to provide your copy of the DP Alumni Association Annual Report. Look inside to read columns from DPAA President Martin Siegel, outgoing DP President David Akst, DP General Manager Eric Jacobs, and DP Board of Directors Lead Alumni Director Chuck Cohen about the state of the DP and DPAA. We also recognize the many DP alumni who contributed to the DPAA during our 2017-18 membership year. Why do we create and mail a printed report? Each year, some of you have asked why we aren’t being greener/more frugal by simply posting it online. While we do post alumni news throughout the year on our DPAA Facebook page, and send periodic emails, statistics show that fewer than half our alumni read our email newsletters and subscribe to our Facebook page. So this once-a-year mailing attempts to reach the widest audience of DP alumni to give everyone a snapshot of DP and DPAA activities during the past year. We hope you find this report informative, and as always, we welcome your input on how we can improve it in future years. The DPAA Board of Directors December, 2018 DPAA 2018: Year in Review What we did • Organized the 33rd annual Steven A. Marquez Journalism Conference in September, featuring 18 DP alumni speakers • Presented the 5th annual DP Journalism Bootcamp in January, featuring 8 DP alumni speakers • Hosted office open house receptions for alumni on Homecoming and Alumni Day, and smaller regional get-togethers in New York and San Francisco • Provided alumni critiques of
