Do something) LUME 7 -- NO. 4 State Secretary Rogers speaks to college press WASHINGTON (WCNS) - "What are we going to do, after' the fighting is finished, to rebuild what we have done over there? " the press asked Secretary of State William P. Rogers. He answered: "We are going to offer - we have offered, and are prepared to help to rehabilitate South Vietnam. As you know, both President Johnsdn and President Nixon have indicated a willingness to help North Vietnam. "We have a great responsibility to the people in that area to help them. The devastation has been very great.... There is agreat deal of repair work that has to be done, and the United States is fully prepared to assist in that regard." This exchange was part of' the dialogue between Secretary Rogers and delegates to the 62nd anniversary convention of Sigma Delta Chi, the professional journalism society, where 1,000 newsmen and -women half from college student chapters got together to discuss foreign policy and other national issues with Nixon Administration spokesmen and others. Rogers set the tone in his opening remarks: "The only way that it's possible to judge foreign affairs is in relative terms. You have to ask yourself: 'How do we stand today compared to where we stood at some other time?' " His conclusion: "I think as a result of leadership on the part of the United States, and particularly on the part of President Nixon, that he has achieved in the world picture... a position of leadership for peace which bolds out great hope for the prospects of a generation of peace." One important issue raised by the delegates was the recent replacement of the Republic of China(Taiwan) in the United Nations by the People's Republic of China. "How can we regain our leadership in the United Nations after the defeat on Taiwan?" a delegate asked. "The whole point of a democracy is that sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose; and you are bound by the majority of votes," Rogers answered. "In the first place, I think our position was sound, and I think people will recognize it as sound. "Secondly, I think people feel that we made a good, stiff, hard fight to succeed. And third, we acknowledged right after the defeat that it would not affect our relations with the United Nations, that we would continue to support it and continue to be an active participant." "So I don't think we have lost at all," he concluded. "In some ways, I think we've gained. I don't think you lose prestige every time you have a defeat. If you believed that, you wouldn't really believe in the democratic process." Another series of questions concerned the tense situation developing between India and Pakistan. What was the U.S. position? How does India feel about U.S. relations with Pakistan? How does the weapons embargo affect Pakistan? Rogers explained that since 1965 the U.S. has not provided "any substantial military equipment," except for spare parts, to either side. "We are not supplying ,arms to either side, and recently, we have not granted any licenses for further spare parts, so we are not providing any military equipment to either side." "We are going to do all we can to prevent a war from breaking out," he continued, ;,and obviously if a war should ,break out; we are going to do everything we can to stay out. We-have no intention of getting int6a,ny other war." Finally, delegates asked whether the U.S. is losing standing throughout the world. "We have not lost our standing in the world," he replied. "We are, by far, the most prominent and powerful nation in the world. Sometimes, I hesitate to say it, because it sounds so immodest. I think sometimes it's better if we're a little self-effacing. But the fact is that the position of the United States is probably adversely affected by our power." "We've got problems that we're working on." he reassured the delegates, "but we are going to solve the problems and we're going to continue to have very close alliances as we have had , in the past." 1 Mickey Mouse, now Jesus Christ watches! CHICAGO, 111. (NC) - A Jesus wrist watch, featuring a smiling Jesus in your choice of black face or white, is about to get a heavy promotion in the nation's youth market,l according to a columnist here. Chicago Daily News columnist Mike Royko said the newly formed Jesus Watch Co. of Los Angeles has budgeted $250,000 to promote the $19.95 watch in college newspapers, on rock radio stations and in the underground press. The ads are aimed especially at the "movement" among the young. A sample ad reads: "Be with Jesus every minute of the day. "Wear the watch on your hand of the man who stilled the water. Only $19.95. "Our Saviour's likeness, beautifully reproduced in crimson, earth brown, sky blue, sunshine yellow, cloth black and soft pink on a fleecy white background. ``Complete with ever-revolving crimson heart to tick off the minutes of the day. The most perfect gift for almost every loved one and, church group. Comes with wide leatherette wrist band. "Order the race of your choice." Los Angeles public relations man Arnold Carr, a partner in the new watch company, told Royko that he sees nothing offensive in the manufacture of the Jesus watch. "The watch is •tasteful," the publicist said. "The integrity of Jesus is retained. We haven't made apop head out of him. All we've done is given him a smile. We've taken him out of the church and off the cross and put him on a watch." The hands of the watch rotate on a continuously revolving red heart. Carr seemed faintly distressed that twice a day the position of the hands might make the smiling Jesus seem incongruous. "Some people have pointed out to us that when the hands reach a quarter to three he seems to be on the cross - but we never contemplated that," he said. Carr made it clear that he did not lack theological convictions about his product, telling Royko: "There are some Jesus groups out here in Los Angeles - we call them the God Squad - .who are always holding up one Tim Eigilarrrs Totirgi PUBLISHED BY STUDENTS OF THE HAZLETON CAMPUS OF THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY posed recently in the mansion it this issue's feature on old Mai residence located on campus.

Spiro, and finger, meaning one God. We'ie against that thinking. Here, in Jesus, was aman who was an exceptional human being. He'd certainly be the last to say one of anything is right." Coincidentally, a few weeks before Royko told about the new commercial venture, the Catholic News in New York remarked in an editorial that the highly successful rock musical "Jesus Christ Superstar" would mean product exploitation built around Jesus. The New York archdiocesan weekly newspaper said that "people who would use the life of Jesus for profit ,and gain" are open to criticism - and speculated that eventually someone might come out with a Jesus watch. Student dress code proposed for campus A dress code has been proposed for the students at Highacres. When questioned as to the reasons behind this sudden move, the chief proponent of the proposed dress regulations replied, "There is too much skin being shown on this campus." He added that "a person's dress determines his behavior." According to the proposed dress code, male students must be "attired in jacket and tie," and female students must be "properly and completely attired at all times." Portions of the dress code Not Acceptable for Boys 1. Blue jeans 2. Sideburns below the end of the ear 3. Extremely tight trousers inside the collegian...

Following is the first of a number of NSL Legislative Reports to member campuses. The first results of the National Student Lobby referendum are now beginning to come into the Washington, D.C. office. As each school reports its results they are added to the findings up to that date and a new and more complete indication of the attitudes of students is 'compiled.

Tie for 3rd seat Maguire, Tigue capture SGA positions, students vote on NSL referendum The Student Government Association Freshman Elections held on Tuesday, Nov. 23, in the Student Union Building to fill three representative positions resulted in a tie for one of the seats. Tom Maguire and John L. Tigue were elected by the students to fill the other two SGA seats. Involved in the tie were Marie Blewitt and Robert Henry. According to Paul J. Yanoshik, Hazleton SGA president, the tie will be broken by a closed SGA vote scheduled for today's meeting. Eight other freshman were in the running. They were Dennis DeMara, Nancy Medico, Sal DiVincenzo, Mike L. Fansler, Edward M. Yanacek, Ellen Jarrett, Debbie Jemo, and Brenda Hill. Although only frosh were eligible to vote in this SGA election, all students were requested to vote for their priorities and opinions SGA hears of new women's group, travel agency, COP At the meeting of Nov. 16,1971, Mrs. Mary Ferry, the head librarian at Highacres, repotted to the Student Government Association about a new organization comprised of faculty wives, secretaries and other women staff members which is to replace the previously existing Women's Auxiliary. In addition to other important functions of the new group, such as finding housing for new faculty families, the organization will also continue the student loan fund. Mrs. Ferry stated that a maximum of $250, interest-free for one year, is available to any student who may have a need for it. She also asked for suggestions of other ways in which the new organization could help the students. Any student who is interested in loan information or making suggestions for the club is requested to see Mrs. Ferry or Mrs. Fogelson. In the next business of the meeting, rough drafts of the b) More Federal financial aid should go to students in institutions of higher education. c) students favor a ban on nuclear testing for military purposes d) a cut in the military budget. Acting in accord with the results of tch first NSL referendum, the staff has been doing research and some lobbying on H.R. 7248 (The Higher Education Act of 1971). Presently, Federal assistance to needy students includes E.O.G. grants (Educational Oppotunity Grants). These grants are given to institutions of higher education to distribute to needy students. The financial aid officers at colleges and universities have a high degree of influence in the determination of who contained in the first of several referendums sent out to member campuses of the National Student Lobby, of which Highacres is a member.

Sponsors of the party are Theta Sigma Pi, Delta Delta Tau, Circle K Club, and the Student Government Association. All members of these newly revised Constitution were passed out to be reviewed and corrected by the SGA be fore the final copies are made for the ratification by the student body at the Nov. 23 elections. It was also brought up that a new travel agency which will be locating in Hazleton may offer reasonable group travel rates for students in the event that any school trips are planned. One of the representatives brought up a suggestion that, if Penn State is invited to the Cotton Bowl, it might be possible to sponsor a chartered plane to the game on New Year's Day. Also, President Paul Yanoshik asked for two members of the SGA or any interested students to volunteer for the committee which will revise last year's Rate-a-Prof program; the committee will consist of Professor Leonard Shaevel, faculty chairman, two other faculty members, Yanoshik constitutes a "needy student." One of the amendments to H.R. 7248 was a proposal to restructure the E.O.G. program to guarantee Federal Aid to any student based on a standard formula. This restructuring of the E.O.G. program would have injected an element of certainty into at least part of the financing of an education for needy students. Due to the fact that at the time the NSL was organized most of the salient lobbying on H.R. 7248 was completed by other groups, and most of the important decisions had been made, we could not undertake an extensive involvement. Unfortunately, this bill was passed by the house without the restructuring of the E.O.G. However, the Senate passed a bill with the reformed E.O.G. program. Now the bill will go to conference and the Music page three Southeast Asia, welfare, and education. These referendums are not tallied here, but have instead been sent to NSL headquarters in Washington, D.C., for counting. groups, as well as any other interested persons, are asked to meet in the SUB Wednesday, Dec. 1, at 6:30 p.m. to solicit downtown merchants for the party. Also, these same people and anyone else wishing to lend a hand to such a worthy undertaking, are requested to meet in the SUB on Friday, Dec. 17, at 7:30 p.m. to wrap the gifts for the children. and two other students Yanoshik also reported on the recent Council of Presideilis (COP) meeting at University Park, where he represented the Hazleton Campus. Problems common to all of the campuses were discussed, and it was learned that the three most frequent complaints were the parking permit fees, T.V. courses, and Senate policy regarding athe distribution of non- university related publications on the campuses. A vote of the SGA was taken with regard to abolishing this policy due to its unfairness and opposition to student's interests; the representatives voted 6 for, 0 against and 3 abstentions. This vote will be representative of our campus at the next meeting of University Senate. Open business concerned the completion of arrangements for obtaining a new television set for the Student Union Building lounge. differences between the House and Senate versions will be debated and somehow reconciled. Since the Senate passed a bill with a good E.O.G. program (Senate Bill 659) we want to give the Senate members of conference all the support we can on this matter. The Senate Conferees are; Senators Pell, Randolph, Williams, Kennedy, Mondale, Eagleton, Cranston, Dominick, Javits, Schweiker, Beall, and Stafford. In the next few weeks we will approach all of these Senators and attempt to convince them not to "give in" to the House Conferees with regard to the matter of E.O.G. Grants. In other words, we will try to make sure that the Senate doesn't "receed" on the point of the E.O.G. Grants in the conference between the House and the Senate on the Higher Education Act.
