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

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

On Oct. 29, our campus

organization which lobbies the
Congress of the United States
with respect to student
interests and priorities.

Reports to member campuses.
The first results of the
National Student Lobby
referendum are now beginning
to come into the Washington,

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.

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

c) students favor a ban on

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
