HoffaChargesßepudiated
By Teamsters Convention
MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Oct. 2 (11))----The Teamsters conven
tion tonight overwhelmingly repudiated corruption charges
leveled at James R. Hoffa, Dave Beck and other Teamsters
bosses by the AFL-CIO.
The-AFL-CIO report detai
closures before the Senate Rai
was read of the convention. It
took about two hours as delegates
listened silently. . .
Then the delegates howled ap
proval of a motion to expunge the
AFL-CIO charges from the con
vention record.
This action followed a move by
Jeffery Cohelan, an Oakland,
Calif., delegate, to have Hoffa,
Beck and others named in ' the
AFL-CIO charges answer to the
i
delegates. He propo ed a union
investigation on the harges. This
was overwhelmingly rejected.

Flash Card System
To Be Discarded
Hat Society Council has voted to discontinue the flash
card system for this football season because it would be "im
practical."
The council acted on the recommendation of John Coller,
head cheerleader, who cited three main reason for the "pre
vious failure" of the system.

After the voting, Hoffa took the
convention floor to make a de
fense of the corruption charges
against him. He had been accused
by the Senate Rackets Committee
of misusing union funds and us
ing union powers for his own
gain.
Efforts of anti-Hoffa forces to
obtain a union probe. of the cor
ruption charges were booed - and
shouted down. Cohelan, in pro
posing an investigation, said:
"If this convention is foolish
enough to sweep this' (the AFL
CIO charges) from the record and
ignore the very serious charges
made here, we would stand be

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
;4 .
Coller said that Beaver Field is
not conducive to a good flash card
program because it is not high
enough and does not have a steep
enough slope. He also said a lack
of student interest in the' past
could be corrected only by the
establishment of the system as a
regular campus activity.
toiler said the most effective
location for a card section 'is in
the vicinity of the 50-yard line,
a section which definitely is not
available, according to the ath
letic office.
The council directed flash card
cochairmen Sally Jervis and Max
Perhnutter to send inquiries to
colleges with successful card sys
tems.
If the council can subsequently
work out a better system it will
be tried during the next football
season; otherwise the program
will be abolished completely, it
