On Friday
Robert Kennedy, brother
and campaign manager of
John F. Kennedy, Democratic

speak on campus Friday.
As campaign manager, he leads
the ranks of the "campaigning

brother, Edward; sisters, Eunice

A written statement given to
The Daily Collegian by the .Lib

lieve that the solution to lavish
campaign . expenditures does not
lie in the unwise appropriation of
student funds."
A further consequence of this
SGA action would. be the
abolishment of printed party
platforms, Richard Snyder,
chairman, said at a party meet
ing Sunday. Since printed plat
forms were excluded from the
list of official uses for the mon

for a party to publicize state
ments concerning their ideals
and interests.
The party has been collecting
signatures for a petition since
Saturday, Snyder said, and will
submit the SGA bill to a vote
under Article VII, Section 5-a of
the constitution.
This section states that any
legislation of the Assembly may
be voted upon by the student
body if a petition to this effect
signed by at least 3 per cent of
the students has been received by
the president of the SGA.
Snyder also said that the first
steps have already been taken

that majority and minority par

Snyder said that the bill was

Congo Chaos
Polytechnic College and the
townspeople from San Luis
Obispo, brought together in grief
at a memorial service. Sixteen
members of the school's football
team and six other persons died
in a flaming plane crash at Toledo,
Ohio. Saturday night.
There was none of the blithe,
happy by-play . between stu
dents, no cheery greetings, no
jostling as they massed at the
entrances, just the muted tread
of hundreds of feet moving
slowly toward the seats.
A Presbyterian minister, the
Rev. Ray Herr, gave the invoca
tion.
Robert Kennedy. vice president
of the college, told of the awe
some moment when first word of
the tragedy reached the campus
At that time it was feared all 48
persons aboard the chartered
plane had perished, but there
were survivors.
"For this we are deeply grate
ful," he said. But when he spoke
of the sorrow in the homes of
those who died, muffled sobs rose
from the audience and continued
through the rest of the 20-minute
service.
The three remaining games on
the football schedule have been
canceled.
"I guess everybody will smile
again some time, but it's going to
be an arl ,---, ng time," said

hostess at a 0.

There was no direct reply from
Hammarskjold to Zorin. But the
secretary-general said in answer
to a somewhat similar request
from Polish Ambassador Bohdan
Lewandowski, current president
of the Security Council, that a
new report would be available
about the middle of the week.
"Your inquiry corroborates
my own feeling that time is ripe
for submission to the Security
Council of a new report, now
