The piece was —Collegian Photo by John Beague HERE TODAY, GONE TOMORROW: That was the story .of this display which mysteriously appeared in the Hetzel Union Building lounge early yesterday morning. During the day many students stopped 10 look at it before it was removed in the late afternoon.

"Who made money and who lost it probably will never be known," Austin said. "We have given a clear notice to all students that this kind of activity just can't go on, Austin added. Students who participate in this type of activity after the warning will be dealt with more strictly," he said. As of now it appears that little can be done about the letter. Hor ace Segelbaum, counsel for the Liquor Control Board, said in the article that the board is looking into the letters but so far has come up with a blank, The only possible violation on the board's regulations would occur if a minor or an intoxi. cated 'person received the liquor. "If a person wants to buy a bottle of liquor and give it away, there is nothing the board can do about it," Segelbaum explained. By JOAN MEHAN L ;~~~- done originally as a gift for President Eric A. Walker after he had returned from making a speech in Washington, D.C. The speech in which Walker spoke on the University and how it related to the needs of people and nations served as her inspi ration, said Mrs. Cutler. The display which was put up between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m. Sun day caused controversy when members of the TOCS organi zation thought it was deroga tory towards their group. The art department also felt that collage distracted from the paintings of Stuart H. Frost, in structor in art, which are cur rently being exhibited in the HUB galleries. The collage was put up anony mously because, Mrs. Cutl'2r said, she wanted others 'to add to it and not consider it the work of only one person." It was taken down at 5:15 p.m. yesterday by George L. Donovan, co-ordinator of student activities. and members of the HUB staff. Donovan, who authorized the display, said, "I don't understand the significance of the display but know it was put up in the spirit of fun." Edwin R. Fitzgerald, associate professor of physics ,and a TOCS member, said that he felt the dis play was in praise of them." •Mrs. Cutler explained. however, that she thinks that TOCS is a "terrific organization and the dis play was in praise of them." Edward L. Mattill, associate professor of art education, said that he thought the purpose of the collage was to stimulate dis cussion and was done with "no malicious intent." He added that "it was stimulating but untimely." Frost said•that "the display was not directed at me and didn't con cern me." Frost also said, howev er, that the area had been re served by the art department and he didn't feel that anything else should have been put up.

Joseph Mobutu, Congo army's chief, said yes terday his forces have sur rounded Stanleyville, strong hold of ex-Premier Patrice Lumumba's Communist-lean ing lieutenants.

The question barrage heralded the voting in SGA elec- tions which begins today and continues through tomorrow. Polls will be open both days from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Boucke, Wil lard and on the first floor of the Hetzel Union Building. A voting booth will be open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on the ground floor of the HUB. Discussing party platforms, Nancy Williams, University candidate for junior assembly man, said her party advocates consolidation of student gov ernment groups into a confed eration under SGA. The coor dination would provide for unity in student government and would give student views more strength, she added. She emphasized, however, that the consolidation would be "grad ual," and that the groups con cerned would work together in planning the confederation, which would eliminate their working at cross purposes. SGA would not be given ultimate powers over these groups, she added. Independent candidates and those from Campus party felt the move would lead to "red tape" in SGA affairs. Wayne Ulsh, independent can didate for junior assemblyman, !asked whether SGA should not use the strength given under its constitution rather than adding to its organization. Moving to another plank, Go !mer Williams, independent can didate for sophomore class presi !dent, said he was "positive" the (Campus party's oroposed plan of !action would not work. I Williams Said he learned from Gov. David Lawrence's assistant press secretary that powers over ROTC, parking problems and ; physical education program do• I not lie with the governor and the legislature but with the University administration. Campus party's plan proposes! writing and going to the governor! and state legislature about such! matters if the University admin istration does not take action on! SGA-approved legislation. Williams suggested instead that the plan of action be ap plied to the University Board of Trustees. . Nancy Williams said that they governor and legislature were oc-1 cupied with state government, adding that , Campus party's plan! was "not realistic" and would! serve to antagonize the adminis-! tration and trustees. Dennis Eisrnan, Campus party candidate for junior assembly man, countered that he would like to make one of the governor's problems the University students' . point of view. Eisrnan said he felt the intent of the proposal had been "twisted." It is to he an ap peal to a pressure group to make the students' problems known and to get action on them, he added. the city if either the United Arab Republic or Sudan try to send arms to Stanleyville. He also threatened to cut off some Nile headwaters in the Con go vital to both the U.A.R. and Sudan, if necessary. Mobutu ordered the U.A.R. dip lomatic mission out of the Congo last week, charging it was trying to restore Lumumba to power. Sudan works closely with the U.A.R. A triumvirate of former Dep uty Premier Antoine Gizenga, Lumumba's younger brother Louis, and Bernard Salumu, a former Lumumba secretary, rules Stanleyville. The three Platforms Attacked In Debate By MEG TEICHHOLTZ The problems of implement ing a student-run bookstore was the main issue in a debate last night between two inde pendent candidate's for SGA assembly and three Campus party candidates. The debate was the result of a challenge made last week by Dennis Eisman, vice-chairman of Campus party and .candidate for his party for junior assembly man, to debate all candidates on the University Party ticket and ,all "independent" candidates: The University party did not 'appear at the debate and Michael ,Lazorchak, chairman of Univer sityi Party said last night that he Iliad not been officially contacted by the elections commission about lit. , Robert Umstead, chairman of :the commission. told Collegian last night that since Eisman had challenged the other parties openly through his letter in Fri day's Collegian, he had not acted in officially informing the other candidates. During the debate Wayne Ulsh, independent candidate for junior assemblyman, asked Eisman to clarif" his party's :;tend on es tablishing a non-profit student hook store. Eisman said that from what he can determine publishers permit a mark-up of between 20 and 40 per cent on textbooks and that the reasons SGA in the past has not (been able to establish a bookstore ,was because of pressure from the .downtown merchants who would lose money. ' Both candidates' platforms in clude a plank on establishing a bookstore, but Eisman said that should future efforts in thiS di rection not be accepted by the ad ministration, his party will bring the views of the students to the attention of the Governor of Pennsylvania .and the State Leg islature in accordance with their platforms. Ulsh countered that more direct action could be taken if the views of the students were taken to the Board of Trustees of the Univer sity. threaten to set up an independ ent state in Oriental Pro4ince in reprisal for Lumumba's ar rest. A U.N. official denied reports that Oriental Province already had seceded from the Congo, say ing: "Secession may come one day, but it has certainly not come yet." He said reports were received from Stanleyville Monday saying Salumu had scheduled a series of public meetings to discuss the fu ture of the province. Salumu told newsmen in Stanleyville Friday the province wants to remain [ part of the Congo, provided Lu mumba is recognized as head of the legitimate government.
