N0.'191 Terms in Fro* Charges Called 'Vague by !kW; Editors,Consider Rebuttal By WINNIE BOYLE and MEL AXILBUND The charges made against Froth magazine were termed "vague" yesterday by co-editor Edwin Urie, who said that if the charges are taken apart _point by point the whole document can be dis credited. The charges were presented for maly for the first time Monday at a meeting of the Committee on Student Organizations, which is chaired by George L. Donovan, coordinator of student activities. • The charges, :being pressed by Dorothy J. Lipp, dean of women, and Frank J. Sunes, dean of then, asked for revocation of Froth's charter on the ground that the magazine "is prejudicial to the 'good name of the Pennsylvania State University under whose' name it is published." A DECISION by the committee was postponed until next Tuesday so that Froth would have ade quate time to prepare an answer to the !charges. In discussing possible loopholes In the charges, Urie referred spe cifically,to the section which states tht some of the jokes and stories printed in the magazine are offensive to the majority of readers. Urie said there are no grounds fori this statement. Various legal opinions over the years have given different mean mgs to the terms "salacious" and "libelous" as used in the charges. Dean Lipp and Simes, however, would not comment yesterday cn Mock Election Scheduled A mock election for goveinor of Pennsylvania and for U.S. senator for the state will be held on campus Oct. 31.

URIE SAID he has thought of employing legal counsel : to aid him in ascertaining the meanings of these terms, but had not made any definite decision on the mat ter. , One reason fort his indecision'is that Froth's funds, which .are ad- Ministered by the Associated Stu dent Activities office, have been frozen by Donovan. Urie'said he is not quite sure whether this means the funds may not be used for publication or whether ',this could also prevent the funds from being used to engage an attorney. Donovan said last night that the funds are not frozen as far as en gaging an attorney is concerned. I.Trie said he did not know if Froth would be table to pay a lawyer with the private funds of the editors because he - was uncer tain just how much such a step woUld cost. At the start of Monday's meet ing, the ground rules for the ses sion were agreed ;upon. Both the charges and answers to them were to be given 20 minutes for presen tation and 10 minutes for discus sion and questions.

All three perished. A fighter plane in the area yes terday gave air cover to ground forces guarding the three bodies, but that spotter plane also fell under Communist grod►d fire. The .Ameritan pilot' Irode the fighter down, however, and es tapedwith minor injuries. He was thrown clear when it hit and ex ploded. The raiding operation centers about 220 miles north of Saigon. VIETNAMESE GROUND forces spread across) the, highlands fol lowing intelligence reports that the Communist guerrillas had es tablished a position near Ben Me Thuot, a garrison town where many American advisers are based. Two:Communists were reported slain and several captured.
