The evening's spotlight fell on Delta Chi, which swept to vic tories in the open and quartet competition. Delta Chi's Myron Kerstetter garnered top "open" honors with a solo rendition of "Tonight," while the fraternity's quartet sang "Coney Island Park Medley" and "Stranger in Para dise." ALPHA GAMMA RHO, whose chorus offered a vocal "toast" to its fraternity, was awarded the first place trophy in the fraternity group . competition. Kappa Kappa Gamma notched Senior Class Board Suggests Loan Fund By LARRY LAMB This is the first in a series of four articles on the• Senior Class gift proposals.) Establishment of a student loan fund was one of the four proposals recently issued by the Senior Class Advisory Board regarding dedication of the Senior Class Gift Fund. SUCH A FUND would contain an initial deposit'of $7,800, Randy Carter, president of the'-senior class, said. All repaid loans and the interest earned on them would be returned to the fund. In this manner the fund would be as sured of yearly growth beyond the initial deposit. , The purpose of the loan fund would be to aid students who need financial assistance to meet their colle:e ex.enses, he said.' Under this plan, - full-time stu dents working for either a bacca laureate or associate degree would be eligible for a loan, he said. Applicants must have a minimum 2.0 Ml-University average, show FORA BETTER PENN STATE Kappa Alpha Theta sororities took second and third places in the sorority groups and Acacia and Tau Kappa Epsilon won the second and third places in the fraternity contest. first place in the sorority group competition as its chorus sang "We Are United," extolling the organization's intra-sorority unity: Top honors in the sorority quar tet competition fell to Delta Delta Delta, whose foursome, bedecked in appropriate rural Southern at tire, sang "Bluetail Fly" and "Shortnin' Bread.". The quintet of Alpha Omicron Pi, which presented a medley of American folk songs, copped the first place award among sorori ties in the open category. The especially keen competi tion produced a host of disap pointed runners-up. In the fraternity group cate gory, Acacia , garnered the first runner-up position and Tau Kap pa Epsilon the second runner-up post. First and second runners-up in fraternity quartet singing were Tau Kappa Epsilon and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, while Alpha Zeta and Sigma Pi gained the first and second posts in open crooning. evidence of need and be of good character. Applications would be received and reviewed by the Director of Student Aid Ralph N. Krecker, who would then select award re cipients. Although any student could ap ply for a loan,. preference' in selection would be given to those students nearest graduation, Car ter said. He said both short and long term loans would be available to students from the fund. A maxi mum of $5OO per year is the pro posed limit to a single student, he added. NO INTEREST on any loan would accrue until the student graduated or left school for some other reason. Interest on the prin ciple would be 2 per cent for the first year, 4 per cent for the sec ond year and 6 per, cent for each succeeding year. There is a definite need for a loan fund of this type since many scholarships and funds are re stricted to certain curriculums or depend upon the employer of the student's father, Carter said.

Approval by For Campus • By TONY FOGLIO The proposal for one board of directors for all major student media outlined by H. Eugene Goodwin, director of the School of Journalism, Thursday would have to be approve'd by the Uni versity Senate before it could be implemented, Robert G. Bern reuter, said yesterday. Bernreu ter is special assistant to the President for student affairs. GOODWIN'S proposal would entail a change in policy, Bern reuter said, and the Administra tive Committee on Student Or ganizations, of which he is chair man, does not have the power to consider or approve it. All policy changes are under' the Senate's jurisdiction, he said. His committee' would the out the mechanics" of the pro posal by esto , l'on;nct this board Hijac ers E /ale Air, aval Searci CARACAS, Venezuela (IP) Communist terrorists com manding the hijacked Venezuelan freighter Anzoatcgui con tinually eluded search planes and ships of the United States and Venezuela yesterday. A thick overcast moved into the Caribbean from Puerto Rico, providing possible cover for the vessel. U.S. and Venezuelan officials repeatedly said they did not know the ship's whereabouts and that reports she had been sighted by American Navy planes Thursday 200 miles south of the Dominican Republic were erron eous, The freighter was seized Tues day night -by members of the Armed Forces for National Lib eration (FALN) after she left for the United States. Prime Mini.-der Fidel Castro's government broadcast an offer to give the terrorists asylum if they could bring the ship into Cuba. There had been reports the ter rorist band would try to take the freighter to the Cuban port of San tiago or—failing that—to Mexico. AN OFFICIAL at the State De partment said chances arc remote for the ship reaching Cuba with out detection. He did not elabor ate, but presumably he meant U.S. Navy craft used in the Cuban blockade last October would lo cate the Anzoategui if she came anywhere near Cuba. The first thing the United States will do if American search craft locate the vessel is to tell the Ven ezuelans and let them make the capture, the official said. In Washington, Pentagon sources said last night that "we have a good reason to believe" the vessel has not reached Cuban waters. _ . The spokesman said U.S. ships and planes were concentrating their search In the southern Carib bean, from Venezuela northward toward the West Indies and Cuba, but he declined to say how many U.S. ships and planes are being used in the search. Unofficial reports in Caracas said, however,- the Navy got three destroyers into the hunt for the Pvemy Mvhs ENtenrcien Frvike To Turn Reanch irolo Prethrlis President Eric A. Walker pro posed a business extension service similar to the highly successful agricultural extension service yes terday. THE PURPOSE would be to turn scientific research into con sumer products and services, he explained. Walker made the proposal while speaking before the Directors of Industrial Research. He said the nation is being short-changed on its research dollar because no proven method exists for system atically converting knowledge in new products. "I would like to propose that our need for the application of knowledge to human welfare and human desires is greater today than our need for accumulating more knowledge," Walker said. Senate Required Media Pro!posal of directors if the Senate were to approve it, Bernreuter said. The proposal is not presently under consideration by the Sen ate, he said, but it could be pre sented at any time. Goodwin, as a member of the Senate by virtue of his position, or any other sena tor, can exercise his right to bring the proposal before the policy body, Bernreuter added. Goodwin declined to comment on than statement other than to say he still thinks it (the proposal) is a good idea and that he is "aware of the difficulties in implementing it. "I'd be very happy to work with any student, faculty or adminis trative group in bringing all stu dent communications under one independent board of directors," he added. Althoveli the plan mi"ht very Anzoategui. Only two of Vene zuela's six destroyers arc believed operat lona I. The U.S. assistance to Vene zuela, at the request of President Romulo Betancourt's government, began Thursday but was not con firmed by the Pentagon until yes terday, Venezuela ha also asked the navies of Brazil, Colombia, Pan ama, the Dominican fit public and Costa Rica to help in the hunt. One extremist paper in Caracas hris reported that the PALI , / nun nien—said to number nine—had steered the hijacked ship south wai d toward Brazil, which grant ed rc'fune to Portuglic.ze Capt.

THE FALN gunmen aboard the Anzoategui responded to a radio message from The Associated Press in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Declining to give their de.-itina tion, the FALN /implicit said only they had seized the ship as a "pa triotic act" against the Betancourt government. Venezuelan Foreign Minister Marcos Falcon Briceno has brand ed the seizure an act of piracy and declared that under international law the terrorists arc , bribie to arrest by any nation and must face trial by the capturing emintry. But U.S. authorities in Wash ington said the United Stales had entered the search on Ihe ha is of a reat"l from Venezuela and not under international niravy laws. Research isn't paying Off Or un employment wouldn't persist, the President contended in explaining that research expenditure; have doubled in the last decade while unemployment has continued at about live :ad ohe hail per cent of the woik force. WALKER PREDICTED his pro posed approach would result in the production of large numbers of new highly desirable products that will improve the standard of living and add to the work force. In the development of more sophisticated products such as jet planes and electronic computers, Walker suggested that manage ment rather that research becomes the critical factor. fie also suggested that failures i of products should be studied to I determine the reasons fur failure. well be feasible, certain difficul ties as to the board of directors' composition, powers and jurisdic tion would have to be resolved first, he said. ONE DIFFICULTY which Bernreuter enumerated has al ready presented itself in the cur rent delays over the reinstate ment of Froth, the campus humor magazine whose charter was re voked last fall by the University. This problem consists' of find ing enough faculty members who are willing to staff the board of directors, he said. The pre sent concept of com munications' hoards is that they are staffed with "part-time peo ple," he said. The new board, if created, would require a full time operation, he explained. Another obstacle would be to (Continued on poke eight)
