Engineers 7 Union Continues Picketing Pond Construction By NANCY EGAN Members of the Operating Engineers Union, Local 66 of Pittsburgh picketed the Pond Laboratory construc tion site again yesterday, apparently without inci dent. Stanley H. Campbell, vice president, for business, said that he had received ”no re ports” on the picketing, and assumed the union was contin uing to conduct an “informa tional” rather than “organiza tional” picket. Designed lo Advertise The informational picket be ing carried out by the engineers is designed solely to advertise the fact that Paul E. Hickes, contractor at the Pond site; is a non-union employer. An organizational picket would protest Hickes’ use of non-union workers if the em ployees themselves wished to join the union. Up to this time, Hickes’ em ployees have not indicated a desire to become unionized. Robert E. Eiche, director of the Altoona Campus, said yes terday that he had not been in formed of the picketing here. The Altoona Campus, which had been the scene of picketing against Hickes by the Carpen- Cloudy, Warmer Weather Expected Abnormally warm weather is expected in Pennsylvania today and tomorrow. Rain may reach the state late tomorrow, but nothing more than mostly cloudy skies or at most a few 'very light showers are expect ed during tomorrow’s big game in Pittsburgh. Some sunshine is forecast for today, and a high of 63 is ex pected. Tonight will be partly cloudy and mild with a low of 45. It should be mostly cloudy tomorrow with a high of 64. \^B?6/ Research Corporation (CIRC). Established this year to at tract new research and devel opment industry and to stimu late the growth of existing in dustry, CIRC is a Common wealth-University agency. Walker, as president of the corporation, heads a board of nine directors. According to the policy state ment, the University will: • Encourage its staff to act as consultants, particular 1 y to Pennsylvania industry. • Encourage the utilization of outstanding industry scientists and engineers in the area to en hance University course offer ings in rapidly advancing fields. • Conduct special courses and symposia for scientists and en gineers. . • Encourage industry’s hiring of advanced students as part time technical and semiprofes sional employees. • Arrange for joint use of re search equipment, libraries and other facilities. Walker said the greatest con tribution the University can make to Pennsylvania’s devel opment is to “carry out with distinction its mission as the state University,” supplying the manpower and knowledge that “form the base of successful re search and development organ izations.” One way that the University can contribute to a “favorable climate for research and devel opment industry is to go out from the campus and offer ed ucational programs where needed,” he added. New Harrisburg Center The President mentioned the University’s plans to open a graduate center at King of Prussia next term, adding that “we contemplate opening a similar center in Harrisburg, where research and . develop me n t industry is growing rapidly.” Walker concluded by saying that the CIRC, is now ready to work with state and federal ag encies, industrial concern s, chambers of commerce and lo cal groups seeking to supple ment the amount of technologi-. cally-oriented industry in! The major Pennsylvania. icurred during ters District Council, AFL-CIO of Pittsburgh, was recently hit by an explosion. ' One closed-in wing of a plan ned dormitory-student union project was damaged by the blast. Investigation Incomplete Although the state police have yet to complete their in vestigation of the bombing, speculation has led to the gen eral belief that the carpenters union may have been involved. Eiche said the authorities are being “very cozy, but rightfully so” in not releasing any of their West Halls Now Receives Telecast Of Class Lectures Many of the television pro grams broadcast over the Uni verstiy’s closed-circuit class room system can now be re ceived in the West Halls area. William F. Fatula, assistant to the vice president for busi ness, announced yesterday that workmen had completed a cable connection between the six West Halls television sets and Sparks Building, where the TV circuit distribution point is located. The connection brings about 46 class periods per week with in easy reach of the area’s residents., Only programs from Sparks and Boucke are being transmitted in the experimen tal program announced Nov. 15. Extension Possible West Halls Council unani mously supported the idea when it was presented by Stanley H. Campbell, vice president for business. The trial is intended to test student re ception of the idea. If it is fa vorable, Campbell said, the program could be extended to Ritenour Health Center and the other residence areas. West Halls was chosen for the test because of its prox imity to Sparks. Using any other area would have involved considerable cost to lay and connect a cable, Leslie P. Greenhill, director of instruc tional services, said last week. BEAT PlTT—Wiih one thought uppermost in their minds, from 200 to 300 students gathered on the Hetzel Union lawn last night to cheer the football team on to Pittsburgh and its battle with the Panthers tomorrow. At another campus location, the Nittany Lion stood lonely and adorned with a partial coat of yellow paint. Identity of the culprits is unknown. Peppy Rally Cheerers 'Unusual Spectators at last night’s pep rally were amazed to behold an unforeseen event: the sight of a group of male students who had donned women’s clothing for the occasion. interruption oc the rally held on findings to the University or the public. The director added that he knows the local authorities, in continuing their investigation, are in "very close touch with the state police headquarters in Harrisburg.” 'No Picketing' Since the bombing almost two weks ago, there has been “no picketing and no violence” at the Altoona Campus, Eiche reported, even though one rep resentative of the carpenters union has been seen near the explosion site. Work is proceeding “apace” pn the damaged dormitory wing, Eiche said. He added that a final esti mate—“almost to the dollar”— of the actual damage incurred by the explosion should be a vailable late next week. HOOTENANNY—Students proved again last night they like a floor as well as a theatre seat when it comes to entertainment. Some 400 persons spread themselves com fortably on the floor of the Hetzel Union ballroom to FOR A BETTER PENN STATE UNIVERSITY PARK,' PA., FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 22, 1963 Initiate Attire' the lawn of the Hetzel Union Building. A group consisting of approx imately 34 to 50 Nittany area men, wearing various personal items of feminine attire, march ed through the crowd uttering cries of “beat Pitt.” Given Voluntarily According to Fred Roberts (Ist - business administration- Glenside), spokesman for the various marchers, the apparel was distributed by coeds in many residence areas on a “vol untary basis.” Roberts also announced at the pep rally that the articles of clothing are to be taken to Pittsburgh and used as banners for tomorrow's game. The rabblerousers had an exciting evening, as they made a tour of a major part of the campus dressed in their rather unusual raiment. They march ed through Pollock,'Simmons, McElwain, Atherton and South Halls residence areas in search of articles of clothing. Into USG Meeting Next they turned their atten tion to the HUB, where they moved through the Lion’s Den, then upstairs and into the midst of an Undergraduate Student Government meeting. Having broken up a lecture in progress on the main floor of the HUB, the men advanced to the pep rally, which they preceded to disrupt in an ef fort to augment school spirit. The rally’s festivities were embellished by the presentation of the outstanding senior foot ball player’s award to Bernie Sabol and the School Spirit award to the brothers of Phi Sigma Delta fraternity. EEC Seen Favored in Poultry War GENEVA (/P) —An inde pendent panel of experts leaned in favor of the Euro pean Economic Community (EEC) yesterday in an arbi tration move aimed at end ing the 17-month-old chicken war with the United States. Nevertheless, the U.S. govern ment accepted the panel’s find ing. The five-man panel, appoint ed by the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), said the amount of damage to U.S. trade with West Germany should be based on an average of $26 million annually. West Germany took more than 80 per cent of U.S. poultry exports to the Common Market before that trade group raised its tariffs. U.S. Figures The United States had main tained the damage should be based on an average of 546 mil lion a year but the panel’s fig ure came much closer to the $l9 million figure put forward by the Common Market. In Washington, Christian A. Herter, President Kennedy’s) chief trade negotiator, said that though the figure is “lower than our calculations it is a judgment rendered by a panel of distinguished individuals who are thoroughly familiar with GATT practices and pro cedures and it will therefore be accepted by the United States in good faith.’’ The panel’s decision is not legally binding. Committee Appointed USG Passes By-Laws Bill To a background of spirited cheers from the pep rally on the Hetzel Union lawn, the Undergraduate Student Gov ernment passed legislation de fining the duties of the by-laws committee by a majority of 24-1. In order to minimize the time spent by Congress in con stitutional revision, the bill states that constitutional and by-laws .amendments and elec tion code, revisions may be placed on the agenda no more than twice a term. The com mittee will screen all such amendments before they are placed on the agenda. The committee is also re quired to review the entire constitution, by-laws and elec tions code at least once a year. Congress will elect the chan - - hear and sing folk music. The Folklore Society provided an extra for those at the Hootenanny with good hearing— a genuine demonstration of cheering and a live pep rally on the HUB lawn. GOP Scores JFK Blunder' WASHINGTON, (fP) President Kennedy got a thorough raking over yesterday by Republican congressional leaders whd said his “legislative program is in a mess” and he can blame his own mismanagement and blunders. Senate GOP leader Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois complained of “a faltering effort now under way by apologists for the White House to blame Congress.” It will fail, he said, declaring: “The blame lies squarely on the White House doorstep” and the facts wil lshow it. Dirksen said: “In the final an alysis, it is President Kenne dy’s own mismanagement of his legislative program that has kept Congress in session since last January and everybody in Washington knows it.” Total Failure Rep. Charles A. Halleck of In diana, the party’s House leader, said the Kennedy regime “adds up to almost total failure for what undoubtedly will be known as the three empty years.” “With the Democrats in con trol of .the White House and ev ery government agency and with a two-to-one majority in the Senate and a three-to-one majority in the House of Repre sentatives, Mr. Kennedy can have no alibi,” Halleck said. “Any censure of Congress is a censure of the Democratic par ty and of the lack of presiden tial leadership.” Dirksen and Halleck tore into Kennedy with . prepared state ments and in reply to questions at their weekly news conference, known as “The Ev and Charley Show.” 1 Opposes Plan Halleck said he is opposed to the Democratic leadership’s an nounced plan to recess Congress over the Christmas and New Year’s holiday, come back for Sine Die adjournment Jan. 2. and start the new session Jan. 3 as the Constitution specifies. Halleck said the 1964 session should open somewhat later than Jan. 3 Dirksen accused Kennedy of two major blunders. “First.” Dirksen said, "he proposed that taxes be cut while he increased federal deficit spending. "This unprecedented proposal not only met heavy opposition in Congerss, but reliable samples of public opinion showed the American people were also op posed to a tax cut without a cut in spending.” Second, he said, had the Presi dent kept a campaign promise to submit major civil rights legis lation in 196 i, “new civil rights statutes would have been on the books before demonstrations and violence were ever precipi tated.” man of the committee and approve his appointment of members. Half of them must be members of Congress. The USG Supreme Court Chief Justice and the Rules commit tee chairman will sit as ex officio members of the com mittee. Commiilee Appointed Following passage of the bill Whiton Paine (town) was unanimously elected By-Laws committee chairman. He appointed the following member’s of the committee: Gregory Baurnes (Nittany); George Dove, USG parliamen tarian; John German (town); Barbara Lennox (Simmons- McElwain); Phyllis Merion, by laws committee member at Ogontz; Stephanie Mooney' (South); Anne Morris, former Soviets Down Iron Plane as Brezhnev Offers Aid to Shah TEHRAN, Iran (fP) As visiting Soviet President Leonid I. Brezhnev addressed Parliament, the govern ment announced yesterday that Soviet jet fighters had shot down an Iranian plane over Iran. News of the incident spread through Parliament as members listened to Brezhnev .offer Soviet aid and urge cul tural exchanges. Two Killed A government announcement said two aerial officials were killed and the pilot was injured Wednesday when three Soviet fighters shot down an unarmed aerial survey plane near Darg haz in northeast Iran. The town lies near the Soviet border, 90 miles northwest of Meshed, capital of Iran’s Khur asan Province. The plane—under charter to the government—was making a survey in the arid, mountain ous province for a land distri bution program, a pet project of the Shah of Iran. No Provocation Contradicting earlier official reports, the injured pilot told Iranian officials he had not lost his way and was flying in clear visibility directly over Darghaz when the Soviet planes appeared. The pilot said they opened fire without warning. First acounts had said the plane strayed over Soviet soil, was challenged and flew back to Iran. Reports from the/area said the plane caught fire and ex ploded. Presumably the pilot bailed out. Poor Timing The incident could not have come at a worse time for the Soviet Union. For years it has been trying to woo Iran away from the United States, which gives this nation economic and military, aid. Iran is a member of the anti communist Central Treaty Or ganization (CENTO). Relations between Iran and the Soviet Union had improved recently. Brezhnev is making his state visit to Iran to press the Soviet case for closer rela tions. By-Laws committee chairman. Jeffrey Roberts (Pollock); Michael Rosenberg (frater nity); Rena Saffren (Simmons- McElwain); Alan Smerican (town); and Michael Stoll (fra ternity). It was announced at the meeting that John McDonald (Pollock) was removed from Congress because he does not have the required 2.0 all-Uni versity avei-age necessary for membership. No Transcript Submitted Although a transcript must be submitted in order to run for Congress, McDonald’s sta tus as a write-in candidate did not necessitate a statement of average. In spite of McDonald’s re moval, two bills previously in troduced by him received final readings and then were de feated by Congress. The bills ‘enumerated the duties of con gressmen and the Supreme Court. Two final resolutions were passed to commend the Penn State Blue Band for outstand ing performance at the Ohio State game and the Adminis trative Committee on Student Affairs for liberalization of rules allowing women to visit men’s apartments. Prof Will Study Effects of Smog Compounds in smog which are detrimental to human be ings will be studied at the University. The research, subsidized un der a renewal grant of 88,365 from the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Wel fare, is directed by I. C. Hi satsune, associate professor of chemistry. Hisatsune will study specula tion that smog is cancer-pro ducing. Because little is known about the basic structure of the com pounds, his research will be directed to determine their physical and chemical proper ties. Politician or Governor? -See Page 2 FIVE CENTS Committee Seeks Place For Statues Two bronze sculptures of Abraham Lincoln, recently purchased by the Univers ity, are temporarily without a home. The University Art Committee met yesterday to consider an appropriate location for the two statues, which are temporarily located in the Old Main office of Robert G. Bernreuter, special assistant to the President for student affairs. Among the tentative sugges tions was a proposal to place one of the statues in a prominent place in the Hetzel Union Build ing and the other in Old Main. Interesting Contrast The committee agreed that the three dimensional head of Lin coln would present an interesting contrast to the Lincoln portrayed on the flat surface fresco along the staircase in Old Main. It was also thought appropriate that the bronze head of Lincoln should reside in the building which bears his words above its doors. Created by the late American sculptor, George Grey Barnard, the statues were cast in bronze from plaster casts loaned to the University by Swarthmore Col lege. One of the sculptures, a four foot figure was the study for a larger statue, the original of which is in Cincinnati, Ohio. The other, a head of the ex-president, closely resembles the marble bust in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. Will Meet Again The committee plans to meet several times in the near future before it comes to a final de cision on the best place to dis play the sculptures. Jules Heller, dean of the Col lege of Arts and Architecture, said yesterday that any sugges tions by students as to where the statues should be placed will be welcomed by the committee. Students with any specific ideas may submit their sugges tions at Heller's office in 127 Sackett. University Drafts Regulations for Voluntary ROTC University officials have completed the outline of the policies which will govern the switch from compulsory to vol untary ROTC. The regulations were drafted to implement a decision made by the Board of Trustees in June, when a University Sen ate proposal was ratified. The end of the spring term, 1964, will mark the end of the compulsory program. However, freshmen entering the University beginning with the spring term, 1964, will not be required to enroll in the program. Male students enter ing the University after the summer term, 1963, must com plete three terms of ROTC to meet graduation requirements. This regulation applies only to those men who matriculated at a campus which offers the basic ROTC program. Before Summer Term Students who entered before the summer term will still be required to complete six terms of ROTC in order to be eligible for graduation. John R. Rackley, vice presi dent for resident instruction, said recently that information on the ROTC programs will be given each group of incoming students during the orientation programs. Since most orienta tion programs are compulsory, men will probably be required to attend those sessions deal ling with ROTC, Rackley said.
