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.

had been the scene of picketing

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

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

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

adorned with a partial coat of yellow paint. Identity of
the culprits is unknown.

'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

A group consisting of approx

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

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 - -

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.”

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.

Jeffrey Roberts (Pollock);
Michael Rosenberg (frater
nity); Rena Saffren (Simmons-

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

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.
