Lyndon Baines Johnson swept
the election yesterday with a
smashing landslide, amassing 56
per cent of the 41 million votes
cast, at midnight.
Johnson jumped into the lead
at the very start, winning Ken
tucky, a state that had gone Re
publican in the last two elections,
With this auspicious beginning,
his lead was never in doubt. State
after state fell to hint, including
such big ones as Ohio, New York,
Illinois; Michigan and Pennsyl
vania.
In the District of Columbia,
now predominantly Negro and
voting in a presidential election
for the first time in 164 years,
the results were a Johnson vic
tory by over 90 per cent.
Early returns showed Johnson
ahead by better than 5 to 1. New
Jersey, Connecticut, and Ken
tucky confirmed this percentage.
Democrat Robert F. Kennedy
apparently won the U.S. Senate
seat from New York, defeating
incumbent Republican Kenneth B.
Keating. With 37 per cent of the
vote counted, Kennedy had 1,-

Walker Receives
Alumnus Letter
A current campaign on the
part of a group of prominent
alumni to revive Froth, the Uni

In the second alumni letter
addressed to University Presi

Bonn, member of the New York
office of CBS News, hit upon the
Froth issue.
In his letter Bonn asked the

reappearance under mutually
agreeable safeguards."
Alumni Opponent
Bonn stated that in the past
he has been "a vigorous op
ponent of alumni involvement
with the operations of the Old
School "because in most cases
he feels it "tends to be delete
rious, a nuisance and overly con
cerned with football.
He went on to say that the
"stricken old Froth was, and, if
we (the group of 24 alumni) can
persuade you (President
Walker), will again be an edu
cational tool a major one,
of the most valuable."
"Just about the last course of
action I should expect the Uni
versity to take would he to lock
out permanently one of the very
few vehicles that allowed serious
yes, serious students of
journalism and the written arts
to learn their trade in vivo.
Ready, Willing
"I join the others in the will
ingness to put our money, minds,
and what talents we possess,
where our mouths are."
Bonn added, "I am not making
any brief for any particular issue
of Froth, nor am I in this
instance referring to any past
action, either by the magazine
or by the University.
"I am simply urging that the
future can and should include
the Penn State Froth . . . not
merely on the suffrance of the
University, but with the active
realization that it is for the good
of the University . . . however
painful that concept might ap
pear at first blush."

Kennedy's margin did not ap
proach that of President Johnson,
who overwhelmed Sen. Barry
Goldwater in New York. But
while winning as expected in
Democratic New York City, Ken
nedy also ran well ahead of Keat
ing in many normally Republican
upstate counties.
Republican incumbent Hugh
Scott, with over 80 per cent of
the votes tallied, led his oppo
nent, Genevieve Blatt, by approxi
mately 30,000 votes. ,
The 63-year-old Scott fought in
the face of a Johnson landslide
that gave Democrats victory in
Pennsylvania in a presidential
race for only the fifth time in
this century.
Ticket splitting complicated the
returns in Pennsylvania in the
tense battle for the Senate seat.
Both the Republican Scott and
the Democratic Clark won their
offices in the face of victories by
the opposition party in the ticket
heading offices of governor and
President.

Staff Selection
A librarian has already been
hired and a business manager
will be hired soon, Walker added.
Faculty selection will begin in
the near future.
Walker mentioned the prob-:
ability of three more Common
wealth campuses in the eastern
part of the state. These would
complement creation of the three
new centers recently approved
for the Uniontown, Sharon and
Beaver areas.
He said the eastern centers
would have to meet criteria of
the University and the State
Council for Higher Education if
they are to be approved.
The President also called for
creation of a "basket appropria
tion" of state funds which would

specific purpose. Proceeds from
the "basket" could be appropri
ated by the University as it
sees fit.
Report Approved
In other business, the Senate
approved a report by the Sen
ate Committee on Educational

ment of distinctions between the

The present report grew from
rejection of a report made to

recommended that a B.S. or

MOSE ALLISON
'Jazzman'
To Exhibit
Distinction
In the South he's considered an
advanced be-bop type—in New
York, a country blues folk type.
But Mose Allison's own distinc
tive style of singing and piano
playing is aimed at pleasing the
whole audience.
By basing his songs on every
day events, Allison allows his
listeners to relate to the context,
and ends up coming right down
to the blues.
There is humor in Allison's
songs, and an attitude bred into
him during his boyhood in the
Mississippi delta country, where
'life is an easygoing as the river.
An example of a point of view
'he describes as "Dionysian or
Bacchic," Allison has named one
of his albums "I Don't Worry
About a Thing." He calls the
title song "almost a party tune,"
taken from a saying Southern
farmers use a lot "I don't
worry about a thing, because
nothing's going to be all right."
During the mid-1950's Allison
added the New York influence to
his style, playing piano with
Stan Getz, Gerry Mulligan, Al
Cohn and Zoot Sims,
Although he now feels his
piano style has evolved into
something very much his own,
Allison has cited some far-back
influences: Nat Cole, Erroll
Garner, John Lewis and Thelon
ious Monk.
His singing voice—frequently
compared to that of Hoagy Car
michael—has been deeply in
fluenced by Sonny Boy William
son, John Lee Hooker, Lightnin'
Hopkins and Percy Mayfield.
Central Pennsylvania will have
an opportunity to sample the
blending of these geographical
and musical influences when
Mose Allison, along with two
sidemen whose names have not
yet been announced, comes to
Schwab Saturday.
Tickets for the performance
are available at the Jazz Club
booth in the Hetzel Union Build
ing or Nittany News, at $1.75, or
$1.25 for Jazz Club members.

The $15,000 WDFM Trans
mitter Fund drive will open at
9 a.m. this morning with a booth
opposite the Hetzel Union as
sembly room. All students, fac-
silty and administrators may
make donations to the cause.
The booth will be maintained
from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. today through
Friday, and additional booths
will be established next week. In
addition, contributions from in
dividuals or organizations, may
be mailed to Box 261, State Col
lege, or brought to the office
of The Daily Collegian, base
ment of Sackett.
The booth will be maintained
today by members of University
and Liberal parties. All three
campus political parties have
pledged their support for the
I campaign.
Gary Legon, chairman of Uni
versity Party, said last night
the party would assist in campus
solicitation for the WDFM fund.
James Conahan, chairman of
Campus Party, and Brian Sher
wood, chairman of Liberal Par
ty, have made similar pledges
to assist the campaign.
Forced Off Air
Appeals for funds to replace
WDFM's nea r 1 y 30-year-old
transmitter will be made to
students, faculty and administra
tive personnel, alumni and bor
ough residents. The present
transmitter has forced the cam
pus radio station to go off the
air numerous times during the
past term for emergency re
pairs.
Kenneth Hershberger, station ,
manager, has estimated that al
transmitter adequate fo
WDFM's needs would cost the'
full $15,000. Such a transmitter is
"imperative" if WDFM is to
continue to operate, he said. l
Hershberger has prepared a
10-minute slide presentation of
the WDFM situation, which he
will show to interested major
campus organizations. The pro
grain will point out difficulties
under which the station has been
operating and will cite the need
for a new transmitter.
Promoters of the fund drive
emphasized last night individual
contributions will play a key
role in the success or failure of
the campaign. Without support
from the entire University pop
ulation, efforts of interested stu
dents in keeping WDFM alive
may fail, they said.

Goldwater called this a lie, and
he said no American would start
a war. .
Goldwater also campaigned on
a "morality in • government"
theme, especially criticizing John
son's association in his Senate
days with Bobby Baker, a Senate
employee who resigned under
fire during inquiries into his
money-making outside deals.
A factor that could not be fully
weighed was the late-in-the-cam

The Undergraduate Stu

WDFM Transmitter Fund
drive with a $l,OOO dona
tion, Ronald Faucher, USG

Commenting on the USG
gift. Faucher said,. ". . . we
(USG) hope this money will
serve as a model for other stu
dent organizations and the stu
dent body as a whole to fol
low."
He said the student • radio
station "provides such a vital
service for the University and
the student body that it must
be allowed to continue its op
eration."
There would be one stipula
tion to the USG donation, how
ever, Faucher said.
Excess Returned •
This is that "if once the
transmitter is purchased there
should be any excess of funds,
the $l,OOO or as much of it as
possible shall be returned to
the Undergraduate Student
Government."
This money would then be
put in a special USG fund set
aside for the purchase of resi
dence hall transponders, which
convert FM radio signals to
AM, Faucher commented.
The $l,OOO donation, along
with some $2,200 more in USG
appropriations, will still have
to be voted upon and passed
at tomorrow night's 7 p.m.
Congress meeting, before it is
official, the vice president
stated.
Kenneth Hershberger, station
manager of WDFM, will pre
sent a ten-minute color slide
film on "the background, his
tory, organization and oper
ation of WDFM," at the meet
ing.
- All interested students are
invited to attend, Faucher said.
The bulk of $2,200, some
$1,560, has been designated for
this year's Spring Arts Festi
val. According to Faucher, the
Spring Arts Festival will also
solicit funds from downtown
merchants in an attempt to
raise another $5OO that is
needed.
In addition, $2OO is to be
alloted to the USG Cultural
Congress.
This group is in charge of
organizing and presenting next
year's Projection program. Ac
cording to USG officials, Pro
jection which will take place
next fall, is to feature Univer
sity personnel, instead of pay
ing outside performers to come
in as planned at the project's
inception.
A $4OO appropriations bill
will also come before Congress
tomorrow evening for approv
al. Tltis money is for the third
Annual Model United Nations.
Faucher said $5OO was al
loted for the event last year,
but the total amount was not
used..
