Weather Forecast: Partly Cloudy, Clear, Cold VOL. 65, No. 58 Walker Says Student Rights Issue Merits Concern, Not Alarm By RICHARD SPAGNOLLI President Eric A. Walker yesterday apolo gized to members of the University faculty during a public address for unpleasant rami fications following his remarks last month on the Berkeley situation. Referring to his comments made before the Greater Philadelphia Club, Walker said, "Let me say that if any newspaper reports of comments I am alleged to have made in con nection with this subject have offended any of you, I am truly sorry. "Perhaps I let an unbridled sense of hu mor run away with me. If I have damaged your reputation, or the reputation of the pro fession, let me at least say it was not my in tent to do so. I am sorry, and I offer you my most sincere apologies." The President also touched broadly on is sues of student rights, specifically mentioning the issues of student government, Froth, and solicitation of funds. Student Rights Commenting on student rights, Walker said, "One of the current problems that seems to be facing colleges and universities through out the nation, is the problem of increased tensions between students and administration and between students and faculty on all col lege campuses—the so-called question of 'stu dent rights.' " The President believed that the problem Tickets for Lecture Sold Out King To Speak On Future of Integration By CAROL POSTHUMUS Tonight's address by the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., is "a sellout", ticket distribu tion officials said yesterday afternoon. Scheduled for 8:30 p.m., the speech will concern the topic "The Future of Inte gration." WDFM will broadcast King's speech tonight. The program will begin at 8:25. King spent the beginning of this week leading a drive for Negro voter registration and integration of hotels and res taurants in Selma, Ala. The 1964 Nobel Peace Prize winner was described to The Daily Collegian by one of his former professors as "the per fect example of the right man in the right ,place at the right time." G. Lewis Chandler, profes sor of English at Morehouse College (Atlanta, Ga.), said when King studied under him he was "a good student with above average, but not su perior, grades; conscientious, with strong convictions." Chandler said King "never argued, and was well -respect ed by other students for his trtFAM , ,LY; "'"' :t• s., Negroes-Jailed in Alabama; Pressing for Voting Rights SELMA, Ala. (AP) Negroes pressing for the right to vote were allowed to use one of the two main entrances to the coun ty 'courthouse yesterday, but insisted on using the other and about 160 of them went to jail. Sheriff James G. Clark, who earlier told the Negroes they must enter the building through an alley, relented when another group appeared and told them they could use the front en trance. The Negroes objected to being told r'oor to use in a pub lic building. "1 of voter registration was much President Apologizes for Comments honesty and integrity. It seemed easy for him to plan ahead and organize he seemed at first glance lacka daisical, but in reality was very well organized, articulate in both speech and writing, extremely precise in all he , did." In describing the background too slow in Selma, and that at the present rate it would take 103 years to register all of their people of voting age. They also contended registra tion authorities discriminated against them. But the three-member board responsible for putting • new vot ers on the list said it was oper ating ,according to state law withod'aiscrimination. Clark told those in the first group of about 20 that they were under arrest when• they • at tempted to line up outside an other door and then a short time later he 'arrested another group of about the same size. BENJAMIN NOVAK merited concern, but also believed nothing existed in the situation to cause alarm. "One aspect of our changing social pat terns that in my opinion tends to offset the more negative side of the picture is the fact that our students today are generally more mature than the students of 30 years ago," Walker explained. "It is natural that they would want to have more to say about their own government and indeed about the con duct of the University." Explaining further, Walker said the trees mendous growth of the student body, and the added pressures of their academic work, and the many outlets for their energies have brought difficulties in maintaining communications. Communication Channels "It seems to me that here, as in faculty administration matters, our primary concern should be to develop and maintain easier chan nels of communication. We have a student gov ernment and should recognize it. We should make every effort to keep the channels of com munication open between the student govern ment and the faculty by means of appropriate Senate committees, and between the student government and the administration through the appropriate administrative offices. "If Froth has been a problem," Walker said, "the real difficulty has not been a mat ter of freedom, but a matter of coupling re sponsibility for what is said to the authority to say it. In this case, I think the problem is about to be solved." of King's entrance into the field of civil rights work Chandler said "after King went on from Morehouse to theological seminary and re turned home to Atlanta, he was not (and still isn't) con sidered strong in his church' work." Chandler cited two reasons: "one because the other minis ters and laymen all considered, him too secular too inter- 1 ested in politics instead of re-1 ligious and spiritual matters; the other because Atlanta had many educational, religious Johnson Takes Oath of Office In Tradition-Tinged Ceremony WASHINGTON (I?) Lyn don Baines Johnson took the inaugural oath of the presi dency yesterday with tradi tion-tinged ceremony and a ringing promise to lead his countrymen to a destiny of jus tice, liberty and union. And before this generation ends, Johnson promised, it will see the conquest of poverty, hunger, ignorance and dis crimination. "So," Johnson said in a 23- minute inaugural address, "let us reject any among us who seek to reopen old wounds and rekindle old hatreds. They stand in the way of a seek ing nation." Standing under a hazy sun on a chilly day, in a ceremony as timeless as the nation yet somehow as new as a dawn ing day, Johnson uttered the 35 words of the presidential oath at 12:30 p.m. from the in augural platform beneath the towering gray dome of the United States Capitol. It was a moment of solem nity and glowing sentiment. The tall Texan • suddenly Shifted the - plans' and asked Hem, elections commission chairman. He stated he was "quite surprised at the voting turnout, especially in the referendum." Batig UNIVERSITY PARK, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 21, 1965 "If he had stayed in Atlan ta," Chandler continued', "he would have remained only that quiet Dr. King helping at his father's church. But he went to Montgomery, Ala., where his leadership of the (1955) bus incident (in which the councilmen of his church; boycotted the bus service and others followed suit) brought him national fame.

Since that time, King's ac- Right Man Mrs. Johnson to hold for him his mother's well-worn Bible. With stars, or even a trace of tears in her eyes, Lady Bird Johnson stood beside her hus band and complied. Originally, an official of the inauguration committee had been tapped to hold the Bible. But Lyndon B. Johnson is a sentimental man. • He showed it, too, at the end of his inaugural address with a renewed assurance to fel low Americans and all man kind that he will lead and he will do his best. Tragedy His mind went back to the November day in 1963 when he took the presidential oath at a time of tragedy. "To trusted public servants, to families and close friends of mine who have followed me down a long, winding road, and to all the people of the Union and the world," John son said, "I will repeat: today what I said on that sorrowful November day: "I will lead and I will do the best I can.

Kennedy Prize from the Catholic Inter racial Council in Chicago. the old promises and the old dream. They will lead you best of all." The presidential oath was administered for the 45th time in history. Johnson said it was a mo ment of majesty and meaning, because the oath he had taken before his fellow Americans and before God "is not mine alone, but ours together. We are one nation and one peo ple. Our fate and our future rest not upon one citizen but upon all citizens." Dominion And in broad generalities, Johnson spoke beyond the seas to other peoples to tell them that: "We aspire to noth ing that belongs to others. We seek no dominion over our fellow man, but man's domin ion over - tyranny and misery." The forefathers .of this na tion, the President said, came here from other lands as exiles and strangers to make a cove nant -"Conceived in justice, written in liberty, bound in union." "It binds us still," he said. "And if we keep its terms we shall flourish." Walker Voices Opposition To More State Institutions By TIM SHAFFER Without mentioning Temple University by name, President Eric A. Walker yesterday re vealed his apparent opposition to the institu tion's plan to become the state university of Eastern Pennsylvania. Walker said Penn State will press for ad ditional Commonwealth campuses in the Phila delphia and Pittsburgh areas, as well as three other campuses in Western Pennsylvania. The President's announcement was also an apparent rejection of a plan announced Tuesday by private education research organizations to ask the state not to approve any more centers for Penn State until a master plan 'for community colleges is completed. On Temple, Walker said, "There are those who will say X will take care of the metro politian east, and Y will take care of the west and you (Penn State) take what is left." Pechan Proposal "X" was an obvious referral to Temple, while "Y" probably meant Indiana State Col lege, which Sen. Albert Pechan (R.-Cambria County) has proposed become a state univer sity for the western portion of the state. The President said, "Unless we are will ing to make our services available to all Penn sylvania, we are likely to find ourselves re garded as the State University of Centre County." "There are people," he continued, "prom inent in education who would drive the state into three areas—the east, the west, and the center portion—and who believe that the state's THE USG ELECTION Commissioners commissioners as they tally the final counted ballots last night in the Helsel count on the referendum, freshman class ' Union card room.

Annual Report Discusses Program, Research The 1963-64 annual report lof the University will be re leased today under the title I"Pennsylvania's State-W i d e University". The report dis cusses Penn State residence and continuing education pro grams, its $18,500,000 research program and its $78,934,441 budget. President Eric A, Walker commented on the land grant state university system as unique in the history of man. "The range of its faculty, the depth of its commitment to the people, and the tradition of service make it a powerful instrument for the common good," he says. During 1963-64, the Univer sity conferred 5,102 degrees, including 201 doctorates, 705 masters degrebs, 3,699 bacca laureate degrees and 497 as ALAN BUCK funds for higher education should be allocated accordingly. If this were to happen, I am afraid that we would come off not merely second best, but third best—and a poor third best at that In answer to charges that Penn State should limit its growth, Walker said flatly, "I do not agree." The President. said that part of the Uni versity's long, range development is ". . . a matter of strengthening and expanding our Com monwealth campus system," •since 25,000 stu dents will be the maximum number that Uni versity Park can accommodate. This number will be reached by 1970. To accommodate this increase, Walker said that the University has lately made requests to the General State Authority for $75 million in design and construction funds for 44 build ings to be added to this campus during the next five years. The development of the Commonwealth campuses has "over the years been generally a successful venture," he pointed out, with the associate degree programs having been . , hailed throughout the country as among the most outstanding and successful educa tional efforts conducted anywhere." Walker, referring to "a statement of gen eral policy" of the Board of Trustees, said that the University "has no desire to expand its facilities merely for the sake of its own aggrandizement," nor intrude anywhere in the state where present facilities for higher edu cation are adequate. sociate degrees. . Expanded facilities of the 15 Commonwealth campuses have resulted in a possible record enrollment in the branch campuses of the Uni versity. Graduate centers were established at King of Prussia and in the Harrisburg-Lan caster-York area. Continuing education pro grams enrolled 67,446 men and women last year. Through these courses unemployed workers learn new skills and again become employable, or other workers qualify for job advancement. These programs have grown greatly in the past five years with credit courses more than doubling their en rollment.

Walker sayS, "We are just beginning to sense the potential that lies in the modern state univer sity for providing new and im aginative solutions to the be setting problems of man." Of the $78,934,441 budget, 31.8 per cent came from the Commonwealth and 21.1 per cent from student tuition and charges. Twenty-seven per cent was spent for resident instruction and departmental research and 22.13 per cent for organized research. The annual report is avail able to any interested Com monwealth citizen.
