Weather Forecast: Warming Trend Forseen VOL. 65, No. 69 minim the world: feb. 5 mmilinummimmuittiiiiiim !Johnson Criticizes= DeGaulle i s Views; 111111111 ' from the associated presilmill° President Johnson challenged Charles de Gaulle's view of United Nations problems yesterday and, closer to home, denial of voting rights to many Alabama Negroes. John son, hblding his first Washington, news conference since the election, ranged across many topics in a ,33-mimite session that produced these other highlights: American and Soviet diplomats are discussing a_possible ,presidential trip to Moscow, and details "will be made public as soon as they are definite;" "I may have made a mistake" by asking Chief Justice Earl Warren, rather than Vice Presi ident Hubert H. Humphrey, to head the U.S. delegation at Sir Winston Churchill's funeral; "I judge it of the highest importance" that the House accept a Senate amendment that would permit him to continue sales of surplus farm commodities to the United Arab Republic, if he deemed that to be in the national interest; "Most of the symptoms of the infection I had are gone, although I don't feel as bouncy as I did before I went to the hospital;" "There has been no change in the position of this country in regard to our desire or our determination to help the people of Viet Nam preserve their freedom." French Suggest Conference President Charlei de Gaulle suggested yesterday a five power conference including Communist China to• resolve the crisis in the United Nations. He also declared that the role of the dollar in international finance should be de-emphasized. and that the problem of German re unification can be solved only by, Europeans. Throughout a 75-minute news conference. De Pattlle ltPot romine , back to a recurring theme the need for reducting 'U.S. in fluence in European affairs. He was never truculent or insistent. He developed his opinions in long explanations delving into the historical development of each problem and added briefly how he thought they could be solved. Bundy Begins Talks Presidential assistant McGeorge Bundy began a round of fact-finding conferences with U.S. officials yesterday amid speculation in some Vietnamese quarters that a U.S.- Soviet deal on Viet Nam was in the making. Bundy's ar rival happened to coincide with the departure of Soviet Premier Alexei N. Kosygin from Moscow for talks in Ha noi, capital of Communist North Viet Nam. Bundy denied his trip was related in any way to the Kosygin visit. Bundy's arrival statement reiterated American pledges to continue support for Viet Nam's anti-Communist struggle. But the statement contained the diplomatic hint that Viet Nam was expected to do its part. President Proposes New Policy President Johnson sketched for Congress yesterday the broad outlines of a farm program he said is designed to enable rural Americans to share equitably in the national prosperity. His special message, containing glimpses of the "Great Society" Johnson envisions, said farm policy must be geared to "an over-all interest, at home and abroad." Leaving many of the details to be filled in later, he recom mended that Congress continue and improve present price support programs for major commodities, authorize a vast cropland retirement program to bring supplies and demand in better balance, and give special attention to small farm ers. For two comodities, tobacco and rice, the President urged two-price systems to make them more competitive in world markets. PRC To Sponsor Social Reception Tickets are still available for the Pollock Residence Council sponsored reception for the internationally acclaimed Prague Chamber Orchestra, according to Jeff Simon, coun cil president. Simon said "University stu dents are not aware of the un usual opportunity which the reception offers them." The reception, which will• be held from 10-12 tonight in the Hetzel Union ballroom, will allow students to meet the Czechoslovakian artists and discuss with them anything from music to life under Com munism. The University appearance of the orchestra is part of the group's debut tour of the Unit ed States. The orchestra is composed of 36 instrumental ists, who retain the tradition of the small chamber group— that of performing without a conductor—while its increased size allows for a more vari able repertoire including full 'Chicken Run' University in 1:00's By NORM WILLIAMS On a cold day in February, 1859, after wading through mud and climb ing a "chicken run", 119 students made their way into the main building of the Farmer's High School of Pennsyl vania—the first enrollees of what to day is called the Pennsylvania State University. They were to live on the third, fourth, and fifth floors of Old' Main, at that time only one-third completed. "It 'is interesting to note," wrote Otto E. Mueller, director of housing and food service, in a 1961 report,' "To this day as far as the writer can find there has never been a single case of a student housing unit having been completely finished before ' students were moved into it." Below Normal Living conditions were 'a bit sub normal by today's standards. The rooms were in poor condition with little or no heating and no modern sanitary facilities. No running water facilities were found in the building until its completion in 1863. The five faculty members along with their families were also housed in OM Main. The first students ate their meals in what was fornierly a construction shanty located at the rear of the building. Later food provisions were made inside. The rooms themselves consisted of two single iron beds, 'two chairs .and one table along with' a bureau and washstand. They contained no cur tains, rugs or bedding.

This reception is the first of the council's attempts to in itiate a program of receptions for Artists Series performers in order to provide a place for students to go after the per formance. Until now, Simon said, there has been no place for semi formally dressed students to go after Series concerts and still retain a cultural atmos phere. The council, in trying to find a solution for this prob lem, came up with the recep tion idea and is sponsoring it along with the Artists Series on a non-profit basis. Also at the reception will be a four-piece band, "The Four Jacks," which will provide soft music for students who wish to dance. Refreshments will be served. Simon said tickets for , the event are on sale for 35 cents at the HUB desk. High School. Truition in 1859 was $lOO. Classes, began in February and ended in December of the same year. By 1866 the tuition had risen $260 per year, and as a result enrollment dropped. The abolition of, all fees in 1870 was intended to curb. the problem. There was a $2O fee assessed at this time for fuel, kerosene oil and janitor service. The first students were obligated to work three hours a day on the school's grounds or buildings in addi tion to studying .and attending classes. They received Saturday afternooni and Sundays off. Student opposition in 1880 led to suspension of the regula tion. A senior science major in the school year. 1879-80 was required to take such courses' as moral and mental philosophy, cavalry tactics, internation al law and evidences of Christianity. A political moral and mental science department was found in the college. On student activities for the same year, the catalogue states, "There are two, Literary Societies, named, respec tively, the Cresson and Washington. Each has a commodius hall, hand somely_ fitted up and furnished . . . Besides• there is a Young Men's Chris tian Association. No Secret Fraterni ties are permitted in the Institution." It was not until 1873 that permis sion was granted for students to live off college grounds. Later dinner clubs were 'organized, among them the Del monico, Duquesne and Keystone clubs, They met in Old Main and State Col lege and were the forerunners of pres ent day • fraternities, At this time all of State College consisted of several ramshackle houses and stores standing Jazz Quintet Enters Fes tival By CAROL POSTHUMUS The Jazz Spokesmen are making it big!

By 1896 the borough was incorporated and its population reached nearly 500. First Coeds In June, 1871 Ellen Cross and Re becca Ewing applied for admission to what was now the Agriculture Col lege of Pennsylvania (since 1860)—the first women•ever to do so. While the male population at the school in all probability rejoiced at the idea, the faculty approached the situation by calling a special meeting which resulted in the admittance of six young ladies in September of the same year. Rules and regulations were strictly enforced during the 1800 s. No intoxi cating liquors were permitted on the grounds and selling alcoholic bever ages within two miles of campus was prohibited by state legislature. Games of chance, cards, possession of firearms, and having keys to any one's room but one's own were punish able from reprimand to dismissal. Despite strict rules the students managed to amuse themselves. Muel ler noted in reports by faculty mem bers that students were found "leaving the campus without permission, taking' mules and horses from the stables at night, stealing chickens, hunting dur ing study hours, exchanging water for oil in the hallway lamps, hazing fresh men, stopping up keyholes, being caught drunk while in Bellefonte, and throwing water-filled paper bags from windows on people below.';' This somewhat indicates although many habits of University students have certainly changed over the past 105 years, others have remained and in all probability shall continue.

The price increase, Gun! said, was necessitated by the iightclub's loss of $9O last term.ii He attributed the loss to "ex-' orbitant" food service charges, and the SlO HUB room fee.' Free pretzels and potato chips are served each Friday and soft drings are available at l nominal charges. Th e club's management, Gorn said, plans to "improve' the level of entertainment at' the club and put on a complete show every week, to justify the price raise."

Conahan also plans to re-1 sign from several other organ izations in order to concentrate on next term's assignment. He is currently president of the Liberal Arts Student Coun cil, Intercollegiate Council Board representative to the Under{ aduate Student Gov ernment Congress, chairman of the Student Union for Racial Equality, past mem ber of the Young Democrats and a member of SENSE Stu dents for Peace. Conahan was a write-in ;candidate for USG president in the spring election after losing the Liberal Party nomi nation to Benjamin Novak, 'current USG president.

Campus Party initiated the service last term. , Local Taxi Firm Claims Fair Price By MEL ZIEGLER (This is the second in a series of articles which give State College businessmen a chance to answer the c h a r g es of "monopoly" made this week by The Deity Collegian. The charges were wade in an editorial in the Collegian Wednesday.) The owner of the local taxi cab company yesterday re pudiated charges by The Daily Collegian that his prices were too high. In an editorial attacking what it called "Town Monop oly" Wednesday. The Colle gian contended that "the local cab company recently raised, its base fee by 50 percent and, continues to unfairly charge, individual prices for each pas- 1 senger." (See editorial on page two.)' Leroy Toney, proprietor of Toney's Cab Service, said he thought the editorial was "un fair" because cab fares in State College "are under the average small town's." Could be Higher Toney said he charges 45, cents per person for each ride] anywhere within borough lim its and campus. If his cabs had meters to record time and mileage, he noted, fares would, be higher. A trip from Old Main to the Holiday Inn at a busy hour would probably cost 90 cents, Toney said, "if our cabs had I meters." Will he install meters in his 17-cab fleet? "I'm trying my damndest not to," Toney said. The taxi proprietor said his prices were "reasonable" be cause by charging a flat rate people' can use the cabs more frequently. e Only in the winter, Toney By LAURIE DEVINE By a unanimous vote the Undergraduate Student Government Congress last night passed legislation call ing for the establishment of a Book Ordering Service and appealing to the administration that students be per mitted to solicit funds on campus. The BOS bill, sponsored by James Caplan, town congressman, will be operating in time for students to order their spring term books at a ten percent discount. Alan Buck, freshman class president, was elected chair man of the BOS committee. Students may order their books by cash only during the seventh week of the term, Cap lan said. Books will be or dered directly from publishers and shipped to the University in time for the first week of classes. Bulk of Orders Caplan stressed that the bulk of the orders will come from students who are pre registered for courses and "are fairly sure of what books they will need." Books can he returned to the publishers if they are "in good condi tion." The bill set up locations where fund drives may be held. They are the Hetzel Un ion Building, the Mall between Pollock Road and College Avenue, and the sidewalk on the north side of College Ave nue. It also states that no stu dent may be coerced or pres sured in any way to give to a drive. Violators of the bill's stipu lations will lose their right of solicitation. The coordinator of ASA will deal out the penal ties. The bill also states that. USG may further petition for temporary suspension of the organization's University char ter and petition the dean of men and dean of women's noted, do cabs carry on fre quent occasions more than a single passenger. He said that throughout the rest of the year cabs transport an aver age of only one person. Ten-Cent Hike The company raised its base fee ten cents two years ago, because, Toney said, "we couldn't operate for any less." He cited increased wages, costs and expanded facilities as his major reasons for the price increase. Toney estimated that only between one-third and one fourth of his business came from University students. "The campus as a whole is not much business," he said. He pointed out that "there is very little business at all" on weekdays and that week ends are usually busy. Toney said there is a "great possibility" for a coupon sys tem which will enable stu dents who frequently travel in cabs to pay reduced fares. "Students are not as rough and hard to deal with as I've heard," Toney remarked. He added that he foresees "no problems."

Solicitafion Passed also was an act which asking for student or ganizations' rights to exercise the responsibility and right to solicit funds for "causes they deem worthy." Called the "Student Self Regulating . Act", its purpose is "to insure the privacy of students and-to protect student organizations and student leaders from undue outside pressures by professional fund raisers." According to the bill, as it was read, the principle behind its initiation is the regulation of student affairs in fund rais ing campaigns. It cites that all funds raised will be handled through the office of Associated Student Activities. The coordinator of ASA is authorized to limit the number of fund raising cam paigns scheduled concurrently. This limitation is based sole ly on the maintenance of. or der in money drives. It will prevent conflicts between char tered student activities which would be simultaneously so liciting for worthy causes. After over 45 minutes of debate, Congress voted to set i the minimum academic aver age of all candidates for USG executive, congressional and class government offices at 2.2, A motion to raise the re quired all-University and pre vious term average to 2.4 was defeated.

A bill to establish an out standing student-citizen schol arship fund was tabled for further discussion at the next USG meeting which Novak said would be held "in a week or two."
