Setup Fund Scholarships and loans may become more readily avail able to students under a revised Undergraduate Student Government program. Legislation, sponsored by USG Treasurer David De- Much, to amend the already-existing scholarship and loan fund will be introduced at tonight's USG Congress meet ing at 7 p.m. in 203 Hetzel Union Building. The major alteration_in.the policy- will make iteasier for students to procure loans, by "eliminating a lot of red tape," DeMuch said. Under the revised plan, loans will be available "to needy full time undergraduate students who have completed at least one term of study and have maintained a cumulative grade average of at least 2.0. Preferential consideration will be given to those students nearest graduation." Students may borrow under either a long or short term basis. A $5O minimum will be placed on the non-interest bearing short term loans. Interest-bearing long term loans offer a maximum $l,OOO per year to needy students. The total amount borrowed by any one student may not exceed $4,000. "Interest," according to the revised policy, "will be charged at the rate of two per cent per year until one year after graduation or official withdrawal from the Uni versity." Interest rates increase to four per cent for the next year, and to six per cent until the loan has been repaid. Loan recipients will be selected by the Director of Student Aid. Formerly loans were awarded by a committee. "It was possible but very difficult to get a loan under the old procedure," DeMuch said. A minimum all-University of 2.50. is required of all students to be considered for a scholarship. "Students must have made some contribution to the student community by their participation in student activities," according to the policy. Scholarships will be awarded for the duration of three academic terms. Money from Interest Money to be used in the scholarship and loan program comes from interest on $50,000, which was accumulated through contributions of alumni and student organizations in past years. The amount of money awarded each year depends on "the amount of income received during the previous year, gifts for the scholarship awards and the principal available." Scholarships are awarded by a committee consisting of the Dean of Men, the Dean of Women,. the USG president and vice president and the Director of Student Aid. Organization May Give "The scholarship fund remains fluid for all organiza tions who wish• to contribute money to be made available to the entire student body," DeMuch said. For instance, the HUB Special Events Committee recently contributed 5100 to the fund from the proceeds of the HUB Rat Auction. If the new scholarship and loan policy passes in Con gress tonight, it will be subject to review by the University Board of Trustees at their next meeting. ental Health Worksho Kennedy's Sister To Speak Today Eunice Kennedy Shriver, sister of the late President John F.

Kennedy, D-N.Y., blasted a Senate Judiciary subcommittee yesterday for spreading what' he called a false implication he had acted improperly while attorney general. He accused Sen. Edward V. Long, D-Mo., the subcommittee chairman, of adding to this impression and stated heatedly: "I think the .practices of this committee might well be studied." The senator appeared at his own request to answer under oath an accusation by a witness Tuesday that Kennedy while heading the Justice Depart ment had attempted to promote a magazine expose of the Teamsters Union President James R. Hoffa. Hoffa was under indictment at the time. The witness, a New York attorney, said he found a memo in Life Magazine files on the incident. French Express Viet Fears • President Charles de Gaulle's government expressed fear yesterday the war in Viet Nam might flash over a large part of Asia unless the great powers put the dispute on the conference table. And the Cabinet expressed con cern over air raids on Communist North Viet Nam. The con cern and fresh appeal for a new meeting of the 1954 Geneva conference on Indochina were voiced by Information Min ister .Alain Peyrefitte after a regular weekly Cabinet ses sion presided over by De Gaulle. Shortly before in London, British government authorities gave strong support for the latest phase of U.S. bombings of military bases in Com munist North Viet Nam. Peyrefitte made mention of France's agreement last week to work with the Soviet Union for convening a new Geneva Conference on Viet Nam. Class Office Abolition Proposed By LAURIE DEVINE Abolish class government? This issue, along with 13 other legislative bills is ex pected to prompt sharp debate at tonight's Undergraduate Student Government Congress meeting. An amendment to replace the freshman, sophomore and junior class presidents with class representatives-at-large will be introduced by Mel Ziegler, sophomore class pres ident. The new representatives would serve as USG congress men and chairmen of the class gift funds. According to the proposal, the senior class presi dency 'would be-retained. "A class government serves no purpose and has literally nothing to do," Ziegler ex plained. "Our concern is to create interest in student gov ernment among students and to retain this interest once we Expansion Of HUB To Start By DAVE UNGERMAN The Hetzel Union Building, the relatively new center of. University activities, already is due to receive a face-lifting this June. It is necessary to expand the present facilities so that they will be able to accommodate the increasing enrollment and needs of the University. The plans for con struction have almost been completed and bidding will start in the near future. Walter H. Wiegand, director of physical plant and construc tion, said the Terrace Room and the Lion's ' Den will be closed June 14. These facilities will then be moved up to the present ballroom. The plans also include enlarging the ball room. To enable students to use the ballroom during con struction, a temporary wall will be constructed on the south side of the ballroom. Until 1966 Wiegand said construction would probably last until Sep tember, 1966. He said, "The present size of the ballroom will be doubled, the new ad dition'extending over the pres ent second floor terrace on the south side. The new ballroom will have folding walls, en abling it to be divided into three sections.", A major addition will be an entirely new wing on the south side. This will house the new Lion's Den and accom modatiOns for LaVie, The Daily, Collegian and other student organization offices, plus a number of meeting rooms. L.D. Sarno The Lion's Den will be on the same level as the present facility, but because of the downward slope of the front lawn, •this' will be the second floor of the new addition. Wiegand said that the new Lion's Den would be 150'x150' square, "an enlargement over the present area of two and one half to three times the size." Service Doubled The new Terrace/Boom will occupy its present space and that of the old .Lion's Den. • Wiegand estimates food serv ice will then be doubled. Both the Teriace Room and the Lion's Den will be' air con , ditioried.• The piesent • flagstiine ter race will be torn' out to make way for the new wing. A Por7 tion of a new terraceVill thpn be constructed,.,in the court yard formed by the connection of the new wing to the HUB. Large will be placed•along,the courtyard. from the associated press 7. have it No Duties "The USG constitution as signs class president NO spe cific,duties," he continued. "In fact, they must invent projects and often these overlap and conflict with the work of other organizations." Summing up all his argu ments for eliminating class presidents at a University which operates on the term system, Ziegler said, "We simply cannot have class gov ernment without classes." Play on Words "It's only a play on words," Bruce Trotman, senior class president, 'contended. "The bill provides -for no real changes in the present Structure, ex cept that a student will be called .''class representative' instead of 'class president.'!' Senate Investigation Reports Gangland Earnings In Billions WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate Investigations subcom mittee reported yesterday a ruthless, nationwide mob known variously as the Mafia and Cosa Nostra is profiting to the tune of "many billions" of dollars a year from gambling, narcotics, prostitution and other rackets. In a formal report to be sub mitted to the senate on Thurs day, the subcommittee urged Congress to consider the enact- 1 ment of new laws for an all out war against the outfit. "This combine has 'so much power and influence that it may be described as a private gov ernment of organized crime," the report said. The findings 'were based on testimony received in 1963 and 1964 from police officials and from New York mobster Joseph Valachi, confessed onetime pro fessional killer for the mob. Televised Hearings Valachi is the elderly hoodlum who in televised hearings in the fall of 1963 spun a story of his role in underworld murders and other crimes, and the rise of New York gangster Vito Geno , - • , ~•.. ),'!,07,AY,7.A x.... _., by Samuel Beckett - .will be ,pre- , (graduate-Tamagua).

Jets Bomb Secret Targets A U.S. Air Force jet mission struck secret targets yesterday in a followup to the widely publicized U.S.- South Vietnamese attack Tuesday on military installations in Communist North Viet Nam. The Ho Chi Minh trail through eastern Laos—a Viet Cong supply line, raided sporadically throughout the winter—was believed to have been hit by more than 30 FlOO and' FlO5 fighter-bombers. The supersonic squadrons took off unheralded with heavy loads of explosives from Da Nang base, 380 miles northeast of Saigon, and sped back later with bomb bays empty to a landing lacking in fanfare. U.S. authorities declined to disclose the objectives, but said no new strike had been made against North Viet Nam. Welfare Condition Announced State and local agencies which receive federal funds for health ,education and welfare programs may soon get. a prod if they don't assure the government they are com plying with the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Yesterday was a target date—but not a deadline—for recipients of such aid under 95 federal programs to send in assurance of com pliance or tell of their plans to eliminate racial and other discrimination. James M. Quigley, assistant secretary of welfare, said, "I think the overwhelming majority of our recipients have sent in their assurances of compliance or are doing so." He reiterated that voluhtary compliance is still the goal, rather than the pressure or precipitous cut ting off aid for failure to comply, as the law permits. He cited tradition as a ma jor reason for retaining the present system. "Although we operate under the term sys tem, a majority of students attend the University for four years and thus function as part of a class," he said. Violates Constitution Thomas Musemeci, junior class president, said he thought the amendment violated the new USG constitution which was adopted just last teim. "The purpose of the consti tution was to have more ea officio members like class presidents and eliminate the number of at-large represen tatives," he added. • "More students would be in spired to campaign for the class presidencies than for a representative one," Musemeci said, "because it would per- vese to Cosa Nostra's command post of "boss of all bosses" with life and death powers over his followers, He said Genovese still ruled Cosa Nostra although in prison on narcotic charges. Valachi himself is under a life sentence for murder. Valachi swore he had been marked for death by Genovese as a suspected informer, and hoped through his testimony to destroy Cosa Nostra in revenge. The subcommittee said a de sire to save his own skin was another reason for Valachi's testimony, but that police records' "leave no doubt that Joseph Valachi's testimony was quite accurate." Broken Oath It was the first time, the sub committee said, that any Cosa Nostra member had broken its oath to die rather than .reveal its inner workings. The report proposed new leg islation to: —Compel testimony from re luctant witnesses in racket erring cases by granting them immunity from prosecution. —Make the intimidation of MWN ~..: i i ::............ sonally mean more to the par ticipants." Alan Buck, freshman class president, was not available for official comment. How ever, he has publicly indicated that he opposed the bill. Before the amendment can become effective, it must be read at three consecutive Con gress meetings. Formal action will be taken at the third reading, which must occur be fore the end of the spring term. Student Vote If the proposal is approved by Congress, the student body will have the opportunity to vote on the issue during the spring term 'USG - elections. A majority vote of those par ticipating in the balloting is required to put the amend ment into effect, witnesses in such cases a feder al crime. —Legalize telephone wiretap ping by police, under court or der, and make wiretapping by others a crime. —Make it a felony to belong to criminal societies such as Cosa Nosta. Fulbright Tickets 'All Distributed All student tickets to the lecture by Senator J. William Fulbright, set for 8:30 p.m. tomorrow in Schwab have been distributed, while a few tickets remain available for purchase by the general pub lic. If these are not sold they will be distributed to students. Th e University Lecture Series will sponsor a coffee hour following Fulbright's ad dress in the HUB main lounge. Inquiry Receives Small Response A tiny sampling of opinion indicates that most students find retail prices higher in State College than in their hometowns. From the 450 questionaires distributed by Liberal Party last week, 34 students have responded with 32 indicating that prices are higher, two claiming that prices are similar and no one finding the State College prices lower. Marvin Peebles, Liberal Party Chairman, report ed yesterday that mrhilefhe party's probe of down- town prices was progressing well in some areas, "a lack of response from the student body" was slowing the investiga tion. The investigating committee has met to discuss the price situation with Benjainin Swanson, president of the State .College Chamber of Commerce, and William Polito, C, of C executive secretary.,The results of these discussions will be made available at the conclusion of the investigation, Peebles reported. The committee is comparing prices in individual estab lishments downtown and also contrasting the general price level and tax structure in State College with 40 other Penn sylvania communities with a population of, 10,000 or more. Member Shortage • Peebles said because of a shortage of committee mem-' bers, the comparative pricing of downtown 'merchants is proceeding slowly. He cited a lack of funds as another major reason the investigation is not being conducted to its greatest extent. Specific complaints of unfair practices and prices re ported to the committee will be forwarded to the proposed USG Community Affairs Committee, and to the • local chamber of Commerce, according to Peebles. Sfudy, Resulfs, Resume' The final report will include a comprehensive study of State College prices relative to other communities, results of the questionaire and a full resume of conversations with local business groups. Clothing, shoes, laundry service and books were the specific articles most frequently mentioned as over-priced in the questionaires. Peebles said he expects the final report to be completed before June.
