Plans

By JOYCE McKEEVER
Gathering steam for its
forthcoming May issue.
Froth has reached the half
way mark in becoming a
University activity.
Froth's charter' has been,
read and revised by the Corn-'
mittee on Student Organiza
tions and will come to a vote
at the committee meeting next
Thursday, student publisher
Allan Friedman said yester
day.
If the charter bid gets an
affirmative vote, it will then ,
be sent to the Administrative;
Committee on Student Affairs ,
for consideration. Friedman
expects the chartering proce
dure to be completed within
two weeks.
Friedman also announced
Froth is looking for a new
"Frothy" as a mascot for next,
fall. The traditional jester,'
which first appeared in 1950.
will be seen at football games
and rallies with the Nittany .
Lion mascot.
"Frothy" applicants must be
tall and have some gymnastic
ability, the publisher noted.
Applications for the May
Froth Girl of the Month are
also being accepted. Friedman
said the qualifications are
"obvious."
'Good Taste Needed'
The request for manuscripts
and cartoons has been rather
"disappointing" the publisher
added. He emphasized the,
main problem was receiving ;
manuscripts "in good taste." I
"Too many of the manu
scripts already submitted were,
styled after the old Froth,",
Friedman noted. Acceptance

cartoons and photographs are
humor, cleverness and "good
taste."
Friedman said the editors

satirical articles related to

Froth is also considering pub

One reason for printing only'
one issue next term was to ,

are hopeful it will, the sub-I

tape recordings submitted by in
terested groups, Nathan Cobb.
representative for the Skopes
men said.
The winning tape submitted by
the Spokesmen included "A
Taste of Honey," arranged by
Steven Gorn, and "Sad Song," an
original composition by Arthur
Goldstein: The Quintet is com

James Emminger. and all five

from the associated press
Hundreds of screaming Red Chinese and Vietna
mese students stoned and spattered the U.S. Embassy in
Moscow yesterday, beat back police, scuffled with
soldiers and dispersed only when army reinforcements
moved in. Shouting, "Down with American imperial
ism," the demonstrators denounced U.S. air strikes in
Viet Nam. U.S. Ambassador Foy D. ,Kohler delivered
a stiff protest, declaring police protection had been
inadequate: It was the second attack on the embassy
within a month. Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko
apologized, promised to pay for the damage, and said
greater measures would be taken for •protection of the
embassy in the future, an embassy statement said. '
"USIA Library Closings Announced
The United States announced yesterday it is closing
all five of its libraries and reading rooms in Indonesia
because of "intolerable" harassments by the Indonesian
government. The 17 U.S. Information Agency officers
in ,the Indonesian operation also are to be withdrawn
promptly, and all other U.S. information activities there,
including distribution of a magazine, films, press ma
terials and exhibits will be discontinued. The announce
ment was made by USIA director Carl T. Rowari. It
came in the wake of a long series of attacks on the U.S.
libraries in Indonesia and failure by American officials
to obtain adequate redress.
Underground Blast Kills 17
Seventeen lives were lost in a great gush of fire
when an underground natural gas pipeline exploded
near a row of homes in Natchitoches, La., yesterday.
The dead included nine children. Of the dead, eight
were from one family and six were from another. The
heat, over a 10-acre area, was so intense it melted six
care• and three trucks into, shapeless mounds of metal.
At least nine persons were injured. Some were reported
in serious condition at the hospital here. The blast
erupted 150 yards behind a row of frame houses, just
across a highway from a country club. It tore a crater
15 feet deep, 75 feet long, 30 feet wide. "The explosion
was terrible," said Corbitt Smith, who lives 'near the
scene. "it was followed by a roar that sounded like a
low flying jet. That horrible roaring went on continu
ously for about 30 minutes."
Negroes Mobilize for March
Negro leaders are mobilizing their forces for a
50-mile march to Alabama's historic state Capital at
Montgomery to dramatize anew their demands for racial
equality. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., leaving Selma
for another speaking trip after walking four miles
in the rain for the burial of a slain Negro laborer. said
the long march will start Si:nday afternoon. The ques
tion immediately arose whether state troopers would
allow the Negroes to walk in mass formation along the
highway or would stop them at the outskirts of this
west Alabama city. No immediate reaction came either
from Gov. George C. Wallace or from the troopers' com
mander, Col. Al Lingo. Observers were quick to recall,
however, that when another cross-country march
erached north Alabama in 1963, Lingo's men turned
the marchers back.

Fulbright Asks Change
For Foreign Aid Bill
Sen. J. William Fulbright
yesterday asked Congress to
make major changes in the
Johnson administration's "sin

Fulbright will speak at 8:30
tonight in Schwab. His ad

As chairman of the Senate

In his annual manpower re

Taking steps to increase the student voice in Univer
sity activities, the University Student Government Con
gress last night voted to establish a Community Affairs
Committee and a commission to investigate the feasibility
of printing student course guides.
The Community Affairs bill, introduced by Interfra
ternity Council President David Savitz, calls for a perma
nent student committee "to investigate complaints by stu
dents of unfair business practices and unfair prices on
the part of State College merchants.
Comparative Study
A USG initial investigation will be launched into the
current level of* downtown prices relative to other com
munities similar to State College in size and tax structure.
The legislation follows recent probes into the level of
prices charged by local merchants.
Congress also approved legislation, introduced by
Sophomore Class President Mel Ziegler, to "investigate the
,possibility" of establishing a University Course Guide. The
committee must report its findings to Congress by April 15.
To be compiled entirely by students, the guide would
be published annually, listing "unbiased" evaluations of
campus courses and instructors.
The assembly approved a revised policy governing
the awarding of scholarships and loans. Under the new
policy, which is subject to review by the University Board
of Trustees at its next meeting, grants will be more readily
available to needy, qualified students.
Congress voted to appropriate $2,900 for various stu
dent activities.
•A USG representative is allocated "a sum not to
exceed $300." to attend the National Student Association
Student Body Presidents' Conference next summer.
•$1,500 was granted to finance the Student Handbook.
•Encampment, an assembly of student leaders which
meets every fall to discuss University problems, was allo
cated $BOO.
• Student scholarships, to be awarded by USG execu
tives, were allotted $3OO.
In other business, a bill to establish a committee to
ascertain the student body opinion concerning Viet Nain
was defeated. The legislation, sponsored by town Congress
man James Caplan, called for a student concensus to end
the Viet Nam war "through negotiation."
If the students called for a peaceful settlement in Viet
Nam, the bill provided that resolutions to that effect be
sent to the U.S. President, Vice President and U.S. Sena
tors from Pennsylvania.
Congress approved the following members to sit on
the Rules Committee: Jeffrey Roberts, town Congressman;
Arthur Stuff, Town Independent Men's Council President;
Thomas Musemeci, junior class president; and Richard
Grovich, North Halls congressman.
Also' approved were: Gretchen Griffin, public rela
tions coordinator; Mary Jacobs, Cultural Congress chairman
and Maxine Salvin, Encampment chairman.
