SHAFER'S HAT IN THE RING: A Republican ticket of
Raymond P. Shafer for governor and Walter E. Alessandroni
for lieutenant governor was launched with dramatic fanfare
Monday with the blessing of Gov. Scranton and other party
leaders. The Shafer-Alessandroni combination, along with
other recommendations tor the May 17 primarv ballot, will
be presented to the 30-member executive committee of the
Republican Slate Organization at a meeting in Harrisburg
Today. In Washington, Sen. Hugh Scott, R-Pa., said in an
interview that the Republican ticket he and Scranton will
recommend at the meeting will also include John Tabor, new
state secretary of commerce, for secretary of internal affairs:
Judge Theodore Spaulding of Philadelphia County Court,
for superior court judge, and Judge Harold Watkins of
Schuylkill County Court, for re-election to the superior
court. Yesterday, Shafer traveled throughout the state cam
paigning. In Philadelphia, he talked of more aid to schools
and doing something about what he called the "grinding
poverty” in that city: he had comments about mine reclama
tion and urban renewal in the Wilkes-Barre - Scranton area,
and jobs and industrial diversification at Altoona and
Johnstown. At Pittsburgh, he talked of improvements in ed
ucation, transportation, and conservation. Meanwhile, Rep.
Richard S. Schweikcr, R-Pa„ who had been prominently
mentioned as a possible candidate for governor, held out
the possibility Monday of a primary fight against Shafer.
He said he had not yet decided whether to seek the nomina
tion. but would know by Wednesday or Thursday of this
week.

TRANSIT AUTHORITY FARE-ING POORLY: The Transit
Authority pr*»'.ed ahead yesterday in a demand for $3.2 mil
lion in fines against striking subway and bus unions. Claim
ing it costs $322,000 a day to maintain idle power [anilities,
ears, tracks and busses, the Transit Authority has brought
its demand before State Supreme Court Justice Abraham N.
Gellcr. While the hearings were going on. thousands picket
ed city hall, protesting the imposition of fines and shouting
“We want Quill!” Quill, still in the hospital, has been re
ported in fair condition. Douglas MacMnhon, acting in
Quilt's place as union leader, called the latest peace talks,
“completely unproductive and meaningless." MacMahon said
the latest bargaining was concentrated on a $5O-million
package proposed by Mayor Lindsay. However, the union
leader claimed this amount was intended to be spread over
supervisory employees as well as union workers, and that
only a part of it would apply to the union. Yesterday, in the
tenth day of the strike. 850.000 cars inched their way into
Manhattan—2so,ooo more than normal.
The World
A FOOT IN THE DOOR: President Johnson is keeping the
peace negotiations door ajar despite harsh words from
Hanoi, Moscow, and Peking. Monday night, a U.S. diplomat
met with a Hanoi government representative for a few min
utes and handed him a message concerning U.S. proposals
for peace in Vietnam. However, the meeting did not appear
to mark a shift in the immediate diplomatic or military sit
uation. The Communists were said not to have responded
in any significant way so far to President Johnson’s bid for
unconditional discussions on settling the Vietnam war. Al
though the Hanoi representative accepted the U.S. com
munication and exchanged brief remarks with the U.S. rep
resentative. the two did not get into substantive negotia
tions. Publicly, the Communists have been continuing harsh
denunciations of what they term U.S. imperialist aggression
in Vietnam so North Vietnam’s acceptance of the communi
cation was viewed of no immediate significance. However,
this was the first disclosed U.S. contract with the Hanoi
regime since Johnson’s current peace offensive began Dec. 24.

vacancies available than ever belore,”
Faxton noted. “There is nothing healthier
than a competitive market.’
Edward Dench. TIM Council housing
chairman, added that there arc always
the most vacancies during the spring.
Delicti said that there are about "50
permits out now. These are listed with
the Dean of Men and in the TIM office
so inlercsted persons can check them.
Council members pointed out there are
a considerable number of people living
in places that do not have permits.
Computer Help
“We want to know about those
places,” Faxton said. Dench replied that
these would be pinpointed by the use of
computers.
Faxton said houses could be vacated
if landlords did not repair violations after
several months notice.
Dench said all complaints will be
validated and then passed on to the
housing inspector.
Rush Begins;

Committee has prepared a list of interested freshmen. Fra
ternities breaking rushing regulations will be subject to
fines or rush restriction.
Fifteen fraternities are eligible to host coeds on Tues
day and Thursday nights, under the ruling passed by the
Senate Committee last term permitting coeds in the fra
ternity house living and recreation rooms from 7 to 11 p.m.
The privilege is extended to fraternities with outstanding
averages. The Board of Control will check to see that the
conditions of the rule are met by the fraternities involved.
No dancing is permitted and the privilege is limited to only
members and pledges of the fraternities that qualify.
Twenty-six fraternities fell below the 2.35 average
minimum set by IFC for house grades. The fraternities will
receive letters from the Council. The low averages coincided
with an overall drop in the campus average, with both Hunt
and Scholarship Chairman Jim Hicks expressing concern.
