Weather Forecast: Showers, Cooler VOL. 66, No. 112 change Slated - For_Visitatikil Ruling By DEB STODDARD Collegian Managing Editor Monday, the Administrative ComMittee on Student Affairs voted unanimously for a change in the present apartment visitation rule. The committee found, however, that it could not agree, completely on any proposal that had been made for the change. The committee has considered proposals from the Association of Women - Students and the Undergraduate Student Government since last term. Monday, Frank J. Simes, dean of men, submitted a propOsal to the committee. The committee report, which is printed adjacent to this story, outlines a five-point program for the rule change. It also set up a sub-committee composed of Simes, Dorothy L. Harris, dean of women, and Clifford Nel son, coordinator of religious affairs to dis cuss the committee's program with "all ap propriate student groups." Under the committee's progrdm, should it be implemented, the following regulations will stand. *Women will be allowed to visit apart ments "under stated circumstances." •Chaperon requirement will be elimi- IDA party registration center will be set .y_ R T..

The Soviet News Agency, Tass reported four people killed, 150 injured and many build ings including "several hospitals, schools and state and Public buildings" demolished. Leonid I. Brezhnev, general secretarry, . of the Communist party, and Premier Alexei N. Kosygin flew to Tashkent to supervise the relief work. Tass said the damage was worst in ;the old secti9n of the city. One witness reported the quake lasted about 35 seconds. The quake struck at 5:23 a.m. local time. Two smaller earth tremors, each about half the strength of the original quake. shook the city two hours later. The center of the quake was placed near the city at a depth of between three and six miles beneath the surface. Measurements listed its strength at 6.25 on the Richter scale. Tass said the quake was the worst to hit Tashkent since 1868. * * * The Nation RECIPIENT OF ARTIFICIAL HEART DIES: Marcel De- Rudder, 65, died yesterday of a ruptured left lung after having lived nearly five days with a partial artificial heart. The exact cause of the rupture was not determined, but an autopsy report said Deßudder's heart, damaged by 25 years of illness, had begun healing when he died unexpectedly early yesterday morning. Deßudder underwent a six-hour operation last Thursday in which an artificial heart pump, technically known as a mechanical left-ventricular bypass, was connected in his chest. The plastic pima was 'designed to take over part of the work of the left ventricle, the chamber which does most of the heart's pumping. The op eration was performed' by Dr. Michael A. Deßakey, world famous heart surgeon. Deßtidder never regained.conscious ness after the operation. The autopsy disclosed this was caused by a blood • clot in a major brain artery. The long illness of the former coal miner has included numerous blood clot situations. At an afternoon news conference, Deßakey said there was no relation between the complica , tion which caused death and the heart pump. * * * DETROIT STUDENTS END HIGH SCHOOL BOYCOTT: Students of Detroit's predominantly Negro Northern High School returned to school yesterday and removed the threat of a sympathetic boycott by students in 11 other Detroit schools. Trouble at the' school originated *April 7 when the students protested the suprression of an editorial in the school newspaper which contended Northern stti dents were not getting an adequate education. The students held Northern Principal Arthur T. Carty responsible and called for his removal. The three day boycott ensued. The decision by the students to :return to school came after an announcement by student leaders Carty had been removed. Although Carty was not at his desk in the school, Superin tendent Samuel M. Brownell said Carty remained as prin cipal. Brownell said he had agreed Catry would not 'tea in his office Tuesday if the students would return to school. Brownell contended he had afire • absent for the day and not to remove him from his job as principal.

The State REJECTION OF CROSS FILE PETITIONS APPEALED: The state' Supreme Court announced yesterday it will hear at its current session an appeal by two county judges who were refused permission to cross file for the comi , ig primary elections. Judges Juanita Kidd Stout of Philadelphia and Clinton Budd Palmer of Northampton County Court were not allowed to file petitions for both Democratic and Re publican parties for next month's election. Both are candi dates for the state Supreme Court. Their petitions to cross file were turned down by the secretary of the common , wealth and , in Dauphin County Court.

Bernreuter, chairman of the Administrative Committee, would make no further comment than 'the committee report. He did, however, tell the State College Ministerial Association last week that he had a 12-0 vote from his committee that the rul ing should be changed and that the commit tee had voted 11-1 that there should be un limited visitation. The one dissenting' vote, according to an area pester who attended the association meeting, was that of Simes. The Minister said Bernreuter told the group that he considered Simes' negative voice to give the committee a tie vote, "be cause his (Simes') reasons are good."

Lopez said that the Air Force ex planation was that the radar being used at the time of the sighting was defective and that the observers were inexperi enced. However, the Naval Base Com mander replied that the operators were extremely reliable and that since no Air Force personnel had actually checked the radar, they couldn't know if it was defective or not. This particular example served well to demonstrate two points made by Lopez. The first was that sightings should 14 •-,OcWecl has been ascertained that the report. is frOm a reliable source,' such as a mili tary or commercial airport radar sta tion. The second point was that the official investigating agency, The 133. Air Force, was bound by regulations against releasing information about sight ings: The reason for this regulation, ac cording to Lopez, is probably to help avoid the possibility of a large-scale panic as was experienced during the thirties with the radio presentation of "War of the Worlds." Lopez seemed to deplore this official interference with the facts. Lopez posed the quedtion that if UFO's actually do exist, why don't they land and identify themselves?• To this achievements. 7 "Reliance on logic is basic to the progress of knowledge," he emphasized.

Leaders of the. student groups involved in the ruling change are already voicing dis-. satisfaction with the Administrative com mittee's proposed program. Edward Cressman, president of TIM Council, said last night, "I can't conceivably see how a plan like , this could be enforced. I think infringement of students'' privacy by the 'check team is totally unfair." Said Cressman, "I don't like the adminis tration making policy, and I don't like the 'word i esponsibility being thrown around this way. If students have the right to enforce rules, they should have the right to make them." Richard Kalich, president-elect of USG, said "It's a step backward, if anything." He said he considered the committee's proposal to be a "really sketchy outline." He said he would like to see "some concrete proposals." AWS President Alexis Brown was not available for comment last night. IFC President John Hunt said he would like to see better fraternity \representation in the visitation ruling. He said he. would make a proposal to that effect to the Ad ministrative sub-committee.

He also mentioned the possibility that Earth may be a vacation resort for sqme other-worldly beings but that the people of Earth are only to be looked at, almost like the animals in a zoo. Evidence exists that UFO visits have not been confined solely to the present age. Lopez read Ezekial's description of meeting a man with four faces. Ezekiel, not knowing what a space suit and breathing helmet looked like, could very . been describing _ the trayeling garb of a • space explorer. When asked why these beings don't try to contact the people of Earth, Lopez replied that they must not really want to talk to us, otherwise they would set down their saucer in fornt of the U.N. Building and say, 'We would like to address the United Nations." Lopez said he wished that instead of their "con tacting some nitwit who no one ever heard about, why don't they contact me?"

Bernreuter, com mittee chairman. The members of the Administrative Committee on Student Affairs have voted unanimously to amend the present apartment visiting rule. They have considered in detail all suggestions for a riew policy and have found none to be completely satisfactory. At the , meeting on April . 25, 1966, the Committee voted to consider a program that might involve the following elements: • Permission for women students to visit apartments under stated circumstances. • Elimination of the chaperonage requirement. • A party registration center in each major apart ment house, or apartment house area, established by the student residents of that area. • Visiting limited to those areas that have estab lished registration centers. , • A joint Town Independent Men Association of Women Students Board of Control which would have functions similar to the I.F.C. Board of Control. A sub-committee of the Administrative Committee ,on Student Affairs has been appointed to discuss this proposal with all appropriate student groups. It is com posed of the Dean of Men, the Dean of Women, and the Coordinator of Religious Affairs. N.Y. Publishers, Guilds Mediate Paper Walkout NEW YORK (IP) Officials of the merged but as yet unpublished World-Journal-Tribune held peace talks with striking newspaper guildsmen yesterday, while seeking court-enforced arbitration with six other unions. Federal Mediator Frank H. Brown brought the pub lishers together with the AFL-CIO Newspaper Guild of New York to negotiate on a deadlock over seniority ,in the discharge of employes in editorial. business and maintenance departments. "Not bad," was the way Brown described the 'climate of the talks, adding: "There are differences of opinion, but no personalities are involved." No Progress in Talks , However, ( when the talks , recessed overnight, guild eNecutiveofice.pre§ldent Thomesd. Murphy 'said "we made no progress 'on anythmg. In fact, I think we are further behind than we were on Nov. 2, 1962." • The date was the beginning of a 114-day newspaper tieup, the longest in the history of the industry in New York. About half the guild's 1,800 members on the Morning Herald Tribune and the afternoon World-Telegram and Sun and Journal-American are expected to lose their jobs in the merger of the three dailies into the World Journal Tribune. One afternoon paper and one Sunday paper are being eliminated by the amalgamation. Strike Blocks Publication The three papers published their final independent edi tions last weekend. But the guild strike Sunday blocked publication of the new Morning Herald Tribune and after noon World Journal. A new Sunday World Journal Tribune is scheduled for next Sunday. Members of the other newspaper unions are demanding neW contracts of their own with the World Journal Tribune. Of 5,700 employes on the three merged papers, about. 2,000 were expected to be laid off. The guild did not have a contract with the merged newspapers. As a result it was not included in a :federal court suit brought by the new firm against six other unions, including Local 6 of the AFL-CIO International Typo= graphical union. The ITU is deadlocked with the new publishers over an extension of. severance pay for 400 printers. Defendants Named Named defendants in' the suit with the ITU were unions of mailers, pressmen, lithographers-photoengravers, stereo typers, and newspaper and mail deliveries. These unions were under contract to the three defunct newspapers, but have been seeking new contracts with the World Journal Tribune. The suit contended the six unions are bound by terms of their old contracts, including arbitration of disputes. The court was asked to order the six unions to "arbitrate forthwith," John J. Gaherin, president of the Newspaper Pub lishers of New York, took issue during the day with a pre diction that the strike might prevent the new papers from ever ptiblishing. Such a suggestion came Monday from Gene Robb, presi dent of the American Newspaper Publishers Association, in a speech before that group. Gaherin replied, "That is the sort of statement that would be made by someone unfamiliar with the New York scene. We are working toward and hoping for a quick resolution of our problems so that we can get- ahead with publishing the newspapers." dents. Entries consisted of 35 or-more books, with quantity secondary to quality. Each entrant presented an annotated bibliography of at least 35 books, describing each volume and its special value or interest to him or her. Each participant provided a commen tary on his or her library covering the fol lowing points: how, why and when he be came interested in building a personal li brary; his ideals for a complete home library; and ten books he hopes to add to his library. Entries were either of a general personal library, a collection centered on a subject, or a collection of a single author or group 'of authors. Judges for the contest were: Robert E. Galbraith, professor emeritus of English composition; Henry A. Finch, professor of philosophy, and Ralph W. McComb, Uni versity librarian and archivist. Prizes were awarded on the basis of in telligent interest, knowledge of .books col lected are revealed in the annotations and commentary, scope and imagination shown in creating the collection, and its value as a nucleus for a permanent personal library.
