VOL. .67, No. 21 from fhe associated press L News Roundup: From the State, Nation b World The World Johnson Leaves Manila Today for Thailand MANILA. Safely back from Vietnam, President Johnson leaves today for a personal look at Thailand, the nation many believe is next on the Communist timetable for conquest in Asia. He goes first to an airbase in Thailand, and Friday will begin his state visit to Bangkok. Next week he goes on to Malaysia, and later South Korea, before returning * - • home. Yesterday, with the Manila conference wound up, Johnson went first to the historic island of Corregidor, the “Rock” of World War 11. Then, in effect, he disappear ed from public view,. and amidst great secrecy took off across the South China Sea. He turned up at Cam Ranh Bay, a huge U. S. military complex in South Vietnam north of Saigon. That was his only stop in Vietnam. He went to Vietnam, he told the Gls there, because - he “could not come to this part of the world and not come to see you.” " 'The'Presiderrh'Tspent'two' hours and 4 minutes on Viet namese soil, and got closer to an actual U. S. battlefield than any president since Abraham Lincoln He ate with the troops, visited with the wounded, pinned medals on heroes, signed dozens of autographs, shook hundreds of hands and de . livered an emotional speech, telling the soldiers they were ' fighting a “vicious and illegal aggression across this little nation’s frontier.” Fire Sweeps Aircraft Carrier in Vietnam SAIGON. South Vietnam A raging fire that broke out yesterday in a locker containing night illumination flares swept through five decks of the U. S. aircraft carrier Oriskany, killing 43 men and putting the warship out of action as a floating base for all strikes against North Vietnam. The fire started about'7:4s a.mT, shortly before Presi dent Johnson visited American troops at the big U. S. base in Cam Ranh Bay, 180 miles northeast of Saigon. Sixteen other men were injured seriously in the blaze. Two helicopters were destroyed and four A4E Skyhawk jet fighter-bombers were damaged. The carrier, a veteran of the Korean War, was expected to go to Subic Bay in the Philippines for repairs. The Oriskany carries about 70 airplanes of Carrier Air Wing 16, and about 3,500 men. Fast action by plane crews and fire fighters prevented rockets, bombs and fuses from going off, and a greater loss of life and equipment.

SDS has charged USG with being an “ineffective student government” and an nounced it will seek USG’s co operation to work on what it terms “major campus problems.” Among the issues are: • the provision of legal counsel to all students involved in dis ciplinary disputes • the establishment .of a stu dent owned and operated book store Shapp Challenges Opponent To Live Television Debate CLARKSVILLE, (AP) Democrat Milton Shapp yesterday challenged Lt. Gov. Raymond P. Shafer, his Republican opponent for gov ernor, to a live election-eve debate on all the issues of the 1966 campaign. Shapp set out into the Democratic heart land of Southwestern Pennsylvania accusing the Republicans of a campaign based on “fear, smear and hysteria.” He issued his challenge for a comprehensive debate in an address prepared for the annual dinner of the Greene County Democratic Committee at Clarksville. “Because they have nothing to offer the people, the Republicans have descended into the gutter in a mud-slinging effort intended to obscure their failure to protect the people's interest,” Shapp asserted. He added: “The con duct of my opponent’s party is an insult to the intelligence of the voters. Because of the gutter tactics of my opponent’s keepers, there is a need,once again to lift this campaign back to the high level . . . “In view of this need, I challenge Raymond Shafer to an election-eve debate on the issues over live television. Let the people judge in an atmosphere free of abuse.” Fog delayed the arrival of Shapp’s flight into Pittsburgh and forced the cancellation of a scheduled helicopter hop to Pittsburgh suburbs. Shapp took to automobile caravan to make the tours on his schedule.

We welcome student, interest of any sort. . “A member of the gallery is privileged to express his opinion for three minutes when recog nized by the chairman, or has had the floor yielded to him by a member of Congress as long as his discussion is germaine to the issue on the floor,” Kalich continued, referring to the SDS . members who have no repre sentative on Congress. Accord ing to USG by-laws, the presi dent may limit any discussion from the floor if he considers such action necessary. Kalich re served any further comment paigning were prompted by a half-hour GOP paid television show, which he said was “doc tored” to misrepresent his position and assas sinate his character. One part of the television show which Shapp protested concerned what he called an attempt to capitalize on his brief association with Harvey F. Johnson of McKees Rocks, the president of the National Association for the Advancement of White People. Shapp said that last April he paid John son $15,000 to work for him in the primary. However, Shapp. said he repudiated John son’s support and disassociated himself from the realtor about two weeks later, when "I found out what his views really were.” The Republicans are making a big issue of this on TV,” he said. “They skip the fact that I repudiated him, and they used him in two campaigns and never repudiated him.” Shapp produced a Nov. 3, 1962, issue of a Pittsburgh newspaper which showed Gov. Scranton then candidate for governor, in John son’s McKees Rocks office dunking a doughnut as Johnson looked over his shoulder. Johnson served as head of the Democrats for Scranton in Western Pennsylvania- four years ago and two years ago served as head of the Democrats for Goldwater in this area, Shapp declared. “The Republicans never bothered to re pudiate the racist views of Johnson,” he said, "I did.” Shafer Asks Shapp To Name ‘Bribers' stating he will answer any SDS challenges or questions directly from the floor at the meeting. Finals Discussion One major piece of legislation, already in working form, is the bill to investigate whether stu dents are in agreement with the proposed final examination period. Under the Senate’s pro posal, all finals would be given only during the week following the last week of classes of each term. No students would take finals on the last day of classes according to the proposal. The bill calls for a student referendum to be conducted by the third week of winter term. The question, similar to the one on the ballots for the USG Con gressional elections last week, would also be included on the ballots in the spring executive elections. Results from the ques tion on the Congressional elec tion ballot showed a ratio of approximately two to one op " posing the idea. Scheduling will be done ac cording to the period that classes' normally meet. Results from both the refer endum and the spring elections would then be submitted to the Senate when it reconsiders the proposal in late spring or sum mer, according to the bill. Problems, Grievances The Administrative Awareness Committee would “serve any students with problems or griev ances in the administrative sphere,” the bill reads. This would include any complaints on University facilities, rules and regulations and administrative personnel. Complaints the com mittee finds valid will then go through “appropriate ' channels,” according to the bill. The committee would work in conjunction with the already in stituted Academic Awareness Committee and Legal Awareness Committee. All three are under the auspices of the Student Af fairs Commission. The final bill on the agenda, if passed, would allow campus sales of off-campus publications The Fabulous Ones Are Double Sell-Out For IFC The Interfraternity Council will present the Supremes in two concerts at 7:30 and 10 p.m. Nov. S in Recreation Building. Last May, IFC Social Chairman Skip Lange and Arthur Esch (llth-finance-Arlington, Va.) began preparations for the concert. At the time, the two said they expected 40 per cent participation by fraternity men, and so they geared their advertising to attract as many more people as possible. But they calculated incorrectly, for 100 per cent of the fraternity men planned to attend the concert. About three weeks ago, realizing that the demand for tickets would surpass the supply, the IFC Social Committee scheduled a second concert. Thirteen thousand students now have tickets for the concert and more students still want some, Lange said. Tickets For Greeks The tickets for the fraternity men went cn sale Oct. 12, and by the time ticket sales were open to the public on Oct. 12, the first concert was sold out. Tickets for the second concert went on sale Oct. 24, and within 45 minutes they were sold- out. That was 6,500 tickets sold in 45 minutes. Block tickets for the second concert were on sale until Oct, 21. Besides the Supremes, the concert will also .feature two other groups from Motown. The Supremes will be' on stage for approxi mately one hour. Ushering the concert will be all available Campus Patrolmen and, for the first concert, members of hat societies will also usher. An ROTC unit will usher the second concert along with the Campus Patrolmen. According to. Esch, ■ IFC tried its best to sell as many tickets as possible' to people who wanted to see the Supremes.

Straw Vote Other scheduled business in cludes a straw vote on the pro posed mock elections. The elec tions, where students would vote for either Democratic candidate Milton J.

Esch said the IFC will have about 45 min utes to clear 6,500 people from Rec Hall and usher another 6,500 into it. “Right now, Esch said, the problem is logistics, seating 13,000 people and getting them out” Esch said. According to Esch, this weekend has been unofficially labelled IFC Weekend. 1 It will be the second 2 o’clock weekend for coeds in a row. It will be followed by another 2 o’clock weekend for the Military Ball. Mary, Diana, Florence Diana Ross, Florence Ballard, and Mary Wilson make up the Supremes trio. These three girls have been close friends since their child hood in Detroit. The girls auditioned for Berry Gordy Jr., president of Motown Records. Gordy told them to come back when they finished high school. A year later the girls returned to Gordy’s studios and recorded “I Want A Guy” and that record sold more than a quarter of a million copies. The girls call it a mild hit. The Supremes subsequently had hit upon hit: songs such as “Come See About Me”, “Baby Love” and their newest "You Keep Me Hangin’ On”. In all, The Supremes have had 10 gold records. The three girls all agree that their “sound” is strictly blues with a pop beat. Diana, sings lead, while Florence sings top and Mary sings bottom. Besides appealing to teenagers, the Su premes are making the scene with the older set._ Recently the three played at ihe Copaca bana in New York.
