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.

Legislation to permit the sale

to investigate student opinion on
the University Senate’s proposed
final examination period is on
the agenda for the Undergraduate
Student Government meeting at

Building. .
■ Not on the agenda is a planned
visit by representatives of Stu

to present' a list of issues for
USG action. 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

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.

SDS Challenges USG Action

PHILADELPHIA iff)— Republican Raymond P. Shafer
called on Milton Shapp, the Democratic candidate for gov

charges,'USG President Richard
Kalich said, “We appreciate any
students coming to USG meet

might have. 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

such action necessary. Kalich re

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.”

challenges or questions directly

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. More than 1,300
tickets soM Were to commonwealth campus

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. Owrentlv **—" are receiving
more than 500 fan letters a week.
Each member of the group comes from a

sisters. Florence has 12, and Mary three.
