At a USG meeting at 7 p.m. in 203 Hetzel Union Building, Congress will con tinue last week's discussion on Town Congressman Bruce Macomber's bill to reconstitute the University Senate Com mittee on Student Affairs to include "equal, voting representatives of teach ing faculty and students." Congress will also consider .a bill in volving student representation on the new Faculty Senate's proposed committees dealing, with different facets of student life on campus.

Ground action picked up after five days of bad weather had restricted U.S. bombing and reconnaissance missions over North Vietnam. • In other action two Marine companies and two South Vietnamese companies—about 600 men in all—reported killing 14 North Vienamese regulars in heavy fighting with a Com munist force of undetermined size 10 miles south of the demilitarized zone between the two Vietnams. A U.S. Ist Infantry Division battalion-600 or 700 of the 30,000 Americans committed to Operation Attleboro stirred up light but con sistent contact with, hard-core forces of the Viet Cong, 60 miles northwest of Saigon. Meanwhile the count of enemy dead in Operation Attleboro rose to 965 with the discovery of 15, reported killed in air strikes. Viet Cong mortar shells exploded after nightfall at the command post of the U.S. 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, 40 miles west of Saigon. Casualties were reportedly light. The Nation Johnson Operation Successful WASHINGTON President Johnson came through tandem operations on his throat and abdomen in cheerful, satisfactory shape yesterday. Doctors reported no signs of cancer after an operation to remove a polyp on a vocal chord and to close an old incision from a gall bladder operation. Doctors ordered him "to make no formal speeches for a period of four to five weeks and to keep the use of his voice' at minimum," White House press secretary Bill Moyers reported. He added that the President will suffer three or four weeks of pain and discomfort as a result of the throbt operation. The President also has a touch of bursitis in his right shoulder, Moyers said. Four hours out of surgery, Johnson was smiling, touching thumb and fingertip in an "okay" sign and actual ly talking in a hoarse whisper in a 17-minute meeting with reporters:'Mrs. Johnson was asked if she ever had seen the President speechless before. "No," she smiled. "And we're going to make the most of it." - - * * * Jury Debates Sheppard Verdict CLEVELAND A jury sat once again in judgment on Samuel H. Sheppard, following his second trial in the murder of his wife Marilyn, 12 years ago. In a 40-minute charge to the jury, Common Pleas Judge Francis J. Tally gave them three possible verdicts with which to climax a 3 1 / 2 -week trial that begun Oct. 24. They are: guilty of second-degree murder—punishable by life imprison ment, with parole possible after 10 years; guilty of first degree manslaughter carrying a one- to 10-year prison term with parole possible after 11 months; acquittal and Sheppard's final release from a charge that has hung over his head since 1954 and has already cost him nine years in prison. Sheppard, 42, was sentenced to life Dec. 21, 1954 for second-degree murder after a nine-week trial. On July 16, 1964 he was released in $lO,OOO bail from the Ohio State Penitentiary. Last June 6, in a review of this decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered a new trial on grounds the "prejudicial publicity" and "a carnival atmosphre" at the first trial tainted the conviction. * * * Gemini Astronauts Hailed CAPE KENNEDY, Fla.—With kisses' of joy from rela tives and ringing applause from the launch team, America's champion Gemini 12 pilots returned to Cape Kennedy yesterday wishing "every person in the world" could have squeezed inside their spaceship. Wearing blue flight suits and beaming with pride, the pilots, Edwin E. Aldrin and James A. Lovell Jr., landed here in separate Navy planes at 11 a.m. after a two-hour trip from the aircraft carrier Wasp . ; which recovered them Tuesday from the western Atlantic. * * * The State • Scranton Appointee Apt3roved by Senate HARRISBURG Gov. Scranton yesterday -named Philadelphia Republican leader William A. Meehan to an interim appointment on the PennsylVania Turnpike Com mission; giving the GOP an edge in the political control of the agency. Meehan's appointment to the $15,000 position had failed to win Senate confirmation for the past two years, when the Democratic minority refused to provide the six votes necessary .for a two-thirds majority. Meehan will serve only through the 1967 legislative session unless confirmed to a full 10-year term by the Senate. If not confirmed; his interim appointment auto matically expires at the end of the 196$ session. There are approximately 1,000 patronage jobs involved In control of the Turnpike Commission. vq, tr o tt r o gt k t • s tl• 4fr • X 0 ofi l v t 13attg committees t , ) work on campus issues affecting students.

Term Defined The USG Congress agreed at last week's meeting that a teaching faculty member "teaches at. least one course per term and has the rank of assistant, associate or full professor. He is not listed 'on any major Administrative staff." But at the close of the meeting, Congress was . still—uncertain about the best, way to distinguish between often interrelated faculty and Administrative roles. • As an attempt to smooth out any future student-administration representa tive problems, USG executives have sub mitted a "long-range planning committee act" for - congressional consideration to- '—Collegian Photo by Dean Beasom The act calls for the establishment of a committee "to investigate and pro pose methods for the assimilation of all phases of student government with the dynamic change of the University. The committee would be composed of ex-officio congressional members, the USG president, and faculty and admin istrators appointed by the committee chairman. Kalich explained that the committee would deal with University proposed goals and bow student government would ef fectively work under major organizational changes. In addition to student representation bills, Congress will also face Freshman Class President Tim Houlihan's first piece Registration Continues Registration for the upcoming Public Relations Workshop continues today and to morrow on the ground floor of the Hetzel Union Building. • The Public Relations Workshop, a new service project sponsored by Theta Sigma Phi, national fraternity for women in jour nalism and communications, is open to all students and student groups. "We're sponsoring something that's been needed for a long time at this University," said Laurie Devine, workshop chairman. "We are having a day-long forum plus small group information sessions so students will have some idea of how to plan, promote and financially follow through with extensive campus publicity." The P. R. Workshop, to be held Satur day, Jan. 7, in the HUB, will feature verbal and written tips on how to utilize inexpen sive HUB promotion aids, how to save money and time on advertising and how to insure proper radio and newspaper coverage. "It's absolutely amazing how many peo ple and student,groupsblUnder when it comes -to publicity," TSP - President Deboirah-Stod dard said. "The Public Relations Workshop is designed to transmit enough enthusiasm and know-how that students will be able to project the best possible image of them selves and their groups." All those interested should register in the HUB today and tomorrow, Miss Stoddard said, so the workshop can be better tailored to meet the needs of the students in terms of both numbers and specific interests. It - achieved international acclaim under the late Fritz Reiner and retained its popularity when the',chain of command passed to Martinon in 1963. The Chicago Symphonj , maintains its own training orchestra in The Civic Orchestra of Chicago. This paetice seems to be one reason for the rave notices of the critics. The San Francisco News Call Bulletin says, "Here's an orchestra which has absolutely no dead wood in it. Every man was hand-picked." From the Los Angeles Times: "The Chicago Symphony has 'achieved its own type of sound, which is the earmark of a first class orchestra. The string tone is pure and shining and susceptible to an astonishing variety of dynamic gradation. The wood winds are supple' and transparent and the solo players of flute, oboe and clari net exhibited artistry of the first water." removed at the student's re quest and that they are al ways removed at graduation., The Committee then debated whether it was necessary to link disciplinary with aca demic performance at all, but no conclusion was reached. Also under discussion was the problem of the lack of student awareness: Although students may find out about their rights in the Guide to University Regulations, some members said that this was not enough. Again, no conclu sion was reached, and the discussion was tabled for further consideration at a later date. Faculty members of the Committee are: Richard Craig, assistant professor of plant breeding, Joseph J. Cramer, assistant professor of accounting, Barnes W. Mc- Cormick, professor of aero space engineering, Guy E. Rindone, associate professor of ceramic technology, Wal ter I. Thomas, head of the department • of agronomy, Harold B.

Willard Wirtz, calling the military draft unfair, yesterday proposed a national "opportunity board" to register youths for- com munity service, education and job training as well as mili try service. He said it could be tried on a voluntary basis first,.and possibly made compulsory 14er if necessary. Wirtz told Catholic University, students they were dealing with "a Selective Service System more haphazard and inequitable than any method yet tried or suggested for selection for military service." In his prepared speech, he said the present draft sys tem "almost compels, as I see it, some kind of lottery sys tem for selection for military service." Wirtz was the second major Johnson administration official to suggest a draft lottery, which is opposed by the Selective° Service. Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara said in a Harvard University interview earlier this month that a national lottery would help in "eliminating the deficiencies" of the present draft system. Both Wirtz and McNamara said specific action should await the report' of the National Commission on Selective Service appointed by Presi dent Johnson. The report is due in January, The commission is also considering "a broad-scale national service program." Wirtz suggested his na tional "opportunity board" proposal be tried first on an entirely voluntary basis. He proposed that every boy and girl register with the community at age 18, that the community have the obligation .of providing every youth two years , of further education, job train ing or a job, or a comtnu nity • service program, and "that it be recognized as the youth's obligation, in return, to use this opportunity." On the possibility of making such registration compulsory, Wirtz said "It would be precisely those who present the most serious problems, both for themielves and for the com munity, who would fail to take advantage of any or all of the options which were offered them; and their continuing misdemeanors would make a new system seem not to be working even if it were in fact improving the general situation materially." Wirtz called the unfairness of the present military draft system only part of an infihitely larger problem of pro viding opportunity for all American youths. "There is as much reason, and more, to require every American youth to 'register' for living as for fighting," he said. of legislation. Houlihan has subniitted a resolution to establish a freshman class subsidiary fund through the Association of Student Activities. His bill calls for a maximum loan of $lO,OOO from ASA for the present, and all future, freshman classes for "one major event to form the basis of a class treasury" to be used towards the class gift According to the bill, the loan will be paid back from the net profits from the event at a rate of 10 per cent interest. In case of a financial loss on the event, the bill stipulates that the elaLis will pay the loan back from the profits of all future programs "until the debt is paid." In this case, the interest rate would jump to 20 per cent. Also on the agenda is a bill for USG appropriations on $l5O to pay the tuition costs of five USG-selected participants in the National Training Laboratory. Each person registering must pay a $3 fee to cover costs of obtaining adequate writ ten material for everyone attending the workshop. "We must know, by the end of this term, how many persons will be at the workshop so we can supply enough materials and physical facilities," Miss Devine said. Format of the workshop will include panel discussions on general information in the morning (10 a.m. to noon) and small group discussion and question and answer sessions in the afternoon (1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.). The panel discussion will include Wil liam F. Fuller, manager of Associated Stu dent Activities, on' HUB publicity facilities; John D. Vairo, assistant professor of jour nalism, on general and specific public rela tions principles; Phil guagnano, WDFM sta tion manager, on town and campus radio op portunities; Helen Van Nordin, business manager for The Daily Collegian, on Col legian and Centre Daily Times advertising policies, rates and deadlines; and Miss Devine and Miss Stoddard, members of the Collegian Board of Editors, on Collegian news and edi torial policy and how to use them. Miss Stoddard emphasized that the work shop can be "of practical benefit" to all stu dents, because information offered will pro vide general publicity cues which can carry over after graduation. "Almost every student group is either worried about its image or how to get its messages across to the student body," Miss Devine said. "The Public Relations Workshop will try to offer \viable answers for both problems." Wirtz Criticizes Draft System Un-Amsrican HUAC ••See Page 2 SEVEN CENTS ASA Loan W. WILLARD WIRTZ
