U. N. Topebate Reprdsentation for China
,
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. A formula for dealing with
the U.N. China question on the basis of "political realities"
was reported gaining ground yesterday on the eve of the
General Assembly's annual debate on the question.
It, was regarded as a step toward the eventual seating
of Communist Chine and keeping Nationalist China in the
United Nations. But for this year at least, the Peking gov
ernment was expected to be kept out,
Diplomatic sources said the formula, promoted by Italy,
would have the assembly set up a special committee to make
a year's study of the question of China's U.N. representa
tion and recommend "an appropriate solution, taking into
account the political realties ,in the area."

Officials Note South Vietnam Deterioration
WASHINGTON Signs of enemy deterioration in South
Vietnam are mounting and some Pentagon officials believe
the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese are finding it harder
than ever to enforce their military will.
Sources said yesterday they are basing this optimistic
assessment on these factors:
The North Vietnamese and Viet Cong have not been able
to increase their net number, of troops in the past 15 weeks
after a long period of steady growth.
Viet Cong atrocities are, mounting.
Enemy defections are 'Mounting.
Enemy food losses are growing.
"These are all signs that one should watch for," said
one official. "If they continue and mature, the end product
certainly will be favorable for us."
U. S. Court Enters Georgia EleCtion Issue
ATLANTA, Ga. A federal court decision yesterday bar
ring, the election of Georgia's next governor by the legislature
sent' the issue of a winless contest to the U.S. Supreme
Court. State attorneys prepared an immediate appeal.
No remedy was offered by the three-judge court's ruling
on a major question in the deadlocked, no-majority race
between Republican Howard Callaway and Democrat Lester
G. Maddox. •
'lf the decision is upheld, a runoff between the two men
or•a special election eventually will result. But court battles
could delay the final outcome 'for months, forcing. Gov. Carl
E. Sanders to hold over past the Jan. 10 inauguration date.
' "I applaud this decision," Cdllaway said. Maddok, who
- said last week he was glad the legislature would decide the
race, remarked that he had anticipated that the matter
would be handed back to the state.

- Eisenhower-Plans Possible Goodwill Trip
,WASHINGTON An improving President Johnson con
ferred yesterday in his hospital quarters with former President
Dwight D. Eisenhower and suggested he' undertake a good
will mission to Asia and other areas of the world.
White House press secretary Bill D. Moyers said the
whole idea is tentative.
But Rep. Carl Albert, the Democratic House leader from
Oklahoma, also saw Johnson and got the' impression that
the trip is pretty definitely decided on although the timing
has not been determined. Albert told newsmen:
"The President had mentioned to me, by a little memo
randum, that he had his visit with President Eisenhower and
what a fine thing that was, how great it was that President.
Eisenhower was going out to visit- Asia and other parts of
the world, probably next spring."

The: Undergraduate Student Government

consideration-after Congress passed two bills
dealing with the long-running issue.
Congress voted its unanimous approval
of Town Congressman Bruce Macomber's
bill to revamp the senate Committee on
Student Affairs to include a 50-50 balance
of students and teaching faculty members
with equal voting privileges.
Congress amened the bill to have teach

According to the bill, the committee
will decide on a revision of the existing rules
and regulations for students and submit
its changes for a student body referendum
for approval.

,Congress also unanimously passed a bill
offering suggestions for student representa
tion on the new University Senate's pro
posals, still in the planning form, to set up
committees to deal with academic, admis
sion, and athletic standards ,involving stu
dents.
50 Per Cent Students
The bill provides that where "the im
pact of a Senate committee's actions bears
directly on students, student representation
on a committee should be 50 per cent."
For committees having a "discernible but
very indirect affect on students," the bill
calls for one representative.
For a committee having a "completely
indiscernible effect on students," no student
representation is necessary, the bill states.
All student representatives on the com
mittees will be eledted for a year's tenure
by USG Congress which will consider any
student nominated for • election to a com
mittee, the bill further provides.
Stokley Carmichael, chairman of the
Student Non-Violent Coordinating Coin
mittee, will speak at the University on
Jan. 30, it was announced last night.
The Student Union for Racial Equality,
who is sponsoring_ Carmichael, plans a
week long Conference on Black Power
to be keynoted by the Carmichael speech.
SURE chairman, John Warner, said
the Rev. Alan Cleeton and the American
Friends Service Committee have each
pledged $lOO towards financing Car
michael's appearance. SURE members
will contact faculty members and organ
izations affiliated with the University in
an effort to get more support, said SURE
Vice President, William Samson.

Speaker Discusses
Alcoholic. Effects
On ,Redsoning Ability
By CHARLES REDMOND
Collegian Staff Writer
"Seventy-five per cent of all college students in the
country drink alcoholic beverages, the United States is now
number one in the world in the number of alcoholics per
capita and alcoholism is the fourth major health problem,
ranking after mental illness, cancer, and heart disease."
' To make known the problems and dangers of this in
dulgence, David L. Grimm, Executive Director of the Penn
sylvania Alcohol Education Foundation, was -on campus
this week, speaking and presenting a film to students in
all residence hall areas.'
, "We are neither condoning nor disapproving drinking.
It is the object of our foundation to inform students of the
danger and consequences of alcohol, not to decide for them,"
Grimm said.
Drinking Causes Accidents
•
According to the National Safety Council, 50 per cent
of all traffic deaths occur because one or more of the
victims are under the influence of alcohol. "Because of the
percentage of people tinder, the influence of alcohol involved
in traffic accidents the chances of your becoming involved
in an accident after drinking are • increased 55 times,"
Grimm said.
According to Grimm one way that the number of
accidents can, be reduced would be to unify the age limits
between the,various states. Forty states now have a drink
ing age limit of, 21, whereas the other 10 have combinations
where an 18-year-old can buy beer' but not whisky, or
can buy both.
According to Grimm, Governor-elect Raymond P.
Shafer has said he will' push a - uniform national drinking
age. "I don't care if it is 21 or 18," Grimm said, as long as
it is uniform. "One of our, biggest worries is the person
that drives across. state lines to get alcohol when it in
volves driving back drunk," he said. "By eliminating this
long distance travel on the part of teen-agers to get alcohol,
we will re removing from the highway a potential traffic
hazard," he added.
Time To Eliminate
In discussing factors that contribute to drunkenness,
Grimm said: "The liver can handle one ounce of alcohol
per hour. Nothing can speedup the elimination process.
Howev.er, the presence of food in the stomach will lengthen
the time required for the alcohol to reach the brain, and
thereby give the liver more time to eliminate it.
"It is also a fallacy to say that mixed drinks are more
potent in making people drunk. The more undiluted the
alcohol is, the ,faster the blood stream will carry it to the
brain." he said.
. "But this is the equivalent of nine drinks, nine beers,
or nine one-ounce shots of whisky, and this amount of alco
hol in the blood stream can seriously impare the brain's
reasoning ability," Grimm said.
- In supporting a legal drinking age limit versus no age
•
limit, at all, Grimm said: "A legal age keeps drinking in a
controlled situation. I don't think any of us are naive
enough to think that it eliminates all 'underage drinking,
but it at least limits, drinking to controllable levels."
