Northeast winds of more than 60 miles an hour pushed the sea over weakened dikes. Officials said the broad. delta south of • Venice would not have one square inch of dry land if the weather kept up. More than 48 hours of driving rain lashed the islands formed by 10 branches of the mighty Po River, where it empties in the Adriatic. The second straight day of stormy weather in the area hampered hundreds of soldiers and civilians who had labored since the disastrous Nov. 4 floods to repair and strengthen the mile of earthen levees that ring the islands. ' The new crisis in the Po delta came two weeks after. the most extensive floods in Italy's history had swamped the north and central regions. Propose Investigation For Seating Red China UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. Italy proposed yesterday that the General Assembly create a small, high level study committee to devise a practical method for breaking the 16 yhar old impasse over seating Communist ,China. Attilio Piccioni, Italian senator and former fothign min ister made the proposal as the 121 nation assembly opened its annual debate on Chinese representation. He said it would provide a fresh, approach to`the problem. Initial reaction to the Italian proposal was, cool on almost all sides. Supporters of Peking said it was a de laying action because the committee would report back to the next General Assembly. A U.S. spokesman was non commital. Piccioni told the assembly that one factor inhibiting the situation' was uncertainty over attitude of Peking toward U.N. membership.

The obligation to abstain, from meat is still, binding on Ash Wednesday and on Good Friday. For the other Fridays ,of Lent, the bishops declared that the tradition of abstinence. from theat,was preserved. This leaves it up to the consciences of individual Catholics whether' to,'abstain from meat or do other forms of penance on these Fridays, but the bishops declared that "we 'are confident that no Catholic Christian will likely hold himself excused," from the penitential practice of refraining from meat.

The stay is effective until the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals rules on the lower court's integration order. The trustees of the boys school appealed the ruling of:U.S. District Court Judge Joseph S.

Judge Lord had given the trustees until Wednesday to begin admission proceedings for seven Negro boys named in a suit brought by the state' of Pennsylvania and the city of Philadelphia.

Liberation Front Plan Survey of Centre County Welfare By BETH GOLDER Collegian Staff Writer A joint committee of Students for a Democratic Society and the Hillel Liberation Front is making plans for a survey to investigate the welfare situation in County. A survey taken in New York City after the 1960 census revealed that only half of the people with incomes under $2,070 a year (the welfare eligi bility level) were on welfare. Donald W. Woodworth, an instructor of Eng lish, brought up this fact at the Tues day night meeting of SDS to propose that the welfare situation in Centre County be investigated. Leverett Millen, the committee chairman, stated that "this (survey) will be the basis of any action we will take." He mentioned that the project is not connected with the groups' views on Vietnam. It is just a humanitarian project. ' Numerous Groups Help According to Millen, the commit tee proposes involving high school stu dents and church groups in taking the survey and, if further action is indi cated, in making families aware of their ,right to welfare payments. The groups will canvas State College, Bellefonte 'and rural communities in Centre County. He has' the aid of The Rev.• Mr. Alan Cleeton, the director of ,Wesley Foundation, in contacting se feral groups. , • Millen cited an : August article in Nursery School Teaches Pre-Schoolers Basic Elements of Education UNIVERSITY PARK, PA., SATURDAY , MORNING, NOVEMBER 19, 1966 ° 4 1 z the New York Times for an example of civil rights involvement in the wel fare situation. The article states that• a - dozen welfare clients from New York City attended the nation's first Welfare Rights Convention. Formed mainly under the guidance of organ izers schooled in the civil rights move ment, the client groups are calling on welfare administrators to give them what the law requires, to raise relief grants at least to the poverty line established by the Federal Govern ment, and to treat welfare clients with dignity. Concerning • the welfare payment discrepancy, Woodworth stated that "a broad and general call ought to go out to locate families and help them Ag Hill Party Scheduled Tonight The College of Agriculture will hold ' its 17th annual student-faculty party tonight from• 7 to 9 p.m. in the Hetzel Unkin ballroom.

Kennedy The World University Service is/ "an international student' 'self-help organization, consisting of students on carhpuses throughout the world," ac cording to Marty Ghen (7th-labor management relations - Philadelphia), co-ordinating chairman of WUS at the University. WUS is active •on more than 200 college an d university campuses throughout the world. On some cam puses, a WUS week similar to Greek Week at the University, is held. On this campus, WUS is •spon sored by the University Christian As sociation. The Rev. Mr. Joseph D. Ban, executive-director of UCA, is the WUS advisor. Drive During Third Week Each year during the third week of Winter 'term, WUS solicits funds. Contributions to WUS go to education projects in underdeveloped "countries. "WUS is college students through out the world-helping other students; - and for this reason funds are not soli cited from the public' at large," Ghen said. , WUS is currently located in over 50 countries and is supporting over 100 projects in 23 nations. WUS funds are used 'in all areas of education including student hous ing studeht health and educational facilities, and individual and - emergency aid. WUS Builds Campus Typical of WUS projects is a uni versity campus being built by students to receive the benefits." He mentioned that in August the Centre Daily Times, probably with the aid of census fig ures, estimated that 400 to 600 cul turally deprived children in the county qualfiied for Project Head Start. "A Strategy to End Poverty," is the title of an article in The Nation, which Woodworth quoted in support of the proposed SDS-HLF project. The authors are a professor of social wel fare and a research associate at the Coluthbia University School of Social Work. According to the' article, Wood worth said, "if a large number of people were added to the welfare rolls, it would cause a fiscal problem at the city level." He mentioned the need for a "broad kind of program which would recognize the dignity of people by guaranteeing la subsistence income. Of the people on the welfare rolls, he said most ' families receive "60 to 70 per cent of the income needed" for ade- : quate, support. Woodworth stressed that in the last ten 'years automation has been putting many families out of work. Before, the' war in Vietnam unemploy ment was at five or six per cent. Also, for Negroes the level was nine to twelve per cent and for those between the ages of 16 ,and 25, as high as 25 per cent. He questioned the philosophy of "you eat if you work—when there is no work." ney Sclair 'and a Ph.

Early 'Selection "Children are •selected to par ticipate in the program almost . before birth," said Miss Stcoks bury, and to prove her point, she cited an amusing case in which a mother called to register her daughter on the Way back from the hospital delivery - room. The policy for• selection of chil (hien divides all registration cards of those eligible for the three year-old sessions 'into eight groups, each in• order of age at application, according to particu lar groupings of - months of the year. Of necessity,. only a certain number of children from each are selected to participate in the pro • dram, in order/. to balance the schools according fa ,age and sex. This gives the schools'an oppor tunity ,to,make comparisons and to ensure valid - resurfs frOm 'any in Uruguay, for only $lO,OOO. • Ghen said, in contributing to WUS students are "actually doing for stu dents in other countries what we al ready have here." In order to get WUS aid, a project must be student, or student-faculty, initiated; directed towards meeting a real need in the field of education; sensibly related to other efforts to satisfy that need; and thoroughly planned. It must also be something of a pioneer effort; able to be operated 'on local funds once initiated; an instru ment for promoting student-faculty co operation and understanding; and an Instrument for promoting international cooperation and understanding. Areas where WUS projects are located include Hong Kong, Pakistan, Vietnam, Chile, Nicaragua, India, Greece, Korea, Peru, Angola, Union of South Africa. Continued Since 1920 WUS was begun in 1920 when stu dents in the United States and else where launched a drive for the relief of refugees in Vienna, Austria. Since then WUS continued to aid worthy educational projects throughout the world. At the University the WUS drive will run from Jan. 18-27, part of the second week and third week of the winter term. Ghen hopes that through this year's dual objective program, the WUS drive will overcome two of the major problems of previous campaigns —students not knowing what WUS is, and not knowing where to contribute. The twofold objective of this year's Guarantees Subsistance testing which. May be. done. Per iodic' vacancies occurring in the nursery school are filled from the groups, and all children may con- Untie in the school the following, year if their parents so desire. Population Equal "An unusual number of faculty children are enrolled in the nur sery," said Miss Stooksbury, "but only because their, parents, being on campus, are familiar with the school and are awara that its fa cilities are available.. We have been accused of employing an arbitrary method of selection, but actually about an equal number of faculty children, and of those from the immediate‘Stato..Collega area are enrolled." What people frequently forget is that - the nursery program is a laboratory by nature noc a business. One of the several tests which , is currently being adminis tered tolhe children is the Pea body Picture'-;Vocabulary Test , to determine I.4.'Pennev Low, a're search assistant in - the nursery department, explained that the examiner says a word and asks the child to point to' its picture. "Thus fat.,",she continued," the scores liaVe been high, but then we' have'an'excePtional gimp of drive will be to educate students con cerning WUS and to solicit funds for WUS. Highlights of the WUS campaign will include a visit from a United Na tions delegate, a forum on jobs' avail able overseas for students with repre sentatives of the Peace Corps, Volun teers in Service Abroad, YM-YWCA, and WUS. One of the main fund raising parts of the drive will be the second annual "Beauty and the Beast" Contest-Jam my, in which any independent organ ization can enter a beautiful girl paired with a male made up as a beast. ' According to Ghen, the goal set for this year's WUS drive is $2,500. Ghen urges any individual or or ganization, including dorm houses, in terested in helping with the WUS cam paign, "a very worthwhile philan thropic organization," to contact one of the campaign chairmen. The chairmen of the WUS cam paign are Marty Ghen, coordinating chairman; Barry Goldmiere, solicita tion chairman; Ruth Gillman, educa tion chairman; and Kathleen Diggs. Some of the organizations which have pledged their support to the WUS drive are Gamma Sigma Sigma service sorority, Alpha Phi Omega service fra ternity and the Association of Women Students. Included in the groups backing WUS nationally are the National Stu dent Council, the National Inter-Fra ternity Council, the National Pan-Hel lenic Council, B'nal B'rith Hillel Foun dations at American Universities, the National Newman Club Federation and the National Student Christian Foun dation.
