VOL. 67, No. 53 from the associated press News Roundup: From the State, Nation & World The World Opposition to Mao Crops Up in Sinkiang TOKYO While Mao Tse-tung's forces were hailing smashing victories in the cultural revolution, a report from Peking said yesterday opposition had cropped up in far-off Sinkiang Province on the Soviet border. The Peking correspondent of the newpaper Yomiuri said that since Mao's return to Peking to take personal direction of the purge the chaotic situation on the main land seemed to have passed its peak. Radio Peking reported victory of Mao's forces in the big port of Shanghai. 'But the newspaper Asahi in a Peking dispatch said wall posters told of opposition to Mao in Sinkiang that had spread to the army. • • The posters reported that pro-Mao forces held demon strations and sit-down strikes against "bourgeois reaction ary forces" in Urumchi, the prOvincial capital of what the Red Chinese call the Sinkiang Uighur autonomous region. The demonstrations came after demands of the Red Guards and revolutionary students were rejected on Dec. 18. The posters did not say what the demands were. * * * The Nation Hoffa Demands Wage Hikes for Truckers WASHINGTON—Teamsters Union President James R. Hoffa, jaunty and chipper despite the threat of imprison ment, demanded yesterday some seven per cent in wage hikes for 500,000 workers in the trucking industry. In a massive confrontation of union and trucking in dustry negotiators, Hoffa asked 75 cents an hour pay raises over 'three years, increased mileage payments, bet ter pensions and vacations and a guaranteed 40-hour week for teamsters. Truckers' pay now ranges from $3.32 to about $5 an hour. Head industry negotiator'. Donald Cantlay of Truck ing Employers, Inc. said he couldn't estimate immediately what .the cost of the demands.would be. After reading through his 86-page contract proposal, Hoffa told newsmen he expects to remain head, of the union bargaining team despite his eight year prison sen tence for jury tampering. Hoffa added that he will pre sent new evidence within a week in his quest for a new trial._ Court Denies Motion to Dismiss Baker WASHINGTON Wayne L2Bromley, a key witness in the Bobby Baker case, testified yesterday that he got checks from Baker, would cash them and then give the money to Baker. Bromley took the witness stand for a second day after U.S. District Court Judge Oliver Gasch announced that he had denied a defense motion_to dismiss the charges against Baker because of "bugging" incidents, that had occurred during the investigation. Baker, former , secretary to the Senate Democratic majority, is charged with income tax evasion, conspiracy and other offenses involving financial dealings. Gasch gave no reason for his ruling, saying only that "the court has denied the defense motion to dismiss and to suppress." * * * The State Philadelphia Haggles Over Church-State Law PHILADELPHIA The Pennsylvania Supreme Court, splitting 5-2 upheld yesterday the constitutionality of a 1965 state law requiring transportation -af- - private and parOchial school students in public school buses. Only students in schools operated without profit are affected. Specifically, the court ruled that the busing of non public pupils on routes traveled by public school vehicles primarily involved the safety of the children. Taxpayers in Montgomery and Delaware counties, later joined by four Philadelphia religious groups, had attacked the law as violating the federal concept of separation of church and state. Atty. William D. Thorn, representing Mrs. Betty Worrell of Delaware county, said he would appeal im mediately to the U. S. Supreme CiTurt. Justice Michael A.

An audience of 125 Negroes and whites heard John Wilson, proj ect director of the Student Non-Violent Co ordinating Committee (SNCC) in Philadel phia, cite the main' problem in American society as "exploitation not race." The words racism and *exploitation are often heard together, said Wilson. But, the difference is that racism is developed and exploitation comes naturally to Americans, he said. He said the only solution is the de struction of the System which fosters this exploitation. White Paternalism Describing the long history of white paternalism towards American Negroes, Wilson decried past civil rights legislation as unnecessary and called for action in the Shafer Takes Oath of Office HARRISBURG (AP) Ray mond P. Shafer was sworn in as Pennsylvania's 39th con stitutional governor yesterday and immediately pledged to make the Commonirealth the "most envied state in the na tion. "Pennsylvania will speak with a strong voice," Shafer declared moments after he had solemnly taken the oath of of fice administered by Chief Justice John C. Bell of the State Supreme Court. "And the voice will be heard throughout the land. With im agination, with boldness and with enthuslaSm, we shall make Pennsylvania the most envied state in the nation. "This will not be an admin istration of dreams. It will be an administration of vision," he said. - - . Justice Dell began the oath at 12:12 p.m:, five minutes off schedule, but still excellent timing considering all the de tails that went into the plan ning of the day-long cere monies.

The radio sale, Smiley said,-will be similar to the one held last winter term. The General Electric radios will be sold at wholesale prices to all students. The Speaker's List is a list of all University professors willing to speak informally with any student group on topics of the speaker's choosing. It was published last term on an experimental basis and according to Smiley, met with "quite a favorable response from both' faculty and students." The list was available to the residence halls only. The MRC (Continued on page three) candidate have a minimum 2.00 cumulative average and a 2.00 previous term average to qualify. The candidate must be" enrolled at _the University during fall, winter and spring terms and must have at least fcur remaining terms as an undergraduate student. The bill lists a Jan. 26 du..- date for all self-nominating petitions which must in clude the candidates name, address, local telephone number, term standing, term av erage, cumulative average, and first choice of committee. Each candidate must also include a 100 word statement defining his views on the role of a student representative and listing his own reasons for seeking a committee seat. On Feb. 2, Kalich said, USG will vote on student representatives. If a candidate is not selected for the committee of his choice, he may request further voting to put him on a committee of lesser procedure. A student may "human rights movement." "The number one spectator sport in this country is not football, it's not baseball, it's not basketball, it's watching some cracker beat black folks over the head on CBS." Wilson said. He claimed that the only time progress has been made in the human rights movement is when people have suffered and been beaten and thrown in jail. Then you get federal registrars, he said. Culture Usurped "When a man is in prison they take away his clothes and give him a uniform and they take away his name and give him a number but when he leaves he gets his suit back and he gets his name back," he continued. "When the slaves were set 'free' they didn't get their clothes back, and they didn't get their names back," he added. As of. Collegian deadline' a discussion and question period was still._ in progress By MIKE SERRILL Collegian Staff Write? (EDITOR'S NOTE: A team of nine Peace Corps. recruiters will arrive on campus next week to talk to and seek applications from Penn State students. The following is the second in a series of articles on current issues facing the" Peace Corps.) When news of the revolutionary zeal and "applied altruism" of the newly-founded Peace Corps first hit the nation's college campuses six years ago, it met with instant response. In those pre-activist days, the Peace Corps of fered something special for the dedi cated; it offered relevance and .chal lenge. Things have changed. The promise and practice of performing effective (but not miraculous) public works has replaced, as a drawing card, the misty idealism from which. the Peace Corps emerged in John F. Kennedy's presi dential campaign. • Ten thousand people have com pleted tours of duty in the Peace Corps and each returned volunteer has a dozen tales of accomplishment. Many of these accomplishments would seem, :to affluent America, insignificant in deed: doubling the height of a stalk of rice, cutting the incubation =period of a chicken, seeing the smile of a child emerge after weeks of doubt or an tagonism. But the Peace Corps has found that the experiences of these returned, vol unteers (and of the 15,000 now serving) are twice as valuable • as the theory and the rhetoric, which in the absence of returned volUnteers, accompanied. the first few years of the program. Instead' of "applied altruism," the Peace Corps now can legitimately offer "applied activism," and indeed the ac tivists of the nation's college campuses are finding satisfaction in the idea and the practice of the Peace Corps. And the college student's view of in teaching serve as a representative on one committee. Elections for representative.; to the Com mittee on Undergraduate Affairs will include voting for one representative from the Organ ization of Student Government Associations and five representatives from USG. Kalich said. After his election, any. candidate subject to academic or disciplinary probation will immediately lose his seat, according to the bill. The IJSG president will then reopen nominations and elections to fill any such vacancy. Similarly, any student "not presenting a representative student viewpoint may be subject to impeachment," the bill states. The president will also reopen nominations and elections to fill a seat vacated this way. Kalieh called the concept of student representation on Senate committee a "giant step forward," and urged all students to at tend tomorrow night's Congress meeting.

An hour later, Shafer held the Bible while Raymond J. Broderick, 52, was inaugurated to succeed him as lieutenant governor. In this new capacity. one of Broderick's main re sponsibilities will be to preside over the State Senate. Then, within hours after his inauguration, Shafer submitted 17 cabinet appointments to the Senate, which immediately confirmed all but two those of David 0. Maxwell as in surance commissioner and the incumbent Adj. Gen. Thomas R.

LEE Collegian Editor *Mn Record Marathon To Kick-Off WUS Week the Peace Corps has also changed. It has done Good Things, but it is no longer the radical or revolutionary' pro gram it once was to them. The Peace Corps still performs small revolutions in 56 countries, but the revolutions are acceptable, the work of a government Agency.- As one high official in the Peace Corps put it: "We were becom ing - somewhat square on campus, a swell thing like Smokey the Bear, but that's all." Applications began to fall off and there was a major realignment of the Peace Corps advertising and recruit ment policies, as we pointed out yester day. There is an open appeal to the activist, as well as to the practical college man or woman with sorely needed technical skills, the man or woman who wants to travel and to help people who cannot help them selves. Applications are now on the rise. A New Threat But, in a true irony of the times, an even bigger problem poses a major threat to the success of the Peace Corps image and the recruiting effort on col lege campuses. This factor is Vietnam; and more specifically, the draft. When the Peace Corps was first founded. in 1961, its people conferred with Lt. Gen. Lewis Hershey, long time director of the Selective Service System. They were advised that the Peace Corps should not be offered as an out-and-out alternative to military service, as it would likely ' become a haven for draft-dodgers. Although the Peace Corps was convinced that its psychologists and advisers could weed out, the draft-dodgers (and they have), 1961 did not appear to be the time to introduce into American life the radi cal idea of ;volunteer civilian service as an alternative to the military. ' Vietnam was in an embryonic stage in 1961 and the government was not. serve," he said. This wilt finally give students the representative voice that's been asked for and we need candidates."

"I vetoed the bill," Kalich 'explained last night. "simply because USG does not have the money; the funds just are not there." The University has substantially reduced its allo (Continued on page three) Concert Will Feature Curtin and Uppman The operatic duo, Phyllis Curtin and Theodore Uppman will perform selections by Mozart, Rossini, Verdi, Ravel, Strauss and Berlioz when they appear on campus this weekend. Tickets for the Artists Series production at 3 p.m. Sunday in Schwab became available yesterday. Distribu tion of tickets will continue from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the remainder of the week at the main desk of the Hetzel Union Building. Both performers are no strangers to opera buffs both in the United States 'and abroad. In a month-long tour last summer Miss Curtin scored triumphs in London, Glas gow, Paris and Geneva. The Glasgow Herald said, "She was brilliant. Her voice is so delightful and she uses it with such consummate artistry that she makes this a per formance to treasure." Miss Curtin, however, has reversed the usual made-in- Europe trend of most modern careers, and has been trained completely in the United States. She has appeared in opera roles, or as a recitalist and symphony soloist in 20 coun tries. The Curtin career boasts several unique records. She has an operatic repertoire of more than 60 roles, ranging from spinto-dramatic to dramatic colorature. No other American soprano before the public today has created so many world and American premieres. She is hailed as an actress as well as a singer. Baritone Theodore Uppman made his debut at the Metropolitan Opera 12 years ago. Since then his list of successes at the Met include The Magic Flute," "Don Giovanni," "La Boheme" and "Madame Butterfly." He has (Continued on page three) facing the manpower problem it faces today. But, as the military commit ment in Vietnam has grown to unfore seen proportions, the idea of volun teer civilian service has again come to the forefront. The President's commis sion on the draft is due to report any day now, and it is not expected to en dorse the idea at this time either, but this time for the reasons of manpower. Peace Corps Policy • The Peace Corps, meanwhile, sticks to its_ original policy of granting 2A (national interest) deferments until a volunteer completes his two-year tour of duty, at which, time he can, at the discretion of his omnipotent local draft board, be reclassified IA and drafted. Meanwhile, top Peace Corps officials do not endorse the idea of including the Peace Corps (and other projects like VISTA) as alternatives to draftees. The Peace Corps was conceived as a volunteer agency, it has no need for drafted manpower and indeed does not want it. But, nevertheless, the draft is worrying the Peace Corps. With the stress of Vietnam, draft boards are becoming less interested in granting blank check deferments to volunteers. Originally, a volunteer re ceived his deferment .when he entered training (a few have been drafted out of training) and the deferment was re issued throughout his two-year tour of duty. Then, when he returned to the United States he was generally placed at the bottom of the manpower pool, as many draft boards originally con sidered the fact that he had already given two years of service "to his country", even if not in the Army. This last policy was the first to go. Now, returned volunteers are no longer guaranteed a bottom berth in the manpower supply. And then, late last year, two Corpsmen were drafted right out of the Corps. Both men had • (Continued on page three) Black Citizens' Council —See Page 2 SEVEN CENTS
