In two important parliamentary races in New Delhi, rightists were leading their incumbent Congress party adversaries. Opposition ledby the right-wing Swatantra party and the Hindu Jan Sangh party posed a threat to the Congress party in the assembly of the western desert state of Rajasthan, land of the princely rulers. Communists were winning the legislature in the southern state of Kerala. The tense parliamentary race in northeast .Bombay between V. K. Krishna Menon, leftist former defense min ister, and Congress candidate S. G. Barve. bubbled over into street fighting involving a mob of 3,000 people, No casualties were reported. By the time the counting of about 150 million ballots is finished Friday or Saturday, the- Congress party hopes to have at least 300 of the 500 seats in the lower house of Parliament. In the election five years ago, the party won 361 seats. The Nation Kennedy Blames Presidents for CIA Dispute WASHINGTON Seri. Robert F. Kennedy (D-N.Y.) said yesterday the Central Intelligence Agency operated under presidential orders when it financed student trips to foreign meetings. “If it was a mistake,” Kennedy said, “it was one of policy made in the executive branch and it should not be blamed on the CIA." Kennedy said that when he was in the Cabinet as at torney general he knew the government was paying the bills for student travel abroad and he said the decision to do this through the CIA. was made “at the highest levels” in the Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson administrations. The ClA’s activity was under executive supervision at all times, Kennedy said. Sen. Stuart Symongton (D-Mo.) said, in a separate inter view, that the CIA was operating under instructions when it offered financial aid to the National Student Association. Gavin: China's War Can Lead to Viet Peace WASHINGTON The United States should take ad vantage of the internal turmoil in Red China to negotiate peace in Vietnam, soldier-diplomat James M. Gavin said yesterday. But don’t do it by escalating the war, he told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Such an escalation; the retired three-star general and former ambassador to France said, “might provide the very basis of bringing order into the Chinese situation, with a prompt and militant response to the aid of Hanoi.” Gavin, now chairman of the board of a management con sultant firm in Cambridge. Mass., said the terms may “seem to us to be rather a stiff price to pay for peace . . - But the alternative is a protracted conflict.” He said he believes “that'we can negotiate with Hanoi and with the National Liberation Front confident that a free, neutral and independent Vietnairi can be established with guarantees of stability from an international body.” The State Witnesses Suggest Temporary Crime Agency HARRISBURG—SeveraI witnesses at a House com mittee hearing on a proposed State Crime Commission suggested yesterday that the agency be made temporary rather than permanent. “Almost invariably, such a permanent agency becomes impotent because after a few years the public losses in terest, funds are not forthcoming and then it becomes a voluntary body.” an official, of the Crime Commission of Philadelphia said. r A temporary agency would have to justify itself t periodically, Ephraim R.- Gomberg, exeuctive vice presi l dent of the Philadelphia commission, said. . Another witness at the one-day hearing, William H. Wilcox, executive director of' the Greater Philadelphia Movement, recommended a temporary commission “with a two or three year tenure.” What's Inside LETTERS, LETTERS VIDEOTAPE COUNSELING SDS AT THE OPERA OSGA CAGERS AT BUCXNELL. latlg (Enlist Student demonstrations as a means of attaining objectives were examined at a panel discussion last night spon sored by the Inter College Council Board, the Classes of 1968 and 1969. The panel was composed of Charlie Smith, president of the Graduate Stu dent Association; the Rev. Mr. Alan R. Cleeton, director of the Wesley Founda tion; Henry Sams, president of the Uni versity Senate and Bruce Macomber, Undergraduate Student Government Congressman. 1 Speaking first, Smith rejected the idea that students come here solely for an academic degree. “It does not follow that he must stick around here for % degree,” Smith said. “A student is a member of society, and as such a sub system of society.” “Demonstration is one method of obtaining an objective.” He mentioned other avenues, such as tact and diplo macy, as steps to be taken before dem onstrations.. He emphasized the impor tance of a constructive solution, adding, “We should not be unduly influenced by idealism.” In referring to Webster’s definition of demonstration, he said, “The impor tant thing is to obtain one’s objective, and not ‘public show.’ ” The senior class gift will be canvass, the fund now totals seniors will be solicited for gift Some 50 more seniors signed chosen from ideas submitted nearly SlO.OOO.

(Continued on page five) The University chapter of Students for a Democratic Society will host a state-wide SDS convention this weekend, Feb. 24-26. Called to “initiate effective state-wide organization (through) active exchange of ideas, programs and methods of implementa tion,” the convention will begin with a general membership meeting Saturday, ac cording _to Neil Buckley, SDS convention coordinator. Referring to an article in New Left Notes, the SDS national newspaper, Buckley said many SDS members from colleges and uni versities throughout the state have indicated they will attend the convention. Colleges Represented Among the colleges to be represented at the convention will be the University of Pitts burgh, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of West Virginia, Swarthmore College, Lehigh University, Franklin and Marshall College, Dickinson College, Lafay ette College, and Bryn Mawr College. Several SDS members from New York City and the Albany and Buffalo regions of New York state will also attend the convention.

USG President Richard Kalich said on a WDFM press conference last night that the sessions on the NDSL program he and three other USG members had with Gov. Raymond P. Shafer and other legislators, were “quite fruitful.” Kalich reported that Shafer predicts the Board of Trustees, which has final au thority in University financial matters, will reverse the decision made last December to drop University participation in the loan program. The Board of Trustees meets this Friday. Kalich, along with Vic Hammel and Ed Dench, both active in USG affairs and members of CRUEL (the recently-formed Committee for the Restoration of Undergraduate Educational Loans), and Richard Jameson, Town Independent Men’s Councilman, also active in the NDSL controversy, met with Rep. Nor man Lee, Republican majority leader and Rep. Herb ert Fineman, Democratic minority leader in the Demonstrations Examined By JAY SHORE Collegian Staff Writer One Method Rev.

He re ferred to a Mississippi demonstration in which he had taken part where the protesting was appropriate because there was direct violation of the law and necessary redress was taking an undue amount of time. He said, “Once a law is adjudicated there should be no need to compromise.” Miss the Point He added, “Student demonstrations sometimes miss the point. In part, dem onstrations are designed to get atten tion. When they are belligerent and hostile, these hostilities are mirrored.” “There can be no question of the peoples’ right to demonstrate,” said Dr. Sams, who is also head of the English department. Posing the question, “How do we judge a demonstration?”, Sams compared a demonstration to a play or racing car. “Demonstrations are made things. They are good or bad. It’s be sides the point to ask about legality. The pertinent question is whether it is well-made or ill-made.” He cited the Boston Tea Party~as a perfect demonstration. It had perfect . timing, he said, and most important, its * target was clear, simple, and unambigu ous. Against Demonstrations Agreeing with the other members of the panel, Sams said he was against demonstration for its own sake. “If there be groups looking for demonstra- President Carl Davidson will ' attend the convention to participate in the several workshops planned. Some of the topics to be covered are student power, community or ganizing and anti-war activities. The work shops will be held Saturday afternoon; a final evaluation session will be held Sunday. Tentative arrangements have been made for the appearance of Bill Hertog, national coordinator of the SDS Draft Resistors’ Unions. Hertog will be indicted in Chicago Federal court next week for allegedly resist ing selective service laws regarding induc tion into the armed services. Levi Kingston, West Coast organizer of Draft Resistors’ Unions, was scheduled to participate in the convention. However, the SDS national office in Chicago told Buckley yesterday that Kingston was presently engaged in organizing activities in the Watts district of Los Angeles and may not be able to attend the conven tion. Workers at the Chicago office promised to rush Kingston to State College if he got to Chicago today or tomorrow, Buckley said. John Wilson, project director of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee in Philadelphia, will also attend the convention. Wilson appeared at the University during the Conference on Black Power sponsored by the Student Union for Racial Equality Jan uary 15-16. He indicated at that time that Governor Predicts Trustee Approval General Assembly. Kalich said both men consider the University's decision to drop the program as a mix-up and pledged full support to bring the million dollar aid program back into University financial assistance considera tions. Fineman told Kalich that he has received ‘TOO per cent favorable replies" from the Board of Trus tees. ■ Although the Trustees have not ye 1 given an official green light to the University to reapply for NDSL funds, all indications support the prediction that the Board will give its OK at this week's meet ing.,.Trustee opinion on the issue has come in favor ably for a reinstatement of the program and many Trustees have said they will vote for it on Friday. University President Eric A. Walker has already reapplied for funds for the rest of the year so that if Board of Trustee approval comes through, the Uni- tion, they leave me cold.” USG congressman Macomber said that a demonstration was a subjective operation. It results, he said, when stu dent integrity and responsibility has been taken for granted. He cited the demonstration last spring over the apartment issue and in general the con cept of “in loco parentis.” In his opinion the recent demon stration over the NDSL loans was a very significant event. It found its target and will probably be successful, he said. Demonstrations Will Increase Macomber also predicted that dem onstrations will increase as the century passes, due to an increase in bureau cracy. He commended Penn State for be ing the first state university which has permitted students to sit on standing committees of the Senate. In a question and answer session which followed, an observer asked about a demonstration which goes be yond the law. All the panelists agreed that the law should not be broken. Smith cited illegal Dootlegging during prohibition which was in essence an effective protest. And Sams said that the law was being broken when we permitted the Boston tea party. Sams added that “the insistence upon some thing, to get someone’s attention always infringes upon legality.” he wanted to return especially for the SDS convention. “I’ve got something to tell those people,” he said. Hill House Members Members of the Hill House Association, a group of New Left Negroes who coordinate a tutorial project in the Hill district of Pitts burgh, have been contacted to speak at the community organizing workshop along with workers'on the Altoona Tutorial Project con ducted by University students. Jarvis Tyner, president of the’ Phila delphia branch of the W.E.B. Dußois Clubs, and Walt Palmer, a \worker in the Black Nationalist movement! also from Philadel phia, have been contacted to speak to the SDS members. “The Troublemakers,” an award-winning film produced by SDS will be shown to the convention participants. The film documents the SDS Newark community organizing proj ect. “Time of the Locust,” a film about the Vietnam war and other’movies dealing with SDS projects will be shown. Schwab has been reserved for the presentation of these films Friday. The full schedule has not yet been announced. SDS has requested the use of the J. Orvis Keller Center for Continuing Education for the convention. On Feb. 9, 1967, administra tors at the Conference Center revealed that JOSEPH FAULKNER . . . Speaker at Jawbone Walker Considers Request att versity will not have missed the application deadline date. The application due date two weeks ago prompt ed Walker's- decision to reapply for the program with out official Board of Trustee approval. If the Board does not approve continuing University participation in the NDSL program, however, the application can be withdrawn. According to Kalich, no students have been af fected so far by the University’s original decision to drop the loan program. He said last night that stu dents holding National Defense Loans are guaranteed of money this this year under Walker’s action in re applying for funds. He added that if the Board of Trustees does not vote in favor of the program, USG will continue pressure to have the program reinstated by submitting names of individual student cases to the Board. Kalich said he knows of 25 students who will not be able to continue their education at the University if funds from the NDSL program are stopped. He said he submitted 10 of these names to the Board of Trus tees after Walker wrote that specific cases of students affected by stoppage of NDSL funds was worth more in influencing Board of Trustee opinion than a mass of emotions. MRC Sells 515 Radios, Takes Orders By MIKE SERRILL Collegian Staff Writer The Men’s Residence Council Radio Sale has sold 515 radios to date, Councilman Thomas Sullivan reported last night. The majority of those sold, he said, are the medium sized portable. Twenty-two of the stereo duplex models, the most expensive, have been sold. Besides the official 515, Sullivan said that over 100 orders have been placed for models which were sold out. All new orders for radios must be in by Friday, Sullivan said. MRC President William Cowan said that a similar sale being held by a downtown merchant has stimulated sales by forcing General Electric to lower MRC’s buying At an MRC meeting last night, a bill was passed clarifying the duties and responsibilities of the residence hall units. , The bill emphasized that “the integrity of the house shall be recognized by all organizations and individuals wishing to work with that house.” This section of the bill means, MRC Vice President 'Alan Smiley said, that any group wishing to co-sponsor an activity with a house must arrange such activities with the officers of that house. The bill defined the residence house as “an organiza tional unit of the area and the MRC.” It stipulates that the house government “shall sponsor house events of an educational, cultural, recreational and social nature." The bill also said that “the house government shall be advised by the resident counselor in the house.” and that “house facilities shall be used with the consent of the house government.” “This is one of the most significant pieces of legislation that we’ve had come before us this year,” Cowan said. Cowan announced that the Executive Council will meet next week with the officers of the Association of Women Students to discuss the possibility of establishing a closer working relationship with that organization. Cowan also announced that steps are being taken to alleviate poor housing conditions in Watts and Jordan Halls West Halls. Plans are under way, he said, for remodeling those halls. Faulkner To Discuss Traditional Morality “Student support for traditional mor ality” is the topic for student-faculty dis cussion at the Jawbone Coffee House tonight. Joseph E. Faulkner, assistant professor of sociology will be the speaker. Faulkner, drawing upon contemporary sociological studies of student behavior, said he doesn’t think student behavior today is as “deviant as some would have us believe.” Student “revolution” seems to be of a minor nature, with mass support lacking, he said. Whether in sexual mores, political ideologies, personal value systems or any other life processes, he said, the student generation is united in its lack of desire for and attempts at change. This discussion of Faulkner’s ideas is the seventh of a series sponored by the Jawbone this term. All students are invited to utilize this opportunity for informal conversation with professors. they could not make a decision on the SDS request since no student group had ever asked to use the center, according to Buckley. Champ R. Storch, director of student activi ties, said the matter had been turned over to President Walker for a final decision, ac cording to Buckley. Several SDS members have expressed concern that Walker might not permit the use of the center in light of the SDS sit-ins during the House Un-American Activities Committee controversy Feb. 1-3. “We hope Old Main has enough sense not to try to pre vent us from having the convention,” SDS member Dennis Williams said. “The people are coming up whether or not v/e are given the proper approval and sanction of the ad ministration,” Williams said. “Why don’t they just let us conduct our business,” an other SDS member said. The convention will be open to all inter tested students and faculty members, Buck ley said. One of the results of the convention will be the establishment of a state-wide office for coordination of activities. SDS members from Philadelphia have been plan ning the creation of a regional office, accord ing to Buckley. The office will be either in State College or Philadelphia. Several resolu tions concerning university reform and the Vietnam war are also expected to develop from the various workshops. Macy, Gimbel, and LBJ —See Page 2 SEVEN CENTS
