The rioting and disorders have grown out of oppo sition to political parties' protests against a call by the Rajestlian state governor for the Congress party to form a new state government. Congress lost its majority in last month's election, but remained the largest single party in the state assembly. In New Delhi, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi issued a statement saying she was 'deeply distressed by the developments in Jaipur. U. S. Ist Cavalry Battles Viet Cong Force SAIGON A company of the U.S. Ist Cavalry, Air mobile, Division reacting to heavy automatic fire, battled all day Tuesday against a Viet Cong force estimated to be of similar size, about 180 men. Hammered by jet planes and artillery, the enemy broke away at nightfall. A' preliminary report from the battle site, near the central coast of Binh Province 260 miles northeast of Saigon, said seven Americans and 50 Viet Cong- were killed. Seventeen Americans were wounded.

He assured the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, in urging ratification of the pact; that the United States could detect any military use of space. Vietnam was not mentioned except at the end when committee Chairman J. W. Fulbright, D-Ark., asked Rusk about reported discussion of the use of Latin American troops in Vietnam. Rusk said he knew of no such discussions and felt it "unlikely" -there are any plans to send troops. from Latin America.- But as for treaties, Rusk said the United States is "working hard" on one to prevent the further spread of nuclear weapons and "should like to make progress" on an agreement with the Soviet"• Union "to limit the prospective race in offensive and defensive missiles." The treaty would proVide for inspection 'of facilities '-on the moon, but not vehicles in orbit. It was then that Rusk said this country has monitoring equipment which he said he could describe more fully in closed session. Hoffa Enters Federal Penitentiary LEWISBURG, Pa. James R. Hoffa, each arm gripped by a U. S. marshal, entered the federal penitentiary here Tuesday to start serving his eight year sentence for jury tampering. The head of the nation's largest union surrende, ) red in Washington, was fingerprinted and then taken on a four hour trip through a snow storm to the penitentiary in Lewisburg in central Pennsylvania. Hoffa's surrender climaxed a 10 year federal effort to imprison him. lie also is appealing a five year mail fraud conviction in connection with charges he conspired to divert a million dollars from a $lO million Teamster's pen sion fund lien scheme. Hoffa had emerged unscathed from earlier federal charges of wiretapping of telephones of his subordinates in the Teamstei , s Detroit headquarters, bribing a senate in vestigation and sharing an illegal million dollar kickback from a trucking firm. The jury tampering conviction stemmed from the kickback trial in Nashville, Tenn. That trial ended with a hung jury in 1963. Hoffa has often charged that the government and news media ganged up on him in an effort to destroy the Teamsters. Bill To Legalize Gambling, Vetoed LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Gov. Winthrop Rockefeller vetoed Tuesday a controversial bill which would have en abled the nearby resort city of Hot Springs to legalize the gambling industry it has nourished illegally for a century. Rockefeller denied again after the veto that he had made a deal! with legislators from Hot Spring and Hot Springs businessmen to let the bill become law without his signature. Most of the public outcry over the weekend was for veto of the bill. Casino. gambling has flourished sporadically in Hot Springs for 100 years. From the late 1950's through March of 1964, Hot :Springs casinos operated as openly as those in Nevada, where gambling is legal. Then,forMer Gov. Orval Faubus, acting in response to an anti-gambling resolution adopted by the Arkansas House, ordered an end to open gambling. The State Specter GOR Candidate For Mayor PHILADELPHIA Dist. Atty. Arlen Spector agreed Tuesday to be the Republican, organization candidate for mayor, pledging, if elected, "super government and a new beginning" for the nation's fourth largest city. Specter was slated by the GOP last Friday, but took four days to think it over. One of the chief fatcors, he said, was whether he could stay on as D.A. while he cam paigned. -.- Spector may have token opposition in the May 16 primary, said GOP Chairman William Devlin "but he'll win easily." Not so- on the democratic side. Tate, a candidate fOr a.-new four year term, has failed to get the backing of the organization. He is opposed by former city controller Alexander Hemphill. Specter said once he was given the go ahead to stay on as D.A. and saw the full GOP ticket being lined up he consented to become a candidate. • What's Inside ti 0 LETTERS ITALIAN ART FACULTY DIGEST RECITAL' REVIEW ENROLLMENT NEWSMEN I.

The troupe has performed its show, "Civil Rights in the Cracker Barrel," on sev eral campuses and has been somewhat con troversial because of its arrest for violation of local obscenity lays in one case. The discussion that preceded the pass ing of the recommendation was concerned with the extent! to which the University as sumes responsibility for the content of pro grams sponsored on its facilities.

Pete Seeger, nationally bench To Propose Traffic Court By MIKE SERRILL Collegian Staff Writer Undergraduate Student Govern ment Town Congressman Edward Dench said Sun day night he intends to introduce a bill to USG during spring term suggesting the crea tion of a student traffic court, where students may appeal traffic tickets and fines which they believe unjust. Such a court is mentioned, he said, in the Senate Rules and Regulations for Under graduate Students, but has never been created. Dench is chairman of the newly created USG parking committee and has been in vestigating parking Land traffic problems since last term as vice president of the Town Independent Men's Council. Five Questions Steven Gerson, a member of the parking committee, has for the last two weeks been presenting a list of five questions concerning parking to University administrators. • The questions were: "•How much money is received from student parking fees? •How has this money been used in the past? • . 'PAGE 2 . PAGE 3 . PAGE 4 . PAGE 5 . PAGE 6 *Which parking lots have been built UNIVERSITY PARK, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 8, 1967 a University-approved program." He op posed allowing the 'groups to sponsor the troupe's performance. University President . Eric A. Walker said that in an issue of this nature, he is primarily concerned with money. He said he is "about to ask-the legislature for `.sso million. They will want to know how it is being spent. Will the University be paying for these things?" But Senate Chairman Henry W. Sams said that he had been informed that the troupe is not available and that a contract cannot be signed for an appearance in State College this spring. The question became an academic one. Edward Cressman, member of the Ad Hoc Committee, claimed that the University, in granting charters to student oragniza- tions, recognizes them and allows them to use University facilities, but does not assume responsibility ,for - their programs. "As a matter of general principle," one senator said, '`the University does not en dorse everyone who speaks here. If we 'University Has RI. ht To Set Standards' Dean Defends Policies and to be people of integrity. So far we have been very pleased with the way this is working out," she said. According to the Dean, campus patrol takes between 30 and 40 girls to their residence halls on week nights, while they have escorted as many as 400 girls on Saturday nights. Campus pa trolmen are stationed in each living area during weekends to facilitate the greater number of girls signing out for after closing hours. Dean Harris emphasize that wom en should be escorted b-t- their dates to the campus patrol office or their living area. "We don't want women walking home late at night." she said. According 'to Dean Harris, the safety problem in State Colege is increasing and cited a recent weekend incident in which a girl and her date were attacked by three youths while walking on Pugh Street. Answering a question of why worn en are not given keys to the front door of their residence hall, Dean Harris said that the only responsible use of keys occurs in small colleges where all the girls in a residence hall know each other and can exert pressure to insure the responsible use of front door keys. She said she felt key duplication would be an inevitable problem and said "In a large residence hall, no mat- HARRISBURG (AP) Gov.

"is to ,what extent this body .or the University as a whole should serve as a censorship group on campus. don't think we should anticipate irre sponsibility on the part of our students." Henry S. Albinski. professor of political science, said that the University ought to be a forum for a variety of viewpoints. He said that the Senate ought to lay some guide lines considering the status of University responsibility. The Senate voted to table the question concerning general policy, although it did pass the Ad Hoc Committee's re-commenda tion. President's Message President Walker asked the Senate to consider the question: Has the time come for the University to become decentralized? Such departments as physics, mathe matics and English have a large service ter how careful you are, you might as well leave the doors open." Another student proposed that girls be allowed to move out of. residence halls to which the Dean replied, "Then who's going to occupy them? Residence halls were built because the University has to provide food and housing for x-number of people, because the town simply cannot feed them." According to Dean Harris, allowing girls to move out of the residence halls would exert severe economic pressure on the town. "All we would have to do," she said, "would be to close two residence halls, McElwain and Simmons, and turn 1,000 girls loose and the rents in State College would probably double." Dean Harris said that girls "do get the short end of the stick" but studies have shown that women can adjust more easily than men to residence hall life. Allowing girls to move downtown would involve trading populations, ac cording to Dean Harris. "If we released senior women, we would have to bring back 'sophomore men." she said. Dean Harris also said it has been a Penn State tradition to take care of women before men, in contrast to many universities where men are housed in new buildings while the women live in older buldings which are often convert ed men's residence halls. has been conducted in the past. Bryner said this meeting is evidence of the intention of the project workers to aid ..nnv student in the entire city of Al toona who wants to be tutored. Contacts with *Protestant and Jewish leaders in the Altoona area have been made and ar rangements for the establish ment of several tutoring cen ters in the city are being final ised, according to Bryner. The main problem is still the trans portation ,of the tutors from University Park to the Altoona area, Bryner said. In accordance with a _motion passed during the fall term SDS members opened nomina tions for the positions of chair man, secretary and treasurer. The motion called for the elec tion of new officers at the be ginning of - each regular . term. The SDS Committee on Stu dent Freedom and University Structure presented a report on its activities.

In some instances, he said, students have no specific department to identify with. "Should each college try to become self sufficient for its own students," he asked, "so that courses can be better tailored to the specific major?" Walker also asked the Senators to con sider whether residence halls should be arranged according to interests and majors to provide students with guides and to pre vent them from losing interest in their majors. In other business, the Senate sent to the appropriate committees for study: as request by the Organization of Stu dent Governments to have direct represen tation for commonwealth campus students on the University Senate; oa proposal to allow University libra rians to be represented on the Senate; •a request by the American Associa tion of University Professors for faculty representation on the Board of Trustees; •and consideration of a pass-fail system.

America, Italy Added To Study Abroad program By DONNA STEHMAN ' Collegian Staff Writer The expansion of the University Study Abroad includes the addition of two new countries, Latin America and the history of Art in Italy. The expansion plans do not stop with this new double bill. According to. Dagobert DeLevie, Director•of the Uni versity Study Abroad Programs, "Other countries are under constant consideration with the program in England now having top priority in the Committee on Study Abroad." "The study abroad program in Latin America," De- Levie said, "is intended to provide a cultural and academic experience for Latin America Studies majors as well as for undergraduates seeking a better understanding of this area." "Special courses" developed for Penn State students will be taught by professors from the University of Costa Rica in San Tose. Courses will be offered in the social sci ences and in Spanish language and literature. All courses will be taught in Spanish and will focus upon pertinent ascacts of contemporary Latin America. Course requirements to be accepted for the program are at least three credits in Spanish beyond the inter mediate level or what DeLevie teems "working knowledge in the language," political science 3 or 4, economics 2 or 14, and history 23. "The Latin America program is the first and only one conducted during the winter term," said DeLevie. This term was chosen for two major reasons. "The weather is ideal," DeLevie explained. Also the professors and students will be beginning a new academic year and will be more enthusiastic and cooperative toward University visiting students. Unlike the study abroad programs to France, Germany and Spain, the program will comprise 10 weeks of academic instruction instead of 14. Students will be returning to the University for spring term. _ (Continued on page seven) The bill stipulated that parking lot 52 be changed to a commuter parking lot as of March 29. The bill also said that "20-minute tempo rary parking will be allowed in lots adjacent to the coed dormitories any time of the day or night for the sole purpose of parking to allow the escorting of a coed to her resi dence hall."
