Teamsters Vote to Accept Tnicking Contract
•
WASHINGTON The Teamsters Union said yester
day its membd,rs "are voting by - a majority" to accept a
proposed national trucking contract but added the out
come is still i doubt and a new vote may have to be
taken.
"If a substantial number of employees affected do not
vote a mail referendum'may have to he conducted," said
Teamster's general vice president Fi ank Fitzsimmons.
This statement reflected earlier reports that many of
the 45.000 workers involved were not voting.
This apparbntly wai clue in part to confusion among
some Teumste24: , who thought the contract had already
been approved and partly to a reluctance to vote while
the trucking strike and lockout continues in Chicago.
Fitzsimmons said the voting is still inclusive because
many locals it'ave not telegraphed the results to union
headquarters in Washington and some locals have not
voted.
"Senate Approves Outer Space Treaty
WASHINGTON, The Senate yesterday approved the
outer space treaty. a measure President Johnson has said
can be a beginning to a new understanding and harmony
between East and West.
Only last month the Senate approved the U.S.-Soviet
consular treaty the - first bilateral treaty between the two
nations since the days of the Russian czars.
Johnson has said the two treaties along with easing
trade with Iron Curtain countries are the beginnings of
East-West "bridge building" efforts.
The outer space treaty was ratified by 33 to 0 but sev
eral senators said they put no faith in Soviet Russia's
signature on the measure.
Typical of the critical comment Sen. Strom Thurmond
(R-S C.) said it is "nothing more than a scrap of paper" to
the Communists.
The treaty prohibits the establishment of military bases
on celestial bodies and provides for on site
,inspection.
Dr. King Disclaims Presidential Candidacy .
ATLANTA, Ga. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. labeled
the bombing of Noith Vietnam fighter bases a tragic escala
tion of the war and predicted yesterday that thousands of
military inductees will go to jail rather than hear arms.
'T'his is a tragic escalation of the war". King said at
a news confeience which he called osten , ibly to rule him
self out as a presidential candidate next year.
"I think millions more are going to oppo-e this war",
said King who shifted recently from his concentration
on civil rights to an all out campaign against ti S. involve
ment in Vietnam. He has said the war effort is draining
national resources front the civil tights movement and
causing havoc in this held.
King said his knowledge of college campus attitudes
convinced him of mounting unrest over the war and un
willingness to serve in the military.
The State
Department Defers Wiretapping Action
HARRISBURG The stale Justice Department rec
ommended Yesterday that the Genera] .A , i , embly defer leg
islation on wiretapping or other listening devices until
federal guidelines are established.
The Department noted at a joint House Senate hearing
that decisions on the advi , abihtv of legalizing or outlawing
the devices ate pending before Congress and the Supreme
Court.
The Dem.-On - num . :: position paper prepared by Deputy
Atty. Gen. Frank P. Lawley and endorsed by Atty. Gen.
William C. Sennett supported wiretapping or eavesdrop
ping by law enforcement agencies under strict court super
vision.
However they concluded:
"In view of the matters pending before the Congress
and the Supreme Court it is our recommen:lation that the
General AsseMblv defer any action on the subjects .
until a later time when hopefully we will have federal
guidelines within which a workable- Pennsylvania statute
can be drafted''

"from any place where people dance."
According to' Francis Wardol Gith
arts and architecture-Uniontown), Pres
ident of the organization, Interlandia
consists! of approximately 40 regular
members, who get together weekly to
dance. ; Concerning the membership.
Wardol said, "Anyone at all is free to

Two-Dad• Protest
Southern University, located
just north of this city on high
ground overlooking the Missis

of student protests for two
days. The grievances center
around administration refusal

for the next academic year and
the suspension of associate pro
fessor Charles Walker, a Negro.

quite a few international students."
Wardol explained that the group
learns its dances from both old and new
members. Occasionally folk dance spe
cialists come to visit the club and teach
new dances, Wardol said: but most of
the dances the group performs are
simple enough for even beginners to do.
According to Mary Chamberlain
(3rd - liberal arts - State College), trea
surer of Interlandia, the University
chapter of the organi•Lation began
around 1958 as an off-shoot of the
"Schuhplattlers." a group that did south
German and Austrian dances.. (The
word - schuhplattlers" means that part
to all interested persons to come to join
slapping their shoes.) . At that time
Interlandia had a standing performing
group, which dance-1 at a folk festival
held at the University a few years ago.
Recently the group traveled to a

policy affecting it." i•
Work on ending the Extended Jeopardy ruling is al
readY underway in the USG Legal Awareness Commission
under the direction of Town Congressman Bruce
comber, Long said. Under the present ruling a student
fined and convicted by a downtown court can also be
disciplined by the University, even if the offenSe occurred
off campus. - The University Senate, the administration
and 'student referendums are other channels Long said
he will use, if necessary, to achieve this goal.
Long said he expects a recommendation in the near
futui 4 e on the question of an All-University student gov
ernment from West Halls Congressman -James Womers'
committee. •
Long's plans for a University Advisory Board include
five 'members 'from the Board of Trustees, five .faculty
members, five students and five administrators. How well
USG functions:this year, Long said, will depend on bridg
ing the communications gap among these groups.
Long has explored the possibility of a 10 per cent dis
count for students on recreation activities such as movies.
A similar program worked successfully at Temple Uni
versity and the University of Pittsburgh and he said there
is a possibility it can be implemented at the University.
Residence hall visitation is another point Long said
he will push.

The Students for a Democratic Society
voted last night to set up a picket line today
and tomorrow next to the army recruiting
table in the Hetzel Union Building.
Members of the picket line will circle
the recruiting table carrying signs condemn
ing the U.S. military establishment. but will
not attempt to prevent persons from ap
proaching the recruiting table, SDS decided.
The picketers will discourage those ap
proaching the table with arguments con
demning the military as a non-democratic
institution suppcirting alleged "war crimes"
in the Vietnam war, instead. Enlistment in
the army, SDS contends, forces enlistees to
violate internatidnal law by participation in
the allegedly immoral Vietnam conilict.•
The recrutirig table will operate from
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. today arid tomorrow.
Several proposals suggesting sign slo
gans included "Help stamp out human be

he said he regarded xi.ith disfavor an editorial in the
Saturday issue of The Daily Collegian entitled "A Tribute

The article charged; the New Party with unethical
campaign tactics.
Kalich said he urges students to "let the burning
coals die" and to look objectively at the new administra
tion, "interested." "dedidated" and "experienc - ed to some
degree." With student support, Kalich said, "this may be

the war., he said, it will gradually begin
"clamping down on our basic freedoms." He
also commented that despite the increasingly
large protest movement against the war, as
demonstrated by the mass demonstrations
recently held in New York and San Fran
cisco. the administration has made no indica
tion of a change in policy.
Other matters, discussed at the meeting
included plans to' organize various "dorm
forums on student power." The forums will
consist of several residence hall students and
an SDS member. Topics will revolve around
student power, or the alleged lack of it, and
various grievances concerning food and
housing. Molinaro mentioned that a num
ber of students at another University re
turned their trays 'to the kitchen untouched,
in protest aboUt the 'quality of the food. He
suggested that individual SDS members try
to organize similar campaigns.
One of the main issues troubling SDS at
this time is the rewriting,, now in progress. of
the Senate Rules and Regulations. A cam
paign is planned through the dorm forums
advocating that representatives of the stu
dents rewrite the rules and that the final
compilation be submitted to a student
referendum.
IFC Workshop Finds
No Pledge Harrassment
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the `oral article in a three-part
series dealing with the ecaluat:oit of the 17th Aninial Inter
fraternity Council Workshop. Parts One and Two corered
the keynotes address by Craig Truax. secretary of the Corn
monweatth, and four of the workshop sesstour.)
By CHARLES REDMOND
Collegian IFC Reporter
The conclusion of the pledge-education workshop was
that no harras , mCnt. either mental or physical, should be
given to pledges
Torn Golden. chairman. said pledging could either puTh
a pledge back into a lesser position or bring out his best
qualities. He said instead of harrassing pledges, fraternities
should encourage them.
Members of the rush workshop said the present open
house rush policy of the IFC should be continued and ex
panded since it enables both the house and the rushees to
get better acquainted.
The social chairmen's workshop report concluded that
"theme" parties were needed to break the sameness of
fraternity parties.
Enforced pledge study hourS. posting of grades on 'big
brothers" doors, and strictly enforced quiet hours were
cited by the scholarship workshop as solutions to a fra
ternity's grade problems.
Incentives were also cited as ways t - ) improve the
grades of fraternity Men. A monetary inet.ntive where a
brother's average would be transformed ipto points anti
his house bill would :be lowered corresponding to his
grades. was suggested.
Better cooperation between houses v 'ith respect to
their bluebook files was• also cited as a vzav to improve
individual scholarship• under the worksl - oo plan, each
house would open its bluebook files to brothers of other
?
houses.
Francis Faxon. borough building inspector. spoke at
the house managers' workshop.! discussing• town fire and
housing regulations. He said fraternities should eliminate
trash and rags. carefully clean the grease in kitchens, and
adequately mark exits'to insure fire prevention.
• Faxon recently comuleted an extensive fire and build
ing inspection of the 56 fraternities after two of them
burned within the last year.
Delissovoy spoke at the caterers' workshop about the
FPA. He told the members that under the co-op plan, each
fraternity could save several hundred dollars a year.
Gorbey said this• year's workshop went "very well."
He added that Truax. "did a good job in pointing out the
areas of fraternities that need change," and said the work
shops "did a good job of coming up with solutions to those
problems."
