The Jawbone is a coffee house whose budget
barely "breaks even"—fall term it was in the red.
The most contact many sttidents have had
with it was at the beginning of !this 'term, when
"The Sounds of the Jawbone" werg blaring out
on the ground floor Of the Hetzel Union Building
to advertise "the Jaw's" new recording. However;
enough students, and faculty members have
dii
covered the Jawbone tomake standing room only
the rule during Many of t2ie Friday and Saturday
: , fight performances by folk singers.' poets; jug
bands and assorted others.
South of South Halls
• The Jaw. which is "south of South Halls" at
415 East Foster Avenue, consists of three rooms
which can hold a maximum of 100 people at its
small round tables, Since a fan and hood over
the large grill for "Jawburgers" fight a losing
battle with the smoke, the rooms are also filled
with -Authentic Jawbone "atmosphere!"
The walls hold modern art 'work loaned by
student artists fiir a few-weeks at: a tithe. A micro
phone and stool for performers, or anyone with
views to expre.4s are at the side of; the center
room. The kitchen serves food paid for by dona
tions.
Why is there a Jawbone? The Jawbone co
ordinator. Larry' Trettin pointed out that while the
coffee house - just about brealts even." the Jaw
bone \vasn't meant to be a commercial success.
Trettin. a Lutheran intern and Baptist theo
logical student from Princeton University, said the
Lutheran Student Association on campus saw a
"peed for an informal place for students to con
gregate." He said the Jaw is student operated,
financed and oriented and is staffed ,entirely by
•
volunteers.
Reputation for Openness
The Jawbone coordinator said the Jawbone
"has developed a reputation -for openness." He
sees it "as a place where ideas. both very Conven
tional and radiCal, can be expressed in the same
room."

WASHINGTON 1.-P) Testimony indicates. Sen. John
L. McClellan said yesterday, that - tite use of some funds ih
the commodity-import program in Vietnam was improper
and "of highly questionable legalitk."
It also indicates, he said, "gross laxity and inefficiency"
in the administration of the Agenci- for International De
velopment—AlD-program.
The Arkansas Democrat gave! that assessment after
three days of testimony before his' Permanent Investiga
tions sub-committe concerning alleged fraud and dishonesty
in the program where the Uited States finances the im
ports.
Testimony at yesterday's session indicated that a Viet
namese importer. named Dr.. Dinh! Xuan Thao set up a
phony 5800.000 expense account to promote a worthless
battery additive.

coffee house, be has found.
The Jaw fappeals to people due to its "open
ness and frqedom eNpression," Trettin ob
served. The Jawbone menu has a quote by Die
trich Bonhoeler abqve its prices for Jawburgers,
cheese platters and e=presso coffee which says:
"A Christian must plunge himself into the life
of a Godless !world.; without attempting to gloss
over its ungodliness; with a veneer of religion or
trying to transfigure) it ... To be a Christian does
not mean to be religious in a particular way ...
but to be a min." :
The idea for al coffee house appeared after
members of the LSA visited *'The Unmuzzled Ox"
at Cornell Urliversity during winter term of 1963.
Susan Sassaman (graduate-clothing .and textiles-
Harrisburg). a former LSA vice-president. said
that those who went were "inspired" by the ef
fectiveness of) this Coffee house.
The Ox served beer and attracted the "beat
niks and hippies" atj Cornell. Miss Sassaman noted
that the atmosphere, was "really cavey" with un
finished• walls and orange crates for tables.
The Penn, State delegation was not very im
pressed with the "different clientele" at The Un

Senate consideration of his nomination was deferred until

At the core of these hearings was the case of - Thomas

bridled Ass" after a Biblical quotation, ,but settled
for "The Jawbone" because it was necessary to
have the coffee house chartered by the University
Senate, she said. The.present Jawbone was built
with materials from an old •house. LSA members
and several interns, Miss Sassaman explained, pro
vided the labor.
She said that the Jaw, which opened in the
;fall of 1963, has failed to attract the "really con
troversial students" , since "all the people they (the
original LSA grotlp) were really after are at the
Skeller or someplace like that." It has also tended
to become more dated. which, "shuts people off"
from the others, 'she pointed out.
One Jawbone project keeping with the origi
nal idea for openness is the Tuesday night student
' faculty discussion on controversial topics, Miss
Sassaman said. Last year's Lutheran intern, Tom
Chittick. originated the idea, which is continuing
with topics questioning "The Aim of Education:
Social Adjustment or Human Liberation?" at
8 p.m. every Tuesday.
Show Business
,
This year the Jawbone made a record fea
turing the best entertainers at the coffee house.
Karen Lee, a senior resident in. East. Halls, took the
pictures makiir , ' up the album cover. Over a
' hundred of the RCA Victor-pressed. records have
been sold at $3.95.
A wide range of side uses have been niade
of the Jawbone. Students have made motion pic
' lures, videotapes, speeches and term papers on the
'Jaw for anthropology and business education.
,Such- groups as the Pan-Hellenic Council, Grad
, uate Student Association, the Philosophy Club
and the Episcopal Student Association have held
meetings there. Also, NBC radio did a presentation
on the coffee house last year.
When the Jawbone coffee house first opened,
customers kept. asking "what's your pitch," the
Rev. Mr. Seyda observed. The Jawbone is now
accepted, without a pitch, as a place for students
to talk, as its name implies.

•The Florida inventor "stashed away" about 592,000

ilHiggins was unable to testify. He came to WaShington
to do so but entered a psychiatric institute in 'Baltimore

•The battery' additive neVer Was sold in Saigon. Most
of it still lies in a warehouse.
•Thao's Swiss bank account has at least another
.5150.000 in it from similar arrangements with 'other U.S.
suppliers.
•Thao dummied up the SBOO,OOO expense account but
little, if any, of the money was sp'prtj to promote the addi

but apparently had the expense account set up for $BOO.OOO
to cover future payment he expeced from Higgins.
