Altoona Students Face Trial
By STEVE ACCARDY
Collegian Staff Writer
Approximately 45 University students
attending the Altoona Campus were involved
in a sUrprise raid by the Pennsylvania
Liquor Control Board April 21.
A total of 60 studerLis from local college
campuse's became involved as the LCB en
tered a Party at the Bellwood Fish and Garde
Club about 10 miles from the Altoona Cam-
pus. '1
The students will be charged with pos

That tempering word "discriminat

from the text distributed in advance of

muffle the debate which had raged in

Fulbright Comments
Sen. J. W. Fulbright ,D
300 students decided to awiit - possible action
by the faculty senate at a meeting next Wed-
The student newspaper, The Daily Penn
sylvanian. asked Darnwell to "think about
stepping aside.in the y ' near future."
•
The students mainly were protesting a
$485.000 Airy Force 'contract called "Spice
RaCk." which is for the development of
chemical biological warfare research. The
students contend that the project is for
immoral purposes and that it violates uni
versity policy that research should be freely
publishable. The results of "Spice Rack" are
not publishable.
The Daily Pennsylvanian said in an edi
torial that Hiirnwell, 63, is "facing problems
today that he probably didn't believe could
exist when h l e assumed the presidency. Stu
dents and faA.ulty are demanding a greater
voice in policly decisions," the paper said.
The editorial sugested that Dr. Barnwell,
Who has been president 14 years, "think
about stepping aside the near future for a
younger man, a man who is a little closer in
yea' s and outlook to the students for which
the university exists."
Harnweli had announced several moo ..s
ago that the research would be conducted at
the University City Science Center rather
than at the University. The center is a joint
venture by area universities and private in
dustry, but Penn owns a majority of the
stock.
The demonstrators claim that since Penn
owns most of the stock, their original argu
ments still hold.
The facility senate, which already has
voted against permitting the project at Penn,
is expected to consider the,.transfer of "Spice

"The 'demand for nurses with both the
