Romney Warns of
Racial Violence
LANSING, Mich. (Al Warning , that Michigan And
the nation face growing danger of more racial violence
next summer, Gov. George Romney yesterday called on
state lawmakers to provide for "greater justice and better
law enforcement."
"There are citizens organized, trained and armed for
violence, riots and civil guerrilla warfare," Romney, a
candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, said
in his annual state of the state message.
"They are using the latest methods and means de
veloped in Cuba, China and Southeast Asia" and are
"steadily enlisting and securing more recruits," he said.
"On the other hand, there are those who are arming
at an alarming rate to protect themselves and to take the
law into their own hands." Romney added.
The governor said eliminating racial discrimination
and human injustice by peaceful and orderly changes is
the key issue in the nation's cities today.
His specific proposals, open housing, tenants rights
and riot-control legislation, drew applause from legislators
and the state's top executive and judicial officers who
crowded into the House chamber to hear the message.
.Romney indicated he had drawn his conclusions from
last summer's Detroit riots, his urban tour last fall and
consultation with state police officials.
Almost immediately following his speech, Romney left
for a seven-day campaign swing through New Hampshire,
site of the nation's first presidential primary, March 12 .
Romney's message also sought increased aid to educa
tion, a boost in the state's $1.25 per hour mininum wage,
reorganization of the state's lower court system, stiffer
controls over public employe bargaining and band issues
to help finance cost of protecting the state's natural re
sources.
Weintraub To Talk

of English, will speak at 8 p.m.

ISA Office Greets Foreign Students
By JULIE DUNLAP
Collegian Staff Writer
There is at the University a
little-publicized of f ice con
cerned with a little-publicized
group of people. This is the Of
fice of International iltudent
Affairs in Willard, which looks
after the 540 students attending
Penn State from over 70 dif
ferent countries.
The office's chief function is
to contact the students after
they have been admitted to
check on their financial and
immigration status and to in
terview each individual after
his second week on campus.
The interview is designed to
acquaint the students with
available activities and solve
problems that often arise when
living in a large, strange Amer
ican university. The office has
no more individual contact
with international students until
immigration papers have to be
updated or the students give
final reports before leaving the
University.
Two Main Activities
There are two main activi
ties which the Office of Inter
national Student Affairs super_
visers. The first is the Inter
national Council. This organiza
tion has representatives from
countries with many students
here and from all geographical
or ethic groups. For example,
India and the Moselms are

among those who have seats
in the council. The Council dis
cusses problems which arise
and plans activities for their
various groups. The other ac
tivity run by the office is its
weekly Seminar in American
Language and Culture held
Monday evenings at 7:30 in
173 Willard. Guest speakers for
th..: present term will lead dis
cussions on such subjects as
the hippies, American business,
American theatre, and presi
dential elections. Anyone is
welcome to attend.
It is a recognized problem
that on a campus as large as
ours, it is difficult to get a
feeling of belonging and to get
to know any great number of
people. This is especially diffi
cult for the international stu
dents who are not f miller with
American ways and to whom
not much notice is given. The
International Office, therefore,
provides several activi ties
throughout the year such as
International Night, a banquet,
and many social get-togethers.
This is done with a budget pro
vide,-', by the University.
Closer Contact Sought
There are even more am
bitious programs being planned
to improve relations between
American an d international
students by bringing them into
closer contact. These include a
residence hall program slated

CLASSROOM LABORATORY BUILDING to be constructed at- the University's Hazleton
branch campus is depicted in the artists' sketch. Construction of the three•story building
is expected to begin in late spring. The prospected cost is $1.6 million.
Hazelton
Preliminary plans for a $1.6
million three-story classroom
laboratory building at the Uni
versity's Hazleton Campus
have been approved by the
Board of Trustees.
According to Frank C. Kos
tos, director of tin Campus,
construction is expected to be
gin in the spring, after final
plans have been approved and
contracts awarded.
More than $200,000 was raised
in the Hazleton area toward
the project, which is also being
financed by $643,280 from Fed
eral sources and $664,500 from
the General State Authority of
the State.
The ground floor of the new
building will have a large
lecture room for 182 students,
in addition to storage and
equipment rooms. The first fac
ulty and administrative offices,
and two seminar rooms.

currently guarantees letters

Abandons Railroad
The Post Office plans to
ask Congress in 1969 to
formally eliminate the air
mail rate and create a new
single-class priority service
under which all letters des
tined for distant points would
travel by plane.
56% Go First Class
First-class mail accounts
for about 56 per cent of all
letters, and O'Brien said 40
per cent of this is going far
enough to be airlifted. The
remainder is destined for
nearby points.
The plan would virtually
eliminate the railroad as
carriers of first-class mail—
and the industry may use the
announcement as a basis for
another round of proposals to
discontinue more passenger
trains.
O'Brien said, however, that
the railroads "will remain a
vital link in our over-all
transportation pattern, par
ticularly in the movement of
containers, parcel post and
other bulk mail."
The Post Office expects to
pay the railroads about $270
million this year for carrying
mail and O'Brien said the de
partment's move toward an
all-air first-class system
would not affect this revenue.
Almost Total Airlift
O'Brien said "very, very
little" first-class mail cur
rently is being handled by
the railroads and "we have
what closely approximates a
total airlift service now."
The department expects to
pay the airlines this year
about $159 million for trans
porting mail. O'Brien said
that although airmail reve
nue now totals about $ll4
million he believes that the
revenue loss which would re
sult from eliminating the
higher priced airmail service
will be limited because of

improved handling.
The Post Office, O'Brien
said, developed much of its
current airlift service during
the past year by expanding
