U.S. Jets Bomb Enemy Supply Lines
SAIGON U.S. warplanes swarmed over North
Vietnam's southern panhandle yesterday in the second
straight day of intensified attacks designed to check the
enemy flow of men and supplies to South Vietnam.
Barred since Monday by President Johnson's order
halting bombing of North Vietnam's industrial heartland
farther north, pilots zeroed in on communications lines
truck supply roads, railroads and waterways.
Whether they streaked as far north as Monday, when
they hit a target about 210 miles north of the demilitarized
zone between North and South Vietnam, was not known
but a Hanoi broadcast claimed they did.
The broadcast said one F-4 Phantom was shot down
when U.S. planes made repeated raids on Thanh Hoa
Province
U.S. fighter-bombers smashed at a supply base Mon
day near the coastal city of Thanh Hoa, 210 miles north
west of the demilitarized zone and 80 miles south of
Hanoi, the North Vietnamese capital now off limits for the
American planes.
N. Vietnam Calls Peace Offer 'Fraud
TOKYO North Vietnam's official press was quoted
yesterday as saying President Johnson has not agreed to halt
all bombings unconditionally and is trying to mislead public
opinion.
This seemed an oblique indication that Hanoi is unready
to go to the peace table now despite Johnson's order Sunday
curtailing bombing in the North.
Both the Soviet news agency Tass and Peking radio
quoted the North Vietnamese army newspaper Quan Doi
Nhan Dan as saying Johnson was trying to mislead public
opinion.
The official Communist party newspaper Nhan Dan made
no direct reference to Johnson's proposal that talks begin
now since most of North Vietnam has been placed off limits
to bombers.
But it spoke of an American "fraudulent proposal for
peace talks," said the pro-Communist Japanese Denpa News
Agency •in a dispatch from Hanoi.

HHH Undecided On Presidential Candidacy
WASHINGTON.— A close friend of Hubert H. Hum
phrey said yesterday the vice president won't decide whether
to become a presidential candidate "for a couple of weeks
or more." •
"The vice president is going to take time . to' appraise
his chances and he is not going to be hurried," the associate
said.
He added that Humphrey,, who was in Mexico on - a diplo
matic mission when. President . Johnson --announced Sunday
night that he would not 'seek re-election, has told his staff
he "is not a candidate yet."
Key members of the vice president's staff are almost
unanimous in urging him to immediately enter the race
for the Democratic presidential nomination. They argue that
any delay would give Sen. Robert F. Kennedy of New York
the opportunity to sew up enough delegate strength to clinch
the nomination.
Fulbright Scorns LBJ's Bomb Halt
WASHINGTON Sen. J. W. Fulbright, D-Ark.,
charged yesterday the bombing cutback ordered by Presi
dent Johnson "is of no consequence and certainly not an
inducement for the North to come to the conference table."
Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, of Mon
tana, and some other members disagreed.
Fulbright held that, in announcing the change in
bombing policy Sunday night, Johnson had left the im
pression that air attacks would be confined to the imme
diate area of the demilitarized zone between South and
North Vietnam.
Since then, Fulbright said, raids have extended more
than 200 miles north of the zone.
Fulbright, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, and longtime Vietnam war critic, said he had
telephoned congratulations to Johnson after the Sunday
night announcement.
The State
Student Power Rally Held At Cheyney
CHEYNEY, Pa. About 1,800 Cheyney State College
students rallied on campus yesterday to hear administra
tion answers to demands for "student power."
"Student power is now a•fact," a member of the Black
Student League told an orderly crowd.
"We do have power now, and 'it places a great re
sponsibility on every one of us."
Nearly two weeks ago the school was closed for several
days after students demonstarted over the expulsion of a
fellow student and lack of student control on various cam
pus committees and organizations.
Yesterday, the administration answered the demands,
granting the students at the predominately Negro school
much of the power they asked for.
Dr. Leßoy B. Allen, college president, said the de
mands included student control of the campus newspaper,
representation on various judicial and administrative com
mittees, publication of a quarterly financial statement of
student government funds, and other requests.
DemoCrats Lead ha Voter Registration
HARRISBURG On the basis of preliminary figures
from all 67 counties, it appears that Pennsylvania Demo
crats have reversed a Republican advantage and will
carry an 18,600 voter registration edge into the April 23
primary election.
Unofficial figures from all counties show: Democrats
—2,556,993, Republicans-2,538,315.
This represents an over-all gain of approximately
27,000 voters for the Democrats since the GOP held a
9,500 advantage going into last November's municipal
elections.
Both parties, however, recorded an overall decline in
their registrations in keeping with the tradition of Penn
sylvania primary figures.
Last November the count stood: Republicans, 2,618,-
230, Democrats-2,618,723.
Despite the fact that this is a presidential year, there
is no concerted campaign underway in the state at this
time.

McCarthy Leads in Wisconsin
MILWAUKEE, Wis. (IP) Sen. Eugene
J. McCarthy, (D-Minn.), rode the anti-Viet
nam .war issue to a clear-cut victory over
retiring President Johnson in a prestige
building torrent of votes in yesterday's Wis
consin presidential primary.
Holding steadily at 55 per cent of the
Democratic total as returns mounted, Mc-
Carthy won the bulk of the state's 59-vote
convention delegation to retain his place as
a front runner for the nomination Johnson
said he didn't want.
A heavy turnout of Republicans indi
cated that former Vice President Richard
M. Nixon might top the 339,393 votes he
got in the 1960 Wisconsin primary.
'ln that -year, when he won the party
nomination he was unopposed. In yesterday's
countdown, he had only nominal opposition
from Gov. Ronald Reagan of California and
perennial candidate Harold E. Stassen.
With 1,844 of 3,291 precincts counted
in the Democratic primary, McCarthy had
289,658 votes, or 55 per cent of the party
total;- Johnson had 195,280, for- 37 per cent.
In the Republican balloting, with 1,831
precincts counted, Nixon had 267,590 or 80
per cent; California Gov. Ronald Reagan
35,894 or 11 per cent, Stassen 19,348, or 6
per cent.
The mounting total for Nixon indicated
that few Republicans took advantage of the
opportunity offered. , Wisconsin voters to
choose either ballot and cross over the line.

NELSON A. ROCKEFELLER
Students

Ry DAVE NESTOR
Collegian Staff Writer
In the ever changing political
picture, new groups and old
candidates are constantly corn
ing on the scene. Students for
Reagan, has just appeared on
campus, And "Choice: Rocke
feller", has opened headquar
ters in New York.
Donald Ernsberger (9th-po
litical science - Hatboro),
spokesman for Students for
Reagan, announced that the
group would promote the prin
ciples and candidacy of Ronald
Reagan, governor' of California.
The immediate goal of the
group is to attain student votes
for Reagan in the April 24 Time
magazine Primary (Choice:
68) at the University.
The candidacy of Reagan,
Ernsberger said, represents
"the forgotten American, the
taxpayer who is forced to pay
for others-comfort, the farmer
who is told what he can raise
on his land, the housewife who
must face inflated prices at
the local store, and the college
student who looks forward only
to being drafted by a Big Gov
ernment which feels its power
over' the lives of its citizens is
absolute."
LA College Offers Negro History
The University is launching an ex
perimental new program in liberal arts
this spring that will include a com
prehensive course in American Negro
history - to be taught via two-way tele
vision.
The hookup will involve students
at University Park and the Capitol
Campus in Middletown, just outside of
Harrisburg.
Keyed to what Arthur 0. Lewis
Jr., associate dean of liberal arts, calls
"non-traditional areas of study in
volving an interdisciplinary approach,"
the overall program will also feature
such courses as the culture of poverty,
energy and the human environment,
and the future as retrospect.
"In some cases, the course isn't
even the field in which the teacher
specializes, but it is one in which he
has done a lot of work and research,
either as a related interest or as an
avocation," Lewis explained.
As an example, he points to Fran
cis J.,Vastola, fuels scientist and laser
expert, who will teach the "Energy and
Human Environment" course examin
ing technological concepts and the con
sequences of their implementation from
man's use of fire to the exploration of
space.
But, clearly one of the most sig
nificant new areas of study to be pro
jected in the new program is "The Ne
gro in the American Experience," de
veloped by Daniel Walden, associate
professor of history at the Capitol Cam
pus. ,
Using John Hope Franklin's well
known "From Slavery to Freedom" as
its basic textbook, the new course will
examine from the beg;nning the inte
gral role of the black man, both active
'and passive, in American history, cul-

"Reagan represents a stop
to the trend toward the welfare
state where a man's life and
property is not his but the play
thing of the electorate," Erns
berger said.
Students for'Reaga.n, accord
ing to Ernsberger, is endeaver
ing to introduce the proposals
of the "Creative Society" to
the University. As Reagan
stated, "There is a role for
the government, but not as a
substitute for the people. Gov
ernment's role is to lead in
mobilizing the full and volun
tary resources of the people. In
California we call this a Crea--
tive Society. Let's stop being
our brother's keeper and start
being his brother."
"Choice: Rockefeller," ac
cording to Bruce Kelly, execu
tive director, is a national stu
dent-youth committee support

ernor of New York, for the Re

'Choice: Rockefeller' will be a

that he would wind up with 55 per cent
of the vote. He said he considered it "a most
significant victory."
The Minnesota senator said he was
sorry that Johnson "did not stay in down
the home stretch." He said he thinks he
would have benefitted from a GOP cross
over if the President, whose name retrained
on the ballot, had not said he would not
be a candidate.
In New York, Nixon said that the size
of his vote "is a certain sign the state will
go Republican in November." He carried it
in 1960.
"The tide that began to flow in New
Hampshire continues to flow, he said. "If
current trends hold up we will receive the
same 80 per cent of the vote we won in
New Hampshire."
Nixon's showing brought Gov. Warren
P. Knowles promptly into the former vice
president's- camp. .Knowles had remained
neutral in the campaign.
Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, (D-N.Y.), cur
rently McCarthy's chief rival for the nomi
nation, got about 5 per cent of the Demo
cratic
,vote on write-ins. In Philadelphia he
congratulated McCarthy for "an outstand
ing job of presenting the issues."
Kennedy said the Wisconsin vote showed
that "there is a good deal of opposition" to
Johnson's war course. He added that he

"It has become vital for both white
and black to recognize in its true per
spective the contribution of the black
man in America," Walden said in ex
plaining the need for such a course.
"It is especially timely and needful
because of the crisis in our cities and
in view of the recent riot-commission
report."
Current plans call for Walden to
teach by television from the Capitol
Campus on Monday and this campus
on Wednesday, bringing the courses on
those days to classes at both points.
On Tuesday he will teach only his
Capitol Campus students, and oil
Thursday he will teach only his stu
dents- here.
"Understanding the influences of
the Negro and recreating the vitality
and vigor of the issues, in history and
literature, and in sociology principally;
is the purpose and method of this
course," Walden said.
Novels, Paperbacks
In addition to the Franklin book,
students will be called on to use a
series of important paperbacks as well,
including: "Slavery" by Stanley Elkins;
"The Era of Reconstruction," by Fran
cis Broderick and August Meier, and
one novel, "The Invisible Man," by
Ralph Ellison.
"Black Power: the Politics of Lib
eration," by Stokeley Carmichael and
Charles Hamilton, and Walden's own
book, "American Reform: the Ambigu
ous Legacy," have been suggested as
optional books for the course.
A variety of circumstances led to
the incorporation of the Negro history
course into theexperimental libral arts
program. Originally it had been de
veloped by Walden to become part of

Parties Announce Candidates
By DENNIS STIMELING
Collegian USG Reporter
Spring Term elections begin officially tomorrow night
for the Undergraduate Student Government when the stu
dent political parties hold their nominating conventions.
Both the New Party and the newly merged Student-
Lion Party have indicated the desire to have Jon Fox,
current USG vice president, head their ticket. So far, he
is unopposed.
Last night Fox announced that he would run for the
presidential nomination of the Student-Lion party. Later,
an official of the New Party suggested that if Fox wins
his announced nomination from the Student-Lion Party
the New Party probably would not run any candidate
against him.
Previously, speculation had existed that James Kef
ford, WMAJ announcer, would seek the nomination to
oppose Fox. Last night Kefford denied this and said he
would not seek any USG office. He is presently the special
assistant to President Jeff Long in charge of USG's tuition
hike fight.
• Other nominations include Theodore Thompson (6th
political science-business administration-Yeardon) for USG
vice-president on the' Student-Lion Party ticket; Steve
,Gerson _(9th,accounting-Pittsburgh), head of
_the Adminis
trative Action Committee, had announced his candidacy for
the New Party' nomination.
Harvey Reeder (6th-labor management relations-Mount
Union) and Donald Paule (6th-liberal arts-Alexandria, Va.)
have announced their intentions for the nominations of the
Student-Lion Party and New Party respectively for the
office of USG treasurer.
Murray Schecter (9th-speech-Philadelphia) has an
nounced his candidacy for IFC congressman, Barry Todd
(9th-general arts and science-Pittsburgh) for West Halls
area Congressman and Lee Ann Dawes (10th-French-Trout
Run) for Pollock area, all on the Student-Lion Party
ticket.
In the same category, the New Party has Elena Ciletti
(6th-art-Pottsville) for North Halls Congressman, Gary
Wamser (6th-pre-law-Bethlehem) for West Halls area,
and Julie Carnover, Ed Beckwith (3rd-engineering-Pomp-

It's that time of the term again. The Daily Collegian
is opening its doors to all students interested in writing
for The Collegian or just interested in catching a glimpse
of Collegian operations.

ial and business staff members and can see what's in

at the Capitol Campus. However, while
Walden was doing his work some 100
miles away, th e Douglass Society,
a Negro organization her e, ap
proached Kenneth D. Roose, dean of
the College of the Liberal Arts, last
fall and asked for such a course uni
versity-wide.
"the Walden course was a perfect
fit for the request, so we decided to
expand it to the University Park cam
pus as well, using the facilities of our
two-way television hookup," Lewis
said.
In support of the project, the his
tory department under the direction of
Robert K. Murray, has released a grad
uate assistant to aid in the project.
A Story of Betrayal
Starting with the African, the
course will bring to the student details
of the economic and racial bases of
the slave trade and the slave experi
ence in the United States. It will out
line the struggle of the black man in
America to become a free and produc
tive American, and it will describe the
promise of his emancipation and re
construction and the subsequent be
trayal of this promise.
"The modern protest movement
that has evolved into the massive '
struggle for human rights is seen in
its full magnitude," Walden, a specilist
in Afro-American history, said. "The
course details the changes from the
African into the American Negro and
finally into the prideful black man
he is now. It is the story of the black
man's history in the United States—
and as such, an attempt to understand
America as a civilization."
The experimental liberal arts pro
gram also contains related course on
the culture of poverty, to he taught by
David Schulz, newly-appointed assist
ant professor of sociology.
"a great deal" from Johnson's exit from
competition.
Although both McCarthy and Kennedy
have been highly critical of the President's
Asian politics, they stopped short of advo- ,
eating any abrupt American withdrawal.
A referendum on the ballot in Madi
son, where war citicism has been hottest,
called for an immediate cease fire and an
American withdrawal. It apparently was de
feated. •
In the final days of campaigning, Mc-
Carthy bore down on the civil rights issue,
particularly with proposals for open housing.
But Milwaukee Mayor Henry Maier,
who called in the National Guard to choke
off a riot last August, was re-elected to
a third four-year term with a towering mar
gin of nearly 90 per cent of the votes.
Johnson hung on to two congressional'
districts in Milwaukee and thus seemed like
ly to collect eight convention delegates from
those. McCarthy claimed all of the remain
der of the 59-vote delegation, except for
the two national committee members who
go uninstructed.
The President presumably could ask
them to support some active candidate. This
could mean a pickup for Vice President Hu
bert H. Humphrey, hovering on the verge
of candidacy.
Humphrey got some scattered write-in
votes in the' primary without any campaign
having been conducted for him.
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New
Fox Could Be Unopsosed
York, who has declined to become an ac
tive candidate but who has said he would s
accept a draft, was getting around 1 per
cent of the GOP vote on a write-in.
Humphrey said in New York he has
not decided whether to run for president.
"I'll let you know when I do," he said.
In Minneapolis, prominent Democrats
organized a movement to back Humphrey
for the Democratic nomination. William Ku
bicek, secretary of the Democratic-Farmer-
Labor Party, said a state-wide volunteer
committee was being formed.
At stake in the final outcome was Mc-
Carthy's position as a challenger for the
party nomination. Nixon's supporters were
aiming to exceed the 29 per cent of the two
party total he got running unopposed in the
1960 primary to bolster his image as a vote
getter.
With Johnson a dropout, McCarthy said
"It's as though you were in a horse race
and you made the final turn for home and
the other horse jumps over the rail and
starts to eat grass."
McCarthy told an informal news con
ference that the possible entry of Vice Presi
dent Hubert H. Humphrey, his former Min
nesota Senatorial colleague, into the race
would be irrevalent.
"It might give some people like labor
leaders a place to hide for a while, but it
won't make much difference one way or
the other," he said.

cation-West Chester) for Pollock Congressman.
Nominations are still open in the New Party for South
and East Halls representatives. Open positions in the Stu
dent-Lion Party nominations are South, East" and North
Halls Congress seats.
Any student may run for a USG office without party
support. A petition of 100 signatures from the candidate's
living area must be presented to USG within 36 hours
after the political conventions Thursday evening for a
student to be declared a nominee.
A student desiring to run as an independent candidate
for a USG executive position must present a petition of
500 signatures. A candidate for a class presidency must
have a petition signed by 200 of his classmates.
The election commissioner will then decide on the
validity of the petition and the status of the independent
candidates.
Senate Discusses
Students, Faculty
By RICHARD RAVITZ
Collegian News Editor
biscussion of the need .tor im
proving student-faculty com
munication dominated th e
April meeting of the University
Senate yesterday.
Ernest C. Pollard, head of
th e biophysics department,
warned the Senate that it is
becoming increasingly difficult
for students ts' obtain letters of
recommendation for graduate
school or fellowship program
admittance.
In the broader context of the
academic p r o g r a in. Pollard
noted that sta..ipiag a machine
No. 2 card does not constitute
advising the student. He said
that students may choose their
courses with minimal contact
with the adviser, but the stu
dent should have an opportu
nity to . ..mild a more personal
relationship with an instructor
in his major.
Luncheon Date
Pollard suggested that stu
dents and faculty meet over
lunch at least twice a year to
talk informally about their fu
ture plans and to become ac
quainted with each other on a
familiar basis.
He further suggested that

M. Nelson McGeary, dean of
the gr2duate school, attested
that many students lose

because they are unable to ob

Several senators noted that

Pollard suggested "that it be

school take at least one course
at the end of their junior year
and no later than the first term
of their senio: year in which
