At last week's meeting Klas ky presented a petition to the con g ress signed by more than 1000 members of the University community requesting that USG endorse their stand that the University break all rela tions with IDA immediately. Table Resolution COngress responded to this demand by first tabling Klas ky's resolution and then estab lishing a congressional com mittee to ascertain the facts concerning th e University's exact relation with IDA. The resolution to be presented to night is the result of that com mittee's work, which was head ed by Thompson. The resolution states that "the USG believes that ade quate research should precede any formal action regarding the legitimacy of IDA affilia tion and is concerned with the purpose of IDA as a research organization in an academic community." The resolution, in Thomp son's wo-ds, "is worded in such a way so that the most obtain able information can be ob tained. It is not worded to be a program that gives money to students whose fathers make $20,00 , 1 and S? 5,000, a year." Ferguson said that there is a possibility that PHEAA loans are being distributed unfairly. He said he can't understand the discrepencies, since parents' income statements must be in cluded with the scholarship ap plications. "Since the need for scholar ships is increasing each year," Ferguson said, "the PHEAA program may need overhaul ing a bit." The bill's sponsors say that their loan plan will make more money available to students than the PHEAA does now. Stu dents who get the loans will be given 15 years to pay the loans back, and they will repay only 90% of the original principal. Savings of 543 million Among the representatives objectionable to anyone." Acc6rding to the bills spon- signing the measure was Miles The resolution calls on Eric sors, the establishment of a B. Zimmerman sr., R-Lower A. Walker, University Presi loan agency in the place of Paxton. Zimmerman is a Penn dent, to "furnish the USG with PHEAA would save the ,state State graduate., unclassified information" con , more than $43 million. • Ferguson said that the bill was probably introduced in an effort to cut the budget. More than half the state budget is taken up by public education, he said. Speaking of the let,islators, he said, "They're searching for ways to save money in order to meet many demands of education, including elemen tary and secondary schools, de mands for increasing teachers' salaries, aid to private and parochial schools, aid to state supported universities and state and community colleges." The sponsors said that since college graduates earnmore than people who d not bave a degree, students will be glad to pay back loans that enable them to attend school. The French president is on a second day of a state visit here. He attended a Romanian government reception last night and planned a two-day tour of industrial areas north of the capital Thursday with Romanian party chief Nicolae Ceaucescu. Bombing of North Decreases in May SAIGON —' Despite improving weather over North Vietnam, U.S. planes fleW sewer missions in the first two weeks of May than they did during poor weather the last two weeks of April, a tabulation showed yesterday. This raised the question: Is the U.S. government slowly scaling down the bombing of North Vietnam's southern panhandle as a gesture in the light of current negotiations in Paris? The U.S. Command will not comment. Based on daily communiques, U.S. pilots flew 1,640 missions over the southern panhandle in the last two weeks of April despite bad weather. With skies clearing, thy have flown 1,513 missions in the first two weeks of May. In near cloudless - weather Tuesday, U.S. pilots flew only 101 missift is over the North.

William Cromer, chairman of the local chap ter of the Young Republicans and state chairman of the Republican College Council, said last night that a band will be present on the HUB lawn. He reported that plans for a motorcade this morn ing have been dropped. Cromer will introduce Rockefeller, who will be presented with an engraved sculpture of the Nittany Lion. Checked With Administration "The governor realized all of the work that went into his scheduled appearance here," Cr:.mer said last night. "He wanted to do everything pos sible to return, so he checked with the Adminis tration. which gave the OK." Rockefeller will leave University Park imme diately after his speech and the question-and answer period, at about 2:30 p.m. He will return to Pittsburgh. Cromer said that Rockefeller canceled his Pittsburgh meeting with Pennsylvania's delegates to the Republican national convention, in order that he might appear here today. The governor met last night with four other Republican governors to discuss the GOP national campaign platform. He will return to Pittsburgh today to meet with the state delegates. Will 'Woo Young Voters The Associated Press reported last night that Rockefeller's speech here is intended to "woo young voters with declarations that he supported their urge for an end to the war in Vietnam through negotiations for an honorable peace, that the voting age be lowered to 18, and that there be an immediate reform in the draft laws." Ties science and the academic coin- The resolution with the ques tion to Walker, "Supply in formation as specific as pos sible of an unclassified nature concerning the general value and function of the Institute for" Defense Analyses." This statement is the major impetus of the information USG is at tempting to gather with the resolution. Thompson said he expects Walker to cooperate fully in ansNA eying the questions posed by the resolution if USG should pass the legislation. He said, "I see no reason why, within a reasonable time, he would not have answers to satisfy our needs." This afternoon Thompson, Klasky, James Creegan and Douglass Cooper, all of the USG committee to investigate IDA, will meet with E. F. 0 s born, vice president in charge of research. The USG resolution is expected to be dis cussed at that time. Resolution Will Stand "The point of this meeting is to investigate the situation by going to the people who know and not just writing chal lenges to the Administration for propaganda value," Cooper said last night. The outcome of this meeting may affect the fate of Thomp son's resoution, Thompson said. Jeff Polaski, moderator of the USG-IDA forum to be held to night, had requested that Thompson and Kla•':y with draw the resolution oecause of the forum. Klasky said, "I will not withdraw the resolution. The resolution will stand." Thompson supported this stand and added. "We will not even consider withdrawing the resolution until after the meet ing with Osborn this after noon." .~.,.. ...................,,..:.:,d:....~....._.....w. .e ".-:.!..,....
