VOL. 69, No. 15 zzzaa from the associated press News Roundup: From the State, Nation &World The World Israel Proposes Nine-Point Peace Plan UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. Israel advanced yesterday a nine-point plan for peace with the Arabs that stressed readiness to negotiate immediately the issue of permanent boundaries, but made clear its intention to retain the Old City of Jerusalem. In a policy speech to the 125-nation General Assembly, Abba Eban, the Israeli foreign minister, proposed also an international conference of Middle East countries to set tip a five-year plan for solution of the Palestine refugee prob lem. He said the conference could be called in advance of peace negotiations. The Arab nations, with support of the Soviet Union, have been demanding that Israel giye up Arab territory won in the war of June 5-10, 1967, as the first priority in arranging a permanent peace settlement. The United States has been putting its hopes for a settlement on the private negotiations being conducted by Gunnar Jarring of Sweden, the peace envoy of Secretary- General U Thant. Allied Sweeps Capture V.C. Supplies SAIGON Massive allied ground sweeps north:west of Saigdn and in the southern half of the demilitarized zone far to the north recently have uncovered more than 150 tons of enemy munitions and supplies, the U.S. Command announced yesterday. Although there has been relatively little ground fight ing, considering the massive scope of these operations, one U.S. source speculated that the loss of so many supplies "has hurt the enemy beyond physical punishment." Without the stockpiles of food, munitions and medical supplies, the enemy may have to postpone or abort future offensives that were expected in the November monsoon season, said the source. A 40-minute firefight at noon yesterday ended two days of sporadic fighting near the district capital of Trang Bang, 28 miles northwest of Saigon. About 300 troops of the U.S. 25th Infantry Division, reinforced by 500 para troopers of the 101st Airborne, routed an old adversary, the North Vietnamese 101st Regiment.

Indian Clan Hunts For Dying Fugitive TISHOMINGO. Okla. Male members of a Chickasaw Indian family - scattered into the roadless hills of south eastern Oklahoma yesterday to seek a fugitive relative and his 4-year-old son before the man dies from lack of medi cation. The fugitive, Loy Factor, 43, of nearby Fillmore, has eluded bloodhounds, airplanes,. and hundreds of searchers since fleeing into the woods last Wednesday, taking his frail young son with him. McElroy Factor, a brother of the hunted man, arrived in Tishomingo from his home in Dallas, Tex., about 1 a.m. yesterday and began gathering the relatives for a confer ence that lasted till dawn. They decided to go into the hills and caves after him. Police believe the wanted man is armed with a "cheap .22 caliber pistol." The search centered in a six by, three mile area. Five families who live on the periphery left their homes until Factor is found. * * * Narcotics, Thalidomide Effects Compared PORTLAND, Ore. Infant deformities typical of those in babies whose mothers took the drug thalidomide have been showing up in babies born to narcotics users, Dr. David B. Shurtleff of Seattle told a meeting here. He said he suspected that thalidomide was getting mixed with black market narcotics. Dr. Shurtleff, director of the birth defects clinic at the University of Washington Medical School Hospital, spoke Monday to a regional March of Dimes meeting. He said the hospital had three deformity cases typical , of thalidomide—a sedative widely used in Europe until its effect on unborn babies was diScovered some years ago. Sale of thalidomide in the United States is prohibited. Shurtleff said two of the babies were born to known drug addicts and a third was born to a woman whose neighbor, a known addict, had given her "a pink happiness powder." * * .* The State T.V.

The organization will be known as "Citizens for Justice With Order," said N. Bruce Palmer, NICB president, with comedian Bob Hope as honorary chairman. Palmer told the second general session of the American Gas• Association, meeting at the Civic Center, that he be came concerned about domestic crime and disorder last year after the fatal stabbing of his wife in their Morris town, N.J., home. He said he received 2,000 letters from people in all walks of .life, asking: "What can we do to help?"

Kenneth Wodtke, associate professor in the Department of Educational Psychology, an nounced the formation of the group at Sunday's gathering on Old Main lawn. . Wodtke, agreeing with stu dent allegations, said, "The fact is the Faculty Senate is a powerless organization and the USG is a powerless organiza tion." The professor outlined a number of issues which he hopes the committee will investigate. Wodtke called for " a redistribution of power in the University so students can decide what affects their own lives." Among the issues he men tioned were student housing, Candidates Campaign WASHINGTON (AP) Hubert H. Humphrey said yesterday the United States and the Soviet Union have "a spe cial and parallel responsibility" for world peace, and he proposed that their leaders hold regular summit meetings each year. "If there are to be regular summits," the vice president said, "they must entail common work for peace" and "must not become mere vehicles for propaganda nor springboards for illusion." State Scholarshi •s Fair? Student Aid Probed HARRISBURG (AP) Members of a special Senate investigating Committee questioned the fairness yesterday of the state's method of awarding college scholarships. ' The complaints came at the first public hearing of the committee, headed by Sen. John T. Van Sant, which is look ing into the program administered by the State Higher Education ASsistance Agency. Sen. Martin L. Murray (D-Luzerne) brought up the question of equality when he asked if it were fair that a student at tending the University of Pennsylvania where tuition is $1,900 - should receive an amount similar to one attending a state-owned or state-related college. • Tuition at state-owned and related schools usually is considerably less than at private schools. Kenneth R. Reeher, executive direc tor of the scholarship agency, said that •one reason for the possible inequity was the reduction of the maximum grant per Student from $1,200 to $BOO a year. That change went in . , effect for the current school year „ - . ' • Later, Reeher expanded his, answer, noting • that "private- schools: .80 have other funds available for assistance."

Wodtke also called for a separation of the counselling and• disciplinary departments. He feels that anything a stu dent tells a counselor should be considered confidential and not used as evidence in disciplinary proceedings. Wodtke told the Collegian that this new committee is an outgrowth of last year's Facul ty Peace and Politics Forum. "We're sort of reorganizing the group now to accomplish some specific things in our University," Wodtke said. The Committee will meet at noon today in the Hetzel Union Building banquet room. Wodtke urged students and faculty to attend. 'Big Three' Ex "The nuclear age calls for new forms of diplomacy," said Humphrey, the Democratic presidential nominee, "less of ritual, more conducive to frank, in formal contacts. "I propose to make these informal meetings into forums for new diplomacy, free of the publicity, free of the high ex pectations that surround irregular sum mit meetings," he said. The vice president, calling on the So- tending Gettysburg doesn't necessarily mean an inequity." "You have to study income, assets and, family size as well as cost," Reeher said. At another point in the hearing for mer Sen. Paul L. Wagner, R-Schuylkill, chairman of .the scholarship agency's board of directors, said steps were being taken-to uncover fraudulent applications. "We have appointed a special com mittee to review complaints and to spot check awards," Wagner said. "We have now built into our application a perjury statement, malting false statements sub ject to such penalties." - Wagner said a negligible amount of more than 100,000 scholarship grants over the past three years were exposed as fraudulent:. Van Sant also' criticized the placing of an aid program for student nurses under, the scholarship agency. -.Previously, 91 hospitals that operate schools of nursing received subsidies totaling $2OO per student. The 52.5 million appropriation was cut from this. year's budget; and the whole prograni switched to the scholarship agency. • Van Sant said he was 'concerned that only; a small number of the stu ) dent nurses 'received scholarships• after the switch, compared to the 100 per cent that received grants in the past. Need Vote be logical, but they can easily be drawn by people who wish to interpret the figures in this manner." Gerson added. For USG to be effective, it must convince landlords and the administration of the University that it represents the entire student body," and the only way to convince these people is for a large majority of the students to vote in these elections, Gerson said. In many of the areas in which there was thought to be no race, there have been reports of strong write-in cam paigns, Gerson said. Write-Ins May Win "There are write-in cam paigns in every _living area," and in ,Pollock B where. therreis candidate, a write-in is' bound 'to win. But write-ins may defeat announc ed candidates in' other areas, according to Gerson. Gerson said that people who wish to write in a candidate should ask the poll sitters for instructions before entering the voting machines. It i s somewhat more difficult to write in a vote on a machine than on a paper ballot, but it can be done. Gerson also reminded those people voting on paper ballots that they must tear off the number of the ballot and deposit both the number and the ballot in the ballot box. "If this procedure is not followed. the ballot will be void and the vote will not count," Gerson said. Commenting on the entire election, Gerson said this has been a very good campaign. "We have received no com plaints and know of no infrac tions of the USG elections code." ress Views viets to use their influence with North Vietnam "to start negotiating seriously" at Paris, set down six essential points for any Middle East settlement and pledged that, if elected, "I shall be a peace presi dent." Richard M. Nixon, in territory rich in union votes, (Flint, Mich.) urged working men yesterday not to discard their presidential ballots for the "moment's satisfastion" of supporting third party candidate George Wallace. "Do you just want to get something off your chest or do you want to get something done," the Republican nomi nee for the White House asked some 5,000 people at a rally in Flint. He said working men have a long list of grievances with President Johnson and the Democrats, but the way to register them is - by voting Republican, not by casting ballots for Wallace. Nixon was described as believing that Michigan and Ohio are the Northern states in which Wallace has mustered the most support. But he also believes that Wallace support is on the wane. At Humphrey's hometown, M f n-' neapolis, Nixon tackled his Democratic rival on governmental spending, said the vice president envisions $5O billion in new government outlays and isn't through yet. Nixon said he believes federal taxes should be lowered, and government spending should be cut. George C. Wallace drew one -of the largest and noisiest crowds of his third party presidential campaign yesterday as thousands met on historic Boston Com mon in the cold to hear him speak. Police estimates of the crowd ranged from 18,000 to 20,000. Wallace spoke over a din of heckling from several thousand students who packed an area in front of the bandstand where he stood. About 200 persons heard Wallace again declare that "nuclear war is un thinkable" and he called for "superiority and not parity" in this country's military position vs. that of the Communist world. "Our mission," Wallace said, "is peace but peace through strength." Sun Confronted With Grievances By ALLAN YODER Collegian Staff Writer A coordinated effort between Town In dependent Men and the tenants of Shiou-Chuan Sun has produced a list of demands which the tenants insist must be fulfilled before the thought of a rent strike can be completely dismissed. Vincent Franklin (10th-liberal art s- Philadelphia), spokesman for the Committee of Grievances, said the last thing the tenants and TIM Council want is a rent strike, but that if their list of demands is not fulfilled, the strike will be used to help "persuade Dr. Sun." "We're not definite about a rent strike," Franklin said, "because Dr. Sun has been doing everything possible to placate the tenants. He's giving them beds; furniture and other furni shings where they had none before. If repair work needs to be done. he has the tenant take care of it and then he let's the tenant deduct it from his rent. And what he said about the cockroaches is true. We call an exteminator and Dr. Sun pays for it." But, Franklin stressed, Sun has so far done this for just a few of the tenants. "If he doesn't do this extensively. we told him we'd take fur ther action," Franklin said. The demands which the committee and TIM are placing upon Sun are: "--lowering of the rent: S2O per single: $25 per double; $3O per three or four man apart ment. —Repair of furniture in shoddy condition and replacement of such when repair is not possible or too costly. (Applies to furnished apartments only.) —Repair of rooms with holes in walls and floors; repair of exposed wires and faulty elec trical connections including sockets and swit ches; outside doors and closet doors should be repaired or replaced to fit securely and to SDS Supports Rent Strike, Forms Issue Study Groups By - MARC KLEIN Collegian Staff Writer Students for a Democratic Society came out in support of the proposed rent strike of downtown apartments owned by University professor Shiou-Chuan Sun. „Last week a group of Sun's residents formed a grievance committee to protest the alleged high rent and poor 'living conditions. Mike Dutko, a non-member attending last night's SDS meeting, proposed that the poli tical organization endorse the grievance com -mittee's plans • The final approved motion reads, "Due to the inability of the administration to in tervene in downtown affairs, specifically in matters of off-campus housing, SDS supports the rent strike." Censor Inactivity SDS is using the issue to its best politi cal advantage by censoring the Administra tion's inactivity, according to Danny Gallo, a student attending the meeting. "After all, the Administration is our antagonists," Gallo said. In other action, SDS formed study groups where strategy and politics will be discussed. The groups will be composed of students interested in exploring and discussing var ious topics.

"What we want to do is convince Dr. Sun that the last thing we want is a rent strike. That might put him out of business," Franklin said. "We have a meeting with Sun today. We're going to demand that he satisfy our grievances. If he doesn't, we'll go to the tenants," he add ed. "We want to publicize the fact that Dr. Sun is taking care of some of the grievances the tenants have. If he placates a majority of the tenants, we feel there will not be a rent strike because then the tenants will be content with the ways things are.". education, the University's ties with the military, free press, freedom for women in residence halls and student legal rights. Group membership will be voluntary. A SDS member will visit each group and make a progress report at the general meet ing. , At Sunday's Free Speech forum, Jeff Berger announced that the incomplete job of writing a Student Bill of Rights had been turned over to a group unconnected with SDS. ' "We lia.ve one version of it that never got approved," Berger said. SDS originally began its work on the bill of rights at the suggestion of their ad visor, Wells Keddie. Keddie made the pro posal at last Tuesday's SDS meeting. Keddie told the Collegian last week that he got the idea for the document from a recent Students' Bill of Rights written by the American Association of University Pro fessors. Berger said that SDS' aim was "to pre sent this bill of rights to the Walkertown gathering as an idea for discussion." The committee presently working on the bill of rights will be presenting its own view, not the view of SDS, Berger stressed. SDS, he said, will continue to support the specific issues dealt with by the Free Speech Move ment. AWS Grants Women Liberal Visiting Rights By DfANE LEWIS Collegian Staff Writer Women students of second term status and above can now visit men's apartments without the written consent of their parents. The Administrative Committee on Student Affairs, headed by Vice President for Student Affairs Charles L. Lewis. pass ed the proposal eliminating the need for women above first term to have parental permission to visit men's apartments early this week. The proposal was presented to the Committee last spring by the Association of Women Students. In an official letter to AWS, Lewis commended the organization for its research on the proposal. Backing From Cards Gayle Graziano, president of AWS, said they gathered statistics last spring from the parental permission cards fled with the hostesses, finding that "increasingly fewer women were being denied permission, and therefore there was no need for the ruling requesting parents to sign the permission cards." The new ruling goes into effect immediately. Miss Graziano said the Senate Committee indicated that it would send the proposal on to the University Senate Committee on Undergra duate Student-Affairs "with the idea that the AWS proposal be further extended to eliminate all forms of parental permis sion." On similar action in July, the Dean of Women's office ap proved the AWS proposal to do away with off-campus permis sion cards. On these OCP cards, parents checked preferences for their daughter's overnight travel with friends, with family or to other universities. Effective This Term . The elimination of the OCPs went into effect this term, ex cept for first-term women students, who still must have their parents' signature to get off-campus permission. In research for thii proposal, AWS again found no need for the ruling. since few women were denied off-campus permission. "We feel that this (the passing of the two proposals) will necessitate greater - communication between parents and daughters before coming to college rather than putting the responsibility on the college with the parents hundred miles away. It eliminates the misconception that the Univer sity is: enforcing permission given to women students and will place greater emphasis on their upbringing," said Miss Gra ziano.
