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.

Student Disruption May Stir Backlash
DENVER, Colo. A leading American educator yes
terday forecast the possibility of a campus reaction across
the country against student activists who disrupt college
and university functions.
Otis A. Singletary, executive vice chancellor for aca
demic affairs at the University of Texas, said in an inter
view that heretofore silent students in the moderate center
who feel their rights to an education are being denied in
the confrontation between activists and administrators may
insist on being heard.
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."

'Justice With Order' Organization Formed
PHILADELPHIA The president of the National
Industrial Conference Board, NICB, disclosed yesterday
plans for a nationwide program aimed at organizing 10 mil
lion Americans to work for "justice with order."
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?"
Palmer said he looked into the problem and found that
despite the vast amounts of research in this area, virtually
nothing had been done to translate the findings into effec
tive information programs.

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 „ -

the addition of more black stu

University's military ties, stu

the connections between the
University and the community
and government suppression of
University freedom.
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.

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

according to Gerson.
Gerson said that people who
wish to write in a candidate
should ask the poll sitters for
instructions before entering the

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

deposit both the number and
the ballot in the ballot box. "If

said.

Richard M. Nixon, in territory rich in

"Do you just want to get something

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

most support. But he also believes that
Wallace support is on the wane.
At Humphrey's hometown, M f n-'

About 200 persons heard Wallace

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

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.
The groups formed will discuss general

tenance of the apartment to keep it in the same

"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.

ed.
"We want to publicize the fact that Dr. Sun is

tenants have. If he placates a majority of the

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.
