None of the four has any illusions about the formidable obstacles ahead. There were expressions of optimism but these were carefully guarded and qualified, and all four principals obviou.s:y were prepared for a siege which could last for months. On the eve of the historic first session on matters of substance,. expressions of hope in some cases were tinged with misgivings. At 10:30 a.m. (4:30 a.m. EST) the talks will get under way, probably with tong, wide-ranging policy statements from each of the four participants. Each side has taken elaborate precautions to portray the conference in its own way: the NLF and Hanoi as a four-sided meeting suggesting equality for the front: the Americans and the South Vietnamese as a two-sided affair. suggesting that the front is simply the creature of Hanoi. --- * * * Three Killed in Dacca Student Riots DACCA A student-led general strike in protest of the police shooting of a colleague erupted into rioting by Pakistani students and others opposing the government of President Mohammed Ayub Khan.

"I will be glad to hold the meeting for you." He offered to call other newspapers and radio stations. "That's not what anybody said to us," Mrs. Evans countered.

MRC has been trying to set up a Visitation program for the past four years. Last term, when its Visitation Bill was delayed in the University Senate, MRC drew up the Extended Open-House Policy and sent it to Lewis for approval. The new policy, however. is not to be confused with the Visitation Bill, "Under Visitation, men may have women in their rooms at any time corresponding with vomen's hours. The Open-House Policy has limitations." Cavallucci said. The Visitation Bill still is in the Senate. "The Extended Open-House Policy is only a temporary arrangement until the Senate decides to do something. They will be watching to see how this works out."

You can not talk down to black people." Mrs. Evans said "We weren't ex pecting them to be so far away from reality as to try to tell us what we can do." "The next move is for them to come to Pittsburgh and then we'll call the shots just like they did for us to day," she continued. But then she added, "We'll meet him on grounds where the ground rules will be set by both sides. We are just hoping he's going to get pressures." Airs. Evans explained that she was referring to political sources in Harris burg, contacted by the Douglass Asso ciation on Wednesday. "This University needs a new presi dent and an entire new administrative body. It needs a lot of resignations at the top," Haden said. "These people are stabbing not only the black man in the back, but America in the hack here," he said. Donn Bailey, instructor of speech Haden Lashes Whites By PAUL LEVINE Collegian Editor The civil rights leader who led the walkout of Old Main yesterday later assailed the University, it s administrators and white society in general in a talk at the Hetzel Union Building. Bouie Haden. of Pittsburgh's Community Action Committee, said he did not want to "thicken hate," but he wants to tell students "who you are, end how you got here." The outspoken critic of white America said he did not come to Penn State to add "additional hate to the burden the black students carry." Alternating between soft tones and emphatic shouts accompanied by clenched fists. Haden criticized University President Eric A. Walker. ."How come a school silting in Pennsylvania treats black people much worse than the University of Alabama?" k.liadeh.“asked.- "You --might find it amazing,- but-maybe , not if you're acquainted with the president of this institution." 'Lazy, Immoral' Haden lashed out at white society for allegedly portraying blacks as lazy and immoral. It is the white man who created the black stereotypes, he said, who told the blacks they "don't eat properly or dress properly." Haden also criticized the blacks who believed the white man, but saved his sharpest attacks for the whites, whom, he said, "raped'" black society. "One hundred years ago, when a black child was born, he was listed as 'father unknown,' " Haden said. "You (the whites) did not allow him to have a lather. What lower motherfucker exists than the white man? When my white daddy went down into the ditch and raped my black mother, where was law and order then?" Blamed While Man Haden blamed the white man for making the black people the "most talked about, the most feared people on earth, and for no sane reason." He discounted the theory that the black man should have risen through American society along the line of other ethnic groups. "The Irish, Jews and Italians all came here to fight their way up through society." Haden said. "The black man did not come here to fight his way up to the richness America was supposedly offering." 'Climbed Ladder' The other ethnic groups "climbed up the ladder" because they organized he said. Labor unions helped them gain Influence. but the blacks were excluded, Haden ■aid. The blacks can advance, too, "if w•e cut every goddamn throat we see," Haden shouted. He called America a "cold-blooded society." The dollar sign is the white man's god, he said. White men destroyed the black' religion.
