News From the World, Nation
Paris Peace Talks Open Today
PARIS The United States, South Vietnam, North
Vietnam and the Viet Cong National Liberation Front begin
today their four-way exploration of the road to peace.
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.

He approached Mrs. Helen P. Evans,
chairman of the committee.
"I had requests from several mem
bers of the press, but I didn't think
there was room—and part of it was
the fact that it's a small room." John
son started to explain. But the com
mittee members interrupted him, say
ing "This should have been considered
before."
"If the Collegian has the right to
be here:' he started again. "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. Aft3r con
ferring with the committee members,
she answered Johnson by walking
through the double doors that lead to
the corridor outside. ,
Meanwhile, Norman Johnson, pro

specifications set up by central MRC before
he announced his approval," MRC President
Gene Cavallucci said.
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." Cavallucci said.

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. Haden 'laid

or primitive," by the whites.
