Vol. 69, No. 130 Nader Criticizes Enterprises By STEVE SOLOMON and .LAURA WERTHEIMER Collegian Staff Writers Consumer crusader Ralph Nader said last night that self seeking businesses are responsible for the perpetuation of in ferior and dangerous consumer goods. Delivering the keynote speech for Colloquy. Nadar blamed "the hypocrisy of modern corporate enterprise" for discourag ing and sometimes stifling research in certain areas of con sumer protection. "Successful consumer deception is so massive and so suc cessful that the results often are not seen until generations later. We have never bothered to quantify the extent of con sumer deception," he said. `Corporate Socialism' Nader cited one example of deception in which electrical equipment manufacturers were convicted of price fixing under the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. The sentences, six weeks in jail for certain minor executives and a 550,000 fine for the com panies involved, were hardly significant, he said. "Some forms of socialism arc bred and sought by business enterprises—corporate socialism—which enables them to shift the burden of paying damages onto the taxpayer," Nader Says Kaufman 'Lacks Qualifications' Stein Asks Resignation By SANDY BAZONIS Collegian Staff Writer Barry Stein, unsuccessful candidate for t h e Un dergraduate Student Govern ment presidency, has called for the resignation of Jacob J. Kaufman, director of the Of fice for Student Discussion. Stein charged that Kaufman has not met the qualifications set up by labor mediator Theodore H. Kheel, University President Eric A. Walker and the student body. In an open letter, Stein said that Kaufman does not relate "to the problems and questions posed by the blacks, because you are part of and active in the system that has caused these problems." Stein was 'referring to the fact that Kaufman was "white, middle class and a member of the power structure that has made decisions for blacks." Stein questioned research undertaken by the office. He said that the studies made by the office should relate to a better understanding a n d solution of black problems in a framework of social change. Stein cited the office's latest research as dealing with the nature of family planning, "based on the, misconceptions SDS Plans Rally To Protest Alleged Murder at Berkeley Students for a Democratic Society is plan ning two rallies to protest the alleged murder of a demonstrator at the University of Califor nia at Berkeley. The rallies have been set for 2 p.m. today and tomorrow on Old Main lawn. Scott Gibbs and Jon Wineland, co-chairmen of SDS ; last night said that a bystander to a demonstration near Berkeley had been shot by a policeman and that the demonstrator died yesterday morning. Wineland claimed that all national news coverage of the death is being suppressed. He quoted as his source The Berkeley Barb, a nationally known underground newspaper orig inating there; the Black Panther Party center at Berkeley, and contacts with students at the campus or in touch with the campus. 'People's Park' According to Gibbs, recent controversy at Berkeley has been sparked by a park set up in the area by local radicals and hippies. The founders made improvements to the lot and it was established as a "People's Park," Gibbs said. The lot, owned by the University, is located Lunar Astronauts SPACE CENTER, Houston (AP) With the moon pulling them closer and their ar rival only a day away, the Apollo 10 astronauts calmly did homework yesterday ... for their hazardoUs close-view trip "so we'll ,1 be well ahead of the game when we get .;".; there." As the spacecraft neared the point where the influence of earth and moon are equal—some 220,000 miles from the earth and 33,000 miles from the moon—Air Force Col. Thomas P. Stafford radioed to the ground: "We're going to have our own little skull session in here about the lunar operations > l .: for two or three hours so we won't be talk ing to you after this for a couple of hours '1 unless we have " any questions about the ti lunar operations."

't The trip in the lunar module is in pre paration for the July Apollo 11 flight during which a lunar craft will land two astronauts. 'Down the Slot' Apollo 10 was on a perfect course for or-, biting the moon at its equator. "Right down 1 the slot," mission control called it, as a 'I scheduled midcourse correction was cancel ed. • The only tasks for the astronauts—other than their boning up for the 21 days in 6 Pages Colloquy Keynoter Cites Hypocrisy of Moynihan (Daniel P., direc tor of the U.S. Council on Ur ban Affairs) and with a genocidal goal." Book 'lnaccurate' He added that Moynihan, a social scientist, wrote a book on the black family which, according to Stein, was "unbelievably inac c u r a t e." The book centered on' the matriarchal aspect of black family life and "left out the uniqueness of the close relationships with other relatives, as in a white family," he said. Stein charged that Kauf man's past research "showed a lack of understanding social problems that face th e University and the nation as a whole." In his letter, Stein asked Kaufman if he were familiar with Malcolm X and' other black writers and if he were present for the 'Black Arts Festival. "Do you know anything about the people and problems that you are supposed to work with?" Stein asked. Stein told The Daily Col legian that he wants Kaufman to answer the charges and to prove that he can relate to the blacks. about six blocks from the Berkeley campus. Gibbs said the lot has been vacant for years and added that many different segments of the population supported the founding of the park. • According to Gibbs. people gathered at the park were told by a University official they "just can't do this type of thing." He said at one point the people "met with 300 police, and had a running battle with them all afternoon." Gibbs said police began using guns that were supposedly loaded with "just buckshot" but that nurses were pulling .38 caliber bullets from some of the wounded, including the person who allegedly died. Tear gas also was used and in one instance a large cloud of gag hung over the center of campus, he said. Wineland quoted one Berkeley student as saying, "This is the tensest situation I've ever seen here." In a registered letter to the Centre County Board of Realtors, the tenants; who are mostly graduate stu dents. claimed that University Realty has "acted in bad faith, are guilty of unethical behavior and are more concerned with their financial assets than in their professional dealings." The complaints stem from a letter received by the tenants, dated April 11, 1969, stating that effective Sept. 1, 1969, Sutton House will be occuppied mainly by "single male students." The letter further states ,„ that those tenants whose leases terminated between ''',, May 15 and Aug. 31 would not have their leases • renewed. If the tenants' leases had terminated before N . air Moorf .• May 15 and they had given notice for another year, they were offered the option of either continuing for e , '.: another year or canceling the lease. ,:, Confusion According to Gibbs. a leaflet is being pre pared which will "inform people of our solidarity with Berkeley." The leaflet will be distributed today in the Hetzel Union Building and at the rally. Orbit -,.,,,,. ' - - 7'• lunar orbit—were some star sighting experi ments. At the time, the spaceship was 200,000 miles from the earth, gradually slowing, to the 2,032 miles an hour where the moon's pull takes over and starts the craft ac celerating again. Apollo 10 will circle the moon 6 1 / 2 hours. About 11 a.m. tomorrow, Stafford and. Cer nan will crawl through the nose of their ship into the bug-like lunar lander. Some three hours later, after checking out the com plicated systems, they will undock the two `craft. For half an hour the lunar lender will remain in Young's close scrutiny while he looks it over. Then Young briefly fires his small thrusters to move slowly away. And in another hour, Stafford and Cernan begin the greatest adventure to date, firing their large descent engine and begin sweep ing toward man's nearest approach to the moon. The lunar module arcs to the face of the moon and dips to within 50,000 feet—only about 10.000 feet higher than a commercial airliner crossing the United States. They then fire their engine again and soar more than 200 miles above the backside of the moon. During this time, Young keeps them in sight, ready t come to their rescue—an operation that would take a minimum of four hours. Later they jettison the bottom half of the lunar lander, fire an engine to start them back to a reunion with Young late tomorrow. They will have been separated 81 hours Apollo 10's around-the,moon trip has one key goal: finding the target area for the moon landing in July.

According to Nader, the modern business corporations have "no tolerance for free enterprise." "The thrust is to eliminate competition," he said. He spoke of "forced sales, the utter antithesis of a free market situation where these frauds would be exposed and problems, like obsolete engineering, would be weeded out through competition. A major point was the current definition of "violence." Nader contends that most people think of violence in terms of "street violence." But deaths on the highways far exceed the level of street violence in this country. It is in the interests of the corporations, however, that people think of violence, not in terms of auto crashes, air and' water pollution. and dangerous foods and drugs offered on the market, but simply as crimes committed by individdals, he added. Nader attacked the attitude of the U.S. Traffic Safety Commission, which, he said. treats the present technological state of automobiles as unchangeable, and stresses "that peo ple adjust to cars." "I don't believe he can justify his existence (in regard to the office)." Stein said. "He (Kaufman) has shown .an un willingness to take seriously the urgency that the office has:" "We found some unexplained funds in the budget and asked for an appointment with Robert A. Patterson, vice president for finance, but Kaufman canceled the appoint ment," Stein said. "With this this type of action, I can no longer work with Kaufman." Stein and two other students met with Kaufman last week to discuss the status of the black demands. No Good Faith' "Robert E. Dunham. direc tor of the program for the disadvantaged, and James L. Perine, director of the Upward Bound Program and others who have decision-making ability in black demands were not even present," Stein said. Stein said that Kaufman implied that "it does not mat ter to him (Kaufman) whether the office is successful or a failure; it is up to the stu dents." Kaufman shows "no good faith and is only trying to channel student dissent and Bullet Wounds Moves Slowly Away Keeps Them in Sight Published by Students of The Pennsylvania State University University Park, Pa., Wednesday Morning, May 21, 1969 `Forced Sales' disperse it," according to Stein. Kaufman had told Stein that "the students were trying to do things that they could never "Someone should take over the office who has the backing of students, faculty and Ad ministration, and should be a representative from the three groups," Stein said. USG Vigil-Fast Schedule To Include Concert, Faculty Speeches, Learn-In By PAT DYBLIf Collegian Staff Writer Approximately 18 students slept on the Hetzel Union Building terrace Monday night, continuing the two week vigil in protest - of U.S. involve ment in Vietnam. The students slept under a makeshift tent after the second day of protest and fasting which began at 1 p.m. Sunday. A larger sleeping tent was erected yesterday to be used for the remaining days of the vigil. The Undergraduate Student Govern ment on May 8 passed by a vote of 17 to 12 a resolution calling for a two week vigil and fast to be conducted from Sunday through June 1. Tom Zwickl, a member of the USG Steering Committee to Protest the War in Vietnam, and chairman of USG's Administrative Action Com- Sutton House Tenants Issue Complaints By DON NAUSS Collegian Staff Writer Married couples and women living in Sutton House apartments, 518 University Dr., have charged University Realty Corp. with unfair business prac tices. Confusion arose, however, with - the death of Charles E. Woodring, former president of University Realty. The tenants were unsure of the status of their leases, but were asked by the agency to allow it time to rearrange the company. Several of the tenants proceeded to search for new housing with the understanding that when they found it they could terminate their present lease. Several of the, tenants claim that Woodring assured them of this privilege the night before his death because of the in convenience the new rental policy would cause them. Some of the tenants did find new housing: but when they went to the agency, they were not allowed to 7 terminate their leases. f!: A group of the tenants then drafted a letter, sent by ,;• registered mail to University Realty, with the hope of - receiving a response to clear up the confusion. The tenants, however, received no response. Tenant Representatives - The tenants chose four representatives who visited University Realty and talked with Mrs. Anita Coombe, the new president. She assured the representatives she would help them in any way that she could. Because of the change in the rental policy, she offered to forward any request the agency receiv ed for sub-letting. At Mrs. Coombs request, the tenants gave University Realty information concerning the dates .; of their lease terminations and the dates on which the .?.• tenants would like to move in the hope that they could terminate their lease at this time. She indicated › she would give the information to the owners of the :.%; building, who are not known. At a subsequent meeting, the tenants were inforin .. • ed by Mrs. Coombs that the building's owners insisted that the tenants fulfill the agreement of the lease. The owners stated that they would not release }I! the tenants from their lease. The only way they could i. vacate before the termination of their lease would be to sub-let. The tenants face a number of problems if they want to sublet. Many of the apartments are un furnished and tenants have received no guarantee from University Realty that they would be furnished. He explained the rationale of the people who hold highway accidents to be totally the result of "human imperfections" in this way. "Since drivers animate cars, crashes must be due to driver error," he said. The same argument might be made in reverse; cars might be designed to compensate for human failings, Nader added. "Which can society more readily attain." he asked, "a more perfect man or a more perfect machine?" "Most rainy -weather accidents are caused by a locking brake system. Now, locking brake systems could be prevented by teaching drivers how to avoid the situation and hoping they remember, or by building into a car a system that would pre vent you from locking the brakes even if you passionately desired to." Nader said that 20 years from now. we will realize that nur friends and relatives had been killed in collisions at 20 and 30 miles per hour. when the technological knowhow to prevent such accidents was within our reach. He claimed that the scarcity of research on the subject of auto safety was a pro found indictment of this society's priority of values. Food Industry Nader also spoke about injustices in the food industry, where manufacturers have the power to suppress legislation which they deem to be against their interests. One example he cited was the increasing increment of fat content in processed meat. Recent medical studies have shown that the percentage of fat in a person's diet is related to heart disease. A bill to limit the amount of fat in such meats as hot dogs, sausages and luncheon *meats was done away with by the big meat company interests. Another bill, which required processers to put the fat con tent on the label of their products, was withdrawn under pressure from the packing industry. College Unrest Referring to current unrest on college campuses. Nader said students might be forgiven for stretching their rights un der the First Amendment. "The students today are confronted with an illegal society where law is manipulated, subverted, emasculated and ignored," he said. "Students are facing the power structure with no tools or leverage which they can employ." Nader said the current challenge to university structure is as "relevant" as the larger challenge to social problems such as race, war and poverty. He said that by changing the struc ture and its ties with industry and defense, the universities could more readily address themselves to social problems. "Students must challenge the universities and their theories and aspirations dealing with the outside society," he said. mission, yesterday announced ac tivities scheduled for today and tomor row to be held in conjunction with the vigil on the HUB terrace. Folklore Society Concert The Folklore Society will present a concert from 1 to 5 p.m. today. Several faculty members also are scheduled to speak this afternoon. The Odyssey, an acid folk-rock group, will appear at 9:30 tonight. A light show also will be presented. Faculty members John Withal). head of the Department of Secondary Education, and Kenneth Wodtke, associate professor of education, will speak tomorrow morning. A learn-in will be held at 2 p.m. tomorrow with Dale Winter, religious affairs associate, as keynote speaker. The learn-in will be broken un into four groups to discuss different aspects of the war in Vietnam. Group leaders will be Chris Accuse Realtors of 'Unfair Business' Also, many leases terminate in the middle of the summer, making it difficult to sub-lease. Although Mrs. Coombs offered to help the tenants in sub-letting their apartments, the tenants claim that most of the inquiry letters she has given them are out of date or for periods of time that they can not use. The tenants have also learned that the rent will in crease next year by as much as 50 per cent for most, of the apartments. There is no proposed extension of services or facilities to accompany the large increase in rent. The letter to the Board of Realtors concluded, "We realize that we have no legal recourse in (his matter:* and that those of us who have found other housing are faced with the prospect of paying double rents (which we cannot, by any means, afford) until Sept. 1, 1969; others will be forced to live in dwellings far beyond their means." In interviews with the tenants, they all expressed disgust with the manner in which University Realty has handled the situation. Pat Dunne (9th anthropology-State College) said, "University Realty has been extremely unhelpful." Tenant Complaints Many of the tenants also complained of having no one to take their complaints to. They have been unable to discover who the owners of the building are and the agency has claimed it is not responsible for the matter, according to William Burrell, one of the tenant representatives. "We are resigned to the fact that we will have to Walker Meets With YAF Offers Recommendations The Student Affairs Committee of the Young Americans for Freedom met with University Presi dent Eric A. Walker and his assistant Richard E. Grubb yesterday to discuss YAF's proposals for University reform. "Our main purpose was to discuss our proposals and get their recommendations," Committee Chair man Rich Prokopovich said. "We had made an ap pointment with Mr. Grubb and hoped that Walker would be able to talk with us as well. We were very pleased when he (Walker) dropped in and discussed our suggestions with us and said that the proposals were not impossible." YAF's proposals include: —periodic evaluation of the quality of education at Penn State by committees formed in each college consisting of one-half faculty and one-half students: —increased black enrollment through intensified recruitment, improved counseling and more readily available financial aid: —later hours for Pattee and the Hetzel Union Building: —determination of visitation rules by the inhabi tants of the individual living areas: —granting of equal rights to women with regard to off campus living; att Bellavita. army veteran: William J. Duiker 111. associate professor of history; Alphonso Lingis, associate professor of philosophy, and Don Ranck, conscientious objector. Bob Lachman,. chairman of the Steering Committee to Protest the War in Vietnam. and USG town con gressman, announced that the vigil will "welcome anyone else who would like to speak." 'Free University' Lachman explained to The Daily Collegian yesterday the meaning of the "Free University for Peace and Understanding" slogan which is posted on a bulletin board near the entrance to the HUB Lion's Den. The slogan states, "All that is necessary for a 'school' is a sincere desire to learn by individuals willing to make the commitment." "To be a 'success' you have to make decisions," Lachman said.

In an interview last week, Mrs. Coombs said University Realty "has clone everything they could to help the tenants of Sutton House." She stressed that the agency serves over 800 students and always is concerned with their problems and complaints. "University Realty does not have the final responsibility in this matter—the owners of the build ing do. We only have the function of collecting rents. making leases, and dispersing the money to the owners. "We have the responsibility of carrying out the or ders of the owners. The owners felt that it would be beneficial to them financially to make Sutton House predominately male. There also will be an increase in maintenance costs, which accounts in part for the in crease in rent," she said. When asked who the owners were, she declined, stating that it is not public information. Frank E. Bench, a member of the Centre County Board of Realtors, is reviewing the case. "Everything that University Realty has done has been legal. The problem has now become a moral one," he said. "The Board of Realtors themselves cannot force the agency to do anything but can only pass judg ment on their actions as to their legality and morality," he said. —abolition of University control over off-campus residence, such as fraternities: —revision of University Senate Rule W-12 so that students over 21 legally can consume alcoholic beverages in the residence halls: —protection of individual student rights during demonstrations, and guidelines to insure peaceful demonstrations. "We began discussing the evaluation of the quality of education which they (Walker and Grubb) agreed with," Prokopovich said. "They suggested that teacher evaluations also should be made. "On the question of black enrollment, they told us that admission criteria is left up to the individual col leges whose basic standard for admission is whether they think the person could graduate," Prokopovich continued. He added that Walker and Grubb conceded that class standing and scholastic aptitude test scores "are not the best method in the world for admission but they'll probably will be used until a better method is found." On the question of revision of Rule W-12, Pro kopovich said that Walker had not been confronted with the question before but that it was a legal mat ter that should be discussed with a lawyer. The YAF committee met with Jacob J. Kaufman, director of the Office for Student Discussions, last week and have made an appointment to discuss their proposals with Vice President for Student Affairs Charles L. Lewis on Friday. University Needs To Get Involved --see page 2 Seven Cents —Collegian Miele by Pierre solltani University doesn't require that you make these decisions because they structure their curriculum. A free university could be a tool to show pro fessors that people could care less about lectures. Lachman said the purpose of "free university" is "to do whatever yo,u want to do." He explained that stu dents could post notes on the bulletin board regarding topics which they wish to learn about or teach. "People aren't used to being asked what they want to learn or teach." Lachman said. He added that students must first set up criteria for things they wish to learn and "then go about learning it." Integration of Knowledge Lachman said, "What bugs me is that the University expects you to make a decision about your major when they won't let you decide what you want to take for a 10-week term."
