Ray Denied New Trial
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP)
James Earl Ray was denied a
new trial yesterday in the
assassination of the Rev. Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Judge Arthur C. Faquin Jr.
ruled that Ray's March 10 guil
ty plea to the slaying closed
the door on another trial, an
appeal or any other type of
post conviction action by the
defense.
In addition, Faquin held, Ray
ha d .signed voluntarily a
waiver of these rights and had
stated in open court he did so
with full understanding and at
his own free will.
Attorney Notes Exception
J. B. Stoner of Savannah,
Ga., one of Ray's three at
torneys, noted an exception to
the decision. Later, he told
newsmen that "some moves"
would be made by the defense
team, but he said just what
Senate
Officers,
By STEVE SOLOMON
Collegian Staff Writer
The University Senate will announce its
new officers for 1969-70 at its monthly meeting
on June 3.
A Senate committee also will propose that
disadvantaged students be included in future
entering classes at Penn State. at least in pro
portion to their representation in the Com
monwealth.
-- Robert J. Scannell, chairman of the Senate,
said last night that election ballots will not be
counted until next Monday night, the eve of
the Senate meeting. The election will close,
however, at noon Monday.
To Present Guidelines
. The Senate Committee on Academic, Ad
mission and Atheltic Standards will present two
policy guidelines regarding University
education for minority and poor youth:
—that any groups considered to be included
in the general definition of disadvantaged stu
dents be included in the entering classes at
IPenn State "at least to the extent that those
groups are represented in the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania."
,; Disadvantaged students have been defined
by the committee as "those whose educational,
social, or economic status, for reasons largely
beyond their control, denies thein full op
portunity for development in the society." The
'relevant groups in this state have been
,primarily considered to be two somewhat
overlapping groups: black people and poor peo
ple.
The rationale behind this proposal is that
Ithe University has a responsibility to
. these
groups of students to provide them with "the
more equitable opportunity for development
. that accrues from higher education."
—that these groups be admitted to cam
puses throughout the University system.
The rationale behind the point is that the
presence of disadvantaged groups serve as a
valuable informal education in background dif
ferences for the entire student body.
The committee also will recommend the

moves would be made—and
when— had not been decided.
Further appeals by Ray
could be based upon virtually
any step in the prosecution of
judging of the case thus far, a
legal expert said.
Karl Warden, Vanderbilt
University professor of
criminal law, said the ultimate
route for any appeal probably
would be a petition for a writ
of habeas corpus, in which a
verdict is set aside and the
whole case is started over.
Ray Fidgets
As the judge read the
lengthy opinion Ray, clad in a
brown-checked sports coat,
olive pants and yellow tic,
fidgeted in his chair directly
behind his lawyers. He alter
natively crossed and uncrossed
his legs and at times leaned his
head on his hands.

establishment of a central office to coordinate
the entire admissions program.
The Senate Committee on Committees and
Rules will recommend the establishment of a
Board of Student Affairs to consider,and formu
late policy affecting student life.
The formal proposal would be made by the
Undergraduate Student Government, the Grad
uate Student Association and the Organization
of Student Government Associations in con
junction with two Senate committees. The
board would be composed predominantly of
students, with some representation from the
faculty and Administration.
The Senate ad hoc Committee on The Daily
Collegian will report its findings and recom
mendations concerning the relationship bet
ween the Collegian and Collegian, Inc., its
publisher, and the University community.
The Senate Committee on Faculty Affairs
will present an informational report on faculty
participation in decision-making, within the
University. The committee will express the
hope that more democratic procedures be
followed and that all colleges develop faculty
participation procedures in policy formation.
The Senate Committee on Undergraduate
Affairs will recommend a rule governing
visitation in dormitories. Guests of the opposite
sex will be permitted in residence hall rooms
during specified • weekend hours, with
regulations formulated by individual residence
halls.
The Senate will consider a recommendation
for a switch to a two-semester plus Summer
Term calendar. The proposal, tabled at the last
Senate meeting, would establish fall and spring
semesters of 15-week duration, with a Summer
Term of 10 weeks. If passed. the calendar
would become effective at the beginning of
Summer Term 1971.
The Ad Hoc Senate Committee on the
Modern Land-Grant University will also
present a modern interpretation of the
academic responsibilities of a land-grant unive
rsity, particularly Penn State. The report will
include an appraisal of the current setting in
which the University operates and a con
sideration of future affairs concerning it.
To the Members "of the
Penn State Investment Club
Owing to poor scheduling
on my part, I failed to ap
pear before your group last
Thursday night. During the
past eight years, I have
taught a finance course in
Business College, spoken be
fore student groups, met
with individual students, al
ways encouraging an active
interest in the field of busi
ness and finance. I regret
the inconvenience and .dis
appointment that mig h t
have accompanied this "no

all, I hope that none of the
members of the Penn State

terpret my absence last
Thursday evening as a lack

dered that Ray be returned to
his maximum-security cell in
the state penitentiary a t
Nashville to "continue serving
his 99-year term. Sherif f
William N. Morris said later
that any time the state wanted
Ray back, "It can come for
him."
The hearing before Faquin,
who succeeds the late Judge
W. Preston Battle in the case,
was devoted to lengthy legal
citations and arguments on
fine legal points. Ray at times
seemed disinterested and gaz
ed around the council table.
He did not take the stand.
Trial Motion Revised
At the outset, the defense
struck from its new trial
motion allegations that Ray
had been denied effective
counsel when he pleaded guilty
and that there had been con
flict of interest.

fight it on the left, I'll fight it wherever I find it."
Capp's performance, especially his handling of students'
questions, alienated many in the audience. At one point, a stu
dent tried to refute Capp's statements about McNamara by
pointing out that McNamara had denied millions of young men
their right to live their own lives. Capp remarked. "Your
parents didn't spank you enough as a child."
The remark caused considerable booing, and James Ham
merlee, a guest panelist from Bucknell University. got up to
shout a comment. Capp insisted he go to the mike and refused
to listen to him when he cut in ahead of five people in line.
