The radical Japanese student hijackers who number about 15 haggled with government officials over the terms of the Boeing 727's flying to North Korea—with the fate of the passengers at issue in the proposals and counter proposals. Two Americans were on the plane. After the North Korean government said it would allow the plane to land at Pyongyang, a spokesman for the students demanded that it fly there at 6 a.m. today. South Korean authorities countered with an offer to allow the Japan Air Lines plane to depart at 11 a.m. today 10 p.m., EST last night—if the passengers were freed between 7 and 8 a.m. U.S. General Killed by Sniper in Vietnam SAIGON A U.S. general. was shot and killed yesterday in a new outbreak of fighting after the enemy shelled more than 100 military bases and towns overnight in the heaviest at tacks since last August. Brig. Gen. William R. Bond was killed by a sniper's bullet about 70 miles northeast of Saigon. He was the first U.S. general killed in ground fighting. Four others have died in air craft crashes. The commander of the I99th•Light Infantry Brigade, a decorated veteran, had just stepped out of a command helicOpter to inspect a patrol when he was hit in the chest. Bond, 51, was from 'Portland, Maine. U.S. and government military spokesmen refused to speculate on the significance of the nationwide attacks. They said it was still too early to determine whether the attacks marked the beginning of an offensive. Intelligence analysts doubted the level of fighting could be sustained more than a few days. The Nation Air Traffic Controllers Continue Sick-In WASHINGTON Air traffic controllers remained off the job in large numbers yesterday and officials had little hope for a quick end to the dispute that has restricted air traffic across the country for more than a week. The government said some controllers returned to work following a call Tuesday by their union leaders to end the sickcall action, but not enough to make any noticeable dif ference. Fewer planes--both military and commercial—were flying. Delays from a few minutes to two hours were reported in the Northeast, the area hardest hit by the walkout of the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization. TWA and American Airlines both reported 30 per cent of their nation wide flights canceled. United canceled 16 per cent. Some improvement was reported. In Philadelphia, two airlines said business was better than Tuesday. WASHINGTON Spreading Teamsters Union strikes crippled or slowed trucking in at least 22 cities yesterday but industry negotiators went back to national wage talks pledging they would not retaliate with a nationwide lockout. "The industry intends at this moment to take no retaliatory action," said Trucking Employers Inc., the management group that three years ago closed down virtually the entire nation's trucking industry in response to scattered strikes before a settlement was finally reached. However, it appeared most of the 425.000. truck deliveries covered by the national wage talks are remaining on the job. Their contract expired Tuesday midnight with a gap of at least 80 cents an hour over three years between Teamsters' wage demands and industry offers. Most drivers now average 84 an hour. * * * Postal Strike Agreement Talks Continue WASHINGTON Postal negotiations edged a little nearer agreement yesterday when the administration made a revised offer to counter proposals submitted earlier by the unions. At the end of the sixth day of bargaining, official spokesmen for the government and the unions said the fresh proposals would be reported Thursday morning to President George Meany of the AFL-CIO. Union representatives are due to return in the afternoon for a further session with Postmaster General Winton Blount and the government bargaining team. The spokesmen said that after a preliminary meeting at AFL-CIO headquarters, the union representatives and Meany would be joined in their discussions by Asst. Secretary of Labor, W. J. Usery. Although both sides remained tightlipped about details, aides of both government and the unions saw significance in the Thursday meeting with Meany. New Charges Filed in My Lai Investigation ATLANTA, Ga. The Army filed new charges against Capt. Ernest L Medina yesterday accusing him of responsibility for the death of all civilians allegedly massacred by his company at My Lai in 1968. Medina. 32, of Pico Rivera, Calif., was commander of Company C during the raid on the Vietnamese village. One of his platoon leaders was Lt. William L.

The recommendations came in a report by Rep. Milton Berkes, D-BuckS, chairman of a special House committee on narcotics formed more than one year ago. Bills to implement the committee's program will be in troduced in the House April 13 when the General Assembly returns from a three week break, Berkes said.

Antoniono also said Thompson's move to delay elections for a week "lowers the prestige of USG not only in the eyes of the students but in front of the faculty and Administration." Thompson vetoed a bill passed by Congress on'Tuesday that calls for the election of USG president, vice president and treasurer to be held during the third week of Spring Term. Thompson said that, because the elections commissioner was appointed at the beginning of this week, "It is impossible to conduct any kind of fair and equitable election if the elec tions commission is compelled to operate within the two and a half weeks left." Antoniono, disagreeing with Thompson, said, however. "I'm not familiar with the run ning of elections. but when two former elec tions commissioners say that they could he held by the third week, then I would think there is no doubt left." Two former elections commissioners, Saul Solomon and Mike Andrews, verified that the elections could be run efficiently in the remaining time.

"Thompson is doing everything in his power to pull this thing (the delay) through," Itzkowitz said. In reply, Thompson said the question of whether elections could be held ,in the third week was of an "academic" nature and in his opinion the elections couldn't be run by then. "The voting machines have to be set up by Monday of the third week," Thompson said. "All 40 of them. have to be re-programmed and only one person can do this now.

Weiss criticized members on the University Board o f Trustees. includinc , University President Eric A. Walker and Trustees Willard F. Rockwell and H.

Man By DENISE' BOWMAN Collegian Staff Writer A 21-year-old University coed was attacked Tuesday night in the parking lot of the Bluebell Apartments; the State College police said yesterday. The attack occurred at 11:45 p:m. when a male, described as being 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall and wearing a ski mask, entered the coed's car as she waited for the defroster to clear up her windshield, Cpl. Richard Stuller of the State College police said. The victim claimed the attacker had a weapon in his left hand, Stuller said, but she received no injury. Her screams frighteneed the assailant away, he said. More Information Police also released more information on last Saturday's stabbing of a State College woman. According to Stuller, the attacker should have scratches about the face, hands and lower part of the anatomy. "This would indicate that he was uncovered somewhat," .Stuller said. He also confirmed that the assailant has a speech defect. The State College woman, 23, not a University student, was attacked from behind in Calder Alley as she was returning home at about 2:48 a.m. The attacker cut the woman three k times with a knife as she attempted to escape. Her screams brought four University students to her aid, but the assailant escaped. Based on the descriptions submitted by the students and the young woman, the attacker was described as a white male, 5 applications, Free U selected 16 to teach, including a pro fessor and an associate pro fessor. "The classroom environment has stifled student par ticipation and creativity", the spokesman said. "Large lec ture classes have alientated many students from professors and students from students. The education is competitive rather than co-operative and so the student often finds himself working for the grade rather than the education. The Free University is aimed at the change of this discipline oriented education toward a more social-oriented education." Registration began at the Free U desk in the Hetzel Union Building this term and over 200 have already schedul ed a course. Behrend added that many have registered for two or more classes. Registration for courses will be open until next week. Courses begin next week and will meet at the convenience of the class after the initial meeting. Anyone may attend a Free U class without regis tering, although Behrend sug gested that the course instruc tor be contacted if the student has not registered. Courses offered this term include "Environment an d Pollution: Radical "Housing and Legal Affairs Education," and others. A complete list of courses, instructors awl organizational meeting dates are available at the Free U table in the HUB.

Suicide Victim Found The body of a University graduate student was discovered yesterday in the orchards behind Beaver Stadium. , Two University employets discovered the body of Richard B. Clark (gra du a te biochemistry-State College) around neon yesterday, a spokesman for the State Police at Rockview told The Daily Collegian last night. Clark was pronounced dead,by Centre County Coroner W. Robert Neff. Neff attributed the cause of death to suicide, based on notes found on the body and in Clark's State College apart ment. Time of death was fixed around 8 a.m.. The cornoner's office is testing for the presence of potassium cyanide, a lethal poison, in the bloodstream of the victim. A plastic squeeze-bottle labeled potassium cyanide was discovered near the‘body. Clark's death was the eighth successful suicide committed by a University student. The most recent was the death of Robert Drutman, a senior honor student, in 1967. Drutman died in Ritenour Health Center after . taking an, over dose of sleeping pills. In 1966 and '67, two students shot themselVes order, he would "exercise the authority of his office and not allow him to run."

Coed Followed ' Another University coed was followed Tuesday night as she returned from work to her home, police said. "Though no real approach occurred. the male followed her from a bar to the Beaver Terrace Apartment building," Sgt. Clifford Yorks of the State College police said. The man disappeared when she entered the elevator in her apartment building. The coed described the male as about 5 feet 8 inches tall with curly brown hair and wearing a dark hat and red jacket. She said the man told her he had just left the Phyrst, a local bar. State Police are currently investigating the possibility of a connection between the March 28 stabbing and the Oct. 31 rape of a University coed. "There is a very good possibility of a connection between this and the Oct. 31 rape case," Yorks said earlier this week. The descriptions of both assailants are very similar, and both had a speech defect. Asks Information Stuller asked that anyone with information on any of the re cent assaults contact State College police at 237-1411. "All in formation will be kept strictly confidential," Stuller said. He also disclosed that police have received several calls on the recent assault cases and that public cooperation has been "ex ; cellent, so far." Two State Policemen are assisting the State College police in the investigation of last Saturday's attack. Lt. William Kim mel, of the Rockview substation of the State Police, said earlier this week that police "are working on the assumption that there might be a parallel between this case and the mur der investigation." No new information has been released on the progress of the investigation of the murder of University graduate student Betsy R. Aardsma in Pattee on Nov. 28. Miss Aardsma's body was discovered in the second floor core area of the stacks in late afternoon Nov. 28. Restaurant To Stage Burger Eating Contest in two separate incidents. In the fall of 1962, a coed plunged to her death from the roof of her residence. hall in East Halls. Later the same term, a male student died as a result of a jump from the eighth floor of a Pollock residence hall. In 1963, two male students killed themselves-=one by shooting and the other by hanging. - Col. William C. Pelton, director of Campus Security, said last term that, while the Campus Patrol •had no information on recent suicides, "the number is not that great." Pelton con tinued. "Of course we have no way of knowing how many unsuccessful attempts take place." Sgt. Jan Hoffmaster, chief investigator for the State police, said Clark was believed to have entered the orchard area in the early morning, based on the single set of footprints• .discovered in the snow leading to. the - area where the body was found. Clark received his bachelor of science degree in science at the University in 1965 and entered the University graduate school later the same year. At the time of death, Clark was working on his doctorate in biochemistry at the University.—Dß Here Comes the Fun --see page 2 Seven Cents
