Japanese Hijacking Continues in Korea
_ _
SEOUL, Korea The slow-motion hijacking of a Japanese
jetliner ticked past its 40th hour today with 115 weary persons
cooped up in the plane's stuffy cabin.'
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. Caßey Jr., who is
charged with murder or assault in the incident.
The Army said in an announcement at nearby Ft.
McPherson, where My Lai investigations are being con
solidated, that Medina "was responsible for the alleged mur
der of Vietnamese noncombatant persons allegedly committed
by members of his company..."
A spokesman said that under. Article 118 of the Uniform
Code of Military Justice. Medina was charged with murder as
a principal and did not have to be present during the slayings
to be held responsible.
.The State
Legislators Propose Lighter Drug Penalties
HARRISBURG Legislators proposed yesterday easing
penalties for smoking marihuana and forming a drug and
alcoholism unit with 59.6 million from liquor sales.
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. The bills will
go to the House Health and Welfare Committee, where fast
approval is expected, Berkes said.
A first offense of using marihuana would be a
misdemeanor, while continued use would remain a felony, un
der the committee proposal.

Thompson Accused of Stain
Elections for Politic + I Reasons
By LARRY REIBSTEIN
Collegian Staff Writer
Jim Antoniono, declared candidate for the
Undergraduate Student Government presiden
cy, last night accused USG President Ted
Thompson of attempting to "stall" the ex
ecutive elections.
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.

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

"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

has not registered.

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.

Itzkowitz denounced the order, calling it
"illegal, unconstitutional and against the first

Thompson said that Antoniono and his sup
porters could "do anything they want" but that
he would "stick to his position until overruled."

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.

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

"the number is not that great." Pelton con

how many unsuccessful attempts take place."
Sgt. Jan Hoffmaster, chief investigator for
the State police, said Clark was believed to

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
