Vietnam Victory March
Set for D.C. Tomorrow
WASHINGTON (AP) The leader of a March for Victory
predicted yesterday that up to 100,000 persons would parade
here tomorrow in "an answer to the hippies" and a challenge
to the President to win the Vietnam war.
Carl Mclntire, Collingwood, N.J., a fundamentalist radio
preacher who is chairman of the march committee, said it is a
Christians' and patriots' march.
The parade will take the same route—from the foot of the
Capitol, along Pennsylvania Avenue and to the Washington
Monument—that some 50,000 anti-war demonstrators took last
Nov. 15.
"We are challenging the moratorium march and the entire
hippie concept of immediate and total withdrawal, and that is
surrender," Mclntire said.
He added: "This march is a reaction to the failure of the
President to do what everybody thought he was going to
do—end the war according to a plan."
Sponsors of the march said they have 1,000 marshal's of
their own, and the police have been cooperative in making
plans.
"We have had no evidence that anyone is going to bother
us," Mclntire said.
The march is scheduled for 12 p.m.. to be followed by a rally
from , 2 to 5 p.m. at the Washington Monument.
Tonight, sponsors plan a prayer meeting on the sidewalk in
front of the National Cathedral. They said Cathedral
authorities had denied them use of the building itself:
AWS Urges Approval
Of RHA Constitution
The Association of Women Students Wednesday passed a
resolution recommending that the AWS Council Board approve
the Association of Residence,Hall Students' constitution.
AWS urged the council to approve the constitution at its first
meeting and "act to attain representatives of both sexes on
the ARHS Council through the loCal areas."
If the constitution is adopted, the AWS Senate will continue
'to cperate on a central basis. The residence hall presidents
who sit on the Council Board will be the delegates to the
Residence ' Hall Associations in their areas. Two represen
tatitiei then will be elected to 'serve on ARHS, the central
governing body.
AWS President Lynn Mack announced that applications for
the AWS Summer Executive Board will be available
Wednesday at the Hetzel Union Building Desk.
The president will serve as co-chairman of RHA for the
Summer Term, and the communications chairman will act as
a secretary to keep the regular AWS Executive Board inform
ed of the summer executives' activities. Other offices will
include treasurer' add public relationg chairman.

Harrisburg have the final

The planned budget has been
sent to the Office of Ad
ministration of the Governor
for consideration. Details will

Problems with state ap

programs for disadvantaged
students. Five hundred disad

uphold its committment.
Money for aiding un
derprivileged sLidents pro
bably will come from sources
outside the University, possibly
in the form of state or federal
loans. Johnson said. Th e
University has applied for a
' . ,l* \EI4O:g (f,o4r.gi

that the requested amount pro
bably would not materialize
because of insufficient funds in
Washington.
Spec i a,l Educational Op

the Martin Luther King Fund
are University funds which will
aid disadvantaged students
next year. Because both
organizations have on 1 y
recently been established, their
finances are limited, according
to Johnson. The King Fund will
offer about $l. 0 0 0 in
scholarships. No figures on
grants were released by SEOS.
Another future. source_ of
financial aid for the disad
vantaged is the Renaissance
Fund, established by the Board
of Trustees. T h e Ad

Fund at present due to a lack
of money in the Fund's
treasury.
Sub'ect: Environmental
Earth Day
By DOUG STRUCK
Collegian Staff Writer
A four-day information-education pro
gram on environmental pollution ending in a
nationally observed Earth Day will be held
April 17, 18, 19 and 22.
"The community must face up to the
problems and understand exactly what their
materialistic way of life is doing to their
environment," Ed Beckwith (10th-science-
Pompton Lakes, N.J.), coordinator of the
Earth Day activities, said.
Education is the main goal of the pro
gram, Beckwith added. "We hope that by
educating the community we can re-evalu
ate our priorities and begin to respect our
environment."
Saylor Keynote Speaker

17, with the keynote address by U.S. Con
gressman John P. Saylor, R-Johnstown, in

USG Overrides Veto;
`:,..etsVotiligfor3rd'''',......-'''''',i'eek
By LARRY REIBSITEIN and KAREN CARNABUCCI
Collegian Stdff Writers
The Undergraduate Student Government Con
gress last night overwhelmingly voted to hold ex
ecutive elections during the third week of the term,
thus dashing any hopes of a voting delay.
In a 24-1 vote, Congress overrode USG President
Ted Thompson's veto of a bill that stated elections
must be held during the third week. Thompson had
vetoed the bill which Congress had passed, 21-9,
asserting that there was not enough time to prepare
the mechanics of the elections.
Congress also agreed on a new elections com
missioner who reportedly said she was willing to
work to have the elections by the third week.
Loss of Commissioners
The delay in planning the elections was due, in
part, Thompson said, to the loss of one elections
commissioner, Steve Smallow, to the Armed Services
and another commissioner, Ricki Greenwald, who
resigned when she discovered that the elections had
to be held during the third week.
The new commissioner, Norma Dawson (7th
political science -Clinton, Pa.) was rejected in the
first vote by Congress partly on political grounds,
partly on her inexperience in election procedurals,
and partly on her anonymity in Congress.
But when Congress realized, after convincing
remarks by West Halls Congressman Russ Sensing,
that time was running short until the elections, it
reconsidered and handily approved Miss Dawson as
commissioner.
After last night's meeting, Thompson said it will
East Adopts RHA Concept
By JOE MEYERS
Collegian Staff Writer
The East Halls Council officially became the East Residence
Hall Association Wednesday night.
The RHA now gives the women of a residence hall area a
voice in their area's government. West Halls and North Halls
became chartered RHA's last term.
ERA President Ken Schwartz•said, "We've been working on
an RHA here in East for at least four years. Now that we've
become a chartered RHA, I think it's obvious that we're the
center of the University residence hall community."
Schwartz said one of the primary problems in converting
EHC into ERA is the lack of finished, constitutions from
residence halls in East. - „
Schwartz said the ERA primarily should be an investigative
body "which will turn dormitory existence into residence hall
living."
He cited interest houses and coed living units as two areas
ERA could investigate. Students with the same interests. ma
jors or residence hall fraternities could reside in these interest
houses, Schwartz said.

is almost 300 people working actively even
though the program is several weeks away."
On Saturday there will be six University
research projects dealing with environmental
pollution on display. There will be short
talks on projects such as mine drainage in
spection and a tour of the Center for Air
Environment Studies.
Most of the State College churches are
continuing the activities by scheduling Sun
day services dealing with environment and
pollution.
The environmental program will con
tinue the following Wednesday when Earth
Day is observed across the nation. Milton J.
Shapp, independent candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for Pennsylvania governor,
is scheduled to speak on ."For the Earth:
Innovations in Politics."
Many classes will be relating course ma
terial to problems in the environment, and
a group of students will be cooperating with
the State College High School to present a
program on pollution education.
Two special seminars are scheduled for
the HUB during the day. The first, entitled
"For the Earth, Innovations in Education,"
will feature John L. George, associate pro
fessor of wildlife' management; Randolph T.
Hester, assistant professor of landscape archi
tecture; and H. Seymour Fowler, professor
of education.
The afternoon session will deal with
"For the Earth: Innovations in Action." Panel
members will include Daniel H. Carson, asso
ciate professor of zoology, and Wells H.
Keddie, assistant professor of labor studies.
A group of students and commmunity
environmentalists, calling themselves "Citi
zens for the Earth," will ticket all. auto
mobiles on campus for polluting the en
vironment.
Films will be shown during the day
on Allen Street and folk-song sessions will
be held.
"There will be no excuse for people not
to get involved once they know the prob
lems," Beckwith said. "I fear that we're
going to sit down and talk about it and
then go on to the next Great American
Issue." Information on action-oriented en
vironment groups will be available at tables
in the HUB on Earth Day.
Beckwith said he began organizing the
pollution activities long before national Earth
Day was announced. In addition to serving
on the Inter-College Council s Board, Beck
with was an organizer of last year's Collo
quy program.

still be impossible to run a smooth election but he
will instruct Miss Dawson.to work as hard as possi
ble.
"It won't be an election in a complete sense,"
Thompson said. "I will ask Norma to fulfill the
minimum physical things needed to be done, but in
detail there will be many things lacking."
ThoMpson still refused, however, to revoke his
executive order calling a halt to all campaigning. He
explained that the elections commissioner does not
yet have a staff and there have been no candidates'
meetings to date.
Two Accuse Thompson
Jim Antoniono, candidate for the USG presiden
cy, and Ted Itzkowitz. USG treasurer and an An
toniono supporter, Wednesday accused Thompson of
stalling the elections for political reasons.
They charged that Thompson's reported choice
for the presidency, Bob Brinley, needed the extra
week as his staff was not organized until recently.
Thompson last night flatly denied the ac
cusations.
"I felt it was necessary to delay the elections un
til the fourth week, not for any political reasons and
not out of opposition or support of any candidate—but
for the main reason that the general student body
can have a fair campaign and get to know the can
didates better.
"Rushing the campaign into a week and a half
package is not fair to any of the candidates or con
stituents they hope to represent," Thompson said.
Approves Campaign Code
USG also approved an amended version of the
Fair Campaign Practices Code for executive elec-
Schwartz critized the allocation which the
Associated Student Activities granted to ERA
for the upcoming year. "There is no way that
we can expand with the lousy $1,400 a year that
ASA is giving us. It's an outrage. We're
getting about 38 cents a head to run this area,"
he said.
"The ASA is a bank. We should be issued a
checking account. Don't they trust us?" he add
During the informal discussion period, debate
centered on the representation each area will
have in the central RHA, which is in the pro
cess of replacing the Men's Residence Council
as the residence hall government. A tentative
constitution h as been drawn up , and was
ratified last term by MRC. Before the central
Women Vacate Residence Hall
After Bomb Threat Received
Nearly 30 women vacated an area of a
University residence hall at about 1 a.m.
Wednesday after an anonymous caller said he
planted a bomb there.
The Campus Patrol arrived shortly after 1:30
a.m. and searched the area, but found no
evidence of a bomb. • •
The 30 students requested, that their names
and the name of the residence hall be witheld,
but they did describe the conversation one
woman had with the caller. After he asked, "Is
this a sorority suite?" he said, "Well, I'm tired
of you goddamn niggers. I planted a bomb in
the suite."
In addition to campus patrolmen, Otto E.
Mueller, director of food and housing services,
and a resident assistant were on the scene. One

mittee to supervise the spring executive elections and
lists violations of the candidates.
The Elections Code limits executive campaigns
with regard to expenditures and endorsements. These
include:
—Each candidate for an executive office may
spend no more than $125. A slate or party of two can
didates for executive offices may spend no more than
5250. A slate or party of three candidates may spend
no more than 5375.
—Every candidate, whether independent or part
of a slate or party, who overspends the limit, but not
by more than S5O, shall be fined the same amount of
money as the sum overspent. If a. candidate over
spends the limit by an amount greater than $5O, he
shall be disqualified from the executive elections and
will be prohibited from holding a USG position or
from running again for any USG office.
Execs' Stipend Increased
In other business, Congress approved a bill revis
ing the annual stipend of the executive officers. Ac
cording to this bill, which goes into effect imme
diately, the president shall receive a salary
equivalent to the amount of University tuition for
each term he represents the student government on
campus. The USG vice president and treasurer will
receive the amount of tuition minus $5O.
If the president does not attend Summer Term,
the acting president will receive the stipend for that
term.
Previously, the USG executive members received
$2OO per term and the vice president and treasurer
received $l5O each per term.

Schwartz said some East residents believe
that one of the two representatives to the cen - -

that this should be a constitutional provision.
"Personally, I think you should send the two
most qualified people in the area to the cen-

Lynn Mack, president of the Association of
