Last week two University Park stu- Collegian biases court, UDG president charges By PAUL SCHAFER Coliegian Staff Writer Jim Antoniono, president of the Under graduate Democra tic Government, an nounced last night that he is formally press ing contempt of court charges against The Daily Collegian for its coverage of the al leged petition forgeries by candidates for UDG Congress. The Collegian case will be heard by the UDG Supreme Court. In addition, Andrea Wood, a town can didate for UDG Congress, announced her withdrawal from the race and Joel Magazin er, another candidate, announced his resigna tion from the position of student representa tive to the University Senate's Task Force on Faculty Organization. Antoniono contends that he has initiated the charges "due to their (The Collegian's) inter ference with fair and impartial justice." Antoniono released the following state ment to The Collegian last night: 'Emotional Atmosphere' "Because of the emotional atmosphere of the campus, I have waited until now to release a second statement. Charges, accusa tions and insinuating innuendos have been leveled at many people including myself. To say the least, the events of the past week have deeply disturbed me. I felt my genera tion would stand up for the principles of innocence until proven guilty (guilt can only be established by a court) and the tight to a fair trial, apparently this is not the case; at least at Penn State. "I have purposely not commented on the case before the Supreme Court because I strongly believe in the two principles above. It is not my responsibility to determine guilt or to act as judge or jury. However. I have asked the Supreme Court to investigate the whole incident. "To protect those students who may come before the Supreme Court or some other judicial body in the future, I have initiated action against The Daily Collegian charging them with contempt of court due to their interference with fair and impartial justice." No Date Set Contacted last night, UDG Supreme Court Chief Justice Rodger Davis gave no indication as to when the contempt of court case would be heard, saying only "as soon as possible."

Plans for . the University Council were announced this summer following a June 11 directive by the Board of Trus tees which prescribed certain changes in University governance. Under the directive, the council was formed to provide a means of communi cation between students, faculty and ad ministrators and to advise Oswald on matters of academic program priorities. The two deans, Paulson and Larsen, were named to the council by the Council of Academic Deans. Althouse, as vice president for aca demic affairs, is a permanent member of "With this statement I withdraw from the UDG congressional race as a candidate from town. I do this with a sad sense of freedom lost. "I claim no rationalization for my ac tions: only stupidity. I admit no motivation than warped altruism. "Yet, all of what I say has no meaning: my 'trial' is over, my judge' was the paper. The personal abuse I suffer is minimal com pared to others like Norma Dawson and Jim Antoniono, who have done no wrong, yet were 'defendants' in the same 'trial' convicted by the same 'judge.' "I call on The Daily Collegian, and es pecially Robert J. McHugh, Editor, to pub licly apologize to Norma, Jim and myself for 'convicting' us of something they had no jurisdiction over and for violating their own words by 'playing with the legitimacy of government.' "I know now the awful feelings of the victims of McCarthyism of the 1950's by realizing what it is like to be a pawn of an unnecessary, merciless, purging, warped 'crusade.'" Collegian Editor Replies Collegian Editor Rob McHugh last night issued the following reply to Miss Wood's statement: - "I repeatedly have said to Miss Wood and to others that the positions that were taken by The Daily Collegian are legitimate and in order. "Since I continue to maintain this posi tion, I feel no apology is in order." Magaziner announced his resignation in a letter to UDG President Antoniono. The letter said: "This afternoon I was to meet with the Senate Council as the undergraduate repre sentative to the Task Force on Faculty Or ganization. We both worked very hard to get undergraduate representation on the Task Force because we felt it to be in all of our interests. "Unfortunately, Dean Magner (Univer sity Senate Chairman Thomas F. Magner) informed me that my credibility was ques tionable—he had read The Collegian. "I nzed not tell you how strong my commitment is to student government. For that reason, I feel obligated to resign as the undergraduate representative to the Task Force on Faculty Organization." Magaziner told The Collegian last night that "Magner didn't ask for my resignation; he just questioned whether or not the other members of the Task Force would uphold MY credibility." . _ .

Off-campus women elect 3 AWS town senators Center opens doors 'By BARBt STINE Collegian Staff Writer The family planning center of Centre County Monday will open its doors to the general public for the first time, Marion K. Stocker, president of the Family Planning Council of Central Penn sylvania, Inc., announced Wednesday night. Mrs. Stocker was one of the speakers present at the panel discussion in Schlow Memorial Li brary sponsored by the Health-Needs-In-Centre- County Study Committee of League of Women Voters in the State College area. The meeting's main purpose was to acquaint the residents In Centre County, in addition to League's own mem bers, with all aspects of the new family planning center located at 140 W. High Street, Bellefonte. Members of the panel included acting moder ator Mrs. Rose Cologne, retired University pro fessor and one of the original founders of the center: Mrs. Grace Witherite, a director of FPC who has worked extensively in the poverty areas of Centre County, and Mrs. Mary Mathias, a former public health nurse from California who recently was named part time executive director of the center. Rev. Edward Younken.of. the Park Sharon Burroughs. From East Halls, the statement names Charlene Hone, Cheryl Cardish, Donald Winters, Allen Westbrook. George Potter, Bill Wingert and Eileen Conlon. Russ Bensing from West Resi dence Halls Area and Fern Itzkowitz and John Cooper of CPntte Halls are also named. Jon Hochberger, a can didate from the Pollock-Nittany Area, and four fraternity candidates, Mark Newman, Charles Kopp, Curt Ritter and Craig Lenderman rounded out the list. The statement released by the Su preme Court continues, "The petitions of the above candidates, and those of any others which this court finds valid, may be used, if the petitioner so desires, for the upcoming UDG Fall Congressional Elections. "We emphatically stress that the above list is not necessarily a complete list of valid candidate's petitions : The court is continuing with all deliberate speed toward the condluiion of its in vestigation. "The • Court will reconvene, in closed session, at 6:00 p.m. Monday, October 26, in 217 HUB. Contempt Charges When questioned whether the Su preme Court had taken any steps in Request not yet received by prexy Referendum delayed Forest United Methodist Church, and Dr. Charles W. Rhorbeck, State College obstetrician and gynocologist both members of the executive com mittee of FPC, also sat on the panel. The main purposes of the center are to inform and educate community residents about family planning methods and to provide clinical services in this subject matter to women and men in Centre County who request them, Mrs. Mathias explained. The goals of public health are "care for the individual's entire well being—spiritual, psycho logical, economical needs as well as medical biological ones," she said. Vital Needs Mrs. Stocker cited vital needs for the center. "More than - 21,000 women of child-bearing age (15-44) reside in the county. Of these 2.600 are medically indigent and cannot afford to pay reg ular hospital and doctor fees." she said, pointing out that no family planning service, available to everyone, existed within an 80-mile radius of Centre County. Mrs. Cologne examined the population crisis citing the fact that there are over three billion people in the world at present, and this figure is "expected to double itself within the next 37 years," the direction of leveling charges of contempt of court. Davis said. "I'd rather not say at this time." He added that he had nothing further to add about the proceedings of the court. The Supreme Court's eight jus tices. over which Davis presides, usually includes representatives from the Men's Tribunal, Women's Tri bunal, the Town Independent Men's Council, Association of Residence Hall Students, Panhellenic Council, Black Student Union, Interfraternity Coun cil and Associated Women Students. Since the beginning of the hear ings, the representativei of the Wom en's . Tribunal and Associated Women Students have not been present. The representative of the Black -Student Union was absent last night, but is expected to' attend the session on Monday. Investigates Validity The court was convened by UDG President Jim Antoniono to investi gate the'validity of the petitions of 16 candidates for the UDG Congress. Four University students have ad mitted to actively forging names on election petitions. The four are: Jim Rodden (6th-liberal arts-Verona), Joel Magazincr (sth-liberal arts-Melrose Park), Andrea Wood (7th-political sci ence-Pittsburgh) and Mary Beth Chap man (Bth-psychology-Springfield, Va.) Candidates who have admitted knowledge of the alleged forgeries are Eric Erivoy (10th-English-Altoona), Larry Heaps (10th-psychology-Norris town. Susan Stave (11th-secondary ed ucation - Philadelphia) and Miriam Brown (7th-liberal arts-Phoenixville). Submit Resignations UDG Vice President Dave Schmitt, having announced his knowledge of the alleged forgeries, resigned his post in the student government. Norma Dawson, UDG elections commissioner, submitted her resigna tion from that post, but the resigna tion was rejected by Antoniono on the grounds that he "felt that she had no grounds for resigning." The congressional elections were postponed until November 3 and 4 to give the Supreme Court a chance to reach a decision on the validity of the petitions. The Supreme Court will not deter mine the guilt or innocence of any of the persons involved. only the validity of the petitions which it has been re quested to review. quests for referendums is not in the jurisdiction. - of _the Court," he said. He added that - Antoniono would have to handle such matters. Antoniono said he, too, had no knowledge of the petition. Musical' Petitions' Upon learning that the request could not he located, Bensing said he would 'draw. up another petition and -deliver - it personally, to, An toniono this afternoon. "I'm tired of playing musical petitions," he said. "Antoniono could stall •this thing until Easter unless he's pres sured." Lapuma stated, "We're only trying to do what is written in the "constitution'that •Antoniono drew up last year." He continued, "It seems Jim has such control over every thing we can't do anything." Antoniono was asked Wednes day night by The Collegian what his reaction was to the proposed referendum. He then stated, "I don't see how the referendum can be held, pending court action." Accord ing to the UDC president It might interfere with the case." Bensing replied last night, "There is no way It (the referendum) can interfere with the case." He went on, "It is completely abstract and not intended against anybody in particular." Bensing also said earlier he ex pected the referendum to go before the student body for a vote on Mon day and Tuesday. The UDG con stitution states that the referendum would be held "as soon as possible, but at least 48 hours after" the receipt of the request. so that team members may attend the .rally. _ The cheerleaders will spark en thusiasm in the crowd and a local band will supply music. • Students who organized the rally include Undergraduate Demo cratic Government President Jim Antoniono.

Previously man relied on famine, disease. typhoon and wars to keep the population down; what we are advocating here tonight is a more civilized way." Lower Birth Rate The lower birth rate in the middle class as opposed to the poorer classes is due to more ex tensive practice and knowledge of contraceptiye techniques, Rev. Younken contended. He claimed the poor have not had the benefit of family plan ning services or most health services because they simply could not afford it. Mrs. Witherite agreed, adding "a lot of these people don't realize that they don't have to have children, that there are ways of preventing preg nancy. They can't envision being out of the rut of washing diapers and stretching lunch money for 13 children. When we tell them about contra ceptive methods they are really excited about it." The center will be a ."real help to stopping large families the people don't want and can't afford," Mrs. With.rite . added. (Continued on page sir) Seven Cents
