formed to
By BONNIE SHOK
Collegian Senior Reporter
Plans have been completed for the
formation of a University Concert. Com
mittee which will be the exclusive
sponsor of popular entertainment at the
University.
A temporary concert committee,
composed of students and administra
tors not associated with concert-spon
soring groups, had been working for
several months to plan the long-range
concert committee.
Because of gate-crashing, damage
done to University property and other
events which plagued concerts last
Fall Term, former Vice President for
Student Affairs Charles L. Lewis ap
pointed a short-range committee "with
out vested interests" to propose an all
campus entertainment board.
Approved Recommendations
Acting Vice President for Student
Affairs Raymond 0. Murphy recently
approved the recommendations of the
temporary committee whose members
include Robert H. Barnes,- director of
campus security; W . R. Bechdel, assist
ant dean of continuing education and
public service; Paul Heimbach (12th
electrical engineering -Palmerton); Josh
Krebs, former president of the Asso
ciation of Residence Hall students; Lee
M. Uperaft, acting dean of student af
fairs; Charles Sharbaugh, former presi
dent of the Academic Assembly, and
Ned Schwartz, former president of the
Organization of Town Independent
Students.
The University Concert Committee,
the entertainment board proposed by
the temporary committee. will be .the
exclusive sponsor of popular campus
entertainment in Rec Hall, Schwab, the
Ice Pavilion or on the grounds of the
University for which admission is
charged and whose contracts are in the
amount of $l,OOO or more.
If an event does not meet all three
of the above criteria, it does not come
under the jurisdiction of the UCC, ac
cording to Uperaft.
UCC Representatives
The UCC will be composed of a
representative from the Jazz Club, the
Folklore Society, the University Union
Board, the Artists and Lecture Series,
the Black Student Union, the Inter
fraternity Council and the Undergrad-
Postage prices
new rates begin
By PERRI FOSTER-PEGG
Collegian Staff Writer
Starting Sunclay.\ Americans have
to pay still,more for their postage.
The new postal rates will increase the
cost of a letter from six cents to eight
cents and postcards from five cents to six
cents for first class mail.
Airmail letters under eight ounces will
cost 11 cents and airmail post cards will
cost nine cents. These rates also apply to
mail going to Canada and Mexico, but
other international rates will not be
substantially increased.
This increase is a direct,,result of the
Postal Reorganization Act of August 12,
designed to bring the Post Office Depart
ment "out of the red and into the black."
according to J. Russell Hoyde, assistant
postmaster in State College.
Post Office Service
By July, the Post Office Department
will be converted to the Post Office Ser
vice, a government corporation which
will operate similar to a business, he
said.
Under the new system, the Post Office
is expected to break even on a national
level by 1975, according to Elmer Eters,
assistant superintendeni, of State College
Mail.
Eters, who said he would "hate to
estimate" how far in the red the Post Of
fice is, explained that the rate increase
eventually will finance the mechanical
sorting of the mail planned for the near
future.
This will lead to larger volumes of mail
being channeled through the bigger post
offices, such as State College and less in
the smaller offices, he said.
"We arc told there will be no mass lay
offs, but the people in the smaller offices
will be brought to the larger areas and
won't be replaced." he said.
According to Albert Mische, manager
of the University's Communication Ser
vices, the 25 per cent increase will cost
the University an additional 5125,000 in
postage. "We will spend this fiscal year
some $500,000 in postage," he said. "Next
year, without the six per cent increase in
volume yearly, it will cost $625,000."

investigate groups
uate Student Government. Also on the
committee will be one representative
from the office of the vice president
for student affairs, the office of stu
dent activities and two faculty mem
bers.
Representatives from these groups
attended an organizational meeting yes
terday afternoon to discuss the estab
lishment of permanent members for
the UCC. Each organization has been
asked to choose its UCC representative
by Monday, according to William H.
Fuller, manager of the Hetzel Union
Building.
The students then will submit
recommendations for the selection of
the two faculty members who will
serve on the UCC.
The "most controversial" feature
of the UCC plan, Uperaft said, is that
all profits from concerts would accrue
to the Committee for the underwriting
of future entertainment events. Any
losses would be covered by the com
mittee.
Uperaft told The Daily Collegian
that it was the feeling of the planning
committee that it is "unfair for the .
total student body to be subsidizing a
small concert-sponsoring group such as
the Jazz Club or the IFC."
He explained that handling con
certs through the non-profit UCC
would be fairer to students and would
result in cheaper concerts and possibly
some free concerts.
"The USG and the Jazz Club agree
that the UCC is a good idea," he said,
adding that "IFC is not pleased" about
the committee.
Uperaft said if - a'group such as the
Jazz Club or IFC wants to sponsor a
concert in conjunction with one of their
activities they could "go -to the
keep
for approval,"but could not keep any
of the profits.
'Still Free Agent'
However, he explained, the Artists
and Lecture Series is "still a free
agent" and the UCC has no jurisdiction
over their entertainment events.
Many students in the past have
criticized the "selective ticket policies"
of concert-sponsoring groups, Uperaft
said. He added that to eliminate this
practice, the UCC Will have the, au
thority to establish complete fiscal and
distribution policies with respect to

which goes at 50 per cent of the cost of
first class mail, in order .to reduce the
University's expenses.
Mische, who said he believes the postal
service is a very inefficient organization,
also said he hopes the new corporate set
up will mean improvements. He added.
however, that he doubts "we will ever see
better service to any great extent.'
University Park Station Superintendent
G. V. Taylor claimed student reaction at
the present is "louiy."
"We've always increased the rates but
this is a pretty sharp jump," he said. "At
the present times we're having an awful
lot of flack but I doubt people will stop
writing letters unless telephoning
becomes cheaper."

Mrs. Green said. "In a felony, it is the

According to Mrs. Green this is prima

She stressed that she does not decide
guilt.
Hayman now awaits the• grand jury

"exactly where we stand." according to
Barry Manns, BSA coordinator.
The meeting, which was open to all
students, consisted of "progress reports"
presented by staff assistants, Eldridge
Gibson and Lee Coffer.
Gibson, who works out of East One

finances. He listed the more important
problems facing the advisers at this time

to the area coordinators, designing pro
grams to meet these needs, acting as
liasons between residence hall staffs and
the staff in Old Main. and developing a
good relationship with the Educational
Opportunity Program.
He pointed out that BSA and EOP
presently are working at "balancing sex

Gibson noted that the staff has
received complaints that the black
lounges are not "reaching their poten

Coffer, staff assistant from Pollock

Additional responsibilities of the

The UCC also is charged with main

Oswald, students discuss draft
By ROD NORDLAND
Collegian Senior Reporter
University President John W. Os
wald yesterday said the University
should not supply draft boards with in
formation on a student's status unless
the student gives his permission, ac
cording to student leaders who met
with Oswald and Raymond 0. Murphy,
acting vice president for student affairs.
• Dave Dankovic, who represented
the Coalition for Peace. said the presi
dent reacted with surprise when in
formed that as a matter of policy the
Office of, Records in Shields notifies
draft boards of changes in student
status. This is done promptly if a.stu
dent fails to register on time or takeS
less than the nine credits needed to
be - a full-time student, although Shields
is not required' by law to do so. •
Oswald said this is -contrary to
University',policy and he promised to
look into it, Dankovic said. '
Met With Representatives ~,.
The meeting yesterday morning
consisted of representatives of the
Student.Peace-Union, the Coalition for
Peace, the Revolutionary Union, , , the
New University Conference and the
Undergraduate Student Government,
and was held so that administrators
and students could exchange views on
various, campus - issues.
Another issue which the president
promised to "look into," Dankovic said,
is the purchase by the University ig
non=union or "scab" 'lettuce for use in
the dining halls. This, the student rep
resentatiVes said, makes' the Univer
sity an' accomplice in the victimization
of migrant workers in California. •
The president said at .the meeting
that he had already received a resolu
tion from the Graduate• Employees
Union asking 'the University to buy
only union lettuce, according to Mur
phy. Murphy said the matter has been
referred to Vice President for Business
Ralph E. Zilly for possible action.

president indicated he hopes to end the
imbalance of men and women students

people came out of the room. The girl
said she and Hayman entered the room,
she thought to continue the conversation,
and he started his advances.
She said she struggled and, when
someone knocked on the door, she tried
to call out to say, "Just a minute - , but
Hayman put his hand over her mouth and
her cry was muffled.
The coed stated she received a number
of injuries, bruises. a swollen bleeding
lip, scratched face, and broken bleeding
fingernails. She did not see a doctor until
the following Tuesday and did not press
charges until 10 days after she had seen
the doctor.
Other witnesses, people who had been

of a struggle.
Hayman's fiance testified that when
some people wanted to leave, she knock

BSA's position discussed
Spence, blacks talk
By BILL SANTAMOUR
Collegian qe7LiD. Repo-'.e*
In a tense exchange with black stu
dents Charles S. Spence. director of
residence hall programs, explained that
the Black Staff Assistants will be issued
no budget "as such" with which they can
carry on their activities.
Responding to a student's, assertion
that without the money to implement and
initiate programs BSA considers
necessary, the power to do so is just
rhetoric. Spence said "all programs
designed to alleviate racial tension do not
necessarily require money."
He pointed out that BSA can order
any supplies it might need from his of
fice.
The student leaders told Oswald
they oppose ROTC and military recruit
ment on campus, they want the Uni
versity to take a stand on the Vietnam
war, they felt that students should
have more control over their own lives,
and they believe that Oswald should
support Project Newgate, a prison pro
gram.
Dankovic said Oswald defended
ROTC on the grounds that it is an im
portant option for many students and
that the University cannot make moral
judgements concerning curriculum.
Oswald also said removing military re
cruitment from campus would interfere
with the freedom of many students,
Dankovic reported.
People's Peace Treaty
Oswald said it is not the function
of the University to take. any kind of
stand on the People's Peace Treaty, a
document which is being widely circu
lated in the United States and calls for
an immediate end to the war in Indo
china. In a wider sense, the president
indicated that he does not believe the
University should be involved in "social
action," according to USG Senator
Mike Shields, who also was at the
meeting.
The student representatives told
the president they feel that students
should have more control over their
own lives. Benson Lichtig, USG presi
dent. said he believes that students
should have the power to control the
budget for student activities and should
have more say in the operations of
the Hetzel Union Building as steps
toward greater student self-govern
ment. Oswald cited security and ad
ministrative problems which would
make this very difficult, Shields said.
Newgate Project
Shields, who is also a Project New
gate student, questioned the president
concerning Newgate, which is set up
Senate panel approves revival
of supersonic transport project
WASHINGTON (AP) A &nate
panel endorsed the House•passed revival
of the American supersonic transport
yesterday amid reports that renewal of
the program might cost U.S. taxpayers
up to St billion.
The Senate Appropriations Com-
mittee voted 13 to 7 to reject a bid by
Sen. William Proxmire, D-Wis.. to delete
the $B5 million in SST funds voted by the
House in a surprise move Wednesday.
But the committee's chairman. Sen.
Allen Ellnder. D-La., previously a strong
SST backer, voted with the minority and
later told newsmen: "I think it's still
dead. You won't get the votes in the
Senate. It's that simple."
Repercussions from the House action
centered mostly on how much it would
cost to get the SST assembly program
rolling again. The estimates rang from a
low of $2OO million offered by SST's chief
'supporter, Sen. Warren G. Magnuson. D.
Wash.. to a possible Si billion suggested
by William Allen, board chairman of the
Boeing Corp., prime SST contractor.
In a news conference Allen said 5500
million probably would be the minimum
•it would take to "pick up the pieces' . of
the SST program:
Michael Carpenter. staff assistant
from South Halls and adviser to FOP.,
explained that BSA must also act
as advisers to the Student Standards
Boards. "We counsel a student for his ap
peal, offer advice on civil cases and help
in arranging hail if he's busted." Car
penter explained.
Carpenter commented on a project in
South Halls to increase legal awareness.
"Workshops tell what a student's rights
are and other things they should know,"
he said.
University President John W. OSN\ ald
also ortered comments at last night's
meeting. "This institution must broaden
and deepen its committment for people
who. through no fault of their own, have
had social or financial disadvantages," he
said, adding that the University must
"not only admit these people but must
develop programs to keep them in until
graduation."
He stated that it is the University's
duty, "particularly as a state university"
to maximize "the opportunity that these
people can succeed here."

Old Main Lawn and Colloquy '7l presents
their first major speaker —Betty
Friedan—tonight.
Shapp, who has been named honorary
chairman of the Renaissance Festival,
will speak at 3:30 p.m. on Old Main
Lawn. In case of rain he will speak at
Schwab.
Shapp is scheduled to speak about the

with The Daily Collegian yesterday.
He also will issue a proclamation at

convicts and which has until recently
been administered by the University.
Oswald said the Bureau of Corrections
takeover of the project is an improve
ment which would help the bureau in
its goal of providing more than just
mere custody for prisoners. according
to Dankovic. He added that Oswald
promised to meet with Newgate stu
dents on Wednesday to discuss the
future status of the program.
The students at the meeting also
questioned Oswald on Murphy's recent
action suspending student privileges to
the Homophiles of Penn State, a group
which is interested in advancing the
civil liberties of homosexuals. Oswald
said a decision would depend on legal
advice of University lawyers about
HOPS, and Murphy added that if law
yers find nothing illegal in the exist
ence of the group it will regain its
student privileges, according to Danko
vic. The student leaders said the sus
pension of HOPS' privileges constitutes
a pre-judgement of the group.

Tracy said of Oswald, "Our prin
ciples and our whole moral structure

was as good as he could be. •He was
willing to share his 'opinions and hear
ours." '
