A five-axle truck, circling the track 28 hours a day, seven days a week, will carry different loads to simulate real traffic flow. The oval includes a short and long curve where effects of ac celeration and deceleration can be measured. Instruments embedded in the highway, as well as various surface instruments currently in use by PennDOT, will measure stress, strain, deflection, slipperiness, and rideability. A weather station has been installed at the site to evaluate the effects of changing weather on the road. The results are expected to provide data which will lead to better designed pavements and to methods of predicting highway failure so that new time tables for resurfacing and reconstruction can be devised. p the old block THE HEAD, done in marble, is among the pieces of sculpture by Mary Cady Rubenstein that will continue on display in the Commons Gallery of Kern Graduate Center through Oct. 15. Fonda set for Harrisburg PHILADELPHIA (AP) Actress and antiwar activist Jane Fonda continued her nationwide campaign for peace in Penn sylvania yesterday. The 34-year-old Academy Award winner was scheduled to be in Harrisburg this morning, after an appearance at a York high school Sunday night. The decision to allow Fonda to speak at the Hannah-Penn High School in York was protested by three of the school board's 13 members. The board held an emergency meeting Saturday morning and announced that the actress would be permitted in the school. A local peace group, the York Action for Peace Committee, volunteered to pay for special police to cover the gathering. In Philadelphia over the weekend, Fonda appeared before working class people in the /iO 4 .

Commenting later on newspapaer reports of hecklers in the crowd, the actress said, "Not everyone agreed with what I said, but I didn't expect everyone to agree." In an interview Saturday with staff members of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, Fonda voiced her opinions of the peace movement and on U.S. involvement in Vietnam. "The only problem in America is lies We're confused. We're not told. "We're at a turning point in our history. We can go back to the McCarthy era Nixon was vice president then or we can turn to the future," she said. "I would not vote for Nixon in any way. No way. Not in any way. I think it's the most corrupt administration since Warren Har ding." AVAILABLE for REC HALL SERIES China observes anniversary day SHANGHAI (AP) China celebrated its 23rd National Day yesterday, prominently displaying the slogan, "We have friends all over the world." Four years ago there was a ring of defiance to this claim, many countries were alar med and dismayed . by the violence of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. One of those reacting most strongly was Japan. On Friday, Japan's Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka established diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China. West Germany will do the same soon. The list of countries knocking at the gates of Peking's Forbidden City is growing. The man chiefly respon sible for this turnabout is Premier Chou En-lai, still vigorous at the age of 74, and one of the consummate politicians of this century. He has been premier since Oc tober 1949. when the People's Republic was established. A child of the fading Chinese Mandarin class, Chou was born in a revolutionary age and grew up with it. Close and early association with the Com- The Artists Series mumst party chairman, Mao Tse-tung, combined with a shrewd ability to assess the twists and turns of politics has made Chou the second most important man in China, and without question its most active. A tenacious negotiator, he believes in advancing Communism through the application of peaceful coexistence. He talks rather than fights. He can do so because his credentials as a fighter are impeccable. Of all Chinese leaders, Chou comes closest to Mao's own middle-of-the-road party position. Chou helped end the ex cesses of the Cultural Revolution once calm was restored. He opened a crack in the great wall surrounding China. Long suspended relations with other countries were restored. In April 1971, a U S table tennis team and American newsmen opened the era of "ping pong diplomacy " President Nixon followed with his visit to Peking in Feb ruary and Tanaka unpacked his bags in the guest house seven months later For the National Day celebration yesterday, there were dances, songs, and music in the people's parks and squares all over the country. Shanghai, the great port city of 10 million that Tanaka left Saturday for Tokyo, burst into a city of light and ex citement on the eve of the October first anniversary. Electric lights decorated both the tall buildings con structed decades ago by the foreigners who made the city their commercial center and the newer structures put up by the Communists. Hundreds of thousands of people thronged the streets, walking under arches of lights over Nanking and Huai Hai roads. Ifroß "One of the best entertainment bar gains on campus." —Daily Collegian
