THURMONT, Md. (AP) President
Nixon played host to Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko for an
overnight visit to Camp David yesterday
as they prepared to put into effect
historic arms-limitations agreements.
The two leaders will formally ex
change instruments of ratification at the
White House East Room this morning,
with an array of top officials on hand.
The invitation to Camp David came as
Nixon and Gromyko met for 70 minutes
at the White House, beginning a round of
meetings.
It was at Camp David, in the Maryland
mountains, that President Eisenhower
and then Soviet Premier Nikita Khrush
chev held meetings in 1959. A brief era of
good feeling that followed the meeting
became known as the "Spirit of Camp
David."
Under discussion yesterday were a
blowup on the arms agreements and
included such issues as treatment of
Soviet Jews, trade and a proposed
European security conference. '
Among those invited to a working
dinner last night at Camp David, along
with Gromyko, were Soviet Ambassador

McGovern sought to answer criticism
that he has vacillated and damaged his
credibility. He contended he has not

"no constant principle except op

He again defended the decision to

running mate, referring to the matter
for the first time in a formal speech.
McGovern moreover renewed his
challenge to Nixon to debate him.
Nixon's press secretary, Ronald L.
Ziegler, rejected any suggestions that
Nixon is hiding during the campaign. He
said the President is attending to official
business while Congress is in session,
and that he expects to have another news

Decision on vote promised
By ELAINE HERSCHER
Collegian Senior Reporter
SCRANTON Federal Judge William
J. Nealon left the district court at 6:40
last night promising a "prompt"
decision on the voter registration suit
against the Centre County Board of
Elections.
The decision, expected some time
today, holds the electoral fate of all
present and future student voters
residing in the county.
That word "residing" was the
object of a five-hour hang-up in deter
mining whether the commissioners are
guilty of discrimination in requiring
elaborate proof of residence for student
voter rights in State College.
Grilled for two hours by Nealon and
students' attorney Ambrose Campana,
Commissioner J. Doyle Corman who
acts as chairman of the elections board
tried to explain the imposition of
residency to the satisfaction of the court.
Following the judge's deliberation,
Campana said he found Nealon's
probing questions into Corman's
motivation encouraging.
"I'm just trying to establish what you
mean by residence." Nealon told Cor
man, "when you reject a person does
that mean you don't believe he
physically lives where he says he does or
that he won't be staying for any length of
time at that address, or what?"
Carman, who injected a "probably" or
an "I don't know but . . ." into nearly
every answer, replied that any resident
who is really a resident should be able to
prove it "in black and white."
Eight of the eleven plaintiffs called
had presented the commissioners with
some form of black and white which was
access
which would allow traffic from Laurel
Glen to Overlook Heights.
Howell tried to have a motion in
troduced which would require the
supervisors to begin eminent domain
action to condemn Jack Beasley's land if
it could not be bought within the next few
months.
Hunt turned down the proposal but
assured Howell that eminent domain
would be used if necessary. He refused
on the grounds that an agreement with
Beasley could be reached without
resorting to eminent domain.
The holdup in obtaining Beasley's land
was explained by Richard Campbell,
Ferguson Township Solicitor, who ex
plained that Beasley, a resident of
Annapolis, Maryland, never replied to
any of the township's offers.
Campbell also explained that using
eminent domain would insure obtaining
the land but added that the price could
rise far out of the township's reach.
The possibility of Pennsylvania

assistance since the extension would be
primarily a regional road and falls
directly in line with PennDOT's planned
Inner Loop was cited by A. Scott Rossi,
engineer for Patton and Ferguson
Townships.
According to Rossi, some PennDOT
representatives had visited the ex
tension site during the surveying phase.
He said their opinion at that time was
that they might assist the township. He
added that no further word has come
from them.
Ferguson township residents have
been attempting to apply pressure on
Beasley to sell his land by writing letters
to the Ford Motor Company.
Beasley is the owner of Beasley Ford
in Altoona and rents the disputed strip of
land in Ferguson Township to Miller-
McVeigh Ford as a parking lot for
trucks.
The Ferguson Township approval of
the alternate access route and its con
struction will fulfill the requirements set
by the Patton Township Board of
Supervisors for obtaining the occupancy
permits for Laurel Glen phase 11.
More than a 100 students have been
occupying the apartmentments illegally
since September 25.
The hearing scheduled for last night as
a result of Rudy's opening of the Old
Waddle Road without approval last week
was postponed and no new date has been
set according to Hunt.
Agnew's forum in Washington was the
same McGovern used earlier in the day
a meeting of editors of United Press
International.
The vice president said that if the
United States followed McGovern's
defense and foreign programs, it would
be "weak in will because of myopic
isolation" and "weak in way, because of
the ... concomitant program of cutting
our national defense budget to a level
which would invite aggression."
Agnew told the editors the late
President John F. Kennedy was right
when he said this country must have
conventional defenses strong enough so
that no president faced with aggression
would have to choose between surrender
or nuclear devastation.
And he said McGovem's policies
would lead exactly to this dillemma, as
well as inviting aggression against allies
around the world.
judged insufficient. Two others, Terry
Waible, a television producer and Sandy
Ewing, a teacher, testified to being
asked for no proof of residence after
their occupations were given to the clerk
in Bellefonte.
Rick Wheeler, the last plaintiff to
testify, discussed the history of student
non-registration and discouragement
encountered by those who tried to
register or those who knew of the dif
ficulties by word of mouth.
Two of the students, Charles Smith
(9th-zoology) and Mary Ann Hrivnak
(9th-meteorology) presented between
them apartment leases, student I.D.s, a
meal ticket, bursar's receipts dating
back to 1969 and drivers licenses bearing
the addresses of both their parents plus
the testimony of Pastor John Lenzky
stating both belong to a student
Lutheran organization.
They were both rejected because their
drivers licenses did not list a State
College address. On the day of their
rejection, they drove to Harrisburg and
had the addresses changed on the

Senate to vote on bill
By KEN CHESTEK
Collegian Senior Reporter
The University's appropriation bill for
this year finally will come up for a vote
in the Senate today, but, although
passage by that body appears certain,
the bill is likely to be delayed several
more days while the House ponders a
Senate amendment to the bill.
The amendment in question deals with
finding out if faculty members at Pitt,
Pan State and Temple are teaching a
"full workload" of 12 classroom hours a
week, and, if not, why not.
The amendment first passed Thur
sday, delaying the vote on the bill until
yesterday. Sen. Richard A. Snyder, R
-13th district, who sponsored the first
amendment, re-amended the bill last
night.
Under Senate rules, the bill cannot be
voted on until this afternoon. Senate
leaders say they have enough votes to
pass the bill.
The new amendment gives the
universities named until March to file a
report to the General Assembly in which
Acanfora gets help
By RICK NELSON
Collegian Staff Writer
Joseph Acanfora is getting some help
in his fight to be allowed to teach.
In a letter to the local school district,
the Montgomery County Education
Association asked that Acanfora be
reinstated in his classroom job of
teaching earth science in Partham
Junior High School In Maryland.
Acanfora was removed from his
classroom position Tuesday when school
officials learned of his battle for
teaching certification in Pennsylvania.
He was reassigned to a position in the
department of curriculum and in
struction in the school district.
Acanfora, an acknowledged
homosexual, faced a delay in his cer-
tification while his "moral character"
was questioned.
After a board of six University deans
could not reach a decision, Acanfora's
certification was approved by State
Education Secretary John C. Pittenger
Sept. 22.
After receiving the certification,
Acanfora told his supervising principal
of the challenge facing it. Since Penn
sylvania certification is not necessary to
teach in Maryland, this was the first
word the Montgomery County school
officials had of the controversy.
In what was termed a "gut reaction"
by Acanfora's lawyer Rick Isaacson, the
school board decided to remove Acan
fora from the classroom.
MCEA was not the first organization to
respond to Acanfora's plight. He said
last week that he was being aided by
National Education Association
lawyers.
As for McGovern's remarks about
corruption, Agnew termed them a
reckless allegation inspired by "the
prospect of defeat."
"It shows a lack of qualities a
president should have," he said.
Shriver told an audience of labor union
leaders in Minneapolis that in a second
Nixon administration employers would
use the Pay Board to knock down raises
for workers: "You're going to have
dictated wages dictated from
Washington."
Both in Minneapolis, where a tractor
plant is being closed, and later in Rock
Island, 111., Shriver said too many em
ployes are losing pension benefits, after
years of work, because their companies
fail or they are laid off. He called for
legislation to insure such benefits and
make them portable from job to job.

licenses. Returning to Bellefonte with
the changed addresses, they were
registered to vote on the spot.
In the case of Janet Sloane in whose
name the suit was filed on behalf of 7,000
other students, Sloane presented a
student I.D. and rent receipts but no
drivers license since a visual problem
precludes her getting a license.
"Why Janet Sloane?" the judge asked.
"Why was she singled out and not
registered?" Corman replied, "We
didn't see anything in black and white
that indicates she is a bona fide
resident." Corman did have the
statistics on how many students tried to
register and were accepted. He said the
figure was 85 per cent.
"I don't think that statistic is par
ticularly impressive," Nealon told
Corman, "because the word is out how
difficult it is for students to register."
Only 3,500 of the University's 27,200
students are registered in Centre
County.
Intensive questioning of Corman broke
out when he discussed a white slip used
by clerks to make notations on an ap
they list individually how many hours a
week each faculty member teaches. If a
teacher has less than 12 hours per week,
the University must make a satisfactory
explanation.
Should a university fail to make the
report by March, their budget payment
for the third quarter of the year will be
withheld by the state until the report is
made.
As of not, there are no sanctions listed
by which the legislature could force all
teachers to carry a full workload. Should
the reports reveal many underworked
teachers, the assembly can take the
action it feels necessary.
Snyder's amendment followed one
introduced by Sen. Joseph C. Am
merman, D-34th District, to add $2
million to the total appropriation, after a
similar amendment passed the House
several weeks earlier.
The new amendment makes the
Senate version different from the earlier
House version. Later this week, the
House will vote on the Senate version.
Should they accept it, the bill would be
Acanfora said school officials have not
responded yet to the MCEA letter asking
for his reinstatement. He said the case
would be taken to court if he is not back
in the classroom by Friday.
Acanfora said last week that NEA
lawyers had mentioned also that legal
action might be necessary if school
officials refused to respond to a letter
from NEA asking for Acanfora's rein
statement.
Isaacson said after Acanfora's
transfer that he believed Acanfora
might settle for having his ability judged
by a review board rather than engage in
a lengthy court case.
Instead of waiting for response from
plicant's physical proofs of residency. It
was brought out that prior to 1970,
around the time 18-year-olds were given
the constitutional right to vote, no
"black and white proof" was considered
necessary.
Justin Blewitt, State Deputy Atty.
Gen. representing the Commonwealth's
interest in the suit, jumped in with
questions for Corman on just what power
a piece of paper has.
Hearing from Corman how heavily the
elections board relies on drivers license
addresses, Blewitt asked, "Do two credit
cards equal one drivers license? Does an
apartment lease plus two credit cards
equal one drivers license?" Corman said
each case is different and must be
examined individually.
In terms of Corman's personal
feelings which Corman insisted did not
enter into his job, Campana asked, "Do
you consider four years of college to be
temporary residence?" "For me it
was," Corman said. Campana repeated
the question, to which Corman replied,
"For most it is." Campana then rested
his case.

signature. If it is voted down, a con
ference committee would be called to
settle the dispute, resulting in further
passage delays.
The bill has been pending since early
last summer. Delays over the nearly
two-month legislative recess caused the
University to run out of money in
August. Loans have been made until the
first payment on the new budget comes.
