Upon from the

noticed smoke coming from
beneath his door. He brought
the wax into the hallway,
putting out the fire with an
extinguisher. The building
was evacuated as Campus
Patrol was summoned to put
out the blazing curtains.
Smoke damage to the room
Umana said UUB felt in
order to make Homecoming
more meaningful for both
students and alumni its best
course of action was to omit
sex from the contest’s
criteria.
“The contest will be open to
all Penn State students,”
Umana said.
Richardson said his
complaint was an attempt to
raise awareness of minority
and six discrimination on
campus.
“In terms of tradition this
will lead to the downfall of the
contest,” he said. “Next year
there will be a Homecoming
person who can be male or
female.”
Umana said other criteria
for the contest will be
determined by next year’s
Homecoming committee.
“I urge everybody with an
interest in Homecoming to
express their views to UUB,”
Umana said. “These views
will be included in the report
presented by UUB to the 1973
Homecoming committee,” he
added.

12 to examine
student deaths
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) Louisiana Atty. Gen.
William Guste appointed a 12-member commission yesterday
to investigate the turmoil at Southern University that led to
the deaths of two students.
Among those appointed to the panel were Revius Ortique, a
"black New Orleans attorney and former member of the
President’s Commission on Campus Unrest, and Turner
Catledge, retired executive editor of The New York Times and
a New Orleans resident.
Guste also named three other black officials and two
students from Southern’s New Orleans campus to the Com
mission Of Inquiry.
Guste told a news conference the commission will initiate its
investigation into last Thursday’s violence at the University,
the largest black college in the nation; beginning Nov. 27.
Two 20-year-old students, Denver A. Smith of New Roads,
La., and Leonard D. Brown of Gilbert, La., were killed as
sheriff’s deputies and state police tried to break up a
demonstration in front of the administration building.
Autopsies showed they died of buckshot wounds in the head
and shoulders.
The attorney general said the panel would meet in private,
like a grand jury, because the evidence obtained may lead to
criminal charges. He said he will use his office’s subpoena
powers and the witnesses will be under oath.
The attorney general said he had invited the Justice
Department to cooperate in the investigation. The Justice
Department had already announced an inquiry of its own.

Anti-abortion legislation
goes to governor's desk
HARRISBURG (AP) - The House last
night gave final approval to a strict anti
abortion bill that now goes to the governor’s
desk. But the date it arrives may determine
whether it becomes law this year.
The vote, which came after pro-abortion
lawmakers tried to kill the legislatin by
parliamentary maneuvers, was 127-50.
Once the governor receives the bill, he has
10 days to sign or veto the measure. If he does
neither, the legislation becomes law
automatically.
If the 10 days are up after the legislature
has adjorned, the governor has the further
option of vetoing the bill without giving
lawmakers a chance to override his decision.
If the governor takes this option, new
legislation would have to be introduced in the
next session of the legislature. The gover
nor’s veto could not be overridden.
And that’s where the date the bill arrives
becomes important.
Gov. Milton Shapp has said the bill was
unacceptable to him, indicating he would
veto the measure. If he takes that action
while the lawmakers are still in session,
there’s a good chance of an override, since
both houses passed the bill by wide margins
However, if the House fails to deliver the
bill until today, it would arrive with less than
10 days to go in the legislative session

Fineman is an opponent of the bill
The legislation prohibits all abortions
unless a woman's life is threatened by
continued pregnancy The governor’s all
female Abortion Law Commission said the
bill would be among the strictest m the
nation.
There was little actual debate on the bill
last night, since its merits were debated last
June, when, in a pre-electin vote, the House
passed the measure initially by 157-34.
Yesterday’s post-election balloting had 30
fewer votes for the measure
The House action yesterday was actually a
concurrence vote, with the chamber ac
cepting a Senate amendment.
Rep. Hardy Williams, D-Philadelphia, an
opponent, did bring up an oft-repeated
argument that “it’s the poor people who will
be victims of the butcher shops.”
Other pro-abortion legislators offered
motions to amend or delay the bill, but were
voted down easily.
The chief backer of the legislation, Rep.
Martin P. Mullen, D-Philadelphia called on
Shapp to take quick action.
