4lk.\ - ' r , : Oswald raps again UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT John VV. Oswald rapped to the I'SG Senate last night about why he has been holding fewer sessions lately. Oswald talks to By MITCH CHERNOFF Collegian Senior Reporter University President John VV. Oswald met with the Undergraduate Student Government Senate last night and ex plained why certain programs have been discontinued Oswald formerly had two student assistants working directly with him, but explained he discontinued this on the advice of the student advisory board. Oswald said. “They i student assistants) were very valuable my first Lynch seeks to end reign DUBLIN (AP) Prime Minister Jack Lynch's government sought new emergency powers yesterday to end the bomb and bullet terror campaign of the outlawed Irish Republican Army. Then the administration ordered a major security clampdown and braced for a violent challenge for IRA ex- tremists Police leaves vere canceled and reserve forces were ordered out to contain possible trouble in the capital Special guards were mounted on Cabinet ministers and around government buildings. Authorities also acted swiftly to remove from the capital one source of possible confrontation between the IRA and government security forces. Sean MacStiofam. reputed chief of staff of the IRA guerrillas, was whisked by helicopter from a Dublin hospital to an Irish army hospital at Curragh under a heavy guard MacStiofain, serving a six-month sentence for being an IRA member, has been on a hunger strike to demand his release He was treated at Dublin’s Mather Everything you wanted to know By ELAINE HERSCHER Collegian Senior Reporter g PHILADELPHIA “When ;j: Christ picked his 12 apostles, he S picked them all men. I think he did 5 the right thing. Women are for | having babies,” Phyllis Schlafly £ said in a speech before the Anti- Si Subversive Seminar here last 6 weekend. Schlafly, one of the speakers for the Christian Anti-Communist Crusade sponsoring the seminar, talked about “Women’s Liberation and the Subversion of the Family.” Like many movements, right or left, the members talked mostly to the daily - p year here, but I recognized there was some student opposition to this.” He noted most of the opposition came from student government organizations which felt they were being bypassed. “They wanted to work directly with me through established channels,” Oswald said. Oswald also explained why he has held few student rap sessions this year. “I spent a lot of time in 35 to 40 various rap sessions my first year,” he said, “after a while I found I was rapping with the same 25 or 30 people. 1 began to find they were not really constructive ” Hospital The hospital has virtually been under siege by hundreds of people since Sunday, when an IRA band made a vain attempt to help MacStiofain escape. His removal from the capital was expected to ease the security task in Dublin. A new justice bill to be debated in the Dai!, the Irish parliament, tomorrow ~ou!d give Irish police and special courts vastly increased powers to jail suspected IRA terrorists Instead of the government having to prove a man was an IRA member, the new laws would shift the onus onto the suspect to prove he was not. No longer would the government have to get evidence of illegal possession of firearms, produce incriminating documents, witnesses or other proof of a suspect’s IRA affiliation. Instead a special court would accept as evidence the unsupported statement of a police superintendent that a man belongs to the IRA If the new justice bill is passed and rigorously applied it could be more important than the arrest of MacStiofain in defeating the IRA in both parts of Ireland. one another. But they didn’t mind. What they may have lost in new recruits, they gained in training older members to bring more neophytes into the fold. The seminar attracted the very young or the very old. The few whose age group fell in between belonged to a group of visiting nuns, cautiously taking it all in. The young people came either as college or alternative media represen tatives or devil’s advocates. And the older ones didn’t say very much. The seminar was held Friday through Sunday, including the speeches, multi-part movies en titled “The Truth About Com munism” and short training sessions. Schlafly spoke on Saturday, after four Friday speeches including one by Juanita Castro, Fidel Castro’s sister claiming to be exiled, from Cuba for her anti-Communist beliefs. Schlafly noted feminists have one thing in common their sex.

This move follows a series of nine hearings this year in which PSUBRANCH and the University presented evidence for their views before a labor board hearing examiner. PSUBRANCH petitioned the board in 1971 for collective bargaining rights under Public Employes Relations Act 195 which gives public employes the right to organize. “We wish to represent the entire branch campus faculty of 18 campuses,” PSUBRANCH President Jacqueline Zemel said. “If the labor relations board rules in our behalf, this will be followed by an election ” On the ballot for the 800 full-time faculty members would be PSU BRANCH-Pennsylvania Association for Higher Education (an arm of the Penn sylvania State Education Association), any other group interested in acting as bargaining agent and the choice of no representation. me luture of collective bargaining depends on the labor relation board USG Oswald added that although issues are much the same as they were two years ago, methods of them are different. “It was a much more con frontation-oriented society two years ago.” he noted. Oswald also commented on the con troversy surrounding the Ritenour Health Center. “Certainly the case load at Ritenour is tremendous. They need more funds, he asserted. Oswald continued, “For every program that is substantially enriched, we have to make a decision as to what programs will be dropped." He asked for student input as to what programs they felt could be eliminated. Before leaving, Oswald discussed campus security. “From the first I've been determined to develop a first class, professional police force on campus,” he said. This would be for the protection of the 45,000 people on campus each day, he said, not for repressive purposes. USG Vice President Mark Jinks an nounced that a definite site for a town bus terminal had been approved at the State College Borough Council meeting Wednesday night. station will be located near the corner of College Avenue and Atherton Street at the former site of the Railway Express Agency office. A location closer to the center of town was rejected because the council feared added pollution and congestion, Jinks said. A town terminal had been a major project of the USG Senate, which felt the present location, two miles from town on N. Atherton Street, was inconvenient for students. The Senate also authorized an ad hoc committee to investigate University funding procedures. The committee will work in conjunction with a Com monwealth Campus group investigating the matter. A bill was passed urging the Penn sylvania State General Assembly to lower the drinking age to 18. A campus wide petition to this effect will be cir culated, and submitted with similar petitions from other state universities. discrimination for women, Schlafly put down the Equal Rights Amendment and Women’s Liberation on every count, discussing their contribution to weakening familial fibers to Communism. “The Equal Rights Amendment would be a terrible reduction in the privileges they (women) now have,” she said, questioning how a woman would make it through West Point and learn to drive a tank. But she said she does not feel women are equal to men; they are superior and have always enjoyed a superior position in society which they now seek to change. Schlafly said she wants to preserve the woman’s right not to have a job and be, according to her, legally obligated to provide 50 per cent of the income in a marriage. No such stipulation is listed in the amendment. On the subject of “women’s lib bers" she said in one of her pam phlets, “They hate men, marriage and children. They are out to destroy morality and the family. They look upon husbands as the exploiters, children as an evil to be avoided (by abortion if (neces sary)...” Her convictions line up perfectly with the Crusade’s anti ruling, according to Zemel. “If one looks at other states, there is an inevitable trend toward bargaining in higher education,” she said. “With the (13) state colleges negotiating, Temple (University) determining its (bargaining) agent, eventually PSU and Pitt will go into bargaining ” Any proposed bargaining unit would bargain with a negotiating team picked by the University Board of Trustees. “Most items would be across the board,” Zemel said. “The state board has not issued a ruling on local negotiations on local issues.” According to Zemel, having branch campus faculty members act as a separate unit from University Park would have two advantages. “For public employes that rely on funds from the state, there is advantage of being able to present contracts Gay groups to discuss rights HOPS to host meeting Bv RICK NELSON and JEFF DeBRAY of the Collegian Staff Homophiles of Penn State met last night at the Wesley Foundation to plan a convention of the Federated Gays of Pennsylvania here this weekend. They also discussed a gay rights platform drafted by the FPG at a meeting in Pittsburgh last month. The State College convention stems from a HOPS offer to hold the first state wide steering committee meeting of FPG. According to Ted Wright, a HOPS member, the various meetings of the convention will be held in the homes of HOPS member due to difficulty in ob taining the use of University facilities. HOPS members are unsure as to how many people will attend, but estimate it may be about 50. HOPS is not permitted to use University facilities pending a suit against the University to be recognized as a chartered student organization. Wright said campus organizations had not been able to obtain facilities on Legislature enters homestretch HARRISBURG (API The Is7th regular session of the legislature enters its final week today with a host of im portant bills still before it as it awaits Gov. Shapp’s decision on the strict anti abortion measure. Today’s session will be a token one to move bills in place for final votes. The full House and Senate return tomorrow and have until midnight Thursday, the constitutional deadline, to complete legislative action. Any bills still hanging automatically die. The new legislature takes office Dec. 1 but will not be sworn in until Jan. 2. Shapp has told supporters of the abortion bill he will decide what action to take by tomorrow. The bill outlaws all abortions unless the woman’s life is threatened. In what he calls the toughest decision of his administration Shapp can either veto it as is expected sign it, or not sign it, in which case the bill automatically becomes law in 30 days. Although he opposes abortions, Shapp last week expressed dissatisfaction with the bill because it does not permit ter mination of pregnancies resulting from abortion stand, and may possibly be more ardent than those of the nuns in attendance. One sister, who teaches Marxist sociology at Holy Family College in Philadelphia, said she came because she wanted “to see it as a knowledge thing rather than a fear thing.” Right now her perception of Communism, she said, is leaning more toward a form of slavery rather than one of freedom but not because the Crusaders have jam med anything down her throat. “I wouldn’t let that happen,” she said. Another nun was more militant. Stepping outsitjp her role of sub missive religious teacher, she said she resented her organization designed to better identity and job opportunities being lumped with all other women’s groups. Surprising many in the audience she said, “We call ourselves professional women.” That was okay with Schlafly, as long as the sister remembers her place. “Women want and need protection,” her pamphlet reads. “Any male who is a man or a gentleman will accept the responsibility of 'protecting women.” When a Biblical reference was made to Adam and Eve as the origin of feminine suppression, she Tuesday, November 28, 1972 University Park Pennsylvania Vol. 73, No. 74 10 pages Published by Students of The Pennsylvania State University salary-wise indicating to the legislature how much money is needed for salary,” Zemel said. She added that a bargaining unit would be able to codify “faculty par ticipation in decision making processes in the University ” According to Zemel, faculty members at University Park and on the branch campuses, have less in common than the University Administration thinks. “As defined by the state master plan and University’s academic policy plan, our mission as campuses is different from that of University Park,” Zemel said. “A separate bargaining unit would enhance that.” “We are primarily a teaching cam pus,” she added. “At University Park, much more emphasis is placed on research. Therefore, the value systems are different.” behalf of HOPS for the convention. According to the HOPS newspaper Zap, the convention will be attended by representatives of every homophile organization in the state, as well as some out-of-state gays. The purpose of the convention is to discuss the gay rights platform and to submit an approved version to state legislators, HOPS members said. The 13-plank platform was drawn up at the Pittsburgh convention and sent to individual homophile groups for con sideration. HOPS members showed approval for most of the planks, but the more con troversial ones generated some discussion at last night’s meeting. Generally accepted were planks calling for reform in the areas of mental health treatment as related to homosexuals, a gay person’s right to employment without discrimination due to his sexual orientation, providing in formation about homosexuality through the schools and the rights of gay prisoners. rape or incest or if the woman's physical or mental health is endangered. He asked the legislature to recall the bill to make these changes, but the House, under the urging of Rep. Martin Mullen, D-Philadelphia, is expected to turn Shapp down tomorrow. If Shapp vetoes the bill, Mullen said he will move to override, probably on Thursday. A two-thirds vote in each chamber is needed to override Shapp’s veto. Away from the floor action this week, A House-Senate conference committee will continue attempts to hammer out a compromise r.o-fault car insurance bill. Some conferees reported making progress last, week and the informal talks will resume today. If no agreement is reached, Shapp has promised to make no-fault his No. 1 priority next year. No-fault pays benefits to auto accident victims regardless of who was at fault. A House-passed bill stripping the Human Relations Commission of power to order school desegregation is in position for a final Senate vote, but it is uncertain whether legislators will want about comm said, “Woman did not come from Adam’s rib but from his backbone.” Following Schlafly’s talk, Fred C. Schwarz, president of the Crusaders, conducted a session on how to most effectively win an audience over. He allowed mem bers to make three-minute speeches on the merits of their cause, followed by his criticism. Content is not important in winning the audience Schwarz said, but rather the delivery used. Schwarz added, “We want to teach how we can efficiently confer the maximum benefit to the maximum number of people.” Beneath all this, Schwarz said, “American opinion is the journal of the John Birch Society.” To uncover all these latent beliefs, the CACC has a pamphlet entitled, “How to Conduct an Anti- Communism Study Class.” The course comes complete with records, texts and workbooks. The prerequisites for organization president are easy: “All that is required is to be able to read, write and turn on a record player.” Having grasped those essentials, the novice is ready to get down to basics. In summary: “Communism exists. It is evil. The Communist According to Zemel, the ad ministrative structure for the faculty at University Park is different from the structure for branch campuses Zemel, assistant professor of math at Ogontz campus, said, “I am in the math department, but not on the department budget " Instead, there is a campus wide budget The University Administration does not see it that wav “The law, Act 195, gives a directive to the labor board to avoid over fragmentation of groups.” James M Elliott, University director of personnel relations, said “It is a sounder base of operations, if there were to be an organization that it represent all members of the faculty, rather than a portion of the faculty,” he added. Wright said the plank on employment was a result of the difficulty Penn State graduate Joseph Acanfora has had in obtaining a teaching position because of his admitted homosexualitv Raising some debate were planks involving public behavior of homosexuals, consensual sexual acts between adults and homosexuality as it relates to the church A question raised regarding public behavior was whether the platform should demand complete sexual freedom (such as for transvestites as well as homosexuals) or only freedoms for homosexuals. Rather than hold lengthy debate on the controversial planks, members were urged to study the complete platform if they felt changes were needed and to comment on them before the convention In other business. HOPS coordinators said they hoped Zap would begin mon thly publication next term The first issue was released last night. They said a HOPS counseling service would begin the second week of Winter Term to deal with the controversial measure in the closing days. The bill, designed to halt student busing to achieve racial integration, was reported out of committee last week after a quick meeting. Other bills that could get final ap proval this week would provide free transit rjdes for the elderly, extend property tax assistance to about 600,000 senior citizens, limit school districts on how much they can spend on new schools, make employers pay for black lung payments to miners, give school districts $43 million for special educational programs financed out of revenue sharing money, and ap propriate $35 million for pay raises to 90,000 state employes Weather Cloudy today with rain beginning early this evening, high 40 Turning colder with rain tonight, low 31.

Films are offered such as “Dead Men on Furlough: A thrilling story of a Korean pastor who stood up against the Communists during the Korean War and remained loyal to his Christian faith. Actual scenes from the war are included." Besides presenting the teaching materials, Schwarz testified before the House Committee on Un- American Activities in May 1957. during the McCarthy era. In the eyes of the Church, Schwarz must be doing something right. An en thusiastic comment from Richard Cardinal Cushing proclaimed, “You’re on the side of the angels, Fred!” ies
