Warns Marxist supporters
Junta • uries, Allende
SANTIAGO, Chi,le (AP) The new
military junta ' yesterday buried
Salvador Allende and then was reported
formally to have taken over power in a
ceremony at Bernardo O'Higgins
Military School.
The official radio said a new cabinet
was sworn in at the ceremony but the
names of the ministers were not
released.
There had been rumors the coup
leaders were considering Gabriel
Valdes, a former foreign minister and
now a top United Nations official, for the
presidency. But Baldes said yesterday in
Lima, Peru, on the first leg of a trip
home from New York, "I will accept no
offer for that kind of a job because I'm
happy with what I'm now doing."
Scattered resistance to the new
regime continued to be reported.
Unofficial sources estimated between
500 and 1,000 persons had been killed
since the military revolt Tuesday and

U.S. involvemnt charged
in Chilean military coup
WASHINGTON (AP) Amid official
denials of U.S. involvement in Chile's
military coup, the State Department
yesterday appeared disposed to bide its
time before making contact with the new
government leadership in Santiago.
The sensitivity of Washington's
relationship with the new military junta
was underscored by charges from leftist
groups here and in Latin America that
the responsibility for Tuesday's ouster of
President Salvador Allende lay not in
Santiago but in Washington.
Demonstrations :with anti-American
overtones were reported in Argentina,
Mexico and Costa Rica, among other
countries. In Washington, 150
demonstrators gathered near the White
House bearing placards saying, "Let
Chile's Democracy . Live."
State Department spokesman Paul
Hare said the coup was a Chilean
"internal matter" and no elements of
the U.S: government were involved.
Based on past experience, State
Department officials said it was not

"Sonietimes when nobody is around in
the summer, they (the administration)
do things which affect students," USG
President Mark Jinks commented.
Jinks attended meetings with
University officials this summer and
talked to a class of Campus Patrolmen.
In a session with State Secretary of
Education John C. Pittenger, Jinks and
USG Vice President Frank Muraca
discussed the student lobbyist. Since
USG cannot use state money to fund a
lobbyist the possibility of linking up with
other colleges and fund a lobbyist was
discussed.

colleges. We_will try to get foundation

a gunfight at the technical university

In another brief skirmish, soldiers
moved in and occupied the large state

Officials said the new . government
expelled 150 Cuban extremists from the
country Tuesday and escorted them to
the Argentine - border. At the United
Nations, Cuba said its diplomats were
belng expelled and expressed fear they
would be killed on their' way to the
airport.
Cuba's charge d'affaires at the United
Nations, Teofilo , Acosta, said he
telephoned Secretary -General Kurt
surprising that the United States was
accused of complicity in the takeover.
It was clear that Washington's policy
for the moment is to avoid too close an
initial identification with the junta. To do
otherwise, one official said, would only
- feed speculation that the United States
inspired the plot. It was understood
Washington would allow - several other
governments to recognize the junta
before it makes its move.
Prior to recognizing a new
government, the State Department
normally determines whether the
regime intends to observe its
international obligations and is in
effective control of the country. On the
latter point, reports of widespread

as labor unions," Jinks . explained.
Money from organizations can be used
only for political purposes. To get
around this, students would be used as
interns learning the political process in
Harrisburg.
"We would still have to raise our own
money for the physical things like
telephone's and supplies," he said.
In teaching a class of campus
patrolmen one hour a week for three
weeks, Jinks talked about student
attitudes toward the patrol.
"They have an attitude that if they are
not called pigs by the students, they are
doing a job," Jinks said.
In working with the University
Department of Safety, Jinks said he has
received cooperation ; "We raised issues
on patrolmen before Stormer got here,"
he Isaid. "Now there are no military
titles. The administrator I get along with

In Santiago, many people have been
stranded in office buildings and hotels
ever since the, coup, unable to return
home or go out for food. All businesses
were closed 'yesterday and the streets
were empty. l
Police officials threatened to "blow up
buildings if' necessary" to silence
snipers.
Communidations in the nation were
erratic and it was impossible to
determine conditions in other parts of
the country,' but the junta said in a
broadcast the nation of about 10 million
people was returning to normal
The military junta said Allende took
his life 2 p.m' Tuesday as troops entered
the downtown presidential palace after
Allende forces surrendered. Tanks
shelled the building and two air force
„jets hit it with bombs and rockets until
Allende gave ; up.
A communique issued yesterday
afternoon said the first military patrol
entering the 'building found Allende's
body. It was taken to a hospital and a
board of dodtors pronounced Allende
dead..
Allende was tiuried at noon yesterday,
the communique said, with only the
immediate family attending. Early
burial is normal in Latin America.
In his final ; radio broadcast, early
Tuesday -Morning as jets screamed
overhead, Allende told the nation he
would fight on, "even at the cost of my
life."
A police official said Allende shot
himself once= in the head with an
Automatic weapon that was a gift from
prime minister Fidel Castro of Cuba,
who spent,A month in Chile in 1971. The
official said the weapon was found
beside Allende's body in a second floor
dining hall.
Two members of the new junta Gen.
Augusto Pinochet, army commander-in
chief, and Gen. Gustavo Leigh Guzman,
air force commander were named to
their jobs two weeks ago by Allende, who
hoped to keep the. military loyal to his
government. The ,two other junta
members are Adm. Jose Toribino

Jinks said. He cited the example •of
attempting to educate students about
bike chains at registration as a new
outlook by the•patrol..
There will be no sniffing under doors
for drugs this year, Jinks emphasized.
"The drug policy is not to look for
(marijuana) smokers. They will go after
hard drug sellers first while the soft
users probably; don't have anything to
worry about," Jinks said.
The patrol still will bust the blatant
person, Jinks warned.
On the recent Encampment 1973, Jinks
expressed disappointment with much of
what was discussed.
Jinks also cited
_the story of an
administrator who said he does not listen
to USG because only 15 per cent of the
student body voted in the election.
According to Jinks, Oswald drafted a
statement on a major goal to "get
students involved on dicisions affecting
students." There has been no
implementation of Oswald's statement
by University, officials, Jinks added.
"The University often draws a
rationale for its actions. Rather than the
truth, they bullshit us," Jinks said.

The State College police began
0 enforcing the 1946 bicycle regulations
last week when they issued 14 tickets to
cyclists for going the wrong way on one
way streets and for locking bicycles to
borough light standards, meter posts
and street signs.
Mike laufler (Ist-engineeiing) told
the Collegian after he received a ticket
for riding on a .sidewalk yesterday, "I
think it's asstnine. It's ridiculous."
When asked why he was riding on the
sidewalk Haulier said, "I didn't want to

After seeing the two students receive
tickets, Richard Mansfield, assistant
professor of mathematics, told the

Winter Term 1974.
Presently, the leave of absence plan is
available only to associate and
baccalaureate degree students and
carries a four-term or one year absence
limit. Under special circumstances, the
leave can be extended a maximum of
eight terms or two years.
To obtain a leave of absence, a student
must complete the required form and
A State College policeman told the
Collegian the borough started enforcing
the regulations because they received
complaints about cyclists riding and
parking on sidewalks.
The policeman" said he would have
warned the students before enforcing the
regulations, but the students should have
known the' rules. The policeman also
said the borough should obtain bicycle
parking facilities and bicycle lanes if
possible.
None of the 16 cyclists the Collegian
interviewed said they had ever seen a
sidewalk congested by parked bicycles.
Matt Hodges (10th-art) 'told the
Collegian, "If they are going to enforce
the rule they sould get racks." There are
two bicycle racks downtown, one in front
of Hammond and one behind the Tavern
restaurant. Phyllis Berman, professor of
psychology said, "I do park on the
sidewalk, but I would use bike racks if
they put them up." Lindy Fink (11-

facilities if they make the rules."

Office.
If the student is attending University
Park, the dean of the student's college
must approve the leave of absence.
If the student is attending a
Commonwealth campus or Behrend
College, the campus director must
approve the leave of absence.
According to Warren R. Haffner,
director of the Division of Admissions,
Records and Scheduling, any student
who normally would be continuing his
studies the next term usually will be
allowed a leave of absence.
"Generally, we can't see why a leave
of absence would not be approved,"
Haffner said. There are times when a
dean might advise a student to continue
because of the structure of his major,
but if the student wished 4a leave of
absence he probably would. get one. .

All of the 16 cyclists agreed bike lanes
would be a good solution. Gary Honis
(7th-electrical engineering) said,
"There is lots of room for a bike lane on
College Avenue. It would help out a lot."
Jeff Browning (7th-pre-law) said, "It
would be a good idea to teach car drivers
how to ride with cyclists."
Cheryl Drum (sth-nutrition) said the
borough should have made known they
were going to enforce the rules. "They
should have put signs up," she said. The
16 cyclists agreed the rulings should
have been made known to students.
Five . of the 16 cyclists said they would
not pay the fine if they got one even
though there is a two day jail sentence
for not paying it.
Borough Councilman Jim McClure
told the Collegian Borough Council has
good intentions for bicycle parking but
nothing as definite yet.
Concerning ideas for bicycle parking
Borough Councilman Richard Kummer
said, "Within the next couple of weeks
we will see some trials."
McClure said bicycle racks pose
problems because they get in the way of

Albert, at his daily news conference,
added trade legislation as a possible
source of delay, but said he had been
assured that a bill will be ready for
House consideration early in October.
Priority appropriatioh - bills still to get
started in the House include those for
foreign aid, defense procurement and
military construction.
Other legislation on the leaders'
preferred list includes bills for urban
mass transit aid, school lunch programs,
reform of private pension systems,
elementary and secondary education
aid, fuel allocation and energy research.
Albert said the leaders' list "covers
most of the same gfieral areas" that
Nixon included in his second State of the
Union message .
The student then would return to the
University for the term indicated on his
form.
If the student returns earlier or later
than indicated , . he would haVe to file for
readmission.
Haffner said if the - degree
requirements change while the student
is on a leave of absence, he can follow
the requirements which were in effect
when he left. "We inserted this for the
protection of the student," Haffner said.
It is expected the new option will be
helpful in-encouraging students to attend
the University under a flexible
attendance pattern.
Haffner said this will help
administrators project course offerings
and plan for student returns.
Haffner said the new leave of absence
plan will allow the University to become
more flexible to student needs.

"not be an eyesore and not be in the way

"Many or us feel the state regulations
are insane. You can't treat a bicycle like
a car," McClure said. "The bike rider
must compete with cars and he comes
out only about tenth best," Kummer
added.
Concerning bicycles parked on
sidewalks, McClure said, "There is a
conflict situation, but I don't think it is so
serious we need to crack down. Till we
get something else we shouldn't be so
hard-nosed."
McClure said he did not think the
ticketing was a "calculated plan to
discourage bicycle riding, but it might
have that effect."
State College Police Chief Herbert
Straley said, "I am not an ogre and do
not want to discourage bicycle riding."
He added he rides a bicycle himself and
thinks riding is important in a
University community.
The police station offers six pamphlets
concerning bicycling. Straley said State
College Police soon will propose a
solution for cars, pedestrians and
bicycles to Council for consideration.
