Nixon resignation urged By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Three U.S. senators two Demo crats and one Republican urged President Nixon to resign rather than subject the country to a possible impeachment. All three made the comments in broadcast interviews yesterday. Sens Edward W. Brooke, R- Mass., and Claiborne Pell, D-R.1., appeared on WTEV in New Bed ford, Mass. Sen. Abraham Ribicoff, D-Conn.. was on WABC's "Eyewitness News Conference." Brooke said the impeachment process is "something the country should not be put through" and added he has "reluctantly" suggested that Nixon should resign. Jackson gas rationing possible WASHINGTON (AP)—Sen. Henry M. Jackson. whose subcommittee on in vestigations held three days of hearings last week on the energy crisis, said yesterday that gasoline rationing may be necessary by the second quarter - of the year unless the Arab nations resume oil shipments. "I believe the present situation clearly indicates that in the second quarter we're going to be in a posture where gas rationing may well be. a reality," he said. "I don't think there's much doubt about it unless there are some developments overseas which would indicate that we will get extra crude material." The president of the American Petroleum Institute. Frank N. Ikard, said he would oppose rationing except as a last resort. "We think the gasoline situation will be extremely tight in the spring and the late spring and early summer," he said on the NBC program "Meet the Press." "Hopefully, if everything goes well we will not have to ration." Jackson, D-Wash., said that to avoid "deep trouble" after April 1 "we'd probably need one million barrels a day" of Arab oil. He said 900,000 barrels were arriving directly from Arab nations before the oil embargo began last autumn. He appeared on the CBS program Face the Nation." Reminded that Secretary of State Henry A.

"If the President can and will submit evidence that supports his in nocence, then I think he has the obligation to do so forthwith." Pell said that Nixon's resignation "would be the best thing all the way around." Ribicoff'.said a presidential resignation "would make life a lot easier for the people of this coun try...lt would unite them again, rather than keep them divided." He said he did not think there were enough votes in the House of Representatives for impeachment and added, "Public opinion is against the President... The people doubt his ability to lead. The American people would breathe a sigh of relief if Nixon were no longer president." Ribicoff also said the President had been "so tied up with Watergate" that he did not have time to deal adequately with pressing national issues like the energy crisis. indicates embargo will end soon—a point with which Ikard agreed—Jackson said: "It is simply not a reliable basis on which to plan." • Discussing fuel prices, Ikard said he did not think gasoline priges would reach the Sl-a-gallon level some have predicted. Jackson, the floor manager of the emergency energy legislation before the Senate, said he favors: —Adjusting the oil depletion allowance by lowering it for large companies and raising it for small in dependent firms. —Providing tax incentives to promote using capital for increased drilling, and —A bill directing automobile manufacturers to produce cars that will reduce gasoline use by 50 per cent within the next 10 years. The emergency energy bill is expected to come up for a vote in the Senate on Tuesday. It could be before the House later in the week. Jackson said the hearings held by the permanent subcommittee on in vestigations, of which he is chairman, "ended corporate secrecy in the oil industry." "We established public ac countability," he said. "We ended this idea that they're a law unto themselves. Overseas they had been operating as if they had direct authority from the State Department to conduct American foreign and defense policy."

As an energy-saving measure passed by the U.S. Congress. most Americans turned their clocks ahead one hour Jan. 6. The question now is whether this action is effective in saving energy. John Novotny, manager of the West Penn Power Nittany Division, said it is almost impossible to say if energy is saved with Daylight Savings. He ex- plained that many variables enter into studies made, which depend on each individual's use of electricity. "Everyone is being more conscious about wasting electricity," was James Kemrpler's reaction to reduced elec tricity usage. Kemmler, assistant personnel officer for the University's physical plant, said Daylight Savings may have helped to distribute uses of power by reducing peak periods of usage. He added, however, "What we save there (in the evening), we use in the morning." Kemmler said there should be a power savings in late February and early March, because sunrise will come earlier in the morning then. Presently the sun rises about 8:30 a.m., and sets about 6:00 p.m. The shift in times brought about by Daylight Savings caused several problems for school districts across the nation. State College Area School AWS cites tokenism to select committee representative The Association for Women Students refuses to select a representative for the student trustee selection committee, AWS President Dorene Robotti said Friday. "We feel USG ( Undergraduate Student Government) in all its great wisdom has heard all the concerns of the minorities and others concerned. USG has been selected to represent the students. They should make the decision with the Graduate Student Association," Robotti said. Later disclaimers by the ambassador, Fernando Lopez Muino, and the Cuban Foreign Ministry that his statements were misinterpreted ,did little to dampen talk about such a possibility. Fueling such Comment is the scheduled appearan'ce of Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger at a meeting of foreign ministers of the Organization of American States in Mexico City early next month. B GLENDA GEPIIART Collegian Senior Reporter News analysis By BARB WHITE Collegian Staff Writer She said she asked a USG senator why AWS was asked to select someone and he replied, "We were afraid not to." Robotti said there are many women's groups on campus, and AWS might not represent all women students. "AWS U.S. ties stronger Fresh from negotiating a Middle East District was not alone in receiving complaints from parents whose children had to walk to school or wait for buses in the dark. John Dittmaur, director of community relations for the local district, said a two-week period was used to test the possibilities of keeping the schools at their regular opening hours. However, at its Jan. 21 meeting the school board voted to delay opening times for elementary and secondary schools by a half-hour. Closing times will remain the same. It was primarily a safety factor which brought the decision, Dittmaur said. There are many children in the borough who walk and when it is raining or snowing in the morning it is even darker, he added. The school board chose a half-hour delay through a compromise with working people in the State College School District, Dittmaur said. A compromise on opening times was needed because local industries and businesses retained their usual hours, he explained. Despite the loss of bus drivers due to class and job conflicts with the new school hours, Dittmaur said. "So far it has worked out very well and we com mend the citizens in this area for their cooperation." At its Feb. 11 meeting the school board will review the situation to determine if the new hours will continue, he said, On the Daylight Savings measure as a whole, Dittmaur is pessimistic. As far as this area is concerned I was singled out. I do not feel one women's group should have any kind of say. "I am sure some people will say we are neglecting women. But I think it would have been worse if we had selected someone and not taken a stand. - Robotti said she thinks it is tokenism for AWS to select a representative for the committee. "I don't like tokenism or quota systems. I think they hurt the women's movement. "I am sure the people on the selection committee, even if there are no women on it, will be sensitive to women's needs," Robotti said. "By letting minorities choose someone for the committee it is saying no one else is sensitive to the needs of minorities. And by letting Academic Assembly choose someone it is saying no one else is agreement between Israel and Egypt, Kissinger may."' be seeking a breakthrough in the 15-year-old "little cold war" between this country and the Castro regime, some commentators say. Some foreign observers believe Russia would welcome a Cuban-American arrangement and that Brezhnev will push for this in his talks with Castro. But officially, both Washington and Havana say nothing has happened to change their positions. Photo by J • Monday. January 28, 1974 Vol. 74, No. 93 12 pages University Park, Pennsylvania Published by Students of The Pennsylvania State University don't think we're saving. I'm sure the community is using more electricity," he said He said people in this area get up at 6:45 to 7 a.m. while it is still dark Dittmaur is not the only one who feels this way about the value of Daylight Savings. The Associated Press last week reported that U.S. Rep. George Goodling has introduced a bill to repeal Daylight Savings. The Pennsylvania Congressman is quoted as saying, "It is hard for me to understand how one saves energy just by shifting our - energy-consuming efforts from the evening to the morning This, to me, is just a transfer of energy consuming hours and has nothing to do with saving energy." Results of a nationwide utilities survey taken by the AP show Daylight Savings generally has brought a reduced elec tricity consumption of a fraction of one per cent. But a spokesman for the Edison Electric Institute, a group compiling nationwide statistics, said the decrease in electricity usage cannot be attributed to any one factor. He said economic conditions, weather and conservation efforts all have some effect, the AP reports. Kemmler said a study is being con ducted on campus use of power and fuel. He said it will compare amounts used in January and February of this year to those of the same months of last year. "It won't give us a lot of information. but I do anticipate a savings, most probably due to people being more sensitive to academics," she added. Academic Assembly President Joseph Kaplan said if USG chooses someone for the committee who is not an Academic Assembly member, that representative would "not be as sensitive to academic needs as someone in Academic Assembly who is working daily with new programs and new ideas for their colleges." Kaplan said the committee should "definitely have someone on it from Academic Assembly." Black caucus President. Lee Coffer said concerning Robotti's suggestion that USG choose the selection committee members rather than interest groups, "USG can't choose anyone. We will choose someone that represents us (minorities). If AWS feels USG can represent them, fine. Let USG choose for them then. "We don't feel USG represents minorities. I don't think they can choose anyone for us. "Robotti has more confidence in USG than I do. If I felt the way she does, I would not have stopped the selection process before," he said. Coffer said he wanted to make sure the minorities on the selection committee are not "just tokens, and will have a say in the selection." Robotti said, "You could have a committee of five or six representatives io hung up on their own thing they cannot work together. That kind of selection committee will be looking for what the applicant does not know rather conscious."
