By JIM BARR Collegian Staff Writer Despite heavy- student opposition, members of the University Calendar Commission voted Friday to restrict their study to the semester system. In three identical 11 to tvotes, the com mission first rejected the present term system, then any term system, then all other possible systems except the semester. The vote was not far final recom mendation, but only to concentrate study on four types of semester calendars to decode which might be the best for Penn State. - The commission did not completely rule out the other alternatives. They decided the other options be reevaluated if the semester system proves un workablC The votes followed reports from two tudent groups that polls taken on the issue showed student opinion heavily in favor of retaining the present term system or a term system without Christ mas break at the beginning of Winter Term. House "The country is probably in - the worst crisis since the early 1930'5." Pamela Levandoski; vice-president of the Undergraduate Student Givernment Academic Assembly, told commission members that a poll taken by Academic Assembly last week showed that of students responding, 323 favored keeping the term system, compared with 56 who wanted to change a 6 to 1 margin. Joe Taglieri, student representative to the University Faculty Senate, said a poll taken by the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences Student Council also was running in favor of keeping the term. However, he added that final results of the poll will not be available until today. After the meeting, Commission Chair man Asa Berlin said the commission's vote should not be taken as a sign that the commission is ignoring student opinion. He said students do not under stand all the dimensions of the issue and tend to vote only for what they know. slit 'inere was strong oppositio from students when the University ged from the semester to the term s s min 1962, he said.

By STEVE AUERWECK Collegian Staff Writer Inflation was the issue' as the two candidates for U.S. Congress from the 23rd District met face-to-face Friday morning for the first time. Republican incumbent Albert W. Johnson and Yates Mast, his Democratic challenger, were guest speakers at a State College Area Chamber of COmmerce meeting in the Hotel State College. While Johnson and Mast agreed that President Ford's proposed five per cent tax surcharge is not the answer to in flation, they split on almost everything else, with Johnson supporting lower federal spending and business interests as Mast plugged away for "the little guy" labor, small businessmen and senior citizens. The two candidates eact, spoke for 15 minutes, Mast first, then took 20 minutes of qu4tions from the floor. Mast opened his segment with "a very somber message." "The country is probably in the worst crisis since the early 1930'5," he said. "We've 'had six years of drift and inef ficiency, and you know what we're paying." _ - Mast warned of a depression bylate January, and attacked the "minor little Band-Aid-type approaches to the problem." Tax reform was the main solution Mast offered, calling the U.S. tax system "the most unfair and unjust of any country in the world." He noted that th'e tax act has grown to 12 volumes and almost 6,000 sections, and said he would press for removal of 58 major loopholes. "Don't. be taken by little simplistic things like deficit spending is the whole cause," Mast warned, saying there are at least six other causes, including high interest rates (which he blamed on. the Federal Reserve), the outflow of money to foreign oil countries and large conglomerates. Johnson, in response, said, "Congress is the culprit," referring to a number of instances where the Democratically controlled Congress appropriated more funds than former President Nixon had requested. He gave numerous examples of his own attempts to hold down federal spending, and approved of a recently established budget control committee in the Congress. "We must fix a budget and live within that figure," Johnson said. "If we do that you will never see another increase in the national debt." Johnson commended Ford's inflation speech, with its suggestions for action by the executive branch, the Congress ("though it's not as'fmuch as you might expect") and the people. He also said he would support a 600-page tax reform bill which is due to be introduced after the present Congressional recess. He said the bill would raise 66-1.0 billion without the five per cent surcharge, and added that the bill should include most of the tax reforms Mast suggested. In the question period, Mast answered by saying there is not nearly enough in the tax reform bill "Wilbur Mills has ;been fooling around with," a line that sent a wave of laughter' over the audience. rd, Mexican president on trade, oil and illegal migrants Ford and Alvarez will confer on both sides of the border In the area of Nogales, two cities with the same name facing each other across the in ternational line between Arizona and Sonora, Mexico. Bilateral issues were expected to take precedence over such hemispheric matters as the Inter-American system in general and Cuba in particular. The oil issue came to the fore only a week ago, following press reports of the discovery of rich petroleum fields in southeastern Mexico, with recoverable reserves of high-grade crude estimated at 'anywhere between I and 20 billion barrels. The importance of Mexico's new oil find was underscored yesterday when a spokesman for the Mexican president announced that Echeverria will bring his two top oil experts to the meeting with Ford. Echeverria spent yesterday in remote Cabo San Lucas, Baja California, preparing for the talks. He met there with natural resources minister Horacio de la Pena and with Antonio Devali, the president of the government-owned petroleum company Pemex. Both will accompany Echeverria to Nogales, the spokesman said. The spokesman had no immediate reaction to a Latin American news agency report from Washington that Ford would offer to authorize entry of a limited number of Mexican farm workers if Mexico would help police the 'j , Mills, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, drew national attention two weeks ago after being stopped for drunk driving. He was in the company of an "exotic dancer," likewise drunk, who ran out of his car and jumped in the nearby tidal basin. The plight of senior citizens ranked second to inflation on Friday morning, as Mast noted that a senior citizens group rated Johnson as voting wrong on 10 key votes out of 11. Mast called this a disgrace, saying it came at a time when "kome of these people are eating' pet food." Johnson pointed out that the group doing the rating is af filiated - with the AFL-CIO, and criticized the labor organization's demands. He then listed seven of the votes Mast referred to, explaining his position on each one. On most of them he disagreed with labor's asking for a o`budget-breaking figure," that is, one which was higher than the president's request. He also opposed federal aid to mass transit ("My people are not interested in financing trolley lines in Pittsburgh or Philadelphia"), and a legal services corporation ("All those lawyers have done is try-to put through social issues as lawyers on the federal payroll"). Mast said Johnson's contact with the district is inadequate, noting that Johnson has but one office, 110 miles from State College, and prie field representative. "I guarantee you that if I am elected there will be at least four and probably five offices," Mast said, "and one's going to be right here in State College." Johnson defended his system, saying he had opened ad ditional offices when he was first elected, but "the person sat around the office most of the time!' He pointed out that the biggest industry in Centre County is Penn State, which has its own field representative in Washington: He said that a bill has just been passed to establish three or four huge diabetic research centers, and that he is working to have Penn State's Hershey Medical Center named as one. On campaign contributions, Mast pressed for public financing of elections, saying, "Once a man!accepts them (large gifts), is he really his own man anymore?" Mast also said he would refuse contributions from labor if he were on the Education and Labor Committee, for example, or from lawyers if he were on the Judiciary Committee. Johnson, who is the second-ranking minority member on Banking and Currency, has accepted many gifts from banking organizations. Johnion agreed that contributions from vested interests can 4,te a problem, singling out several Democrats who accept lhrge gifts from labor. But he said a candidate needs at least $lO,OOO to finance a campaign, so "that's the way it's got to be: After questioning ( was cut off promptly at •9:30 a.m., a Johnson aide was heard to say, "He (Mast) was s trying to debate you up there, but I got you out of it." "Thank you," Johnson replied, clapping the aide on the shoulder, "Thank you." _ border against clandestine entry. "The Mexican government wants an agreement with the United States whereby our citizens who work in the United States will have legal protection and receive humane and just treat ment," he saki. "We are ready to sign an agreement to set an annual quota of workers." Rogers C.B. Morton, recently named to head a new national energy program, told a M.S.Sd nate committee this week that reports of the new oil find in Mexico's Tabasco and Chiapas states made the Ford-Echeverria• meeting "very timely." Echeverria said in Mexico City Saturday the size df the new petroleum fields had been exaggerated abroad in an attempt to drive down world oil prices. And Horacio , Flores de la Pena, the natural resources minister, has declared that Mexico will "not sell a single barrel of below prices being charged by the Arab countries: The immigration problem is much older. After agreement was reached last year on salinity of the Colorado River, the problem of illegal Mexican migrants entering the United 'States by the millions each year moved to the forefront of controversial issues out standing between the two North American neighbors. Mexico has repeatedly asked the United States to revive the "bracero" program scrapped 10 years ago. Mexico's Foreign Secretary Emilio to meet Rabasa has had at least three meetings with Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger and one with President Ford in Washington on the matter. Mexico is asking the United States to establish a mutually agreeable annual quota for entry of Mexican migiant workers into the United States. It also wants guarantees that the Migrants be given the same treatment as U.S. farm workers. But the Mexican efforts, despite promises by Kissinger, .have been fruitless so far. U.S. officials said Washington recently informed Mexico it wps unable to agree on a new "bracero" program. :;.• Perhaps of greater long-term significance will be the talks on trade. since Mexico's economy is over whelmingly tied to that of the United States. Mexico is the United States' largest client in Latin America and its fifth largest in the world. At the same time, over 70 per cent of Mexico's ex ports go to U.S. markets. U.S. and Mexican chigfs of state have met on both sides of the border since Presidents William Howard Taft and Porfirio Diaz got together in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, in 1909.
