He said Lie crew of the big jet may have been relying on traffic controllers to bring them in when the plane crashed just 23 miles west of Washington's Dulles- In ternational Airport and about five miles north of Upperville, Va. Rescue teams found the fog-shrouded crash site lit tered with burning debris, shattered trees and the broken bodies of all 85 passengers and 7 crew members aboard the plane. Otders put out by the Federal Aviation Ad ministration since the crash, which said permission to begin an approach does not treatment and tests. He is not allowed to have visitors or calls." Ullman, during a long, rambling conversation with reporters, prefaced many of his remarks with "I'm going to d 0...," or "It's my intention to J." as though it ware a foregone conclusion he will be the next chairman. Ullman, already had won a major victory, obtaining for the committee the right to reorganize now and skirt new restrictions to be placed on Democrats next year by the reform-minded Democratic Caucus. A new mean a pilot can disregard his charts information about safe minimum altitudes, conflict with practices that have beep established in dealings between pilots and controllers over the years, O'Donnell said. A traffic controller had cleared the jetliner to make its landing approach minutes before the crash, the safety board report said, and the plane immediately began descending to the airport approach altitude. Investigators offered no explanation why the pilot started his descent on the west side of the mountain range instead of waiting until he was , safely on the east. The caucus Tuesday adopted a resolution barring committee members from serving on more than two subcommittees. But the resolution carried an ex ception for members already serving on those sub committees when the next Congress is organized beginning Jan. 14. Welfare HARRISBURG (AP) A proposal to give Pennsylvania welfare recipients a six per cent grant increase has been sidelined indefinitely by the Shapp administration. Welfare Secretary Helene Wohlgemuth, who first suggested the possibility of the boost last spring, said unemployment and other economic factors have interfered with the plans. "We would certainly like to provide an increase at the earliest possible date," Wohlgemuth said in an interview. "But the economic situation is so uncertain at this point that we can't be sure we'll have the necessary funds." A six per cent increase in payments to roughly 115,000 welfare recipients would cost the state between $l5 million and $2O million over the next six months, according to budget analysts. The precise cost is uncertain because raising benefits also change eligibility standards. The current federally-supported program of Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) provides $328 a month for an'average family of four. The amount varies from county to county, depending on local costs for housing and utilities, from $286 a month in Forest County to $349 a month in Bucks County. Federal food stamps may provide an additional $6l worth of food each month, but only if the family can afford to buy its allotment of stamps after paying for rent, clothing and fuel. Many recipients say they can't afford the food stamp program. i "An increase is very badly needed," Wohigemuth said Last spring Gov. Shapp issued an executive order raising the average level of welfare grants by 11 per cent statewide. It was the first increase since 1970. Shortly after the boost took effect in April, Wohlgemuth HARRY'S DOWNSTAIRS presents - OAK LEAF • This Friday and Saturday Music and dancing till 2 a.m. Domestic and imported beer on tap Entrance at corner of College Ave. and Sowers St. or through Bottle Shop Happy Hours 4-7 P.M.

DeMille founded Hollywood University Council has no undergrad By JANICE SELINGER Collegian Staff Writer The University Council, an advisory group to University President John W. Oswald, is lacking a University Park undergraduate representative. Council Secretary Chester Gnatt said at yesterday's meeting that the terms of last year's representatives, Mark Singel and Leo Deegan, expired June 30. He said Singel graduated, but was asked by Chairman Provost Russell E. Larson to stay until another student can be picked. "The council sent a letter to the president of the Undergraduate Student Government last April informing him that the two terms would be ending and asking him to inform USG," Gnatt said. But, he added, no action has been taken The USG Executive Council usually „ nominates the student representatives, who - are then interviewed by Oswald, according to Council Vice Chairman Charles J. Smith. The graduate student representative Kenneth M. Novak's term will be over at the end of December but the Graduate Student Association (GSA) is already in the process of picking a new representative, Novak said. boost proposal delayed white cork 1. x 2' 25C 2' x 4' 94C it's really polystyrene dark cork r x 2' 90¢ 1' x 3' 1.20 it's really cork • \ f: !) it The GSA president makes the nomination and submits it to Oswald. At yesterday's meeting the council received a draft of an interim University policy on student record confidentiality. A council subcommittee will study this draft, recommend changes and point out unclear items in the next week and a half, Smith said. The draft must be approved by Jan. 1 in order to comply with the Buckley amend ment on confidentiality. The subcommittee consists of Novak; Richard F. Reynolds, assistant professor of mathematics at McKeesport Campus; Walter H. Walters, dean of the College of Arts and Architecture; and Dave Shaffer, Commonwealth Campus representative. The council also decided to recommend continuing the graduating student in structional evaluation questionnaire. The questionnaire asks graduating seniors to evaluate the effectiveness of the courses they took while at the University. The council decided to recommend its continuation after hearing what department heads had to say about last spring's evaluations, Smith said. appeared before the House Appropriations Committee to ask support for a $420 million public assistance appropriation for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1974. She told the committee that reforms within• her department should save about $l5 million enough to move ahead with another six per cent increase on Jan. 1, 1975, barring un foreseen economic developments. The legislature eventually pared the request to $404 million, but Wohlgemuth said she still was optimistic about a welfare increase until recently, when unemployment began to soar. "Unemployment is reflected in our rolls after a lag of six to nine months, when the people stop receiving unemployment compensation and are forced to turn' to welfare," Wohlgemuth said. • "The analysis that we've seen say there won't be any downturn in unemployment until far into 1975 ... So we're afraid to grant a welfare increase now that would create a deficit situation later on." Eileen Shane, Wohlgemuth's special assistant on welfare matters, said the average size of the welfare caseload in November was 716,055 persons, up from 687,462 persons last January. The caseload remained fairly steady through the first half of 1974, reaching 690,318 persons in June. It immediately began climbing in the second half of the year, in part becauge of the economy and in part because the April welfare increase made more persons eligible for assistance, according to Shane. In September, the average caseload crossed the 700,000 mark, reaching 704,216. It is expected to climb above 720,000 this month. . I . . . STUDENTS . . • .
