Intelligence Committee chairman, for
opposing the choice of Ambassador
George Bush to succeed Colby
Nessen said Ford called Colby to the
White House and asked him to remain

three-to-one margin.
That would leave Colby in charge for
another month or more no date for
confirmation hearings has been set.
Bush will also take part in Ford's late
November China visit.
Ford fired Colby last weekend as part
of a power shuffle that also ousted
Defense Secretary James Schlesinger
and stripped Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger of his national security job.
At a news briefing, Nessen defended
Ford's choice of replacement personnel
and denied he had failed to explain his
moves adequately.
"From everything I know the
President has stated precisely what he
did and why he did it," Nessen said. "He
did it entirely himself. He worked out the
pieces himself.
"The President believes they were all
the_ right decisions. I think after a little
time people will see after this thing
settle down people will see the proper
thing was done."
Nessen seemed especially irked with
Church, who suggested Ford fired Colby
to obstruct the intelligence panel's CIA
investigation.
"He seems to be more interested in
making headlines than conducting an
investigation," Nessen said.
Friedan optimistic in defeat
By LEAH ROZEN
Collegian Staff Writer
It was a downcast Betty Friedan who spoke at
University Auditorium last night. In less than a month,
the author of "The Feminine Mystique" has faced two
major defeats.
Last month, at its annual conference, the National
Organization for Women (NOW), which Friedan
founded in 1966, moved to support what Friedan con
siders a radical ideology which will "alienate the
majority of women."
Then, adding insult to injury, state Equal Rights
Amendments (ERA) were defeated at the polls in New
York and New Jersey in Tuesday's elections.
But Friedan does not think the Women's movement is
over, not by a long shot.
"The reality of the women's movement is that it, is
really changing lives ... and it is beginning to change
institutions," she assured the 1,200 persons in the
audience . "I don't think it's over. I think it's just
beginning."
Expressing disappointment and obvious anger,
Friedan hit hard at thel "younger women'"who got into
the movement to "trnslate their own rage to the
doctrine of class warfare and then to viewing man as
the enemy."
Such women have taken the movement to what
Friedan considers the extreme idea of saying women
must abandon motherhood and men.

Sadat asks U.S.-Palestine
WASHINGTON (UPI) Egyptian
President Anwar Sadat, in a speech to a
joint meeting of Congress yesterday.
called on the United States "in the most
emphatic terms" to es44blish contact
with the Palestinians to-bring about a
true peace in the Middle East.
The visiting Arab leader said he had
come to Washington seeking un
derstanding, not aid, and urged the
United States to refrain from spurring
the awls race in the Middle East.
&at received a polite but restrained
welcome from a Congress, which
historically has been an Israeli partisan
in Middle East affairs.
Speaking in English, Sadat told
members of the House and Senate:
"The Palestinian question is the hear(
and core of the entire dispute. Once
solved, all other outstanding issues can
be solved, thus realizing the hopes of
many of us who are striving to make
peace a living reality."
He said the United States "remains as
the sole dissenter in the long overdue
trend of establishing contacts with the
Palestinians" and noted that "contacts
bring understanding ... understanding
helps develop solutions."

University Coalition to picket trustees
By JOHN CHILD
Collegian Staff Writer
The University Coalition will picket
the closed committee meetings of the
Board of Trustees tomorrow in an effort
to force the Board to open the Univer
sity's books by Winter Term if tuition is
increased.
Nessen also rejected Church's con
tention that partisan political service as
former Republican party national
chairman disqualifies Bush to head the
CIA.
"The President feels the fact that he
has run for office will make him more
sensitive to the peoples' desire," Nessen
said. "Clearly, service as an official of a
political party should not disqualify
someone for higher service.
"So frank Church is wrong,"
He also denied reports that Kissinger
instigated Schlesinger's firing because
the two men disagreed over detente
policy, and that Schlesinger's successer
White House chief of staff Donald
Rumsfeld would be more compliant.
Elsewhere, a diplomatic source close
to Schlesinger told UPI he was certain
Kissinger did not seek Schlesinger's
ouster and that there was no major
policydisagreement between them. This
source said he believed Schlesinger was
fired because he clashed too strongly
with Congress on the issue of the Pen
tagon budget.
"I don't understand reports that Don
Rumsfeld is soft on communism,"
Nessen said adding that was "half
joking" with that choice of words.
Attacking the women in the movement who claim
that women's liberation and lesbianism are inex
tricably. tied, Friedan said, "This is wrong and very
bad. It is diversionary for the women's movement.
"The great majority of women are not going to
abandon their children. By denying the sexual nature
of the majority of women, you will alienate most
women."
Friedan presented her version of the recent history
of the women's movement and its future, which she
views as the complete restructuring of society's in
stitutions.
According to Friedan, the development of technology
in the twentieth century made it impossible for a
woman to be fulfilled by the diminishing duties of
_housekeeping and child care.
"Motherhood could no longer be the identifying fact
of every woman's life her whole life long," she said.
Freed from daily drudgery by advances in
technology, women had extra time on their hands.
"They became isolated from society," Friedan said.
They spent the entire day at home with "nobody over 3
feet tall to talk to."
This resulted in feelings of anger and bitterness
which led to the raising of women's consciousness, a
step Friedan views as the first move toward the birth
of the women's movement.
"We first had to call ourselves persons," she said
"We had to break through the Feminine Mystique."
Sadat said he is aware of growing
support for Palestinians among
Congress, but said "much remains to be
done and the aggrieved cannot be ex
pected to wait long."
"Therefore, I urge you, in the most
emphatic terms, to lend the Palestinian
people your understanding and support.
Help them to overcome despair and
frustration," he said.
Failure to do so, he said, "is but an
open invitation to violence, negativism
and extremism."
On other matters, Sadat said he "did
not come here seeking aid or soliciting
promises and commitments. Rather, I
came to extend to you and all Americans
a hand of friendship and un
derstanding."
But he said bluntly, "We expect the
United States to cooperate with us in our
drive to set in motion the process of an
overall , settlement that tackles all
aspects of the Middle East conflict. We
expect it to refrain from spurring the
arms race in the area, for this would
certain lead to the renewal of armed
conflict."
The Coalition also wants a more
proportional representation of students
and faculty on the 33-member Board.
Presently there is one voting student
member on the Board. The rest are
elected by the alumni, and various
agricultural and industrial societies;
President of the University, Secretaries
of Agriculture, Educatiori and Environ
mental Resources.
Penn State's budget is already a year
old when it is released to the public, said
Coalition President Rick Hesketh, and is
not adequately broken-down.

As he spoke, •the House International
Relations Committee announced it will
hold public hearings today on President
Ford's request for $2.24 billion in
military and economic aid to Israel and
$750 million in economic aid to Egypt
Concerning bilateral relations, Sadat
said: "I am not addressing you as an
ally but as a true friend who is most
willing to support you when you are right
and equally ready to draw your attention
when we believe you are wrong."
"I will not attempt to lure you with the
illusion that our interests are identical
with yours," he said. "But we have
always admired many things in America
and looked forward to the day when we
work together towards a better un
derstanding."
Ford and Sadat had their last official
meeting at 4:40 p.m. EST in the
President's Oval office in the White
House before Sadat's departure from
Andrews Air Force base for London.
Sadat is to confer with British officials
en route to Egypt.
Ford, dressed in a gray suit with red
stripes, and Sadat, wearing a dark blue,
pin-striped suit,_ talked jovially as
1968 and 1972 the "General Expenses" of
the University increased from $8.2
million to $27.3 million. The Coalition
wants to know where this money is being
spent.
In an open letter to the Board mem
bers the Coalition asked: "Why, when
$3.7 million remained unspent at the end
of fiscal year 1971-1972, was tuition in
creased by $75.00 for Pennsylvania
residents at University Park campus
two months later?"
The Coalition acknowledged that
Friday afternoon's meeting of the Board
is open to the public, but said in its letter
3 COPIES
The actual organization of the women's movement
started in 1966 with the founding of NOW, she said.
"We needed the social and political equality that was
our human and American birthright," Friedan said.
"We had to break through the barriers that
discriminate against us."
Those involved with NOW were the "mainstream of
the American women's movement," Friedan said
They favored changing the economic and political
system, restructuring marriage and the family, and
ending sex discrimination.
Friedan said she believes that many of these battles
already have been won. She pointed to what she called
breakthroughs in ending quotas on women in
professional schools, suits brought against broad
casting companies which discriminate against women,
churches which are now accepting women ministers
and more.
"But how much of it is really real? What does it all
mean? So where do we go?", she asked.
"I'm not denying that some men are the enemy," she
said. "But men as a class are fellow victims We are
both locked into sex-roles." - '
Friedan said the future of the women's movement
will depend on women looking to new allies. "We've got
to put human priorities first," she said.
"The revolution is what we've been doing, Now
we've got to face the implication of what we've done.
and that is to look for a fundamental restructuring. We
must assert human priorities in all institutions."

photographers recorded the meeting
As Sadat departed, Undersecretary of
State Joseph A. Sisco told reporters Ford
had given the Egyptian no firm com
mitments of U S. military aid.
"There were no specific commitments
made," Sisco said "Obviously, this is an
issue that in time will have to be ad
dressed, but this is basically where it
stands."
He said Ford did promise Sadat he
would keep up U.S. efforts to bring about
a second-stage military disengagement
between Israel and Syria as the next step
toward lasting peace in the Middle East
"As part of that," Sisco said. "we have
called back our Ambassador from
Damascus to participate in the review of
the situation."
His briefing substituted for the joint
U.S. Egyptian communique that had
been expected but was not issued.
"I would not candidly attach any
significance whatsoever to there being
no communique issued," he said "We
felt and they felt that what had to be said
had been said in the public statements."
"I would not read any hidden designs"
into the lack of a communique. he said.
that "these open meetings serve no
function other than to rubber stamp
decisions already made in the closed
committee sessions."
The letter to the Board said that these
public meetings are only held to
"provide a showcase of administrative
responsiveness to comply with the
'Sunshine Law'." The "Sunshine Lav,"
was passed by the Pennsylvania
legislature to increase public access lo
public decision-making bodies.
