U.N. to
discuss
'copter
incident
SEOUL, South Korea ( AP) The
United Nations Command has agreed to
a North Korean proposal that the
Military Armistice Commission meet
tomorrow to discuss the shooting down
of a U.S. Army helicopter.
Three Americans were reported killed
and one captured when the helicopter
was shot down yesterday inside North
Korea. The U.S.-led U.N. Command
asked that the crewman and the three
bodies be returned tomorrow.
The command had urged the meeting
be held tonight or this afternoon, but the
North Koreans refused.
There was no indication whether
North Korea would comply with the
request for return of the captured
crewman or the bodies.
The U.N. Command said the CH-47
Chinook helicopter "strayed ac
cidentally" into Communist territory.
President Carter said in Washington
the helicopter had been over North
Korean territory by mistake and "our
primary interest is in having the in
cident not escalate into a confrontation."
"We understand that two of the crew
members were killed when the
helicopter crashed. Another was killed
in the exchange of gunfire in some way
we don't know yet. And the fourth one
apparently has been captured," Carter
said.
.A White House spokesman later.said
there was no exchange of gunfire in the

Dope-Smoker!?
That's right. If you noticed
something floating over East Halls
Tuesday night, it was probably
"cloud" Chris in
.the process of
winning a dope-smoking bet.
"Cloud" had been bet that he
couldn't smoke from 5:30 to 9:00 p.m.
Tuesday night. If he did, his betting
partner would have to drink a case of
beer in four hours today.
"This (dope-smoking) is my
vocation," Chris told a Collegian
reporter. (We wonder what you
major in for a profession like that.)
"Cloud" said that the reason he
smoked all of the dope was not just to
win the bet. "I just want to show those
hard-assed Congressmen that getting
high won't kill you."
It didn't kill Chris. The latest
reports say that he is breathing quite
normally and really getting into it
besides.
"Cloud" Chris is a self-acclaimed

sense American or, South Korean
soldiers fired at North Koreans.
U.S. Rear Adm. Warren C. Hamm Jr.,
senior commission member on the U.N.
side, sent a message to North Korean
authorities asking that the crew and
helicopter be returned.
The North Koreans, who claimed the
copter "illegally intruded" on its terri
tory, failed to show up at the truce site
at hours twice requested by the U.N.
command. The U.N. side then called for
a meeting this afternoon while North
Korea proposed it be held tomorrow.
North Korean radio claimed the
"armed" helicopter "infiltrated deep
into the portion of our side" and "was
brought down, . . . by . tbe gunfire of the
Korean People's Army."
U.S. officials denied the helicopter was
armed and said it went down in view of
two U.N. observer posts on the south side
of the 2-mile-wide buffer zone.
The downing of the U.S. Army
helicopter was the fifth such incident
involving U.S. military aircraft during
the 24-year-old armistice that ended the
three-year Korean War in 1953. More
than 2,000 shooting incidents have oc
curred during the uneasy peace and
nearly 50 Americans and more than 450
South Koreans have been killed.
Pentagon officials in Washington said
U.S. forces were on "normal alert
status."
After ax-wielding North Koreans
killed two American officers last August
in a dispute over the pruning of a tree in
Panmunjom, the United States put its
forces on alert, bolstered air power and
sent the aircraft carrier Midway with
five escort ship to patrol Korean water.
Tensions subsided after Washington
agreed to North Korea's proposal to
divide the truce village with a line of
demarcation.
Yesterday's downing of the helicopter
seemed bound to trigger fresh debate on
Carter's plans to withdraw all 33,000
ground troops remaining in Korea over
the next four to five years.
The chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff
told a U.S. House panel in Washington
the incident has not changed the military
leadership's support for Carter's plan.
"We have not reevaluated the proposed
withdrawal," Gen. George , S. Brown
said.

State leaders to move budget plan proposal
HARRISBURG (AP) Legislative
leaders appear ready to move a budget
proposal that carries over $5OO million in
new taxes, although the majority of rank
and file members say they won't vote for
it.
The Senate Democratic caucus voted
15-10 yesterday to authorize their two
conference committee representatives
to vote for the new tax budget.
And House' Majority Leaader James
Manderino, also on the conference
committee, said he feels the $5OO million
tax budget will poss.
Yet, Senate Democrats need 26 votes.
With only 15 in the tax column now, they
would need 11 Republican votes.
So far only two to three Republican
senators have indicated any interest at
all in voting for taxes.
Manderino, too, acknowledges he
doesn't have the 102 votes yet in his
caucus. A source said there were only 80
Democratic votes for taxes as of last
night.
House Republican caucus chairman
Sam Hayes said he didn't know of any
Republicans "gnashing at the bit to vote
for taxes."
And both House and Senate leaders

say they'll wait for the other side to
make the first move on taxes.
"It's a dilemma, it's rough," said
House Democratic Whip Roland
Greenfield of Philadelphia.
The conference committee will meet
again today and likely report out the $5OO
million tax budget.
Opinions differ on raise delay
University faculty and staff members
have mixed feelings concerning the
postponement of their 5 per cent wage
increase.
"We're conditioned not to believe in a
raise until we see it on a check," a clerk
at Pattee Library said.
The joint House-Senate committee still
was conferring on the state budget June
30, the date it was scheduled to pass
budget legislation. University President
John Oswald sent a letter of apology to
University employees about the pay
raise postponement.

Leaders in both Houses have until
Monday to round up the votes.
"We'll try every way humanly
possible . . . to get some votes," said
Sen. Henry Cianfrani, conference
committee chairman.
Manderino said he has already seen
some movement.
University will borrow money for July
and borrow money on an increasing
basis in future months as needed.
"It makes sense that the University
cannot spend money it doesn't have. I
think it depends on the people in
Harrisburg. President Oswald has done
what he could. I wish the students as well
as the Collegian would get after the
representatives in Harrisburg," a

The Old Main lawn appears to be
the hang-out for several members of
the Penn State Ultimate Frisbee
team. No, honestly! Penn State does
have a frisbee team and not only that,
they're good.
Two months ago the team won the
Eastern National Ultimate Frisbee
Tournament at Amherst College.
That victory gives them a seat in the
Rose Bowl of the International
Frisbee Conference to be held late
this coming August.
The team also teaches a Free U
course Monday through Thursday
evenings at Pollock field.
Now that you know that, sit back
and wait for the aliens.

Acoustics Laboratory seems to have
found the key to spontaneous

That is, they seem to have stumbled
across a way to make babies that is
more efficient and less time con

What they did was expose two male
rats to high level noise on a controlled
schedule over a weekend.

scattered, some of the outbursts devastated strings of
shops in some neighborhoods, with looters openly
fleeing with groceries, TVs and luggage despite the
presence of police and television news cameras.

vandalism and looting," Beame told a news conference
in which he strongly criticized Con Edison for the
blackout which lingered hours longer than the 1965
outage.

Mayor Beame met with community leaders and

during the night. Clergy toured neighborhoods in police

What they got as a result of their
testing were two rather high strung
male rats and a litter of 13 baby rats.
One gets the impression from
reading the press release that the
University's Applied Research
Laboratory ( who published the
report) knew they had goofed up
somewhere along the line, but
weren't about to admit it.
They held back their chuckles and
reported: "Since the rats were sexed
by an expert physiologist, one can
only conclude' that noise exposure
induces pregnancy in male rats!"

proceedings in Harrisburg. There should
be a system by which the University can
assure an annual wage increase."
However, Sara Confer, secretary at
the Animal Industry Building, said she
was surprised that the University
originally agreed to the pay raise. She
thought the University was unprepared
to handle this demand on its budget.
A more optimistic comment came
from archaeology professor Frederick
Matson.
"I've lived through this experience for
25 years. I think the state legislature will
come through in fine fashion," he said.
