Alumni
at playing students
Seventy-two Penn State alumni are
reliving a part of their college ex
perience this week, without the worries
of exams, projects, or intense booking.
The alumni, their families, and a
handful of plain ole interested folks are
attending the third annual Alumni
Vacation College being held July 10-16.
• John W. Black, associate director of
the Alumni Association, described the
week. "This is an idea designed to bring
people back to the campus for a com
bined vacational and educational ex
perience," he said. "We think alumni
should have the opportunity to avail
themselves of the facilities here in the
same way as when they were students."
"The students of summer," as the
Alumni Association calls them, live and
eat in University residence halls, attend
classes taught by University professors,
and use the recreational facilities on and
near the campus.
Black explained that scheduled ac
tivities comprise most of each day, but
added, '" If the guests would rather play
golf, tennis, or swim, they are more than
welcome."
A three-hour seminar is scheduled
daily. Topics are: "Ethnicity in
America" on Monday, "The Diversity of
Corman against judgeship
State Sen. J. Doyle Corman said
Tuesday he will oppose a bill currently in
the Senate Appropriations Committee
which would give Centre County a

could cost county taxpayers up to
$200,000, Corman said he may sponsor an

"The Current Food Situation from the
International Level to the Individual
Level" yesterday, and "The Changing
Marketplace and its Sweeping Effects on
our Society" today. Each class was
conducted by University professors.
While the alumni are at class, their
children are kept busy with craft
demonstrations, sports and games, a
nature study, and a theater makeup and
an ethnic study class.
The "students" were treated to guided
tours of Penn State locales to get an idea
how much the University has changed.
The stops ranged from Pattee Library
and a greenhouse to a wildlife preserve
and the Mineral Museum.
A week in State College would not be
complete without an outing at Stone

for an afternoon of boating, hiking, and
lounging.

Flat airplane
fee proposed
MIAMI (AP) Eastern Airlines
proposed yesterday a special $299
fare allowing two people traveling
together to fly on a nearly unlimited
basis among 105 cities in the United
States, Canada, Mexico and the
Caribbean during a 21-day period.
"We're almost right down to bus
rates," Eastern spokesman James
Ashlock said. "I can't think of
anything that benefits the consumer
more.
"And we need to fill empty seats.
This is just like a store. We need
people, and we're trying to come up
with incentives to convince people to
go."
The offer by Eastern is the first
time a major airline has attempted to
provide unlimited travel at a basic
fee. Smaller airlines have offered
similar plans but only on a regional
basis, an Eastern spokesman said.
The plan would be similar to a
Eurorail pass on European railroads.
Amtrak and major American bus
companies also offer such a package.
Rizzo wants
school loans
PHILADELPHIA (AP)
Philadelphia Mayor Frank Rizzo
made a plea to the city's business
community yesterday to lend $5O
from the Wires
million to the city's financially
strapped school system.
The proposal, presented jointly by
Rizzo and Greater Philadelphia
Chamber of Commerce president
Thacher Longstreth, would have the
city's commercial banks, insurance
companies and savings banks give
the schools the money on a long-range
loan basis.
"I am convinced the business
community will be available to help
in this great hour of need," Rizzo said
at an afternoon press conference.
"I've heard many, many,times that
Philadelphia does not do its share. I
take exception to that. Philadelphia
has always done its share and will
continue to do so. This administration
is dedicated to The education of our
children."
The city has told state legislators it
needs $l7O million to keep the schools
afloat next year.
U.S. gas cost
plan approved
WASHINGTON ( UPI) The House
Commerce • Committee gave
President Carter a major victory
yesterday by approving his plan to
continue federal controls of natural
gas prices.
The vote was 22 to 19 after
sometimes angry debate. The
committee rejected both a com
promise decontrol proposal tying
price increases to profit controls and
a more sweeping deregulation plan.
Approval sends the nontax portions
of Carter's energy program to a
special energy committee that will
add them to the tax portions already
approved by the Ways and ,Means
Committee and offer the entire
package to the House early next
month.
Carter proposed to allow the
federal price ceiling on interstate
natural gas sales to increase from the
present $1.45 to around $1.75. But he
also wants to extend controls for the
first time.to sales of gas in the states
where it is produced.
Australian
leader resigns
SYDNEY, Australia ( AP) Sir
John Kerr, whose ouster of the Labor
government in 1975 made him the
center of a continuing controversy,
resigned yesterday as Australia's
governor-general.
The resignation of Queen Elizabeth
ll's representative in Australia was
announced jointly at Buckingham
Palace in London and by Prime
Minister Malcolm Fraser in Can
berra. It came 18 months short of the
scheduled end of Kerr's five-year
term.
Kerr's replacement Will be Sir
Zelman Cowen, a 57-year-old law
professor and vice chancellor of
Queensland University. Despite his
reputation as a distinguished
.
professor, he is not well-known
outside academic and legal circles.
Cowen will take office in December.
Shadrin was employed as a Soviet
naval analyst for the Defense
Intelligence Agency, the intelligence
gathering arm of the Pentagon. He
became an American citizen by a
special act of Congress in 1965.

Spy believed
kidnap victim
'WASHINGTON (AP) The wife of
a Russian defector-turned-American
double agent appealed to President
Carter yesterday to end a real-life
spy story by interceding with the
Russians, whom , she believes kid
naped her husband 18 months ago.
The State Department confirmed
that Nicholas Shadrin was acting as a
double agent for the FBI when he
disappeared in Vienna, Austria, on
Dec. 20, 1975, after going to meet two
agents of the Soviet secret police.
"We want him back," State
Department spokesman Hodding
Carter 111 told reporters. "He's an
American citizen whose welfare
concerns us."
The White House said Shadrin's
wife, Blanka, "has our sympathy and
active support," and promised to
"continue our best efforts" to secure
information about her missing
husband. However, spokesman Jody
Powell refused to discuss the case
further.
But Mrs, Shadrin's lawyer, Richard
Copaken, disclosed that two
secretaries of State had spoken with
Soviet officials about Shadrin, and
former President Gerald R. Ford
himself wrote to Soviet President
Leonid Brezhnev— all to no avail.
