Arthur Goldschmidt, University professor of history, said the United States should not concede to the pressure of terrorism. “If we deport the shah, it would be a precedent,” Gold schmidt said. “Other groups may use the lives of Americans abroad to bargain.” Iranian students took control of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran last Sunday, capturing about 60 Americans inside; The - Ed U.S. Sen.

The shah is currently undergoing treatment for cancer in New York Maddox said the incident in Iran is unprecedented in hun dreds of years. “All governments have respected the immunity of the diplomatic agents,” he said. An operation to rescue the American hostages, similar to Israel’s Entebbe raid, seems impossible without a large-scale military operation, Maddox said. Maddox said Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat’s gesture of sending representatives to Khomeini to plead for the American lives may be a “play on Arafat’s part to show himself as a humanitarian.” “I believe we’re doing all that we can be doing,” he said. “I hope Khomeini shows good judgment. ” “If the United States hands over to Iran the shah, enemy No. l of our dear nation, and stops spying against our movement, the way will be open for discussion on some of the relations in national interest.” .

Students muster support for Kennedy's campaign By LORI HERSHEY Daily Collegian Staff Writer Now that Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass, has made his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nominatipn official, some -students ...have begun a movement to swing Democratic campus support from President Carter to Kennedy. Ed Davis, a member of the newly formed campus organization called Students for Kennedy, said the group , is attempting to get Bill Richardson (lOth-public service) appointed as an 'official delegate during Kennedy’s bid for the nomination. “Our main goal is to get Bill registered as one of two Kennedy delegates for the 23rd Congressional District,” Davis said. "Another goal for our organization is to reduce student apathy and get them involved in a national election,” Davis said. “For the first time in 20 years the students have the chance to elect an official that will represent their interests as college students.” Davis said another objective of the organization is to get delegates from the area elected to the National Democratic Convention, which will be held in New York in the summer of 1980. However, Davis said that Students for Kennedy will not be an official’ campus organization until USG approves it. He said he is sure USG will approve the organization without any problem. Richardson said he mailed a letter to Kennedy last week, asking him for company, this one from Teddy Roosevelt. Teddy says it is a “bully” program and, nearly as predicatable as rain in State College on Fridays, in cludes the quote: “Speak softly and carry a Freshman Record!” Maybe the next one will be signed “Joepa” and will say he was “a smart ass” sportswriter until he read The Freshman Record.

Richardson, said., he. an ticipates no problem in those signatures. Davis said that once Richardson gets the necessary signatures he must then be elected by the district voters in the primary election to go to New York for the National Democratic Convention. Richardson said his main job at the convention would be to “swing the delegates from the Carter camp to the Kennedy camp.” Tony Aquilina, president of Students for Kennedy, said, “This is the first time since 1960 that we’ve had a leader that the students can get excited about.” Richardson added, “We need all the support we can get and all the students that want to get involved. We’re going to set up a table in the HUB at the beginning of .Winter Term. We need students to work phone canvasses, etc.” Aquilina said, “Starting next term, we will hold formal organizational meetings as often as needed.” He said he urges all interested students to call him at 234-2714, or to call Richardson at 237-9483. “We are going to make a big push for Democratic registration." Aquilina said, “and we want to get all the registered democrats out to the primaries to vote.” A stormy period The morning will start off sunny but clouds will lower and thicken throughout the day and the high will only reach a chilly 44.
