Gang trial covers protest event
.Suppression of demonstration led to Xiaoping's downfall
PEKING (UPI) The trial of the Gang of Four
focused yesterday on their suppression of China's big
gest spontaneous protest, an event that turned into a
riot and led to the downfall of Deng Xiaoping, now back
as the nation's strongman.
Also implicitly questioned at the proceedings was the
role of Communist Party Chairman Hua Guofeng, who
was public security minister at the time of the 1976
"Tienanmen incident" a turning point in recent
Chinese politics.
The day's trial was followed in the evening by a
television report showing Mao Tse-tung's widow, Jiang
Qing, invoking the names of her once almighty hus
band and the late Premier Chou En-lai in defense
against charges she used strongarm tactics to cover up
her activities as Shanghai movie starlet "Blue Apple"
in the 19305.
Housing► services: bedspreads to blankets
By IRIS NAAR
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
Residence hall students who were
disappointed to learn that the University
stopped providing blankets for all
students as of Summer Term may be in
terested to know that bedspreads were
also provided for dorm residents several
years ago.
Donald Arndt, director of Housing,
saidbedspreads were provided to dorm
residents, but the service was discon
tinued seven or eight years ago. Arndt
said the housing staff learned that the
percentage of students who actually
made their beds was very low, so many
bedspreads were not being used.
In addition, Arndt said, laundering
problems made the use of bedspreads
impractical. •
The old bedspreads were sent to a
salvage facility, Arndt said. Blankets
not worth keeping were also sent to a
salvage or surplus facility, or to a relief
agency.
• He said the University still keeps
blankets for conference groups in the
summer.
Arndt said the cost of laundering and
replacing traditional wool blankets had
risen significantly. He said he approach
ed the Association of 'Residence Hall
Students two years ago to explain that
the cost of proViding blankets was not
practical.
As was the case with bedspreads,
some students were not using the
blankets provided for them, Arndt said.
Some used blankets from their homes, or
used them in non-traditional ways.
"It was observed that the blankets
were being used outside," he said.
Arndt said the University still pro
vides blankets for students residing in
the graduate dorms. Many graduate
students are from foreign countries or
reside far away, so the blankets are pro-
Frat claims 'unofficial' zoning victory
By HEIDI BEELER
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
An unofficial victory has been scored in a zoning hearing
case, said the president of Sigma Chi fraternity, 400 E. Pro
spect Ave.
Jeffrey S. Painter, Sigma Chi president, said Tuesday's
hearing concerned an old tennis court owned by the fraternity,
now used as a parking lot.
The tennis court requires at least $lO,OOO in repairs, said
Painter, so fraternity members and neighbors started using it
as a parking lot.A neighbor noticed it'just this year and com
plained to the zoning board, he said.
"The question was when they started using it as a parking
lot," said Louis F. Geschwinder, chairman of the State College
Zoning Hearing Board. •
An ordinance was passed in September 1978 requiting ex
isting parking lots which were expanded by 50 percent or
more to add plants, dividing lines and curbs, Geschwinder

In the courtroom, writer Yao Wenyuan, 49, a
member of the Gang that Jiang led, admitted he had
used the official media to attack the 2 million people
gathered at Peking's Tienanmen Square in April 1976
to pay homage to Chou, who died earlier that year.
The demonstrators also took the opportunity to
criticize policies advocated by the Gang, then wielding
tremendous power during China's Cultural Revolution.
The demonstration was seen as China's first public ral
ly not organized by the authorities and it enraged Yao.
"They (demonstrators who gathered to pay homage
to Premier Chou En-lai) were using very sharp words
against the Gang of Four and I was one of those to be
overthrown," he told the court.
Yao ordered the press under his control to denounce
the mourners as "counterrevolutionaries" and wrote
in his diary, "Why can't we have a group of counter-
vided for them, he said.
"We will probably reach the point
where we can't afford to do that," he
said.
The University continues to provide
two sheets and a pillowcase to dorm
residents. Although Arndt said students
are not changing their sheets as often as
they did in the past, he said the Universi
ty has no plans to discontinue the
service.
In some residence halls, Arndt said,
revolutionaries shot?" the court heard.
The court was told because Yao branded the pro
testors as "counterrevolutionaries," public security
police cracked down on the gathering by removing
wreaths placed at a martyrs' monument in honor of
Chou.
The action sparked a riot and angry protesters set
fire to buildings at the Public Security Ministry, then
headed by Hua.
Hua was not mentioned in official reports on the
trial. But the public wa's starkly reminded of whose
side he apparently took at the time.
Deng was blamed for the riot at the time and purged
from all posts the same month. He regained power in
1977, after Mao had died. Now vice chairman, Deng is
regarded as the most powerful peron in China.
said. The tennis court is considered an expansion of the frater
nity's parking space, he said.
However, if the zoning board rules the fraternity used the
tennis court as a parking lot before September '7B, the or
dinance would not apply, Geschwinder said. The board's deci
sion will be announced at noon on Friday in the State College
Municipal Building, he said.
But Painter said,
ordinance."
Fraternity members who attended Tuesday's hearing
believed they had proved the tennis court was used as a park
ing lot before passage of the ordinanCe, Painter said. The wait
until Friday's hearing isjust a formality, he said.
The fraternity is planning to add a shrub screen anyway to
keep relations with neighbors friendly, he said.
"We didn't want to be legally bound," Painter said.
The new plants will cost approximately $3OO to $4OO, Painter
said.
the exchange rate is as low as 40 percent
a week.
"The sheets are available but people
aren't exchanging them," Arndt said.
Arndt said the University does not pro
vide fitted bottom sheets because they
would have to handled by hand, and
would cost more to clean and fold than
standard sheets. This would increase
costs, he said, because the standard
sheets used now can be folded by
machine.
