Hecklers and George Give 'Quite a Show' If you weren’t in Hershey on Friday, you missed The Greatest Show on Earth. This show had everything. It was serious, but at the same time - it was a farce. It was exciting; but it was also-dull. - - ~: All of this was brought to Chocolatetnwn, USA, by George Wallace and his American Inde uendent Party. And the Hershey Arena hasn’t put on such a display since its last bench-emptying brawl during an ice hockey game. The show got underway even before Wallace was introduced as “The next President of the United States.” A combo which could have been labeled Clyde Appledung and the Hicksville Moo- Moos offered music, country style, while the people entered the arena. f A round of “God Bless America” followed. It was amusing to watch these patriotic people who want to “Stand Up for America” many were mumbling and looking around at each other, em barrassed, because they didn’t know the words to the song. Some 30 Wallace Girls were circulating in the crowd, carrying buckets for contributions. Later, during Wallace’s speech, they stood at the side of the stage, squealing and clapping in appropriate spots. “Are you going to vote for Wallace?” one of the-girls was asked. “Oh, you bet,” she answered. “He’s the only one (Continued on page two) universities, is planning to propose that a rent control board be established at all state colleges and universities.

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 29, 1968 By WILLIAM EPSTEIN Collegian Managing Editor Status Schweiker Award The Democratic Chairman of Centre County yesterday attacked the decision to present Rep. Richard M. Schweiker (R- Pa.) with honorary membership in a senior men’s hat society. “I firmly believe,” said Mrs. Marie Garner, Democratic chairman, ‘‘that President (Eric A.) Walker is using poor judgment in permetting political views to be so strongly, demonstrated near elec tion time.” Mrs. Garner added. ‘‘This is not the first time that President Walker has al lowed Republican political views to be demonstrated at the University. He did the same think earlier this year by com plimenting Ray Schafer for the allocation of funds to Penn State. “The allocation was endorsed by Dem ocratic legislators and did not need Shafer’s approval. Shafer held up the funds to force the Democratic legislators to go along with his tax program. “The Democrats cooperated with this in order to have the University ap propriation allocated; it amounts to blackmail by Gov. Shafer. Walker’s later praise of the governor is a poor and un warranted stand.” Mrs. Garner was responding to the re cent announcement that Skull and Bones will present an honorary membership to Schweiker Saturday during halftime ceremonies of the Penn State-Army game, three days before Election Day. Schweiker is running against incum bent Democrat Joseph S. Clark for elec tion to the U.S. Senate. His selection by Skull and Bones was announced last week as p«art of initial Homecoming plans. Mrs. Garner demanded clarification of Mock Presidential Election Set Whether you’re 21 or not, you can still vote in the presidential mock election and referendum. Sponsored by the University Union Board, the election will be held tomorrow and Thurs day across campus. Voting machines will be located in North, South, East and West dining halls, in the Pollock Union Building, on the ground floor of the Hetzel Union Build ing and on Pollock Road on the MaU. All polls in the dining areas will be open from 11:30 to 1:30 and from 4:30 to 6:30. Polls on the ground floor of the HUB and on the - Mall will be open from 11:00 to 4:00. Town stu dents will have to vote on campus, but they are not restricted to the HUB and Mall. Previously sponsored by the Undergraduate Student Myers said be will , ask Charles L. Lewis, vice president for student affairs, this week to sanction TIM as Penn State's rent control board if Homer’s bill is approved. State Agency TIM If TIM could act as a rent control-board it would be a local agency of the state and would work in conjunction with the proposed state rent control board, Myers explained. Homer decided to make his proposal after touring State College apartments last week with TIM representatives. He referred to the -apartments as “unfit for human beings,” naming ’University professor and State College landlord Shiou-Chuan Sun as “the biggest offender.” A grievance committee, made Up of students in Sun’s apartments, recently threatened Sun with a rent strike unless improvements were made. TIM has given Sun up to the end of this month to make the improvements. Sun: 'Minimal Repairs' “Dr. Sun has made minimal-repairs,” Myers said. “They have been evident in those places where students have complained. “As far as lowering rents, Dr. Sun has been extremely unsympathetic,” Myers- continued. “He is not the only one. There are many oth ers like him and they will be coming under fire very soon,” Myers said. TIM is starting a referendum to ask-students how they feel about a rent control board.. He said, “As a town Congressman (of the Undergraduate Student Government) I disagree with what I understand of this plan. We’re putting the-cart "before the horse “We’ve got to get this man to sponsor this legislation. We’ve got to lobby as' an organiza tion and we have to get students to write to their congressmen,” Klasky continued. Klasky said that TIM does nofhave the" time to operate as a rent control board. He wants TIM to organize student support behind Homer to' get the bill passed. ’ Homer will also present a bill calling for the end ot age discrimination in renting apartments. Myers said that a number of landlords .will only rent to graduate students. According to Myers the better built apart hients and the less expensive ones are often re served for graduate (students. ; i-j-.k- , ! Denounces With Skull By DENISE DEMONS Collegian Staff Writer By ALLAN YODER Collegian Staff Writer Honoring of Schweiker and Bones Membership the award to all news media. “It has been confused with the Distinguished Alumnus Award presented annually by the University Board of Trustees.” she charged, “but it cannot be considered re presentative of the sentiments of the Penn State faculty and student body, who have endorsed the re-election of Sen. Clark.*’ James Kefford. president of Skull and Bones, responded, “Of course. Skull and Bones has no power to give anyone a University endorsement.” Kefford explained that the honorary membership, which is an annual presen tation, is not always given to a University alumnus, although Schweiker did gra duate from Penn State in 1952. “To the best of my knowledge,” he said, “confusion of this with the Dis tinguished AlUmns Award is simply an error.” Until last year, when Gov, Raymond P. Shafer received the award, it had been given only to University personnel. Laurence H. Lattman, professor of geology, and James W. Dunlop, professor of music education, are among past reci pients. Kefford said that the decision to make the presentation Nov. 2 was based only on tht fact that Schweiker is planning to at tend the Homecoming game. The award, he explained, is given to an outstanding Pennsylvanian who has made large contributions in the field of educa tion. In announcing the award, Skull and Bones' said of Schweiker that “Since his graduation, Congressman Schweiker has continued to strive for his alma mater. He has helped to make Penn State the fine institution it is today.” “If Skull and Bones seeks someone who UUB Sponsors Contest , Referendum Government, the mock election this year is being conducted by the ’UUB as part of an expan sion of the Board’s activities. ‘No Candidates Acceptable* If neither Humphrey, Nixon or' Wallace is suitable to the voters, they will be able to pull a lever signifying "no can didates acceptable.” Voters al so will be able to write in a candidate’s name. In addition, there will be five referendum questions on the ballot. The purpose of these, according to UUB Elections Commissioner Jeff Lessing, is to "try to determine how strongly Penn State students feel on what we consider very pertinent questions.” The ques tions range from international subjects to topics important to this campus. The first question is; ‘‘Do you approve of Mayor Daley’s methods of maintaining law and order at the Democratic Convention in Chicago?” Guns, Forum, Blacks The other questions are: "Are you in favor of the registration of guns as a me thod of gun control?” “Do you think President Walker should engage in un open forum with the student body specifically to discuss those questions raised at the Free Speech Movement?” "Do you favor an uncondi tional bombing halt in Viet nam?” "Should the - University make a conscious effort to increase Collegian Wins Awards The Daily Collegian has' been awarded first place in news writing for 1967-68 by Sigma Del ta Chi, professional journalism society.

We want to know what the peo ple on this campus think. Not that it will mean anything politically, but we hope to show that Penn State students aren’t completely apathetic,” Lessing said. Michael Alexander, UUB president, said much the same. ‘‘A lot has been said about the apathy of the students here. But hopefully we’ll prove that students aren’t apathetic when Willard Wirtz To Speak Today Secretary of Labor Willard Wirtz will speak in the Hetzcl Union Building Ballroom at 4 p.m today.

Although students still' filled the hallway outside the Rec Hall ticket office, the last of the tickets were gone at 3 p.m. Standing room tickets will go on sale at 12:15 p.m.- Saturday at Beaver Stadium. “Last year we had three games with student tickets left over,” Lucas said in explaining the situa tion. “Only the UCLA and North Carolina State games sold out the student sections.” it conies to something like' a presidential election.” Voters will be asked to specify whether they are over or under 21 years of age. Also* voters will be asked their sex. ■ All of this, according to Alexander, is to help in the planned interpretation of the election results. “Results will be compared, to a minor degree, to the survey taken by Phillip Klopp and the sociology department last spring,” Alex ander said. Klopp is going to make a comparison of the results of this election to the results of the survey. In the survey, stu dents were asked to answer questions pertaining to their political leanings. Comparison Difficult A comparison will be dif ficult, though, Alexander said, because the poll was a random sampling of student- opinion and nearly ’ all students who were asked to fill out the ques tionnaire did so. On the other hand. Alexander said, .“this election is open to everyone and it will discriminate against apathetic students.” ; Lessing said he expects ,a much better turnout. for this., election than there was for the USG elections in the fall. : “I’m curious to find out how many people will come out and vote when they actually know who they are voting for,” Les sing said. “This is something substantial, and I think the students will come on strong.” SPORTS STORIES 1 SEVBM , CENTS’
