News Roundup: From the State, I Nation & World The World Paris Talks Move Nearer Settlement PARIS The United States and North Vietnam appeared, yesterday to have moved nearer a breakthrough peacemaking as their envoys had their last formally scheduled encounter before the U.S. presidential election. * Though neither side would directly confirm persistent reports of imminent agreement on a .halt in U.S. bombing of the North, one allied diplomat, who requested anonymity, told a newsman: . “Everything is settled.’* In Saigon, the U. S. Embassy was silent about reports that a joint statement concerning a bombing halt was being pre- Sared' by Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker and President guyen Van Thieu. William J. Jordan, spokesman for U.S. Ambassador W. Averell Harriman’s delegation in Paris, fielded reporters’ questions cautiously after the Bth peace talks session. To most queries he answered: “No comment. 1 In one exchange, however, he hinted indirectly at a bargaining progress. ★ ★ ★ Czech, Slovaks Join in Federation BRATISLAVA, Czechoslovakia With anti-Soviet demonstrations quieted, President Ludvik Svoboda and other leaders signed new charters yesterday creating autonomous Czech and Slovak states joined in a federation. Svoboda said the new charters, to become effective Jan. 1, Will insure “the full rights of both Czech and Slovak nations and the fulfillment of national needs.” Back in Prague, the Czechoslovak leaders came under at tack yesterday by ‘a large group of Charles University stu dents and professors who charged them with yielding to Soviet attempts to restore Stalinism. In a resolution, they denounced the treaty governing temporary stay of Soviet troops as “a prison sentence of many years for our country.” Americans Awarded Nobel Science Prizes STOCKHOLM Americans completed a clean' sweep yesterday of the 1968 Nobel prizes in science, getting the awards in physics and chemistry. Luis W. Alvaez, 57, of the University of California at Berkeley, won the prize in physics and Norwegian-born Lars Onsager, $4, of Yale University, was given the one in chemis try. i They join three Americans who earlier this month shared the prize for medicine and physiology. The peace prize went to a Frenchman and the. literature prize to a Japanese. Each prize this year is worth a record $70,000. “I’m deeply gratified and highly excited to think that I, once one of the boys, could receive this honor,” Alvarez said in Berkeley. Reached at Pasadena, Calif., where he is attending a me eting of the National Academy of Science, Onsager said: “Well, it,is hard to say just how I felt when I was told. Ob viously, it was a bit of a surprise.” The Swedish Academy of Science cited both men for work so technical it is difficult* for laymen to understand. The Nation Candidates Begin ' Final Push ■ 'Hubert H.' Hum phrey campaigned'Vesterday on the sidewalks of New York, appealing to thousands at a street corner rally to prod friends, relatives and neighbors to the ballot box. “I need every vote we can get,” the Democratic presiden tial candidate declared in making a traditional election year appearance in Manhattan’s garment district before a crowd that filled about three blocks. Humphrey recalled that Harry S. Truman and John F. Kennedy two other presidential candidates waging uphill campaigns had appeared “at this same spot” to seek help and then had gone on to victory. “Now,” .said Humphrey.” I ask for your help as I never asked for it before.” WHEELING, W. Va. Third party candidate George C. Wallace told a campaign crowd at Wheeling yesterday that the United States will ‘be relegated to a second class power” unless law and order are restored in the nation. Wallace swung southward into the Appalachian foothills of West Virginia after a tumultous reception at Detroit Tuesday night which began with frenzied jeers and wound up in a fist swinging. chair-throwing, free-for-all touched off by the ap pearance of noisy hecklers. The former Alabama governor encountered some hecklers at Wheeling, as he does now at almost every appearance, but many of them stood in silent protest while holding aloft black cardboard signs and black-gloved fists in a salute to black power. ROCHESTER, Minn. Richard‘M. .Nixon journeyed to Hubert; H. Humphrey’s Minnesota yesterday and called the Democratic presidential nominee “a man who has trotted me ekly along behind his master” Lyndon B. Johnson and cannot now be expected to lead. The Republican nominee for the White House took a cal culated campaign detour-to put in an appearance in Hum phrey’s home state, and declared that his rival’s “failure to exercise his intellectual courage has been his most serious failure.” ' Nixon flew .from Syracuse, N.Y., to Rochester for an air port rally which drew a crowd police estimated at some 7,500. There were waving Humphrey placards and chants of the vice president’s name from some in the predominantly Republican turnout. • ★ ★ ★ Bombing Halt Rumors Still Current WASHINGTON A fresh spurt of mysterious diplomatic activity triggered speculation yesterday that President John son was on the brink of deciding whether to halt the bombing of North Vietnam. While the White House and State Department maintained a tight “no comment” on the substance of Johnson’s secret meeting Tuesday with Gen. Creighton W. Abrams, the U.S. commander’in Vietnam, reports from elsewhere contributed to the suspense. In Bangkok Foreign Minister' Thanat Kohman told newsmen upon returning from a U.S. visit that the United States and North Vietnam had entered “final stages” of bargaining about a bombing halt and the start of full scale peace talks. The main point still to be settled is reciprocity by Hanoi for an end to the U.S. air attacks, he said. Is the By JOHN BRONSON Collegian Staff "Writer Is the university responsible to the society around it, or .is it enought for it to point out problems without making an attempt to solve them? . ’ Penn State made an effort to answer this question test spring when President Eric A. Walker appointed the Committee for the Cul turally Disadvantaged. This committee, with David Gottlieb, pro fessor of human development, as its coor dinator, was established to “initiate and en courage programs to improve the social, educational and economic, status of the poor.” Involvement Justified? A question basic to the dimensions of these projects asks whether the University’s degree of involvement in such programs is justified. In other words, do these proposed programs “fall within the scope, framework,-and mission of the University?” . „ Gottlieb stated in "ah interview, “I believe that institutions of higher education should and ttty? laiUj (@ (Ealbgt 6 Pages Bookstore The Faculty Senate’s bookstore committee will not release its long-awaited report until the Senate meets Tuesday. - Peter D.

Sources close to the committee, however, have indicated that the committee will recommend the establishment of a University-operated bookstore.

Kalkstein had said that students involved in disciplinary cases are being intimidated by the Tribunal. Zimmerman argued that this charge is based on the idea that the Men’s Tribunal is a court. ‘We don’t run a trial, we run a review,” Zimmerman said. The tribunal’s purpose is not to pass judgment, but to discuss the student’s problems with him and help him deter mine why he broke the rules, according to Zimmerman. In answer to Kalkstein’s charges that “students are guaranteed their charges in writing, but more than half the time they don’t receive them,” Zimmerman said he knew of no such cases. He also said he knows of no area coordinator who ,sets a minimum sentence before the hearing or who must approve the final sentence. Tribunal Meetings Closed When asked why USG has been refused, admittance to tribunal meetings, Zimmerman stated, that the meetings are confidential and completely closed for, the benefit and protec tion of the student. No one can be admitted unless by the re quest of,the student, “not even President Walker.” The tribunal approaches related more to counseling, and does not deal in legalistic terms. It functions in a college en vironment and must operate within that context, Zimmerman said. The tribunal may make recommendations to the Dean of Men and thus help the student by looking at his problem through the eyes of other students, Zimmerman said. 45 Support Teach-in A petition requesting a teach-in to discuss the “serious problems and injustices which grip the world, our nation and our University,” has been signed by 45 faculty members. The teach-in, to be held on Election Day, Nov. 5, will present faculty members’ views of various issues. The list of speakers will be announced later. Members of the audience may par ticipate, after the faculty discussions. The dialogue, however, will not be an open forum _according to Kenneth H.

If you. doubt this, just ask us. Our scholarly papers, our classroom pronouncements, all make clear that we do have the expertise,” he added. Gottlieb pointed out that students become' disenchanted with what they feel are incompe tent teachers, but he explained that ‘poor tea ching*. does not mean that the professor does not know his field. Rather, the accusation of poor teaching implies,that the teacher does not •really share with the student and that what is being is not relevant not relevant to the real world wnich the student must enter,** he said. . , r - UNIVERSITY PARK, PA., THURSDAY MORNiNG, OCTOBER 31, 1968 By JIM DORRIS Collegian Staff Writer 'Recommendations' Included “Knowledge for knowledge’s sake is no longer sufficient. The motion that a liberal education will make you a ‘well-rounded per son’ rings hollow.

They want to see the imme diate pay-off now, while they are in the process of fulfilling the assignments and writing the ex aminations,” he said/ Test Class Validity ‘ To accomplish this, Gottlieb proposes that students should .be allowed to test out the validity of their classroom knowledge in the real world while they are still students. “A period of time away from the campus Will probably provide them with the kinds of in sights, questions*, and doubts, that should make for a more, honest and meaningful relationship between student and faculty.” he said. He stated that such an off-campus ex perience would help dispel the feeling that col lege is a “transient expedience.” ■. “It seems to me that every person wants to dations” but that he could not divulge their nature until he actually reports to the Senate. Bennett said that he was given the job by the Senate, and he feels his "duty is to the Senate.” Bennett did not anticipate any action on the committee’s report at the coming Senate meeting, be cause “you can’t ask a senator to vote on something he hasn’t read, debated and digested.” Steve Gerson, executive assistant to Undergrad uate Student Government President Jim Womer, told students at the Oct. 20 meeting of the Free Speech Movement that he did not expect the Faculty Senate to vote on the bookstore committee’s report until December or January.

The first, running from 12 noon to 3 p.m., will deal with “Race, and the University: From Ideology to Policy.” The second session, “Viet Nam and the University,” will start at 7 p.m. Both ses sions will be held in the Hetzel Union Building Ballroom. Circulated primarily among faculty members known to be interested in the Committee’s ideas, the petition en courages students, faculty and adminis tration to “forego class attendance...so that they might participate in the forum.” The petition also suggests that faculty members use their class periods during the day for discussion of the issues. “Each class could send a representative to the forum to report on the discussion and any resulting proposals,” the petition states. The petition outlined the “serious pro blems and injustices” which the forum hopes to discuss. Issue Report Due Vote in January —Collegian Photo by Pierre Deilicinl A.. .UH ...

Generate Involvement* As Gottlieb's argument goes, involving the University in these programs would benefit both the faculty and students. Beyond that, Gottlieb said that “this institution itself, has the obligation to generate such programs, of in volvement.” ‘•‘l know that ■ traditionally land-grant universities were established so that the son of the farmer and the 1 less than elite would have an opportunity for higher education. I also believe, based on my own reading, that in reality few land-grant, institutions actually did take on the children of the poor. But, the idea was a sound one and there is no„reason why we should not try it again,” he said. “If one does take the theme of the Morrill Act seriously, it would appear that we have no alternative but to make a substantial invest ment in programs of social change,” he said. Gerson also said that “the Senate already knows how the student feels, so it’s just a matter of giving facts and figures.” A faculty representative on the committee, Joseph C. Flay, said yesterday that he could not com ment on the committee’s report. Flay, an assistant professor of philosophy, said he feels it would be “a disservice to everyone if the report was released before the meeting.” The bookstore committee was formed last spring and set up two subcommittees to study the costs and benefits of a student bookstore. According to Bennett, the committee has used a variety of sources for information, including a na tionally known consultant, student and faculty sur veys and published documents.

In a survey of 1,241, persons conducted in the Oct. 25-28 period, 33.6 per cent selected Humphrey and 36.8 per cent selected Nixon. In the same period, the percentage of those selecting George Wallaace rose from 11.2 per cent to 12.3 per cent. In the Oct. 13-16 period, 19.2 per cent they were un decided, and 16.1 per cent said they were undecided in the latest period Nixon To Win When the persons in the sample were asked, however, who they thought would win.
