Zoo requests Giant Panda
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)—A San Francisco man wants the U.S. government to nudge the bamboo curtain aside just wide enough to let a Giant Panda through from China.
Burt Lucido believes it is a shame there is not a single Giant Panda in the United States, although the animals are available in the eastern Himalayan foothills of China.
The Giant Panda was once thought to be a bear because it looked like a large black and white bear to the French missionary, Pere Armand David, who discovered the rare animal while traveling in southern Asia in 1869.
But the Panda is really a relative of the racoon. It grows to a height of six feet and weight of 200 pounds. The animal is a playful clown and a delight to zoo-goers. It eats only herbs, mainly bamboo shoots.
Lucido, a publicist, wants to organize an expedition to study the Giant Pandas in their native habitat, film them, and catch some to bring back for American

zoos. He believes the project would pay for itself through sale of the animals at $50,000 each.
The last Giant Panda alive in the United States was Mei-Lan (Little Flower) in Chicago's Brookfield Zoo. She died in 1953 at the age of 15. There is only one Panda known in existence outside the Communist countries. That is Chi-Chi of the London Zoo.
Lucido thinks the Giant Panda expedition might even be a means of improving political relations with Red China.
An intoxicating new adult game!
SHAKEY'S
Griffin called the 1970's "a reform era." He accused Senate Democrats of blocking all of President Nixon's major proposals for reform in such areas as tax, social security, the postal service, the electoral college, air traffic and the fight against crime.
Griffin stressed the need for action on the drug problem in the United States. Griffin and other congressional leaders had listened to television entertainer Art Linkletter speak to President Nixon at the White House Thursday about how Linkletter's 20-year-old daughter, Diane, committed suicide after experimenting with LSD.

Griffin opposed the nomination of Abe Fortas in 1968 for reasons similar to those for which he opposes Haynsworth's nomination, he said.

Griffin called for more facilities and opportunities for rehabilitation of drug users as well as a crack-down on those who sell drugs to the young.
Senator Robert P. Griffin, R-Mich., newly elected minority whip of the U.S. Senate, said in Lawrence Friday night he believed the majority of young persons who participated in the October 15 moratorium were sincere in their desire for peace.
Concerning the nomination of Judge Clement Haynsworth as chief justice of the United States, Griffin said, at the present time, Haynsworth's prospects in the Senate could go either way.
Minority whip speaks here
Griffin was here to speak at a dinner at the state convention of the Kansas Federation of Republican Women at the Ramada Inn.
At a press conference, Griffin said the war protests are consistent with American tradition. He also said he believed many Americans, such as former Vice-President Hubert Humphrey, supported both the moratorium and President Richard Nixon.
Asked his opinion of Vice-President Agnew's recent statements criticizing war protesters and accusing Senator Edmund S. Muskie, D-Maine, of playing "Russian roulette" with national security, Griffin said he agreed in part with the statements, but he would not use the same words as the Vice-President did.
Griffin recently was one of a group of senators who signed a letter addressed to President Nixon requesting him to withdraw Haynsworth's nomination. Griffin said, however, indications are strongly against the possibility of such an action by the White House.
Griffin said Haynsworth's record has raised "questions of legitimate doubt" as to whether Haynsworth possessed the high
ethical judgement needed in the Supreme Court.
UDB polishes statutes, policy on release of names
The University Disciplinary Board has adopted new rules of procedure, effective Oct. 23, said Martin B. Dickinson Jr., chairman of the University Disciplinary Board.
Dickinson said the new rules which clarify existing practices include only a few changes. There have been four basic changes in the original rules established by the Board, Dickinson said. The new rules include statutes which provide for:
- the student adviser, who can actively participate in the hearing whether he is a non-lawyer, lawyer, law student, etc.
- the opportunity for students to examine documents before their hearing.
- specific warnings must be made to the student to inform him of his rights.
- a limit of three character witnesses.
In addition to these four new rules, the Board has also adopted a policy concerning the publication of names of students involved in disciplinary cases. This statute states:
The Board's action as to any charged student who elects a public hearing shall be made public, including the student's name and the disposition of his case. If the student elects a private hearing, the Board may publicly announce the circumstances of the case and the Board's action, but may divulge the name of the student involved only to appropriate University officials.
Among the highest sand dunes in the world are those on the Pacific coast of Oregon.
Griffin said while the government could point the way to a new society, it was the people who must instil it with life, and called for renewed vigor from Americans to fulfill America's dreams.
"The most ignominious death of all," he said, "is when freedom dies in its sleep."
