Senator Hugh Scott (Rep., Pa.) addressed hugh a crowd of over 1200 last Friday night as Drexel officially be came Drexel University. As President Hagerty introduced the Senate Minority leader the audience clearly became restless to the chants of several members of the community screaming in scoff the background, “ the community demands to be heard**. After a small note regarding the noises in the background, the Sena tor immediately addressed the audience as the “ silent majority”. at Following the usual comical notes written into every politicians, speech, Scott began to remark about the changing times and the role of every university in the community. As appropriate as it was, he immediately changed the topic and began to speak on drexel the role of the students in the present and future world. The Senator applauded students as the “ vanguard of movements in the 60*s,** and encouraged them to “ bear the standards into the 70*s**. He quickly moved to caution them to “ weigh choices and analyze the alternatives. As you reject the sterile solutions of yesterday, do not fall for the volatile rhetoric of the moment.** NIVERSITY u Senator Scott continued his speech with talk of how important technology is in our society and how its effect is an important factor in improving society. He ended with a brief line regard ing all those to whom he had addressed his specifics, “yours is the realm of creation**. When asked afterwards if the change in name to a University have any effect on monetary support from the federal or state legislatures. Senator Scott simply replied that it may have some effect on the state legislature, but would have no effect on the federal since only special agencies of the federal legislature can grant aid. On the question of the war and the moratorium, he constantly repeated that many of his staff were involved in the march with his backing and that he was influencial in getting the parage permit for the march. He also stated that he feels strongly that the violence during the weekend was in no way connected with the Student Mobilization Committee. When posed with the problem of Laos, the Senator several times tried to get off the t(H>ic but finally stated that he does not support the use of ground troops in Labs... unless Laos is in danger of being overrun. Finally after about a ten minute press conference one of the Senator's press aids mentioned that they must catch their plane but as they were about to leave one innocent bystander asked, if the Senator would like to speak at Drexel on Moratorium day in April, to which he replied, “ you’ll have to talk with my press secretary, but I*m quite sure we*re booked up on that day. What day did you say it was?** After conferring with a press aide it was learned that he will let the Drexel S.M.C. know if it is pos- Bible, yet he mentioned that *Mt*s highly unUkely that he is free ttiat day.** i ■ i I, / DREXEL TRIAHCLE 2-M.rrh 6, 1970 e c l i p s e l ! •B jm r wertttB i J t t m m HawN a s n e t flbis 'w ttM This Saturday, March 7th, a partial ecUn of the sun will occur over Philadelphia * • ♦ * eclipse will begin about 12:30 and better th The 11:30 Drexel bus will go to Baring Street on 95% of the sun wiU be obscured.
