There were scattered jeers from
demonstrators in a crowd of 7,
000 at Santa Monica Civic Audi-
torium.-
"We shout down the hecklers,"
Nixon said. "They don't have a
chance."
More jeers came. The crowdI
roared, drowning out the heck-I
lers. "That's it,-sock it to 'em,I
sock it to 'em," said Nixon, smil-

The speech, standard Nixon
fare,' called for new leadership
and said Democrats have had on-
ly a "knee-jerk" reaction to Am-
erican problems. .
There were peace chants from
hecklers and the Republican
presidential candidate said at
one point that it should be clear

"We support Alpha Kappa Al-I

body's got to stay and fight. They
can work from outside the struc-
ture and we shall work from with-

Panhel approved a statement
last night to be sent to the Regents
requesting a "reaffirmation" of
Panhel's authority to impose
changes on sorority constitutions.
Panhel derives its power to over-
see the membership selection of
sororities from the R e g e n t s

heads and National Panhellenic
Council have questioned whether
Panhel dose indeed have this pow-

Miss Canady said in her report
that Panhel has the unquestioned
authority to act, that waiting un-
til 1970 to drop rushing privileges
contradicts Panhel's stated belief
that the rushing system can be
discriminatory, and that the op-
tions presented the houses which
had not signed left "loopholes" for

NEW YORK (P) - Hubert H.
Humphrey said yesterday, "I feel
a little sad," at Sen. Eugene' J.
McCarthy's refusal to endorse
him for the presidency.
The vice president's comment
at an airport news conference
referred to McCarthy's statement
Tuesday night that he would not
endorse Humphrey at this time,
but that there were. conditions
he hoped Humphrey would adopt.
McCarthy called for a-shift in
Vietnam war policy, a restruc-

machinery.
While flying from Boston to
New York to accept the state's
Liberal party presidential nomi-
