LS A awards $52,000
to purchase equipment
By JAN BENEDETTI
The executive committee of the literary college has
awarded over $52,000 to sixteen departments, denying a re-
quest for funds from the controversial Program for Educa-
tional and Social Change (PESO)
The money, set aside from the college's budget as "in-
novative funds" will be used primarily for equipment pur-
chases.
According to Dean Frank Rhodes, distribution of the
-I____ - funds hinged on "improving
the range and quality of un-

additional salaries for the fac-
ulty and teaching fellows."

Odered along with the others.

From Wire Service Reports
SAIGON - The North Viet-
namese offensive gained mo-
mentum yesterday as the
Communists seized a major
town 75 miles north of Sai-
gon, shelled a junction city
within 15 miles of the capi-
tol and opened a fourth front
in the Mekong Delta to the
South.
The Communists' advance con-
tinued at up to about 15 miles a
day despite the second day of
massive U.S. air support of South
Vietnamese troops and pounding
of positions within North Vietnam.
American pilots reported that
the Communists' advance was be-
ing closely followed by batteries of
surface-to-air missiles, which for
the first time in the war, are be-
ing used to shoot down American
planes over South Vietnam.
The major areas of fighting yes-
terday were in the Central High-
lands and the areas north and
south of Saigon., There was rela-
tively little activity in Quang Tri
Province, where the offensive be-
gan last week.
South Vietnamese Rangers
claimed that the Communists suf-
fered a setback near Quangri
yesterday. A communique from
the Saigon command claimed 217
North Vietnamese were killed.
The claim, however, seems ex-
aggerated as only 11 weapons were
listed as captured.
In the air, more than 50 U.S.
B52 bombers pummelled North
Vietnamese troop concentrations
with more than 1,000 tons of
bombs in raids that were carried
out to deter Communist movement
in South Vietnam.
Early yesterday, a force of 10,-
000 North Vietnamese troops de-
stroyed a South Vietnamese regi-
ment and captured the town of
Loc Ninh, 75 miles north of Sai-
gon, and pressed on toward the
district capital of An Loc.

WASHINGTON (/P)-Secretary
of Defense Melvin Laird said
yesterday U.S. planes will con-
tinue to bomb North Vietnam
until Hanoi pulls its army back
across the demilitarized zone
and shows willingness to "nego-
tiate seriously."
"The enemy has shown no
willingness to seriously negotiate
in Paris," Laird told a news con-
ference. "It has shown no move-
ment back across the DMZ and
until these conditions aire met,
of course, we will continue to
use the necessary power in order
to protect our forces as they
withdraw from Southeast Asia."
At the same time, the defense
secretary made it plain that U.S.
ground troops will not be sent
back into South Vietnam to help
the hard-pressed South Vietna-
mese army deal with a grow-
ing North Vietnamese offensive.

campaign in 1968.
Also, F105 fighter-bombers are
being sent back from the United
States, with other aircraft on

Laird stopped short of declar-
ing a return to the full-scale
bombing campaign as it was be-
fore the Johnson administration
ordered a halt in 1968.
But he did assert that the
North Vietnamese have "com-
pletely set aside the understand-
ings of 1968" that he said led to
the bombing halt.
Johnson and Nixon administra-
tion officials have said there was
an understanding at the time
that the North Vietnamese would
not violate the DMZ and attack
South Vietnamese cities if nego-
tiations were pursued. The North
Vietnamese have denied ever en-
tering into any understandings.
