The progressive newspaper VOLUME 6 - N 0.4 Intercollegiate Highlights Research project hopes to aid in problem of recycling scrap mutat AMES, la.--(1.P.)--lowa State University students are attacking the environmental problem of junked automobiles. A project on the recycling of automobile scrap materials will be proposed by a group of lowa State students to the National Science Foundation under its new Student Originated Studies (5.0.5.) Program for summer 1971. Two graduate students, Robert E. Shaw in metallurgy and James R. Black in industrial engineering, are helping organize the 5 to 15 undergraduate students who will submit the project proposal. Project plans presently include these four points: 1) interviewing used car dealers, operators of auto salvage yards, scrap processors, steelmakers, foundrymen and metallurgists; 2) analyzing the results to determine the real bottlenecks to recycling in central lowa and the Midwest; 3) doing a cost-benefit study of alternate ways of processing or using scrap steel and other automobile materials; 4) investigating alternate markets for auto scrap steel, and other materials. S.O.S. is a program sponsored by the National Science Foundation for student originated and directed studies concerned with interdisciplinary problems related to the bio-physical and social environments. Law requiring reports on 'behavioral acts and offenses' challenged Haverford, Pa.--Arguments were heard recently, before the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, questioning the constitutionality of Pennsylvania laws requiring colleges and universities to report on certain behavior of students who receive state financial aid. Plaintiffs in the civil action are Haverford College, Goddard College, in Vermont, and 12 individual Pennsylvania residents who are students at colleges and universities in Pennsylvania and several other states. Three groups have filed amicus curiae briefs in the suit, acting as friends of the court in support of the plaintiffs. They are the American Association of University Professors, the Trustees of Bryn Mawr College, and the United States National Student Association, Inc. Bryn Mawr's brief also was submitted on behalf of at least 14 other institutions, including: Bennington College Carnegie-Mellon University, Chatham College, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, The University of Kansas, LaSalle College, The University of Notre Dame, Princeton University, The University of San Francisco, Sarah Lawrence College, Trinity College and Vassar Collge.

Dr. Koelling says USOE has a program studying ways to shorten the time from the discovery of information in education to its actual application in the schools. The first of its kind in the nation, the overall program will test accomplishing this through state departments of education, and three states--Utah, South Carolina and Oregon—have been selected as sites for pilot dissemination programs. Participants to be trained include field agents from the departments, information retrieval staff who will work with information systems (such as the Educational Research, Information Center) and the program directors within each state department of education. Participants will receive training in the general areas of interpersonal relations, communications, change and motivational theory and practice. Women's Liberation finds friends at the University of Wyoming LARAMIE, WYO.--(1.P.)--Women's Liberation, in its less militant forms, is here to stay, according to Kay Dillon, president of the Associated Women Students (AWS) of the University of Wyoming. Committees have been formed to research abortion, birth control, and women at the university level.

"The Status of Women," and two speakers from the Women's Liberation Movement are scheduled to speak. Panel discussions and the formation of sensitivity groups will be included in the symposium.

Lilienthal told a Pennsylvania State University audience on the Hazleton campus Jan. 12 that "American Middle East policy must change if we are to' avert another Vietnam. Only American evenhandedness and justice for the Palestinian Arabs can end the area tensions," said the author of `What Price Israel?' and editor of 'Middle East Perspective.' Dr. Lilienthal, in interpreting the trial of the Leningrad would-be hi-jackers, placed "the primary responsibility at the door of the Zionist leadership in the U.S. and the fawning politicians, ever-seeking the Jewish vote. Israelist propaganda in the U.S. has led to the dangerous East-West polarization and encouraged the harsh stand taken by the Soviet Union." The media, long guilty of myth-information on the Arab-Israeli struggle, Dr. Lilienthal charged, has grossly over-simplified the facts and distorted the story "in order to win more points for Israel as the Jarring negotiations at the UN begin anew. Each and every critic of Israel, Zionism or of Jews is being smeared as Communist, as anti-Semitic." In his conclusion Lilienthal stated that the threat of growing Soviet power in the Mediterranean and of a by power confrontation can never be averted through the spiraling arms race. Like it or not, we must de-Zionize the State of Israel and force Israel to become a bi-national state, for Arabs and Jews. After all, it is the U.S. taxpayer who is putting up the money for his own Armageddon." A question and answer period followed Lilienthal's lecture.

Because it is a first, the idea of a yearbook is not being too readily accepted. Many students are questioning not only the real purpose of the book, but also its contents. The name Reverie has already been selected and the order of the pages is planned and organized. A detailed account can be found on the bulletin board at the rear of the SGA office, along with a copy of the budget.
