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.
At issue are two amendments to the original acts creating
those programs. The amendments were passed by the 1969
legislature and require from the schools "the reporting of certain
behavioral acts and offenses committed by any enrolled
Commonwealth resident

Plan developed to sneed new educational information to schools
COLUMBIA, Mo.--(LP.)--Dr. Charles Koelling at the University or
Missouri will direct a training program designed to accelerate the
dissemination of education information through state
departments of education.
UMC .has accepted $76,790 from the U.S. Office of.
Education (USOE) for a grant entitled, "Pilot Training Project for
Personnel Participating in Pilot State Dissemination Programs."
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 latter category includes subcommittees for researching
academic status, leadership representation, financial aid
opportunities, and administrative opportunities for college
women," Miss Dillon said.
AWS has set up a day care center for children of married
women students, and Treasurer Janet Beck is establishing an
information center in the Union with brochures describing job
opportunities for women.
Further AWS activities, according to Miss Dillon, will be
highlighted by a Symposium planned for Feb. 23-25. The theme
will be. "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.
"The biggest problem we have now," Miss Dillon said, "is in
trying to convince women of the importance of this whole
liberation movement."
"Men who don't take equality seriously often hinder those
women who otherwise would." she added.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa., Jan.

has awarded a three-year,
$750,000 grant to The
Pennsylvania State University
to strengthen its programs in
environmental quality, Dr.

by Penn State, will enable the
University to establish an
Office of Environmental
Quality Programs and to
initiate a number of
multidisciplinary research and
education programs.
The office will contain a
center in which faculty and
students from many areas of
the natural and social sciences
can collaborate in the study
and development of
environmental policy.
Public service activities in
environmental areas will be
undertaken, and the office is
expected to serve as a catalyst
in stimulating new programs
and in coordinating existing
activities at the University.

Duarte and Villa Lobos. Segal

Suggests bi—national state
:,1,:,i1,10 .. 0thal Mideast lecture
promotes 'heated' debate
Assailing "the hysteria
being whipped up over the
Leningrad trials," Dr. Alfred
M. 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."

Yearbook expected
to be published as
SGA-student project
For the first time this
year, Penn State's Highacres
campus will publish a yearbook
in honor of its graduating
associate degree students and
portraying life on. campus.
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.
A contract has been signed
with The New York firm of
Bradbury, Sayles,
O'Neill-Paragon to publish the
Reverie. The book itself is
divided into four signatures,
each consisting of sixteen
pages, for a grand total of
sixty-four pages. The first

Much effort is being put
forth on the part d several

through the selling of
subscriptions and through

subscriptions have been taken
and patrons only number
thirty-two. The cost per book
is $5.00, with $3.50 to be paid
upon order and the rest upon
delivery. A budget has been set
