Education on Smoking
and Health
A list of suggestions for
non-smokers to follow in a
daily attempt to make
smokers conscious of the
non smokers’ rights was
released recently by Dr.
Charles L. Leedham,
Chairman of the Penn
sylvania Committee on
Smoking and the Health of
Youth.
The release of this action
plan for non-smokers, as
well as a Non-Smokers’ Bill
of Rights, is one of the
Committee’s activities in
cooperation with the
National Interagency
Council on Smoking and

Penn State Ag Enrollment
The Pennsylvania State
University’s College of
Agriculture has enjoyed a
dramatic increase in
enrollment this year. The
increase has outstripped the
overall college increase ac
cording to Donald W. Parke,
executive vice president of
PennAg Industries
Association and a member of
the Executive Committee of
the College of Agriculture’s
Advisory Council in remarks
to the semi-annual meeting
of the Pennsylvania Inland
Fertilizer Association in
Carlisle, Penn, on January 8.
“According to reports
released at a recent meeting
of the Advisory Council, the
enrollment in the College of
Agriculture increased by 87
percent over 1970 while the
increase for Penn State
University as a whole was
only 21 percent," Parke said.
“It is thought that increase
awareness of opportunities
in agribusiness, a revival of
interests by youth in nature
and also the offering of a new
environmental course by the
College of Agriculture have
combined to increase the
enrollment. The new en
vironmental course being
offered is not to train

Week Set
Department’s Bureau of
Health Education.
The Committee, which
each year spearheads the
observance of Smoking and
Health Week, is a state level
interagency council that
provides leadership and
coordination in a statewide,
year-round educational
effort on the effects of
smoking and health. The 1974
Education on Smoking and
Health Week theme is “Non-
Smokers Have Rights, Too.”
The three basic tenets of
the Non-Smokers’ Bill of
Rights are: the right to
breathe clean air, the right
to firmly but politely speak
out their discomfort and
adverse reactions and the
right to act through
legitimate means to prevent
or discourage smokers from
polluting the atmosphere.
radicals but rather consist of
difficult scientific courses to
provide the future
generation with a bank of
talent in resource
management.”
The PennAg vice president
also noted that alumni of the
college are voluntarily
sponsoring a representative
who visits Pennsylvania high
schools and answers
questions about agriculture
and agribusiness. This has
probably contributed to the
good response.
