PAGE FOUR AWS President Raps 'Tokenism' By LINDA McCLAIN Collegian Staff Writer Nina Comfy, president of the Association of Women Stu dents, said last night women are "tokens" on this campus as much as the black student. Addressing the AWS Senate, Miss Comly said, "Women are not given as much con sideration as blacks are." Miss Comly also spoke about trends such as the double stan dard and the "combine and rule" theory which exclude women in campus equality. "Women are being pressured from all sides to join hands with the residence hall men in a Residence Hall Association," Miss Comly said. "Yet, when the North Halls Student Association (an RHA) presented its budget to the budget committee, no funds were set aside for women's ac tivities." Miss Comly also sa i d although men and women stu dents have been combined un der a Dean of Students, the Dean of Students and the Vice President of Student Affairs are both men. Miss Comly also called for a halt in discrimination i n women's admissions. in other business, AWS pass ed the Emergency Executive Authority Act, which is to "provide for active an d responsible student leadership in campus crisis situations." The bill stated that the ex ecutive delegate could form ulate legislation in the name of the AWS Senate. It will go into effect immediately upon agreement of the six executive members. in a c a mpus emergency situation. McElwain Hall extended its evaluation of its experimental extended After Hours Service, which it termed as being largely successful.

This system provides a personal residence hall key to each girl. Although McElwain's extend ed AHS ended May 17, many students have expressed the need to continue some type of extended after hours system. The women residents of Stone Hall have adopted a new policy called Project '7O, an experimental residence hall system. in which the students work together to make their AWS Council operate more ef fectively.

Jeeps Cause Army Deaths WASHINGTON (AP) One of the U.S. Army's most popular vehicles has been killing hundreds of soldiers and disabling thousands for nearly a decade. The Army has defended it, done nothing to change it, and relied solely on a training program for the youths who drive it. It is the Ml5l quarter-ton truck, popularly called a "jeep" although it is produced to Army specifications by Ford Motor Co. It tips over at an alarming rate. It is not the same "jeep" that became famous in World War 11, taking its nickname from the initials for "general purpose vehicle" and later becoming the trade name for the product developed during the war by the Willys company. In the fiscal year 1967, the Army, although it pro fesses no concern publicly, reported 3,538 accidents involving the Ml5l, killing 104 Gls and injuring 1,858. The Army says it has no casualty totals covering the life of the Ml5l. Overturns without collision accounted for 36 per cent of the accidents. In 1967, the National Safety Council reported only 1.6 per cent of domestic traffic accidents involved overturns. Designed for combat use over rough terrain and apparently well-suited to that purpose, the Ml5l is nevertheless widely used on the highways. It has an independent rear wheel suspension long recognized by automotive experts as dangerous ex cept to skilled drivers of sports and racing cars. $4OO Million Spent The Army has spent nearly $4OO million for 123,017 of the little vehicles since the first one rolled off the production line in September 1960. ~:, ~.. ..... , . ..... .......,...„ • ~,, . • . . . , .... .. i . ~. .• .. ... . .. ~.... • . - • • ,- • ~_ • • PAPER GOODS Kolb Cited By Society No Concern 20% off Everything in Store Shirts & T Shirts THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, UNIVERSITY PARK, PENNSYLVANIA FORMER COLLEGIAN SPORTS EDITOR Ronald Kolb (center) is shown here receiving the Citation for Achieve ment presented annually by Sigma Delta CM, professional journalistic society.

Military Defends• Vehicle The Army Material Command estimates there are 90,000 in operation today—including 12,346 in the con tinental United States. The 34.1.51's stability problems have been called to the attention of the Transportation Department's National Highway Safety Bureau, and it is investigat ing them. The Army publicly expresses confidence in the jeep and its combat advantages. It reports that the driver training program has cut deep into the accident statistics. But one Army safety official told the Associated Congress Offers Plan John Gibbons, Undergraduate Student Government congressman, has proposed a program which he believes would make more effective use of student government. Gibbons said he hopes to propose a bill which would set up a student government-sponsored commission to isolate University problems. After receiving the consensus of the University community, the com mission would draw up a position on the problems, and, after consultation with experts, proposed ideas for solutions. In addition, the commission would submit the "University position paper" to legislators or to those people who best could "effect solution," Gibbons said. The commission would include representatives from all "student interest groups and faculty mem bers," according to Gibbons. 358 E. College Ave. ABM Program By EILEEN MCAULEY Collegian Staff Writer A program on military spending and the Anti-Ballistic Missile system will b e presented at 8 tonight in the Wesley Foundation. The program, sponsored by the local branch of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, will include a film and will be followed by a panel discussion on military expenditures. The New Democratic Coalition and the Wesley Foun dation are co-sponsors of the program. The film, "Defense and Domestic Needs: Contest for Tomorrow" was shown several months ago on NET's Public Broadcast Laboratory. It presents an analysis of national priorities as well as the making of decisions in national defense. It includes comments •by leading politicians, including Senators John Stennis, (D- Miss.); Eugene McCarthy, (D- Minn.); Stuart Symington, (D- Mo.); and William Proxmire, (D-Wis.); House Armed Ser vices Committee Chairman L. Mendel . L. Rivers (D-S.C.); Press it is precisely because of the suspension pro blem that the Army is now testing—after 8 1 / 2 years—a new model with a safer suspension system known as the "semi-trailing arm rear suspension system." The system, the official acknowledged, has long been known to the industry. But even if the new model tests out and is ordered, delivery won't begin until the current Ml5l contract with Ford expires in December 1970. Thousands of the sturdy Mlsls probably will remain in use for years after that. Student commission members would be drawn from the college councils, USG, the Men's Residence Council, the Association of Women Students, the In terfraternity Council, the Panhellenic Council, the Town Independent Men's Council and the Graduate Student Association. The commission would "become a center for new ideas, an institution for social change and a con solidation of student-faculty opinion" within the frame of reference of the University, Gibbons said. "If USG, as an elected body, is going to speak for its constituency, it should first find out the opinion of its constituents," he said. Gibbons said he views student lobbies and a student government communications organ as additional possibilities for increasing the effectiveness of stu dent government. •:.)1.•. , •: . :::.1A71 . .: . •.:1,1':'..•[•*i1tii1;t1:11.': .
