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.
Under this policy, girls can
remain out all night while
other students in the residence
hall will volunteer to open the

One girl said, "No curfew is
worth the t cmpor ar y in
convenience."
Suggestions for improvement
of this system were discussed
in which the overall favorite
policy was that of the key
system. 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. So far, it has been
successful and has support
from the women in that
residence hall.
Officers for the Summer Ex
ecutive Council were announc
ed. The president is Mimi
Petka (1 2 th-English-

Carol Block (7th-mechanical

Maisie Benefield (3rd-liberal

secretary and treasurer will he
chosen this summer by the ex
ecutive council.
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.

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.

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.
