Shapp Encourages Pressure
In Solving Pollution Problem
By ROSEMARY SCANLON
(Editor's note: Miss Scanlon is the editor of the Capitolist,
student newspaper at the University Capitol Campus near
Harrisburg.)
Milton J. Shapp, independent candidate for the democratic
nomination for governor of Pennsylvania, yesterday urged
students at the Capitol Campus to maintain pressure at all
levels of government as the most efficient means of solving
the pollution problem.
"It is absolutely right and it is a necessity," he said, "that
students , strike out on the issue and prevent the generation of
today from leaving a world unfit to live in. You are making
tremendous progress, but you must keep on applying
pressure."
Speaking in the campus auditorium as part of the Political
Action Week sponsored by the Young Democrats Organization,
Shapp told the students, "Unless you press forward, my
generation will leave this country in such a mess that there
will be no future for you and your families."
'Lead Fight'
"There is no doubt," he added, "that unless you and you
alone lead this fight, in another 10 years we'll have to walk
around wearing oxygen masks to breathe, and our water will
be unfit to drink.
"At every level of society, people must be involved on a
Workers Give Partial
Nod to ORL Protest
The Workers' League last night gave qualified support to
the Coalition for Peace sponsored march on the Ordnance
Research Lab April 15. The march is part of the local ac
tivities for the April Vietnam Moratorium.
Jim Blythe, a League member, said, "As far as we're con
cerned, it (the march) is a retreat," adding that marching
will not help to end the war. The League has called for the
support of the Coalition for Peace and the Students for a
Democratic Society in implementing its five-point program,
based on its belief that "only mass labor action can stop the
war."
The Workers' League program calls for:
—an immediate and unconditional withdrawal of all
United States troops from Southeast Asia:
—a full escalator clause in all worker contracts. This
automatically would raise wages as the cost of living rises;
—a 30-hour work week for all workers, paid at the rate of
a 40-hour week. The work would be divided between the
workers, with no loss in pay.
—jobs for all, to combat racism;
—a political party formed by organized labor as an alter
native to the two major parties, which are "responsible" for
the war and labor injustices.
League members criticized SDS and other New Left groups
for not taking a leading role in ending the war, and working
too much along the lines of "middle class politics."
Labor's handling of the recent mail strike also was
criticized. Blythe claimed that "organized labor should have
closed down New York" in a general strike to support the
postal workers.
The Workers' League will hold a rally April 14 as a part of
its attempts to gain support for its program and to confront
other campus organizations.

direct and forceful basis if we are to have any impact on the
pollution problem."
Calling for continued pressure on the federal, state and local
levels, Shapp said the federal government will have to change
spending priorities if the problem is to be solved. "We still
spend 575 billion on the military," he said, "and with such a
lopsided budget it is difficult to find sufficient funds to clean
up the water and to restore the land.
Priority Values

"Through your pressures on' ending pollution in this country,
we can force the reconsideration of priority values. Then we
can end our involvement in Vietnam and start our involve
ment here," Shapp said.
On the state level, Shapp called for the establishment of
special courts to handle pollution matters. "The judge would
be an expert in the field, and would be able to render a more
fair verdict to the public," he said.
At the question and answer session following his talk, the
independent gubernatorial candidate called "the fiscal mess in
Harrisburg" the most important problem at the state level.
"Until we solve it," he added, "we cannot effectively deal with
all the other problems."
Abolish Patron System
Shapp recommended reorganization of state government
through application of business management techniques, and
the abolition of the patron system. At the same time, he called
for the elimination of the state sales tax and said it should be
replaced by an income tax.
"We need one and only one broad based tax in the state. The
sales tax is regressive, is a nuisance tax to merchants, and
costs an excessive amount to collect. It should go by the
boards and be replaced with an income tax with built-in ex
emptions at low income levels," Shapp said.
"My goal would IT , to eliminate the sales tax and adopt an
income tax," he added.

Spider Discovered
In Campus Building
Additional specimens of Loxosceles refuescens, a relative
of the brown recluse spider, have been found on the University
campus and spraying is underway to ?educe any possible
infestation.
The first evidence of the presence of the spiders came when
Stanley G. Green, assistant professor of entomology extension,
found a Loxosceles rufescens in the basement of a campus
building a month ago. Further investigation uncovered eight
additional spiders.
Green then began a systematic inspection of likely places
where 'spiders might be found, with special emphasis on
warm, darkened areas they prefer as a habitat. He found
evidence of Loxosceles in some utility ducts where warm,
moist areas around underground heating pipes provided
suitable living conditions. Maintenance and housing personnel
are conducting a careful searc% of all basement and storage
areas as a precautionary measure, and workmen, including
contractor personnel, frequenting these areas have been
cautioned to be on the lookout for evidence of spiders.
Green said that Loxosceles rufescens is one of six
identified species of the family that includes the brown
recluse, or Loxosceles recluse. The bite of four of the six is
known to be poisonous to humans, but this does not include
Loxosceles rufescens. But in the absence of evidence to the
contrary, it should be considered poisonous. Green continued.
Chances of being bitten by the spider are remote, since it is
extremely shy and remains in darkened, isolated areas except
when it ventures forth to feed, usually at night. It will bite
only if disturbed.
Green pointed out that spiders are beneficial in controlling
insect populations, and that non-poisonous varieties should not
be indiscriminately eradicated.
The spider is most easily identified by long, very thin legs,
about one inch in length. The body Is light brown in color,
about one-half inch in length, and on close examination a
violin-like figure of darker coloration may be seen on the top
part of the body. Harmless spiders that have similar coloring
have much thicker legs.
Green has asked that he be notified if specimens of Lox
osceles are sighted.
