APS coordinates news of University campuses The Associated Press Service, with its main office at University Park, is a loosely defined organization with the broad aim of bringing the journalistic efforts of the Com momwealth Campuses closer together. The Press Association, formed in 1964, currently is involved in several projects designed ultimately to achieve that aim. APS sends a weekly newsletter to each Commonwealth Cam pus carrying news and items which might be of interest to editors of student papers on the affiliated campuses. The newletter is supposed to "supplement news they get from other sources." according to Gerry Hamilton, General Manager of APS. APS also sponsors training sessions and conferences for the news staffs of the Commonwealth Campus papers. APS has helped newspapers on the campus cut operating costs, speed production time, and improve the format and con tent of their publications, Hamilton said. It has helped begin publications on campuses that had none and aided struggling papers in need of some expert advice. "In fact," Frederick Erb, assistant general manager, said, "the Press Service is involved in any area even remotely con nected with the student press." Former APS staff members who now teach in high schools have reported that their experience with the Press Association has.been of great help to them in••working with high school papers. • , . The Press Association is proposing to set up an APS bureau at each Commomwealth Campus. If the proposal is accepted at the next general APS meeting, the Press Association will begin to train a manager and one or two reporters for each campus, Hamilton said. Their job will be to acquire and edit news on the campus for distribution to University Park and the other Commonwealth Campuses. Erb said APS is looking for students 'interested in working with the Press Association. Reporters for the weekly news bulletin and administrative and office help are needed, he said. For further information, Erb can be reached through The Daily Collegian office. The APS has long range plans to merge with two similar press associations in Pennsylvania to form a statewide press service. Hamilton said he hopes to see the merger occur within two years. 01,112 V , POMO - L 6 'ti., ... 76. MM!!!M!111311111 INC. Member of W.L. says movement not antimmen Many people are undcr the misconception that members of Women's Liberation are "anti-men," according to Dianne Weiss, treasurer of Women's Liberation of State College. Mrs. Weiss, a graduate student in political science. said that, aside from' radical feminists, who are not part of the Women's Liberation Movement "most women's liberationists are not opposed to men." In fact, she said, women who become involved in Women's Liberation groups find their relationships, both with other women and with men, become "more humane." The center of activities for the local group is the recently acquired Woolen's Liberation House, located at 245 E. Hamilton Ave. Used as Meeting Place According to Mrs. Weiss, the house will be used as a meet ing plate. as well as for disseminating information and provid ing referrals for abortion counseling. Group members have organized a library for accumulated books, magazines and articles pertaining to Women's Liberation. There is no national Women's Liberation organization and, like other Women's Lib groups, State College's :a an in dependent one. Mrs. Weiss said that though the group has officers, the members "try to stay away from leadership" within the group. Haven't Developed Leadership She explained that "women haven't developed themselves as far as leadership abilities go" and that they don't want any one women to dominate the group. One of the group's major activities. according to Mrs. Weiss, is researching various fields of concern to Women's Liberation. She cited discrimination of women at the University as one of these areas. Referring to the disproportionate ratio of men to women at the University, she claimed, "If we had the money, we could legally bring,suit.against Penn State. Abortion Another Area _ . Abortion is another area in which a group of the women have done research. Mrs. Weiss said group members have Members of folded SDS join with faculty group The local chapter of the New University Conference this year will extend membership to graduate and undergraduate students. The dissolution of the University's chapter of Stu- dents for a Democratic Society during the summer prompted the move. NUC member Steven Weiss said the local action will not affect the national NUC, whose membership will remain restricted to faculty members. Weiss said the members of NUC take a "radical socialist" point of view. "How Penn State Rules." an 80 page pamphlet researched and written by the local NUC, will be published and sold early this term. Weiss said he hoped the pamphlet, modeled after ."How Harvard Rules," will be kept up to date with new editions each term. Articles will detail the type and amount of classified research done at the University, and the pamphlet will contain editorial opinion on "where the movement should go." The local NUC hopes to acquire close ties with other Penn sylvania universities to "coordinate radical activities," Weiss said. It also will be in touch with the regional organizer of NUC. Forums and speakers will be presented during the year. No meeting dates have been set yet, but interested students are asked to contact Weiss for more information. LIKE STE.iiIO?

One of the things women discover when they join Women's Liberation is that their problems in, for instance, marriage, are "social and not individual," Mrs. Weiss said. Most of the group's 20 active members are married. and the membership includes graduate students. wives 01 graduate students or young faculty members and three ministers' Most women "don't realize they're oppressed until they get into a marriage situation." td's. Weiss said. She added that women also encounter discrimination when they become graduate students or begin job hunting. Undergraduate women. she said. "are treated more as peo ple." As far as discrimination against women goes. she said undergraduate women "don't think they're really seen it, which she indicated may account for the small number of un dergraduates in the group. "We're starting to attract more undergraduates, - Mrs. Weiss said. Due to the increasing interest in Women's Liberation, the group will hold an open house Oct. 1 and a meeting for new members the following week. Women's Liberation regularly meets at 8 p.m. every Thursday. 'Chicago' to open Jazz Club season The Jazz Club will be bringing Chicago back to Rec Hall Oct. 17, according to Club President Jim King. The Jazz Club, according to King. exists to promote and present good music, not strictly jazz. Membership in the club costs $3, and entitles mem bers to discounts of at least $l, on up to two tickets for each concert, and first choice of seats. Last year, for example, the jazz club held four con certs in Rec Hall. If a member attended and took a date to all four, he would have saved $8 on tickets. Since mem bership costs only three dollars, he would be five dollars ahead.

Unait are of Oppression Jim said that this year membership may have to be limited to about 4,000, because, "we promise all our members seats at major concerts. But if too many mem bers decide to attend a particular concert, and each one brings a date, we may not have enough seats." Member ships will be sold on a first-come-first-served basis. Ticket prices may be higher this year, because the groups' prices are so high, averaging $15,000 an appearance, The Jazz Club, according to Jim, seeks to make a profit on its major concerts so that it is able to hold smaller concerts in Schwab auditorium featuring jazz musicians. Such concerts usually lose money. Also, the club would like to sponsor several free concerts in Schwab this year. Besides holding concerts, the Club maintains a record collection of more than 150 jazz albums. Records may be borrowed by presenting a Jazz Club membership card at the HUB desk. Memberships will be sold starting Monday at nine a.m. on the ground floor of the HUB. The first meeting of the Jazz Club is Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. in 215 HUB.
