U.N. session opens
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y: The U.N.
Assembly opens its 28th annual meeting
today under increasing criticism that it is a
debating society habitually bypassed by the
major powers.
The proposed entry of the two Germanys
and sharp East-West conflict over the future
of Korea promise to highlight the three
month session.
Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim
yesterday disthissed wholesale criticism of
the United Nations as "unjust and unfair."
He told a news conference "a lot was
achieved in 28 years ... if there was a will to
use it as an instrument of peace it would work
very well."
Waldheim also said that in many parts of
the world "there is still a lot of confidence in
the United Nations."
But in his own formal report to the
assembly Waldheim asked whether the
majority of the members "really want ail -
organization which is more than conference
machinery and a forum for the pursuit of
national policies."

The embassy said equipment for two
hospitals will be air-lifted into Phnom Penh,
while several relief groups filed urgent
messages to home stations for critically
needed medicine and supplies.
A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy said
two Cl3O cargo aircraft will arrive from
Travis Air Force Base, Calif. today—
carrying equipment for two 200-bed

Nader blasts decision
WASHINGTON A Food and Drug
Administration decision to withhold public
warning of certain hazardous medical
devices and drugs was called "irresponsible
and indefensible" yesterday by a Ralph
Nader organization.
The decision, baied on FDA feai that such
a warning could literally frighten some
people to death, is "the height of arrogance,"
said Dr. Sidney M. Wolfe, physician-director
of the Health Research Group.
"This policy is in the best interest of the
medical device, drug and food industries, but
in the worst interests of patients, other
consumers and their doctors who more than
likely will suffer from not having been
informed about these problems," he said.

Eco-Action Club plans recycling
New future for used
What will happen to this
copy of The Daily Collegian
when . . you throw it away?
Righ now, it probably will
become part of a local land'
fill with most of the other
University trash.
In two weeks, with enough
help from volunteers, the
Penni State Eco-Action Club
couldi recycle that Collegian.
_Eco-Action started
recycling paper as a project
of Spring Week 1971. Since
Spring 1972 the Club has
recycled paper collected from
every dorm area.
Eco-Action President Jack
Jackon said his aims for the
club are to continue the paper
recyCling program on
campus, to hold a big Earth
Week program and work
toward a University-run
papei recycling program.
Craig Humphrey, assistant
professor of sociology, Stuart
Mann; assistant professor of
OperEitions research, and
Margaret Hammond, a
graduate student in sociology,
studied the possibility of the
1 30
lOpm
office of maintenance and
operations running a paper
recycling .program for the
University.
There are three steps to the
.study. Two are completed and
the last one should be finished
in a month, Humphrey said.
In the first step, they
rummaged through
Dempster Dumpster bins to
determine the amount and
'type of paper the offices of 10
University buildings threw
away.
The second step was a 10-
week manual paper
separation study in five
University buildings.
Workers in these five office
buildings were asked to put
paper in one place and other
trash in another place.
Humphrey said there was
tremendous interest in the
project the entire time it was
in operation. He said near the
end of the 10 weeks of
separation the accuracy
decreased-and they got other
trash in with the paper.
Humphrey said, "I think this
is a result of people going
back to old habits. The
experiment had no effect on
interest." Humphrey said 90 ;
per cent of the paper they
received was uncontaminated
or acceptable for recycling.
The third step of the study,
the Cost Benefit Analysis, is
now in progress. Humphrey
said this step is used to decide ,
which of the nearly 50
different ways the University
could handle paper would be
most economical.
Last winter, when the study
received about a ton of paper
a day from the five office
buildings, Humphrey said
they offered it to Eco-Action
to recycle. But the club could
not get trucks early enough in
the morning to pick it up, so
that paper ended up as land
fill.
Eco-Action uses trucks lent
to them by the University to
take the paper obtained from
the dining halls to a storage
van in parking lot 83. Students
put used paper in trash cans
found in each of the dining

hall areas. Eco-Action
members bundle the I riaper
every day and it is picked up
from the dining halls- three
times a week.
Jackson said the club needs
members to help do this, and
although the club handles an
average of 20 tons of paper a
term, a volunteer only 'would
have to work about
_a half
hour a week. Jackson said
anyone can join the club.
Saturday morning the club
took 13 tons of paper collected
over the summer to
Williamsport to be recycled.
The club gives half the money
it gets from the paper sale to
Bob Helms, president of
Centre Carrier Corporation
for transporting the paper to
Williamsport.' The money
"hardly covers Bob. Heim's
costs," Jackson said.
Jackson said the club
makes little money from the
paper sales, so the Penn State
Outing Club pays their
advertising bills and' other
small expenses. Eco-Action
originally was a committee of
the Outing Club but now is an
independently chartered
organization.
Eco-Action has a Teach-out
program where members go
to schools, clubs or other
oranizations and discuss
ecology. The club .algo runs
Earth Week activities.
Jackson said he would like
this year's Earth Week
program to be even bigger
than last year's. Last year the
club brought Stewart L.
Udall,• secretary• of the
interior under Kennedy and
Johnson to' speak . —BW
