—The Daily Collegian Thursday, December 6. 1973 Program provides training PSII helps rural people, People who live in the country may be avoiding city problems, but they face many rural ones and are solving them with the help of the Public Affairs Leadership Program. The program began in 1970 "to promote a broadening educational experience for people who are going to be in decision making positions in the rural community," according to program Director Robert E. Howell. Rural people, including everyone from homemakers Specter PHILADELPHIA (AP)—The job of heading off impeachment proceedings against President Nixon will fall ,to Philadelphia Dist. Atty. Arlen Specter, according to a copyrighted story .in yesterday's editions of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. The newspaper quoted a Washington source as saying it was "logical and inevitable" that Specter will be named to lead the team of 11 lawyers charged with preparing Nixon's defense against any accusations stemming from the Watergate scandal and related charges. High among the defense team's duties is heading off impea r chment proceedings in the House, or, should that fail, preparing Nixon's defense against such an action, the Bulletin said. According to the newspaper, sources said hat Specter, 43, has been informed that the egal group could become largely an mpeachment defense team. How GM is responding to the energy problem. Over a year ago, we asked our plant engineers to establish an energy conservation program to cut waste, improve utilization and generally increase the effective use of our energy resources. In our plants -we're instituting programs to salvage oil and other combustible materials that were once thought to be waste materials of the manufacturing process. Then we're using those formerwaste mate rials to fire boilers in some plants and in others we're cleaning the oil and selling it to local power generating stations. It's v i method that has been tried and tested. It works. It's even economical. A system developed by General Motors engineers for "scrubbing" the sulfur dioxide out of coal smoke is moving at an accelerated pace. As the technology is proved out, we're making it available to anyone who can use it. There are large deposits of coal in the United States that will become immediate substitutes for oil when we can make . sulfur-bearing coal an environmentally acceptable fuel. • We are working toward improv ing the gas mileage in the cars we design and build. Wind tunnel experi ments, weight reduction programs and major programs for the develop ment of more - efficient engines are all being pushed ahead. And we are preparing ourselves to satisfy any increased future con sumer demand for smaller, more energy-efficient engines and cars.

A source close to the district attorney told the Associated Press Wednesday that Specter "will remain as district attorney until the end of his term Jan. 1." But the source said Specter could take on special assignments on his own time. Specter's first assistant Richard Sprague, for instance, is special prosecutor in the 1969 slayings of United Mine Workers insurgent Joseph .!`Jock" Yablonski, his wife and daughter. Reached at his family home in Wichita. Kan., Tuesday night, Specter declined to comment on the report, but the newspaper said he did not specifically deny that he had been approached about it: Neither did he deny that he had visited the White House to discuss it. - _ General Motors Transportation defense mass transportation systems. Those programs include the design ofbuses, new methods for the efficient opera tion ofbuses on reserved or exclusive lanes into and through - downtown areas or central business' districts, and the automated control of rubber tired transit vehicles on special guideways. Long range plans for mass transportation developed by GM were displayed in Washington at Transpo,72. ~.In addition to building standard rail commuter diesel electromotives, we have initiated efforts to produce locomotives powered only by elec tricity. GM, over many years, has done creative research which has been utilized by government agencies and transit operators in improving public transit. As urban transportation systems are designed and approved by the various levels of government, GM will be ready to build the hardware. Energy can also be conserved by the more efficient use of the cars and trucks now on. the road. It is in everyone's interest to get maximum gas mileage by maintaining cars and trucks in good order, avoiding exces sive speeds and quick starts, and by sharing the ride whenever conve nient and practical. For instance, driv ing at 50 mph rather than at 70 mph could increase gas mileage by about 20%. We are taking steps to remind our customers of these good driving practices. GM is determined to do its full share in the resolution of the energy problem. We also pledge our complete support for all reasonable govern ment efforts to increase available energy and maintain maximum con sumer choice. rural population in the country and has a problem with rural development, he noted. Because many young people migrate to the cities, the tax base' declines in rural communities, causing a problem in providing community services, Howell added. The rural community includes not only farms but - also forestry and fishing industries, and manufacturing firms that moved out of the sties. Vacationers are settling into many - new recreational areas in the country. The public affairs leadership program includes men and women between the ages of 20 and 40. The program workshop provides training in solving rural problems, with instructors from local and state governments, industry and the university faculty. Howell said the program hopefully will be supported by public and private sources in Pennsylvania within three years. The next three years will see a two-year program of intensive training for 72 selected participants and multi-county-based work shops focusing on local issues. According to Howell, local people will have 'a direct link to state and federal governments in dealing with rural problems through the program.

Psychologists' no deprivation LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP)—A pilot study by a team of University of • Kentucky psychologists shows children who attend day care centers do not differ mentally or socially from children who stay at home with their mothers. The study shows , family relationships ar s e apt to change as, a result of p4r ticipation in day care centers. Richard Winett, who headed the research team, said the study sheds some light on one controversial issue of the feminist movement: whether working mothers who leave their:children in day care cen ters are depriving them. The project is unique in that psychologists studied parents and children in different types of existing day care situations. Winett said previous studies have dealt only with demon stration-type centers. "The difference is that those are not typical of what goes on in the community," he said. "They use highly trained people and there's a small child-teacher ratio. There was a need to evaluate fairly typical situations." Winett said the most im portant findings of the study "are that apparently children are not harmed by day care Tonight and Special includes house salad with Italian dressing, THEN, 114VE YOU /7ENIZED 77-ICSE MEASURES YOU OEE/1 NECESSARY RN A .sHogr -7ERn assAricw OP THE SIfffRIA4S a' SOOMEAST AS/AN REPUeSE6S-7 and babysitting arrangements and that the family structure seems flexible enough to both accommodate and allow for these arrangements."
