Human Fi - ght backed Members from various student organizations rallied at the State College Municipal Building yesterday to support the State College Human Rights Ordinance. Represented groups included Hops, United Farmworkers Union, University Coalition, Women's Liberation, lesbian Collective, Era United and Nscar. . The ordinance is designed to prevent discrimination on the basis of religion, race, sex, age, physical handicaps, national origin, marital status and sexual orientation. The pickets feel that Mayor Hays did not publicize the FTC to rule on drug ads WASHINGTON (UPI) The Federal Trade Com mission announced yesterday its third action involving the drug industry-within the past year, saying it may require warnings of side effects in advertising for non prescription antacid medicines. The move was announced both here and in a Palm Beach, Fla., speech , by FTC commissioner Elizabeth Hansford Dole before a group of 'nonprescription drug manufacturers, the Proprietary Association, which showed , immediate opposition. Association president James Cope said the requirement could lead to confusion and higher costs for Experts say breeder PITTSBURGH (AP) While environmental and social concerns about the safety of nuclear reactors dominate the headlines, experts in the field are worrying about whether there is enough uranium available to fuel the new plants. ' The question of supply is closely tied to economics and the link ,took the spotlight last year when Westinghouse Electric Corp., announced it was breaking its contracts to sell uranium to utilities because it could not affort to provide the fuel at the price that had been agrded upon. Uranium producers include about 100 small mining operations and a handful of corporate giants such as Anaconda, Gulf, Exxon, Kerr-McGee and Union Carbide. They; employ hundreds of men in sprawling complexes, digging and blasting for uranium ore in sandstone or shale. Uranitim is extracted from the ore, refined into a gas and enriched, or concentrated, at one of three government facilities. The uranium is then sent to a fuel fabrication plant where the'gas is'condensed back into a solid and pressed into pellets. The pellets are placed into 12- or 14-foot rods. A bundle of rods goes into the nuclear reactor to generate power. A breeder reactor produces more fuel than it uses, and despite controversy over environmental issues, it is the hope of the nuclear power business. If it becomes standard, there would be no uranium shortage, its supporters say. Critic Ralph Nader says it is not needed. "The cumulative demand for uranium oxide through the year 2000 can be fulfilled from presently known resources without any economic penalty," he says "It's difficult to get a straight answer from anybody," says Dr. Thomas B. Cochran of the National Resources Defense ordinance enough and that not enough areas of the or- - dinance have been studied. "We're protesting the fact that there's no progress being made on the study," said Pam ErdelY, president of Hops. The • protestors picketed downtown yesterday evening, carrying signs asking for a halt to discrimination and handing out papers ex plaining the ordinance. One man ran up and grabbed a paper, exclaiming, "I'm with you, honest to God! I like it!" First introduced in 1973 by HOPS, AWS, GSA and other groups, the ordinance was dropped by the State College Municipal Council in February, 1975. Due to public pressure, Mayor Hays studied the legislation. Last night the ordinance again went before the borough council. "The struggle has been consumers "Furthermore, it un derestimates the American consumer's intelligence and willingness to accept responsi bility to read the labels when self-medicating," he said. The FTC estimates that about $2 billion worth of over the-counter antacid stomach remedies are sold each year. There are about 50 such products on the market. Last year the Lood and Drug Administration required most of the products to start including warnings of side effects on labels, such as statements that particular products should not be used by persons with some diseases or persons taking other kinds of medication. Dole said the FTC was going on for three years," said Josh Rubinstein, member of Farmworkers. "They don't want to deal with extramarital sex and sexual preference.", "I support the cause," added Bob Ross, member of Nscar. "It's relevant to minorities, women, homosexuals, everybody. There's a moral issue in volved here. That's why I'm here." One of the sign carriers felt that age discrimination is a very important issue because it effects so many students. Another feels that ending all discrimination in em ployment, housing and banking is the main issue. One picketer said, "What we're trying to say here is we've been patient," summed up Rubinstein. "We're not being passive now. We want them to act soon." considering instituting trade regulation rules for antacid ads mandatory controls that carry fines of up to $lO,OOO per day per violation. She said an FDA survey showed that 43 per cent of the population got most of their information about over-the counter drugs from ad vertising and thus might overlook the label warnings. FTC officials said one estimate indicated as many as 300,000 persons a year might be hospitalized because of adverse effects of all , over the-counter drugs. Last June the FTC started an inquiry into whether state restrictions on price ad vertising of prescription drugs were inflating prices. reactors may solve ' Council, a private group of nuclear critics. Studies by the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA) suggest that the supply of uranium under the earth's crust is adequate if mining companies are willing to spend the additional money to get the mineral from scattered deposits and low concentrations deep under the earth's surface. A major new report on nuclear fuel supply has just been released by the Edison Electric Institute, the principal association of the nation's investor-owned electric utility companies. The study, which took a year to complete, found that the general uranium supply for the years 1975-84 will be adequate, but only provided that individual utilities arrange to share an immediate surplus and ,work to increase the production of uranium for the later portion of the period. But the study also found that uranium supplies for the 1985- 94 period could prove to be inadequate unless the pace of exploration in this country is accelerated and "major new discoveries are made and aggressively exploited," or foreign supplies turn out to be greater than now anticipated. The study assumed that any impact of the fast breeder reactor would not be significant before the mid-19905, but that its development is vital in the long run to extend the useful lifetime of the natural uranium supply. In the face of all this, the Edison Electric Institute made a number of sweeping recommendations, among them that: —The Energy and Research and Development Administration accelerate its program to recover natural uranium.

The resolution authorizing the trip was given final approval by voice vote, but not before a number of roll call votes, con siderable levity by senators and a harsh chewing out by Mansfield who said senators were "making fools of ourselves." The British had offered a copy of the Magna Carta, considered the blueprint of constitutional government, to the United States if a delegation of 25 House and Senate members would come to England to pick it up and take part in a ceremony. The size of the delegation annoyed some House members, who mistakenly viewed the mission as some kind of junket, and the House initially rejected the proposal. Later it approved it after pressure from House Speaker Carl Albert. Protesting the large delegation. Sen. Dewey Bartlett, R-Okla., offered an amendment, passed 45-29, to cut the delegation from 25 to During the vote on the Bartlett amend ment, many senators were laughing loudly and joking over their economy votes.

James Allen, D-Ala., proposed an amendment.to have each delegate pay his or her own way. Allen said if lawmakers were forced to pay for their travels, "there would be a lot fewer junkets." At that point, Sen. John Pastore, D-R.1., called the situation "a comedy of errors" and said the Senate should either reject the in vitation or go along with the British request. "We.are making a ridiculous spectacle of ourselves," said Mansfield as he jumped to his feet and began a lecture on courtesy to the British. "This is the 200th year of our in dependence, and here we are making fools of 'ourselves," the Democratic leader said. He said the offer, specifying a 25-member delegation, came from the British govern ment and was "a good faith invitation by the people we defeated. "It speaks highly for our cousins that they thought so much of our 200th anniversary of independence from them" to offer the loan of the 750-year-old document, he said.

Until the 19505, the government purchased all of the uranium that was mined, using it for weapons. Later; utilities joined the market, as did industries like Westinghouse which build nuclear power plants and act as uranium brokers. Until 1973, a pound of uranium cost $6. Today, the price is more than $35 a pound. Contracts for uranium delivered in the 1980 s and 1990 s call for prices of $4O a pound. The price of uranium has skyrocketed for several reasons. The oil embargo created additional demand, inflation boosted costs and demand increased— all at the same time: There are 56 nuclear power plants in operation today, generating almost 9 per cent of the nation's electricity. There are construction permits for another 70 plants and 90 are on order. Some scientists predict that by the year 2000, nuclear power plants will generate 50 per cent of the nation's electricity. ERDA says that as of Jan. 1, 1975, there were about 1.1 million tons of discovered domestic uranium reserves available for mining and processing at a cost to mining companies of $3O a pound. U.S. District Judge Philip C. Wilkins denied the mistrial motion. He said the carbines would not be allowed into evidence and that the jury should disregard them. However, Wilkins said he would allow the shotgun to be introduced as evidence. The judge noted that Richard Hurlburt, who witnessed four bandits fleeing the bank, indicated in previous testimony that such a weapon might have been carried by one of the bandits.

Kissinger tenure matter of debate WASHINGTON (AP) The White House said yesterday there is no effort to ease Henry A. Kissinger out as secretary of state despite a statement by President Ford's campaign manager that Kissinger may resign this year. Ford's press secretary, Ron Nessen, was asked if Kissinger has indicated he might not want to serve if the President is elected to a full four-year term. "Not that I know of," he replied. Rogers C.B. Morton, for mer House member and former secretary of the in terior-and of commerce, told a 'private meeting of California Republicans Saturday that the secretary "is getting toward the end of a long political career" and many resign before next year. James Baker, un dersecretary of commerce, said Sunday in Nor Man, Okla., that Kissinger will not serve another • four years in the Cabinet if Ford is re elected. "He has been around a long time and I think the President believes it is probably time for a change," Baker said. At the State Department yesterday, spokesman Robert L. Funseth said after discussing reports of. Mor ton's remarks with Kissinger "The President has stated many times he would like the secretary of state to remain on as long as he remains President." Ford and Kissinger met for 50 minutes yesterday after which the secretary declined substantive comment, saying he did not kow what Morton had said about him. When a reporter offered a capsule summary, Kissinger said jokingly of Morton, "Is he running for President?" Former California Gov. Ronald Reagan, Ford's only 'major rival for the Republican presidential nomination, has sought to make Kissinger a campaign issue, saying he would not retain the secretary in his Cabinet. Morton spoke to 15 mem bers of the grassrooots California Republican Assembly, which sub sequently voted 25(}-15 to support Reagan over Ford. Morton's talk was in a private session, but his text was released Sunday by a Ford campaign aide, Larry Peck, after varying accounts had been published on the basis of newsmen's talks.
