The Penn State University Veteran's
organization requested the University to
intensify its commitment to higher
education for veterans, PSUVO
.4resident Mark Kusnir said.
Kusnir said Pennsylvania ranks third
in the number of veterans eligible for GI
Bill benefits, but only fourty-seventh in
the percentage of those' taking ad
vantage of them.
"Veterans provide a resource that
. .lhould be tapped, especially in view of
' , like enrollment problem projected for the
' B os," he said.
Kusnir met with University President
John W. Oswald last week to present
PSUVO's recommendationS - for boosting
veteran enrollment. Oswald will respond
to the recommendations after conferring
liith the Committee on Veterans Affairs
. within the next three weeks, Kusnir said.
One major PSUVO suggestion was
that the University strengthen efforts to
recruit soon to be and recently released
service personnel by disseminating
information to discharge centers,
:Veteran's administration offices and
unemployment offices.
The group also asked the University to
consider a system of mutual credit

VA to start readjustment program
By MAIA FISCHLER . •
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
The Veterans Administration will initiate a counseling
program next month for Vietnam veterans who are having
persistent difficulties readjusting to mainstream American
life.
About 100 walk-in counseling centers across the country will
provide "preventative medical service . . . without what some
regard' as the stigma of a psychiatric diagnosis," program
director Dr. Don Crawford said.
Each center will be manned by a team of social workers and
rehabilitation . technicians with a psychologist as the team
leader, Kenneth McLean of the Philadelphia Veterans
Hospital said.
He said the program will provide a wide range of services
from employment advising to psychological treatment to
alcohol and drug rehabilitation.
McLean called the new counseling .idea an outreach
program.

after January, 1976.
Because of a difficult monthly
payment plan during in-service years
and a low return of about $220 a month
during four years of schooling, he said,
only 10 percent of those eligible have
taken advantage of the new bill.

"We're there for someone to reach out to," he said. "A lot of
times guys will come back home and find they have no one to
go to. This program will help them find their place."
The centers will be located in areas with a high con
centration of veterans, McLean said. He said Pennsylvania
counseling centers will be established in Pittsburgh and
Philadelphia.
State College veterans will not be greatly affected by the
new program because the Penn State Veterans Assistance
Office already offers services similar to those proposed,
Veterans Affaird coordinator Jack Swords said.
Swords said the emphasis of the University program is on
financial and academic advising, with personal counseling
playing a smaller role because of less demand.
He said the federal program would be geared more towards
metropolitan pressures as "a positive effort to seek out those
who haven't availed themselves of veteran programs yet."

U.S.. civilians to remain in Sinai
to monitor
WASHINGTON (AP) Up to 200 U.S.
civilians would remain in the Sinai
Desert to help monitor the Egyptian-
Israeli peace treaty under a tentative
agreement announced yesterday.
American aerial reconnaissance also
was assigned a key role in the formula
reached during two days of intensive
negotiations. The . principal
peacekeeping role was given to Egypt
and Israel, which will form mixed
patrols.
Secretary of State Cyrus Vance,
flanked by smiling Egyptian and Israeli
ministers, announced the settlement at
the State Department.
He said U.N. truce supervisors might

was to monitor Israel's withdrawal over
three years under terms of the peace
treaty with Egypt. But the Soviet Union,
in deference to Arab allies opposed to the
treaty, blocked that approach in the

Student tax refund bill rejected
By PAM MEDVE

Daily Collegian Staff Writers
Sens. H. John Heinz, R-Pa., and Richard S. Schweiker, R-
Pa.,joined a Senate majority last week in defeating a plan to
withhold Internal Revenue Service income tax refunds from
students who defaulted on their National Direct Student Loans.
Both said they believe any plan as far-reaching as the IRS
withholding plan should require congressional hearings
before being passed. Aides to bath senators said Heinz and
Schweiker felt not enough information on the plan was
available at the time of the vote and added that both said they
needed more time to research a plan of this scope.
The plan was part of the Treasury Post-Office and General
He said a poor veterans assistance
program will dissuade potential
volunteers from joining the' armed
forces and increase the necessity to
resume the draft.
"For some people, a combination of
serving their country and earning the
right to go to school can be a great thing.
There are alternatives to the draft, but
they depend on fair treatment of
veterans now," Clark said. -

deal with that important issue, and we
have done so satisfactorily," Vance said.
American technicians were first sent
to the Sinai in 1975 to help monitor two
partial Israeli pullbacks. The mission
was supposed to end, with the U.N. force
taking over.
Keeping the Americans there, Vance
said, is merely an extension of the role
which the Sinai field mission has been
playing in the past.
Vance stressed that the arrangement
is an interim one to last up to three
years. Beyond that point, he said, there
is no agreement.
The force will operate as a single unit,
according to Egyptian Defense Minister
Lt. Gen. Kamal Hassan Ali.
Vance said each nation will finance its
own group, and'he will seeli'the approlial
of Congress before the approximately
200 U.S. civilian technicians, now
stationed with the U.S. Sinai, field
mission, assume their new duties.
Vance emphasized there will be no
American military personnel stationed
in the Sinai.
He said if there is a U.N. presence, it
was agreed it will contain no Soviet or
American troops. The Soviet Union,
which had created the crisis over the
Sinai truce supervision by threatening a
veto of the existing U.N. Emergency
Force there, will not be able to veto the

guzzling carcinogens
WASHINGTON ( UPI) Beer
drinking Americans are being ex
posed to significant amounts of a
cancer-causing agent, and the
government should order brewers to
clean up their products, a public
interest group said yesterday.
In fact, according to the Center for
Science in the Public Interest, people
are probably downing 20 times more
of the agent nitrosamines from
drinking beer than they are from
eating bacon. -
The beer problem first emerged
about a year ago when the U.S.
Brewers Association told the Food
and Drug Administration of German
studies showing "minute amounts of
about 2 to 3 parts per billion" of
nitrosamines in some beers.
Michael Jacobson, head of the
public interest center, said his group
also told the FDA that in some cases
the amounts are as .high as 10 parts
per billion.
The center petitioned the FDA to
order that brewers "immediately
inform the public of the nitrosamine
levels in all major brands of beer sold
in the United States, and to give
brewers six months to demonstrate
that their products contain no

Government Appropriations Bill, HR *4393. However. Sen.
Harrison Schmitt, R-N.M., tacked an amendment to the bill
that blocked the default clause.
The Senate passed the amendment by a vote of 52 to 38.
Barbara Little, assistant press secretary to Schmitt, said
students originally would have been , randomly selected to,
forfeit their income tax refunds as payment. Schmitt said this
would be a violation of student rights, Little said.
Although the plan was originally proposed by the Govern
ment Accounting Office, Blain Aikin, a press aide to Heinz,
said the IRS opposed the action and Heinz believed it should
not be placed in the position of being a debt collector.
Aikin added, " There are universal concerns about defaults,
but this avenue isn't really appropriate."

Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan
said the combined force "was the best
that could be achieved under the cir
cumstance." Israel had begun the two
day conference by seeking the
establishment of a multinational force,
but that proved to be impossible.
Dayan said, "The main point is that
we the Egyptians and the Israelis
have agreed to work together to police
the buffer zone (between the military
forces of both countries )."
Both Egypt and Israel will have to give
formal approval of the proposal before
the troops and civilians begin

amounts of
"Beer can be made in a way that
does not cause nitrosamines,"
Jacobson said, "so some beers are
not contaminated while others are.
This is a perfect example of how
carcinogens in our environment could
be eliminated, if only government
agencies and industry were more
responsive."
The petition cited a study con
ducted by WLS-TV in Chicago which
found an
,average nitrosamine con
tamination of 5 parts per billion,
"with some samples containing
several times that much."
FDA spokesman Wayne Pines said
the industry reported last month that
"within a matter of a few months it
expects to be able to significantly
reduce or eliminate nitrosamines in
beer" and "we're confident" it can do
so.
"Our position has been that on the
basis of. what we know there's no
reason for anyone to change his beer
consuming habits," Pine said,
"which should be a moderate amount
of beer. We don't see any reason to
discontinue that."
