4—The Daily Collegian Thursday, Dec. 3, 1981 Paulsom Not enough world understanding Economic growth may be affected by the declining interest in foreign lang auges and the lack of knowledge of other countries, the dean of the College of The Liberal Arts said at commencement exercises on Saturday. "We are linked so closely to what happens in other countries that we can not live without them," said Stanley F. Paulson. 'n the years ahead, we need to know a great deal more about other countries and understand them if we are going to work with them. International education ha 4 become a new national need." Our international links include foreign imports, investments, communications an security, Paulson said. Vespite our interdependency on other cultures and nations, Americans know toci little about other languages, ways of thipking and interests, he said. tot example, a .UNESCO study found ATOricans receive less exposure to other countries by television than 100 other Former mascot remains in coma Norman Constantine, Nittany Lion m4scot from 1978 to 1980, remains' in stable ,condition at the University of Peimsylvania's hospital, a spokeswoman for:the hospital said yesterday.

"United States companies have only 100 sales representatives in Japan, of whom only a handful can speak Japa nese. Japan has over 10,000 representa fives, in the United States, most of whom speak English. As Sen. Hayakawa asked, `Who do you think sells more?' " Besides trade value, Paulson said, foreign language study is important for dealing with problems Americans share with non-English speaking people. Paulson praised the United States as the world's leading exporter of education and noted that the University has about 1,500 graduates working abroad. , Paulson addressed about 1,800 Univer sity graduates and their families at Fall Term commencement in Rec Hall.

The $666,000 project, which will be funded by the Commonwealth's Department of General Services as part of a handicapped accessibility funding program for state colleges and state-related universities, is scheduled to begin early next year. At its Nov. 20 meeting, the board announced that modifications will be made to elevator controls, water fountains, restroom facilities and doors. En trance ramps will also be added. The board is expected to approve sketch plans for the construction in May. The buildings to undergo improvements are: Agri cultural Engirieering, Aithouse, Animal 'lndustries, Arts, Boucke, Business Administration, Carnegie and Carpenter. Also: Chambers, Chandlee, Dieke, Electrical Engi neering, Forum, Frear, Hammond, Human Devel opment, Kern and McAllister buildings. Also: Mechanical Engineerig, Mineral Science, Mueller, Music, Noll, Osmond, Rackley, Rec Hall, Sackett, Tyson, Visual Arts; Walker, Whitmore and Willard buildings. At the meeting of the board's Committee on Fi nance, Steve A. Garban, University vice president and controller, presented a financial report of Uni versity current funds for 1980-1981.

Box 13094 Research Mangle Park, N.C. 27709 An Equal Opportunity Employer M/F Abortion bills reappear House members expect anti-abortion bills to pass By RON WATERS Daily Collegian Staff Writer After an anti-abortion package of bills was killed in a state House committee two months ago, its supporters vowed the fight was not over. They were right. House members who both .favor and oppose the legislation expect the bills to pass in the House when the matter comes to a vote Tuesday. "I had said predictably that the overwhelming majority of the House members would support this legislation," said prime sponsor Rep. Gregg L. Cunningham, R-Centre County, "and that we had one committee that's membership was not reflec tive of the view of the entire House. And anyone who knows anything about the legislature agreed with that." A member of the Hous , Health and Welfare Committee that rejected the bill, Rep. Joseph Hoeffel, D-Montgomery County, said although he expects the package to pass, it will not have the full support of those members with anti-abortion voting records. "When one considers the 150 to 50 traditional breakdown on anti-abortion bills, Gregg's point is well taken," Hoeffel said. "However, several members:who voted against it (in commit tee) have pro-life voting records " The committee narrowly defeated the bill 13-11 on grounds that portions of the bills were unconstitutional and vaguely written. The bills' sponsors and supporters say such legislation is needed to protect women from biased counseling received at commercial abortion centers, "Abortion is a multi -million-dollar industry," said Garnett Biviano, chairwoman of the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation. "Any moneymaking industry of that proportion ought to be controlled." ' She said 65,000 abortions. were performed in the state last year, which is an increase of 35 percent since 1975. She attributed the increase to the profit incentive of the abortion clinics. Cunningham said testimony at three public hearings, held in September, indicated that women were being victimized when they were in an emotionally vulnerable state. "Some of the wildest, most incredible allegations I've ever heard in my life have been made concerning this legislation and it's very clear to me that the commercial abortionists feel that they stand to lose a great deal in terms of their commercial interests," he said. "They understand very clearly that the more information that a woman gets the more likely'she is not to agree to have one. So it's against their economic interests," he said. Among the more controversial measures that have been removed from the bill were reqiiirements that color photo graphs of fetuses be made available to women seeking abor tions, that death certificates be issued for aborted fetuses and that the fathers of the aborted fetuses be notified. Also, a mandatory 72-hour waiting period from the time a woman requested an abortion until the time it could be performed was reduced to 24 hours. Despite the changes, Hoeffel still questioned the bills' consti tutionality. He said four statutes requiring waiting periods people • Audrey Rodgers, associate profes sor of English, spoke on "The Virgin and the Whore: William Carlos William's Women and the Imagination Some Reflections" on Nov: ii.

Hudson, the founding president of the PPGA in 1969-1970, was honored for the excellence of his professional work in the preparation of counselors and for his continuing leadership on behalf of the counselors of Pennsylvania in his organi zational roles. • J. Larry Duda and James S. Vren tas, professors of chemical engineering, before an abortion can be performed have been struck down in the past year by four federal courts of appeal, which are one step below the Supreme Court. Three were for 24-hour periods and one was a 48-hour period, he said "The Supreme Court has consistently ruled that the state may not interfere with the decision-Making process unless a compelling interest exists, such as regulating health facilities and choosing which medicines to use," he said. Cunningham said teams of constitutional lawyers have studied the bills and the wording of the bills should survive any reasonable test. He said different courts have ruled differently on the same issue. Bridget Whitley, president of the state National Organization for Women, said the bills go beyond restricting' abortions performed in clinics. "This bill hag' an impact on birth control because such devices as the lUD (intrauterine device) are in danger, if you match the definition of abortion with the bill. , Nothing in the bill mentions birth control, but it is certainly in the back of their minds." However, the bills define abortion as the termination of a clinically diagnosable pregnancy, Cunningham said, thus ex cluding birth control devices. Another provision proving controversial is the decision whether a fetus can survive outside the womb. If either the doctor performing the abortion or a health board determines that the fetus might survive outside the womb, then the presence of a second doctor would be required. The method of abortion most likely to result in a live birth then must be used. "The abortionists don't like to admit the idea that babies are being allowed to die after they're being born alive as a result of botched abortions," Cunningham said. Included in planned abortion amendmentS, added to a Senate bill that would outlaw "tough man" boxing events, is the provision requiring that abortion centers keep accurate public records of the type of procedures used and the circumstances surounding each abortion such as the woman's age, marital status and the , number of previous pregnancies. Names would remain confidential. Also included in the amendments is a provision that any individual or group can sue to prevent a clinic from conducting an abortion. "Anybody can file suits that enjoin any action that anybody else is about to perform," Cunningham said. "That's always been the law." However, those provisions threaten every center in the state with "witch hunts," Hoeffel said. 'Pro-life groups can'pick out any case they want, go to court and try to shut down the center," he said. "It's bizarre beyond words. ' I'm not against reporting in theory, but when you combine it with private action it scares me." The package also prohibits government owned or operated clinics and hospitals from performing abortions, except if the mother's life is endangered or the pregnancy is a result of rape or incest. "This is good law," Cunningham said. "It reflects the orientation of the majority of the Commonwealth. It is what they demand. So it was inevitable that this was going to pass." have been named co-recipients of , th 6 William H.
