University report explains safe radioactive waste disposa
By BRUCE L. CARY
Collegian Staff Writer
A report developed by a diverse group of
University experts is being distributed
throughout the state to inform citizens about
safe disposal of low-level radioactive wastes.
The purpose of the report is to provide state
decision-makers with information on the so
cial and technical aspects of waste disposal,
the director of the Public Involvement and
Education in Radiation (PIER) said Tues
day.
John Vincenti said the report will help
public officials confronted with the possibility
that a disposal facility might be built in their
area.
The report is being distributed as part of the
PIER program of the University's Institute
for Research on Land and Water Resources
English prof to speak
at Shakespeare library
A University English professor
will speak at the Folger Shake
speare Library in Washington,
D.C., April 16 to commemorate
William Shakespeare's birthday.
Joseph G. Price said the direc
tor of the library chose him from
among English and American
scholars to give the lecture.
Price said his speech, " 'Were It
Not That I Have Bad Dreams':
The Internalization of Character,"
deals with a soliloquy of Hamlet.
The speech shows how Shake
speare goes beyond convention in
his depiction of his tragic hero
Hamlet, he said. Shakespeare also
goes beyond the character to see
how the mind is working, Price
said.
"To be asked to give this lecture
is an honor," said John W. Moore,
assistant professor of English.
Price lectured on Shakespeare
in Strafford, England, about five
years, ago when he spoke at the

"I have spent my life with it and

"The challenge is to get the stu

Price said he works closely with
the plays and performances. Dur

he said he encourages students to
see professional productions.
"The course is a success if the

In addition, state legislators have been

Vincenti explained the reason for this lack
of response is that no application has yet been

The number of women realtors in

cause they tend to better understand
the needs of home buyers, the presi

Realtors said yesterday.
Nancy Ring, speaking at a Wom
en's Alliance seminar in Eisenhower
Chapel, said 60 to 65 percent of the 163
real estate agents on the board are

One reason for the increase of wom

the business especially residential
sales, said Ring, who is a realtor for
Kissinger, Leonard and Brower Real

The seminar was intended to offer
information on careers for women in
real estate and answer questions con
cerning women and real estate in

Men have been forced out of the job
market in real estate recently, leav
ing more job opportunities for wom

of sales makes it difficult for men to
make a substantial br consistent
enough income to support a family.
The length of time needed for an
agent to establish a strong clientele is
also a deterrent for men in the busi
ness; said Ann Millman, a realtor for

P$U;. Congo: set up .academic exchange
Representatives of the University '
and the Capitol Campus signed a pact
of academic cooperation Tuesday
with the Marien Ngouabi University
of Brazzaville, People's Republic of
the Congo, officials of the two institu

The program, which will involve
exchange of professors, researchers;
and graduate students, was made
possible through a $50,000 grant from
the United States Information Agen
cy (USIA), said La Marr Kopp, dep
uty vice president for international
programs at Penn State.
The exchange program is being
conducted through Capitol Campus
because its faculty is more geared
toward the academic needs of the
Congo university, said Sylvain Ma

Ngouabi University.
The emphasis of the program will
be in the areas of American studies,
business management and regional
planning areas of particular'inter

"The students have a great deal of enthusiasm,"
Epstein said. "To an extent, they surprised me."
Insight is an annual program, sponsored by the
Business Student Council and the College of Busi

discuss the realities of business careers.
The program included three sessions of panel
discussions concerning the eight majors in the
college. The panel members spoke for 10 to 12
minutes each and then answered questions.

holding these sales since 1962 when
it made $176, she said. The branch
had about 130 volunteers working on

Vincent J. Costa (junior-QBA), co-chairman of

presented a problem for some students who had

However he added, "I feel the speakers were
