Female
advance
ag. slow
By PATTI CAPARELLA
Collegian Staff Writer
'At the Farmers High School in 1859,
not one of of the schools 69 science
and practical agriculture students
was female.
Although the Farmers High School
went on to become more than just an
agricultural school it became the
Pennsylvania State University its
College of Agriculture was still a
major area of study.
Since then, more and more women
have enrolled in the University's ag
riculture program. In 1968, 50 women
enrolled in the University's College of
Agriculture and in 1984, 469 women
studied agriculture.
The University's peak year for fe
male agriculture majors was 1978,
when 899 women were in the major.
Since then, the number of women
studying agriculture has decreased,
partially because of a University
wide decrease in student enrollment,
said Carolyn Sachs, assistant profes
sor of rural'sociology.
"In the College of Agriculture, the
number of women on the faculty has
increased; however, there are still
not enough women in the faculty to be
role models for the female students,"
Sachs said.
"We did a study about three years
ago of women studying agriculture
and whether or not they were encour
aged or discouraged to continue with
their major," Sachs said, "Many of
them gave accounts of being discour
aged."
"There's no doubt that there are
obstacles women must overcome,"
Sachs added.
However, Dorothy Blair, assistant
professor of nutrition and_ agricul
ture, said that at the University,
women agriculture students get a
hands-on experience, including driv
ing tractors, farming on the Universi
ty farm and using regular farm
equipment and tools.
• Women are not equally dispersed
among all of the majors in the col
lege. The animal bioscience, animal
production, environmental resource
management, agriculture business
management, and horticulture ma
jors are most popular with women
students. However, almost no women
are agronomy or forest product ma
jors.

Animal research:
Project suspended amid abuse charges by activists
By WILLIAM KRONHOLM
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON A medical research project that
inflicted head injuries on laboratory baboons was
suspended by the government yesterday after a pre
liminary investigation showed mistreatment of the
animals.
Margaret M. Heckler, secretary of health and hu
man services, ordered the project stopped after receiv
ing a report from the National Institutes of Health
indicating "material failure to comply" with
guidelines requiring humane treatment of laboratory
animals.
Animal rights activists, who had occupied offices at
NIH for four days in a protest of the research project,
hailed the decision as a victory and ended their sit-in.
"This is a tremendous victory for which we thank
Secretary Heckler," said Alex Pacheco, chairman of
the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals. "It is the
first of many steps that must be taken to stop the
hideous abuses of feeling animals that go on in federal
ly funded laboratories."
Heckler's statement did not mention the four-day
protest at NIH, but did note that "serious concerns"
have been raised about animal treatment at the
University of Pennsylvania head injury clinical re
search center in Philadelphia.
She said an NIH investigative team gave her a
preliminary report yesterday morning; and the univer
sity was being given a chance to respond.
"In the meantime, until all questions about the use of
primates in these head injury experiments have been
satisfactorily resolved, I have instructed NIH to sus-
Crews continue to
spray campus elms
University crews will continue pes
ticide spraying tonight through to
morrow night as workers from the
Office of Physical Plant attempt to
wipe out the population of bark
beetles threatening to spread Dutch
elm disease to campus elms.
Marcus Schneck, University assis
tant news bureau manager, said
spraying will begin at 9 p.m. each
night.
"The effort (begun with spraying
on the Mall and around Old Main
Wednesday night) will move out
around campus now," Schneck said.
He said the area sprayed Wednes
day night was sprayed again last
night as an added precaution.
Schneck said signs will be posted
during the day to warn people not to

pend the use of federal funds" for the project, she said.
The Philadelphia project receives about $1 million a
year in federal money to research head injuries.
Dr. James B. Wyngaarden, director of the NIH, said
the preliminary report "indicates material failure to
comply with the Public Health Service policy for the
care and use of laboratory animals."
He said areas of special concern include the supervi
sion and training of laboratory personnel, the manage
ment of anesthesia and . pain relievers for research
animals and the adequacy of techniques that are
supposed to ensure a sterile environment.
Wyngaarden also said the investigation included
viewing more than 60 how's of videotapes of the
experiments by government and outside experts.
Those videotapes are the subject of a grand jury
investigation in Philadelphia because they were stolen
from the lab in May 1984 by members of the Animal
Liberation Front, a radical animal rights group.
The tapes show researchers using a device that flips
the heads of baboons forward to inflict injuries similar
to those suffered by humans in automobile accidents.
Evelyn Andrews, a spokeswoman for the university,
said officials there had not yet seen the NIH report and
therefore had no immediate comment on it.
University officials have said previously that the
experiments comply with rules governing laboratory
animals and are valuable in helping find treatments
for human head injuries. They also have said their
laboratory has been subject to repeated inspections,
with no indications of problems.
The animal rights activists, in their victory
statement, said the Philadelphia situation is not
unique.
park their cars in the spraying areas
because the pesticide rnethoxych
lor can damage a car's finish.
"People should watch for the
signs," he added.
Schneck said aerial spraying by
helicopter, scheduled for 6 a.m. Tues
day, apply pesticide to campus and
some areas of town.
• "(The ground spraying on campus)
is just an additional precaution,"
Schneck said.
University officials began this
spraying campaign when they
learned that five diseased American
Elms cut down on campus this week
were infested with bark beetles,
which could spread Dutch elm dis
ease to other elms in the area.

Japanese governor visits the University
By JEANETTE REBS
Collegian Staff Writer
The governor of Hokkaido, Japan spent Wednes
day touring the University Material Research
Laboratory, as part of a fact-finding tour of the
United States to learn about high-level radioactive
waste, a topic of controversy in Japan.
Through an interpreter, Gov. Tadahiro Yokomi
chi said that even though the country has had a
nuclear power plant for 30 years, the issue of the
handling and disposing of high level nuclear waste
has become a matter of dispute only in the last
three or four years
Hokkaido, which covers 22 percent of the land
area of Japan, is the prime candidate for the
disposal site for high-level nuclear waste. The
people of this region are questioning the mainte
nance of the nuclear waste, he said.
"(The concern) is because this is the first time
(nuclear waste is an issue) for Japan and there are
many unknowns." he said.
Toxic waste from the nuclear power plant is
currently housed at the plant or sent to be reproc
essed, because Japan has no disposal site.
While the people of Hokkaido are nervous about
Turner trying to keep
CBS takeover bid alive
WASHINGTON (AP) Ted Turn
er, who wants to buy CBS, asked
Congress on yesterday to defeat
legislation he said would shield
CBS from his takeover bid.
"I'd like it to be decided by the
CBS shareholders," Turner said.
But CBS Chairman Thomas H.
Wyman, also testifying, urged the
bill's passage "to protect the fun
damental interests of the Ameri
can television viewing public."
The legislation, offered by Sen.
Larry Pressler, R-S.D., would
force the Federal Communica
tions Commission to hold full
blown evidentiary hearings on
Turner's unsolicited offer to buy
CBS and any other hostile take
over attempt involving a network.
Current law leaves the FCC out

of most network activities, and
provides for the commission to
consider only whether the transfer
of individual stations is in the
public interest.
Turner said if there were some
thing wrong with his offer, he was
sure the commission would uncov
er the problem during the normal
course of action on the application.

nuclear waste, Yokomichi said the issue has not
become a national matter. However, he said that a
national poll on nuclear waste showed that 70
percent of the Japanese people do hold anxieties
about the issue and that a waste site will be built in
the country
He said that this anxiety could stem from the
World War II bombing of Hiroshima by the United
States.
"Ideally, we should have started our research in
high-level disposal at the time we started our
nuclear power plants, but that was not the case
and I think we are actually quite late starting our
research in this area," he said.
During his visit, Yokomichi will also be visiting
the U.S. Geological Survey, the Department of
Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency
and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
"We came here to learn about the system of
dealing with the high level waste, we wanted to
know some of the problems, we also wanted to
know the present status of the research and where
the research is heading in the future," he said.
During his U.S. tour, Yokomichi visited Wash
ington state. He said that after visiting the nation
al nuclear waste facility there, he noticed a
Wyman conceded under ques
tioning that it was probably the
first time that CBS had ever sup
ported legislation calling for addi
tional regulation on the broadcast
industry
As he has in the past, the CBS
chief said Turner Broadcasting
System would not have the finan
cial resources to run a national
television network.
"I think the issue is relatively
simple. The issue is whether the
resultant enterprise would be fi
nancially strong enough to be com
petitive and offer the kinds of
programming that have seemed
important and do seem important,
I think, to millions of people across
the country," the CBS chairman
said.
Current commission rules call
for full-blown and potentially
time-consuming evidentiary hear
ings, only if there are substantial
or material questions of fact as to
whether the license transfer would
serve the public interest.
Turner's record and his fiancial
plan for CBS, are being scruti
nized now by the FCC staff.

Explosions kill two
in Louisville plant
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) —A 20,000-
gallon storage tank at a chemical
plant ignited and ruptured yesterday,
setting off a series of explosions that
killed two people and forced about 100
people to flee their homes, officials
said.
The flames spread to three other
tanks at the Borden Chemical plant, a
subsidiary of Borden Inc., but fire
fighters extinguished them and no
other tanks exploded
Plant officials believe sparks from
welding flew up and ignited the tank,
which was filled with a phenol-for
maldehyde resin, lifting it off a three
foot base, tipping it on its side and
spilling the chemical.

Correction
Because of a reporter's error, the Daily Collegian incorrectly reported that
University history professor Jackson Spielvogel said that Hitler would
have been regarded today as one of the greatest political leaders of all
time, if he had died before the Holocaust.
Spielvogel stated that while some historians believe that Hitler would
have been regarded as one of the greatest German leaders of all time if he
had died before 1938, the beginning of World War 11, Spielvogel does not
agree with the historians.

similarity betimen that state and Hokkaido.
Just as Washington state is farthest away from
the central government in Washington D.C., Hok
kaido is the farthest region away from the Japa
nese central government. He pointed out that like
the United States, Japan's proposed waste site will
be located far away from the governmental head
quarters.
He said he came to Penn State because of the
worldwide reputations of researchers at the Uni
versity including two material science professors,
Della and Rustem Roy.
"None of (the Japanese) are really experts in
this field and yet we are very curious and we came
here to find out as much as we can, we are quite
ambitious in that endeavour," he said.
Della Roy, said the University was one of the
first higher educational institutes to research
high-level radioactive waste 12 years ago, and is
now renowned for this research.
"For several years now our University has been
involved in nuclear waste management and inves
tigating alternatives to nuclear waste forms, their
characterizations and studying their stability,"
she said.

year, plant manager Chuck Stevens
said.
The three were building catwalks
over a field of 20-25 outdoor storage
tanks when the explosion occurred.
About 100 people, including resi
dents of four nearby streets in south
western Jefferson County, were
