denounce
weak bill
By JIM O'BRIEN
Discussion continued yesterday
in the State Senate over a weak
pollution control measure, that
has been denounced by a coalition
of fourteen environmental groups.
"Senate bill 1278 is not an en-
vironmental protection bill," said
John Watts, chairman of the En-
vironmental Law Society (ELS).
"It is a badly written law which
would leave us worse off than we
are now."
The proposed bill is based on a
stronger air pollution control
package passed nine months ago
by the state House. The original,
legislation, House bill 4260, re-
ceived high praise from environ-
mental groups in the state. The
substituted measure deletes all but
one section of the stronger bill.
The new bill came out of the
Senate Committee on Health, So-
cial Services and Retirement,
headed by Senator Alvin DeGrow
(R-Pigeon). It was proposed by
Sen. Arthur Cartwright (D-De-
troit), after a closed meeting be-
tween committee members and
representatives of Michigan indus-
tries.
According to Rep. Raymond
Smit (R-Ann Arbor), the sponsor
of the House plan, Cartwright's
bill would not include citizen or
labor representation on the Air
Pollution Control Commission. He
feels that the penalties for air
polluters provided in'the amended.
version are, far too low to be ef-
fective.
"It calls for a fine of $500, and
$100 each day pollution violationsx
persist. We propose a fine of $10,-
000," Smit said.t
The one section of Smit's bill
which is retained in the Senate
Splan concerns fees levied on in-i
dustry to pay for surveillance and
monitoring of emissions. Even this
inclusion "may cause mechanical
problems" in collection of fees, be-
cause of the vague language of the
bill, Smit maintains.
A vote on the new bill is ex-
pected this Friday.
Commenting on the possibility
of passage, Watts said that ELS
would "rather have no environ-
mental protection bil passed, and
start from scratch in the next ses-
sion of the legislature, than see
this bill passed."

Nat'l, local

tomorrow
By GENE ROBINSON
President Nixon's order to
expand the air war in Viet-
nam has brought new life into
the antiwar movement, as
demonstrations and a host of
other activities have been
planned this weekend both lo-
cally and nationally.
A national student strike, called
for tomorrow by the National Stu-
dent Association (NSA), has re-
ceived widespread local support
and a coalition of local antiwar
groups will stage a diag rally and
a march in conjunction with the
strike,
In addition, an ad hoc group
of University professors, including
Mayor Robert Harris, have offered
to spend two weeks each in North
Vietnam until U.S. bombing ofI
that country ceases.
Also, at last night's meeting the
LSA Student Government came
out in favor of a university wide
strike in conjunction with the na-
tional strike tomorrow.
Local antiwar leaders are hop-
ing for a large turnout at the rally
and march to support the strike.
jHowever, in 'a confrontation
with organizers of the local ac-
tions yesterday, President Robben
Fleming refused to suspend Uni-
versity classes tomorrow in honor
of the strike.
Fleming refused to comment
last night on whether or not he
would grant the antiwar groups
the use of Hill Aud. for a memor-
ial service in honor of the antiwar
leader of the Saigon Students As-
sociation, who was reportedly re-
cently assassinated.

COMMUNICATION URGED:

WOMEN'S NEWSPAPER
'Herself' commences publication
By MARCIA ZOSLAW
The Literary College Executive
Committee held an open forum
with LSA and Residential College
(CRC) members yesterday to dis-
cuss the recently released report
on RC.
The report, the result of a nine-
month study by a student-faculty
committee, recommends continu-
ing the 480-member college units
present four-year program but
criticizes the lack of RC-LS&A
communication. It also calls for a
permanent RC faculty.
To remedy the communication
lag, the report suggests represen-
tation from both colleges on a
joint board to serve as a liaison
between the two units, to decide
policy questions and to approve
faculty contracts.
It also recommends that 25-35
per cent of the faculty should
teach exclusively in the college in
order to give it greater stability.
Participants agreed yesterday
that greater communication be-
tween RC and LS&A is necessary
in order to increase the transfer-
ability of innovations pioneered
by the experimental college and to
better review its development.
They warned, however, against
the unwieldy bureaucracy a joint
board could create. RC Dean
James Robertson stressed the need
to avoid "an overlap of responsi-
bility."

Declaring that "our interests are not
confined to cooking, cleaning, clothing,
children, and Him," a new women's news-
paper marched onto the local media scene
this week.
The monthly newspaper - "her-self" -
is designed to remedy inadequate local
media coverage of issues relating to wo-
men, according to Belita Cowen, one of
its founders.
A front page article criticizes traditional
"women's magazines" for failing to "dis-
cuss issues of national import, or con-
troversial topics about the very role and
ing attitude toward the women's move-
ment.
In addition, the magazine offers a large
listing of women's organizations and serv-
ices in the Ann Arbor area.
The newspapers is printed in tabloid
format, similar to underground papers.
But Cowen insists "her-self is not a piece
of rhetoric."
"It provides interesting and important
information for the community that often
gets buried in other publications and seeks
to encourage the actions of women in a
wide variety of areas." she adds.
The newspaper is published by Her-
