Ecologists 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 stri ke set 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. The group, calling itself the Peace Hostages Committee, has collected 15 signatures from people willing to spend time in North (See COLLEGE, Page 8) attacks; spread attack U.S. destroyers From Wire Service Reports N o r t h Vietnam's three- week-old drive into the South intensified yesterday along the southern coast east of the central highlands.

COMMUNICATION URGED: LSA executive commds uss Ceau 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."

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.
