Seven local women
honored by NOW
By SHELLEY WOLSON
The Ann Arbor National Organization
for Women (NQW) presented its first
annual Susan B. Anthony awards last
nirht to seven local women.
The awards, previously called the
Uppity Women Unite awards, were
postponed last year and rescheduled for
this month to celebrate suffragette
Susan B. Anthony's 158th birthday.
"These awards will be presented an-
nually on her birthday in the future,"
said Harriet Behm, President of the
Ann Arbor-Washtenaw County Chaper
of NOW.
:THE HONORS are presented in
recognition of womenand men in the
Ann Arbor community who have made
a: positive contribution in the struggle
for women's equality.
Excerpts read from some of An-
thony's letters, and several speeches
set the tone of the meeting, which ended
with the presentation of awards.
President Behm presented awards to,
the following women: Marcia Feder-

1976, according to figures from the
National Renderers Association.
bush for her efforts to eliminate sexism
in schools; Jean King for organizing the
Michigan International Women's Year
(IWY ) delegation at the Houston
Women's Conference; Marilyn Kolton
for her work with the Washtenaw Coun-
ty Advisory Commission on the Status
of Women; Cathy McClary for helping
establish the Ann Arbor Women's Crisis
Center; Jane Myers for influence on the
community from her Ann Arbor News
column; Karen Rice for her work
toward ratifying the Equal Rights
Amendment (ERA); and Sue Wallen-
dorf for her efforts in the domestic
violence project, helping battered
women.
"WE ARE PROUD to give these
awards and recognize these women for
their efforts," said Behm.
"I could see someday having this as a
federal holiday," said publicity chair-
person Anne Hargreaves. "The city has
officially declared February 15 (An-
thon y'sbirthday) as Susan B. Anthony
Day," she added.
In accepting their awards, the women
stressed the need for elimination of
employment discrimination while each
expressed her individual concern. They
also encouraged ratification of the ERA
and support for local organizations
designed to help,women.

POET, AUTHOR:
The Old Ways, arth Household,
Regarding Wave, Turtle Island -0
Gary Snyder writes in his introductory note that'
Turtle Island is "the old/new name for the con-
tinent, based on many creation myths of the
people who have been here for millennia, and
reapplied by some of them to 'North America'
in recent years." The nearly five dozen poems
in the book range from the lucid, lyrical, almost mystical to the mytho-biotic,
while a few are frankly political. All, however, share a common vision: a
rediscovery of this land and the ways by which we might become natives of
the place, ceasing to think and act (after all these centuries) as newcomers
and invaders. A tentative cross-fertilization of ecological thought with Buddhist
ideas of interpenetration is also suggested, reflecting the poet's own life with
his family and comrades in the foothills of the California Sierras.

LANSING-The House Civil Rights
Committee, overriding the objections of
its outspokenly liberal chairman, Perry
Bullard, approved legislation yester-
day raising the legal drinking age from
$8 to 19.
The legislation, which already has
passed the Senatet overwhelmingly,
now goes to the House floor where even
its opponents expect it will be ap-
proved.
COMMITTEE MEMBERS who voted
for 19 as the new drinking age but
against 21 indicated their primary con-
cern is the effect of the current law on
school discipline.

AFROTC OPEN HOUSE
High school officials have lobbied
lawmakers complaining that 18-year-
old high school seniors are causing
problems by drinking and providing
booze to younger students.
"This increase to 19 will get it out of
the high schools," said Rep. Stephen
Monsma (D-Grand Rapids).
GOVERNOR WILLIAM Milliken has
endorsed raising the drinking age to 19
but not to 21.
Secretary of State Richard Austin
who opposes raising the drinking age
said alcohol related accidents among
young persons are consistant with the
rate for adult drivers. Eleven per cent
of all accidents are alcohol related.
"It's my feeling that raising the
drinking age to 19 is not going to reduce
the accident rate," Austin said. "I don't
think it's going to solve the problem."
Austin said less than three per cent of
young drivers, 16,000 or 600,000 drivers
between ages 18-20, are involved in
alcohol-related accidents and to deny
the majority of responsible young
drivers would be an injustice.
Austin said he would rather see
dealing with alcohol abuse for the en-
tire public, and extending the probation
period for new drivers from the present
one year to up to four years, to make
drivers more responsible.

SPEED READING AND STUDY SKILLS
Improve your grades by learning how to use your
textbook and time effectively.
This course is designed for those who want to
develop efficient study habits. Students will learn
speed reading with general and text material and
reading skills that can be applied to a wider range
of subjects.
This class offers the benefits of both individual
attention and group interaction. Enrollment is recom-
mended to all undergraduates (particularly
transfer students). All are welcome to join.

and of varying reliability."
Sen. Birch Bayh (D-Ind.), chairman
of the panel, told the Senate in secret
session that "our investigation has tur-
ned up no conclusive evidence that
could be used in a court of law."
BAYH ALSO said the committee
found no evidence that narcotics in-
telligence activities affected the final
terms of the Panama Canal treaties
negotiated by the United States and
Panama.
the drug data was presented to the
Senate by its intelligence committee,
and all senators with access to it were
subject to censure under the Senate
ethics code for unauthorized disclosure.
Staff employes who violate the rule face
possible dismissal.
Majority Leader Robert Byrd of West
Virginia earlierhad warned his
colleagues, against leaks, saying the
confidential material fell within the
range of both national security and in-
dividual rights.
HOWEVER, portions of the data
already have been widely reported by
the news media, mainly based on field
reports from agents of the Drug Enfor-
cement Administration and other agen-
cies.
The Justice Department repeatedly
has called the reports unsubstantiated,
noting that Torrijos himself "has never
been the target of an investigation."
