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- About 2.5 billion pounds of grease were processed for use as a supple- ment in cattle and poultry feed in 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.

"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.

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. READING-Friday 8 p.m., February 24 Rackham Auditorium Ethics8 Religion, G-513 Union, 764-7442 From Wire Service and Staff Reports 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. /p- _ -lq qq kh, l 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.

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." Classes meet six consecutive weeks.
