Nader: Stop Air Pollution Ralph Nader cites air pollution as one of the gravest problems fac. ing the nation today. What's his answer? Simple, get rid of all those engines under the hoods of our automobiles. Easy, isn't it. Once we have thrown away those old pollution forming internal com bustion engines what do we replace them with? Simple, external com bustion engines. Nader says that with relatively simple research, a steam engine could be perfected which would create less than one per cent of the present pollution rate and also give added torque, and run on any thing from kerosene to moonshine. One problem with this engine, said Nader, is it would be much simpler than the present engines and the auto manufacturers couldn't put as many parts into them that could break down! Towers' ( Coeds Lih By KITTY McCASKILL Staff Writer The Men's Towers' Council voted against coeds living in the Towers next year at a meeting Monday night. "Last week at a meeting with President Jones we discussed mak ing one of the men's dorms for girls. This affects us more than anyone, and we wanted to get your opinion," Jim Nantz, vice president of the Towers, told the council. "I feel this is one of the most important issues we've faced all year," Charles Dallara, president of Towers said. "Last Monday all the residence counselors discussed the possibilities for a w o m a n's dorm. "Next fall space must be pro vided for 375 more women," Dal lara added.

Dallara said. "Columbia Hall has been t h e main one under consideration, but all the girls at this meeting wanted two of the Towers. They thought Columbia Hall was too far to walk and also that soldiers from Fort Jackson hang around it," he said. Dallara reported he had asked for a chance to come present the facts to the Towers' Council before a decision was reached. He said President J o n e s had promised to give their recommenda tion serious consideration. "I think we have a good argu ment either way. If we ever want to have coed dorms at Carolina, this could easily cause problems and lower the chances of ever hav ing coed dorms," Dallara concluded. The Council then discussed hav. ing women in the Towers. It was br..ught up that having women in two of the dorms would cause com plications in the Towers' govern BIRD ri SPECIAL 5c kHETTI Salad Tea k Butter URDAY 5-8 P.M. Sinvited Too! COLUMBIA, S.

Since the Council did not favor giving M and N to women, the pos sibilities boiled d o w n to giving them H and J, the two freshman towers, or to opposing having girls in the Towers at all. A vote was taken and it was decided to present a resolution on not having women in the Towers. Columbia 'I For Southei Summer Olympics in Columbia?

Contributions of participating companies will be invested in a permanent scholarship fund to pro vide assistance to engineering stu dents at Carolina.

The building is used on a scheduled basis. "This program will be tried for a three month period after which it will be evaluated. There are no joint p) r o g r a im s of any t y p planned," lie said. "We see it as a good image to h-l up to the %% hole e h u r c h," Buniy said. "We can do better when we work together." "The w i rd ecumenical doesn't have the same meaning that it had ten years ago. It used to mean joining. To us now, it means unity but not union. We need to cultivate understanding," Bundy added. Father B r o w n, priest of the Catholic center said, "We needed the space since we wvere hampered in regard to religious exercises, and the Methodists generously of fered the use of their facilities." Father Brown cited an example of a similar center at Brandeis University. "We hope for a new Catholic center later. For an ecumenical goal a combined effort is more ef fective than a separate denonmina tional effort," lie said. Father Brown said the facilities of the former Wesley center are being used( on a contractual basis. rhe Cryan' Shames CS 9720 The Live Adventures of Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper Don ow ouLeOnM Sotrng That sAni Right GreenOnions KGi F (A 'spec ally priced ?-record setS 18 10 05%' and( i8 10 0614 !dl atpon -oblems position "where they have to pass a 'train' on the highways." Nader added that the brakes on large trucks are poor enough now without the a dde d weight and length. "Truck manufacturing com panies wvon't even publish the stop ping figures for their trucks." Referring to implied c o n s e n t, Nader said he does not advocate a blood test, preferring a breath test which would be less of a health hazard for the driver, whether in nocent cr guilty of drunk driving. DRIVER'S EXAM Nader delved into the area of driver examination and predicted that in the years to come federal standards will have to be adopted to give the country a uniform sys tem of driver examination. But the consumer critic was fast to point out the driver himself is not the only reason for accidents in the nation. Nader said he is stil! at an "arm's length controversial level with the automobile manufac turing industry management." RECAll Nader noted that the automotive ndustry is praised for calling back defective cars wvhen they should not have been defective to begin with. He cut out at the design-rs who put items in cars which are both dangerous and unnecessary, such as paper thin humpers, which cost Americans $1 billion yearly n repairs. "The biggest progress in t h e automotive field has been that of recall. Millions have been called hack, but that doesn't mean there aren't any unsafe vehicles left on the highways," he said. In the field of auto insurance, Nader said there are many abuses and cited the case of a man who was insured by Allstate who had his policy cancelled because his apartment was dirty. Nader sees pollution as the larg est problem facing the country today and stated that the automo tive industry is responsible for 50 per cent of this pollution.
