Tough pollution bill Fraternal Fraternity
laces opposition
Washington (CPS) Sen.
Edmund Muskie's Subcom
mittee on Air and Water pollu
tion, reporting a tougher than
expected National Air Quality
Standards Act of 1970, caught
industry representatives on
Capitol Hill by sunprise.
The bill is now tied up in the
Senate - Public Works Com
mittee and one of the most in-,
tensive industry lobbying
campaigns ever waged has
started, a , according to En
viron mental Action
magazine.
Reported lobbying are such
industrial celebrities as
Edward Cole, president of
General Motors; John Ricardo,
President of Chrysler; Lee A.
Iaoocco, Executive Vice Presi
dent of Ford and Roy Chapin,
Chairman of the board of
American Motors.
Industrial associations in
cluding the American Associa
tion, the Automobile Manufac
turers Association, the National
Coal Conference, American
Petroleum Institute, Manufac
ture 'Chemists Association
and the National Lead
Association are also making
their voices heard to Public
Works' ! Committee members
and other senators.
The results of the industry
visits are becoming visible to
congressional watchers. The
subcommittee's tough bill is
being smothered with attention
in the Public Works Com
mittee. Delaying tactics may
result in the clock running out
on the bill so that the Senate
could not pass it this session
and develop a compromise with
the House on their already
passed weaker measure.
Of crucial importance is the
automobile provision which
requires the Secretary of
Health Education and Welfare
to set auto standards in 1975
which will reduce by 90 percent
emissions from 1970 model year
cars.
Other significant sections of
the bill include the setting of
national emission standards for
hazardous substances; strict
penalties for failure to comply
with the act; monitoring at
company expense; federal ac
cess to records, company data
and right of entry for inspec
tion; citizens suits to force
compliance of the act which
can be brought against the
federal government; court
reView of administrative
decisions upon citizen petition;
and the right to forbid any
federal contracts with those
convicted under this act.

Believing that a fraternity
house should become involved
with the surrounding com
munity, members of Beta
Sigma Psi have undertaken
several programs in the
Malone area and have more in
the planning stages.
Their primary project is
conducting a physical fitness
program in the Malone
Comunity Center, just a few
blocks from the new fraternity
house at 23rd and U Streets.
Four of the Beta Sigs
regularly work with groups of
area youngsters in various
sports programs, according to
Keith Schmode a junior.
Hopefully, the Community
Center's physical fitness pro
gram can be linked with the
Presdent's Council on Youth
Fitness, Schmode said.
Youngsters there would then be
able to compete with other
youngsters their own . ages
across the country.
The program just began last
Tuesday, Schmode said. In the
past, he added, volunteers at
the Malone Center have not
always worked out well, but so
far the Beta Sig program is
progressing well.
Members of the fraternity
are also continuing a project
begun last year called the Big
Brother Program.
Several members ' of the
house "adopted" a yourster
who lacked either a father or
an older brother, sometimes
both, and who lived in the
Malone area. The big and little
brother would participate in
sports events together, go to
movies, etc.
Some of the big brothers
from last year are continuing
their relationship with their
little brother this year.
On a more informal program
the Beta Sigs play baseball.
football or basketball with
youths at Whittier Junior High
School, a block north of the
fraternity bouse. Some of the
youths have then come over to
the Beta Sig bouse for refresh
ments afterwards.
"The reaction from the
residents of the neighborhood
has been very favorable since
we moved in last month,"
Schmode said. "We hope to
maintain excellent relations
with our neighbors."

the most absorbent fiber

Compact when dry,
it exnands when wet to
