Industrial pollution has
been magnified by professional
alarmists, according to an
executive for General Motors
in Saginaw, Mich.
Speaking at a University
Wildlife Club Meeting, Paul H.
Wendler said that government,
industry and the public must
all share the blame for
pollution in the United States.
The mass media should stop
inciting the public and begin
educating them, said Wendler
in his speech over the weekend.
Adverse public opinion may
allow pollution lavts to be used
for destructive rather than
constructive purposes.
Using the automobile
industry as an example, he
stated that many people have
been misled into believing the
automobile k the nation's
major source of air pollution
when "it just isn't so'
"it isn't true on a weight
basis-the actual bulk of all
pollutants in the air. and it
isn't true on a health basis the
relative effects which various
pollutants in the air have on
human health and plant life."
Citing a Department of
Health, Education and Welfare
report, Wendler said the
automobile is responsible for
about 38 per cent of the major
pollutants in the air-not the 60
per cent so often reported.
"Our 1970 and 1971 model
cars emit 80 per cent fewer
hydrocarbons and 65 per cent
less carbon monoxide as
compared to their predecessors
of ten or eleven years ago. We
are totally committed to the
goal of taking the automobile
out of the air pollution
problem, but each step
becomes more difficult than
the last.""
The public will also have to
pay the price for a better
environment by discarding old
habits and developing new
ones, Wendler told the group
of 300 in the Nebraska Union.
Agreeing that discipline and
restraint are not the popular
virtues they once were, he
added that "doing your own
thing too often means doing
less for others and for the
public welfare.
According to Wendler, a
feeling of mutual dependence

ASUN delays President hunt
The start of the search for a
new president for the Lincoln
campuses have been delayed
because ASUN has not yet
selected student members to
the 1 2-man search committee.
The first meeting of the
search committee, originally
scheduled for Friday, has been
postponed until April 5.
The student Senate this
week decided against the
method of selection originally
planned to fill the three
student positions on the search
committee and instead called
for interviews to determine the
student representatives. The
interviews will be held Tuesday
evening.
The search committee will
seek a replacement for Jcseph
Soshnik, who has decided to
leave the presidency to take a
position wih an Omaha
investment banking firm.
Students organize for Hughes
"Students for Hughes," a
national student organization
to promote the presidential
candidacy of Sen. Harold
Hughes (D-Iowa), has started in
Los Angeles.
Representatives from 53
campuses have been selected to
distribute bumperstickers
which read "Harold Hughes in
72," campaign buttons, copies
of his voting record and
literature explaining "Views of
Sen. Hughes."
No representative from the
University has been
announced, according to Mike
Jacobs, president of the NU
Young Democrats. "It's still
fairly early," in the campaign,
and an NU movement may still
appear, he said.
Jacobs said he believes
Hughes has a "good chance" to
be elected in 1972, especially if
U. S. Senators Muskie,
McGovern, and Humphrey get
into a stalemate at the
Democratic Convention.
Wendler . . . "it just isn't so.
r
and a greater sense of social
responsibility must be
developed before the public
can help solve the pollution
problem.
Pollution is everyone's
responsibility, he said.
Wendler feels that we all have
important roles to play in
finding permanent solutions to
the pollutionproblem, but the
federal government has an
especially important role to
play:
in encouraging research
into the causes of pollution;
--providing incentives for
future planning, to establish
proper priorities;
--determining stands of
environmental quality that are
acceptable and realistic;
-making certain that these
standards are current and
enforced.
Reminding people that
Federal legislation affecting the
control of industrial pollution
did not come until the
mid-1 950's, Wendler said that
todays problem is "jurisdiction
overlap.
"We have done what we
can, now the government is
going to have to start helping
by setting up effective,
uniform nationwide controls,
Wendler added.
