Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Thursday, March 18, 1971 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle From other campuses War protestors shift tactics By JAMES R. JACKSON A new form of antiwar senti ment, national and international, is beginning to heat up, accord ing to an article in the SMU school newspaper. While rallies, marches and demonstrations still are utilized as expressions of anti-war feel ing, the new innovation in war protest is a people’s peace treaty, the story says. The preface to the treaty reads: “Be it known that the American and Vietnamese peo ple are not enemies. The war is carried out in the names of the people of the United States and South Vietnam but without our consent. It destroys the land and people of Vietnam. It drains America of its youth and its hon- South Vietnamese government would not allow the delegation to enter South Vietnam. People’s peace treaty will be used to support and center the antiwar activity scheduled for this spring on college campuses across the nation, according to the arti cle in the SMU paper. Massive ratification is expect ed for the treaty. “Some of th’ guys gave me a bottle of Scope—it’s the best hair tonic I’ve ever used!” The treaty was negotiated by a 15-member delegation of stu dent body presidents and college editors of the National Student Association (NASA) who met with national student unions from North and South Vietnam last August. The groups had to meet in North Vietnam since the Kate Millet, author of the cur rent best-seller, “Sexual Politics”, spoke out for women’s lib at Em ory University in Atlanta, Ga., according to the school news paper there. Highlights of her speech in cluded defining the goals of the Women’s Liberation movement, relating the term “sexual poli tics” to sociophysiological fac tors, tracing the development of the differentiation of sexuality, and emphasizing revolution as a mass means of human growth. The speaker cited the mass media for failing to communicate an accurate definition to the pub lic of what Women’s Liberation is saying: “The media are happy to call it bra-burning.” Millet illustrated this by a re cent advertisement which read, “I dreamed I went to a Women’s Lib rally in by Maidenform bra.” Kate Millet described the diffi culty in proving to parents that they treat children differently. As an example, she illustrated how strangers won’t relate to an infant until they know its sex. Males and females are taught to aspire to different character istics; males having more ag gression, intellect and efficacy; women more docility and “vir tue, alias sexual repression.” The difference is rationalized as be ing “nature.” Nixon OKs live interviews Safe, attractive, low-cost car sought FARMINGDALE, N. Y. <A>) _ Run the car into a stone wall at 50 miles per hour and walk away? Yes, that’s the Fairchild Hill er Corp’s vision as it develops an experimental supersafe car. “You may have a few bruises and perhaps a broken nose, but you’ll survive,” says George Hil debrand, the engineer in charge of the project for Fairchild Hiller. The United States Department of Transportation - sponsored project envisions a car in which passengers can survive a roll at 70 mph, and sustain a 30 mph crash broadside with little dam age. The Transportation Depart ment’s grant to Fairchild is $4.5 million. Hildebrand says the two cars designed under the grant will ready by next January. The cars will compete against federally sponsored prototypes built by AMF Inc. and General Motors. The winner will be giv en federal funds to continue de velopment. The government specifications call for a car body capable of sus taining a 10 mph collision un damaged and a gasoline tank that won’t spill in a crash. The car also has to be attrac tive in design and price and have improved braking, steering and handling. “We want to show the level of safety to which a standard car can be brought,” Hildebrand says. “It has to be meaningful, life saving and not penalizing to the owner in cost.” For protection in front-end crashes, Hildebrand is develop ing a hydraulic bumper which will be located about 18 inches in front of the engine and radi ator. It extends another 12 inches automatically when the car reach es a speed of about 35 mph, and can absorb a 50 mph impact. To protect passengers during broadside collisions doors will have double locks and be fitted with energy-absorbing materials. High sills will prevent doors from buckling inward. While the car would sustain some damage in a crash of 40 mph, says Hildebrand, the pas sengers would be safely cradled in steel. An energy-absorbing arrange ment attached to the rear bump ers of the car would protect pas sengers in a rear-end crash. Two to three roll bars will keep the roof from collapsing if the vehicle overturns. The gasoline tank, located be tween the trunk and rear seat, will be made of rubber or a tire like material to prevent punctur ing in a crash. Firewalls also will surround the tank. Internal padding will be of heavy foam materials. Air bags that automatically inflate in a crash will cushion passengers by distributing the impact forces over a large part of the body.

WASHINGTON <A>) _ Presi dent Nixon has offered live one- hour interviews to the three ma jor television networks — the first scheduled for next Monday.
