The coordinated nationwide effort stresses local demonstrations at plant sites and waste repositories, lobbying campaigns, and teach-ins as well as broad-scale national action. \“On May 6th, tens of thousands of people marched to Washington to send President Carter and Congress the message that the American people wanted ‘No More Harrisburgs’,” said Donald Ross, coordinator and also organizer of the May 6 March. “They didn’t listen. We need to send a new message, t ’ / he said. “On September 23, we expect well over 100,000 people to come together again to call for a phase out and eventual shut down of all nuclear power plants.” The action begins at 11 a.m. The Statue of Liberty will be watching.

For the off- campus and commuter representation, geographic boundaries will be drawn according to zip code zones. This new procedure will make the SA representatives more responsible to a well defined constituency. SA attempting to draft new Minority representation, Lowry said, will most likely be guaranteed in the Senate. But, he added, it is too early to dte any figures relating to the number of representatives the minority community win receive. He also expressed a great concern over the lack of minority representation in the committee itself. Despite Lowry’s efforts to recruit minorities to sit on the committee, none have been attending meetings on a regular basis, he said. ■ j? . Lowry also expressed concern over whether the committee will meet its November 30 deadline. If the committee does not meet the deadline, the provisional Senate would still be dissolved, putting the fate of the new constitution, once completed, in the dark. But the provisional Senate could vote itself an extension as a governing body. For this to take place, according to Lowry, The motion would have to be brought up at least two Senate meetings prior to November 30. One possible checkup mechanism on the SA representatives is to have them elected by students from different geographic districts. These districts will consist of dormitories. send chills down the academic spine ** SPINE TINGLING Today. Sept. 19th 1 at the amhsrst CAMPUS All students, faculty and staff welcome!
