University of Vermont President Edward Andrews has added his voice to those asking the state Libraries Board to change the name of a Marshfield pond that is racially offensive. In a statement Thursday, Andrews urged the name of Nlggerhead Pond be changed because, he said, I cannot be content when name associations in our lovely land clearly convey a racial slur to so many Americans. The university has more than a passing interest in the issue.

It owns parts of the pond and the nearby mountain bearing the same name. Blade students at the university have scheduled a rally today to discuss the name of the pond and other alleged racial affronts. Green Beret jumpers skirmish at North Adams with protesters of the states present fossil-fueled electrical generating plants to close. And he said power companies would thus be forced to depend entirely on nuclear-powered plants in future. At the suggestion of CVPS, the Health Department sent the two employes to the Chicago conference; and according to Ashe, they returned with the news that the proposed regulations are too difficult for the power companies to meet.

Singled out for particular difficulty was the proposed regulation that stacks at power plants could discharge no mort than 40 pounds of particulates per million British thermal units of heat. Ashe has recommended that this standard be lessened by 100 per cent, making the figure 80 pounds. He insisted that this would still leave, very strict emission standards and would prevent heavy black smoke from being spewed into the air. The Health Board indicated Thursday that it wants to study the Ashe proposals further before taking action. Health Commissioner Dr.

Second, the followers of the movement do not want to be men or to be like them. They merely contend that women have the same rights, privileges and freedoms so readily attributed to the male sex. The third point was that the Womens Lib Movement does not hate men.

The enemy is not men, but surprisingly the enemy is the ignorance and the failure of imagination on the part of the American woman. According to Mrs. Smith most women cannot see themselves in an authoritative position and many even fear the possibility of such a position. Lastly, Mrs. Smith declared that the movement is not against marriage and motherhood.

Yet, because of these two activities women should not be prevented from participating in society as fully, as actively and as equally as men. Mrs. Smiths talk was followed by questions and comments from the group. WASHINGTON -Rep. Robert T.

Smiths main objective in her talk was to disclaim some of the absurd notions wrongly attributed to the new movement. There were four points that Mrs. Smith felt needed to be redefined.

Monday to discuss tiie results of the engineers investigation. And the board made it clear it also intends to reestablish a deadline regarding the nighttime use of the big boiler. And its apparent from comments made by Selectman Edward Frasier, who has led the investigation into the Catamount Dyers affair, that if he gets his way the big boiler will be shutdown at night until engineering corrections can reduce the noise and vibration level it causes. Also announced last night was a new petition to selectmen signed by over 100 persons backing the management of Catamount Dyers. The petition termed actions by selectmen regarding the company as an awful injustice to a company that is frying to grow and is being denied a chance.

Frasier was quick to point out that at least 90 per cent of the signers live nowhere near the plant Several, in fact, gave addresses of New York towns just -across the line. Last nights meeting was interrupted at least once by residents who came to the town office building to sign affidavits protesting the alleged noise disturbance. A prepared statement on the affidavit, drawn up by Barber, reads: blank, of Bennington, Vermont being duty sworn, on oa til disposed and say I am over the age of twenty-one years and have lived in Bennington at No. blank.

On or about blank, I began to notice at my house a noise and vibration which I bad never experienced before.

Among changes incorporated in the new Mil would be a provision for the Social Welfare Department to place liens on property owned by persons who receive emergency assistance. This is directly contrary to the philosophy of the Health and Welfare Committees recent stand against placing liens on the property on welfare recipients who are blind or disabled.

Another feature of the bill is the requirement that all step parents be required to assume responsibility for support of their stepchildren. The Vermont Supreme Court ruled recently that a step parent cannot be held responsible for such support unless he adopts the children or does so voluntarily. Gov. Davis made a campaign promises last fall to clamp down on welfare, and this bill is seen as an attempt to do so. His office has reportedly been bringing pressure on legislative leaders to get some action on the bill this year.

His press secretary, Peter Martin, said yesterday the governor is worried that unless some of the present welfare rules are changed the states welfare program will be out of control. Nevertheless, the governor admitted this week that there are many technicalities in the bill and he could understand Sen. Chris towe concern about the dangers of too-hasty consideration.
