Ralph Nader, crusader and researcher, will speak at 8:00 p.m. tonight in Hoch Auditorium.
Nader is the self-proclaimed guardian of the American consumer's rights. He has caused U.S. industry to reappraise its responsibilities and established

He has been responsible for the passage of five federal laws. They
are the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, the Wholesome Meat Act of 1967, the Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act, the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act and the Wholesale Poultry Products Act.
Nader recently brought before Congress the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act. This act provided preventative measures against working conditions that can cause black lung in mine workers.
This year General Motor's Corvair was taken off the production line. Nader was responsible for this. Through his condemnation of the car, in his best-seller "Unsafe at Any Speed," Nader was able to reduce the sales of the Corvair 93 per cent before its withdrawal.
Nader also revealed the dangers of the food additive monosodium glutamate. His research showed that baby-food containing this
chemical may cause brain damage in some animals. He also has pressed the Department of Health, Education and Welfare to continue investigations on DDT and cyclamates and has made known the possible dangerous misuses of X-rays.
Presently, he is checking the business affairs of Covington & Burling, a Washington law firm headed by former Secretary of State Dean Acheson. Nader is investigating how much influence the company has within the Government.
Nader has been criticized for his actions by members of big business and the New Left. Businessmen have said he exaggerated situations and the New Left accused him of improving the economic system rather than tearing it down.
He frequently contributes articles to Atlantic Monthly, The Economist, The Nation and The New Republic.
Senate to discuss bills
WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Senate is expected this week to pass a voting rights bill opposed by the South, perhaps in time to take up an issue Southerners vigorously support: The Supreme Court nomination of Judge G. Harrold Carswell.
The Senate civil rights bloc was confident it had the strength to make the voting rights bill, when

it emerges from the Senate, tougher on the South than the House-passed bill which carries the administration's support.
In the Senate, liberals are lined up behind amendments offered by Republican Leader Hugh Scott and San, Philip A. Hart, D-Mich., to retain three key provisions of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, under which 800,000 Southern Negroes were enfranchised.

Southerners looked to Republicans for a possible compromise which would free all states but Georgia and South Carolina from the key provisions but retain the attorney general's power to file suits against states adopting voting laws which he felt were discriminatory.

An amendment offered by Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield would grant the vote to 18-year-olds. Some senators argue this can only be done through adoption of a constitutional amendment and not simple legislation.
