...less resistant to suggestions that gas and oil explorations- with their potential for pollution- be undertaken in the Great Lakes basin. (Canada already takes natural gas from Lake Erie.) These problems are not insoluble, but they will require a subtlety of technology and policy quite different from the massive input of dollars that cured many of the lakes' ills during the 1970s. "Basically I'm optimistic," says Robert Boden of the EPA's Great Lakes National Program Office. "We are reaching a state of finetuning of the Great Lakes ecosystem...
...this year because of faculty apathy towards the committee. Faculty are simply not volunteering to serve on CUE, or--this happened last year--they are volunteering, and then not attneding CUE meetings.

A student government is essential to any university, for it is the only organized liaison between students and the administration. And how effective can an administration be if it does not seek input from those it administers to? How can it be that Harvard--allegedly one of the finest universities in the world--refuses to recognize its Student Assembly...

The action levels, however, can be set with little or no public input and little or no supporting scientific evidence. The result: possible dangerous levels of chemicals may be passing through the FDA's regulatory machinery with the FDA's blessing...
