...earthquake-prone floor of the Santa Barbara Channel is such a geologically unstable morass of cracks and fissures that it may be difficult to prevent future oil-well blowouts. Moreover, Interior Secretary Walter J. Hickel recently approved a resumption of drilling in the channel. Reason: a special presidential panel recommended further drilling to relieve the pressure that pushed the oil to the surface. While some critics dispute this approach, a consortium of four oil companies (Union, Gulf, Mobil, Texaco), soon to be joined by Sun Oil, continues to pump 30,000 barrels of oil a day from the waters...
...Light, Cornell's excellent sophomore diver, was first at both heights. Teammates Tim Millhiser and Matt Leone picked up third-place points. Dave Silver, who is doing a good job of filling the shoes of Bill Murphy, earned seconds in both the one-meter and three-meter to prevent Cornell sweeps...
...student films usually make for pretty uneven viewing, and this collection is no exception: taken as a program it's astoundingly mediocre despite the money and care that has obviously been lavished on some of these productions. Further in an economy move, or perhaps in a calculated effort to prevent your remembering what you saw. Film-ways has spliced them all end-to-end, so the next picture starts before the retinal image of the last has disappeared; a good idea, considering some of the films. Fortunately though there are enough good works to redeem the collection as a whole...
...time to rethink his relationship to it. Living in a Harvard House, a??nding classes, or using the library facili??s are privileges reserved for members ?? good standing of the University. That a s??ered student may not remain in Harvard on the other hand, does not prevent him rom expressing his political views or from associating with whomever he choose, including University members. We d?? insist, however, that such association s??uld not involve the sustained and signif??ant use of University facilities unless the student has received the permission of the Committee...
...could stop polluting the water for a relatively small cost. A surprisingly low $3 billion is all it would take if plants and factories were required to install waste-treatment facilities sufficient to meet existing water standards. A total of only $2 billion would pay for cooling towers to prevent thermal pollution, and $6 billion would bring sediment and acid mine drainage under control. The price of eliminating industrially caused air pollution is somewhat higher because the job must be done on a regular basis. Estimates are that it would cost $600 million a year to curb the sulfur dioxide...
