taken action on a forum report suggesting student input on tenure decisions which was submitted nearly a year ago to dr albert zettlemoyer vice president and provost problems with tenure are being ignored said sutton monro chairman of the forum tenure sub-committee of the academic environment committee i think that if student input can be achieved it is one input we should have zettlemoyer said the report did not suggest specific guidelines on how to achieve student input into tenure he said jimmy breslin pollution problem abated bypaulfenaroli the sooty emissions from the university power plant which plagued local residents have for the present time disappeared we're pretty confident that the problem is by and large solved said eric ottervik vice president for planning last week the university was faced with possible prosecution for failing to meet a 30 day deadline set by the pennsylvania der william nuever air pollution control engineer for der examined the plant friday and monday and found no signs of soot nuever said with the snow it's a good time to check but the snow didn't show any soot if we find a violation we will call the university officials into the office either here or m the regional office m reading and discuss the quickest way to abate the problem whether it's putting control equipment m or whatever it is highly unlikely that a suit would arise if the soot emissions return he said the main factor m correcting the problem may be the recent cold spell the boilers were forced to work at full capacity allowing a chance to tune the boilers and reset the controls properly minor equipment changes may be made m the near future a new piece of equipment is available to monitor the mixture between the two different grades of oil being used the inconsistent mixture of these two oils due to the shortage of gas and number two oil was causing inefficient burning and soot the problem of soot emission appears to have been arrested the university is still not certain that the problem is gone forever ottervik said we have spent considerable time and money already and will continue to do so until the problem has been dealt with successfully bb.w

and the early 1970s showed the country was alive he said but all the disorder culminated on the night of aug 9 1974 when richard nixon went on television to announce he was leaving office because he lied said breslin breslin said he was with the 450 people who stood quietly outside the white house that night it was as if after all the disorders of the 60s the american people just shucked off the trembling and rage and placidly watched the government change hands there were no tanks or soldiers or shots fired the political system is filled with the lazy mediocre and fraudulent but nothing is
