(ACP) — Fifty - nine per
cent of the nation’s college
newspaper editors see pollution
as an immediate threat to their
lives according to a recent poll,
conducted by the Associated
Collegiate Press.
Two hundred polls sent out to
colleges across the nation and
of the 98 polls returned, 29%
indicated that this threat of
ecological pollution had lessen
ed their desire to propagate.
Organized movements dedicat
ed to fighting pollution have
begun on 45% of the campuses
represented, and 20% more
should experience such move
ments in the near future.
However, 52% of the editors
polled did not feel that pollu
tion will become a more impor
tant issue on their campuses in
the near future than the draft
or the war in Vietnam.
Sixty - eight per cent of the
editors have considered or wag
ed an editorial campaign
against pollution, but only 13%
are members of an organized
group against it.
When asked what they were
doing to prevent pollution, 46%
admitted they were doing noth
ing.
Many of the others are usmg
their editorial pages to make
the public aware of the prob
lem. „
Some are fightmg pollution
by leaving the anti - pollution
devices on their new cars, or
by not owning a car and walk
ing to and from school.
A couple are stopping smok
ing or guarding against litter
ing; a few are writing their
congressmen.
One editor and his future
spouse plan to adopt children
rather than have their own.
Some editors are organizing
rallies and teach-ins, but about
20% don’t seem to consider pol
lution to be a major threat to
their lives or their campuses.
One fellow from Nebraska
comments: “I do not do any
thing to aid pollution, but the
problem here is not as bad in
many places, I feel.”
Another from Georgia says
he is doing “nothing because
of the location of our college—
in a small southern town. Pol
lution is not so obviously a
threat here as it is in metro
politan areas.
One girl expressed the oppo
site viewpoint; “I’m finding
out as much about it as I can,
so I can act intelligently to
prevent it. In the meantime.
I’m doing what I can.”
Plants Tell Us That
There Is A Problem
With Air Pollution
(ACP)—The Daily Universe,
Brigham Young University,
Provo Utah, (4-8-70) “Plants
tell us that air pollution is a
problem . . . and the story
they’ve been telling us is that
the problem is becoming
acute.” This is how Dr. Robert
Daines, professor of plant pa
thology at Rutgers University,
summed up the effects of pol
lution on plants at a seminar
Tuesday sponsored by the Col
lege of Biological and Agri
cultural Sciences.
Dr. Daines discussed the ef
fects of five types of pollutants
—florides, sulphur oxides, ethy
lene, ozone and peroviacetalni-
