"I also expect more from students than from regular working people. They have less pressure on them than regular citizens who have to pay the bills and work. The university has spent millions in the past, why can't they use three, four or five hundred thousand more dollars to lower Green like they did Pickens?" In response to Finlav's Question. Barrv Alford. chairman of the Green Street Study Committee said, "It would cost one and a half million dollars to lower Green Street." "I love the university. It's my school," Councilman William Ouzts said. "I go down there as often as I can. and the people driving on Green Street are young, of student age. I think the students themselves need it more than the citizens of Columbia. They should of course be careful when crossing the street Passover service %$m TL -m m irJ /%.

I feel that under the circumstances, you (the University representatives) should re-examine your position," he said. Councilman R.E.C. Freeman voiced concern for the students. "Something must be done to assure the safety of the students. A ramp could be built. There must be some way to bridge the street," he said. In reply to newly elected SG President Dave Wilsford's reference to the Drotest demonstrations bv students last semester, Freeman said he hoped the students would abide by the council's decision. Mayor John T. Campbell of Columbia cited the need for service to the Russell House. "The Russell House is a major student center and also a major shopping center. Postal and service vehicles need access to it. We have already closed the road next to Long Street Theater, but Green Street is too important." Campbell compared Green to Gervais and Main Streets. "More people cross Gervais and Main than Green Street, but we can't close them. So how can we close Green Street?" he said. The council summed ud the university's argument by indicating that "no position has been shown to warrant the closing of Green Street." ^ >nucc ct PUIlkli Oh# II CAMPINt f $10 .

"I don't think there are many people, other than people who are trained to work with these things, who ever get exposed to them at concentrations that are significant enough to be cancer-causing." How much these carcinogens have been used at USC is difficult to determine. "There is no actual way of finding out what has been used here. Records just don't go back that far," Beauford said. Though the risks involved in the university s use 01 carcinogens is negligible compared to industry, the same set of rules applies to the school as they would to an industry.

If there is such a danger the persons who would run the greatest risk would be the faculty members who used these carcinogens during a long period of time. Whether a person gets cancer from a particular carcinogen depends on the quantity used, the frequency of use, how long a period of time it was used, the individual's susceptibility to a particular carcinogen and the precautions used in handling the carcinogen. Some of the chemicals on the list that have been used at the university are beta-Naphyl ether, nif>hlnrnKor>cirlino JL/IVIUUI VMV,iioiuiiiv, mill U sodimethylamine and Benzidene. A substance that has been linked to ladder cancer, Benzidene is still stocked by the chemistry department, although the bottle has never been opened.
