...mere persistence of student concern suggests that the South Africa issue is worth consistent pressure. The Harvard Foundation and Leverett House sponsored a day-long symposium entitled South Africa: A Day of Dialogue, earlier this month which attempted to offer just that. The Arco Forum at the Kennedy School was not packed, but those who attended said they had learned a lot. Those who did not attend missed a chance to become less ignorant...
...Pacific took six weeks, and no wonder. The ocean-going tug Arctic Shiko had quite a cargo to haul: a complete seawater treatment plant, longer than two football fields, 110 ft. high and weighing in at 26,000 tons. Built in South Korea and designed by Bechtel for Arco Alaska at a cost of $350 million, the STP has been floated into position in Alaska's Prudhoe Bay. Toward the end of the 4,000-mile journey, summer ice and high winds in the Bering Sea became a problem, but the huge plant managed to beat the feared September...
Once over its resting place, the barge under the plant was sunk in a dozen feet of water, forming a man-made foundation for the plant. When the STP finally starts working in mid-1984, it will help Arco, Sohio and nine other oil companies get more oil out of their North Slope wells. Water will be drawn into the plant at a rate of as much as 2.2 million bbl. a day, deoxygenated and heated from the Beaufort Sea's 28° to 40°. Then it will be pumped to another plant ten miles away, there...
...MUST HAVE felt good to be one of the folks who hackled Jerry Falwell when the fundamentalist preacher spoke at the Kennedy School's ARCO Forum last Monday. For many liberal college students. Falwell embodies the worst of the New Right's arrogant dogmatism and political backwardness, and his appearance provided a golden opportunity to shout "the Moral Majority is neither" right in the face of the man who founded that New Right lobbying group and gave it its presumptuous name. Snickering and hissing at Falwell released pent-up anger at the Reagan Administration's attacks on gays, women, Blacks...
There have been a few signs of a temporary truce in the gas war. Last month Arco raised the price it charges its dealers by 30 per gal. Some analysts predict that prices everywhere will rise about 40 to 60 per gal. at the beginning of the summer, with the onset of the heavy driving season. Even so, with refiners scrapping for a share of a declining market, there are likely to be more salvos in the price-cutting...
