...work done at Leverett House and Thayer Hall make Leahy and Lichten hopeful of substantial savings across the University. In the Leverett Towers, where the target was a wasteful ventilation system, fuel consumption was cut 17 per cent for the year, Lichten says. Thayer, he adds, recorded a 24-per-cent reduction in fuel use after the installation of better insulation and adjustable valves with thermostats on all of the dorm's radiators. The valves have also all but ended the problem of erratic heating in rooms, Leahy adds, saying he's seen the proof from his University Hall office...
...ventilation systems which circulate more air than necessary. In the labs, fume hoods--which are "intensely energy wasteful," according to Leahy--will be altered to become more economical. A myriad of additional renovations to these buildings and others aim at meeting Dean Rosovsky's target of a 50-per-cent reduction in fuel consumption within five years, Leahy says. If realized, the energy savings will free up lots of money for repairs and maintainance, officials anticipate...
...week attacked President Reagan's budget proposal, saying the cuts would "put the dollar sign back on the door of universities and colleges." In an interview with The Crimson, Kennedy said that while he agrees that spending cuts should be made, the Reagan education program is "effectively a 25-per-cent cut right across the board--there has not been a careful evaluation of the programs...

Researchers at the Medical School and the Children's Hospital Medical Center last week announced that they had perfected a method for inducing bone growth by using crushed cadaver bones instead of bones removed from patients' bodies. Osteoinduction--the name of the new process--should be 100-per-cent effective, compared to grafting's success rate of 65 per cent, Julie Glowacki, head of the research team that developed the new process and an associate in surgery at the Med School, said last week. Using the new process, doctors implant demineralized bone matter into the site where bone growth...
