...Davis firing has brought the U.C.L.A. faculty and administration into open rebellion against the regents' Reagan-dominated majority. At a recent emergency meeting, the faculty overwhelmingly condemned the regents' action as illegal and an infringement on academic freedom. Many feared that the firing may blunt the school's drive to recruit black faculty members, who presently number 25 in a full-time staff of 1,500.

Such fluids would relieve stresses by acting, in part, as underground lubricants. Yet this method also poses dangers. In the Denver area, for example, recent shocks were apparently triggered by the disposal of chemical wastes in deep underground wells...
