JACK SMITH, a columnist for the Los Angeles Times, recently called attention to two full-page ads that appeared in TIME. One was for Antioch College, a small (under 2,000 students) liberal arts school in southwestern Ohio; the other was for an even smaller college in Wisconsin, VITERBO COLLEGE: BERKELEY WE AIN'T, its message began.

Though only part of the oil reached the beaches, the accident cost Britain $7,000,000 in cleanup charges, polluted the sea from Cornwall to Brittany and dealt heavy damage to marine life in the area. And there are other vessels afloat that could make an even bigger mess...
