...professor Bennie R. Ware, associate professor of Chemistry and Veronica Vaida, assistant professor of Chemistry, rightly point out that the high-dose NCI animal study does not conclusively prove that low levels of EDB can cause cancer in humans. But the scientific community is currently debating he validity of extrapolating animal carcinogencity data to humans. This debate is far from resolved, and many scientists feel that the discovery of potent cancer-causing ability in animals must be taken as strong presumptive evidence for a human cancer threat. That's the reason why NCI did its animal study in the first...
...light of this uncertainty, and the unprecedented carcinogenicity displayed by EDB in the NCI animal study, it would seem that Ware and Vaida were taking temporary chances with other peoples' health, for the sake of an introductory chemistry lab. Their decision disregarded NCI's conclusion that its findings indicate a potential threat to human health...
...Ware and Vaida also seem to take the position that the laboratory hazards are simply a part of laboratory work and that singling out EDB for scrutiny is unfair since it fails to take into account the many other hazards necessarily present in all labs, including the Nat Sci 3 lab. But teaching laboratories can be made safe, or at least safer than they are now, and they should...
...Susan Ware, the graduate student observer on the Faculty Committee, said yesterday the proposal is "a good way to move forward on women's studies," adding that everyone on the student committee, "is pretty pleased...
...mind that philosophy, can music, embrace botany, magic, sculpture, mathematics and folklore belongs in the quattrocento, not in the Manhattan ware house district. But Hayward Cirker is content. The owlish founder and president of Dover Publications Inc. insists that he is precisely where he belongs. "I'm no Renaissance man," he maintains. "I'm just curious...
