WASHINGTON (AP) - The aerosol

ith the development of the insecticide-
raying "bug bomb" is ending. Today
arks the official beginning of the end.
An Environmental Protection Agen-
(EPA) regulation prohibiting bulk
anufacturers from selling
orocarbon gases for most aerosol
dducts went into effect at midnight.
ldorocarbon gases are the propellants
ost often used in spray cans.
ON DEC. 15, the manufacture of
any spray-can products will be pro-
bited by the government. And on
pril 15, 1979, it will become illegal to
ip them in interstate commerce.
The National Academy of Science has

[One layer. This layer shields the ear-
i's atmosphere from the ultraviolet
ni° rays that the academy has said can
'ise human skin cancer and harm
nimals and plants.
Thus, the academy's findings doomed
he aerosol era.
Not all spray-can products will be
afined. Other gases, mechanical pum-
s and substitute products are being
ed to replace the familiarfluorocar-
ii-powered spray-can containing such
PA-declared "non-essential prod-
~lcts" as deodorants, hair sprays, house

Exempted from the ban are some
nhalation pharmaceuticals, contracep-
ive foams, electrical cleaning sprays,
ircraft maintenance products and in-
ecticides, the EPA said.

Students Clubs, and the International
Center, is much larger than previous
fairs. "We have enlarged and extended
the fair in order to more fully ap-
preciate one another's cultures," said
Ema, who is an African Graduate
student at Michigan.
Several groups, including the
Michigan Student Assembly, the LSA
Student Government, and the Univer-
sity Activities Center have helped the
International Students with their plan-
ning and preparations. "If these groups
had not responded and cooperated with
us, the festival would not have been
financially possible," Ema said. "We
are trying to foster this same type of
cooperation at the world level through
the week of festivities."~

Not because it's not worth reading.
You're wasting your time because you
could be reading it three to ten times faster
than you are right now.
That's right - three to ten timnes faster.
With better concentration, understanding, and
recall.
The problem is, most of us haven't learned
anything new about reading since we were 10
years old. So we're still stumbling along at a
fraction of our realcapacity In fact, most people
read so slowly that their brain actually gets
bored and distracted between words (no wonder
you have trouble concentrating when you
read!)
reading improvement system -designed to be
more effective and flexible than ever. With it,
you should easily be able to cut your reading
and study time by at least two thirds. That
means if you're now studying 20 hours a week,
you'll save roughly 400 hours - or almost 17
full 24 hour days -in this school year alone!
Spend an hour and check us out.
We know you may have trouble believing
what you've just read. That's why our people
are on campus now giving free 1 hour demon-
strations of RD2. If you can spare an hour,
we'll answer any questions you may have
about RD2, and prove that you can unlearn
your bad reading habits and start saving two
thirds of your study time. We'll even demon-
strate some new reading techniques designed
to increase your speed immediately, with
good comprehension.
