EVERYTHING YOU NEVER EXPECTED FROM AN APPLIANCE STORE. 1 II Page 12--Thursday, October 25, 1979-The Michigan Daily State settles with Hooker Chemical Co. LANSING (UPI)-Attorney General Frank Kelley said yeterday the state has defused an environmental time bomb through a $15 million-plus clean- up settlement with Hooker Chemical Co., called the most technically com- prehensive ever. Kelley and Hooker President Donald Baeder signed the agreement on the out-of-court settlement at a news con- ference in the Attorney General's of- fices, but ,final approval r'ests with a circuit court judge. It is expected to come next week. THE AGREEMENT may end a long- standing battle between Hooker and the state over the alleged pollution of Muskegon County's White Lake through seepage and discharges of toxic chemicals from the firm's Mon- tague plant. A number of chemicals have been found in the lake and its fish have been ruled unsafe for human con- Advertisement TUCK SCHOOL The Case for General Management Among the various leading business schools, there is a diversity of programs available. Some require the student to choose a major such as marketing or finance or any of a number of other functional areas. In some programs it is possible to evade certain areas, the understanding of which is essential to the general manager. The MBA curriculum of the Tuck School emphasizes breadth of learning and offers basic istruction in each of the major areas of business administration. The first-year courses, required of all degree candidates, include work in organization structure and human behavior, market- ing, operations analysis and manage- ment, economics, accounting and fi- nance, industrial relations, probability theory, statistics, computers, and busi- ness environments. In the second year, Business Policy, the only required course, ties together the learning of the first year. The eleven remaining electives may be selected from a wide selection of courses in various fields. No major or concentration is required, but there is ample opportunity to study in depth such areas as accounting, financial manage- ment, marketing and organizational be- havior. The Tuck graduate is flexible; he or she has the skills required for entry-level positions in the major functional areas as well as the broad understanding of busi- ness essential to the general manager, Next edition: Case vs. Theory -- - - - - -- - Please send a bulletin and application materials for Tuck School to: sumption. As part of the ceremony, Baeder handed over a $1 million check from Hooker to pay for the state's costs, in surveillance of the pollution problem. Occidental Petroleum Cor., Hooker's parent firm, agreed to put up $2 million to guarantee complianceby its subsidiary and mae an allegedly unprecedented agreement to accept the jurisdiction of the Michigan courts. KELLEY SAID the complex clean-up program agreed to in the settlement will eliminate the possibility of future environmental damage from the plant. State Natural Resources Director Howard Tanner also attended the new conference and said he expects a gradual'improvement in White Lake; estimating its fish may be safe to eat in less than 10 years. Baeder, speaking for Hooker, did not admit the lake had been damaged by his firm, but did say it was doing the responsible thing in agreeing to clean up toxic chemical problems at the plant. THE AGREEMENT provides for the burial of all the plant's chemical wastes in a sophisticated, clay-lined vault and purification of groundwater under the. plant through a system of barrier walls and filters. It establishes a court-approved monitoring system to assure the quality of air and water "in perpetuity" and provides an unprecedented convenant barring the sale of the property or any change in its use without the written permission of the attorny general. Kelley praised Occidental Chairman Armand Hammer who, he said, "could have raised legal defenses that I could never have penetrated." Union director outlines changes.

She added, "The Union directors who had just completed renovation projects at their schools told me our funding was ,far short of what was necessary to complete our projec- ts" THE UNIVERSITY Board of Regents have allotted the project $4.6 million. Young said $3.2 million will be spen on renovation projects such as in- stalling new pipes, a new ventilation system, electrical services and elevators. Another $1.4 million will be used for program imprdvements, pain- ting, chairs, audio equipment, and general maintenapce and rehabilitative work, according to Young. She pointed out that only $790,000 was allotted for refurnishing public areas, as well as-for program and food service im- provements. Personnel changes include appoin- ting Stanfield Wells special assistant to the vice-president for community resource development, naming Gregory Black the Union's new food service manager, and designating Young interim director. Young will remain director of the Office of Student Programs, a post she has held since January 1978. Wells, who has been the Union's general manager since 1970, will work on special projects coner- ning the Union's transformation. Black said creating a student- oriented food service will take about three years, but "the Union hopes to get started on it this year." He added effor- ts to hire an architect to design the new grill are in progress.
