The supple-t ment has been divided into six sections. This is the first section-something old . ... something news-which was separat- ed into two parts to accommodate all the t major news events of the past year. The following five sections each ponder and explore a different aspect of the some-j times crazy but always interesting student: life here. Read and enjoy. We'd like to extend a special thank you to Steve Ka- gan for designing the covers oaf the sup-v plement, and for supplying the art for section covers one, two, three, four andt six.

"" s.., ""."N :r"arv i:"{{ ""?:::"":.;.i draws student fire Fuel cloud study By LOIS JOSIMOVICH As this year's debate over the University's proposed DNA recombinant research grew, an- other controversial project -a fuel cloud deto- nation study being conducted by the Aerospace Engineering Dept. -- came before the public eye in late February. Brought to the University's Research Review Committee, the study was believed to violate Regental guidelines which prohibit any .re- search, "the specific purpose of which is to de- stroy life or incapacitate human beings." THE U. S. AIR FORCE, which funded the pro- ject until its discontinuation May 20, admitted on several occasions it was using the results to further develop its Fuel Air Explosive bomb. The bomb, called a "CBu-55", was used in the last days of the Vietnam War by the South Vietnamese Army. It operates by the release of a cloud of ethylene oxide gas from a low- flying airplane, which then ejects a spark, detonating the gas and effectively destroying everything for about a third of a mile around. Opponents of the project argued that while the University' was not making bombs per se, its research provided the Air Force with a ma- jor study of the same principles used in wea- ponry development. Professors James Nicholls and Martin Sichel, who directed the research, claimed in spite of this information that their work was all theo- retical and "open-ended", and that a major use for it would be the prediction of mine and grain elevator explosions. Nicholls conceded that "It would be wrong for us to design a new weapon," but added, "We'd almost have to for- get doing anything if we worried about what it could do all the time." OPINIONS OF THOSE reviewing the research for the University varied from extreme con- cern to inattention. Elham Elahi, the only stu- dent on the Review Committee, spoke out most forcefully against the project. "I'm less concerned with the possible ill effects of Nicholl's and Sichel's research in particular than with the fact that many Univer- sity research projects may have military ap-* plications," he stated. Physics professor Jens Zorn, another mem- ber of the Research Review Committee, appar- ently did not share Elahi's negative approach to the research. While agreeing that "a bit of light and air let in (on the matter) couldn't hurt," he added that "that's on open question, whether something too closely weapons-related should be going on at a University - and I think there's no obvious answer." ELAHI, A PHYSICS student, had recommend- ed that the study be re-examined by the faculty Senate Assembly's Research Policy Committee, which had approved the project twice earlier In its five-year duration. But the Research Review committee never even *met to formally discuss the matter. Elahi reacted to what he felt was apathy on the part of the University community saying, "What has been made clear to me is that the University endorses the status quo in terms of who decides what research is done for what purpose. "People are willing to get money from any- body to do research, without regard for whether the, information is used for weapons develop- ment," he added. MEANWHILE, UNIVERSITY President Rob- ben Fleming and other administrators had come out in support of continuing the research, say- ing they did not find it undesirable in terms of the Regental guidelines. Late in March the Daily learned that the Air Force planned to discontinue the program due to, "changes in program priority," accord- ing to an official statement. But should another weapons related project come under scrutiny at the University, most observers feel, it will, in all probability, pass through the regulations again. Elahi summed up the matter during one in- terview, when he said, "The regulations for barring research couldn't be any more mini- mal than they are." "These guys think they're making great con- tributions to society," he said, referring to re- searchers who aid the Defense Department, and "I think they're doing a great deal of the harm to the world."
