Asbestos presence worries 'students, (Continued fronlPage 1) When she first called to notify maintenance of the problem, "They never told me what was going on. In the beginning, FIXIT didn't know anything." According to Rozsa, maintenance staff only check those rooms in which they suspect a probem. TO EASE alarm at the situation, George San Facon, direc- tor of housing physical property, said housing officials sent infor- mation sheets to all students who live in residence halls explaining the presence of asbestos and 'its hazards. Maintenance workers put labels on pipes covered with the dangerous substance. Also, housing officials informed students about the removal by holding meetings at each dormitory. San Facon said maintenance, reached at 76-FIXIT, has received about 200 calls from students concerned about asbestos in their rooms since this fall. Because University maintenance workers are not trained to remove asbestos, they can only identify the substance and "leave the repair to the professionals," Monroe said. University staff does not have the resources - including money, time and personnel - to handle the problem, according to Monroe. Maintenance workers currently put each case on a list and the removal company, Asbestos Removal Inc., responds to the worst cases first. According to Dr. Bernard Naylor, a medical school pathology professor who has researched the effects of asbestos, every adult in this country has asbestos in their lungs because of "background levels" of the substance which occurs naturally in the air. Naylor has studied exposure to the substance, and believes that .,only people with "focused, occu- pational exposure" to asbestos are at a serious risk to becoming victims of lung disease. The Michigan Daily - Monday, February 16, 1987-- Page 5 Student gets grant to travel i By WENDY LEWIS The opportunity to travel around the world does not come every day. But one University student is going to circumnavigate the globe this spring. Scott Fedewa, a Residential College junior, is the 1986-1987 recipient of the University's Cir- cumnavigators Club Foundation Award. The award is a $6,000 world study and research grant presented to a University junior every other year. The purpose of the grant is to gather factual, on-site information relating to international human relations. Each candidate is required to submit a written proposal in their particular area of study. Fedewa's proposal, entitled "Cross Cultural Conflicts and American Business Customs," deals with the behavior problems of American business people abroad. He said he hopes to "find the causes and establish solutions to reduce cross cultural conflict." Fedewa will conduct his research during a three-and-a-half-month trip 1w globe beginning in May. He will travel to Europe and Asia, where he will observe the corporate behavior patterns of different business lead- ers. Upon his return to the United States in August, Fedewa will have approximately 90 days to complete his thesis. "I will study the things that Americans in general have problems with when they go over- seas to work," Fedewa explained, such as different styles of manage- ment. Fedewa will also research patterns of nonverbal commun- ication among the different conti- nents, such as how Americans make eye contact during conver- sation. According to Fedewa, that habit intimidates those who are not used to such a custom. The Foundation had over 25 candidates apply for this year's award. That number was narrowed to three finalists. Those included Sunil John, a third year Engin- eering student, and Anjanette Stoltz, a third year Inteflex student.
