University students who spent last
week reveling in the sun and fresh air
may have accidentally celebrated
"Clean Air Week," which lasted from
May 2-8.
This year marked the 20th obser-
vance of Clean Air Week, which orga-
nizers said is designed to remind indi-
vidualseveryoneisresponsibleforfresh
air.
"Clean Air Week 1992 is about
empowerment,"saidMarkRichardson,
chair for the Environmental and Occu-
pational Health Committee of the
AmericanLung AssociationsofMichi-
gan (ALAM), which sponsored the
week.
"Clean air will not come about
throughtheactionsofothers;"headded.
"Itis thecollectiveactionsofindividu-
als like ourselves that will ultimately
influence the quality of the air that
every living being breathes."
The goal of Clean Air Week is to
bring awareness to ways in which indi-
viduals can make adifference. ALAM
askedpeopletoquitsmoking,driveless
and keep their cars tuned. In addition,
they suggested activities such as recy-
cling and supporting clean air legisla-
tionwhichwouldleadtolesspollution.

students to realize that "their actions
canreallyspeak out.Things they docan
have an impact on the environment."
Posters were sent to schools to send
the message to younger Americans.
ALAM also sponsored its third annual
"Lenawee Ride for Life and Breath"
Saturday, a program designed to raise
$5,000 for community health educa-
tion programs.

How does the University fit into the global scheme?
Eighty scholars from varied disciplines attempted to
answer this question at the Business School last week, as
the Office of International Academic Affairs held a sym-
posium entitled "Higher Education in an Increasingly
Intemational World."
In his keynote speech on Wednesday, Harvard Univer-
sity Professor of International Affairs Joseph Nye ad-
dressed the state of international relations. "We live in a
world of growing interdependence of peoples and states,"
he said.
"Global debt and the development of multinational
corporations,acidrainandglobalwarming, theillicittrade
in drugs and ... terrorism are elements of the current
economic, ecological, and political relations," Nye said.
Nye's presentation - among others - provoked
several responses.
Referring specifically to his field, Visiting Assistant
ProfessorinMusicologyDavidBrackettsaid,"Restructur-
ing is a good first step toward integrating the study of
Westernartmusicintoacurriculum thatis more meaning-
ful to the average music student."
At the closing session,New York University President
Emeritus John Brademas mentioned the need to solve
domestic problems as well.
"Racialprejudice,acentury andaquarteraftertheCivil
War,isstillwithus.Unemploymenthasjumpedtoaseven-
year high and the American economy stagnates in reces-
sion," he said. "The gap between rich and poor in the
United States is now greater thanat any time since the end
of World War II.
