it broken down. Another Important

* will   bring   a  wider  use  of the
* more toxic organo-phosphates.
* One of the basic topics covered
* was   Dr.   Burdlck's   distinction
* between a specialist and a gen-
* erallst. A specialist, he states,
* does not have a wide knowledge
* of environmental ecology. His job
* is   only to geCrld of the insect

t other hand, a generallst takes
^ man's entire environment Into
¥ view. He takes Into consideration
* the affect of birds and habitats
, of animals, etc. Specialists can
^ only take Information from tests
on mammals and not the environment. He says the specialist today should become more of a
generallst and be aware of long
range and social consequences.
As to some long range effects
these   chemicals   have   had. Dr.
species of birds are on their way
Hrown pelican and the Bald,
Eagle. DDT affects their sex
hormones which results Ina Ihln-
dust and thus stays in the air.
As to these chemicals he Informs
us that -they are being put on the

long range effects.*
As to solutions and answers,
Dr. Burdlck feels chemical companies should become a little
more educated ln ecology. He
feels the public ls also partly to

A more strictly
list of policies for the Experimental college won overwhelming approval ln the Fresno State
College Academic Senate yesterday and was forwarded to Acting President Karl Falk today
as a decisional recommendation.
