past two years of the air and the build¬
ings, which showed safe levels of asbes¬
tos.      '
; Specifically, Terstegen claimed lhat the
levels were si .0001 per one CC ol air,
while the Threshold Limit Value—the
point at which it becomes toxic—is 2.
per one CC of air.
An additional buffer against exposed
asbestos on campus is evaluation tests
that were administered by the Dynamac
Corporation last spring.
the Dynamac Corporation—which
specializes in environmental evaluations
and recommendations—rated the CSUF
buildings on a scale of one to seven, with
seven being the worst. Ratings were
based on the concentration of asbestos and
the number of people who use the
The outcome of the tests gave high
priority to the New Science building,
which means that it should he considered
for asbestos removal before other build¬
ings, according to Bob King, Manager of
Environmental Assessment at Dynamac
Corp.
King explained that the potential exists
at the New Science building for dangerous
exposures of asbestos over a period of
time, particularly with the added assis-
tance of rain damage.
Although the preferable option is to rid
New Science and all of buildings of asbes¬
tos. King asserted that it would be a
prodigious task that would require "bil¬
lions of dollars and many yean to com¬
plete."
He added that containing asbestos and
controlling its exposure is the next best
alternative.
"As long as we can mantain a safe
environment, that's the main thing," he
said, adding that it wouldn't be "cost
efficient"   to  invest  the  extraordinary

King said be expects test results back
within a month on the dormitories. He
said tests were conducted three weeks ago
to determine if asbestos exists or not.
Signs of curtailing the use of asbestos'
were evidenced about 17 years ago when
in 1972 it became illegal to spray
asbestos in buildings to better fireproof
them. Six years later, the Environmental
Protection Agency' ruled it unlawful to
spray asbestos in acoustic ce i lings.
While asbestos is most known for its
presence in buildings for the past 60 years
since its inception in the 1920*3, it is
also found in brake linings and wine
fillers, according to Terstegen.
"Wherever you have a potential fire
problem, where you have tots of people
or you have to meet certain fire regu¬
lations, you typically use asbestos," he
said.
CHICANO
Continued from page 3
Referring to the need for a better
understanding of Latin America, Viswes-
waran said a solid LAS program would
serve to "broaden the scope" of studies
offered at CSUF.
Echoing Visweswaran's views, Manuel
Figueroa. coordinator of the LAS pro¬
gram, said "the time has come for us to
have a very strong Latin American
Studies program."
Figueroa said he felt the LAS would be
better served under the CLS program.
"Given the close relationship of Chicano
Latino studies and Latin American stud¬
ies, it's the perfect place for it," he said.
More structure, leadership, and a higher
profile for LAS will be provided through
the combination of the two programs,
said Figueroa.
The consolidation of the two programs
would include the creation of some
courses for the LAS core requirements tor
the m inor, but there are no planned
changes for the CLS minor.
Both programs currently offer 21-unit
minors, nit Figueroa said he knew of no
one working on a LAS minor. "That's
why we need the visibility," he said.
Figueroa said the enthusiasm and
interest expressed by the CSUF faculty
and administration are a vital part of the
efforts to provide a stronger LAS pro¬
gram.
According to Figueroa, work is just
beginning on another proposal that would
seek to provide a Chic ana Latin American
Studies "major" at some point within the
next few years.
