About the only time in a
Mercer career that is dlquefree
is the first couple of weeks cf
our freshman years when ad
freshmen are united in being
scared to death of this whole
insane rigmarole of college
After overcoming this initial
shock, wt. sink slowly into our
little slots snd. some us never
emerge
The saddest part of the story
is that this cliquish mentality
may have gone too far already
No matter Ivow worthy a project
is. some factions of the campus
do not participate simply
because another faction is
participating-and what faction
is not guilty of this. It seems
that no adversary is powerful
enough to unite all of Mercer's
factions, even it they all agree
on whatever the issue is. What
the consequences of this
situation will be, 1 do not know
Nor do 1 know a ."oiution, but the
first step ibsolving this problem
is an awareness of the problem.
and I challenge everyone to
undertake to solve it. This social
paranoia has gone tar enough
and without ita demise. Mercer
is on its way to becoming an
environment undesirable for
any valid educational process

Dear Friends and Fellow
Students.
Our campus sits along the
northwest edge of Escambia
Bay. which empties into the
Gulf of Mexico at Pensacola.
Florida So far this year.
Escambia Bay has suffered
over 60 major fish kills, each
one of close to or more than a
million fish-food fish, sport fish,
'commercial fish’, you name it.
These kills have been traced
to industries and municipalities
just north of snd on the bay.
which have been using the
Escambia River snd the bay for
s dump One such industry is
Monsanto Co . which, as of
January. 1970. was dumping
into the river, and the bay. the
following wastes:
10.000 lbs-day. 5 day
biological oxygen demand. 3.900
lobs-day total organic carbon.
1.975 lbs-day nitrite nitrogen.
1,104 lbs-day ammonia nitrogen
A mtrtte. 421 lbs-day total

It's to bad the mayor is hung
up on such obviously trivial
matters as the exposure tof the
human body when it is done in
good taste and also feels he
must strike out st such a well
done scientific article by Johnson
snd Masters, who have become

doesn't the Mayor concern
himself with trying to solve
some of the real problems of the
community instead of seeking
to invade the privacy of others
But then I suppose if we can

One of Monsanto's most
advertised and ecologically
deleteriota products is Astro
Turf, an artificial grass, some
of its other products are
Arochlor (1250) compounds and
herbicides Because -or public
official have been tragically
slow to respood. and because
citisen i-itlated 'pollution
control' legislation is being
successively weakened and
stifled. ’ and will have only
moderate 'success' If ever
passed, we have concluded that
only economic sanctions can
force the Industries involved to
recycle their wastes snd quit
using the Escambia River-the
public domain -for a dump
We intend to take sanctions
against all industries, of which
there are six locally, dumping
into the Escambia River snd
the bay. To establish our ef
fectiveness. we have decided to
begin by calling for a boycott of
Astro Turf, the Monsanto
product that depends most
heavily on the college market-
We desperately need your
support. There is nothing less st
stake than the bay itself-the bay
which is a integral part of our
biosphere, is essential to a
balanced environment
It doesn't lake much thought,
to realise that Escambia Bay is
about ns important to you as it
is to us By supporting our
boycott you not only deny
revenue to an enemy of the bay.
you also help assert, for once,
that our waters and our skiers
are not dumps, snd that even
large industires must be held
responsible for their wastes
-we ask that you put up with
natural grass for a good while
longer
-We ask that you com pell your
fnemls and local industries not
to bdy Astro Turf snd other
Monsanto products
We very respectfully and
urgently request that you ob
tain, through your student
government and alumni
associations, a binding, official
promise not to purchase Astro
Turf until Monsanto quits
dumping its wastes into
Escambia River and Escambia
Bay
We recommend that before
you or your college ad
ministration buy any other sort
of artificial grass, you deter
mine that manufacturer is not.
