nation Nation’s Class of »chraub Brodeur cites hazards ■ THE BATTALION FRIDAY, APRIL 18, 1975 Page 5 Industrial disease and the social responsibility of the corporations brere the subjects of a talk by Paul Brodeur, investigative reporter for I “the New Yorker”. “A new form of pestilence is threatening the lives of millions of Americans,” said Brodeur, due to untested industrial substances in idespread use in manufacturing. Brodeur stated that “more than 100.000 persons die each year and 390.000 more are disabled from in dustrial disease which by definition is wholly preventable. According to figures researched by Brodeur and others, there are over 600 cancer-producing chemi cals and 25,000 toxic substances in use today with 500 new substances being introduced each year without first being tested. Of these, there are federal safety standards for less than 400. “If this trend continues,” said Brodeur, “this nation is heading for a public health disaster of monu mental and perhaps irreversible consequences.” Brodeur cited example after ex ample of toxic or cancer-producing .substances which produce a death Irate exceeding many times the na tional average for non-industrial jworkers. He further stated that he has “never found or heard of a single instance where a corporation cleaned up a health hazard without the threat of ligitation.” Increased federal legislation and enforcement of existing regulations 3re the solutions proposed by Brodeur, with stress placed on the elimination of illegal influence peddling and lobbying by corpora- itions. Brodeur concluded by stating that Taws are needed to provide for testing of new substances for toxic ity before industrial use, with the burden placed on industry to prove that a substance is not harmful.” Aggie Blood Drive sets spring record p i AAMCO The spring Aggie Blood Drive passed the 1,000-unit donation mark near closing of the three-day period. The drive set an all-time spring record for number of donations. Blood donated during the drive goes to the Wadley Institute of Molecular Medicine and the Wad- ley Blood Bank. Tuesday, the first day of the drive, was highlighted with the 12,000th contribution from Aggies in the past 17 years. Pennie Peck, freshman from Abilene, gave the historic unit of blood. Because of the turnout for the spring and fall drives all students, faculty-staff and former student donors are eligible to withdraw needed blood from the Wadley blood bank. The drives, sponsored by Student Government, Alpha Phi Omega and Omega Phi Alpha, have gathered more than 2200 units during the current school year. Both drives were chaired by Doc Wagner. The donations are used for vari ous purposes, such as research in leukemia, hemophilia and other blood diseases. Donations are also used to supply blood to numerous hospitals. 10% AGGIE DISCOUNT on all Transmission Jobs with I. D. Card and this coupon.
