Susan Merrow, president of the Sierra Club, described the Clean Air Act of 1990 as “a breath of fresh air after a 10-year smog alert.” Bush said the bill, which updates and tightens federal air pollution standards for the first time since 1977, was “simply the most significant air pollution legislation in our nation’s history.” “This bill means cleaner cars, cleaner power plants, cleaner factories and cleaner fuels. And it means a cleaner America,” Bush said at a packed White House ceremony. The goal of the legislation is to cut acid rain pollutants by half, sharply reduce urban smog and eliminate most of the toxic chemical emis sions from industrial plants by the turn of the century. The cost of adhering to the regulations is ex pected to be as much as $25 billion a year. Environmental groups temporarily put aside their differences with the president on other is sues to praise his effort on clean air. But they said “This bill means cleaner cars, cleaner po wer plants, cleaner factories and cleaner fuels. And it means a cleaner America.” — President Bush the effectiveness of the legislation would require aggressive implementation and enforcement by the federal government. Richard Ayers, chairman of the National Clean Air Coalition, called the legislation “cause for celebration and hope.” But Ruth Caplan, executive director of Envi ronmental Action, said Bush’s signature marked “only the first step toward cleaning up our air. There are dozens of provisions that must be im plemented through regulation.” “While business supports the act’s clean air ob jectives, its costs to American consumers and workers cannot be sugarcoated,” said William D. Fay, administrator of the Clean Air Working Group, a coalition of 2,000 businesses andtra associations. Bush’s signature capped a decade-long dek over anti-pollution rules. The legislation was product of 16 months of intensive wrangli:! among administration and congressional nq:j tiators over myriad technical provisions. The new law requires tougher emission to: trols on cars, and requires service stations tost] cleaner-burning gas. It mandates new equipnt in thousands of businesses and factories to ca:< ture smog-causing pollutants and toxic cher cals. It also requires coal-burning power plants cut in half sulfur dioxide emissions, which aits acid rain. Some of the new requirements will begintol f ihased in within a few years, but most wont ully in place until the end of the decade. Sot cities with the worst smog problems have ask as 15 to 20 years to meet federal air requi ments. Earlier efforts to revamp the laws had bti blocked by strong (opposition from economical regional interests and the Reagan administr tion. iir MSC Variety Show 1991 u You Oughtq 3e In Pictures'* Applications To Audition Are Available In The Student Programs Office. Room 216 MSC Milh Vamlhs producer says boys did not sing NEW YORK (AP) — The ru mors are true: MilH VanilJi — those dreadlocked, hunky dudes Rob and Fab — never actually sang on their debut album that sold 7 million copies, the pro ducer-arranger conceded. “The record company never knew that. I never told them any thing,” said Frank Farian, the German producer who turned a pair of anonymous pretty boys into an international phenome non. “Later on, after the record was out, there were some people who raised some questions.” The questions were never really answered as the Vanillis won a 1989 Grammy for Best New Artist. Rob Pilatus and Eab Morvan became international stars, lip-syncing their way through television and concert appearances. “Girl You Know It's Trpe” and “Blame It On the Rain” were huge hit singles for the band. At the MTV awards, the boys boasted they were better than El vis or Bob Dylan. Farian — who has a new album with a new group coming out in January — said he was forced to go public with the revelations when the guys told him they wanted to sing oh the follow-up to “Girl You Know It’s True.” “I said, 'No. I don’t go for that.’ Sure, they have a voice, but that’s not really what I want to use on my records,” Farian said, describ ing the encounter that occurred earlier this month. So the bare-chested vocalists once described by the New York Times as “exotically sexy” really did nothing but look good and lip sync for videos? “Nothing more,” Farian said through an interpreter during an interview here Wednesday. Prevention. Continued from page 1 contingency plan is important to eliminate arguments over “who’s in charge” when a spill happens. Decision-making by a committee tends to delay response and increase the magnitude of a spill, he said. He also said pipelines from off shore platforms are safer than tank ers, but some states have regulations and safety concerns limiting the number of offshore leases. “By opposing platforms, they’re shooting themselves in the foot,” Chabot said. “Unfortunately, the public doesn’t see those nuances. They see oil on the shore. If they perceive oil activity as being a threat to the environment, they will vote against it.” He said the United States uses about 21 billion barrels of oil a year, has a 1,300-day reserve and an esti mated untapped 81 billion barrels. “As long as the United States de pends on oil, we’re going to be im porting oil,” Chabot said. “America doesn’t need oil, America needs en ergy.” He said energy efficiency would reduce the amount of oil trans ported by tankers and pipelines. “We live and work in buildings that are virtual energy sieves,” he said. He said fuel economy also could be improved. President Bush is scheduled to re view a new energy policy in January. The United States must start looking generations ahead, not just months or years, Chabot said. Security lation for higher education institu tions. Panelists said inaccurate interpre tations of campus crime statistics also need to be clarified. “There are lies, there are damned lies and then there are statistics,” panel member Karen T. Rigg said. Rigg, dean of students at North eastern University in Massachusetts, said misinterpretations of campus crime statistics contributes to neg ative perceptions parents and the public have about campus security. Panelist Joseph G. Wehner, direc tor of public safety at Ball State Uni versity in Indiana, said reports com paring crime statistics of different campuses also do not take enroll ments of universities and colleges into account. He said they only show the total number of incidents. Wehner also said statistics do not show differences between crime on a particular campus and crime in sur rounding communities. Slaughter said universities and colleges usually have little control over surrounding communities, and many crimes are committed by peo ple not associated with the univer sity. Panelist Arthur Sandeen, vice president for student affairs at the University of Florida at Gainesville, said although he applauds the Cam pus Security Act, the public should be warned this legislation is not going to solve campus crime. Continued from page 1 “There is a perception thatc puses are immune from crime,: students, administrators, faculty: staff must all take a part in imp: ing campus security,” he said. Riggs said alcohol abuse a big part in campus crime. “In acquaintance rape, usual!: or both parties are heavy userso(i cohol,” she said. Slaughter said alchohol abusttl university-wide problem — notjusj student services problem. He many universities are contradict] in their policies when students not have alcohol on campus, bui ulty and staff members have I tions on campus where alcoh consumed. Panelist Jim Caswell, vice p dent for student affairs at South Methodist University, said many leges and universities already safety and security programs their campuses. Caswell added personal safety also should be a sonal responsibility. The teleconference included p taped excerpts of Ernest Boyer rector of the Carnegie Fountte reading from a report by theCat gie Foundation for the Advar rnent of Teaching called “Can!| Life: In Search of Community." The report was used as a work for the teleconference. Following the teleconference,a cal panel answered questions < cerning campus security at A&M Crimes.

He said students have an “It can’t happen to me” attitude, but every one is vulnerable to crime unless they take precautions. Panelist Lt. Bert Kretzschmar, a crime prevention specialist with UPD, said A&M has taken a pro-ac tive stance on crime, but he said campus security is a shared responsi bility. “We cannot live in a tunnel,” Kretzschmar said. “A&M is a com munity, and we share it with the Bryan and College Station commu nity also.” Panelist Sonny Lyles, assistant general counsel of the Texas A&M University System, said universities and colleges cannot act as students’ parents. He said A&M is an open commu nity system and thus has a tougher job in providing campus security. Lyles said he thinks A&M is doing a better job than most universities sim ilar in size.
