Smog levels
in Mexico City

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The gov
ernment declared a rare second-
stage smog alert Thursday, telling
people to avoid outdoor exercise
and ordering the dirtiest factories in
northern Mexico City to cut opera
tions by half.
Citizens were also urged to drive
only when “strictly necessary.”
It was only the second time the
government has declared a second-
level alert. There are three alert lev
els in the plan for reducing activity
when smog reaches dangerous levels
in this city of more than 15 million
people.
Ozone levels at four monitoring
stations hit nearly three times the
level the government considers satis
factory when the alert was declared
at midday.
“The immediate effects are irrita
tion of the eyes and pulmonary ef
fects, but the long term damage is
premature aging of the body and
this is very, very serious,” said Hom-
ero Aridjis, president of the Group
of 100, one of Mexico’s leading envi
ronmental groups.
Ozone levels continued to rise at
two of the monitoring stations after
the alert was declared, said Sergio
Reyes Lujan, deputy secretary of ur
ban development and ecology.
“Predictions were that the high
ozone concentrations could persist
for a good part of the afternoon,” he
said at a news conference.
The 60 most contaminating in
dustries in the northern part of the
city were told to scale back opera
tions 50 percent.
They included the government’s
March 18 oil refinery and petro
chemical plants, two thermoelectric
plants, a major copper smelter,
other metal plants and foundries,
and glassmaxing plants, officials
said.
“Today there was no wind, even at
an altitude of 13,200 feet,” Reyes
Lujan said, explaining why a second-
stage alert was called.

sues in the last presidential cam
paign had to do with equitable access
to higher education,” he said.
“Pollsters on both sides found this
was an issue that made the American
heart skip a beat.”
Gates said equal opportunity in
education is an idea that has very
broad appeal in America and gives
an indication of what education
means in this country.
He said the current lack of equal
educational opportunity is the result
of several long-standing social pres
sures and attitudes.
Gates said some of these same
contradictions and ambivalences,
ones he faced in his youth, are still
very much in evidence today.
“The word overachiever meant
.something different then than it
*does today,” he said. “Then it was a
kid who didn’t understand his place,
his limitations or his natural capac
ity. A colored boy who knew more
than he was supposed to know was
headed for a nervous breakdown.”
Gates said the shortcomings of ed
ucation are numerous not only in
opportunities available to blacks but
also in terms of curriculum offer
ings.
He said the world-wide domi
nance America has enjoyed is threat
ened by the vast ignorance of other
languages and cultures in higher ed
ucation.
The tendency of colleges and high
schools to center on America and
Europe is too narrow a view, he said,
and the benefits of a more interna
tional perspective are numerous.
This narrow view, he said, has led
to a new fragmentation — dividing
the west from the rest. This is not
justifiable in theory nor desirable in
practice, he said.
Multicultural studies in a variety
of subjects could vastly benefit other
studies in the humanities, Gates said.
“The study of the humanities is
the study of the possibilities of hu
man life in culture,” he said. “It
thrives on diversity.
“We need to reform our entire
system of core curriculum to account
for the incomparable eloquence of
the African, Asian, Latin American,
Native American and Middle East
ern traditions to prepare our stu
dents for their role in the 21st cen
tury as citizens of a world culture.”
