By JOHN HILL ll] State inspectors will conduct air quality tests and inspect repair work being done on Batterson Hall Thursday to determine if the work constitutes a health hazard and should be stopped, UConn and state officials said Tuesday. The inspectors. from the Conn- ecticut Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Conn- OSHA) will conduct the air tests and inspection at UConn’s re- quest, after students in Batterson complained of health problems from the tar fumes given off by the material used to fix the leaks in the roof. The contractors are working currently in Northwest Campus- the Frats— and. when they finish the work on Batterson will tar the roofs of Terry and Wright halls there. A second contract with the repairmen calls for the work to move to South Campus where Stowe. Wheeler, Crawford and Beard halls will be repaired. officials sid. Students Line Up Paul Campo. assistant chief of construction _for the state public works department. said he ’had heard the inspectors from Conn ' OSHA would be at UConn from UConn’s physical plant. but could not speculate on what their decison would be. A resident at Batterson said the ConnOSHA inspectors “are our only hope.". “If they come and we‘re lucky." the resident said. “we may get it stopped. But the Although enthusiastic students showed up in throngs to register for courses offered by the Experimental College, most seemed to have no more enthusiasm for the lines in the Student Union Lobby Tuesday than they had for those which circled the ROTC Hangar a few weeks ago.

Laudieri said he had been trying to contact a representative from the Department of Environ- mental Protection (DEP) who visited the site last week. but was not able to contact him. Sally Buemi. secretary of te lnter-Area-Residents Council (IARC). the resident student (gov- ernment. said “the main concern is the other dormitories that will be done after they're through in the Frats." Officials to check for healthhazard Referring to the late starting date of the repairs. Campo said. “This is the first time in my experience we have done roof repairs while school was in ses- sion." “This is a terribly complicated thing." Campo said. “The tar is of an extra thickness to help conserve energy. I don't know if »ConnOSHA can shut down the project. we're just trying to the job as fast was we can and do a good job." The problems with fumes arose the first week of the fall semester when the repair work began on Batterson. The residents of Bat- terson complained of headaches. strange tasting food and students with allergies complained of diffi- culty in breathing. Committees role seen as issue in memo dispute By JOANN NILAND suggestions to the administration Whether memo written by a relating to academic matters. but special advisory committee which is not involved in their imple- makes recommendations on the consolidation of UConn academic programs are an important part of the administration's long-range academic plans or just non-bind- ing “suggestions" is the central issue in the student government's effort to get the’ memos of the UConn Program Review Commit- tee released. William Finch. chairman of the Federation of Students and Ser- vice Organizations (FSSO) claims the memos of the Program Re- view Committee are part of an academic “Master Plan" and should be released to the public. However. administration officials say the committee only makes ‘suggestions" and has no policy- Governors and Professor John campaign workers and the making mie_ man ofthe Federation of Students pdiiiicai Science and professor hindering the effoi-i_ and Service Organizations (F550) and the student representative on the United Nations Week Com- mittee. said Athanson. “is kind of a character. we ought to get a lot out of him." “The Program Review Com- mittee was established to make BOG replies to Wiggins mentation." Morton Tenzcr. chairman of the Program Review Committee said Tuesday. William C. Orr. associate vice- president for academic affairs. said Tuesday the Program Review Committee is “a group the ad- ministration called upon to an- swer questions about academic programs at UConn. It is free to give any advice it sees fit. but nothing this committee docs af- fccts anyone. It is meaningless until the administration does something concrete about it." "We must all realize it was a tremendous undertaking. and it would be naive of students to believe that this committee has no power." Finch said. "The University set up this Program Review Committee. and it is the University's responsibi- lity to have wide-range represen- tation. The point is that students are equal to faculty. People are considered equal under the law and should be equally repre- sented. especially on programs of Bond will speak! at Albert N.

Finch said. Orr said because the Program Review Committee is “not a public planning group" there is no need for students to partici- pate or be informed of the committee's findings. “Advice in memos given to the president or vice president is not the substance of action. Only if the administration decides to do something with the information does the public come into play." Orr said.
