Olin Lecture Series increases environ-mental awareness Jenifer Corr Staff Writer The tenth annual Olin Lecture Series on the Environment is underwa- n the Oak Room. This year's topic is "The Chemical Manufactures Association Initiative on Responsible Care." It is about the effort made by chemical industries to develop a code of environmental protection to which it is required that all their members subscribe. Professor Lisa Newton, director, of applied ethics and the program in environmental studies, said the goal of the series is, "to raise the awareness of the problems of the environment in the student body, as well as the community at large, and to raise the level of dialogue from an atmosphere of confrontation to one of cooperation and coordination." The first lecture, which took place on September 26, featured David C. Smith, president of the Council for Ethics in Economics. Smith spoke about, "Self Regulation as Public Policy: The Ethical Obligation." Smith argued the point that self regulation could be good policy. Charles A. Aldag, Jr., senior advisor to the Chemical Manufactures Association, gave a talk entitled, "Responsible Care: Up to the Ethical Challenge" on October 24. On November 14, Rita Lomasney, chemical engineer and manager ofthe Connecticut Technical Assistance Program, will be giving the lecture, "Reducing Pollution: Alternative Manufacturing Technologies." Lomasney will discuss the experiences of chemical companies have had with implementing responsible care. After every lecture there is a chance to discuss many topics with the speaker. After the discussion, the audience is invited to a wine and cheese reception where they can talk further with the speaker in a casual atmosphere. Olin Lectures on the Environment are made possible by a grant from Olin Corporation Charitable Trust. In 1984, Professor Newton applied for, and received, a grant enabling the University to create an environmental studies program. The departments of history, philosophy, biology, physics, finance, and economics have worked together to establish courses and curriculum'for the program. The grant money, which is given on a year to year basis, goes to the Olin Lecture Series, a seminar on the environment, and an Earth Day celebration. Whatever money is left over goes to the resource center and to "Pondside."The resource center is a collection ofbooks, videos, andjournals on the environment available to all members of the University.
