But the Environmental Protec-
tion Agency on Jan. 6, 1987, re-
jected a plea by environmentalists
and others to ban Alar. The agen-
cy said it lacked sufficient evi-
dence to order it off the market.
Instead, 10 days later the EPA
lowered by one-third the allowa-
ble amounts of the chemical that
may remain as residues in apples.
The new rule was designed as an
interim measure to permit more
time for the agency to study
Alar’s effects.
Nader and the others whose
petition was denied by the EPA
filed a federal suit aimed at forc-
ing the agency to ban Alar.
Most people have not noticed
the relative absence of severe
weather this spring, and if they
do notice, it is usually with ap-
preciation. But for OU’s School
of Meteorology, a lack of storms
can be a source of frustration
and a test of patience.
“(Students) like to have
storms to observe and chase,”
said Fred Brock, associate pro-
fessor of meteorology.
This is about the third year
with a scarcity of storms, said
Kelvin Droegemeier, assistant
professor of meteorology. The
students are “chasing just about
anything.”
The possibility of severe
weather this week is exciting for
the department, Droegemeier
said.
“Everyone is happier here
when there is a chance for se-
vere weather,” he said.
But for meteorology students,
any opportunity to chase a
storm may be come little too
late.
“This is finals time,” Brock
said. “Not the time to go chas-
ing around.”

CAPS is already supporting

meier said. The main goal will

WASHINGTON - The Su-
preme Court today refused to re-
vive a lawsuit by consumer activist
Ralph Nader, environmentalists
and others seeking a government
ban on the chemical Alar.
The court, without comment,
let stand a ruling that threw out
the suit.
Critics of the chemical say it
poses a health hazard, particular-
ly to children. Makers of apple
juices and sauces say their tests
show only traces of Alar in only a
tiny fraction of their products.
In another matter, the court

decades, the percentage of blacks
students in the system climbed
from 22.5 to 67.7 percent.
Clark ruled in 1987 that the
school facilities had “literally rot-
ted,” ordered them upgraded and
imposed the tax hikes. District
voters had rejected higher taxes
six times from 1970 to 1983.
Alar, sold by Uniroyal Chemi-
cal Co., is used primarily to en-
hance the color and uniform rip-
ening of apples.
Some studies have shown it can
cause cancer in animals, and may
be a serious health risk to hu-
mans, particularly children.

out “which storms are inherent- t

aren’t.”
Related goals are: refining;
the numerical techniques to be ;
fed into the model, transform-
ing the numerical data into vi- ;
sual pictures and developing a ;
way to feed real data into the ;
model without rejection. “Mod- ■
els aren’t the real atmosphere.

CAPS this semester have been
bringing in top scientists to
speak and getting their impres-

The creation of OU’s Center
for the Analysis and Prediction
of Storms (CAPS) is underway
this semester.
The School of Meteorology
received a $4.9 million pledge
for the center from the National
Science Foundation in Decem-
ber. OU pledged a $500,000
dollars of matching funds per
year.
The center is to be instru-
mental in developing a new
model of numerical weather
prediction by combining the use
of advanced supercomputers
and data received through Next
Generation Radar.
At present, CAPS personnel
are in the process of attracting
top scientists to work on the
project, as well as refining the
project’s goals, said Kelvin
