Studies find fetal brain area triggering labor

Cornell studies of the fetal brain show that one tiny section, the paraventricular nucleus, triggers the beginning of labor in sheep. The same mechanism — in a ferus "deciding for itself' when it is ready for the outside world — may be involved in the human birth process, the researchers say.
Discovery of the role of the paraventricular nucleus could result in better control of premature birth, the leading cause of human infant mortality and birth defects, according to Thomas J. McDonald and Peter W. Nathanielsz of the Laboratory for Pregnancy and Newbom Research in the College of Veterinary Medicine.
Their findings are reported in the Sept. 15 issue of the American Journal

of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The same issue contained an independent report from a research group in Auckland. New Zealand, led by Dr. P.D. Gluckman, showing the role of the fetal paraventricular nucleus in triggering labor.
"Premature birth occurs in 7 percent of all human pregnancies and accounts for half the neonatal deaths and threequarters of long-term handicaps — such as chronic heart and lung disease, hearing and vision disorders and cerebral palsy — that result from the abnormalities of the birth process," said Nathanielsz, a professor of reproductive biology and the laboratory director who led the Cornell study. "The personal, social and economic cost to society of premature birth is enormous."

When premature birth threatens, Nathanielsz said, "Anything we can do to give the fetus a couple more weeks inside — any drug or treatment for premature labor — will help. The drugs we have now to manage premature labor are totally inadequate. Identifying the source of the parturition signal is an important first step to improving our control of premature birth."
The paraventricular nucleus, an organ about the size of a small pea, is located in the fetal brain behind the hypothalamus. The Cornell scientists demonstrated the function of this small area of the fetal brain in five cases by surgically disabling it while the fetuses were still in the womb. The surgery was conducted

Winter bird-feeders absolved of avian deaths

People who feed birds witness millions of avian deaths each year — when birds are eaten by predators, crash into windows or succumb to diseases.

The signing of the agreement now being negotiated to curb global wanning will be a watershed in international development — for reasons that go beyond climate change, Paul Nitze, the U.S. State Department deputy assistant secretary for the environment from 1987 to 1990. said here last week.
"Because this agreement forces us to address the equity issue [disparities between rich and poor countries] and international cooperation, it is a proxy for the whole development agenda," Nitze said, referring to the climate-control agreement expected to be signed next June during a major United Nations-sponsored development conference in Rio de Janeiro.
"Our efforts to address the effects of global warming will force us to address many other environmental problems, as well." said Nitze. "Any agreement which moves us in this direction is of great significance."
Yet the greatest opponent of the agreement, Nitze observed, has been the United States.
"It is rather odd that the undisputed leader of the global world order is in the comer on this issue with a big black hat on," he said. Nonetheless, Nitze predicted, the United States will — eventually, if not in June — join the rest of the world in signing a climate-control agreement.
Nitze. who is president of the non-profit group The Alliance to Save Energy, was the keynote speaker during a conference on global warming held Sept. 13 and 14 by the Program on Ethics and Public Life. More than 350 people attended his talk.
At the outset, Nitze noted that global warming is not the most important environmental problem. He also stressed "the tremendous unknowns" underlying projections of its effects.
But he said it is clear that global warming exists, that human activity has caused a steady increase in global-warming gases and that future generations will suffer — increasingly, if action is not taken soon to slow the trend.
Yet, in negotiations, rich and poor countries have clashed over the economics of global warming.
"Most of the risk of global warming comes from the process of our getting rich, ourselves," Nitze said. "Now, developing countries can say to us, 'Look, we're not going to listen to you [about curbing global warming] unless you make it possible for us to get rich, too.' "
There are four ways in which the United States' position on global warming is critically flawed, Nitze said. They are:
• "Skepticism about global wanning predictions is clearly overstated."
• "Steps required to achieve carbon-dioxide reductions will not cause economic instability las the United States has argued] but will probably improve competitiveness" by inspiring energy efficiency.
• "Failure to show leadership is increasingly undercutting our credibility abroad."
• "The administration's negative posture is symptomatic of a broader failure to understand the alternatives." In other words, the United States has failed to appreciate that an international agreement could lead to many positive developments, such as increased global cooperation, reduced economic gaps and decreased environmental damage.

Plantations
asks that pets
be leashed
Cornell's museum of living plants is having a few problems with the animal kingdom.
James M. Affolter, director of Cornell Plantations, says that growth in popularity of the arboretum, botanic garden and natural areas has coincided with an increase in damage to the collections, primarily because of unleashed dogs.
To ensure an enjoyable time for everyone, Plantations will seek enforcement of the existing leash laws for the town and city of Ithaca. In addition. Plantations staff members will hand out leaflets to visitors with pets.
The leash laws, also in effect elsewhere on campus, require that owners control their pets at all times. While visiting Cornell Plantations, pet owners are asked to keep dogs on a hand-held leash; not to tie their pets to trees, signs or benches; and to clean up after the animals by using scoops or plastic bags. Trash cans are located throughout the arboretum and grounds. In addition, owners are asked to prevent dogs from relieving themselves on trees and shrubs, some of which may be rare.
Collections have suffered increased physical damage as they are repeatedly burned by urine and trampled by running dogs. In addition, complaints are received regularly from unhappy visitors who have been frightened by loose dogs or who have lost patience after repeatedly stepping in or around unwelcome surprises.

Court upholds
Cornell on
benefits change
A federal appeals court has upheld Cornell's position that UAW Local 2300 has no right to arbitrate disputes over a "letter of understanding" associated with its collective bargaining agreement.
On Aug. 14 a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed a decision permanently staying arbitration in a case dealing with the costs of Cornell employee health benefits. The costs for health coverage are adjusted each January.
Cornell has a four-year agreement with the UAW. which represents about 1,000 of the university's 11,000 employees. Collateral to the agreement, which took effect in July 1988. the university and the UAW signed a "letter of understanding" in which it was agreed to form a committee to review information regarding the health plan.
Before the health-plan changes last January, the UAW contended that it had a right not just to be informed about but to negotiate changes in the terms of the plan. Cornell disagreed. The union asked that the matter be arbitrated; in November 1990, a federal district judge ruled in Cornell's favor. The higher court supported that ruling.

Russian seeks agribusiness advice

Vladimir Yefimov arrived at Cornell Sept. 13 straight from Moscow — the one in Idaho — to gather ideas for an American-style M.B.A. program in agribusiness that he plans to start at the Soviet Academy of National Economy.
During a brief interview squeezed into his hectic schedule of nine appointments in one day, Yefimov said that the academy is the most important business school in the Soviet Union, but it is only 20 years old. In Soviet chronology, however, 20 years ago is ancient history.
"The school was created to train industrial bureaucrats," he said. "Now it will be transformed into an Americanstyle business school. Our students will be our first entrepreneurs in agribusiness.
"My approach is not to invent something new." he added, "just to take and adapt."
That won't be easy, said James Schmotter. associate dean of the Johnson Graduate School of Management, who was among those who met with Yefimov.
"I think there is a kind of naivete about the gulf of understanding between the two cultures." Schmotter said. Many Soviets think about capitalism in a "theoretical and romantic way," he added, "but they don't think about the point that people lose."
Schmotter credited Yefimov, however, with being "much more realistic than some of the Soviets I have met."
Yefimov, who is a professor of agriculture and deputy director of the agribusiness department at the academy, par-

ticipated in the creation of 20 private farms in an area 80 miles north of Moscow. The area now has 100 private farms, representing 10 percent of the arable land in that region, but in his view, privatization is in trouble.
"My forecast is that at least 80 percent of these farms will be bankrupt in a year or two. This could have negative political consequences. Enemies of privatization could say that the private farms are not much better than collective state farms," Yefimov said.
The problem, he said, is not primarily bureaucracy or restrictive legislation, as some people argue, but "the absence of necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes on the part of our farmers."
He is proposing not to teach farmers directly but to create a group of individuals educated in agribusiness who can guide and support farmers. He would enroll, for instance, the owners of processing plants to teach them how to organize factories, farms and the supply network into an intermeshed, smoothly functioning whole.
He also plans to build a group of "organizers" whose function would resemble that of extension agents in helping farmers cope with local bureaucracy, choose profitable crops and adopt the best production techniques.
Michael Hudson, director of Cornell's Personal Enterprise Program, said he believes Yefimov's program will create a group capable of providing significant leadership.

Orlov discusses disarmament with Yeltsin

Yuri Orlov, a senior scientist at Cornell was deported to the United States in 1987 after 10 years of prison and exile in the Soviet Union for his involvement in a human rights group, returned to campus Sept. 17 following a 10-day expedition to Moscow in which he met with Russian President Boris Yeltsin and participated in human rights and political discussions.
During his 10-minute talk with Yeltsin, the Cornell physicist presented a letter from the Union of Concerned Scientists on nuclear disarmament. Orlov said that he found Yeltsin to be responsive to the notion of disarmament. Yeltsin has publicly predicted that Russia would withdraw nuclear weapons from the Ukraine and Kazakhstan if those republics do not enter into a mutual security accord with a central government.
As to who has control of the codes to launch nuclear missiles, Orlov said: "I'm sure that Yeltsin has it."
Orlov expressed optimism about the near future, even as he warned that the republics must agree not to press the issue of boundaries now if conflict is to be averted.
"People are freer they even walk differently," he said. "They believe that, step by step, the economic situation eventually will be solved."

Orlov serves as honorary chairman of the International Helsinki Federation for Human Rights and spent much of his time in meetings of the 38-nation group.
He presented Secretary of State James A. Baker JH, who attended the human rights meeting, with a copy of his book, "Dangerous Thoughts," in which Orlov forecasted a coup by hard-liners.
The Helsinki federation has teamed with the Democratic Russia Movement to advance a proposal to establish an organization to monitor regional and ethnic disputes. This organization would encourage negotiation well before the outbreak of conflict, and Orlov said he plans to approach a number of heads of state in search of financial and organizational support.
The Soviet Union is in a critical period that, if all goes well, should see presidential power give way to more democratic, legislative control, Orlov said. In the meantime, the West can help with urgently needed food and clothes as well as money for "concrete small and mid-sized business projects that are competently run, as well as the conversion of military plants to peacetime uses.
"Don't give monev to bureaucrats." he said. — William Holder-

Allan Bloom, Soviet professor to lecture on campus

Allan Bloom, author of the 1987 best seller "The Closing of the American Mind," in which he is highly critical of American higher education, will give a public lecture on "The Threat to Reason" on Thursday, Sept. 26, at 8:30 p.m. in Bailey Hall.
Bloom, who has been on the faculty of the University of Chicago since 1979, was in the Government Department at Cornell from 1963 to 1970. At Chicago, he is a member of the Committee on Social Thought and codirector of the John M. Olin Center for Inquiry into the Theory and Practice of Democracy.
In his book, Bloom argues that over the past three

decades American colleges have neglected the classics and have taught too much about too many other subjects. He supports some of his criticism with examples taken from his years at Cornell.
Tickets for the lecture, at $2 apiece, are available at the Willard Straight Hall ticket office and will be sold at the door. The lecture is being sponsored by the Cornell University Program Board, a student-run agency.
Also Sergey Ozhegov, a professor at the Moscow Institute' of Architecture, will lecture on the architecture and history of St. Petersburg on Tuesday, Sept. 24, at 8 p.m. inll5TjadenHall.

A Russian picnic
"Where am I from? I am from Leningrad," answered Viktoria Tsimberov. a lecturer in Russian.
"Oh, St. Petersburg." I said, unsuspectingly. "Don't talk to me about that," Tsimberov said, turning her back.
"Why?" I asked. "What do you mean?" "Well, maybe it is Petrograd. or Petersburg, but not St. Petersburg. That is so . . . so corny." A good point, I thought, but not much of a conversation since Tsimberov had headed off in another direction. So I turned to the table on the deck of Professor Michael Scammel's house and eyed the herring in cream sauce, miniature meatballs, fruit pies, tones and cheesecakes.
Scammel is a former journalist, author of a biography of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and director of the Soviet and East European Studies Program here. Last Sunday, he held his annual picnic at his home in Dryden.
A few dozen people were there, including Savely Senderovich, Gaby Shapiro and George Gibian of the Russian Literature Department; government Professors Myron Rush and Valerie Bunce, who are Cornell's oldest and newest Soviet experts; Professors Harvey Fireside and Andrew Ezergailis from Ithaca College; and a man in blue jeans wearing a whitish, Solzhenitsyn-type beard who turned out to be Sergey Ozhegov. a world-renowned expert on the architecture of Southeast Asia and currently a visitor in the Department of City and Regional Planning.
Two more Russian visitors arrived: another city planner, Nikita Maslennikov, and his wife, Anna, a linguist and English professor at Leningrad (or St. Petersburg) University. She carried a small dish covered by a paper napkin: salmon roe garnished with lemon slices.
Someone mentioned there was a bottle of good vodka lying about, but as long as there was a hazy sun in the sky no one raised a glass to toast the independence of the Baltics, or the end of muchdespised Soviet Prime Minister Valentin Pavlov.
Instead, people talked about international computer networks, the cherry cheesecake, the challenges of raising children and the exorbitant bribes paid to get into top universities in the U.S.S.R.
Ezergailis, a Latvian who emigrated 40 years ago and teaches Russian history, asked Maslennikov. a Leningrader who is half Estonian, what he thought of American news coverage of the coup.
"Forty percent of it is . . . rrrrubbish," Maslennikov said, adding, "Listen to the way I roll my R's, like a Scotsman.
"But," he added, "I am surprised at the high quality of some of the commentaries, especially a couple of people brought on by ABC."
Maslennikov also laid out the theory that Gorbachev was in cahoots with the right-wingers.
Meanwhile, Anna Maslennikova was asked to tell how she and her husband left Leningrad on the third day of the coup.
"I feel like a bad actor, repeating this story again and again," she said, but then obliged.
Her mother-in-law telephoned her at 7:20 a.m. on Monday [Aug. 19], telling her to turn on the television. She thought her mother must be crazy; Russians rarely get up before 8 a.m.. she said, and nobody watches television in the morning.
But that was how she learned of the coup. Maslennikova, like others, assumed all the leading opposition figures would be arrested and that would mean the end of democracy.
At noon, she spoke on the telephone with a friend at the Leningrad City Council who said she would like to come visit "But how can you? Isn't the building surrounded?" Maslennikova asked.
No one surrounded the building; instead, a protest demonstration went on outside, and everyone could see that leading opposition figures were not being arrested.
The next day, the men of the city were urged to defend the city council building and the city was barricaded.
"Nikita wanted to go [to defend the city council], but I wouldn't let him because our tickets to the United States were booked for the next day," she said. That night, "even the children didn't sleep."
The Maslennikovs' last sight of home was of a huge military transport plane coming into the airport. They thought this was the final blow.
Once on the plane, they thought, "It was possible we would not be coming back," she said. "We knew we were leaving for a visit to Cornell. But what could have happened, we didn't know."

Retired staff

see Cornell in

familiar faces

For many retired staff and faculty, it was easier to see Cornell — as they knew it — by gathering in the pavilion at Stewart Park last week.
They could see their Cornell better in all the familiar faces at the annual Cornell Retirees Association chicken barbecue, rather than by venturing onto campus.
Ray Sheldon epitomized the oft-repeated comment, "You can't recognize the place anymore." He drove a carpentry-shop truck day after day for 25 years until his retirement in 1977.
"I drove through campus last year and nearly got lost near Bailey Hall," he said in dismay. "You can hardly get on campus, but there is nobody I know at the shop anymore, anyway," he added a bit wistfully.
The more than 200 faces at the noonhour event triggered memories of days gone by. Most of those memories went unspoken, but others were related with great pride.
"The boys and girls called me Lucy," boasted Lucille Belcher, who retired in 1975 after 12 years as a dormitory custodian.
"One time, I found all these papers — exams and everything — in a box in this boy's room, apparently to be thrown out. But I had a funny feeling and took them home and put them away.
"Well, wouldn't you know, several weeks later this boy, his name was David, came to me all upset over something. He said he had lost his papers and couldn't study for the final exam. I told him I had kept some of his papers, thinking something was wrong. I brought them in, and they were the ones."
Lucy said the student would look her up at the dormitories when he returned to campus to visit after graduation and even used her as a reference "for a big job he applied for in Boston somewhere."
As she spoke, someone walked by with the message "I survived 40 years at Statler" printed on the back of his T-shirt.
Thor N. Rhodin, a professor of applied physics, explained he retired this summer at age 70 because of a mandatory federal retirement law that will be wiped off the books Dec. 31,1993.
"I continue to do my research, to teach [a freshman tutorial] and to advise undergraduates. I consider it a privilege."
W. Jack Lewis, who retired in 1981 as director of Cornell United Religious Work, moved about the pavilion as he

constantly repeated the commonplace greeting, "How are you feeling?" But from Lewis, the greeting takes on special significance. Lewis is an indefatigable visitor of the ill at Tompkins Community Hospital and coordinates the Cornell Retirees Association's Hospital Volunteer Visitor Program. The volunteers logged

830 hours in 1990, making a total of 1,320 visits to the hospitalized.
As one patient, a Cornell retiree, told him recently, "The visits provide a warmth that nothing can replace," Lewis said.
The Cornell Retirees Association was established in 1985 and receives some

New networked supercomputer enhances scientific visualization

North American scientists gained a new ability to visualize the results of complicated computer calculations when Cornell placed a new IBM supercomputer on a national network Aug. 21.
The new Power Visualization System is available to the approximately 2,000 scientists in the United States and Canada who use Cornell's supercomputing facilities over high-speed networks.
Cornell, one of four national supercomputing centers, is the only site where the system is available via a network and is one of two test sites publicly disclosed by IBM, according to an IBM spokesman. (The other is Honda

But there are some positive aspects to the U.S. position, Nitze said.
In 1989, Secretary of State James A. Baker UJ introduced a "No Regrets Policy," which stated that the United States should begin to phase out fluorocarbons, improve energy efficiency and reverse deforestation.
And in 1990, "the government began to realize it could not effectively oppose some international agreement, because of rising concerns and awareness."
Furthermore, international negotiations, in themselves, have yielded benefits. Nitze said; it has helped educate people about the issue, and it has led to unilateral efforts in some countries to reduce emissions.
For example, said Nitze, "The Japanese have come up with a 100-year plan [for reducing emissions]. It would be nice now if the United States could think — if not in 100 years — at least in a 10-, 20- or 30-year plan."

Corp. of Japan). IBM plans to make the product commercially available on Nov. 22. Officials at the Theory Center say the system, which is IBM's most significant commercial entry in the field of parallel processing, will transform the way scientists deal with enormous amounts of data.
"By the end of the year, this system will be the leading way that scientists create visualizations," said Peter Siegel, director of the Cornell National Supercomputer Facility at the Theory Center. 'It's really a different kind of supercomputer, one that's user-friendly.
"Projects that took a day or two on earlier systems now will take minutes," he added. "You don't write a program; you don't do anything complicated. It does it for you."
Capable of executing 2.5 billion floating-point operations per second, the Power Visualization System easily qualifies as a supercomputer but differs from others in that it is dedicated to scientific visualization, Siegel said. Scientists increasingly are relying on visualization to transform reams of incomprehensible raw data into easily understood images.
Until now. creation of videos from computer-generated graphics has been a tedious, frame-by-frame task, according to Bruce Land, manager of visualization in the Theory Center.
The new system, however, eliminates the lag time between calculation and graphic display. It is capable of modeling the disintegration of an artificial comet, for instance, at 16 frames per second as calculations are completed. By comparison, a typical home video, which is not being generated by simultaneous scientific calculations, uses 30 frames per second to show its image.
Staff members of the Theory Center also have used the system to demonstrate applications in molecular graphics, wave behavior, ultrasound imaging and geological formations.

Michael Teter, an engineering fellow at Corning Inc-ii said the ability of the system to work through complex data sets "is extraordinary."
"The typical scientist working in industry needs thaH kind of ability if simulation is going to become the powerful ( tool it deserves to be," he added. "I could use a machin* like that 10 hours a day."
The heart of the system's hardware is signified by a bi' of Hollywood-style imagery — rows of blinking yello* lights. Not merely for show, each of the 32 lights displays. the operation of a separate computer processor. All processors work simultaneously in a technique known as paralle' processing, which makes the Power Visualization Systetf* the fastest computer by far for transforming data into graph' ics.
The processing speed is approximately 30 times fasten than that of an IBM RISC System/6000, a popular scientific workstation, and the easy-to-use software cuts substantially into the time scientists need to prepare data for visual) z3' tion, according to Sjegel. The result is that researchers ma) be able to cut the time from production of data to graphical display by a factor of 50 to 100, compared to previous systems.
"The researcher is pointing and clicking with a mouse exactly what you would do on a Macintosh for word proC' essing," said Siegel. "Immediately you see an image com6 up on the screen. That's really quite revolutionary."
Land added, "We think we can teach this approach eaS' ily and get people to do graphics themselves that, three 0* four months ago, we would have had to do for them."
The system is capable of handling most any type of da# set that researchers would generate or it can work in tandei" with another supercomputer to display the results of calc»>' lations.

Banking industry is becoming obsolete, professor says

Record bank failures occurred over the past decade because the banking industry is becoming obsolete, Cornell Law School Professor Jonathan Macey writes in the September/October issue of The American Enterprise.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. has also contributed to banking failures — even though there is no need for federal deposit insurance, he contends.
"To blame the current crisis on the banking regulation of the 1930s, deregulation of the 1970s, a prostrate real-estate market, oil price volatility, opportunistic practices of Third World debtors or business misjudgments by bankers is to miss the point," Macey writes with co-author Geoffrey P. Miller, a law professor at the University of Chicago.
"The market is rewarding new and more efficient ways of providing what were once solely banking services, and this is leading to an irreversible decline in the demand for the services banks are permitted to offer." Macey and Miller contend.
For example, small depositors now often have more money invested in pensions than in banks. Small borrowers often borrow from corporations such as General Motors Acceptance Corp., which specializes in car loans. And Jarger borrowers often find it cheaper to raise cash by selling securities than by borrowing from banks, the authors write in their article, "The Once and Future American Banking Industry."
As a result, an average of 100 banks failed every year during the 1980s, a decade of economic expansion. This

failure rate was up markedly from the previous 35 years, when an average of only five banks failed annually.
Three pieces of legislation have been proposed to remedy the industry's ailments. All of them, Macey and Miller write, fail to effectively deal with the area of banking reform that is most needed and has the most significant ramifications for taxpayers: the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
The FDIC contributes to banking failures because it provides both unlimited coverage and uniform pricing, they say. This not only overstretches the system but "penalizes safe banks and subsidizes risky ones," they write.
The authors argue that federal deposit insurance is, in fact, unnecessary. They refute arguments that it is needed to prevent a run on banks, secure a payments system and provide small, unsophisticated savers with a guarantee of financial safekeeping.
There are market alternatives that could fulfill each of these functions, they write. For example, banks could keep assets in highly liquid short-term money market instruments and issue certificates of deposit with longer maturities; and depositors who desire extra protection could purchase coverage from private insurers.
Indeed, Macey and Miller suggest, the motive for maintaining federal insurance may rest more with banks than with depositors. "The evidence suggests that banks themselves, not depositors, have been its prime beneficiaries," Macey and Miller write.
Yet it is unlikely the FDIC will be disbanded soon, the

authors acknowledge. Therefore, proposed banking reform legislation intro-
duced by the Bush administration, the House Banking Committee and Sen. Donald Riegle (D-Mich.), chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, needs to at least establish limits on FDIC coverage and market-based pricing policies.
If these kinds of changes are not made, Macey said in an interview, "We'll see the current trends toward mergers continue. We'll see bigger and bigger failures. And taxpayers will have to finance more and more bailouts."
By charging the same interest rate to all banks, regardless of performance, "this perverse arrangement has encouraged prudent bankers to leave the industry and drawn risktakers in to share the subsidies available under the current system," Macey and Miller write. "A far better approach would be to use market-based standards for setting deposit insurance premiums."
Limits must also be established on coverage provided by the FDIC — which now covers virtually all depositors, no matter how many accounts they have, how large their deposits are and whether or not they are insured — because limitless coverage has overburdened the system, they write.
"If we are going to retain deposit insurance as a boon to banks," Macey and Miller conclude, "we should, at the very least, make meaningful reforms to the way in which the insurance system is administered so that the banking system can stabilize itself."

Fungus that slaughters gypsy moth caterpillars proves its worth

A fungus that slaughters gypsy moth caterpillars proved its worth in the first largescale field tests this spring by destroying up to 74 percent of the targeted caterpillars.
Furthermore, the fungus successfully caused infections at 27 of the 34 experimental fungal release sites.
"Even though the fungus thrives in wet conditions, the fact that the fungus was so active in this year's dry weather and relatively easy to introduce to new areas is very Promising," said Ann E. Hajek, an insect Pathologist at the Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research, a private, independeiH research organization that is based on campus.
Last year, in a smaller study under more

normal, wetter weather conditions, up to 95 percent of the targeted gypsy moth caterpillars were killed by the fungus.
Gypsy moths continue to be a major problem. In 1990, about 7.4 million acres were defoliated in the Northeast, and experts predict that gypsy moths may continue to increase in 1992 and spread to new areas.
The success of this year's experiments fortifies earlier hopes that the fungus could be used as a lethal biological weapon against the leaf-devouring gypsy moth, perhaps by the end of the decade, said Hajek. The fungus is harmless to animals; it attacks only gypsy moths and a few closely related caterpillars.

Ann Hajek examines gypsy moth caterpillars sent from sites in several states wherea Japanese fungus is being used to kill the caterpillars.

Yet, relocating the fungus and its habitat soil from one region to another requires detailed study to ensure that other hidden plant pathogens are not unintentionally spread, Hajek said.
Before commercial availability, the fun-
gus will also have to be grown in mass pro-
duction. Furthermore, Hajek and collaborator Joe
Elkinton of the University of Massachusetts have found that the fungus is spreading fairly rapidly on its own — though not as quickly as the gypsy moth — and will devastate even relatively low-level gypsy moth caterpillar populations, unlike trie commonly occurring nucleopolyhedrosis virus (LdMNPV), which only strikes when gypsy moth populations become very dense.
"The fungus is not a silver bullet. We do believe, however, that it may be an extremely important mortality factor that is easy to manipulate and introduce into new sites," Hajek predicted.
When gypsy moth caterpillar populations were ravaged by a fungus in several northeastern states in 1989, Hajek and Elkinton set out to study the fungal pathogen.
With colleagues at Cornell, University of Toronto and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, they identified it as the Japanese fungus Entomopliaga maimaiga.
The fungus had been brought into the United States in 1909 by Harvard scientists who released it in 1910 and 1911 near Boston.
E. maimaiga is known to be a deadly natural enemy of gypsy moths in Japan, Korea and northern China but had not been noticed here until two years ago.
In 1989, Hajek and Elkinton found the fungus in almost all the samples they collected from Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, eastern New York, southern Vermont, northeastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and in none of the samples from western Pennsylvania, Maryland or Virginia.
By 1990, however, the fungus was found in 10 states and new areas, including central Pennsylvania, northeastern Maryland, northern Delaware, southwestern Maine and central New York. The fungus was still not found in West Virginia or Virginia.
In 1991, Hajek and her colleagues deposited about 7.5 pounds of soil from Massachusetts known to have the fungus around the base of targeted trees infested with gypsy moths at 34 sites scattered throughout northern and western Virginia, northeastern West Virginia. Maryland and westem Pennsylvania where the fungus had not been detected.
Forest rangers and research crews monitored the 34 sites as well,as 15 control sites weekly during June, looking to see if the fungus established itself and was killing caterpillars. So far, the fungus has been found as far as 328 yards from the introduced site.
"These findings suggest that the fungus can spread on its own," said Hajek. "We now need to study how fast it spreads."
Findings from the 1990 research have been published in the first issue of Biological Control: Theory and Applications.

The fungus kills gypsy moth caterpillars by beginning its attack in late April or early June when eggs hatch, Hajek said.
By producing microscopic spores that invade the skin of the caterpillars, the fungus then multiplies quickly, devouring the insect from the inside. Once infected by the fungus, the caterpillar dies within a week or so, Hajek said, and produces spores to infect more caterpillars.
The fungus also produces another type of spore that remains dormant all winter and develops in the spring.
The fungus has kept gypsy moth caterpillar populations constant when increases and subsequent defoliation had been expected, and in one plot caused the population to decrease.
Hajek pointed out that researchers have not yet tried to boost fungal densities to determine if there is a threshold that would cause a gypsy moth crash.
This fall, the BTI insect pathologist and her colleagues will assess the egg-mass density on trees where the fungus has been introduced and compare them to controls.
Next year, they plan to monitor this year's sites again to determine whether the fungus is thriving and how far it has spread. Hajek said she also plans to study in greater detail the overwintering spore stage of the fungus.
The gypsy moth, first introduced in the United States near Boston in 1869, has spread into southern Canada, throughout New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan and more recently into Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina and Ohio.
In its largest outbreak in 1981, about 13.8 million acres throughout the Northeast were defoliated — an area about the size of Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont combined.
The populations then crashed to relatively low densities until 1989, when they began to climb again.
Hajek's research is supported by the U.S. Forest Service and the USDA.

Yield-management system is donated to Statler Hotel

Cornell's campus hotel, where hospitality managers are being trained for the next century, soon will be served by the industry's newest system for achieving financial goals.
The Statler Hotel is installing a new tool called Delphi, a computerized sales-management system that will help the hotel operate its business more efficiently.
Airlines have used yield management for years with the result that they offer scores of different fares for the same travel. Hotels now are adopting a similar system.
Once the Statler becomes proficient in using the system, its operation will be taught to students in the School of Hotel Administration.
Robert W. Horgan, president and chief executive officer of Newmarket Software Systems Inc., Durham, N.H., donated the Delphi yield-management system that he devel-

oped to the Statler. Horgan graduated from the Hotel School in 1969.
"The Delphi System is a great model for students to see and understand before they go out in the world to work in the hospitality industry," Horgan said from his New Hampshire office. "The Statler Hotel is the perfect model for Delphi because it serves as host for a lot of meetings, and students can see how the system optimizes revenue."
The software for Horgan's Delphi Sales and Catering System now is being programmed for the Statler and is expected to be fully operational by December.
"Traditionally, hotel general managers judged much of their success on achieving a high average rate for occupied rooms." said Peggy Foster, the Statler's director of marketing. "But hotels now are following the airlines by charging

lower rates off-season, thus enhancing overall revenues." The Delphi system enables Foster and her staff to deter-'
mine instantly how much revenue will be generated by a group function on any specific future date. Yield-management software predicts whether the number of guest and function rooms, meals and beverage orders required for t meeting will produce optimum revenue on the days sched-i uled. Hotels in major cities reserve events as far in advanc< as eight to 10 years. Foster said. Even the comparatively* small Statler has booked group conferences into 1996.
"Use of computer-assisted management tools are becoming extensive in the hospitality industry, and I want to share these systems with my students," said Chekitan S. Dev. an assistant professor of marketing in the Hotel School.

Hawk silhouettes, such as these at Stuart Observatory, may save some of the 20 to 40 million birds that hit windows each year, according to Greg Butcher.

Here's how to reduce mortality at bird feeders

Capture by predators and collisions with windows are the most frequent causes of death for birds at feeders, and communicable diseases also take a toll. Ornithologists Gregory Butcher, director of Bird Population Studies at Cornell, and Erica H. Dunn, coordinator of Project FeederWatch, suggest ways to extend the life expectancy of feathered visitors:
• Feeders should be located at least 10 to 12 feet from trees or other cover where predators may hide, but not so far that feeding birds can't reach the food from cover in which they feel safe. "In the open, birds are vigilant. They're always watching for predators, and they establish a regular route as they fly for food," Butcher noted. After observing birds and their encounters with predators, people who provide food can adjust the accommodations.
• Break up the reflection on windows, which may appear (to flying birds) to be sky or open space. Devices that are applied inside the glass may not work because they are masked by outside reflections. Hawk silhouettes, windsocks or streamers outside the glass, as well as one-way film or tinting, may warn the flying birds, Dunn said.
"FeederWatchers were divided in their opinions as to how effective these common deterrents are," she said.

"Surprisingly little scientific research has been done on the subject."
The most effective way to obscure the outside of windows — closely spaced grids of adhesive strips — may be too much for some people, Dunn observed. She recommends a measure that has worked for several FeederWatch participants: garden-protection netting about a foot from the window. The netting can be mounted on a frame for easy installation and removal and does not block views significantly, she said.
"One of the joys of bird-feeding is observing the birds at close range, and most people have no problems installing feeders near windows," Butcher said. "If you find a problem, you may want to move a feeder from the window or in a different direction from the window."
• Feeders should be disinfected (with cleaners such as Lysol or a bleach-and-water solution) if mortality from disease is suspected, and the feeder should be thoroughly dried before seed is replaced. Do not use moldy or wet seed, and replace seed that has become damp or frozen. Feed that is provided at ground level should be placed on a tray, rather than directly on the ground.

were no bird feeders," Dunn said. "Nevertheless, M should strive to prevent any window kills, predation by caK or opportunities for disease to spread." She suggested remedies from camouflaging windows to moving feeders.
"The way we practice feeding today, on average, is eij ther neutral or good for the birds," said Butcher, whosfl Ithaca-based program analyzes data from FeederWatch a| well as the nationwide Christmas Bird Counts and othe? surveys. Modest improvements to home feeding practicef could tip the balance even farther in the birds' favorf Butcher said.
Determining what is harming birds is difficult, Duni noted, because even the most vigilant participants in sur veys such as FeederWatch can't watch all the time. Sornf birds that are just stunned by their encounter with window may quickly disappear, the victims of predators or scaven gers, she said. The 1989-90 FeederWatch study of 2,6(X bird deaths found 51 percent due to window strikes. 3< percent from predation. 11 percent from disease and 1 per cent from accidents.
"In the FeederWatch study, hawks were seen grabbing birds as they bounced off windows, and cats. dogs, opossums and squirrels also ate stunned birds." Dunn said About one-quarter of all FeederWatch participants reportec bird strikes that winter. Pine siskins, at 16.9 percent of th< total reported, were the most likely to be killed by windows followed by American goldfinches (13.2 percent), darkeyed juncos (12.9 percent) and northern cardinals (8.8 percent).
Those proportions are not surprising, considering thai the four species appear in relatively large numbers at winte' bird feeders, Dunn commented. She cited five "overrepre-j sented" species that collide with windows more frequently than their numbers might suggest: pine grosbeaks, purtt finches, downy woodpeckers, hermit thrushes and ce waxwings. "They are all woodland or tree-loving species.! and homes in wooded areas most often have problems will1 window strikes," Dunn said.
The five most underrepresented species in the FeederWatch window-strike study were house sparrows, redwinged blackbirds, European starlings, blue jays and chip" ping sparrows. "It isn't obvious why these birds are le# vulnerable than other species," Dunn said. "Perhaps," sltf added, semi-seriously, "they're particularly hard-headed."
Butcher noted that many collision victims in the FeederWatch survey were "spooked" by predators or were being chased by others of their kind when they flew into windows, while others were startled by loud noises, passing cars or the arrival at the feeder of a larger species, such as blue jays or, in one reported case, a snowy owl.
Not all collisions are fatal, said Dunn, hoping to ease tW. consciences of benevolent humans: "FeederWatcher Betttf Bahen reports that a house sparrow zoomed around the corner of her Michigan home, only to collide with her snowshoveling husband. Both recovered after a brief rest."

about 20 days before ewes normally give birth. As a control, four unborn lambs in other ewes underwent the same procedure at the same stage of fetal development — except that their paraventricular nuclei were not disabled.
Then the scientists monitored all the unborn lambs' blood levels of three hormones that were known to change just before birth: ACTH and cortisol in the fetus and progesterone in the mother. Levels of these hormones in the control group followed normal patterns, and the ewes gave birth spontaneously and on schedule. However, the hormone levels in the fetuses with disabled paraventricular nuclei and their mothers, as measured by Nathanielsz and McDonald, remained unchanged up to and beyond the regular time of birth.
Sheep are routinely used as an animal model for scientific studies of human pregnancy and birth because their reproductive systems are essentially similar to humans, Nathanielsz said. He credited earlier studies by Dr. Graham Liggins from Auckland, New Zealand, for showing that pregnancy could be prolonged in sheep by destroying

the fetal pituitary and adrenal glands, a discovery suggesting that the mother's role in initiating labor is probably a secondary one. Dr. Liggins was recently knighted by Queen Elizabeth for his experiments.
"It was logical — but it had never been proved — that the signal to start labor comes from the fetal brain," Nathanielsz said, noting that alternative explanations include a "non-brain signal." Theoretically, the best way for Nature to manage labor, Nathanielsz said, "is for the fetus itself to decide it is ready to take on the many challenges of life in the outside world."
Nathanielsz said that the Cornell laboratory's data "are consistent with the idea that the fetal brain functions like a little computer. The computer assesses many features of function, and when it is satisfied that a sufficient level of fetal maturation has been attained, it sends the signal from the paraventricular nucleus." Among the fetal systems that must be functioning normally are temperature-regulating mechanisms and the ability of the lungs to expand and take up oxygen from the air after birth, he noted.
Once the signal leaves the paraventricu-

lar nucleus, Nathanielsz explained, it sets up a chain-reaction of chemical messages from the fetus to the mother-about-to-be:
• First, ACTH is secreted from the fetal pituitary.
• ACTH then stimulates the fetal adrenal to produce the hormone cortisol.
• Cortisol circulates in the fetal blood and modifies production of estrogen and progesterone by the placenta.
• Placental production of progesterone falls and the production of estrogen rises. As a result of these steroid changes, production of prostaglandin by several tissues in the uterus is increased.
• The myometrium, the muscle of the uterus, begins to contract rhythmically and regularly, the cervix dilates, and labor and delivery occur.
Writing in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the scientists called the paraventricular nucleus a "central participant in initiation of labor," but said they had yet to determine whether the organ was what they called "an autonomous biological clock" or just the final checkpoint — a kind of adding machine — in an infor-

mational pathway through the brain. In adult sheep, the paraventricular nU'
cleus receives signals from at least thre' other parts of the brain, they observed in th£ journal article. "We hypothesize that J similar situation exists in fetal sheep, allowing the fetal brain to sum a multitude 0> senson' inputs in determining maturation*' status of the fetus to initiate parturitioi1 when a critical level of maturity has beeC achieved," they wrote.
Nathanielsz said that the Cornell Laboratory for Pregnancy and Newborn Re search plans future experiments to find the areas and pathways in the fetal brain that activate the fetal pituitary and adrenal glands. Research also will focus on th< similarities and differences between sheef and primates, he said.
"We need an answer," the scientist said"to the questions: Is the fetus involved the initiation of the birth process in pri' mates, including pregnant women? And, i> so, to what degree? More specifically, atf there instances of human birth in which t fetus is stimulating the system too early?"

No Major Changes in Endowed Health Plan Foreseen

Meeting with Cornell administrators from operating and budget areas and with outside actuarial counsel, the Office of Human Resources lias reviewed 1990 and the first months of 1991 and has estimated the cost of the plan for the rest of 1991 and 1992. The coverage provided under the current 80/20 health plan will remain the same for 1992. The rate changes for the plan are expected to he minimal. Reprinted below is a memorandum from Allan Lentini, acting director of hitman resources, to James E. Morley, Jr., senior vice president, outlining the proposal for renewing the endowed health care program for 1992. OHR is currently meeting with other groups across campus, including the Benefits Advisory Committee, the Personnel Support Group, the Dean's Council, the Financial Policies Committee of the Faculty Council of Representatives (FCR), and the Employee Assembly, to present the proposal for 1992 health care program rates and provide the opportunity for comments.
September 12, 1991
Allan Lentini to Jay Morley
SUBJECT: Proposed Endowed Health Plan for 1992
Over the next month we need to establish our 1992 premium rates for the 80/20 Endowed Health Plan.
Set forth below for your consideration is background information on the current plan, coupled with recommendations of the Office of Human Resources for the coming year.
In the immediate days ahead, we intend to review these proposals with other groups across campus, including the Benefits Advisory Committee, the Personnel Support Group, the Dean's Council, the Financial Policies Committee of the Faculty Council of Representatives (FRC), and the Employee Assembly.
Background
Coverage of the existing plan
The 80/20 Plan for 1992 offers the same broad benefits for individuals and families as it does this year. Most

eligible covered expenses are reimbursed at 80% after the annual deductible is satisfied. The 80/20 Plan covers wellness/preventive care at 80%, with no deductible. Under the 80/20 Plan, out-of-pocket costs for eligible expenses will not exceed $1,000 annually for an individual or $2,000 annually for a covered family. Cornell offers medical reimbursement accounts which allow faculty and staff to pay eligible medical expenses with pretax dollars. Participation in the pretax medical reimbursement accounts for 1991 increased by 400 individuals over 1990 participation.
Cornell presently pays 95% of the premium for individual coverage, with the employee paying the remaining 5'/<. For family coverage, Cornell contributes the same 95% provided for single coverage, then pays an additional 65% of the balance remaining for family coverage. This leaves 35% of the balance for payment by the employee.
Estimate of plan rate increase
Based on actuarial estimates developed from past claims paid and anticipated percentage of increase in medical costs for 1992. we project that in 1992 the total cost for single coverage will be $59.76 per payperiod, an increase to be borne by both Cornell and the employee. The estimated total cost for family coverage would increase to $140.03 per payperiod, as would that for dual-spouse coverage.
These increases are relatively low in consideration of the following national statistics:
• The decade's increase in health care costs has been more than 300%.
• Hospital outpatient costs rose 35% in 1990 and the first quarter of 1991.
• Premium increases for group indemnity plans (such as Blue Cross/Blue Shield) are expected to range from 20 to 25% for 1992.
• Self-insured plans, such as Cornell's, expect premium increases of from 15 to 20%.
Recommendations

the University and the employee, with individual coverage shared at the 95-5 ratio and additional family coverage at 65-35.
3. Coverage for dual-spouses should be revised. Consultations with several university committees has resulted in our proposal that the university contribute the same 95% provided for single coverage for each faculty/staff member (the equivalent of two 95% contributions), then pays an additional 65% of the balance remaining for family coverage. This leaves 35% of the balance for faculty/staff payment.
4. Previous meetings with budget committees have developed the recommendation that the university maintain a contribution rate of at least 90% of the cost for single coverage and 60% of the balance toward family coverage. Based on funding allocations available for 1992, we are recommending that Cornell's share of premiums exceed the proposed split and, that each year the split is determined using budgetary guidelines in effect for the calendar year being estimated.
5. Given our experience so far under the 80/20 Plan, we believe that if these projections prove inadequate, Cornell should cover the shortfall. It is projected that, at the close of 1991, Cornell will absorb about $350,000 because claims costs were not adjusted for the first three months of 1991. Cornell's cost is estimated to be $13.7 million for 1991 and to rise to $15.6 million for 1992.

With these planning parameters in mind, we recommend the following biweekly rates for 1992:

Individual Coverage Cornell Share Employee Share
Family Coverage Cornell Share Employee Share
Dual Spouse Coverage Cornell Share Employee Share

1991
$47.30 2.49
90.92 25.51
103.68 12.75

1992
$56.77 2.99

Increase
$9.47 .50

110.89 29.14

19.97 3.63

130.76 9.27

27.08 (3.48)

Given our experience to date with the 80/20 Plan, we recommend that the rates for next year be determined by the following considerations:
1. There should be no change in the existing benefit
package. 2. In the coming year, the present shares of the actuarily
determined cost of the plan should be maintained between

Considering continuing upward spirals in health care costs and the continuing budget pressures faced by the university, I believe this proposal again offers endowed employees strong, secure health care coverage on terms that are fair and favorable.

Own a Dog?

That's great. Just don't forget that leash laws are in effect on the Cornell campus. This means that dogs must be under the control of their owners at all times. Dogs tied to trees or posts are not considered in control unless they are confined to the owner's property. And dogs roaming freely may pose a threat to blind students with guide dogs, people using wheelchairs, and others.
Public Safety and Grounds staff will call the SPCA to pick up dogs running free. Moreover, any person on campus who observes a dog not under owner control may call the SPCA at 257-1822. For the sake of your dog and the safety of others, please observe the leash laws.

Cornell Plantations

Managing and Protecting Our

Green Inheritance

Two of our long-term commitments at Cornell Plantations are to stimulate dialogue concerning conservation and the environment and to explore with our audience the complex biological, social, and cultural relationships between plants and people. These issues are at the heart of this week's symposium on "Sustainable Development and Biodiversity: Conflicts and Complementarities," which we are pleased to cosponsor with the Center for the Environment and the Cornell International Institute for Food, Agriculture, and Development.
Two pages of this insert published by Cornell Plantations are devoted to the symposium program. The public is welcome to attend, and we hope you will take advantage of this unusual opportunity to hear some of the most active and innovative workers in the fields of biology, international conservation, agricultural science, and development economics discuss their current programs as well as their hopes and concerns for the future.
The symposium considers environmental issues on an interna-

tional scale, but Plantations also works to increase knowledge and appreciation of our local environment. The great diversity of plant life in the flora of the Finger Lakes region, including examples of rare and endangered species, is illustrated in the well-maintained and documented collections of our botanical garden and arboretum. We also manage over 2,500 acres of natural areas that preserve outstanding examples of native plant communities, such as old-growth forests and wetlands, and we protect the natural beauty of the campus landscape. Finally, by offering classes, workshops, and special educational events such as this week's symposium, we provide the Cornell and Ithaca communities an opportunity to develop a greater understanding of the natural world and to trace the complex interdependence of plants and people throughout history.
Join us for this special event; share with us now and in the future our exploration of the beauty and complexity of our "green inheritance," as well as our shared responsibility to maintain it.

Plantations' Natural Areas require safe, attractive, and environmentally appropriate access as much to ensure the protection of the vegetation along the trails as to protect visitors from unnecessary risks. In the past six months, stairways have been constructed to improve the access to Beebe Lake, Cascadilla Gorge, and McLean Bog.
Each site has its own constraints and problems. At Beebc Lake, volunteers from the Cornell student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers took on the challenge of protecting existing trees while constructing a safe connection from Sackett Bridge to the trails below. To

do this, they designed and built a wooden staircase (below left) along existing foot trails to completes the walk around the lake..
Cornell's hardworking student chapter received the national Robert Ridgeway Award from ASCE in recognition of its academic excellence and community service. The staircase at Beebe Lake—a major community service project—was funded by Martin Tang (Engr. 70) along with his sisters Nadine Tang and Leslie Tang Schilling.
Cascadilla Gorge benefited from alumni interest and university support in 1991. The entrance at the Center for Theater Arts that begins the steep descent to the lower trails was greatly improved with a gift from the class of 1986. A stone entry and stairs have been built in the traditional style of the gorge trails. In addition, access to the middle trails was rearranged by replacing the dangerous steps at the Oak Avenue entrance with a curving staircase of railroad tics at a more stable site.
Off campus, the accessibility of McLean Bog, a fragile and valuable example of local marsh and bog vegetation, has been improved in order to protect the wetlands and surrounding forest from damage as visitation increases. A boardwalk has been constructed through a mucky

September 19-22,1991

Co-sponsored by: • Center for the Environment • Cornell International Institute for Food, Agriculture & Development • Cornell Plantations

One of the consequences of agricultural development has been a decline in biological diversity. At the same time, development has been accelerated by the discovery and utilization of diverse genetic resources. This paradox underlies the growing realization that people's well-being in the long run depends on success both in food production and in protecting the biotic base that nature has provided us.
In the past, persons concerned with agricultural improvements to feed a hungry world and those concerned with biological conservation to safeguard fragile ecosystems have tended to see each other as adversaries. Each has seemed to endanger the other's legitimate goals. Yet both sets of concerns, having biological and social dimensions, are interdependent.
This symposium will bring together persons who are concerned, professionally or personally, with agricultural development or with biological conservation. The aim is to examine common ground between these two communities of interest to facilitate cooperative efforts. Clarifying where conflicts of purpose and practice exist is a first step toward resolving them.
This forum will give people from various disciplines and with different professional responsibilities an opportunity to exchange ideas, reexamine assumptions, and determine how best to work toward common goals. The panel discussions and workshops will engage academics and practitioners who represent the fields of biology, agricultural sciences, development economics, planning, and international conservation and whose combined experience spans the globe.
The outcome of the symposium, following panel and workshop explorations, should be some wider agreement on how to maintain the diversity of life on earth while providing an acceptable standard of living for its human inhabitants.
The organizers thank the Ford Foundation for its help in making this symposium possible.

Battle Ground or Common Ground?
When Conservation and Development Meet

Thomas E. Lovejoy is the assistant secretary for external affairs at the Smithsonian Institution. He is well known for his research in conservation biology and for his public efforts as an environmentalist. During his years at the International Wildlife Fund's U.S. program, he directed the organization toward a focus on rainforest conservation. Lovejoy founded the public television series Nature.

Nyle C. Brady worked for 25 years at Cornell as a soil scientist and research administrator before serving as director general of the International Rice Institute in Manila, Phillipines, during the green revolution of the 1970s. He returns tonight as Senior International Development Consultant to the World Bank and United Nations Development Programme in Washington, D.C.

A project with a two-fold mission was inititatied in early 1990 with major support from the Cornell International Institute for Food, Agriculture, and Development, in

the Los Haitises region of the Domincan Republic. Of the 700 square kilometers in this region, 200 are currently protected as Los Haitises National Park. A recent study proposes the establishment of a multiple-use zone surrounding the park that would be open to conditional use by the local people, like the children below left.
"The success of the program depends on the establishment of a socially and environmentally appropriate management plan for this multiple-use zone," says professor of rural sociology Chuck Geisler. Cornell researchers have joined with Dr. Marcos Peha Franjul (fifth from left with farmers in photo below) and other colleagues from the Dominican Republic to examine the complex issues surrounding Los Haitises.
The Dominican research agenda includes studying the root crop yautia, an important source of starch
, \x

in the local diet and a cash crop for farmers in over a dozen communities in and around the park. Because farmers traditionally clear the forest to grow yautia, the incorporation of this practice into a management plan is an issue of both environmental and social concern. Research will focus on alternative crops or expanded opportunities for yautia production outside the park.
"An additional goal of this program is to institute a master's of science degree program in natural resources at la Universidad Nacional Pedro Henriquez Urefia for Dominican students," according to Jim Lassoie, chair of Cornell's Department of Natural Resources. Lassoie and Dominican counterpart, Hilton Cabral, will be coordinating this effort.

Within the bog, the boardwalk across the floating mat in Mud Pond also has been improved. This boardwalk was originally constructed because trampling had damaged the mat so severely that students ran the risk of falling through it and up to their waists in muck.
Trail improvement is an ongoing process. Plans are underway to rebuild the steep trail and stairs that descend from the Judd Falls Road entrance of the Mundy Wildflower Garden to the flood plain below. This is the most popular access fro people coming to the garden from campus or

Toucans and Tropical Horticulture A two-week tour of Costa Rica, cosponsored by Harvard's Arnold Arboretum and Plantations, is scheduled for next February. Plantations horticulturist Doug Spencer will conduct a hands-on workshop at the Wilson Botanical Garden that will be followed by an eight-day ecological tour. For information call 255-3020.

A Break in the Cycle
Plantations has expanded and formalized its approach to holistic plant health. With the recent addition to the staff of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) coordinator, the future looks dim for the battalions of Japanese Beetles feeding and breeding in Plantations' gardens.
Assistant Director for Horticulture Mary Hirshfeld describes IPM as "plant healthcare with an emphasis on prevention." When someone on the staff notices a problem with a plant, IPM coordinator Donna Levy is notified. She follows up with a diagnosis and recommendations for treatment. Records are kept of mechanical as well as chemical treatments and their success is noted for future reference.
According to Levy, the program is intended to improve plant performance and the quality of maintenance while minimizing the use of chemicals. Hirshfeld emphasizes the importance of considering more than just the type of plant and its pest or disease. A plant appropriately selected for its site that is healthy and well-grown is more likely to survive its trial without human intervention.
For the beetles, IPM is the beginning of the end. Their population is reduced through both mechanical and chemical treatment. The worst infestations are sprayed at their peak on the most vulnerable plants. Beetles are manually removed and

destroyed where possible. But this is not the worst of it for
the beetles. The trap shown below is luring adults with hormonal and floral scent bait, thus interrupting breeding. If enough are trapped the number of egg-laying females will decline. In the case of Japanese Beetles, this has a two-fold benefit. Trapping prevents the larval stage, which develops underground, from feeding on and damaging turf grass roots before emerging in July to feast on roses and other attractive plants.
IPM is a long-term commitment to pest management and one element is the accumulation of historical data, says Hirshfeld. By regularly checking Plantations' traps, information for future reference is collected on the way the population grows and changes throughout the season.
