Cornell Chronicle Volume 15,Number 38 New Wrinkle on Acid Rain: It May Wash Off Pesticides on Crops, Cost Farmers Money Although acid rain maynot cause direct damage to crops, it could harm farmers' budgets by washing away pesticides, a study at theBoyce Thompson Institute (BTI) for Plant Research has found. Laboratory studies at the Ithaca-based facility have determined that two outof the three pesticides tested onpotato andbean plants are washed off at a more rapid rate by moderately acidic rain than byless acidic rain. Results of this initial study were presented at thelast meeting of the Northeastern Division of the American Phytopathological Society. The discovery that acid rain accelerates the wash-off rate of pesticides should lead to investigation of other indirect effects of acid rain, according to Earle Butterfield, John Troiano andJay Jacobson, plant scientists at BTI. Forexample, researchers must now consider whether chemical pesticides that are notremoved by acid rain remain harmless to theplant after they have interacted with acid rain. Is the pesticide penetrating the leaf surface and becoming more toxic once it gets inside? Or is thepesticide's chemistry changed so that it no longer protects against disease? Andis thepesticide, once in combination with other substances from acid rain, affecting non-target organisms, including beneficial microorganisms in the soil, or other plants or animals? The Boyce Thompson scientists applied commercial formulations of three pesticides — cupric hydroxide, chlorothalonil and triphenyltin (TPTH)— to greenhouse-grown plants. After allowing the pesticides to dry for a day, theplant leaves were exposed tosimulated rain at various levels of acidity. The experiments showed that cupric hydroxide andTPTH were washed off leaves at a higher rate than expected while chlorothalonil wasnot. The laboratory "rain" simulated the acidity of precipitation in theIthaca area during summer months, the time of year when crops require chemical sprays for protection against pests anddisease.Recent studies have found theacidityof Ithaca rain during summer to range from pH 4.8 to 3.4, with a mean andmedianof 4.0. Unpolluted rain would have a pH close to 5.6 on a logarithmic scale where vinegar is pH3 (highly acidic) andammonia is pH 12 (highly alkaline). Pesticide formulations, which are often proprietary secrets, aredesigned to resist weathering by ordinary rain, Butterfield says. Headds that most pesticide field tests are conducted in parts of theU.S. where acid rain is nota problem. "Apparently they (pesticide manufacturers) donottake into consideration that the rain may be acidic. We believe they should." Farmers who schedule pesticide applications according to standard recommendations in pest management programs may not begetting themost effective crop protection, theresearchers say. They suggest that pest management programs should consider thechemical composition of rain. Following the 1982 and 1983studies in laboratory greenhouses, theBoyce Thompson researchers plan to repeat their experiments outdoors this summer, where they can approximate ambient growing conditions. They warn of drawing conclusions Field tests similar to theone shown and operated by the Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research here will be used this summer to expand studies of acid rain's effects on pesticide wash-off. from tests on only a fewpesticidesand mixtures are a serious problem for crops, crops: results maybedifferent when tests but they arecalling for other investigators are expanded to other chemicals andother to consider that possibility. Says Jacobson, crops. ' 'The significance of acid rain for agricul- ture may be through less obvious interac- Butterfield, Troiano andJacobson aren't tions with pests andpesticides rather than ready to say whether acid rain-pesticide through direct damage to plant foliage." Congratulations Class of 1984! Thursday, May24, 1984 Proxy Group Supports Shareholders On S. Africa The Proxy Review Committee has announced that it voted to support a shareholder proposal on Motorola Inc.'s proxy requesting that thecompany not make anysales to theSouth African police or military until thesystem of apartheid is abolished. The committee reported it felt that the company's response both in its proxy and to the Investor Responsiblity Research Center (IRRC) failed to express sensitivity to the possible useof its equipment for repressive purposes. The company stated only that it believes themajor use of itsequipment is to support the protection of people and property. Further, it indicated that it will respond to future tenders from theSouth African police and military anddoes intend to pursue business opportunities with the South African government even though it does notexpect it will result in any significant sales. The company hasmade one sale to thepolice since the U.S. government embargo onsuch sales was lifted in1982. A number of major American corporations have established policies prohibiting sales to either the police or the military, even though they are nolonger prohibited from doing soby theU.S. government. Anidentical proposal wassubmitted to General Motors for inclusion onits proxy this year but was withdrawn whenthe company indicated it would not make such sales. The committee also expressed concern about thecompany's seeming unwillingness to beopen about its operations inSouth Africa. It declined toprovide IRRC with information onits sales practices inSouth Africa or oncurrent employee figures there. In addition, it refused to allow IRRC to visit its South Africa facility in 1983. The committee was concerned,too, about thelack of progress in thecompany's employment practices in South Africa. Although thecompany says it has implemented "numerous internal policiesand practices which have facilitated economic advancement of non-white employees in South Africa" in thepast three years the company's rating byArthur D. Little, Inc. of its adherence to the Sullivan Principles has not improved. In allthree years, it received a rating of IIIA, the lowest rating for companies meeting thebasic requirements of the Sullivan Principles. The committee is writing a letter to the company explaining its vote and expressing its concerns and those of thecampus community. The committee reported that it is moving ahead on its study of thedivestment issue and of as many of thestudies done for other institutions and municipalities as possible. It also is anticipated that theInvestor Responsibility Research Center will undertake a major study of theissue. When this study is completed, thecommittee reported it will recommend to theInvestment Committee anychanges in the university's present policy ondivestment that it feels appropriate. 2 Cornell Chronicle Getting ready fortheir Commencement Sunday, two members of the Class of 1984 join the statue of Andrew Dickson White in some preliminary celebration of a successful four years.

Everhart Will Become Chancellor at Illinois Thomas E. Everhart, who has been dean of the College of Engineering here since January 1979, will become chancellor ofthe University ofIllinois at Urbana this summer. Everhart, whois the Joseph Silbert Dean of Engineering and professor ofelec- trical engineering at Cornell, notified the faculty and staff Tues- day that he expectsto start inhis new post by late July. As chan- cellor, he will be the chief officer at the 35,000-student Urbana Thomas Everhart campus of the university. Cornell Provost W. Keith Kennedy said, "We will truly miss Dean Everhart, whose leadership in the Engineering College has been dynamic. Among the giant strides made during his time here have been the Knight Laboratory housing the National Research and Resource Facility for Submicron Structures, the Computer-Aided Design Instructional Facility, Snee Hall for the Department of Geological Sciences, nearing completion, and DeFrees Hydraulics Laboratory, which will be dedicated early inJune. These physical facilities, plus the increased strength ofthe college's faculty and staff, have made his time with us highly productive for the college. During this period the annual research expenditures inthe college increased from $14.8 million to $27.1million." Everhart is a specialist in electron optics and electron physics with long experience in teaching, research and consulting. An Molecular Biology Symposium Here Sponsored by BT1 authority on the broad aspects of submicron-structure fabrication, he has published more than 80 technical papers and holds five patents. Everhart received the A.B. degreein physics, magna cum laude, from Harvard University in1953. Subsequently, he studied at the University ofCalifornia atLos Angeles, earning the M.Sc. in 1955,and during this period he also worked in research and development at the Hughes Aircraft Company. In 1958 he received the Ph.D. in engineering from Cambridge University, England, where he was a Marshall Scholar and helped develop the scanning electron microscope. Before joining the Cornell faculty, Everhart was a faculty member at the University ofCalifornia at Berkeley for20years. He served as chairman ofthe Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science there. During his years at Berkeley, he spent a leave atthe Westinghouse Research Laboratories, conducted research at the Institutfur Angewandte Physik inWest Germany as a National Science Foundation senior postdoctoral fellow, and spent a year asa Guggenheim fellow atCambridge andat Waseda and Osaka Universities in Japan. He is a member ofthe National Academy of Engineering, a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, a past president of the Electron Microscopy Society of America, and a member of a number of other professional organizations. He serves as chairman of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Science and Educational Advisory Committee, and isa charter member of the Education Advisory Board of the National Academy ofEngineering. Throughout his career, he has been active asanindustrial consultant, and is currently chairman of the General Motors Science Advisory Committee and a member of the R.R. Donnelley and Sons Technical Advisory Committee. Everhart and his wife, the former Doris Wentz, have four children. Molecular biologists from more than two dozen countries will exchange information on a puzzle with a promise — the relationship between bacteria and plants — at the Second International Symposium on Molecular Genetics of the Bacteria-Plant Interaction, June 4-8 in Ithaca. Hosted by the Boyce Thompson Institute (BTI) forPlant Research atCornell and conducted at the Ithaca College campus, the symposium will bring together researchers from industrial, governmental and institutional laboratories, all with the common goal of improving crop plant productivity. "If we can understand how genes in bacteria and inplants communicate, both in pathogenic (harmful) and symbiotic (mutually beneficial) relationships, we can begin todesign better crop plants," says Aladar A. Szalay of the Boyce Thompson Institute. Szalay, the director ofBTI's Plant Molecular Genetics Laboratory, and Dr. Frederick M. Ausubel, Department of Genetics, Massachusetts General Hospital, are organizers of the symposium. Of particular interest tomolecular biologists attending the meeting are two types ofplant "tumors" caused by bacteria, the nitrogen-fixing nodules on legumes that convert atmospheric nitrogen to fertilizer, and the disease crown gall caused by Agrobacterium, knownto geneticists as "nature's genetic engineer." Discussions will also focus on other plant pathogenic bacteria and on plant host genetics. Financial support for the symposium is provided bythe Rockefeller Foundation and by pharmaceutical, chemical and genetic engineering firms. Minority Resume Bank Established Cornell has begun a Minority Resume Bank, the first inthe Ivy League. The bank provides employers atCornell with additional qualified minority candidatesfor non-academic jobs, according to Donald N. Johnson, director ofCornell's Office of Equal Opportunity. "This is a pro-active approach to affirmative action inhigher education," Johnson said, "and we're encouraged by the initial response." More than 70 people already have responded to Cornell's April 25 advertisement inThe Chronicle of Higher Education, which sought resumes from minorities, he said. On-campus employers are beginning to receive resumes from the bank. Joyce M. Hawkins, assistant director of the OEO, administers the program, which begins when anemployer here posts ajob opening, she explained. The employer receives resumes ofqualified minority men and women from the Cornell bank. Each candidate receives information about the job as well asa letter explaining that he or she must submit a letter of application. If a potential employer receives a resume ofa candidate from the bank, who appears to fit the job's needs, he orshe may initiate contact with the candidate, Hawkins said. Resumes will be kept in the bank for six months, unless a candidate tells the OEO to remove it sooner, she added. Resumes may be continued inthe bank at the request of 4 May 24, 1984 Cornell Chronicle Please Post Number 21 Cornell University University Personnel Services Day Hall Ithaca, New York 14853 607/256-5226 Please Note: Job Opportunities is a publication of Staffing Services and is distributed each Thursday through the Cornell Chronicle.
