Pollution- became a clean word in North America this year, and Carleton was quick to jump on the ecology bandwagon. Under the prodding of community programs commissioner Randy Wood, students' council acted before Christmas to fund a fledgling pollution probe, and allotted funds for the hiring of a co-ordinator. Carleton and the Ottawa community were being told to Do lt! by the Pollution Probe at Carleton University. And it was being done. With office space donated by students' council and money made from the sale of memberships and Support your Eco-System buttons, the Pollution Probe worked to make Ottawa care about the death of our environment. The Pollution Probe is based at Carleton, but its membership is one-third professional people, one-third students, and one-third Ottawa community, and since its inception the Probe has directed its efforts at the community. Smoke billowing out of the maintenance building smokestack became the object of a write-in campaign sponsored by the Probe, and clip-out coupons in the Carleton prompted hundreds of students to complain to university president Davidson Dunton. Over one hundred coupons were mailed in. But cost factors , Dunton told the Pollution Probe, would prevent any action being taken. ,A city-wide campaign to pick up and destroy D.D.T. was initiated by the Probe, which worked through high schools by using them as collection agencies for the pest-killing people-killer. Householders who missed the high school pickups could call in and ask for a Pollution Probe driver to make the pick-up. The Ottawa River, branded dead by the ecology enthusiasts, was buried symbolically on the first day of spring. 1 And a measure of the Probe's acceptance by the Ottawa community is the fact that a Probe member was hired for the summer by the Ottawa Citizen to conduct coliform counts to determine the pollution level at Ottawa area beaches. The Probe has submitted briefs to government agencies expressing its opinion of the way things should be done, and Pollution Probe co-ordinator Phil Reilly was named to the Ottawa City Air and Water Pollution Committee as one of five members-at-large. This was the year pollution became a clean issue across the country, and Carleton was among the first universities in Canada to set up an independent research and study Probe to examine the illness of environment, and to make Ottawa aware of what wrongs have to be corrected.
