Two years into a cancer-cluster investigation at the Literature Building, department faculty, students and staff have started petitioning to move classes into Sixth College trailers and holding office hours in on-campus cafes or at the Cross-Cultural Center.

Today, protestors will host “Literature Office Hours Here,” a demonstration on Library Walk from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., to inform students of what they perceive to be administrative inaction in the ongoing investigation of the building.

According to professor John D. Blanco, the event will be quieter than the teach-in held on Feb. 17, when dozens of participants marched to Chancellor Marye Anne Fox’s office to protest her response to professor Cedric Garland’s report. When his research found that an elevator in the building emitting high electromagnetic fields may have caused eight reported breast cancer cases between 2000 and 2006, Fox hired epidemiologist and UCLA professor Leeka Kheifets to review the report instead of shutting down the elevators. Kheifets is also an EMF expert.

Why downplayed Repacholi Chernobyl?

This is what's behind Michael Repacholi's interview to the New Scientist downplaying Chernobyl disaster results. Why would the world be under the illusion the same is not happening with the cellular and powerline industries? A contract is just a piece of paper for him, and people are just pieces of flesh and blood - is there a difference for him between the two kinds of the above substances? And words are just words: sentences like "If science doesn't suit you it's not my problem" (like he wrote to Robert Riedlinger) cannot be simply used as a paste - as long as The Guardian and Microwave News publish the root of the problems, that cannot be cured as disturbing symptoms to get rid of with a word-paste, or with lines that are full with the word "science" as many times as possible, as if it impresses someone.
