Issue 725 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI· ST. LOOIS March 23, 1992 Jacques Cousteau Receives Ecology Day MedalAt UMSL by Matt Forsythe Current news reporter
UM-St. Louis took another giant leap forward last Tuesday, as one of the most environmentally conscious universities. The university was honored to play host to Jacques-Yves Cousteau, who was awarded the World Ecol ogyMedal. The honor was bestowed upon Cousteau by the International Cen ter for TropiCal Ecology. Cousteau' s well-known work as an oceanogra pher, world explorer and environ mental activist earned him this coveted award The Center gives the medal to individuals who have made ecological concerns the main focus of their lives and work. Last year on World Ecology Day, John Denver was the recipient The ceremony began at 11 a.m. in the J .C. Penney auditorium and was attended by many local digni taries. The themes discussed were the fragile state of the world's envi ronment, Cousteau's contributions in this and many other fields and strategies on possibly changing humanity's role in the world in order to preserve instead of destroy what is left of the environment "Global warming knows' no boundaries. Pollution once in our air knows DO boundaries. The World Ecology Medal seeks to reinforce this message. It is symbolic that what we do in St Louis to preserve that environment is beneficial to people living around the world as well as people living in Missouri.

The UM-Columbia Missouri Students Association, the equivalency ofUM-St Louis' SGA, have rallied the troops over proposed budget cuts. On Friday, about 50 UM-Columbia stu dents were supposed to make their presence known to the UM Board of Curators. Unfortunately, transportation problems hin dered them. The possibility of the students arriving had the police depart ment in action. UM-St. Louis Police Chief John Pickens had a majority of his officers on standby in case problems evolved. But the police have nothing to worry about UM-St Louis students, especially SGA. ' On March 16, a SGA meeting was scheduled. This would have been the perfect time for President Mark Grimes to rally his assembly and make their voices heard. There are many students on this campus who are upset because of rising tuition and their lack of ~y-so about it Grimes and SGA cancelled the meeting because not enough assembly representatives knew about it Secondly, and more importantly, the assembly would probably be shocked if SGA leaders took a stand. Since Grimes and his Vice President Julie Schwetz took office last May, the assembly has been looking for accomplishments from their leaders. Still, they have found none. Once again, this has made UM-St. Louis students look like they don't care when important issues arise.
