yer resources has been submitted for $900,000 federal funding, compared

Further information is needed realistically to evaluate costs, benefits, 
priorities of land use and management. Two graduate students in 
ness at the University are currently working on research projects to 
luate the long-run economic and social alternatives in land manage- 
‘+t of Lusk Creek. These studies will complement those in the scientific 
1S. 
Our urgent present need is to achieve a consensus and agreement on 
1s for Lusk Creek which will make possible its enjoyment, appreciation, 
study without its accompanying tragic destruction. This is the task 
vhich we should now address ourselves.

TIZENS CRUSADE FOR CLEAN WATER FAILS 
e House of Representatives failed to vote the full one billion dollars for 
an water under the Water Quality Act of 1966 in a vote on October 8. 
nds were authorized but never approved. A national Citizens Crusade 
Clean Water, composed of 35 organizations across the nation, sought 
persuade Congress to approve the full amount. The Nixon administra- 
n was opposed and endorsed a budget item of only $214 million. Appli- 
ions from cities and municipalities for grants for water pollution plants 
al over $2.5 billion. The vote lost 215 to 187. 
Among Illinois congressmen who voted YES were (Democrats) Annun- 
m, Gray, Kluczynski, Mikva, Murphy, Price, Pucinski, Rostenkowski, 
ipley, Yates, and (Republicans) Derwinski McClory, and Railsback. 
Those who voted NO—all Republicans—were Anderson, Arends, Col- 
r, Reid, Erlenborn, Findley, Michel, and Springer. 
Congressman McClory warned that “water pollution is the number one 
ue of the day.” His words went unheeded.
