Student Elections at UB
By Editorial | Oct. 7, 2002UB's record on recent elections is pitiful. Beginning this spring with the Student Wide Judiciary's involvement in the undergraduate Student Association executive board elections and continuing with the Graduate Student Association's recently documented inability to hold an election without controversy, the University Council's long-overdue election is only one more example of an ongoing problem.

"Air Pollution May Contribute to Diabetes, Survey Says"
By BRIAN WEINSTEIN | Oct. 7, 2002While it has been long known that air pollution has several damaging effects on the population and the environment, including the depletion of the ozone layer, respiratory problems, and a shorter lifespan, a recent survey shows that toxins in the air may also cause some cases of diabetes.In the August issue of the Diabetes Care Journal, Alan Lockwood, M.D., a UB professor of neurology and nuclear medicine, released information from his study of the levels of Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) being examined in correlation with the number of diabetics in areas that are heavily polluted.Lockwood released the information in a letter to the "Letters: Observations" column of the Diabetes Care Journal, a method which researchers often use as a way to introduce ideas that they think should be considered for more in-depth research.Approximately 18,000 people in each state were called and given a survey that asked whether they have diabetes.According to Lockwood, the survey questions were not specific enough to determine whether the person taking the survey had Type-1 (Insulin-Dependent) Diabetes or Type-2 (Non-Insulin Dependent) Diabetes."It's not clear by the way the survey was done," said Lockwood.
