showed that the smaller the con
centration of soil plutonium, the
greater the percentage picked up
by plant roots. Concentrations of
plutonium in roots were much
greater than in other parts of the
plants, suggesting previously un
suspected food contamination
dangers to root crops such as
potatoes, carrots, beets and on
ions.
The scientists suggested that
previous experiments, which
measured concentrations in
leaves rather than roots, may
have used soil concentrations of

plutonium so high as to injure the
plants and thereby inhibit uptake
of plutonium from the soil.
It had previously been assumed
that plutonium does not spread
rapidly through the soil because,
being relatively insoluble, it is not
easily transported by water. Wil
dung and Garland's findings chal
lenge this assumption in an impor
tant way. As roots grow downward
they carry with them plutonium
picked up near the surface. When
they die, their plutonium-laden
decay products may be soluble
and thus subject to long-range
transport.
This may explain why an earlier
study found that successive
clover crops grown in soil con
taminated by plutonium fallout be

each crop may add soluble mater
ial to the soil that is more easily
taken up than is raw plutonium.
"With increased production and
use of plutonium which will ac
company increased world depen
dence upon nuclear energy," the
two scientists concluded, “it is es
sential that the potential for
plutonium entrance into the food
web at the soil-plant level be as
sessed."

Polls draw few voters
A possible all-time low of 386
students voted Tuesday in the
ASUO primary elections.
"I haven't seen a lot of cam
paigning, but it could be students
are just disinterested,” says Jo
Nugent, an election board
member, in attempting to explain
the low voter turnout.
Fellow board member Cindy
Eder blamed it on a lack of "blaz
ing issues.” The only semi-hot
issue, she says, is the election of
the Incidental Fee Commit
tee (IFC), which controls $1.3 mill
ion of student funds.
Final polling for the IFC will be
held during the general election,
narrowing a 14 candidate field.
The general election is slated for
Wednesday and Thursday, Oct.
27 and 28.
The whole primary election pro
cess so far has been filled with
problems. In addition to the low
voter turnout, pollworker Dan
Garner says that "one guy took all
the ballots we gave him and wrote
"bullshit" across them.”
Also, a vonng Doom was re
moved from Carson and Walton
dormitories sometime between
Monday night and Tuesday morn
ing.
When asked who took the
booth, ASUO Vice-Pres. Jamie
Burns said he figured it was
“probably just some punks."
Physical plant worker John Evans
recovered the booth from a dorm
patio before the polls opened
Tuesday morning.
Today is the last day to vote in
the primary and voting booths will
be open from 9 a m. to 4 p.m.

I strongly believe in students’ ability and responsibility to involve
themselves in management of programs and institutions that affect
their lives, and as an IFC member I would actively seek student input
into the decisions of the committee. I would continue my present
involvement with the EMU Board, which this summer completed a
new governance document increasing student control of the EMU. I
support ACT’s efforts at tenant-managed bousing, and will actively
join in the renewed struggle for student control of Mac Court.
