"Campus, Corporation, Quality of Life", a national symposium on world economic and social development, opened ecology's big brief season at PSU. It was a six-day conference in early March with 100 students and 50 businessmen joined as delegates in composing domestic resolutions for the United Nations and the Nixon Administration. National speakers offered their solutions to student audiences. Speakers included: John Hessel, Stanford ecologist; Glen Olds, U.S. ambassador to the UN; James Grant, chairman of the Overseas Development Council; James O'Conner, San Jose State ecbnomist; and Governor Tom McCall. Solutions varied from McCall's five cent bounty on empty beer cans to Hessel's two child limit for families. The symposium, sponsored by the Council on International Relations and United Nations Affairs, sought to close the "gap" between students and corporations. Last day's vote on resolutions indicated cooperation, if little else, was plentiful.
