BALFOUR SAID he thought there were several reasons for the policy violations.
Explosion rips chemical plant; at least 4 killed
BRIDGEPORT, N.J. (UPI)—A series of explosions ripped through a chemical tank yesterday, at an industrial waste processing plant, killing at least four people. Five others were reported missing in the smoldering debris.
Nine persons were injured, some of the suffering critical chemical burns.
State police said one major blast and five secondary explosions occurred at a 9,000-gallon tank at the Rollin Environmental Services Co.
The tank flew up into the air and landed 300 feet away. It was believed to have stored volatile material which was fed into an incinerator for disposal.
A company spokesman said the explosions may have been triggered by sparks from a blast.
The injured, mostly workers from two construction firms building an extension to the facility, suffered fire and chemical burns and were rushed by ambulance and helicopter to hospitals in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
A spokesman for the Bridgeport Fire Department said 15 families in the immediate area were evacuated, but later returned to their homes when authorities learned there was no danger that the fire would spread.
Some 250 firefighters were at the scene.

"I think the major reason is both students and faculty want to get through with exams," he said. "We are not afraid."
"I have not had any requests to move an exam from the beginning of finals period to the end and I think that says something about the violations."
Balfour said instructors were concerned about getting grades in before the test.
"I'm sure the instructors must know about the policy," Balfour said. "I think a lot of them think if it's okay with their students, it's okay with the policy."
Balfour said the problem is magnified because final end later this semester than in previous years.
IN NOVEMBER 1976, the Calendar Committee proposed that the University
Although the Kansas Board of Regents approves the starting and ending dates for the semester, the University decides the dates for final week.
Krogh said he could not explain why instructors seemed to be violating the notice
"I suppose there are so many rules that some people can't keep track of them," he said.
"I think one problem may be the general indifference to governance throughout the faculty and student body, which is shown by failures to meet quorans."

HOWEVER, KROGH said he thought that the policy had been publicized well enough so he could not blame the administration for not letting the faculty know of the change.

Kroph said he had been receiving requests for exemptions to the policy since June. After searching for guidelines on what would constitute an exemption, the Calendar Committee made about a half dozen exemptions to the policy.
The exemptions were granted on the basis that they would be reconsidered each season.
