of the pollutant and the length of time exposed to the pollutant.
"Formaldehyde is toxic," he said.
Faiman said that there was no way he could estimate the concentration of the formaldehyde gas or the danger it presented in the office without a complicated analysis.
THE CONSUMER PRODUCT Safety Commission has had about 6,000 complaints regarding the use of urea formaldehyde insulation.
Some homeowners have been forced to move out of their homes because of the insulation's bulging.
according to the February issue of Science News.
Once urea formaldehyde insulation hardens, the only way to remove it is to tear off a side of the wall in which it has been sprayed. The insulation then has to be scraped out of the wall.
Wiechert said that Drywall Construction also insulated several other campus buildings with fiberglass batting and blown in fiberglass, not the controversial foam insulation.

rence citizens had voted down the intangibles tax.
Lamborn said yesterday that the issue was "touchy" with the commissioners because of strong city opposition to the tax.
He said he presented his plan now because he had become more aware of local concern during the campaign, and so the city would be prepared for his future legislative action.
COMMISSIONER DON BINNS said Lamborn's remarks were unnecessary because it was publicly known that several commissioners were concerned about the tax.
Commissioner Tom Gleason, also apee because Lamborn spoke during the meeting, said it interfered with the non-partisan policy maintained by the City Commission.
"I don't really think he had much intention of us considering the matter," Gleason said. "I thought it was a mistake."
member of the Downtown Improvement Committee, said the commission had faced a tough choice between two good firms. He said it was good that Sizerel did not appear to want to change the traffic patterns.
Reaction
"There's a lot of congestion the way it is now," he said.

Two other development firms were vying to be developer of record. Sizeer's selection followed interviews last week with the commission and the improvement committee.
PALOS SAID that if a memorandum of agreement could not be reached with Sizerer, the city could try to reach one with the second-ranked firm, Link Programs, Inc., Chicago, Two Crowns, Inc., Fort Worth, Texas, was ranked third by the commission.
Barbara Waggoner, a representative of the Old West Lawrence Neighborhood on the improvement committee, which selected the final three developers from an original field of eight, said Stainback appeared to be willing to listen to the concerns of residents.
"HE HAS HAD a great depth of experience and he is willing to listen and to look," she said. Waggoner said historic preservation should be a part of the redevelopment.
Waggoner also praised the selection process.
"We might as well make the most of that," she said. "I wish we had seen it as an asset long before."
Waggoner also praised the selection process. "Most heartwarming of all is the way it was arrived at," she said. "It was kind of a model of a way a citizen group ought to function."
Argentina fires army leaders in post-Falklands war purge
By United Press International
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina-The Argentine army reshuffled its top command yesterday, sending nine brigadier generals into retirement on the heels of an exhaustive investigation into the army's performance during the Falkland Islands war.
Nine brigadier generals, including Alfredo Saint Jean, who served as interior minister during the war with Britain, went into "voluntary retirement," the army said.
No mention was made of four other generals who commanded Argentina's troops on the Falklands; military governor Mario Menendez, Omar Parada, Oscar Jorel and America Daher,
THE INVESTIGATION, Daher said Monday, showed the Argentine government had expected "less action than a military parade" when its troops seized the British-controlled Falkland Islands. Argentina surrendered the war to Britain June 14 following 74 days of fighting.
Last week all four asked for retirement to protest their exclusion from the top-level "Calvi commission," which conducted the examination.
Military sources said that the four protesting generals probably would be retired following a war.
changes reflected an attempt to replace infantry division officers who were directly involved in troop fighting on the Falklands, with armored vehicles and other implements were not part of the war.
Yesterday's shuffle also promoted five brigadier generals to the rank of division generals, and 15 colonels earned the rank of brigadier general.
THE LEADERSHIP shake-up is the army's first serious effort to oust officers directly implicated in the war. Former president and army commander Lt. Gen. Leopoldo Galliert was forced to resign several days after Arzentina's surrender.
Political observers said that the personnel
The air force and navy recently conducted their own internal "purges" following in-house investigations into their performance in the only war Argentina has fought this century.
For the past month, an investigation led by Gen. Edgard Nestor Calvi has delved into the army's mistakes during the war. Army com-mission officials have also officialized studies the report in meetings last week.
Details of the Calvi report leaked to the media last weekend revealed that the four generals who commanded troops on the Falklands fought among themselves for the top position.
THE REPORT also said Menendez, installed as Falkins military governor after Argentina's April 12 invasion, was told — apparently by Galietin — that the issue was purely diplomatic and would be won quickly in the United Nations by Foreign Minister Nicanor Costa Mendiz
Dahar, apparently embarrassed by the reports of in-fighting, said a new investigation is necessary "to clear up the truth and result in the establishment of justice without fear and without cover-ups."

ERICKSON, CHANUTE sophomore, surged to an early lead and then won going away, with a little help from Menninger, who fell behind and then took the lead. The team start/finish play, playing the role of the spoiler.
"I want to include my friend in the strategy," Erickson said as he accepted the $32 certificate from the Kansas Union Bookstrees. "He游戏了 game to give me a couple of extra shots."
