UC Men Play Vital Role In Pest Battle
UC scientists and extension specialists shape safe pest control programs for major California crops. Researchers verify pest problems, study life history, assess natural enemies, test pesticides for crop safety, and conduct field trials. Programs published as 24 leaflets advise specific pesticides, usage, timing, and safety to protect yields and consumer residues.

Undersea Vehicle Tested At Scripps
A remotely operated unmanned craft named the RUM vehicle is being tested at UC Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The device, built by the Marine Physical Laboratory under Dr. Victor C. Anderson, aims to observe the sea floor, collect samples, and assemble underwater instruments. It carries five miles of cable to receive commands from shore and send signals back to operators. The hull is sealed and air-filled for deep dives, and the manipulator arm features a two pronged hand, rotating wrist, elbow and shoulder joints for underwater tasks.

Bacteria Still Defy Scientists
New evidence shows staphylococcus bacteria persist in patients and families long after a hospital outbreak. Sixteen months later 26 infants, 12 mothers, 2 fathers, and 23 siblings carried the bacteria, with 31 more post-discharge cases linked to carriers. Researchers note high persistence and rising antibiotic resistance. The Lancet cites lasting carriage up to six years in some cases.
