TOXINS IN OUR ENVIRONMENT

Gerald Poje, an environmental toxicologist with the National Wildlife Federation, will speak on "Toxins in Our Environment" at Roanoke College Tuesday. The presentation will be held in the Alumni Gym at 8 p.m.

Following the presentation, there will be a debate on the use of polystyrene foam in packaging between Poje and a representative of the polystyrene industry. Jim Benefield, executive director of the committee for Environmentally Effective Packaging, represents the users of polystyrene, such as fast-food industries and vending services.

The lecture and debate are free. For more information, call 375-2282.
