It is no secret, unhappily, that the study of theatre in the colleges and universities of this country is a discipline under siege, but the severity of the problems received strong confirmation in New York State this fall when two of the most distinguished and long-established (over a century in both cases) programs in the country were, with little warning, faced with draconian cuts or outright extinction. The fact that one, the state University of Albany, was the flagship school of the public system, and the other, Cornell University, was one of the state's most distinguished private institutions, suggests the scope and impact of these actions. At Albany, four other programs are being terminated along with theatre—Classics, Russian, Spanish, and French—while at Cornell the extent of the severe cuts imposed on the theatre program—almost a quarter of the total budget of the department (which also shelters dance and film)—are being suffered by no other program in the university. The prominence of these two schools in a state that has long claimed a central position in American theatre makes them particularly significant symbolically of a discipline in crisis, and this has impelled me to engage in serious and sometimes painful reflections on that discipline, the basis of the present essay.

The paper outlines the main achievements of the Department of Public Administration and Political Technologies of the State University of Management in the field of methodology and teaching methods of the "Public Administration" study field. Promising theoretic and methodological findings are highlighted as well as deep insights of the department pedagogical staff in teaching “Public Administration” as a field of study. Therefore, the author states, it is justified to position the Department as a national leader and a prospective international partner in the field of teaching the Public administration course.

The majority of bottled water industry uses polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles as their packaging. When exposed to direct sunlight, this type of packaging is able to cause new compounds in water. Research at the State University of New York states showed that from 259 bottled water in 9 countries, 242 of them contained microplastics. The purpose of this study is to determine whether there are differences in the amount of microplastic in bottled PET containers that are exposed and not exposed to sunlight. This type of research is pre-experimental using the static group comparison design. There are 2 treatment groups: PET bottled water that is exposed and not exposed to sunlight. The results showed that there were microplastics in PET bottled water exposed and not exposed to sunlight. Samples of bottled PET which exposed to sunlight have microplastic’s number of 175 particles/ liter. Whereas bottled water that was not exposed to sunlight has microplastic’s number of 132,25 particles/ liter. Independent t-test showed that the Sig (2-tailed) value was 0,023. This value less than  = 0,05. So, we can say that there were differences between both of them. The conclusion of the study was that there were differences in the number of microplastics between PET bottled water exposed and not exposed to sunlight. As a form of vigilance, the public is advised to deliver PET bottled water from direct sunlight both for distribution and other type utilization of PET bottles for other purposes such as disinfection of water using sunlight (SODIS).

OUR attention has been called to two corrections which should be made in the letter of Dr. Thomas O. Gamble as it appeared in this column in the September issue of Pediatrics Dr. Gamble writes: "On page 365 I quoted the first objective of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. Quotation marks should have been placed at the end of the two sentences which are enclosed in parentheses. Anyone reading my letter might assume that the last two sentences represented my interpretation of the first objective. So, while I agree entirely with the objective and its interpretation, I should not be given credit for something which belongs to the A.A.P.S." The second correction is made in the letter from Dr. William J. Orr, Buffalo, New York, which is published below. Dr. Myron E. Wegman and Dr. Ralph V. Platou, Professor and Head, Department of Pediatrics, respectively of Louisiana State University of Medicine and Tulane University School of Medicine have polled the professors of pediatrics throughout the country to ascertain their experience with federal funds. The results of this survey are summarized in their letter.
