Per Se

There have been numerous descriptive and factual articles about annual mathematics contests or tournaments; however, very little has been written about mathematics leagues per se. Articles have appeared in The Mathematics Teacher describing the Nassau County [Long Island] Interscholastic Mathematics League and the Bergen County [New Jersey] Interscholastic Mathematics League, as well as Intramural Mathematics League [West St. Paul, Minn.]. More recently, an article appeared in the January ′67 issue of this magazine describing in some detail the operations of the Tri-State Mathematics League of Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. It was noted in the article that the Massachusetts Association of Mathematics Leagues has fifty schools participating. Other educational journals, and newspapers, have included brief resumés of the activities of other leagues and comments by well known educators on the values (and sometimes detriments) of mathematics competition.

Quality Of Water

Shellfish (Crassostrea virginica and Mercenaria mercenaria) and shellfish-raising waters from a variety of Long Island and New Jersey marine embayments were examined for the presence of human enteroviruses. Little difference in virological quality was noted between areas designated as being open or closed to shellfishing. Viral isolations could not be correlated with coliform counts from identical samples, indicating the need to re-evaluate the use of bacterial standards as indices of the overall sanitary quality of water and shellfish.

Collective Work

Physician strikes in the United States have been relatively rare, although this has not been the case in other countries nor with other members of the healthcare community, such as nurses. This situation, however, could change. More physicians are either joining unions or seriously discussing doing so. The National Guild for Medical Providers, for example, is actively trying to expand its membership of 11,000 doctors in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire into Illinois, California, New Jersey, Colorado, Texas, and South Carolina. The Federation of Physicians and Dentists, with 2,500 members in Florida and Connecticut, is trying to establish itself in Seattle, Las Vegas, Tucson, and Philadelphia. Although unions are neither necessary nor sufficient conditions for strikes, if physician unions do become more prevalent, the potential for collective work actions, including strikes, increases.
