Dear all,
A student, associated with `Third World First', has just been
distributing some leaflets in the dept. for a campaign called
`Ethics for USS'. This is, perhaps shamefully, the first I've heard
of this, although I remember there being a brief discussion on the
forum some months ago. Anyway, according to the leaflet our pension
moneys are invested in British American Tobacco (117m), British
Aerospace (43m) and... you guessed it... Shell (300m). The campaign
(whose supporters include luminaries like Graham Ashworth, Tim
O'Riordan..... and Crispin Tickell!) asks for USS members to send in
a statement calling for an ethical and environmental policy.
There is an `Ethics for USS' website at:

Ethics for USS is at 4a East Avenue, Oxford OX4 1XW
