3500 invade Diag Hash Bash

(Continued from Page 1)
ticipants were still a bit reluctant to
pull out any weed. Cries of "What kind
of freaks are you - a hash bash with no
hash!" were common. "Hey, officer,"
said one pot smoker to a policeman, "do
you see any hippies here?" The officer
replied with a giggle, "not really."
IT TOOK A long series of citations
and arrests and the ever-growing
crowd to break the ice; but by 3:00, the
smell of cannibus sativa was pungently
in the air to stay. Musicians played for
whoever would listen in all the areas
surrounding the Diag. A pair of young
fencers clashed. Jugglers, cycle gangs,
and an "orater" in the style of Dr. Diag
all roamed the crowd, which peaked at
4:30.
But dope wasn't the only reason
people amassed on the Diag. Perhaps
as prominent at the celebration was
alcohol, and although such drugs as
LSD and cocaine were not as visible as
they used to be, they still could be
found. Many who were on the Diag were
also observing, often gaping in

disbelief.
"I am not believing this," said Matt
Marquardt, a freshman from Texas.
"They don't have nothing like this at
home. The goat ropers wouldn't let this
last five minutes."
The winds picked up by 6:00, making
it much colder for the crowd, which
began thinning out.
"We're pretty grateful that it got cold
so fast," one officer said. As darkness
fell, a clean-up crew had started
picking up the thousands of cans. By
9:00, the Diag was virtually empty.

HOUSTON (AP)-A new study shows
that a synthetic chemical cousin to
marijuana is effective against the
devastating side effects of severe
nausea and vomiting that frequently
result from chemical cancer therapy.
Human tests at the Indiana Univer-
sity Medical Center in Indianapolis in-
dicate a new drug-Nabilone -is
superior to Compazine, one of the prin-
cipal drugs used to control
chemotherapy-induced sickness,
researchers reported yesterday.
THE NAUSEA AND vomiting
associated with therapy is far more
serious than a common upset stomach.
Doctors say it can become so severe
that some patients refuse further
therapy that might save their lives.
Past studies show that marijuana and
its principal active ingredient-tetra-
hydromcannabinol, nicknamed THO-
are effective anti-nausea agents.

began re-evaluating the illegal plant to
see if it might be allowed for medical
uses such as this.
But the plant and even synthetically
made THO can cause abnormally rapid
heartbeats, extreme euphoria and
other effects doctors want to minimize.
SPEAKING HERE at the American
Cancer Society's annual science
writers' seminar, Becky Furnas said
the experimental drug Nabilone is not a

synthetic THO although it has a similar
molecular structure. Nabilone,.
produced by Eli Lilly & Co. of In-
dianapolis, does not cause rapid heart
rate and is much less euphoric than
THO, said Furnas, a nurse specializing
in cancer treatment.
"The chemistry is manipulated to
enhance certain effects and reduce
others," she said.

anonymous) and housekeeping super-
visor Al Schaheen. Schaheen was
unavailable for comment.
TTHE CUSTODIAN, who was fired
last Tuesday by Schaheen, said he
wasn't given any official reason for his
termination, but he believes it was
because he told two other supervisors
how he felt about Schaheen.
The employee later told the two
supervisors that "if I was a labor
steward, I would make a thorough
anecdotal record of his (Schaheen's)
negative, overbearing, derogatory,
dehumanizing, and superior attitude
actions, and, in short, I would rack his
ass."
The worker said he was "treated like
a small child" Monday while being
reprimanded for leaving some dust
behind the bed of a young patient.
THE CUSTOIDIAN said another
reason for his discharge was his com-
passion and sympathy for a dying
leukemia patient.
"He (Schaheen) said that if a worker
in a hospital is disturbed a great deal by
dying patients he shouldn't work

there," the custodian said.
"This display of compassion was
done mainly after my work period was
over," he said. "My compassion and
sympathy is not confined to one patient
but to all patients of the University
Hospital."
THOUGH THE custodian is not a
present member of the union, Newman
said he intends to work to help the
worker. Newman said he will talk both
to University President Robben
Fleming and Vice-President James
Brinkerhoff about the matter within a
few days. Neither Fleming or
Brinkerhoff have been informed of the
situation.
"The very first time something hap-
pens like this some action must be
taken," Newman said.

THough the local president did not
say whether this particular incident
could spur a strike, he did say "that it is
the exact type of thing that would."
The custodian has mixed feelings
about his case being presented to
Fleming.
"I THINK this (his firing) is a very
minor incident," the worker said. "I
am afraid it will blow up and dissipate
into a major labor discord. I believe it
may even become the incident to
initiate a strike which may occur in not
too long."
"The union must prevail in this unfor-
tunate incident ;or its position in this
hospital will be vastly weakened," he
added. "If it gets rid of Al Schaheen I
say 'let it go.' That person should be a
trash-and-mopper."
