A team of medical scientists headed by Dr. Ronald Natale is researching a combination of three drags which ac- cording to Natale have shown some ef- fectiveness against previously un- treatable cancer of the lung. "We began doing actual clinical in- vestigations at the Sloan-Kettering In- stitute approximately four and a half ears ago," said Natale, of the Univer- sity's division of Hematology-Oncology in the Department of Internal Medicine. Of the 12 experimental anti- cancer drugs tested, only three had any effect on lung cancer, he said. "The average survival rate in patien- ts with advanced lung cancer is three to four months," according to Natale.- "With the multi-drug treatment, the average survival rate is currently beyond eight months," he said. * Eventually, the new treatment may prolong life for more than one and a half years, he said, adding that but while the new treatment looks promising, the results are still preliminary. "The treatment is classified as in- vestigational and our results will have to be confirmed by independent in- vestigators outside the university," Natale explained. The three-drug combination - Cisplatinum, VP16, and MGBG, all chemotherapeutics used against various types of cancers - has clearly improved 60 percent of the advanced or terminal lung cancer cases on which it has been tested, according to Natale. Ultimately, he said, the treatment will be even more effective than it is now. Another aspect of Natale's research involves the successful cultivation of different types of cancer cells outside the body This technique is very similar to "growing bacteria in a petri dish," ac- cording to Natale, and allows physicians to test new cancer chemotherapies on tumor cells without subjecting the patient to the uncomfor- table side-effects of most cancer drugs.

Students support So1darity with rally By LOIS SOLOMON A crowd of about 40 gathered on the Diag yesterday in this year's third rally at the University supporting the Polish labor union Solidarity. Speakers from the Campus Labor, Support Group, which sponsored the rally, and representatives of other organizations criticized President Reagan's foreign policy and called for an end to martial law in Poland and to U.S. intervention there. "REAGAN MAY sound sympathetic, but he is using his sympathy for Cold War manuevers," said Paul Lefrak, a member of the Campus Labor Group. Peter Pesch, a representative of the campus Latin American Solidarity Committee, accused Reagan of hypoc- risy in his domestic and foreign policies.° Reagan has urged support of the strike in Poland, Pesch said, while a similar strike in the United States is illegal, according to the Taft-Hartley Act.

In Minnesota, where a record one-day snowfall of 17.1 inches fell on Wed- nesday, forecasters said up to four ad- ditional inches fell yesterday and more was predicted today.

Reagan reconsiders 'budget pla WASHINGTON (AP) - President Reagan postponed final decisions on his. 1983 budget plan after having "second thoughts" about higher excise taxes to narrow a burgeoning deficit, ad- ministration sources said yesterday. Several officials, asking not to be identified, said the president ten- tatively had agreed Wednesday to seek higher excise taxes on cigarettes, whiskey, wine and "luxury" items as part of a plan to raise some $15 billion in new federal revenues in 1983. YESTERDAY, however, the president was described by one White_ House official as the "lone holdout" in the face of a unanimous recommen- dation by his economic advisers that he approve the budget plan, including the new taxes. "The president is reluctant to give a final sign-off" on boosting excise taxes "and probably will be mulling. it over the weekend" before deciding whether, to go ahead with it, said the official. "He's having second thoughts," the official added. The president plans to disclose the major elements in his budget Tuesday, when he delivers his State of the Union message to Congress. REAGAN'S reluctance is said to stem from his concern that any move to seek higher taxes would indicate a lack of confidence on his part that his economic program of spending cuts and income tax reductions was not working. In addition, Republican leaders in the House have warned that raising excise taxes on consumer goods, such as alcohol and gasoline, would be a political mistake for the GOP. In a recent letter to budget director David Stockman, House GOP Whip Trent Lott of Mississippi andRep. Jack Kemp of New York, one of the earliest advocates of tax cuts, complained that higher excise taxes will hurt the "little guy" and risk political defeat fob Republicans.

Diane Goldin, director of public affairs for the New York-Cornell Medical Center, said Wednesday the original guide had been prepared by an outside consultant and mailed in November to people who had made donations to the Manhattan Hosnital.B ut the Emeraenv First Aid guide University Health Services was holding a.Logo Design con- test. The Daily correctly supplied most of the infdrnation for the contest, except the telephone number. People in- terested in entering the contest should contact Ellie Puffe of. UHS Patient and Public Relations at 763-4384, not 764-4384 as the Daily previously reported. Puffe explained that she was a bit worried that some poor patient at the University Hospital was receiving entries to the contest, and was probably not too pleased. Puffe said she had not been able to get through to the previously listed number,- but she knew it was a University Hospital extension.
