Page 2-Thursday, March 4, 1982-The Michigan Daily Cancer treatment proves effective IN BRIEF BOSTON (AP) - Doctors experimenting with an- tibody treatment, a promising technique that uses the body's natural defenses, have reported their first success in achieving a long-lasting remission of can- cer. The researchers said the monoclonal antibody treatment was "remarkably effective" in halting a form of cancer called B-cell Lymphoma in a 67-year- old man with an advanced case of the disease. The ,cancer attacks cells which produce antibodies. THE RESULTS ARE the most positive yet in this new field of research. However, the researchers ,cautioned that much more study is needed before the work has any practical use in treating cancer patien- ts. The research was conducted at Stanford Univer- sity and published in today's issue. of the New England Journal of Medicine. The therapy uses large batches of antibodies - the disease-fighting proteins produced $y white blood cells -to attack a single enemy molecule. THE STANFORD patient had failed to respond to standard chemotherapy and interferon, another ex- perimental treatment. However, his cancer disap- peared after eight doses of antibody over four weeks. The patient has remained free of disease for the past nine months. The doctors emphasized that chemistry involved in this treatment is slow and tedious. Monoclonal antibodies must be custom- made to fit each patient's cancer, and the process takes six months. "The requirement for antibody tailored to each patient puts serious constraints on this approach," they wrote. More streamlined production methods will be necessary if further tests show that the treat- ment is effective. SO FAR, THE* 'Stanford doctors have tested monoclonal antibody therapy on 10 patients with varying results. However, the case reported in the New England Journal is the first in which long- lasting remission was achieved. The doctors were the first to report partial regression of cancer in papers published last summer in the journals Lancet and Blood Research is continuing on several more cancer vic- tims. But Levy said no more patients are currently being accepted into the experimental program. Mitterand begins Israel visit u JERUSALEM (AP) - President Francois Mitterrand of France, declaring himself a friend of Israel, began a state visit yesterday to warm the long-troubled relations between the two countries. Mitterrand referred pointedly to the Palestinian issue in his opening remarks at Ben-Gurion Airport, but Israel preferred to ignore policy dif- ferences and recognize that Mitterrand has moved France's Middle East policy away from what was seen here as a pro- Arab slant. MEANWHILE, Israeli troops and police, some of them in tears, smashed ;.fln 1mo en~ at with bwar "You're Jewish soldiers you, shouldn't be doing this to us!" one squatter shouted at the unarmed troops as they broke into the mobile, and makeshift homes in- a 6 a.m. raid on Hatzar Adar, the illegal settlement' near the development town of Yamit on the Mediterranean coast. Some women soldiers cried as they helped round up about 60 people, more than half of them young children, barricaded inside their homes.

The Sinai was captured by Israel during the 1967 Mideast war. In Beirut, Lebanon, the Palestinian news agency WAFA said Mitterrand's visit meant "France has become reliant on U.S.-Israeli policy, thus can- celling its claim of being a mediator in the Middle East." Mitterrand, who visited Israel five times as 4Lprivate citizen, said, "This is a friend coming to you," but he went on to cite European hopes for a Palestinian solution.

Cebulski pointed to other the guidelines.r i "WE'RE GOING to see that the Pen- tagon is going to take 'a bigger and bigger chunk of the research pie," said Veiger. Unviersity records show that 3.25 percent of all money awarded to University researchers in second half of 980 and that the figure climbed to 6.4 percent in the same period last year. University research administrators, however, dismissed this notion, arguing that the increase was the result of a change in policy at the Pentagon, not the University. "The headcount figure is the more important one," said Dennis Cebulski, the administrator who compiled the MSA ELECTIONS Calilfor Candidates a General Elections for the Michigan Student Assembly (MSA) will be held April 6 and 7, 1982.

MSA ELECTIONS, APRIL 6, 7 figures that showed-that there was very, little change in the number of defense department contracts sought by Un- versity scholars. CHARLES Overberger, University. viced president for research, attributed the increase to "a conscious effort on the part of the (defense) department to sponsor basic research." Feiger, however, argued that the recent statistics show a need for an of- ficial review of. University research that might lead to the development of offensive military weapons. For more than a decade, the University has main- tained a policy which forbids Univer- sity reseach which would contribute to the destruction of human life. A student government , report in January called for the University to set up a new review committee to examine all Pentagon-sponsored reseach at the University.. Currently, only the few projects each year that are classified are reviewed for their compliance with THE FACULTY and student Resear- ch Policies Committee approved Mon- day a recommendation that calls for all projects - whether classified or un- classified - to follow the Regents guidelines, according to Assistant Vice President for Research, Alan Price. The committee also recommended, in a let ter to Overberger, that the ad- ministration make a renewed effort to inform deans and the chairpersons of academic departments of their respon- sibilities for reviewing faculty research to assure its compliance with Univer- sity policy. The committee did not ask, however, that a formal review process .be set up for unclassified defense department projects, said committee Chairman Raymond Kahn, professor of anatomy. The January Michigan Student Assembly report, prepared by Bret Eynon, who was hired by MSA to in- vestigte the issue, was critical of an ealier review by Kahn pf the defense research situation. Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports February auto sales drop DETROIT- Despite heralded rebate programs, domestic automakers yesterday reported February car sales plunged to their worst sales rate in two decades-down nearly 16 percent from last year's depressed levels. 1982is not the winter of discontent for the auto industry-it's the winter of indecision for the car-buying public," scowled American Motors Corp. Vice President Robert Schwartz. U.S. car sales of 459,942 for the month were down 15.9 percent from 543,593 in 1981. The daily sales rate of 19,039 was the worst since 1962's 19,035. If cars continue to sell at the February rate, 6.4 million will be sold by the end of 1982. U.S. sales in the final 10 days of the month dropped 27.7 percent compared to 1981. Sales for the year are down 16.9 percent. Guerrillas attack prison in Peru; free inmates LIMA, Peru- Leftist guerrillas attacked a Peruvian prison high .in the Andes with submachine guns and dynamite yesterday, freeing as many as 250 inmates in a bloody five-hour battle that left 20 dead and about 12 woun-" ded, authorities said. Officials said two coluins of guerrillas struck just before midnight Tuesday, launching simultaneous attacks on police stations before' assaulting the prison in the southeastern city of Ayacucho, 220 miles southeast of Lima. Between 200 and 250 inmates-nearly half of the prison's population- escaped during a fierce five-hour gun and dynamite battle, government of- ficials said.'The fugitives included'80 jailed members of a Maoist guerrilla group. , Eighteen inmates and two policemen were reported killed in the fighting ' and 12 police were reported wounded, the Ayacucho governor Marciano Cavero said in a telephone interview. OPEC nations schedule meeting. ABU DHABI, Unitedl Arab Emirates- OPEC's president said yesterday he will call a special meeting later this month of the 13-nation oil carte, deeply divided over pricing and measures to deal with the world oil glut. OPEC .President Mana Said al Otaiba, who is also the United Arab Emirates minister of petroleum arid mineral resources, said the meeting would be held by the end of the month and only the "date and the venue" remained to be settled. Oil experts interpreted the remark to mean Saudi Arabia had agreed to take part in the parley. Saudi Arabia, the main foreign supplier pf U.S. oil and the world's largest oil exporter accounting for about 40 percent of OPEC's output, has consisten- tly opposed a special OPEC meeting as well as any change in its price or production levels. Saudi Oil Minister Sheikh Ahmed Zaki Yamani has said market forces alone "should be allowed to determine these factors. Otaiba, speaking to the Emirates news agency WAM on his return from Riyadh, said the meeting would be a "consultative" session. Under OPEC rules such a meeting cannot take binding decisions and oil experts expected the meeting to concentrate on production levels. Vermonters vote arms freeze MONTPELIER, Vt. - Vermont's votes for a nuclear weapons freeze are the first snowballs in what supporters predict soon will be an avalanche of opinion against nuclear weapons. Voting in tiny townhalls and isolated schoolhouses on Tuesday, Vermonters used their annual town meetings to plead for nuclear disarmament. Officials said 191 of Vermont's, 246 communities voted on the resolution, which calls for an immediate freeze on the manufacture, testing and deployment of nuclear weapons and the missiles and bombers that deliver them. Tallies yesterday showed 159 communities supported the freeze, 21 op-' posed it and 11 tabled action. Supporters hope the votes will result in more national discussion on the issue.
