FOR EXAMPLE, prostrate cancer which usually develops on older men, becomes as much or more of a threat than lung cancer for men if they live long enough. The report was based on a 12-year, ongoing survey of cancer occurrence and deaths by the government's National Cancer Institute. The resear- chers excluded common skin cancers from their study. White males and black females born in 1975 had a 30 percent chance of even- tually developing cancer. Today white males have almost a 37 percent chance, while the risk for black females is less than 32 percent, the lowest for all men and women. BLACK MALES had a 28 percent chance in 1975 and today have a slightly more than 35 percent chance, said the researchers. White females born in 1985 have a 36 percent chance of developing cancer, up 2 percent from 1975. Women are most likely to develop breast, lung, uterus or colon-rectum cancers, although the researchers ex- pect to see a decrease in uterine can- cers. Lung, prostate and colon-rectum cancers are the leading cancers in men. Two-for-one ban spurs mixed reactions I,!

Ed. cuts anger students (Continued from Page 1) Scott Gibson, an LSA senior who voted for Reagan. Students who do not like Reagan's proposals to cut federal funding for education are comforted by the thought that Congress will not pass the budget without making some changes. "REAGAN IS an adept politician. He knows Congress won't give him what he asks for," Leachman said. Gibson agrees that "what's taking Vplace is Reagan proposes one thing and1 Congress proposes another." Presidents often ask for more money or less money than is needed for education so that room exists for negotiation, said Gretchen Morris, co- chairman of the Reagan campaign on campus and a senior in LSA. EVEN IF the federal government MSA endlorses, (Continued from Page 1): of the press" and "diversity of views." That motion passed easily. SPINNER and Shareef Mahdavi, Managing Editor of Consider, then in- troduced a resolution calling for MSA to condemn the incidents and the actions of the people involved. Mahdavi said Consider's aim is to stimulate debate on campus, and that the inserts "compromised our name, violated our freedom, and harmed our itegrity." Schnaufer, disagreed, saying the in- sert did not compromise their name. He said it was demeaning to the intelligen- ce of 'University students to say that they were unable to distinguish bet- ween Consider and the insert. SCHNAUFER said Boyd's freedom was violated in the removal of the in- serts. - The second resolution never came to a vote because several members had left the meeting. A majority of the members of the assembly must be present in order to constitute a quorum. Earlier in the meeting the Assembly endorsed PIRGIM's bid to extend their funding contract with the University and to form a committee to examine alternative ways of funding the group. does make. big cuts in financial aid, Morris said the people who have the willpower and desire to go to school can go anywhere. "The people who don't have the money will have to be more creative in finding the funding," Morris said. Education Secretary William Bennett Monday suggested that students give up their cars, stereos and vacations so that they can cope with the proposed' federal aid cuts. A national student group yesterday. demanded an apology from Bennett. The secretary seems to be trying to trivialize an important issue," Sen. Paul Simon (D-Ill.) said. "What we are talking about is equal access to higher education -not stereos, cars and vacations. PJRG19Iplain Barry Horovitz, PIRGIM's local chairman and Kristen Haas, PIRGIM's campus coordinator, noted that historically MSA has backed the group and that PIRGIM works closely with MSA on some issues. One of the two members voting against the endorsement was LSA senior Mike Weber. "I don't think PIRGIM should have a privilege other organizations are denied." he said. "It gives them a funding advantage that does a disservice to other organizations." MSA President Scott Page, who will go before the regents Thursday to en- dorse PIRGIM, said that the group should not be penalized because it no longer draws widespread student sup- port. PIRGIM is required to show regularly that it has strong student support to continue being funded through student registration, but that requirement has been waived in recent year. Page said the fact that only 11 per- cent of the students support PIRGIM was not surprising because "the only thing 50 percent of the student population does is attend football games and sleep through 9 o'clock classes." (Continued from Page 1) to limit the number of people who do not intend to get drunk but do because of the two-for-one specials. "INSTEAD of obligating yourself for two (drinks) you can just pay for one," said Nik Koslov, who was drinking at Dooley's Many bars do not inform their patrons during happy hour that drinks are being sold on a two-for-one basis, said Amy Hennes, a bartender at Good Time Charley's. The ban would keep patrons from feeling obligated tohave the second drink even though they did not intend to drink that much, she said. "If you stick it in front of someone, they'll drink it," said Steve Gasser, a. patron at Charley's. EVEN THOUGH the ban might keep patrons from getting drunk uninten- tionally, it would not necessarily end drunk driving, some said. Trooper Mell Owens of the Michigan State Police in Ypsilanti said "those (bar) owners will find a way to get Around it." "IF THEY're going to drink and drive, they're going to drink and drive no matter how much the drinks are," said Diane Warmington, a bartender at Rick's American Cafe. Several bartenders and patrons said they thought there were more effective ways to reduce drunk driving. Phillips said a better idea might be car pools in which one person in a group of drinkers stays sober in order to drive the others home. BILL HENRY, a patron of Charley's, suggested changes in the way people - think about drinking and driving would get at the root of the problem whereas a ban would not. "What needs to be changed around here is attitudes, not drink prices," Henry said. The responsibility to prevent drunks from driving rests with the bartender, said Rich Brown, a bartender at The Count of Antipasto. "They have to be able to tell when a person has had enough and cut them off."
