4 pge 2 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, April 8, 1987 Space drug store created at 'U' (Continued from Page 1) IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press reports to deliver in-flight medical care. Two crew members from each 90- day mission will be trained in emergency medical care. For Lloyd, the pharmacy is a+ challenge, and a fun project outside his daily routine. "It's a real tickle," he said in his faint Texan drawl. Lloyd, a native+ of Detroit, studied at the University+ of Houston for five years. LLOYD and his partner in the project, Bill Martin, who is the clinical coordinator of pharmacy services in cardiology at Harper- Grace Hospitals in Detroit, recently were flown by NASA up to 32,000 feet and zero gravity to test the ability of powders to mix into liquids. Powders are the most practical and stable way to transport pharmaceuticals in space. "It was an absolute tickle. I got to float and do all the things that I'm positive everybody wishes they could do at least once," Lloyd said. "When you're exposed to zero gravity for the first time, other than getting sick, there's a sensation that everything you perceive is upside- down. It was extremely queer that you had to concentrate on pretending that everything is right- side-up," he said. Lloyd and Martin became involved in the project while they were studying at Houston. They both earned their doctorate in pharmacy (called "Pharm D" by candidates) at Wayne State University, and met each other "when Chuck gave a lecture on Paraquat poisoning," which people get from smoking Marijuana. Martin said, "I gave him some grief." The Pharm D is meant to work in conjunction with an M.D., Lloyd said. "That's what the Pharmaceutical Doctorate is all about: being able to understand medical literature and medical data and put it in a form that we can turn around and give the most efficient drnw data hack and he good confidant to a physician,' Lloyd said. IN 1984, Martin and Lloyd worked together on several projects at the University of Houston, and eventually got picked by NASA to work on the Space Station. Martin said he and Lloyd are perfect complements for the work they do. "We work very well together as a team: I'm creative, and then I lose interest, and I stop, but Chuck picks up the ball and pushes it forward and gets results, but then he stops - he's not interested in the data and results - and that's where I come in again," Martin said. The two of them have created special pharmacy-related projects in Houston. Just before they both left Houston, they, set up a program to teach 20,000 people cardio- pulmonary resuscitation and encourage them to donate their blood in exchange for concert tickets. They also put together a pharmacy game resembling Trivial Pursuit to raise money for the American Society of Hospital Pharmacies, Martin said. "Crazy things, we do a lot of crazy things," Martin said. LLOYD has only been in Ann Arbor for a year and a half, and is still adjusting to the new environment. "I wish I had a lot more (spare time). I came back here after five years of being in Texas, and if you ask me where a good restaurant is, I'll tell you where it is in Houston. I've been back now about a year and a half, so Ann Arbor is reasonably brand new. "Being single I've got to start a social life, and I'm focusing toward making a change. And I finally took up running, a sport I always thought was insane. This year is my big year to start doing some of the runs," Lloyd said. i Think You're Pregnant?

Hewitt, Ypsilanti Call: 434-3088 (any time) State Senate boosts speed limit LANSING - The Michigan Senate voted yesterday to boost the speed limit on rural interstates to 65 mph, trim the penalty for speeding on some other highways and outlaw radar detectors. The final 25-8 vote came after a surprise shift against letting Michigan motorists keep their radar detectors. Just last week senators balked a ban. But yesterday, by a 20-11 margin, they agreed the devices should be illegal. "I think we should be serious about enforcing the speed limit," said Sen. Vernon Ehglers. The Grand Rapids Republican led the fight ;to outlaw radar detectors. Sen. George Hart (D-Dearborn) condemned radar detectors as tools "for the white-collar law breaker - the legislators, the traveling salesmen ... Shame on them for buying that equipment for the purpose of breaking the law." Reagan threatens to tear down WASHINGTON - President Reagan promised quick action yesterday to prevent "further damage to our national security" from a sex and spy scandal in Moscow and suggested that the unfinished, $191 million U.S. Embassy there will be torn down if it cannot be protected from eavesdropping. He declared that the Soviets will not be allowed to move into their new embassy on a Washington hilltop until Americans occupy a new embassy in Moscow. The new U.S. facility under construction in Moscow is due for; completion in 1989, but there are reports it already is riddled with bugging devices. Pope speaks to Argentinians VIEDMA, Argentina - Pope John Paul II yesterday called for fairer distribution of Argentina's natural bounty, advised gauchos and farmworkers not to migrate to the cities and told Indians to defend their heritage. He also heard an outspoken local bishop imply this country's Roman Catholic establishment did not do enough to defend human rights during a 1976-1983 military regime that tortured and killed thousands of suspected opponents. In Viedma, on the northern edge of the vast patagonian scrubland; the pontiff encouraged development of the nearly empty region. "Take advantage of the natural resources of this region ... so as to achieve ever more human living conditions and populate more and more of this extensive area," he said from an outdoor platform surrounded by sagebrush near the airport. Cold cash keeps ex-cons out of prison, 'U' study says ANN ARBOR - Cold cash succeeds where gentle persuasion and hard lockups fail in keeping ex-convicts from returning to jail, a University of Michigan study found. David Rauma, a sociologist at the University, and Richard Berk, sociologist at the University of California-Santa Barbara, found a California program providing weekly payments to ex-offenders cut by 11 percent the number who returned to crime. "Newly released prisoners are strapped for money," Rauma and Berk said. "Getting a job is tough for them because ex-offenders have poor work histories, few marketable skills and are stigmatized. 4 I I Ir EXTRAS Snickering southerners send steer semen statute to Senate NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Tennesse House snickered and made. "moo" sounds over a bill to exampt bull semen from the state sales tax, but decided to approve it without too much discussion. Some representitives even wore stickers saying, "Don't Tax the Climax" as the house voted 94-0 Monday to sendthe bill to the Senate. Rep. Ruth Robinson was forced to bring her bill to the floor when several representatives objected to passing it on the consent calendar -, a listing of nills that are not considered controversial and are approved on one vote without individual discussion. "It seems there were some members who want to hear this bill discussed," Robinson said. Rep. Shelby Rhinehart was booed when he moved for an immediate' vote without discussion, but his motion prevailed and the bill was approved. Robinson, whose bill was on behalf of the Tennessee Farm Bureau, said it was intended to keep dairy and beef products fromm being tx twice.
