English Prof. Ralph Loomis, this year's recipient of the award, has served on many Univeristy committees, placing University interests at the top of his concerns. This is the second year the awards have been coordinated by the Rackham graduate school.

U' presents new research awards ,r , TUESDAY LUNCH FORUM -n at the INTERNATIONAL CENTER - 603 E. MADISON October 13at 12noon: "Paraguay: Inside Paraguay" Speaker: Lawrence Lee, University of Michigan Inteflex Medical Student for additional information -please call662-5529 By MELISSA RAMSDELL Two new faculty awards honoring the University's finest researchers will be presented for the first time today. Vice President for Research Linda Wilson created the awards in response to a suggestion from the Research Policies Committee to honor senior researchers with a long history of distinguished achievement, and newer research faculty with excellent career potential. The "University Research Scien- tist Award" will be presented to Linda Wotring, a research scientist with the College Of Pharmacy, for her cancer research. The award consisits of an honorary medlal and a $1000 gift. Partners Lloyd Johnston and Jerald Bachman of the Institute for Social Research will receive the $1500 "University Senior Research Scientist Lectureship Award" Ir their work on patterns of adolescent drug and alcohol use. This award also includes an invitation from the Wilson to give a lecture at a ceremony next month for newly promoted research sta ff. Johnston and Bachman wil jointly speak on "Drug Use in America: Differen aTypes of Change, Different Causes." "I think the initiation of this award program by Vice President Wilson is a good step toward provi- ding more recognition for research scientists in general on this campus," Wotring said. Johnston and Bachman have shared the directorship of the Youth and Social Issues Program of the Institute for Social Research for more than 20 years. They gathered information about the ways in which young people use drugs, alchohol, and cigarettes and how the use changes over the years. The study is conducted in nationwide survey of high school seniors, Bachman said. The re- searchers compare the results from each senior class with preceeding classes to see the ways in which use of the substances varies. In addition, the study follows the students into their post-high school experiences to explore the ways college, marriage and military service affect the use of drugs. "Flow dIrug use is changing is clearly of considerable interest to the country at large... there is strong evidence in recent years that young people are much more likely to abstain from or quit using drugs," Johnston said. The social indicator study has been used by the federal government for use in forming scientificp olicies and prevention approaches. In addition, the program has served as a model for national drug use studies in such countries-as Greece, Jamaica, and the Netherlands. Wotring researched the ways in which anti-cancer drugs used in chemotherapy kill human cells cusing harmful side-effects such as nausCa, hair loss, and decreased susceptibility to infections. Wotring serves on the scientific review committee which reviews proposals presented by scientists working with the Medical School's Cancer Center. She is also involved in obtaining funding for the center front the National Cancer Institute. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press reports Gays march on Washington Washington - Thousands of homosexual activists, led by AIDS victimsin wheelchairs and bearing signs carrying messages like "Thank God I'm Gay," marched yesterday to demand protection from discrimination and more federal money for AIDS research and treatment. U.S. Park Police said about 50,000 people had gathered by 1 p.m. for the march past the White House and rally near the Capitol. The crowd, carrying balloons and banners and wearing buttons and T-shirts, stretched along the mall for more than a dozen blocks. Eleanor Smeal, former president for the National Organization for Women told the crowd they numbered 500,000 and yelled, "Look at you!" "Feel the political power of the moment. Spread love and fight hate," she said. Iran missile hits Iraq capital Manama, Bahrain - Iraq resumed its aerial blitz of Iranian oil targets yesterday, severely damaging a Liberian-flagged supertanker. Two crewmen were reported killed and four others missing in the attack. An Iranian surface-to-surface missile exploded in Baghdad; the Iraqi capital, as Iran retaliated for the attack on tankers. iwo Exocet missiles from Iraqi jets crashed into the engine room of the 239,435-ton Rova, setting the ship ablaze, according to gulf-based shipping sources. It was one of three raids announced by Iraq against tankers along the Iranian coast since Saturday morning. Both Baghdad and Tehran reported that a long-range Iranian missile was fired into the Iraqi capital overnight but disagreed where it hit. Iran claimed the missile struck a major military garrison, while Iraq said it landed in a residential area, killing "numerous" civilians. No figures were given. UAW may agree on contract Chicago -- The United Auto Workers union yesterday began to clear the final obstacles to offering a three-year General Motor Corp. agreement for ratification by GM's 335,(X)0 active UAW workers. The union's 23- member executive board, made up of national union officers and the union's regional directors, was scheduled to vote last night on the GM pact, which was nearly identical to a Ford Motor Co. contract ratified Sept. 30. The executive board, which approved the Ford pact unanimously, was expected, to approve the GM agreement. Once they obtain executive board approval, UAW President Owen Bicher and Vice President Donald Ephlin can present the GM agreement to the bargaining council, which consists of leaders and delegates from (M's 150 UAW local unions. Jackson dismisses rumors Winterset, Iowa - Democratic presidential hopeful Jesse Jackson yesterday dismissed "professional guessers" who doubt the viability of his campaign and rejected speculation that his personal life is about to come under attack. "I sense victory," he insisted. On Jackson's second day as a formal candidate, the Des Moines Sunday Register reported that his campaign was being dogged "by reports that newspapers are about to break stories portraying him as a womanizer." Jackson dismissed those rumors. "You stay your course and not. dignify that which is irrelevant or not essential," Jackson said. "If' you confront it and dignify it, you give it meaning. Experience will teach you that people do not judge you on the home run you hit one day or the error you make the other day, they judge you by your cumulative score.' -i Sponsored by: The Ecumenical Campus Center and the International Center Lunch Available: $1.00 (students) $1.50 (others) -'" .s //1 TALK TALKn TALK!

EXTRAS Loch Nessie eludes searchers Drumnadrochit, Scotland - The biggest scientific search for the Loch Ness monster ended yesterday with one purported monster picture de- bunked, three sonar contacts showing something big in the murky waters and the elusive Nessie still a legend. The three-day expedition proved to be a mix of serious scientific in- vestigation along with the biggest media extravaganza ever to hit the tranquil shores of Loch Ness. About $1.8 million was spent on the expedition. The hunt ended up focusing on three sonar blips, beyond the strength of those given off by fish, in the middle of the 745-foot-deep loch. Video film taken by the team meanwhile showed that the famed "gargoyle head" photo of Nessie taken in 1975 by the Academy of Applied Sciences in Concord, N.H., was really a rotting tree stump about 80 feet below the surface.
