UPenn sees breakthrough
r-HAIL TO THE VICTORS
After approximately 20
years of work, Carl June
and his research team have
made a breakthrough in
T-cell immunotherapy, a
type of emerging cancer
treatment, The Daily Penn-
sylvanian reported Monday.
Nine out of 12 patients
who received the treatment
since 2011 have respond-
ed favorably to it. June
described the treatment as
a blood transfusion, except
with the patent's own blood,
which has been altered in
a lab. June told the Penn-
sylvanian that there has
not been a single precedent
where a treatment method
like this has gone from a
laboratory setting to treat-
ing actual patients, unless it
was done by a pharmaceuti-
cal company.
UCLA teaching assis-
tant makes learning musi-
cal
A UCLA teaching assis-
tant has blended science
with music to engage and
educate students in his
classes, The Daily Bruin
reported Monday.
Julio Rodriguez, a teach-
ing assistant studying phys-
ics at UCLA, came up with
the idea of using instru-
ments to demonstrate
concepts in his physics,
astronomy and engineering
classes during his first year
as a graduate student. While
tuning his violin one eve-
ning, Rodriguez found he
could show sound interfer-
ence by pluckingthe strings.
"With physics and all sci-
ences, we're basically trying
to discover the language of
the universe. It's already
written. It's already there,"
Rodriguez said. "But with
music, that's something that
comes from the creativity of
the human mind."

Voters to choose replacement for'
Jesse Jackson Jr. in dem. primary
Costs to maintain Los Angeles nuclear
power plant skyrocket after repairs
Campaign
dominated by
debate on gun
issues
CHICAGO (AP) - After a
fierce primary campaign domi-
nated by gun control, ethics and
economic woes, voters were
choosing the likely replacement
for Jesse Jackson Jr. on Tuesday,
three months after his legal trou-
bles and battle with depression
forced the son of the civil rights
leader to resign from Congress.
The Democratic front-run-
ners - former state Rep. Robin
Kelly, former U.S. Rep. Debbie
Halvorson and Chicago Alder-
man Anthony. Beale - made
Election Day stops through the
blistery winter weather at train
stations and restaurants in the
district, which spans Chicago's
South Side, south suburbs and
some rural areas.
They were among 14 Demo-
crats and four Republicans in the
special primary, but the Demo-
cratic winner was expected to
sail through the April 9 gen-
eral election because the area is
heavily Democratic.
Halvorson, who lost a pri-
mary challenge to Jackson last
year, has been targeted for her
position on gun control, which
became a key issue in the dis-
trict, parts of which have been
deeply affected by Chicago's gun
violence.
Independence USA, the super
PAC of New York City Mayor
Michael Bloomberg, poured
more than $2 million into the
race for anti-gun ads in support
of Kelly and against Halvorson, a
former state lawmaker and one-
term congresswoman. Kelly sup-
ports an assault-weapons ban,
but Halvorson does not.
After casting her ballot,
Halvorson warned that if the
ads are successful Bloomberg
will try to "buy seats" across the
country.
"We can'tletthathappen," she
said.
Beale also took issue with the
ads, saying people are "extreme-
lyupset" that someone from New
York is trying to tell people in
Illinois how to vote and predict-
ing that there will be a "back-
lash."
The guns issue dominated
candidate forums and television
ads and also appeared to have
resonated with voters.
