The football team had 18 violations of the National Collegiate Athletic Association codes including a "slush fund," to pay players and subsidize coaches who made loans to players. The violations occured between 1971 and 1979, but the charges were brought against the University by the NCAA last December. The university has decided not to appeal the two-year penalty, which begins in 1984 since the school has already signed NCAA con- tracts to have games televised this r year. - The Wildcat News Berkeley students study. chocolate While some students at the Univer- sity of California in Berkeley hit the books to study for final exams last mon- vard University last week gave preliminary approval for a special five- year medical program. The plan proposes an additional year of interning which is not included in traditional four-year medical school programs at most universities. The five-year program, entitled "The New Pathway," would decrease class size and give students a chance to work closely with faculty, use computers and do independent studies. THE PROPOSAL is a modified ver- sion of a plan proposed last year which would have pulled sophomore premeds at Harvard into medical school for a seven-year program. The seven-year proposal, which is similar to the Inteflex program at the University of Michigan, was criticized by several medical school professors. They said condensing medical school and undergraduate classes would unfairly rush students into the medical profession without a chance to explore other career options. The five-year plan is a com- promise, pulling 25 students from the 165 admitted to Harvard's medical school. Under the plan, students in the program would live with other medical students, but they would be enrolled in different classes. Medical school faculty support the plan because the smaller classes will foster more individual attention. The plan is scheduled to take effect in 1986. - The Harvard Crimson Florida practices party politics 'Student government members at the University of Florida last month voted 'Yellow-toxin' not bee exerement, govt. says WASHINGTON (AP) -The State De- partment yesterday dismissed as false the scientific speculation that the deadly "yellow rain" toxin the United States used as a weapon in Southeast Asia may be little more than excrement from bees. Alan Romberg, the department's deputy spokesman, referring to what he called "the great bee caper," said the evidence just doesn't hold together that this is the cause of yellow rain attacks. "The hypothesis that yellow rain - tricothecene mycotoxin - may be a natural phenomenom has in fact been exhaustively studied and subsequently rejected, by responsible and qualified scientists in and out of government," Romberg said. The United States blames yellow rain attacks for the deaths of thousands of people in Laos, Cambodia and Afghanistan. In the first place, Romberg said, one - sample drop of residue containing the deadly toxin weighed 300 milligrams and was "certainly more than a bee could drop." Secondly, he said that because Tricothecene mycotoxin in amounts sufficient to incapacitate or kill human beings is "certainly suficient to kill a bee ... a bee could not survive to excrete the toxin."
