DEADLINE 3 p.m. day before publication BATTALION CLASSIFIED OFFICIAL NOTICE Associated Press SAN ANTONIO, Tex. — Nude mice, freaks of nature bom without hair or thymus glands, may help sci entists solve mysteries about lep rosy, Dr. David Drutzofthe Univer sity of Texas Health Science Center said. Although Norwegian scientist Dr. Armauer Hansen isolated the lep rosy bacteria 102 years ago, resear chers have had little luck studying the disease under laboratory condi tions. The bacilli apparently cannot be grown on artificial surfaces and host model animals tested so far have been disappointing. But Drutz said Tuesday, “The possibilities for research with the nude mouse are nothing less than astounding.” It is the first time such mice have been used in leprosy research in this country, he said. Several years ago scientists dis covered that leprosy bacilli injected into a mouse’s foot would grow slowly. However, the disease would not disseminate through the animal. Researchers found that mice with their thymus gland removed could produce the disseminated disease. But the animals died too early. More recently armadillos were found to be susceptible to leprosy, but only one or two innoculated ani mals out of 10 would develop wide spread infections. Now Drutz has suggested that a nude mouse with its low tolerance for disease might be an ideal leprosy research model. “If someone sneezes, the mice die,” Drutz said. Nude mice are raised in isolated, germ-free colonies. “As an animal model, the nude mouse looks enormously promis ing,” Dr. Drutz said. “It’s an im munological freak. It can’t tell self from non-self, and ordinarily that’s a lethal defect. Thus in the nude mouse, leprosy bacilli conceivably can grow and bloom unhampered. ’ THE GRADUATE COLLEGE Final Examination for the Doctoral Degree Name: Matthews, John Pickard Degree: Ph.D. in Education Dissertation.

COLLEGE STATION 9:00-5:30 MON.-SAT. continued from p. 1 Bentsen says substantial budget cuts in all areas of government, which he advocates, would not dam age attempts to reduce unemploy ment if the cuts are coupled with certain adjustments. “We have to get a handle on gov ernment spending,” he said. But Bentsen refused to say how much he wants cut or where it should be cut until President Ford submits his budget proposals in January. He said a key to fighting inflation would be reduced lending interest rates and that as president he would put pressure on the Federal Reserve Board to bring about lowered rates. Bentsen favors removal of price controls from oil and natural gas to assure producers that the return on their investment will be sufficient to make continued exploration for more supplies worthwhile. “Federal regulation has discour aged exploration for natural gas and encouraged waste of natural gas for 20 years,” he said. He believes the United States will never be able to eliminate all oil im ports, but that with increased domestic production and emphasis on energy sources other than oil, virtual energy independence can be established at some unspecified fu ture date. Use of coal should be increased, he said, and solar energy should eventually become a “cornerstone of our national energy policy.” Bentsen criticized what he said was the failure to present a united front with other oil consuming na tions in dealing with the Organiza tion of Petroleum Exporting Coun tries. “We have a big bargaining tool if we can get these consumer na tions ... to bargain together against OPEC countries,” he said- Bentsen said he has someone in mind for the position of secretary of state in any Bentsen administration, but he refused to name him. “Td be looking for one that would not be concentrating so much on just China and Russia,” he said. “My sec retary of state must possess greater expertise in economics, must place higher priority on openness in the process by which we develop foreign policy, and must be far less insistent on running the whole show. . . . “I’d be trying to trade more where I thought we’d get a quid pro quo. I think there’s been too much concern with coming home to some television extravaganza to try to display an aura of success without enough concern for the details of the trade.” Bentsen said he favors continued attempts to reach a strategic arms limitation accord with the Soviet Union, but he refused to specify what it should include, citing a lack of information from the executive branch on which to base an opinion.
