The socialists, who were the top vote-getting party in the Basque re gion in June’s general elections, said: “It is time to declare publicly that the organization which cur rently fcommits acts of violence has no relation with the one that fought the dictatorship.” The Basque Communist Party said, “To banish violence in the Basque region is a necessary premise to advancing in the conquest of democracy and na tional freedom.” It called on all political parties to condemn the kill ing. Just the facts Police said early Monday that de- ir for Safi pile tight controls and some road docks, no one had been arrested in onnection with the slaying in amplona, capital of Navarre Prov- nce. Sunday afternoon several mndred people carrying Spanish ed and gold flags staged a street narch in Pamplona to protest the ailing. They marched to the garri- on where Imaz’ body was lying in late. Basque socialists and communists oined other Spanish political forces condemning Basque separatist pierrillas for the assassination. Dur- ng the Franco dictatorship, many 1 Iasque nationalists and left wingers ympathized with ETA. But the Basque branch of the United Press International MADISON, Wis. — Susan Stam- berg, co-host of National Public Radio’s “All Things Considered,” feels ABC’s Barbara Walters and offrer news broadcasters should re port the news and forget the limelight. “Anonymity is as essential to a re porter as a pen and typewriter,” she said. T admire Barbara Walters, but I think she forgets that demarcation between the reporter and the celeb rity.’’ ARTS and CRAFTS FAIR Nov. 30 - Dec. 1 AL ING. nns* ng utter- •my H PIZZA — Our ingredients are made daily to insure quality and fresh ness. . . .

United Press International HOUSTON — Following future drug prescriptions may become a bit mbre complicated than just taking so many pills so many times a day. It could involve watching one’s watch. The same could apply to taking other kinds of treatment and possi bly even to visiting the doctor or hospital. Dr. Michael Smolensky and col leagues at the University of Texas have been studying the idea that medical care, especially drugs, can be more effective at one very spe cific time than at another because of body rhythms. Smolensky and Dr. John McGovern, also of Texas, have pub lished a book in the field entitled “Chronobiology in Allergy and Im munology. ” “What were trying to determine is the practical application of man’s time structure in solving clinical problems such as appropriately managing diseases with chemotherapy,” Smolensky said. “We’ve been taught that the body is relatively constant and what is generally unrecognized is the prac tical significance of biological rhythms, the time structure, of the body and its implication for diag nosis and treatment.” Smolensky said “wide variability” in response to drugs or other treat ment — depending on time of day, week or month — applies as much to males as to females, whose menstrual cycle is the most obvious example of chronobiology. He said the value of more care fully timed treatment, already shown in limited areas of research, is a two-pronged affair involving risks and benefits. Smolensky said Texas scientists have conducted studies on asthma tics, trying to determine the most effective times to give them so- called bronchial dilators, which guarantee free breathing for a period of time. “We’re starting to look at the pos sibility that there may be a need for an unequal dosage, unequal inter val, administration of drugs. In as thmatics, for example, airways tend to be in better shape during mid day. “The big push now is to use the drugs already available for treating cancer, for example, in a more effi cient manner,” he said. Other Texas tests will involve in ducing cancerous tumors in mice and experimenting with variable time, variable dosage, treatment with the goal of minimizing toxic side effects while maximizing bene fits of strong anti-cancer drugs. Aside from drug-timing, or chronopharmacology, Smolensky said other changes in health care de livery could arise from proving that patient’s symptoms and response to treatment vary according to time. Most doctors, for example, see patients only in the daytime and their physical conditions can change quite rapidly after the office closes at 5 or 6,” he said. I m not sure it would change his work cycle, but it may change how he operates with his patient as far as th^ patient s bringing more informa tion to the office, perhaps through self-observation or his own health screening. ” Embrey’s Jewelry We Specialize In Aggie Rings.
