Beer bottle
bonanza by
brothers
United Press International
DETROIT — By the time Rob
Stadnika and his brother finally got
around to taking their empty beer
containers back to the store, they
needed the help of more than a
dozen friends and a U-haul trailer.
“We have friends over quite a bit,
and they drink a little beer,” Stad
nika said, explaining how he and his
brother Greg managed to pile up
beer cans and bottles worth $315.50
in deposit refunds.
THE BATTALION Page 5
TUESDAY, JULY 24, 1979
Fellow party-goers helped the
pair down another case of beer dur
ing the clean-up before they set off
for the local party store, where they
collected the refunds.
There had been talk of using the
refund money for a house payment
but brothers said they’ll probably do
something more important with the
money.
“We’ll probably buy either a pool
table or a foosball game,” Greg said.
“And a little bit of beer.”

A&M chemist to test Chinese herbs
for cancer fighting properties

RTH OF FED
U.)
Cancer-fighting herbs used in
Chinese folk medicine might be in
United States labs for testing early
next year, says a Texas A&M Uni
versity chemist who spent six weeks
in China negotiating for the pro
posed collaborative project.
The Sino-American program,
which would introduce new anti
tumor compounds for testing in this
country and could result in an inter
national exchange of scientists, has
received tentative approval for offi
cials in the Chinese Academy of Sci
ence (Academia Sinica), Dr. S. L.
Lee said.
Lee will receive confirmation
next month from Chinese officials

I open land’
By ROY BRAGG
Battalion Staff
p- The Bryan City Council im-
| piemen ted open space land valua
tions for eligible tax owners this year
by defeating a resolution Monday
night that would have delayed im
plementation of the program until
next year.
The vote was tied 3-3. Council-
men Pies Turner, Joe Hanover and
John Mobley voted for the resolu
tion with Councilmen Peyton Wal
ler, Henry Seale and Wayne Gibson
voting against.
Mayor Richard Smith abstained
from the voting. Smith had earlier
excused himself from the vote in
6>ro l er to avoid a possih/e conflict of
interests. Smith said he owns land
that would be affected by the vote.
As a result of the vote, the resolu
tion failed and the exemptions were
okayed for this year.
The resolution to delay im
plementation was suggested by City
Attorney Charles Bluntzer, Smith
said, so the city would have time to
establish procedures to be used in
processing applications for the
exemptions.
The open space land valuation is
part of tax relief ammendment H.B.
1060 which was approved by the last
legislature. It allows owners of un
developed land to claim the most
beneficial valuation for tax pur-
I poses.
i ln other business, the council:
— awarded bids totaling
$40,002.33 for garbage truck con-
I * tainers and electrical department
equipment.
— held a public hearing on the
I city’s intention to drop the de-
| velopment of Northwest Side Park
from the Community Development
Program. The park, near the
Carver-Kemp School, was originally
planned to be established with land
donated to the city. The owner of
the land has since decided to with
draw the offer from the city.
on what would be one of the first
scientific exchanges between the
U.S. and the People’s Republic.
Under the proposed terms,
Chinese scientists would send ex
tracts of anti-tumor folk herbs to
Texas A&M where they will be frac-
tioned, or broken down into their
various elements, and analyzed to
determine which elements are the
best cancer-fighters. The National
Cancer Institute will operate a re
fined screening system to monitor
the research, Lee said.
Testing could produce new
weapons in the war against cancer
here, he said. Some of these plants,
native only to China, have been
seen by just a handful of western re
searchers.
Lee said the proposal would also
allow China to send scientists to this
country to this country for further
training in chemical and medical re
search aimed at improving technol
ogy that has lagged since the Cul
tural Revolution.
Lee spent six weeks meeting with
administrators and researchers from
the Institute of Botany, Academia
Sinica in Beijing (Peking) and
Guangzhou (Canton).
Use of the herbs over hundreds of
years and various success rates
among the most populous country
on Earth prompted some American
scientists to consider the Chinese a
source for cancer-fighting materials
not available in the United States,
Lee explained.
The herbs are widely used by the
paramedic “barefoot doctor” system
in China. Most of the plants, how-
