I: Page8 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1981 State / National Heart compounds discovered in excessive drinkers United Press International DALLAS — A team of St. Louis doctors and researchers has disco vered compounds that may form in the hearts of people who con sume excessive amounts of alcohol and may, therefore, explain why large amounts of alcohol are toxic to the heart. Dr. Louis G. Lange, assistant professor of medicine at Washing ton University School of Medi cine, said at least 2 percent of the 10 million alcoholics in the coun try have overt heart disease, and many more have weakened hearts with a limited capacity to respond to exercise or stress. Burglars, bomb blow heist attempt United Press International MIDLAND — Like the daring duo of the 1969 movie “Butch Cas sidy and the Sundance Kid, inex perienced burglars apparently had trouble gauging how many ex plosives were needed to open the safe in a chain restaurant. In the popular western tale. Butch and Sundance dynamited a train’s safe into oblivion, causing a rain of wood and cash. A similar attempt by burglars early Monday — this time with plastic explosives — caused about $75,000 in dam ages to a Der Wienerschnitzel re staurant and left bits of cash strewn about the burned-out re staurant’s interior. Police said the burglars used as much as 10 times the amount of plastic explosive needed to open the safe. “They had no earthly idea how much (explosive) to use,” Police Lt. Earl Luckey said. “They prob ably hit the back door (after the explosion) and were happy to get away alive. They probably couldn’t hear you now if you talked to them. “The manager of the store thinks some (money) is missing, but 1 don’t know how he could know. The money is scattered around in little bits, he said. Luckey said there are no sus pects in the case. To go or not to go preppy is a question United Press International BATH, Mich. —The pressure to go preppy is one of the great dilemmas of teenage life today, said high school students who attended a psychology seminar. Preppiness was the main sub ject at the second annual seminar at Bath High School in Bath, Mich. Other sessions dealt with teen-parent communications, leg al rights, responsibilities and child abuse. The seminar was attended by more than 100 students from Michigan high schools and com munity colleges. “I dress preppy and I don’t care what you think of it,” one girl said. Another girl said: “I have a friend and all she wants to talk about is the latest fashions and alli gators and it makes me sick. ” Speedy trial lost, nude bathers free United Press International LOS ANGELES — Thirty-four people arrested for nude sunba thing at Malibu beaches last sum mer will not be tried because they were denied their right to a speedy trial. Superior Court Judge Florence S. Bernstein said Monday misde meanor trials must begin within 45 days of arraignment, and the judge said there was no evidence of unusual circumstances that could warrant a delay. The judge observed that Mali bu Municipal Court was “appa rently understaffed during the When Is Your Selling ^§§551^ No At All?

Lange said he and his col leagues have isolated and identi fied biochemical compounds formed in the heart when it is ex posed to amounts of alcohol typic ally consumed by social and heavy drinkers. "The alcohol metabolites we identified in heart muscle may SAFEWAY contribute to the development of alcohol-induced heart disease, ” he said. Lange said the compounds — called fatty acid ethyl esters — were found in the hearts of several people who died while intoxi cated. Although research has de termined the compounds injure the heart, he said it has yet to reveal why. “We don’t know exactly what the mechanism is yet, but we think these compounds may be in volved in the disease process,” he said. Discovering the role of t he fatty acid ethyl esters in heart disease could lead to the development of drugs that will slow it down or stop it, he said. In another report presented Monday, Louisiana State Univer sity scientists revealed success in lowering high blood pressure in children predisposed to develop the disorder. Gerald Berenson, director of UP$C TO 9 the Bogalusa (La.) Heart Study, said the pioneering program in volved school children in Frank- linton. La., and used a combina tion of diet, exercise and low-dose drug therapy to lower blood press ure levels. The AHA estimates that 35.5 million Americans have high blood pressure. Although researchers do not know what causes high blood pressure, recent work has estab lished that in some people the condition begins to “track” as ear ly as age 5, Berenson said. The LSU team spent four months surveying 1,602 school children in the Louisiana com munity for blood pressure. They then chose 100 youngsters whose blood pressure ranked in the top 10 percent to participate in the study. Half of the youngsters were allocated to a treatment group, which was encouraged to engage in hardy exercise and follow heal thy diets, particularly limiii| their salt intake. The childrti were also given low closes of sal- depleting and pressure regulator drugs. The remaining 50 childrei formed a control group. A seed control group of 50 children nil lower blood pressure levels wai also chosen. When research began in M the average reading in the treat ment group was 118 over 78, After six months, the blood pressureol children in the treatment group dropped an average of eight mil meters to levels lower than that (I the untreated control group.
