i i i;: State / National THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1981 Page ' Nitro patch relieves angina it nton, v «i it j| cents - a custm e likely,| Merest, Juldrefujl knewsiU gotoM oiied®! days, Dei; United Press International GRAPEVINE — A small adhe sive patch filled with nitroglycerin and worn on the chest may help angina victims lead normal lives without debilitating chest pains, researchers said Tuesday. And a pharmaceutical company spokesman said that Transderm- Nitro, one of three patch systems approved by the Food and Drug Administration, should be avail able to the public early next year. More than 2 million Americans suffer from angina pectoris, chest pains caused by a restriction of the oxygen flow to the heart. Nitroglycerin, usually adminis tered by pills, has long been the primary treatment for the crip pling pain. But Dr. Jane Shaw, head of the ALZA Corp. research team that developed the Transderm-Nitro patch, said traditional methods of administering the substance are not precise. Because oral doses of nitrog lycerin are rapidly broken down in the body, a patient would have to take the drug every 30 minutes for it to be effective, she said. “The patch dosage form is a pre cise method of delivering nitrog lycerin to the bloodstream over 24 hours,” Shaw said. “It’s as simple as applying an adhesive bandage. Once it is in place it begins to deliver nitroglycerin at a precise rate.” The impermeable backing allows the patient to bathe or shower while getting the full benefit of the treatment, Shaw said. The semi-permeable layer con trols the rate at which the drug, usually 5 or 10 milligrams a day, enters the body through the skin. “There is no possibility for over dose of the patient,” she said. The 1-by-lVi inch patch consists of an impermeable backing, a drug reservoir, a semi-permeable membrane and an adhesive strip. Because the patch is applied once every 24 hours, researchers predicted patients would be more likely to comply with the therapy. .2? .9 TDC considers Ellington for possible prison site United Press International HOUSTON — The Texas Department of Corrections is studying the possibility of using Ellington Air Force Base and other surplus federal lands as state prisons, TDC official T. Louis Austin says. Officials toured Ellington Friday. “(But) we haven’t made any determination on any of the sites,” Austin said. However, the Justice De partment has approved Elling ton for use as an airport only, federal officials said. The cities of Houston and Pasadena are negotiating with the federal government for use of Ellington as a general aviation airport. Officials of the General Ser vices Administration Office in Fort Worth said there is no state surplus property available for prisons. And Carol Thornton, GSA spokeswoman, said her office has received no inquiries from the state as to the availabil ity of Ellington. But David Herndon, general counsel for Gov. Bill Clements, said the possibility of using Ellington and other surplus fed eral sites was first suggested to the state by the Justice Depart ment. “I can’t imagine why in the world we would be encouraged to look at these sites if they we ren’t available,” Herndon said. 82 BONANZA WIN $ 100 CASH!

PRICES ON THIS AD EFFECTIVE SEVEN DAYS DECEMBER 10 THRU 16, 1981 IN C.S./Btyan Judge to ruh on access to hearing United Press International TYLER — A federal judge is expected to rule within a week on a petition seeking to stop a state judge from barring the media from a preliminary civil suit hearing. U.S. District Judge William Steger will rule on briefs submit ted by attorneys representing the Lufkin Daily News and state Dis trict Judge Marcus Vascocu of Longview. The newspaper is seeking ac cess to a preliminary hearing of a civil suit between stockholders of a Lufkin bank. Attorney Jim George of Austin said Tuesday the newspaper’s attempts to get state courts to hear its arguments have been refused and that is why it has turned to the federal court. But Vascocu has said the feder al district court does not have jurisdiction to review final judg ments of state courts on the sub ject. George said Steger could order Vascocu to allow reporters for the newspaper access to the hearing or order the state judge to hold an evidentiary hearing at which the parties seeking to close the hear ing would have to prove they would lose a constitutional right unless the courtroom were closed. Another attorney for the news paper and its parent chain, Cox Enterprises lnc., said, “The issue is simply this: Does the public have tlje right to watcli the judicial system in action?” Attorney Roger Moss of Luflcin has said he believes Vascocu’s rul ing is the first ever in Texas court history to deny public access to a preliminary hearing in a civil case. Public access has been denied previously in preliminary hear ings for criminal cases. Judge vetos Dallas plan on busing United Press International DALLAS — A federal judge has rejected a Dallas Independent School District plan that would have allowed 8,561 black and His panic students in grades 4 through 8 to opt out of forced busing. Following an emergency closed-door session Monday, the school board issued a statement saying it was surprised and dis appointed with U.S. District Judge Barefoot Sanders’ ruling that the plan would lead to reseg regation of schools. The judge had first advanced the idea of allowing minority stu dents to opt out of court-ordered busing in August. But Monday he said he could not approve the plan and still comply with a 1978 appeals court ruling. “The theory and the practicali ties of the DISD neighborhood option plan collide with the com mand of the law to achieve max imum school desegregation,” he said in his written order. School board attorney Robert Thomas said the DISD’s desegre gation plan hinged on approval of the so-called Minority Neighbor hood Option Plan (MNOP). In August, Sanders suggested the possibility of allowing minor ities to withdraw voluntarily from busing. But in response to the DISD’s proposal, Sanders said Monday: “Any minority student who re turned to these schools would leave a desegregated classroom to enter a segregated one.” Also Monday, the plaintiffs in the case agreed to drop their de mand that three inner city high schools be closed.
