Page 10/The Battalion/Friday, April 8, 1983 Vasectomies, heart disease ‘not linked’ United Press International BOSTON — A two-part Brit ish study released Thursday re futed a claim made by previous researchers that vasectomies in crease the risk of heart disease in men. Doctors at the University of Oxford, England, studied 6,300 medical records and found men who had undergone a vasec tomy had no greater incidence of heart disease than men who had not been sterilized. “There was no evidence of an increased risk of cardiovascular disease,” the doctors wrote in the New England Journal of Medicine. One part of the study looked at 1,764 Scottish men who had the operation in which the tube that leads from the testes is se vered. It found that G’/z years after the operation the men had no more heart disease than men who had undergone other types of minor surgery. A Yale University Medical School researcher who worked with the doctors said the study laid to rest fears raised by a 1978 Science magazine article that re ported monkeys with vasecto mies had a greater risk of heart disease.

Rock ban outrages fans El United Press International WASHINGTON — Rock n’ roll fans, a top White House aide among them, are outraged at In terior Secretary James Watt’s banning of rock music by groups like the Beach Boys from Washington’s annual July 4 fes tivities. Watt took the action, he said, to strike a blow for “wholesome ness” at the annual festivities that attract hundreds of thousands to Washington’s Mall. Las Vegas entertainer Wayne Newton instead will headline this year's revelry. Although Watt did not men tion the Beach Boys by name, his action provoked objections from the group that got its start in the 1960s singing about surfing, California and “Good Vibra tions.” At a news conference in New Brunswick, Canada, where the Beach Boys were performing Wednesday night, group mem ber Mike Love said he was “a little bit tired of being branded as part of a rock group which is supposed to be associated with drugs and alcohol — it is totally false.” “The secretary and the Beach Boys agree on one thing, and that is wholsomeness should be a part of the July Fourth prog ram,” Love said in an interview on the ABC news show “Night- line.” Two disappointed fans were n Vice President George Bush and Deputy White House Chief of Staff Michael Deaver. “It’s an unfortunate action since my wife and kids and the entire neighborhood went to see them last year and had a won derful time,” said Deaver. “I think for a lot of people the Beach Boys are an American in stitution. Anyone who thinks they are hard rock would think Mantovani plays jazz.” Newton, who will donate his services like the rock groups be fore him, is a friend and political supporter of Reagan. The Beach Boys did a fundraising concert for Bush when he was running against Reagan in the 1980 COP primaries. “The vice president is a friend of the Beach Boys, and he likes them very much. They have been good friends to him,” said Bush spokeswoman Shirley Green. , A White House spokesman said there was no move to coun- - TP let) termand Watt’s action. I feco said he was stating his peno I view only and Green denied; r^' disagreement between and Watt. Watt complained to Washington Post about drug use, high alcolioi broken bottles, some injt people and some fights" concerts during the lastseis years. “The reason, wen eluded, was the rock la attracting the wrong etae and you couldn’t bring ii family, your children, dow the Mall,” he said. The Beach Boys’ lions representative issud statement saying, "The Bo Boys find it unbelievablei Watt feels they attract wrong element’ to their ti certs.” Thursday & Friday / TEXAS Happy Hour Specials 4 to 5 p.m. 25< Beer and Bar drinks 5 to 6 p.m. 50l Beer and Bar drinks 6 to 7 p.m. $ 1.00 Beer and Bar drinks $ 1.00 Cover Charge Post Oak Hal ******** ********* * ** V 4 CASSINO'S PIZZA ▼ y 4 CASSINO'S PIZZA ♦ $1 OFF ANY SMALL (12") 2-ITEM OR MORE PIZZA AT GASSING S PIZZA FREE DELIVERY CALL $2 OFF ANY LARGE (16") 2-ITEM OR MORE PIZZA AT GASSING S PIZZA FREE DELIVERY CALL * 4 GASSING’S * " z “ ♦ 696-0234 696-0234 4 Y VZZId *! ♦ ♦ VZZId S.0NISSV3 . 4 A ^ S.ONISSVO^ NOW OPEN TILL 1:00 A.M.
