BOSTON (AP) — High levels of a
mysterious hormone have been
linked for the first time with longev
ity, and finding ways to increase this
natural chemical might someday be
a key to helping people live longer,
researchers say.
The hormone, produced by the
adrenal gland, is called dehydroe-
piandrosterone sulfate, or DHEAS.
No one knows precisely what it does,
although it’s the most abundant ster
oid hormone in humans.
Researchers at the University of
California at San Diego found that
older men who had high levels of the
hormone were far less likely to die,
especially of heart disease, than were
people with low levels of the sub
stance.
Dr. Elizabeth Barrett-Connor,
who directed the study said, “There
is no way to either raise or lower
DHEAS levels with medicine or be
havior, although it is conceivable
that we could develop a therapy to
alter levels of the hormone.”
In their report in Thursday’s New
England Journal of Medicine, the
researchers cautioned that DHEAS
could merely be a marker for some
other attribute that truly helps peo
ple survive longer.

“Both the Jewish people and the
Palestinian people have lost too
many sons and shed too much blood.
This must stop, and all attempts to
stop it must be encouraged.”
Aarvik noted it has been 50 years
since the peace prize was awarded to
Carl von Ossietzky, the German pac
ifist who prior to World War II
warned of the Nazi threat to democ
racy.
“His testimony was, however, also
his doom,” Aarvik said. “Ossietzky
did not survive his meeting with the
terrible regime which had estab
lished itself in the heart of Europe.
Today, 50 years later, the peace
prize is to be presented to one who
survived.
“From the abyss of the death
camps he has come . . . with a mes
sage of brotherhood and atone
ment.”
The Nobel prize winners were an
nounced in October, but the awards
are always on Dec. 10, the anniver
sary of the death in 1896 of Swedish
dynamite inventor and industrialist
Alfred Nobel, who established the
awards in his will.
The other Nobel prizes and their
winners were:
• For literature, Nigeria Wole
Soyinka, a playwright, poet and nov
elist, and the first African ever to re
ceive the prize.
• For medicine, American Stan
ley Cohen and Italian-American Rita
Levi-Montalcini for discoveries of
“growth factors” in human and ani
mal tissue.
• For physics. West German
Ernst Ruska for fundamental work
in electron optics and designing the
first electron microscope; and West
German Gerd Binnig and Heinrich
Rohrer, from Switzerland, for de
signing the scanning tunneling mi
croscope, which has made possible
the first pictures of individual atoms.
• For chemistry, Americans Dud
ley R. Herschbach and Yuan T. Lee,
and Canadian John C. Polanyi for
pioneering study of basic chemical
reactions.
• For economics, American
James McGill Buchanan for devel
opment of bases for the theory of
economical and political decision
making.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Teach
ing creationism alongside evolution
in public schools was attacked as an
attempt to “give God equal time” and
defended as true academic freedom
in a lively Supreme Court debate
Wednesday.
The court is to decide by July
whether lower courts were right in
striking down a Louisiana law re
quiring the teaching of evolution to
be “balanced” by creation-science.
The lower courts said the law vio
lates the constitutionally required se
paration of church and state by dis
guising religion as science.
But Atlanta lawyer Wendell Bird
defended the law, telling the justices,
“Creation-science is scientific
material, non-religious material.”
He said the law mainly promotes
“basic concepts of fairness and aca
demic freedom . . . and gives stu
dents all the scientific evidence.”
The Louisiana legislature en
acted the Balanced Treatment for
Creation-Science and Evolution-Sci
ence Act in 1981 but it was struck
down before ever being enforced.
Bird urged the justices to give
Louisiana officials thechancui
plain fully what creation sdeini
a trial.
“Creation-science is educai
woi t hwhile,” he said.
But Jay Topkis, a NewYoii
lawyer, called it "pseudo-sciM

Financial Aid

tion of scholarships and charitable
donations should speed the shift
away from those forms of aid and to
ward loans.
But students who are eligible for a
loan under the new, tougher
guidelines may find they’re paying
more for that loan than they would
have before tax reform.
The GSL program, like all federal
student loan programs, allows a stu
dent to defer repayment of the loan
and the interest that has built up un
til after graduation. The interest
payments are currently tax deduct
ible.
For example, a student who takes
out a $7,000 loan may have a loan
payment of $100 per month after
graduation. Part of the $1,200 the
student pays in a year is for accumu
lated interest, which is tax deduct
ible. The new tax code, however,
stipulates that loan interest is not tax
deductible, making loans more ex
pensive in the long run.
These changes, Benson says, can
fo
create a Catch-22 situation for the
student: Scholarship and jrall

Adams said, the special sessions
changed this. Now, the money left
over is not re-allocated, but goes
back into the State Treasury to feed
the deficit.
“The institution will receive the

was doubled, there was only $37,600
to distribute to students instead of
the planned $40,000. In addition,
A&M was not able to re-apply as in
past years to get leftover money.
The financial aid office at A&M
accepts student applications for the
ethnic grant program and submits
them to Austin. The state money is
matched dollar for dollar by A&M,
said Taft E. Benson, student finan
cial aid director.
When the $18,880 for fiscal 1987
Benson explained how A&M
made up for much of the drop in
state funds. When funds for one
program fall short, he says, financial
aid tries to fill in the gaps with funds
from other sources.
“If we are unable to get money
from one particular program, we
will try to meet that student’s need
with money left over from other
programs,” he said. “It’s just a
broad-based approach to meeting
the student’s need.”
Last year, 53 A&M students re

program, but the numberd
