Houston professor studying
use of smokeless tobacco
[ i
among Little League players
HOUSTON (AP) — A University
of Houston scientist is using a $1.6
million grant to study Little League
laseball players’ use of smokeless to-
iacco in hopes of fighting oral can-
:er.
Richard Evans, a psychology pro-
essorand principal investigator for
he National Cancer Institute-spon-
ored five-year project, estimated 10
lercent of all teen-agers chew or dip
obacco. That’s about the same per-
:entage as adult usage and is up 3 to
§ percent in the past six years.
“We have a chance now to stem
the tide, before this becomes estab
lished,” he said.
Evans said an earlier study by the
school showed 55 percent of high
school or junior high school students
who used the smokeless tobacco be
gan the practice before the age of
12.
Evans said he believes usage is
climbing because smokeless tobacco
is more easily concealed than ciga
rettes.
AUSTIN (AP) — A religious
group that wants to continue offer
ing Bible eburses at the University of
Texas has sued the university in fed
eral court.
The Biblical Studies Association,
which has sponsored the courses
through endowed chairs, asked in
the lawsuit filed last week that the
course arrangements be declared
constitutional.
The university does riot plan to
offer the courses after this semester
because Attorney General Jim Mat
tox ruled that the course arrange
ments violate the First Amendment
of the U.S. Constitution.
The practice of a state university
giving credit for courses in which in
structors are paid by a religious
group represents an “excessive en
tanglement” between church and
state, Mattox ruled.
Mattox said the university could
continue to offer the courses if they
are made regular university courses
with instructors selected and paid by
the university.
However, university officials said
they did not wish to take those steps.
Gary Thornton, an attorney rep
resenting the association, said, “Our
position is that the courses were not
unconstitutional to begin with.
“Still, the attorney general said
the problem could be solved
easily. ... So we don’t think com
plete cancellation of the courses is
justified,” he said.
The court could not force the uni
versity to continue the Bible courses,
but it could clarify the issues sur
rounding them, Thornton said.
