Page 4 The Battalion Wednesday, January 26,1! Low-level radiation experiments still conducted under guidelines The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Energy Department is still conducting more than 200 radiation experiments involving humans but is. following strict ethical pro cedures and gaining proper consent. Secretary Hazel O'Leary said Tuesday. Most of the experiments involve low-level trace doses of radiation under guidelines in effect at the department since 1991, she said. "As far as we have been able to ascertain, the de partment is not conducting any experiments that vio late medical, ethical standards or the Nuremberg codes," she told the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee. Following disclosure that numerous questionable radiation experiments had been conducted during the Cold War, several senators had expressed con cern some might be continuing. What assurance is there that there are not "rogue operators out there" who, despite stringent govern ment regulations and guidelines, still may have ex periments under way without proper patient con sent?, asked Sen. John Glenn, D-Ohio, the Senate panel's chairman. O'Leary, who concedes she may have opened a "Pandora's box" by pressing for a government-wide records search on past radiation testing on humans, said President Clinton soon will direct all federal agencies to immediately halt any experiments where consent might be in question. She later told reporters the directive was being issued, in part, to respond to a request for Glenn and not because of any evidence that proper con sent might not have been obtained in any continu ing tests. While providing no details, O'Leary said there are between 200 and 260 experiments involving hu man subjects being conducted by her department or by its contractors, mostly involving tracer doses. She estimated the department was spending about $50 million for the projects.

The Jonathan Demme-directed film, which also stars Denzel Washington, is Hollywood's first big- budget movie about AIDS. Its weekend gross was $8.8 million, just a few thousand dollars more than the Robin Williams comedy "Mrs. Doubtfire" earned. The total box office gross for last weekend was $62 million, compiared to $55 million for the same pe riod a year ago, according to John N. Krier, president of Exhibitor Relations Co. Inc. "It's good, everything considered," he said, not ing that several major movie houses throughout Los Angeles were closed because of earthquake damage. "All the weeks this year have been up," Krier said. One release debuted near the top: the Richard Gere-Sharon Stone melodrama "Intersection" nabbed third place with a $7.8 million weekend gross. The weekend's top films, according to Ed Relations, with weekend gross, numbeiofl American theater locations, average per i tal gross and number of weeks in release: 1.

Arby's Continued from Page 1 "We hope that other fast-food franchises will see that Arby's presents them with a competitive advantage," said Thomas Lauria, a spokesman for the Tobacco In stitute. "It remains to be seen if other chains want to cut themselves off from 30 percent of their customer bases." But, countered Arby's vice president for corporate communi cations Mark Stine: "All these restaurants are going to go smoke-free. It's inevitable." At a New York news confer ence Tuesday, New York Attor ney General G. Oliver Koppell called on other chains to follow Arby's suit. Morales hinted that announcements by other food chains may be imminent. "I have every confidence that we will see McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, Taco Bell (and) some of the other individuals ... in this industry making similar deci sions," Morales said. Windows Continued from Page 1 amined, and the recommenda tions were sent to Bill Mobley, chancellor of the University Sys tem, who made the final decision. "We selected them on the basis of esthetics, because the materials cost about the same," Godbie said. "Some people have been thinking that we selected them solely on the basis of maintenance, but that's not true." Godbie said the Physical Plant wanted to update the building's look. "We didn't want to turn back the clock to 1912," he said. However, many students and faculty feel the old windows had character and tradition and should not have been replaced. As part of the renovation pro ject, the outside face of the build ing was power-washed last se mester and the doors are being re finished in addition to the win dow replacement.
