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 Associated Press
LOS ANGELES - "Philadelphia," the AIDS dra
ma starring Tom Hanks, remained No. 1 as Holly
wood enjoyed strong turnout at the box office de
spite a frigid winter in the East and an earthquake in
the West.
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.

Relations, with weekend gross, numbeiofl

Arby's

"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

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.
