THE BATTALII
Kerry
Continued from page 1
took a congratulatory call from Bush.
“You had an important victory tonight,” the
president told Kerry, adding that he looked for
ward to a “spirited fight.”
Hours earlier, Bush had dispatched Vice
President Dick Cheney to TV studios to criticize
the presumptive foe.
“He very clearly has over the years adopted a
series of positions that indicate a desire to cut the
defense budget, cut the intelligence budget, to
eliminate many major weapons programs,”
Cheney said of Kerry, a 19-year Senate veteran.
Kerry called Edwards, whose lone win before
Super Tuesday was South Carolina, “a great voice
for our party.” He commended another fallen rival,
Howard Dean, in an effort to unite the party.
Calling Kerry “my friend,” Edwards told sup
porters in Atlanta, “He’s been an extraordinary
advocate for causes that all of us believe in.”
The freshman senator from North Carolina
stopped just short of conceding, but two
Democratic officials said on condition of
anonymity that Edwards would step aside
Wednesday in Raleigh, N.C.
Kerry rolled up huge Super Tuesday triumphs
in California, New York, Ohio, Maryland,
Connecticut, Rhode Island, Minnesota and his
home state of Massachusetts, as well as a razor-
thin win in Georgia. Dean denied Kerry a sweep,
winning his home state of Vermont two weeks
after dropping out of the race.
In all, 10 states with a combined population of
94 million — one-third of the U.S. total — award
ed 1,151 delegates, more than half of the 2,162
needed to seize the nomination.
Kerry, a 60-year-old senator, had 1,039 dele
gates to Edwards’ 349. Dean had 182 and Al
Sharpton 22.
“The issue that drove me is getting rid of Bush,
and that led me to Kerry,” said Ron Debry, 47, of
suburban Cincinnati. “Maybe Edwards someday,
but I don’t think he’s ready yet.”
Exit polls showed Kerry dominated among
Democrats of all philosophies and all stripes. No
matter who they picked Tuesday, voters

eight in 10 voters said they would be satisfiedii
won the Democratic race.
And his support came from across
scape: from men and women, blacks, whites^
Hispanics, and voters of all age and incon
groups, according to exit polls conducted fori
Associated Press and TV networks by E
Media Research and Mitofsky International.
Edwards made U.S. trade agreements a cent
piece of his campaign, and exit polls show if
were sympathetic to his arguments: Some%
cent said trade takes jobs from their states.
But even among these voters, some six ii
voted for Kerry, double Edwards’ take.
Democratic interest groups, required to
independently of the Kerry camp, plan to soon
ads critical of Bush.
Kerry declined to talk about his advertisin|
other general election strategies, but said ben

“The president has an enormous lead. Hei<
extraordinary sums of money... and we’re
have to fight hard to raise money and compeii
Kerry told The Associated Press.
He said several of his former rivals
to help raise money.
In a preview of a potential general eleciii
fight, Kerry and Edwards took a Super Tuest
time-out in the Senate to vote for extending I
ban on military-style assault weapons.

Among those eliminated along the way:Sa

Moseley Braun, Sen. Joe Lieberman

Dean entered the year the undisputed front

that they eat and not write them
down. Other people may cheat
and not record everything that
they eat, causing significant
error in the measurement of
their diet. People also complete
questionnaires differently, so
there could be discrepancy in
the results of food frequency
questionnaires.
“Even though we eat the
same things, we report it differ
ently,” Carroll said.
Carroll said scientists sus
pect that fat intake may be
linked to breast cancer in
women. Studies have been
done showing that countries
with overall higher fat intake
have a higher occurrence of
breast cancer. No individual
study, however, has been able
to accurately prove this link.
Carroll said.
A study is currently being
done involving 60,000 women
to observe the difference in the
occurrence of breast cancer in
women with healthy diets and
women with typical high-fat
diets. Scientists are hoping to
find the link they have been
searching for between fat intake
and breast cancer, Carroll said.
“Even if the study is success
ful, difficulties in measuring diet
mean that we will not know
what components lead to the
decreased risk (of breast cancer
in women with healthy diets),”
Carroll said. “What component
of this diet is the one that is real
ly giving the effect?”
The government spends mil
lions of dollars conducting
research to find if there are links
between certain foods and can
cer, but the results of such
research programs are all sub
ject to the error involved
measuring diet and may not b
accurate, Carroll said.
Attendees said the lectim
was educational, concern:
research methods.
“Dr. Carroll demonstrate;
the importance of careful stmt
ies in order to reach
sions that can be substantial,
said A&M
Department Head
Longnecker. “(The)
naires (that scientists use
measure diet) may be very mis
leading (because) people do no
always report what really hap
pened or what they really did.
Michael Hall, an A&)
chemistry professor, said I
was surprised by what Carrol
had to say.
“We know less about dfl
and cancer than I thought«
did," Hall said.

U.S. Mint ships new nickel
WASHINGTON (AP) — Millions of shiny nick
els sporting their first new look in 66 years are being
shipped to the Federal Reserve, the supplier of the
nation’s cash, officials of the U.S Mint said Tuesday.
The new nickels — which honor the 1803
Louisiana Purchase on the back but retain
Thomas Jefferson on the front — should start
showing up in cash registers in several weeks.
Mint officials said.
A total of 180 million new nickels had been
sent to the Federal Reserve as of March 1, said
Mint spokeswoman Becky Bailey.
Another nickel honoring the 1804-1806 Lewis
and Clark expedition will be released in the fall.
The new commemorative-themed nickels, part
of the Mint’s new Westward Journey Nickel
Series, replace the image of Jefferson’s home,
Monticello, now on the back of the coins. The cur
rent design was introduced in 1938.
The back of the new nickels now headed®

America,” “Louisiana Purchase” and
There is an image of hands clasped in
— one with a military cuff to symbolize theU.S
government, and the other with an ornatebracelf

Above the clasped hands is a

those on Jefferson Peace Medals, which werepff

important leaders. Below the clasped handsarellt ^
