Gene bomb enters anti-cancer arsenal WASHINGTON.Seientista have created a new weaPtin in the arms race against cancer--the gene bomb. lowever. if it is the cure they hope for, remains unclear. This b• of biotech wizardry is aimed at the heart of cancer cell. And if i works as planned, the bomb will explode'when the tumor reveals its true identity. It is described as a kind of genetic time bomb by developers, designed to kill cancer cells with pinpoint accuracy while sparing the normal healthy tissue around them. Ordinary chemotherapy uses a dangerous approach: Toxic medicine kills not only cancer cells but plenty of innocent bystanders, too. Many scientists have been trying to identify landmarks that make tumors unique. then tailor medicines that zero in on them. The gene bomb works by scanning the innermost workings of the renegade cancer cells looking for proteins that only they make. if the gene bomb is successful, it may work for viral diseases such Goetz victim unlikely to see $43 million jury award NEW YORK-Rticist remarks and smirking testimony that shooting four black youths , in 1984 could be viewed as a public service, have done in Bernard Goetz. On Tuesday, a jury awarded $43 million to Darrell Crtbey who was paralyzed by Goetz's final bullet on a subway train and now has what Cabey's family says is die mental capacity of an 8-'year-old. "Our breaks came when Bernie Goetz took the witness stand and told'people who he was, what he did and why he. Ott," Qtey's lawyer, Ronald Kuby, with tears in his eyes as the ; verdict was read. The jury of four blacks and two Hispanics deliberated for 4 - 1/2 hours before deciding unanimously that the white gunmen had acted recklessly and without justification in shooting Cabey. now 30. Goetz claimed that he opened fire because the youths were attempting to mug him. Kuby argued that Goetz is a racist who panicked.while the youths were penhandling for $5. \, The chances that Cabey will ever collect are highly unlikely.

That is not asking too much from the university. I feel that they cut enough costs already. Getting rid of grade reports is a cheap shot." -Justin Grimm, 06 M.E.T. "I also think that grades should be sent to students' homes. The university can afford to send out many student bills and find the money to do this, why can't they spend $0.32 to mak me my grades? If k's that much of an extra cost, raise my tuition $0.32." -Melissa Barger, 08 Biology "I personally feel that grades should be sent home. By doing this run around on grades, the university is treating us Ike little children. Who cares N our parents receive them before we do." -Demetrius Reeves, 02 Psychology/Education "Send my grades to my house! Some people need the hard copies for purposes of insurance, military, or otherwise. I wish this university would stop cutting student services." -Sharain Naylor, 08 English/Women's Studies "The university continually raises our tuition while at the same time giving us less. Besides other concerns like sccholarships, etc. the grade report in my ,maillxtk is a sign that I accomplished something the semester: - I don't want to buy a magazine subscription to get my grades. Don't hold my grades hostage." -Eiden Kitchen, 06 English "I believe that grades should be sent home. I pay about $15,000 for tuition and the least Penn-State can do is send my grades home." -Lourdes Tiraclo, 08 Political Science FINALS MADNESS SALE AT THE RUB DESK 15% OFF ALL SNACKS "I feel that the university is trying to save money by not mailing our grades home to us. The university should mail our grades becuase it is their duty to let us, as students, know how we did at the end of the semester. If the university wards to save money, then stop mailing the Behrend Quarterly or some other pamphlet that they send us." -Carrie Phillips, 04 Communications "Grades should be mailed home. By eliminating the cost of postage, the costs of establishing and maintaining an 800 line, operation of OASIS, and extra work to be done by registrars across the commonwealth to fulfill student requests for grades. In addition, the lack of consultation around the commonwealth by the registrar at University Park demonstrates insensitivity and lack of team work." "There is no excuse not to mai home our grades when we are spending upwards of $lO,OOO per year, the cost of a stamp is practically nothing. This form of disclosing our grades is a matter of common courtesy, something which this university has apparently forgotten." "The university realty blindsided the student body by this action. The students are going to have to reach real far to pull the knives out of their -backs, Find . :somewhere., /Asp Jo spe money." "My mother gets two satisfactions for spending money to send me to college: Graduation day and my report card. The one thing I work for in college is my grades and I'd much rather see a printed copy - I don't want to hear them over the phone." -Jennifer V.
