"About the only thing Acyclovir does is
reduce the amount of time the sores are
present. None of these drugs prevent recur
rences. You can't eliminate latency," Doug
herty said.
He explained that the body has a natural
immunity to the virus. A vaccine would only
add to the existing immunity.
"The common cold sore is a herpes infec
tion. In a sense that is a natural immuniza
tion. Tricky thing about this virus is that it
comes out in the presence of active immunity.
It's tricked your immune system," he said.
Despite the skepticism, however, Merck,
Sharp and Dohme Research Laboratories of
West Point, Pa., have developed a vaccine
consisting of the outer protein shell of the
herpes organism. A spokesman for the labo
ratory said that a part in the protein triggers
an antibody response to combat the invading
virus.
Later this month, the vaccine will be ad
ministered to 500 volunteers at the Seattle,
Washington Herpes Research Clinic. The
spokesman said the volunteers are consid
ered highly susceptible to contracting the
virus because they are spouses of herpes
victims.
Research at Merck, Sharp and Dohme, the
spokesman said, began 10 years ago, focusing
on the link between herpes and cervical
cancer. Similarly, Acyclovir was developed
out of the need to protect cancer and organ
transplant patients. The special drugs these
patients require completely compromise the
body's immune system creating a haven for
the virus. At least 5,000 such immuno-compro
mise patients die each year as a result.
Burroughs Wellcome does not claim the
drug as a cure. It is highly effective in
keeping the virus in remission or a latent

, About the capsules being marketed by
Herpend, Kieth said, "They're violating FDA
and patent laws but we will not exercise any
legal activity until we have developed our
drug."
Kieth said the $16.95 and $2O price tags for
Herpend capsules and other BHT drugs "are
a rip off." He said BHT is relatively inexpen
sive to produce and can be sold for $2 or $3.
"Besides, all the evidence shows that oral
forms of BHT have no effect," he said.
Efforts to reach Herpend, located in resi
dential district of San Francisco Calif., were
inconclusive.
Meanwhile researchers at the University of
Helsinki, Finland, trying to develop a male
contraceptive have discovered that gossypol,
a cotton seed oil extract, is effective in
inhibiting herpes simplex virus type IL
However funding for the research by the
U.S. Agency for International Development
was terminated in April 1981.
"We were looking at gossypol as a spermi
cide for use in foams and gels," said agency
medical officer Jim
,Shelton. He said that
although the agency was not primarily inter
ested in gossypol as a herpes treatment, "it is
not uncommon to test these things against the
variety of organisms."
Shelton said the research results are incon
clusive on both applications of gossypol.
"People are not as excited about gossypol as
a treatment for herpes as they were," he said.
While the agency cut its funding of the
research, the Ford Foundation is still com
mitted to another 18 months and a total of

funding was for the drug's application as a

ment over gossypol has subsided though
research is still in the test tube or "in vitro"
stage. •
While drug concerns and university labs
are running the chemical race, a State Col
lege nutritionist, Lorrie Kernshaw; is treating
groups of 10 to 12 herpes victims with a diet
plan containing food virussides.
"One of my clients came in with herpes and
wanted to know if the there was anything I
could do about it. So I said, 'Let's give it a
shot,' " said Kernshaw, whose office is at 1125
S. Atherton St.
"I knew it was a virus and I knew that
lycine was already in the diet plan. So I gave
them a whole diet plan to follow in which I
implemented other food virussides," she said.
Kernshaw, a University medical dietician
and nutrition graduate, worked for 10 years
as a nurse and two years in understudy of
preventivp medicine. She said the diet worked
very well and kept the virus in remission, for
about a year. This is when she began a study
of the effects of certain diets on.herpes using
about 40 of her regular clients. he said she
needs between 50 and 100 volunteers for a
more meaningful study. •
The problem with diet therapy, she ex
plained, is that the patient has to stay with the
plan, which may mean a complete change in
lifetime eating habits.
With Kernshaw's nutrition therapy, BHT
and acyclovir, the outlook for controlling the
virus is less bleak. Once , herpes invades the
body, it remains permanently and when it
goes into latency it is virtually inacessible.
Vaccines being tested by Merck, Sharp and
Dohme will be effective only in those who do
not yet have the virus which, perhaps.in the
future, may mean children.

Cagers face St. Bonaventure
Penn State
By TONY SMITH
Collegian Sports Writer
January. Often associated with
snow, cold, and wind not to
mention the beginning of the new
year.
It is also associated with confer
ence play in collegiate basketball.
Many conference teams play each
other in January, and the Atlantic
10 Conference is no exception.
The men's basketball team (8-
4), coming off of an 84-67 win over
Atlantic 10 opponent George
Washington, plays another confer
ence opponent, St. Bonaventure at
1:30 tomorrow afternoon.
In fact, the Lions play seven
conference games this month, in
cluding one at Duquesne Monday
night and a home game against
West Virginia on Thursday.
With respect to the league stand
ings, Penn State has gotten off to a
good start. They are 2-0, including
an impressive 78-69 defeat of St.
Joseph's on Dec. 14.
Before the George- Washington
game, however, the Lions were
not in the best of shape. They had
lost three of their last four games,
including a 22-point loss to the
Florida Gators.
But now the 'Lions are back to
winning ways. Or at least that is
what Penn State Coach Dick Hart
er would like to think after Tues
day night's victory over George
Washington.
"It's the best we've looked since
the St. Joe's game," Harter said.
"We were in control of the
(George Washington) game. It
was one of those nice games to
coach where it seemed like no
matter what you did, you stayed
ahead by a little bit."
George Washington (5-4), led by
freshman Troy Webster, is a team
with a lot of talent, but not a lot of
experience. St. Bonaventure has
slightly more' experience with four
seniors and three juniors.
The Bonnies were 6-3 before
Monday night's game against Da
vis & Elkins, and Harter expects
them to give the Lions more of a
Allen outstanding
offensive rookie
LOS ANGELES (AP) Marcus
Allen heard the talk that he
wouldn't be as effective in the
National Football League as he
was as a collegian at Southern Cal.
It didn't bother him. Fact is, it
fired him up.
"I never had any doubts," said
the sensational rookie running
back this week. "If anything, I
think it , gave me more incentive to
do well. I was confident. I knew I
could play."
So did the Los Angeles Raiders,
who selected him in the first round
of last spring's NFL draft after he
won the Heisman Trophy as col
lege football's outstanding per
former in 1981.
Although a lot of so-called ex
perts didn't think so at the time,
that pick turned out to be a stroke
of genius.
Allen, only the third running
back ( behind Atlanta's Gerald
Riggs and Minnesota's Darrin
Nelson) and 10th player taken
overall in the draft, was a unani
mous selection as The Associated
Press' outstanding offensive rook
ie, it was announced yesterday.
Considering Allen was third in
the NFL's Most Valuable Player
voting and was the only first-year
performer to be named as an All-
Pro, his being picked as the top
rookie on offense was a foregone
conclusion.-
- _
"It's one of your personal goals
at the beginning of the year," said
Allen of his latest award. "But
quite frankly, I forgot all about
personal goals. To be honest, I just
wanted to come in and start, that
was my No. 1 goal.
"I was more concerned with
helping the team win. Not to be
little the award, of course, but it's
more important to hafie the re
spect and admiration of your tea
mmates.
"I've been getting a lot of the
credit, which most running backs
do. When you look at the job I've
done, a lot of credit should go to
the offensive line, the receivers
and the blocking backs."
Thanks in great part to Allen,
who many thought wouldn't be
fast enough to be a star in the
NFL, the Raiders posted an 8-1
looks to keep perfect conference slate
battle than George Washington
did.
"St. Bonaventure is a better
team," Harter said. "And certain
ly at their best they're going to
really play."
One thing the Lions will have
going for them is depth. Although
Mike Lang, Dick Mumma, David
Griffin, Alex Agudio and Jim For
jan started Tuesday night, Harter
has nine or 10' people who can be
either start or come off the bench
without hurting the team.
Against George Washington, the
players on the bench accounted for
46 of the Lions' 84 points, led by
Rich Fetter with 18.
"I was very happy with Rich
Fetter," Harter said. "Other than
the St. Joe's game, I'd say it was
the best game he's played. I was
very happy with Dwight Gibson
and Craig Collins; I thought they
played very good defense. And
Terry Graves did an awful lot of
nice things."
Graves, who came off the bench
to contribute nine points and 10
rebounds in Tuesday's game, com
mented on the Lions' depth.
"Everybody on our bench is
very good," the 6-7 freshman for
ward said. "They just have to get
a chance to get in the game and ,
prove it. The more time you get,
the better you become."
CAGER CORNER: Forward
Tom McCluskey, who reinjured
his right knee during Christmas
break, could be out of action for
about three weeks, according to
Harter . . . Tuesday night's game
marked the first time that fresh
man Matt Moser has gotten into
the scoring column for the Lions.
Moser, a 6-8 center, hit two free
throws with 28 seconds remaining.
St. Bonaventure will be playing
in its first Atlantic 10 Conference
game tomorrow . . . The Lions and
Bonnies didn't play each other
prior to 1980, when St. Bonaven
ture topped Penn State, 89-75 . :
Last year, the Lions beat the Bon

record during this strike-inter
rupted season, best in the. Amer
ican Football Conference.
They will have the home-field
advantage as long as they stay
alive in the playoffs. Their first
round game at the Los Angeles
Coliseum will be played this Satur
day against the Cleveland Browns,
who were 4-5 during the regular
season.
Allen finished as the NFL's lead
ing scorer with 14 touchdowns for
84 points. He was the first non
kicking rookie to lead the league in
scoring since Gale Sayers accom
plished the feat with 22 touch
downs in 1965.
Allen, a 6-foot-2, 210-pounder
who set an NCAA record by rush
ing for 2,342 yards at Southern Cal
in 1981, finished fourth in the NFL
in rushing this season with 697
yards on 160 carries. Eleven of his
touchdowns came on the ground.
He also had 38 receptions for 401
yards and three TDs.
Had the season gone the normal
16 games, he almost certainly
would have rushed for more than
1,000 yards and probably would
have had over 60 receptions.
"There is no question that God
blessed us by giving us Marcus
Allen," said Coach Tom Flores of
the Raiders. "Marcus is best de
scribed as a winner. He has added
to the quality of our team and
organization with his multitude of
talents and unselfish attitude."
Penn State's Rich Fetter (44), and teammates Dwight Gibson (left), Terry
Graves (center), and Wally Choice (22) go up for the rebound as George
Washington guard Troy Webster falls to the floor. The Lions downed George
Washington 84.67 Tuesday night, and hope to do the same against Atlantic 10
foe, St. Bonaventure at 1:30 tomorrow afternoon at Rec Hall.

Battered grapplers
face No. 2 squad
By ANDRIJA SILICH
Collegian Staff Writer
It would take a strong perfor
mance for the wrestling team to
defeat second-ranked lowa State,
but it will take something short of
a miracle for the battered and
bruised Lion squad to upset the
Cyclones who are now 6-0.
'Penn State Coach Rich Lorenzo
and his squad will be hoping for
such a miracle when the Cyclones
invade Rec Hall at 8 tonight.
lowa State was ranked second in
the country in the pre-season polls,
and has retained that ranking
through the first five weeks of the
season. But Lorenzo feels the sec
ond-place ranking may not be
praise enough for Coach Harold
Nichols and his Cyclone team.
Now in his 30th year at lowa State,
Nichols owns a career record of
452-75-16 and has coached six na
tional championship teams.
"lowa State is just plain awe
some," Lorenzo said. "They are
one of the best teams in the coun
try. They have experience, proven
veterans and will be legitimate
contenders for the national
championship.
"They have the potential to be
the best dual match team in the
country," he said. They are the
best balanced team we've faced
that have so much quality."
The key to their success is that
they are a very experienced team,
and their wrestlers are not simply
All-Americans but they are sea
soned All-Americans.
"They have no youngsters," Lo
renzo said, "they are all pretty
seasoned and have been around
the game for a great while,."
Earlier this season the top
ranked lowa Hawks came to Rec
Hall and handed the Lions their
first loss 34-9, And Lorenzo feels
the lowa State team will be just as
strong as the Hawks were.
"They are just as strong as
lowa's team if not stronger," Lo
renzo said, "and they have as
many All-Americans if not more,
but they have n - o recent
before finally subduing the Lady
Stags with a 19-0 run midway
through the second half.
With the score 45-35, Head Coach
Rene Portland took out her starters
because according to her, they
weren't doing anything. With her
substitutes in, Fairfield climbed
back into the game at 55-52. Port
land reinserted her starters who
responded with a 19-0 run and held
the Lady Stags scoreless for seven
minutes. The Lady Lions went on to
win 80-57.
"I think the kids were emba
rassed last night," Foley said.
"They, didn't play as well as they
usualy . do. However, they did play
defense when they had to."
The past few games Herbert and
Cheryl Ellison have been carrying
the offensive load for the Lady Li
ons. On the other hand, Louise
Leimkuhler, Carol Walderman, and
Annie Troyan have been in horrid
shooting slump. In the last game

championships."
At the time of the lowa loss the
Lions were at full strength, but
going into the lowa State match
they have several key injuries.
At 118 pounds, possibly the only
weight class in which the Lions
might be favored, Carl DeStefanis
who is undefeated in dual matches
will take on Rick Bartolo (0-1).
At 126 pounds Penn State's All-
American Scott Lynch will sit out
with a strained muscle in his rib
cage, so Scott Webster will face
the Cyclone's Kevin Darkus who
was the runner-up at nationals last
year and is 16-1 this season.
lowa State's Joe Gibbons, per
haps their best wrestler is injured
and will not make the trip. In
stead, Stewart Carter (13-3) will
try to handle Penn State's Bill
Marino.
Lion Co-Captain Bob Bury will
try to hand Randy Conrad (13-0)
his first loss of the season in the
142-pound match.
Although each Penn State wres
tler will have his hands full, proba
bly the biggest challenge will be at
150 pounds, where Lion Eric
Childs will mix it up with Nate
Carr. Carr, a product of Erie, Pa.
is a two-time national champion,
and holds a perfect 16-0 record this
year.
"(Carr) is one of the toughest
I've seen in a long time," Lorenzo
said. "He's very explosive and
tenacious."
At 158 pounds Penn State's
promising freshman greg Elinsky
has undergone knee surgery to
repair torn cartlidge in his left
knee. He will be lost to the Lions
for the remainder of the season
and will be redshirted. As a result,
the Lions will wrestle either Chris
Bevilacqua who is coming off of a
knee injury or Jim Clauss, against
Cyclone Murray Crews who is 1-0-1
this season.
Lion sophomore Eric Brugel
(167), who seems to be gaining
more and more self confidence as
the season goes on, will face Jim
Lord (8-4).

with the Lady Stags they shot a
combined 9 for 32, which comes out
to a measly 28 percent.
"Everybody goes through
slumps," Foley said. "I'm not wor
ried about these three at all, be
cause they are veteran ball players.
In Carol's case, the last three
games they were overplaying her
defensively. In the first two games,
they were playing a diamond and
one defense on her and last night
they were playing a triangle and
two. Carol just gave herself up."
Portland's and Foley's main goal
for tomorrow night's match is to
play a full game of good basketball
and to get Leimkuhler and Walder
man back on the shooting track.
"We're just driving for 40 minutes
of solid basketball," Foley said.
Later on this year, the Lady Lions
have games against nationaly
ranked Tennessee, South Carolina,
Cheyney, and Rutgers.
