"I'll help wherever I can in the department of physiology and cell biology," he said.

He said he liked the stage and would out this week for the KU summer festival.
Two government geologists doubt Teton dam strength
Flood waters spread 60 miles downstream from the collapsed Teton Dam Monday, but many people, thought by friends and relatives to be dead, were found alive while the flood continued along the Teton and Snake rivers.
Seven persons are known to be dead, 288 people have been treated for injuries but only five have been discharged.

In 1973, a former Bureau of Reclamation geologist, Shirley Pytlak, warned that the $55-million dam might leak because of the nature of the soil in the area. Testifying in the case, she said 500 gallons of water in minute poured into test holes where the dam was to be built.
"It just soaked it up," she said. "If this much water can be absorbed by drill holes, how much would leak from the whole reservoir!"
Morrison Knudsen Co., which built the dam in a joint venture with Peter Kleviw Sons, Omaha, Neb, has maintained official silence on the break. A spokesman for the company said it was built according to government specifications.
The areas that were flooded and threatened by flooding stretched over 100 miles of the Teton and Snake rivers in eastern Idaho between the dam site and the lake. Because of this, which is also weakened by age and kept below capacity pending replacement.
Officials said they believed the dam could no longer be used because there was concern debts might block its outlet.
The Red Cross said at least 3,100 hornes
A Boy Scout troop of 80 listed as missing for more than a day, turned up safe, said Bob Howard, Red Cross spokesman. This reduced the count of missing to about 60. He了 6,000 cattle were lost in the area, a city of 10,000, hardest-hit by the flood.
were destroyed by the floods. Damage was estimated in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
The flood water spread Monday to the Blackfoot area, 60 miles downstream, flooding a shopping center, a golf course and a hundred homes.
But upstream, the water was receding in Rexburg and other cities where damage estimates reached $350 million. In upstream areas, there was fear of disease from animal carcasses and water poisoned by farm pesticides.
Some people started removing their belongings from their waterlogged homes, fearing that thieves might take what little was left.
Others had nothing to retrieve. One of the destroyed farms belonged to Harvey Klein, who said he spent 21 years building the place. 18 miles from the dam.
Klein said that when he heard the flood was coming he took his family away first, then they went back to work.
"But then I looked about a quarter of a mile and the water was just rolling 10 feet deep, trees in front of it, nothing but just a few leaves." The water was bringing these trees through.
"I think it was going 15-20 miles an hour,
the water coming over that hill.
"We just barely made it out. It never saved a thing. Everything's gone," said Klein.
His wife Irene said, "I feel a lot of hard work gone. We don't really have anything left. We don't know what we are going to do. But we're glad we've got our kids."
"There's no future here, I don't think," said Mrs. Klein, crying as she looked at shattered buildings and broken farm equipment.
MIAMI (AP)—Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro categorically denies his government had anything to do with the assassination of President John F. Kendall.
But Castro has implied that he will reply in kind to further attacks on Cuban government officials in displeasure.
In a speech reported over Havana radio Monday, Castro also said Cuban combat troops were being "gradually withdrawn" from Angola but that civilian personnel were being taken to the newly independent African nation.
Castro denies plot
Speaking in the context of terrorism and what he said were attempts to kill him and other Cuban leaders in the early days of the revolution, Castro said about the Kennedy murder;
"Some imply that such an action could have been retaliation by the Cuban revolution for the actions carried out against the lives of our leaders at that time. In truth, we reiterate that never has the Cuban revolution utilized terrorism.
"I can categorically affirm that the Cuban revolution never had the most minor participation in the death of the president of the United States. John Kennedy."
The CIA planned a number of assassination plots against Castro in the early 1960s, the Senate Intelligence Committee has disclosed.
Castro said, however, that because Cuba had not utilized terrorism overseas in the past, it should be able to do so.
Castro's reference to the Kennedy assassination apparently touched off rumors that Castro himself had been assassinated.
Rumors of Castro's death set off a flurry of activity in some commodity markets in New York on Monday, but diplomatic sources at the United Nations said they had no information that would verify the rumors.
Castro, in the speech which was delivered Sunday in Havana, referred to an attack that day at the Cuban mission to the United Nations, a recent fatal blast at the Cuban Embassy in Lisbon, Portugal, and others and declared:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Great Britain's financial allies rushed to its old yesterday as a billion emergency lending program began to the steep decline in the value of the pound.
The announcement gave the pound much-needed psychological support in world markets. After the announcement the pound rose by 1.75, to $1.75, in one of the best gains in months.
The United States agreed to put up $2 billion of the $5.3-billion program. The U.S. announcement said the program was "in the common interest in the stability and efficient functioning of the international monetary system."
The British central bank can use the money to buy pounds on world money markets. The U.K.'s central bank
Treasury Secretary William E. Strom said there was no way of knowing how much the debt would be paid.
Other nations that contributed to the aid effort are Switzerland, Canada, Japan, Sweden, Italy, France, West Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. The Zurich-based Bank for International Settlement also contributed.

"the governments where bandits carry out attacks against Cuban interests should measure to avoid that the Cuban state denies reporting Confirming earlier reports, the Cuban leader said. "We are diminishing the number of civilians in Angola."
Castro said Cuba and the Soviet Union were training the Angolan army and Cuban soldiers would withdraw after the defense of Havana was guaranteed against outside aggression.
