made easier by the many translators in the crowd.
One of the translators, Joel White, Wichita senior, said he was happy to have the chance to trv out his classroom Russian.
if you can classroom learn.
"I can get the point across," he said, "but it's one thing to talk to people in class, and it's another to do this."
But as hard as they tried, the translators couldn't say everything in Russian, such as some of the dance steps, said Igor Ter-Ovanesyan, coach of the Soviet athletes.
WHILE THE TWO DANCE callers — one speaking English, the other Russian — gave some quick lessons in dancing the Virginia reel, dancers lined up in single rows, men facing women. They waited, wondering what to do, some tapping their feet nervously.
The Soviet coach said that a demonstration of the dance steps was more effective than any translation.
No sooner had he said it, than one group of dancers started swinging their partners, too anxious to await the callers' instructions.
The spontaneity caught on and within minutes, the entire crowd was dancing and clapping in time to the callers' commands of "bow to your partner, everybody forward and back, swing . . ."
"It always helps when people enjoy themselves," the Soviet coach said.
BUT AT THE MENTION OF competition, he let it be known why the Soviets had come to Kansas.
"We play tonight but work tomorrow," he said.
Many people remarked at how similar the Soviet visitors were to Americans.
BARTONS WERE WORKING AT Patsy Horner, who works for the KU Bureau of Child Research, said, "They're just folks, aren't they?"
But brand new blue jeans and cowboy shirts gave away some of the Soviet athletes' identities. Midway through the dance, they domed bandanas and straw cowboy hats given to them.
PERHAPS 7-YEAR-OLD SARAH Thomas best summed up the spirit of the evening when she showed a small pin in the shape of a bear that one of the athletes had given her.
"Its name is Misha," she said, "and I think it means something."
SCOTT SAID SHE THOUGHT doctors who specialized in treatments of cancer were oriented more toward advances in technology, which she sees as the opposite of looking at human needs.

"I'd like to see oncologists become more interested in the whole patient and reasons why they're susceptible to cancer," she said.
Stress
Experiments have shown that stress is not only emotionally harmful, but physically harmed as well, causing or contributing to problems such as heart disease, hypertension, migraines.
According to a report by Vernon Riley and Darrel Spackman, biochemists at the Pacific Northwest Research Foundation in Seattle, low-level tension — such as that experienced by busy college students and harbored executives — stimulates the release of a hormone that can destroy infection-fighting cells and worsen malignancies.
SPACKMAN, WHO ALSO WORKS with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in
Seattle, said that research that tied stress to cancer was a new field. He said that so far, experiments had been done only with laboratory animals, but that researchers thought the experiments' results could show the same problems in humans.
problems to humans.
"We believe the results certainly apply to the study of humans or we wouldn't be doing this," he said.
Spackman said, however, that some studies performed with laboratory animals, such as mice, were not applicable to humans because they subjected the animals to extreme conditions
The stress studies have been designed to test mild anxiety that would occur in everyday living, he said.
SPACKMAN SAID THAT WHEN humans were under stress, the hormone cortisol, a type of "flight or flight" steroid, was released. After long periods of stress, the hormone collects in the plasma, lessening the immunizing qualities of the lymphatic glands.
"In large quantities, stress has destructive effects," he said.
He said that stress could also contribute to metastasis, in which cells from a tumor break
away and spread to other parts of the body. The tumors grow faster and larger and are almost impossible to cure.
Spackman said that because the causes of cancer could be difficult to pinpoint, support for the stress-cancer relationship was not easy to gain.
DEAN KERKMAN, A CLINICAL psychologist at Watkins Memorial Hospital, said that the relationship between stress and physical diseases such as cancer was a "chicken and egg" problem. He said that determining whether the stress was first and contributed to the illness, or whether the illness was first, creating more stress, was extremely difficult.
Kerkman said that he treated psychophysiological problems such as migraines and ulcers, in which stress was the primary factor. He also noted that eating could not yet be considered evidence.
Kent Houston, KU professor of psychology, said that too many other factors could contribute to cancer to identify stress as a cause of cancer growth.
Senate
"The bottom line is that there is little at the present time one can say about the relationship between stress and cancer," he said.

moved to cut the proposed financing of Gay and Lesbian Services and to give the money to the Kansas Defender Project, whose financing had been approved by a bipartisan committee in bidder hearings earlier this month.
The finance committee had attached a stipulation to the budget bill being discussed that if a student moved to add money to the budget of a student group, he must make a deletion in the budget.
"AS A STUDENT, I don't get the impression that people think homosexuality is right. And as a body we have an obligation to oppose what is wrong." Munyan said.
Tom Berger, graduate student senator, said, 'What an irony to hear this last speech in a University atmosphere.
"Under Senate rules, any organized student group is eligible for financing. I hope we don't allow our emotions to guide us in considering this."
Bill Adams, graduate student senator, said, "If we're going to fund people by what we believe in, I would not support half the groups on this bill."
IN A ROLL CALL vote, 33 senators opposed the amendment to eliminate the financing of GLSOK, 11 supported it and two senators abstained.
Terry Frederick, Student Senate treasurer, then moved that the Senate eliminate the proposed allocation to GLSOK and give the money to Hilltop Child Development Center; 1314 Jayhawk Road.
"The group does provide a service," he said. "But your constituents really don't want to pay for GLSOK."
A MAJORITY of the senators again voted against the amendment.
Earlier, Dan Cunningham, Interbraterity Council senator, moved that the Senate eliminate a proposed $5,500 allocation for the Consumer Affairs director's salary and instead
allocate the money to the Kansas Defender Project and Hilltop.
Project and Hilltop The Kansas Defender Project sends KU law students to state and federal prisons in Kansas to give legal counsel to inmates, and Hilltop provides inexpensive child care for KU students and faculty.
and factually.
The finance committee had cut both groups' financing mainly because it said they did not serve enough students to warrant the money.
BUSY SAID, "I BELIEVE these organizations are worthwhile, but it's a play-off between the services these groups provide and the number of students they provide to."
Robert Walker, holdover senator, said, "It's
interesting that most of the supporters of the Defender Project are in or are going to enter KU law school.
"We need to decide whether we're going to stick to our rules and regs. We do not fund groups like the Defender Project that give academic credit.
THE CASTLE TEA ROOM
"The work on the committee should be respected. Let's make a decision based on the idea that Consumer Affairs will serve more students than the other groups, and not one based on vested interests and lobbying interests."
After lengthy debate, the senators voted against the amendment.
