Hexachlorophene Use Restricted
By JEANNETTE HARTMAN
E. D. WILLIAMS
After the announcement of new test results on the side effects of hexachlorophene, the sale of products containing more than .75 per cent HCP (hexachlorophene) to the Food and Drug Administration announced Friday.
The announcement came after studies by Wintrop Laboratories, manufacturers of philoHex, showed that baby monkeys baten with a three per cent dose for 60 days developed brain lesions.
AFTER THE FDA's announcement, products containing more than 75 per cent HCP will be recalled by manufacturers, removed from drug store and will be sold by prescription only.
Last August, the deaths of 39 French babies were traced to a talcum powder accidentally ined with a six per cent dose of
Dou Flora, pharmacist at Rankin Drug Co., 1101 Massachusetts, said Monday that he would not do anything about the announcement until he heard from the companies themselves.
Bob Davis, manager of Raney
Sports, said that the announcement had not affected him at all because he had had no directive as yet from
the league.
He did mention that he had received letters from Bonnie and Jeffrey, saying that their products which contained HCP were below the safety limit.
A third Lawrence pharmacist, Kenn Lindenku, of Round Corner Drug Co., 801 Massachusetts, said he would not be affected by the new payment because he didn't sell products containing HCP.
A VARIETY OF products come in some cosmetics, vaginal spray, aerosol deodorants, toothpaste, hairspray and baby products also
By law a manufacturer must state whether the product contains HCP, but he is not required to state the percentage.
A certain amount of time will be given to the manufacturers to label products that will now be sold by prescription only.
Carlton Erickson, associate professor of pharmacology and toxicology, said the FDA would probably notify the manufacturer's letter whether their product was affected by the announcement.
All three Lawrence pharmacists said that the FDA's restriction was unnecessary.
"GIRLDEN REACT more intensely to drugs than adults do. Certainly something should be used." It is fine that PiroxibPhoXex has proven useful. It is ridiculous in the sale it by prescription only," said Flora.
Dr. Raymond Schwegler Jr., director of student health services, disagreed.
"If used by knowledgeable people it can be beneficial, but if it's turned loose on an open market to be marketed by mothers and grandparents it is good, a lot will be better, it could be dangerous." he said.
Lawrence Memorial Hospital stopped using HCP in their nursery in January when the first PDA warning came out, an ad encouraging parents to send Monday. Castille soap is used now when a soak is needed.
HOWEVER, THE spokesman said, HCP soap was still available for those nurses and physicians who wanted it.
scrubbing among patients, said Gaye Hill, emergency room nurse. Monday.
PRIOSHEN I IS still used at Watkins Hospital for washing hands. Schwegler said He is no longer more critical in babies than adults because babies are bathed and their skin is also more sensitive.
Dr. Schwegler said it was possible that if careful use of HCP was followed by careful rinsing it might still be useful.
HCP has been widely used in hospitals for more than 20 years because of its ability to control infectious infections in hospitals.
"It (HCP) has a residual antiseptic effect. In a bacterial
sense this is good. it leaves a barrier of sorts. If it's absorbed through the skin, it's bad because it leaves behind a film." he said.
There has been recent con-
formation that protection out-
breaks are more common in
hospital nurseries that stopped
routine HCP bathing newborns.
Schwiegel said that hospitals were now in a better position to treat staph infections than they were 20 years ago.
Erickson said that no one knew the exact mechanism of HCP or why it specifically affected the brain.
and Schwegler said that good techniques and careful hand care could prevent some of this infection.
BOTH THE Lawrence Memorial Hospital spokesman
Mathia also said that they expected a light turnout for the last registration outpost.
He said that in humans, very little toxicity had been proven with three per cent HCP soap, which he wanted to be as safe as possible.

Cuban Novels Discussed By California Professor
The years 1959 and 1960 were a time of great achievement for the novel, Menton said. The government asked the author to level of Cuban literature, the writers themselves became more interested in new forms of expression, and the decades of the 20th century resurgence for the novel, he said.
Menton spoke Monday in the Council Room of the Kansas Union
The four periods of the Cuban novels of Revolution show great transition in direct relation to the island's history, and by the Cuban government, according to Seymour Menton, professor of Spanish at the University of Havana.
His speech, entitled "The Four Stages of the Cuban Novels of the Revolution" covered the period from 1859 to the present. The period was divided into the years 1866-1970 and 1970 to the present.
"We don't expect too many. We figure everybody is registered that's going to register," he said.

increases may be attributed to the political and social events of the times in Cuba, he said.
"A new freedom reflected Cuba's assertion of independence from the Soviet Union." Menton said.
HOWEVER, the independence came to an abrupt end in 1988. Although political policy no longer saw a decline and much was suppressed, novels continued to be written at a rapid rate through 1970, he said. The year 1968 was a high point for Latin American writers as for those of Latin America.
Menton called this third phase,
lasting to 1970, a very rich period

Outpost registration is an opportunity made available by the company, that voters may have a chance to register somewhere other than at the polling place.
The books of the third period, Menton said, presented realistic and straightforward characters with nonescapist interpretations.
The second period was characterized by the existen-
tion of two figures, Menton said. The heroes strove to justify the revolution by showing the importance of the conservative governing bourgeois
According to Mathia, this will be the last outpost voter registration held in Douglas County.
The novels of 1971 were not nearly so bold as the ones of the previous period, he said. There was less use of the popular Cuban author than gap between the author and the average reader was narrowed.
Mathia said that voter registration totals were up to 30,000 for Douglas County. He also said that no more outpace

Bus Service to Continue For Added Night Safety
According to David Dillon, body president, the night service was initiated with student body president, of any consideration of profit.
Dillon said that the route lost a considerable amount of money, but that it was considered successful because it provided a more secure means for students to and from campus after dark.
The service comprises a single bus running a continuous route from Daisy Hill to 10:15 p.m. from Daisy Hill to Larkspur, Pearson Hall, across the campus past the Kansas Union Bridge and back to Daisy Hill. The Hall and back to Daisy Hill. The

John House, Lawrence special student and chairman of the Student Executive Committee, said the service was operated for safety, not money," and that the benefit of the service justified its cost.
Duane Ogle, president of the Lawrence Bus Company, estimated that only about 75 fares a night were collected.
