Lung cancer takes one fourth of all lives claimed by cancer
More than 25 percent of American cancer deaths in 1982, about 11,000, will be from lung cancer, the American Cancer Society predicted Monday in its annual publication, Cancer Facts and Figures.
Manop Huntrakoon, assistant professor of pathology at the University of Kansas Medical Center, said a contributing cause to the high rate of lung cancer deaths was that female smokers had increased greatly over the last 15 years and the number of male smokers was still increasing.
"By 1895 there is a good possibility that lung cancer in women will be the number one cause of cancer, taking the number of breast cancer." Huntrakoon said.
In Cancer Facts and Figures, the estimated number of cancer deaths in Kansas for 1982 will be 4,300.
The overall cancer death rates also appear to be increasing, according to the report, but that is because lung cancer is forcing them in that direction. When lung cancer is taken out of the overall cancer death rate has gone down.
The American Cancer Society estimates that 75 percent of all lung cancer deaths occur among cigarette smokers.
"Smoking is a well contributing factor to cancer and you are much better off if you quit smoking while you're young." Dollie Bittenden, president of the Douglas County American Cancer Society, said.
Bittencenbler also said she wanted people to be aware of the warning signals of cancer in general, so that patients can avoid such poisoning and prompt proper treatment.
She said the warning signals were a change in bowel or bladder habits, a sore that does not heal, unusual bleeding or discharge, thickening or a lump in the breast or elsewhere, indigestion or difficulty in swallowing, an obvious change in warts or moles and a nagging cough or hoarseness.
The Douglas County American Cancer Society also has an "i can cope" program to help cancer victims and others with their situation, Bittender said.
She said if anyone wanted to know more about the "I can cope" program they could attend the next meeting of the Cancer Society, March 1 at 7:30 in the Kansas Room at the Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
Bittenbender said, if there was enough interest, a Quit Smoking clinic also would be held in the spring for six to eight weeks.
The College Quiz Bow's semifinal and final rounds will be tonight in the Walnut Room at the Kansas Union.
College Quiz Bowl latest SUA activity
Chris Orlando, SUA indoor recreation director, said the quiz bowl, which started in 1970, has become a KU tradition and is unique in that the $2 entry fee has not changed since then.
Orlando said that the College Quiz Bowl was a single-elimination tournament open to all KU students. Each team is made up of five players, alternate, and every team may have no more than two graduate students.
The finals will have more questions than the other rounds. This year there are 32 teams entered, which is three less than last year. Orlando said that the reason for that was probably because of last year's early start in publicizing the event.
Tonight the SUA film series will present "La Chinoise" at 7:30 p.m. On Friday & Saturday, three films will be shown: "Dumbo," 3:30 p.m. and 7 p.m.; The "16th International Tourne of Animation," at 9:30
p. m.; and "Barbarella," at midnight.
On Sunday, "1800" will be shown at 2 p.m. and Monday, "Cul-De-Sac" will play at 7:30 p.m.
An all-campus tournament featuring 16 games will take place from Jan. 23-31 at the Kansas Union. Entry fees for the games range from $3 to $5, and entry forms may be purchased at the SUA office.
Top finishes in the tournament's events will win a spot on the KU team. The U-I-1 Regional International Tournament in Wichita, Feb. 19-21.
Irene Carr, program adviser for SUA, said that students should be thinking about spring break because they have been sensored trips are fast approaching.
Carr said that the trips include Daytona Beach, Ski Taos and Padre Island.
The Daytona Beach trip will cost $270 and will feature six nights of lodging at the Holiday Inn Boardwalk. Signup deadline is Feb. 8.

Student demand for short-term loans is down because students seem to be switching to guaranteed loans, Jerry said. A number of student financial aid, said yesterday.
Short-term loan demand drops
Short-term loan recipients for September through December 1981 numbered 1,706, compared to 2,443 for January, according to financial aid office figures.
"In the past, short-term loans have had heavy usage." Rogers said, "but this year it has been different."
Rogers said that normally short-term loans were substitutes for long-term guaranteed government loans that had not arrived by enrollment.
The loans, he said, could be given to undergraduates for up to $500, without a co-signer, at a 6 percent yearly interest rate from the agreed date of repayment. Delinquent loans are an annual interest rate of 14 percent.
Rogers said short-term loans accommodated students so they could enroll, but repayment of the loan was upon receipt of the guaranteed loan.
"If students have real problems with the repayment of their loans, they certainly need to come in and talk to us.
He said there have been problems in getting the repayment of short-term loans after the guaranteed loans were taken, and the students had already spent both loans.
