Lions clubs give funds for eye research
By DAN HOWELL Staff Reporter
Officials of Kansas Lions clubs will present a $50,000 gift to the University of Kansas Medical Center Saturday to begin underwriting an endowed position in eye research, the Med Center announced Friday.
Staff Reporter
Theodore Lawwill, chairman of the ophthalmology department at the Med Center, said the Lions Eye Research Professorship would need an endowment of about $1 million to be completed in about four years.
"The idea is to bring an outstanding person to KU." Lawwill said.
WHEN ENDOWMENT IS adequate, Lawwill said, about 70 percent of the investment income will support the salary of the research professor. About 30 percent will help pay for research expenses including equipment, supplies and salaries of assisting personnel, who often have research grants of their own.
A committee of members of the ophthalmology department, representatives of Lions club throughout the state and Med Center officials will select the research professor, Lawwill said. The professor does not but necessarily, will not be from KU.
The funds, to be presented in ceremonies at the Med Center, will go into accounts of the Kansas University Endowment Association and the Investment Association will invest the money.
tributed about $700,000 during the last four years. Some of the money donated last year bought a $94,000 laser used in cataract surgery.
FRANK PIEPENBRING, PAST president of the Kansas Lions Sight Foundation Inc., said the endowment drive marked a new phase in the group's support of eye research at KU, which began in the late 1960s.
"That's the only way to cure eye problems — research." he said.
Previous Lions' gifts totaling more than $1 million have supported other research and service efforts and equipment purchases, Piepenbring said.

Lawill said that the Lions' contributions had helped the KU ophthalmology department to gain national prominence. An effort by the department will ensure the department's good reputation.
LAWWILL SAID THAT the ophthalmology department also had received an unrestricted grant of $2,000 from Research Funds, a New York philanthropic foundation
The foundation supports work at 49 university departments and helps represent the needs of eye researchers to Congress, he said.
Lawill said that the KU ophthalmology department was known best for its work in repairing light damage to the retina, visual processing of light stimulus into nerve impulses and then images, and cellular biology. The last area includes research into use of genetic material to repair the retina.

salad, a starch item, a vegetable dish and dessert. She said that the more fattening items were offered because some residents needed more calories.
Kohl said that some students had complained about having to choose between a fruit and a dessert. She said that choosing between the two teaches bad nutrition habits because adults need two servings of fruits and vegetables each day.
But Ekdahl defended the food service policy by saying that a student could meet the fruit requirement at the other two daily meals.
Kohl also listed other factors that were significant to student weight gain. Metabolism
At the beginning of the college years, metabolism begins to slow down. Kohl said Because women stop growing at age 18 or 19, they should start decreasing their consumption at that age, she said.
However, men are not as likely to gain weight at this time.
“It’s one of the unfair facts of life that men oftentimes don’t start gaining weight until their late 20s and early 30s. Women, on the other hand, are still in their late teens and early 20s,” she said.
Kohl also discounted the myth that weight gain was inevitable and a normal part of aging.
"This is not necessarily true, healthy or acceptable," she said. "A person's metabolism is slower, and burns calories less efficiently. But our appetites do not decrease with age." Stress
Stress was another possible factor in weight gain during college, Kohl said.
"Stress is common in young adulthood because this is the period in life when one leaves home. The person feels an inner struggle to be an adult and at the same time,
a pull back homeward to Mom and Dad to guide decision making," Kohl said. Fast Food
Kohl thinks fast food is another culprit in the 'inch an inch' war.
Because Lawrence is fast food heaven, she said, many students take advantage of it with her.
"Students have more freedom being away from home, so they can order a pizza at it."
In the Penn State study, Harvey also found that college students' snacking habits increased slightly while the number of meals students' consumed decreased.
Kohl also found an abrupt change in students' physical activity in college.
"People come in and tell me that in high school they were in band, a cheerleader, or on the swim team," she said. "Then, they come up here and they do not get involved."

A TRIBUTE TO THE LAWRENCE WOMEN'S TRANSITIONAL CARE SERVICES
WTCS, which began operating a shelter for battered women and their dependent children in the fall of 1978, is a local response to a national problem. (While some one million to six million women are beaten in their homes each year, governing units all over the country are handing public funds to their respective chambers of commerce and other moneyed groups with which these comfortable contingents then understandably continue promoting private interests.)
Because City Commissioners Ernest Angiro, David Longhurst and Howard Hill know nothing about the Lawrence Women's Transitional Care Services (WTCs), they voted; at the August 21st meeting of the City Commission, to cut $5,000 in state alcohol tax revenues from WTCs and give this money instead to the Douglas County Citizens Committee on Alcoholism.
promotes this mission.
WTCS, a collective organization which accords equal power to each of its members, maintains a 24 hour crisis line and a shelter in which food, transportation and personal attention are given to all who enter by the 26 WTCS volunteers. Because WTCS only attempts to give those seeking its assistance the strength with which to deal with the problems confronting them, more than 50% of these abused women return to the homes from which they earlier had fled.
By conducting public workshops and training sessions for police and hospital personal as well as providing speakers for various groups, WTCS hopes to, in WTCS advocate Parm Houston's words, 'break (this) cycle of violence' and eliminate the need for its services. As that day doesn't lie in the foreseeable future, many Lawrenicians hope that these three city commissioners will reconsider their position and henceforth support this distinctive and vital organization.

REASON #4 TO CALL YOUR PARENTS:
YOUR ROOMMATE.
your parents told I you that your new roommate might have a few idiosyncrasies. They weren't kidding.
But they never told you how much fun it was going to be working out your differences.
So call and tell your parents all about the fights at 3 AM, the tantrums at 5 AM, and the laughing when it's done. They'll be glad to hear you're working it out.
So go ahead, call your parents after 11 PM weeknights or between 11 PM Friday and 5 PM Sunday when rates drop to their very lowest.
Your parents will be glad to hear that you're still in good hands.
