TV news agency films Shankel and scientific conference in Italy
By JERRY SEIB
When Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor, went to Italy earlier this month, he had no intention of appearing on Italian television.
Things just worked out that way.
Smith traveled to Cremona, in north-central Italy, to present a paper at a weeklong International Conference on Ecological Perspectives in Carcinogens and Cancer Control. He was of about 28 invited speakers from the United States, England, France and Italy.
Shankel and three other scientists were in the midst of a joint presentation. Sept. 19 when a television crew from an Italian news network walked into the room and began filming.
Among the most surprised people at the Sunday morning katherine was Shankel.
"WE TOUGH there might be an audience of about six—four panelists, a moderator and one observer," Shankel said.
As it turned out, the audience was about 100 scientists and onlookers. Audience members were provided with earphones playing simultaneous translations of the papers and discussions into Italian, and the students were given the activities for later television broadcast.
Shankel, who is also a professor of microbiology, delivered a paper entitled "Chemical and Physiological An- nthropogenesis. Possible Relationship to Carcinogenesis."
ANTIMUTAGENESIS refers to the effects of agents that prevent mutations, or changes, in the body's cells. Carcinogenesis is the process of inducing a cancer.
Shankel, like other scientists, has been researching to discover whether antimutagenic agents might someday stop cancer cells from developing.
His appearance at the conference was an outgrowth of the work he and Colin Clarke. He also led the international conferences years. Shankel and Clarke, who met about 10 years ago at an international conference on genetics in the Hague, Netherlands, on paper last spring on amnipiases.
Reviews of that article prompted Kendrick Smith of Stanford University to invite the two scientists to participate in a session he was organizing for the conference in

Because of Shankel's heavy administrative work load, students play an important role in the preparation of papers such as the one he presented in Italy. The laboratory also performed his Malott Hall laboratory were included in the paper, Shankel said.
For the last three years, Shankel and Clarke have participated in a cooperative NATO grant. The grant has allowed two of each other's laboratories once a year.
"I don't do much research myself any more," Shankar said. "Most of my research
EXCEPT FOR such trips, Shankel said,
he hasn't had enough time for much
travel.
The trip to Italy was Shankel's second, but his first to the northern district around Rome.
THE CONFERENCE also gave Shankar a chance to meet representatives from various universities.
"The countryside is very pretty in that area," he said. "There are lots of red-tiled roofed buildings. It reminded me a lot of Eastern Kangas."
"Most places seem to be having problems at least as severe as ours in the United States," he said. "They're experiencing falling enrollments and a tight job market."
Shankel also learned of some of the more
After three years of leading the University, Chancellor Archie Dykes will become an honorary member of the senior class.
Class of '77 asks Archie to join them
Bill French, senior class president, said last week the class of 77 and Dykes had come to KU together for the first time in the fall of 1973. Because of this, French said, the senior class thought it would be a nice gesture to initiate Dykes into the class.
In an initiation ceremony scheduled for 9:45 a.m. tomorrow in the Chancellor's office, members of the senior class will present Dykes with a senior class shirt.
Dykes' initiation is a part of senior class activities this week, which include senior balloting for HOPE (Honor to the Outstanding Progressive Educator) Award nominees tomorrow and Thursday, and the Senior Regalia. The regalia will be Friday.
"I talked to a man from the University of Pisa," he said. "The University of Pisa is about the size of KU. But he mentioned that the University of Milan has more than 100,000 students. I don't want to contemplate that."

Shankel was on his way back home when he picked up the International Tribune, an international English language newspaper. There, he read his first news about KU since

funds for research projects at the Med Center
From page one
H. E. Al漠唇an, a microbiologist, sau people in the Basic Sciences were discouraged because many research direct ideas were approved, but not funded.
A $100,000 research request was turned down by the Kansas Board of Regents in response to concerns about the quality of research.
Years ago there was a great deal of money for research, Kugel said. He said he dn't know why funds had decreased, but could only reflect that it had happened. He said administrators would welcome suggestions to help increase research funds.

either ask the person what he is doing there
or just tell him it was wrong," he said.
One employee said that half of Kansas City would soon have Med Center badges because the badges weren't collected when people left their Med Center jobs.

The personnel department is supposed to collect the badges. Mills said.
There was no comment at the meeting from the personnel department.
