Biology grad takes award second time
By JOHN BRUS Kansan Staff Reporter
For the sixth consecutive year a University of Kansas student has won the award for the best student research paper presented at the annual meeting of the Missouri Valley Branch of the American Society of Microbiology.
This year's award went to Richard
Colomo, Allendale, N.J., graduate student
last weekend. Colonno also won the award last year.
Competition for the award was among 12 schools from Kansas. Nebraska, Oldahoma
David Paretsky, chairman of the department of microbiology, said yesterday the reason the KU microbiology department was shut down in a row was the high caliber of its research.
very seriously", Paretsky said. "We have a spirit of research activity not only on the faculty and graduate level, but on the undergraduate level as well."
'We take the business of doing research
Colombo said his research had been a three-year project and involved the exact biochemical workings of two infectious viruses.
Colombo said he had been studying the virus that causes Newcastle's disease and a strain of herpes.
He said his research had demonstrated that these viruses synthesize RNA. RNA is genetic material used to transfer information from one cell to the surrounding material of the cell.
multiple sclerosis.
Colomo said that his work added to the basic understanding of how virus works. He now better be devise ways to stop the action of the disease associated with them, he said.
"I take a lot of pride in this award. It's recognition that you've done something significant and it's good to hear it besides from the people right around you," he said. Colonno said that the research would be incorporated into his Ph.D. thesis, and that he will need to work with them after receiving his doctorate, he will go to the Roche Institute in Nutley, N.J., to use a two-year post-doctoral fellowship he has already received, he said.
CPA funds...

serve the same ends. Palen said one example of possible overlap with the CPA was the Student Senate Complaint Service, which is a clearing-house for student complaints.
Palen said he was fairly optimistic about CPA funding after his meeting with Rolfs. Bone said other possible sources for funding were being pursued by the organization, which it planned to seek from the United Fund and from the federal government.
Boone also said she was to meet today with William Balfour, vice chancellor for student affairs, to see whether funds could be obtained through the Outreach program.
Boone contends that the Consumer Protection Association serves and educates people outside the University, in the community and the state. This might mean that CPA qualifies for funding from Outreach, she said.
Weiss said she thought that if Ed Rolf's commitment to higher education were sincere, he would support student service organizations like CPA. She said that one of the main goals of the CPA was to educate about the dangers of the marketplace.
"The radio programs we sponsor reach thousands of people, not only at KU but throughout the community and Douglas County." Weiss said. The CPA also sponsors television programs designed to educate the public about consumer problems, she said.
APEARING BEFORE the Student Services Committee Sunday, Weiss said that a cutback in CPA funding would be a waste of the money invested in CPA so far.
Boone said that the CPA was the kind of organization that couldn't be effectively operated on a part-time basis. She also said that having a professional staff was extremely important because of the nature of consumer protection.
"It would be potentially dangerous to have students working part-time on consumer protection problems." Boone said. "It is important for our services to make them part-time."
"It would be better to dissolve than to jeopardize the group's ability to be ef-
Boone said that CPA was one of the few groups funded by the Student Senate that offered a return on the student's investment. She said that CPA had recovered over $7,100 worth of security deposits, faulty merchandise and professional services since July of this year, and over $17,500 since August of 1973.

More beer is brewed in Milwaukee than any other city in the world. So to be the #1 selling beer in Milwaukee means you've got to be brewing the best beer money can buy. ___
And Pabst must be doing just that. Look at the charts. Blue Ribbon accounts for more than half the beer sold in Milwaukee. It outsells the next brand nearly five to one.
That's why we feel we've earned the right to challenge any beer. So here's the Pabst challenge: Taste and compare the flavor of Blue Ribbon with the beer you're drinking and learn what Pabst quality in beer is all about. But don't take our word for it. Taste our word for it.
PABST Since 1844.The quality has always come through.
