UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Tuesdav. March 28.1995 7A THE NEWS in brief KAMPALA, Uganda Mountain gorillas killed in poaching incident Four rare mountain gorillas were killed in a southwestern Uganda park in the first known incident of poaching in 10 years, officials said yesterday. The bodies of the four primates, which had been speared, were found Saturday by staff of the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, according to a statement released by the International Gorilla Conservation Program. There were signs of a struggle and of poachers with dogs, the statement said. One of the dead was a nursing female, and it was feared that at least one infant was captured. Authorities have identified a few suspects and have alerted surrounding countries to watch for possible trafficking of one or more baby gorillas. Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is home to about 280 mountain gorillas, half of the world's remaining mountain gorillas. PITTSBURGH PITTSBURGH Couple rides road of love on a bus Bus drivers Kirk Driscoll and Patty Ruber met on the job, fell in love on the job and did little favors for each other on the job. Then they got married on the job. A Port Authority Transit bus may not be the most romantic thing on wheels, but Driscoll, 31, and Ruber, 34, turned one into a wedding chapel Saturday. They said their vows over the farm machine. "it's a standing load," Ruber said as she faced the guests, who overflowed the bus "pews." The couple met in the garage, and romance flourished in the crossroads: When their routes crossed, Driscoll would hop out of his bus to give her flowers or candy. And on Saturday mornings, when Driscoll drives an early shift, Ruber would hand him coffee and bagels through his window. Before the bus drove the wedding party into the sunset for a reception at the Fox Chapel Yacht Club, Jim Driscoll offered a toast to his brother and his new bride. "May this ride continue forever," he said. NEW YORK FDA considers anti-obesity drugs The Food and Drug Administration is considering guidelines that would speed the approval process for new anti-obesity drugs, The Wall Street Journal Under an original proposal developed last fall, the newspaper reported, two years of human testing would be required before approval of such drugs. reported yesterday. But more recently, a panel of scientists proposed requiring only one year of human testing on anti-obesity drugs. The revised proposal also would ease the original proposal's requirement for evidence that the drugs lower the risk of heart disease and other problems associated with obesity. The FDA appears likely to adopt the newer, less stringent requirements, the newspaper said. The FDA last approved diet drugs in the 1970s. Some diet drugs can be addictive, and patients frequently regain lost pounds within a year or two of suspending the drug. The new drugs, based on increased understanding of metabolic abnormalities, are expected to work better and have fewer side effects than older drugs, some of which were chemically similar to amphetamines. Obesity — weighing at least 30 percent more than an ideal weight — affects 78 million people in the United States and adds about $100 billion to health-care costs, said Judith Stern, a professor of nutrition and internal medicine at the University of California at Davis. LONDON Prince Charles to sell herbal drinks Prince Charles hopes to do the Paul Newman thing: create a successful product with profits that can finance charities. For Charles, the golden goose is herbal soft drinks, partly made from fruits grown on his estates. Coca-Cola and Schweppe Beverages Ltd. will produce and distribute the nonalcoholic, sparkling drinks called Duchy No. 1 and Duchy No. 2, Mike Cornish, managing director of Duchy Originals, said yesterday. "Both drinks were carefully crafted by masters of wine to produce a sophisticated alternative to alcohol. They are blended from the finest natural English apples, pears, rasperberries and herbs with lightly carbonated Scottish spring water." Cornish said. Some ingredients come from the royal estate at Sandringham and Charles' farm at Highgrove, as well as the National Fruit Collection in Kent. Cornish said. The drinks contain no additives or preservatives and will go on sale tomorrow for about $3.90 a bottle. The names are a takeoff on Pimm's, similarly numbered herbal alcoholic drinks popular in Britain and on the Duchy of Cornwall, the landholdings that provide the prince's income. Sales of more than a million bottles are expected in the next year. Compiled from The Associated Press THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS J.A.VICKERS SR. MEMORIAL LECTURE SERIES HAWK R.
