University Daily Kansan / Thursday, March 12, 1987 9 Two McCollum Hall roommates arrested on marijuana charges By a Kansan reporter Two McCollum Hall roommates were arrested Tuesday evening in their room on charges of possession of marijuana with the intent to sell it, a KU police spokesman said yesterday. One of the students also was charged with possession of marijuana. Douglas County jail records showed. Lt. Jeanne Longaker, KU police When police arrived at the hall, Longaker said, they found one of the suspects standing in the hallway. They requested and received permission to search the room. spokesman, said police received a call about 10 p.m. Tuesday from a McColum Hall staff worker who reported smelling burning marijuana. After the search the students were arrested. KU Police Sgt. John Brothers said police found 2 ounces to 4 ounces of marijuana in several plastic bags. The students were booked into Douglas County Jail at about midnight and remained there with no bond set yesterday afternoon, jail records showed. Possession of marijuana with intent to sell it is a class C misdemeanor, punishable by up to 20 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine. Condensation muffles class whistle By a Kansan reporter The whistle that signals the end of classes is ill. it was silenced completely. "It sounds like it's got laryngitis," said Bob Porter, assistant director of physical plant maintenance. The whistle usually blows for a powerful seven seconds at the end of each class period, but Tuesday morning it began squeaking a hoarse, muffled noise. Yesterday afternoon, Porter said facilities operations workers removed the whistle from the roof of the physical plant building, which is behind Stauffer-Flint Workers examined the whistle to make a diagnosis, Porter said. He said he thought the problem was caused by moisture built up inside the whistle pipe. The condensation comes from the steam that the whistle emits to make its sound. The whistle must clear out condensation before releasing the steam, he said, but now there might be too much water in the system. Porter said if workers had not cured the whistle by the end of classes yesterday, they would let it squeak its creaky noises until spring break. Then, over the break, the whistle will be repaired.

They said a government study involving more than 4,000 women provided the strongest evidence yet of the protective value of oral contraceptives against the deadly form of cancer. "This is very strong confirmation of something that had been suspected for quite some time." said Nancy C, Lee, a researcher from the federal Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, which reported the findings. "For women who are afraid the birth control pill causes cancer, we have good evidence it protects against one type of serious cancer," Lee said in a telephone interview. "For women who are taking the birth control pill for pregnancy prevention, they are getting an added beneficial effect." The findings, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, should reassure the estimated 8.4 million U.S. women taking the pill and could encourage others to begin using the form of contraception, she said. Other studies have shown that oral contraceptives appear to reduce the risk of endometrial cancer but could increase the risk of heart attack and stroke among older women and those who smoke.
