Biochemistry prof leads genetic study UNESCO project
aims to map genes
By Steve Bailey
Kansan staff writer
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A University of Kansas Medical Center professor has returned recently from Paris after the first meeting of a UNESCO committee on genetic research.
Santiago Grisolia, distinguished professor of biochemistry at the Med Center, accepted in January the chairmanship of the scientific coordinating committee of the international human genome project.
Grisolia led last month the first meeting of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization coordinating committe-
The project is an extensive, 15-year effort aimed at mapping all genetic material in the cells of humans. An estimated 100,000 genes are in human DNA.
Several nations including Ger many, France, Italy, the Soviet Union and the United States are cooperating to gather research for
The University of Kansas is the only university in the United States associated with the project.
Grisolia, who spends most of his time in Valencia, Spain, as director of the Institute for Cell Research, said the project was important because genetic makeup was the essence of human life.
"Each person genetically is different," Grisolia said. "There are at least 4,000 known genetic diseases and conditions that people have a serious genetic disease."
He said the project also would be important to police and courts as the inclusion of genetic evidence became more common in the legal system.
The project could play a part in the introduction of new technology and medical procedure.
D. Kay Clawson, executive vice chancellor for the Med Center, said the Med Center was fortunate to be associated with the project.
"We are moving into a time of predictive medicine, not preventive medicine," Grisella said. "This project is a giant step in that direction."
"Few people understand what a tremendous honor this is for Dr. Grisolia and for the medical center," Clawson said. "In the medical world, this is about as high as you can go without winning the Nobel Prize."
Grisolia, an enzyme chemist who has been considered several times for the Nobel Prize, will return to Spain next week.
Student Senate seeks total freeze on tuition
By Matt Taylor Kansan staff writer
Student Senate committees last night urged the Board of Regents to freeze tuition and approved $6,400 in honorarium bills for campus speeches.
University Affairs passed a bill that would urge the Regents to freeze tuition for fiscal 1992. B. Jake White, student body president, said that because a rollback in tuition was not possible, a total tuition freeze should be passed.
He said the Regents on Monday would begin deliberating tuition for 1992. He and other student body presidents from Regents institute have the opportunity express student opinion to the Regents:
Because Senate will not meet until two days after the Regents meeting, a Senate vote on the tuition bill would not affect the outcome.
Both the University Affairs and Finance committees passed bills that would finance speeches on campus. Senate is scheduled to vote on the approved legislation at its meeting Wednesday.
Slightly Older Americans for Freedom requested $3,000 to pay for a May 1 speech by William Kuntlsr, an attorney specializing in individual and civil rights.
The committees approved a bill that would pay three guest speakers a total of $1,900 to speak during Gay and Lesbian Awareness week, sponsored by Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas.
"The three speakers are excellent role models for gays and lesbians," said Henry Schwaller, GLOSK treasurer.
Peter Staley of Act Up New York would receive $600; Susan Hyde, a representative of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force would receive $900; and Eric Maynard, psychologist, would receive $400. Schwaller said GALA week was
scheduled for April 1021.
University Affairs approved
both bills with no debate.
The Finance Committee approved two bills and a bill that would pay $1,500 for Ellen Johnson Sireleaf to speak during African Awareness Week, which is April 9-13.
