Lithium tapped to treat AIDS

Lithium researcher granted patent to test
chemical's value as alternative treatment

By Karla Dooley
ASSISIANI NEVIS EDIIOR

Dr. Vincent Gallicchio. asso-
ciate dean of research in the UK
College of Allied Health Profesy
sions. has received a patent to
test the value of lithium in AIDS
treatment.

Lithium is known to have a
number of immune inhancing
properties, and Gallicchio pro-
poses that combining drugs com-
monly used for AIDS patients
with lithium salts could reduce
the amount of virus in a person's
body by enhancing the immune

It might also help prevent
toxic side effects of the drugs it
would be combined with. AZT
and DDI. Patients now taking
these drugs often suffer from
damage to the pancreas and bone
marrow. and as a result have to
either stop treatment or take less

of the drugs.

Gallicchio, who has been iii-
volved in lithium research since
1979. said he became interested in
the drug after it was discovered
that lithium increased the white
blood cell count in patients who

were taking it.

At the time. lithium was used

polar disorder.

"I was interested in blood
cells. or hematology." he said.
“It became of interest to me as a
scientist to investigate how lithi»
um can stimulate white blood
cells. and the rest. as they say. is
history."

In two weeks. Gallicchio will
travel to South Africa to make
preparations for the drug's clini-
cal trials. which will begin later
this year.

He said he chose South
Africa as the site of the trial be
cause there is no standard treat-
ment for AIDS there. while the
nation's infection rate increased
by 26 percent last year. giving it
one of the highest in the world.
The gains in life expectancy for
South African citizens have been
completely negated by the spread

”Needless to say. (the devel-
opment of a drug to treat AIDS) is
critically important." Gallicchio
said. “It just makes all positive
reasons for this project to contin»
no."

But Gallicchio tempers his
remarks with the fact that this is
only a trial.

“It will remain to be deter»
mined whether these new drugs
will actually reduce the amount
of infectious virus by inhibiting a
process that is essential for viral
life cycle." he said.

He hopes to present a report
on the trials at the International
AIDS Society's world conference.
to be held in South Africa next
year.

"For the first time. the meet-
ing will be held at a site that‘s a
developing country" which also

Gallicchio said. “That's got to be
a major political and positive
public relations item for all con-
cerned."

Gallicchio is also president of
the International Society for
Lithium Research, which will
hold its congress meeting at Lex-
ington's Radisson Hotel May 7.11.
Gallicchio said this year marks
the 50th anniversary of the use of
lithium as a treatment for manic
depression.

Gallicchio came to UK in 1986
after serving as an assistant pro-
fessor at Yale University. He re-
ceived his doctorate from New
York University. In addition to
his work in the College of Allied
Health Professions. he is acting

surr WRITER

President Charles Wethington's initia-
tive to improve instruction for undergradu—
ate students will mean big changes for the
University.

The President's liiitiative for Under-
graduate Education Improvement proposes
the use of technology become more fre-
quent in the classroom. Freshman semi-
nars. smaller classes. senior research pro-
jects. a centralized student resource center
and the increased use of peer mentors for
undergraduate students is also part of the
proposal.

Some students like George Chavis. a
social work senior. said the ideas behind
the proposal are great. but wonder about
the cost.

“The fees should not fall on students."
Chavis said.

Although Wethington has not released
the figures yet. the cost of technology in the
classroom. a student resource center and
more instructors for the smaller classes
worries some.

The Low-down 1.!

Source: Team contacts Lewinsky

WASHINGTON ~ House Republicans, who
will act as prosecutors in President Clinton‘s im-
peachment trial. have made their first contact
with Monica Lewinsky‘s lawyers. the Associated
Press has learned. Two sources said a member of
the House team made the contact within the pre-
vious 24 hours.

House prosecutors have made clear they
would like to call Ms. Lewinsky as a witness.
but the senators must give their permission
first. The prosecution team also contacted Kath-
leen Willey about a possible appearance as a
witness. Meanwhile. Clinton's lawyers told sen»
ators in a legal brief that they had an "obliga-
tion to turn away an unwise and unwarranted"
House impeachment that threatens American
democracy.

Polls show public still with Clinton

WASHINGTON ~ Public opinion remains
solidly in President Clinton‘s corner as the Sen-
ate prepares to decide whether to remove him
from office.

A majority of the public says a full trial is
unnecessary and wants the proceedings to be
both quick and fair. several new polls suggest.
And about two-thirds of Americans approve of
the job he‘s doing. according to the polls.

Republicans. however. have been hurt p0-
litically by their role in the impeachment pro-
ceedings. A CNN USA Today/Gallup poll
showed more than half disapproved of Senate
Republicans‘ handling of the impeachment pro-
ceedings.

said he was “99.9 percent“ sure he would never

confrontations in Iraq is raising speculation that
President Clinton might order a new bombing
campaign to silence Iraq‘s air defenses. Clinton
spokesman Joe Lockhart said the administration
intended to continue applying economic and mil-

tions. “There‘s a credible and robust threat of
force in the region if we determine that that
needs to be used." Lockhart said.

Blevins in
court Feb. 17

UK basketball guard faces charge of public
intoxication after win over Georgia Tech

By an Vanderhofl

CAMPUS EDITOR

UK freshman J .P. Blevins.
a guard for the basketball
team, will be in court Feb. 17
when he answers to a charge
of public intoxication.

Blevins was arrested Dec.
13 after the Wildcats‘ home
victory over Maryland the
night before.

He entered a not guilty
plea at his arraignment on
Dec. 28 after being suspended
for the game vs. Georgia Tech
and being placed on probation
by the University.

“We don‘t feel that just be-
cause he's an athlete, J.P. has
to plead guilty," Blevins’ attor-
ney Steven Romines said. “By
(the prosecution’s) own evi.
dence, he isn’t guilty."

On Monday. Romines was
granted a request for a bench
trial. in which a judge presides
over the case and decides the
verdict without a jury.

According to police re-
ports. Blevins was spotted by a
police officer leaving the re-
stroom at a party. When the of
ficer asked to see Blevins‘ iden-
tification. Blevins ignored him.

After being told by the oili-
cer to stop. Blevins fled. The
chase ended when Blevins
slipped on some wet steps and
was subsequently arrested.
Blevins told the officer he had
been drinking at the Royal Lex-
ington apartment complex be-
fore the officer arrived there

and was described in the report
as having “blood-shot eyes,
slurred speech and strong odor
of alcoholic beverage."

Romines said the prosecu-
tion does not has a strong
case. as it must prove four ele-
ments to convict Blevins.

“One. that he was mani-
festly intoxicated." Romines
said. “He blew a .07 on the
Breathalyzer. which is less
than the legal limit. Two, the
offense had to occur in a public
place. and he was at a private
party. in an apartment; three.
you (the defendant) have to be
a danger to yourself or others,
and there is no evidence that
J.P. was in such a state."

Finally. Romines said. all
of the above must be proved
beyond a reasonable doubt.

The incident came about a
month after UK Athletics Di-
rector C.M. Newton an—
nounced a zero-tolerance alco-
hol policy in late November.
which laid down penalties for
alcohol-related offenses. Un.
derage drinking (Blevins is 19)
and public intoxication war
rant probation.

Blevins' arrest occurred
around 3 am. two hours after
the 1 am. curfew, which is
standard on the night of games.

“J.P. apologized to his
teammates, the coaching staff
and to his parents.” said Tub-
by Smith. UK’s head basket-
ball coach. “However. he must
pay the consequences.“

Menard takes over B&E center

Ex-SuperAmerica, Valvoline exec succeeds former
governor Collins, to help Kentucky's businesses

By Mark Vanderhotl

CAMPUS EDITOR

Pierre M. “Pete" Menard has
given up executive work to fill a
post vacated by former Kentucky
Gov. Martha Layne Collins in the
UK Gatton College of Business and
Economics.

Formerly with SuperAmerica and
\r’alvoline. Menard now succeeds
(‘ollins as director of International
Business and Management Center.

Menard coordinates and oversees

public programs and continuing edu-

cation. and develops new ones within

 

the college.

"This culminates a lot of experi-
ence." Menard said.

“i started out in human re-
sources at Supt-rAmerica and then
took a position there in administra-
tion. which was a promotion. Now
I'm dealing with operations. admin-
istration. and training and develop-
ing."

Menard became familiar with the
center while working for SuperAmeri-
ca. a division of Ashland ()il. When
Ashland and Marathon announced
plans for a merger. Menard began to
look at other job possibilities.

“My wife and I didn‘t know what
the future held. but we wanted to re
main in Lexington." he said. "Then I
heard about this job."

The Bluegrass is still home to the
Menards. and as director of the center.
Menard now has the opportunity to
have a profound effect on the region.

"We (IBMC) provide services to

Boston no longer top
American school for
foreign students

THE ONLY FREE PRESS

BOSTON Boston Uni-
versity lost its billing as the
top American school for for-
eign students. a distinction
it held since 1994. according
to a report released last
month.

The report. conducted by
the institute for international
Education. showed New York
University edged out BU to
claim the highest number of
international students en-
rolled during the 1997-1998
academic year.

But BU administrators
said this week they are not
concerned about the news.

The university has delib-
erately reduced its incoming
international classes to make
room for more domestic stu-
dents. said Riaz Khan, assis-
tant vice president for Exter-
nal Programs.

“Every year we decide
how many domestic and inter-
national students we'd like to
recruit. and for this year and
last year we got the number
we wanted.

"We aren't in any way be-
low our target." he said.

Bl‘ boasted 4.603 foreign
students last year. 361 less
than NYU. the report states.

The report was compiled
from questionnaires sent to
2.57I institutions.

its rankings are based on
the number of full- and part-
time students enrolled dur-
ing the 19974998 academic
year.

The award is given to an
individual who exemplifies
outstanding professional dedi»
cation to the ethical use of hit-
inaii subjects and animals in
research. and in ensuring fed-
eral compliance with federal
regulations.

"It is because of the people I
work with in the research sub-
jects office and the University
administration who are com-
mitted to promoting ethical
conduct and give me the sup-

port I need to work at the feder-
al level that I have been able to
have this kind of participa-
tion.“ she said.

Selwitz. a native of Murray.
who taught at Berea College in
the 'TOs. has been involved since
1979 with promoting ethi-
cal conduct in research
on both a local and na»
tional level. She helps
shape public policymak-
ing as chair of the public
policy committee for
ARENA, which reviews
and submits comments
on regulations and poli-
cies proposed at the fed—
eral level.

Selwitz has seen the
federal government re-
vise regulations that streamline
research involving human sub-
jects and animals. She has also
helped open the doors to in—
clude women and minorities in
clinical trials.

Fitzgerald Bramwell. vice
president for Research and

 

Selwitz

Graduate Studies, said Selwitz
has had a tremendous impact
in her field because of her dedi-
cation to it.

“She has done an excellent
job making sure we meet all
federal regulations and compli-
ance issues.“ Bramwell said.
"She is a testament to the effi-
ciency and service that is pro-
vided by the research subjects
office."

office gave 34 presen-
tations at the UanCI”
sity to promote ethi.
cal conduct in re
search last year. She

plishments.

mitment to human and animal
protection issues." Foster said.
