The 34 percent who said they

percent say they will watch fewer

Cancer vaccine
NEW ORLEANS (AP) —
Developers of the first vaccine for
prostate cancer plan to begin test-
ing within a month, opening up an
entirely new approach to treating a
malignancy that kills 40,400
American men annually.
Prostate cancer is second only to
lung cancer as a cancer killer of
American men. There is no effec-
tive therapy once the tumor has
| spread beyond the prostate gland.
Many doctors believe the best
hope of for a cure is to cut out the
prostate as soon as a blood test
reveals it is cancerous. However,
the surgery is controversial, since
doctors can’t be certain beforehand
whether the cancer is still confined
to the prostate. Thirty percent to 40
percent of patients discover the
cancer to have spread despite the
painful operation.
The new treatment would be
given to these men after the opera-
tion to prompt their immune
systems to hunt down cancer cells
throughout their bodies.

Lawmaker says dress code
bill takes bull by horns
By LIBBY QUAID
Associated Press Writer
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A
state lawmaker has joined a “no
tolerance” campaign against publ-
ic school violence with a bill
authorizing school boards to forbid
clothing associated with street
gangs.
1 m damn tired of seeing kids
go to school in a learning atmo-
sphere ... they go to school looking
like they re hoodlums, hooligans,
drug dealers and gang members,”
said Rep. Kevin Cox, the Oklaho-
ma City Democrat who sponsored
the measure.
Cox said the gang violence
sometimes triggered by gang
colors is destroying the educational
process for other students. His bill
also would allow dress codes to
prohibit clothing that depicts
obscenity or promotes alcohol or
drug use.
Before the bill passed the
House, members amended it to

Shawnee return
GREENVILLE, Ohio (AP) —
The Shawnee Indians, forced to
leave Ohio 163 years ago, arc plan-
ning a comeback.
Seven tribal leaders from White
Oak and Shawnee, Okla., were in
Dayton and Greenville last week to
meet with public officials, visit
museums and explore plans for the
future.
“It looks like they’ve taken
good care of the neighborhood,’
The inspection was announced last
week at a meeting between HUD offi-
cials, owners and management of
Vista Plaza, tenents and city and coun-
ty officials.
Ed Kirkpatrick, an independant
contractor with HUD, began his
inspection of the units and said he
intended to be in Sapulpa until
Wednesday before finishing.
Apparently, residents also took the
opportunity to do a lot of spring clean-
ing at the same time.
John Anderson, Vista Plaza
employee and a Sapulpa city commis-
sioner, said that all the trash recepti-
cles were overflowing following a
weekend of cleaning by tenents.
However, Clyde Goldsmith, princi-
pal owner of the property apparently
took exception to the Sapulpa Police

physical deficiencies.
HUD officials said Vista Plaza
owners will have 72 hours to correct
problems which pose an immediate
threat to the health and safety of
occupants.
Owners will be given 30 days to
correct items that should be repaired or
replaced that do not represent an
immediate hazard.
Ownership of the complex also was
given 10 days to hire a new manage-
ment group. HUD officials said last
week that current management would
have to be replaced.
Anderson said he did not consider
himself as part of the apartment
management team and thought his job
at the complex was safe.
