Helicopter OK’D for BLM management Use of helicopters by the Bureau of Land Management aj a tool for management of wild horse and burro herds has been ap proved by a Senate-House con ference committee, according to Sen. Mark Hatfield. Use of aircraft to round up the animals has been prohibited under federal law. Hatfield, a member of the con ference committee which consid ered the bill, said that use of helicopters would facilitate and cut the costs of managing the wild horse herds. He said that hearings to con sider further changes in the law affecting wild horses and burros would probably be held next year. Wild horse and burro manage ment was considered as part of the Bureau of Land Management Organic Act which was approved Tuesday night by the conference committee.

Research project receives funding EUGENE — Renewed funding for a project which could have sig nificant medical potential has been received by John Keana, University associate professor of chemistry. The $27,100 grant has been awarded by the National Science Foundation to enable Keana to continue his research project, “Synthesis of Molecules Likely to Interact Strongly with Nerve." Keana and his research group are attempting to artificially pro duce the chemical tetrodotoxin in the laboratory. This chemical is derived from a poison found in the Japanese puffer fish and the Western American newt. Tetrodotoxin is an organic molecule which is both a poison and a painkiller. As a painkiller, tie chemical could have wide ap plication for medical purposes. Although 400 times more poisonous than strychnine, de rivatives from tetrodotoxin can be an excellent anaesthetic. By creat ing the chemical synthetically, Keana can enhance the desirable properties of tetrodotoxin. Also valuable as a probe, tet rodotoxin enables scientists to study the chemistry of nerve im pulses and their generation and transmission Tetrodotoxin effec tively blocks the entry of sodium into the nerve but allows the pas sage of other ions. briefs MEETINGS A New Teacher Education Graduate Stodert or ganization meeting wit be held today bom noon to 1 pjn in tie EMU. room to be poMed.
