' The unlikely sounding

insurance statistics have
long sine demonstrated that
fat people have shorter life
spans than lean people, gen
erally speaking. That is why
physicians take emphatic
stands against obesity. But
.the scientific facts backing up
the stalisical reality have
been hard to get.
v The central truth in all
.this is that the untimely
,blood clot is the prime cause
of many heart attacks and
"strokes." It also is respon
sible for various other dis
orders in blood circulation,
jiome of them grave.
. At present Shaw was mak
.Tng no claim that excessive
body fat is the cause of clot
.ting in the circulating blood.
,His findings by research
classification are "prelimi

point demandingly toward
new avenues for detailed in

It occurred to Shaw that
those vascular disorders
might be responsible for
longer clot-dissolving times
than body fat. He compared
plotting times and fat roll

Jound the same connection
-Jjetween them as existed in
the men without vascular
troubles.
Much Contradiction
'., Looking back over the
jnany studies of blood clot
Ting times in a large variety
jpt peoples. Shaw found much
.contradiction and ambiguity.
None of the previous investi
gators had taken into account
$hc degree of fattening in :
Jhcir patients and this. Shaw
Suggested, may be why the
results didn't agree.
? Many things influence the
.blood "chemistry which dis
courages clotting, including
the natural anxiety of a per
aon upon seeing the needle
with which a doctor is about
;: to withdraw a sample of his
blood. Shaw endeavored to
control all these influences in
his subjects.
In reporting his findings to
! the technical journal, "The

All Forms ol
Hazing Ruled Out
At University
Eugene-OIPf-The University
of Oregon will not penalize
any of the fraternities which
engaged in hazing in January,
President Arthur S. Flemming
announced Wednesday.
But he warned It had better
not happen again.
Flemming said the univer
sity was partly responsible for
the hazing because some of
its officials made statements
which led the fraternities to
the conclusion that some types
of hazing still were per
missable. "Under the circumstances,
I have concluded that the
university would be guilty of
an act of injustice if it im
posed penalties for the hax
ing," Dr. Flemming said.
Soma Forms Used
Despite an anti-hazing poli
cy announced in 1961, one
university official later told
a group of fraternity leaders
he didn't expect all types of
hazing would be eliminated
immediately, according to a
report of Dean of Students
Donald DuShane.
DuShane reported that of
the 21 fraternities on the cam
pus, "approximately half . . .
conducted programs that in
volved some forms of haz
ing." Flemming said Wednesday
he will make sure there is no
recurrence. He announced a
policy which would abolish
"hell-week," and warned that
no fraternity is to permit any
form of hazing at any time.
Any violation, no matter
how minor, will be punished
by temporary or permanent
closure of the house, he
warned.
He delegated enforcement
of the policy to DuShane with
instructions to interpret it
literally.

complex exploded and burned
Wednesday night, leaving six
persons hospitalized in a night
of terror and confusion in this
Mississippi river community.
The most seriously injured
was Guy Comeaux, who re
ceived first and second degree
burns. The others were ad
mitted for treatment of minor
cuts and burns.
The explosion rattled win
dows in the 24-story state
Capitol at Baton Rouge 15
miles to the north.
In Leolaville, a small com
munity half a mile from the
plant, Emma Critncy said she
was knocked off her porch by
the blast and her daughter,
Dolores. 17, was hysterical.
