Computer firm
reaches out

Hee

EDMONTON (CP)
Ontario firm wants to: offe:
free room, board and co!
ter time to young comput me
fanatics, reckoning’ thay
might produce fresh ideas for
the company.

Ed_Kellow, president of
Commodore Business
Machines Ltd. of Toronto,
says an apartment building
stocked with terminals and
computer whiz-kids could
produce valuable sidelines,

“Out of that bunch some-
where there would be two or
three that would be very
valuable for the computer
industry and to Commodore,”
he said.

“Commodore would fund
them totally for food and
rent.” Kellow said he expects
the main contributions would
be in software — computer
programs that Commodore
‘could market.

“If any of them write a
program Commodore could
use, then we'd pay them a
royalty.”

Goals

‘anf tHe sald one high school

ropout earned $600,000
from the company, over two,
years from royalties on \a
‘word-processing program.  °

Kellow said the program
would be open to anyone
interested in and able to
handle computers, and resi-
dents of the computer build-

ing would be free to work on °

anything they chose.

“The idea is not to restrict
it to students,” he sald. “All
the best brains are not in
universities.”

He said no location has
been chosen, but Alberts is a
prime choice.

Kellow said he has discus--
sed informally the idea of a
partnership with the provin-
cial government. -

“We'll be preparing a
formal proposal very short-
ly.” He also said he hopes the
government would select the
candidates with up to 10 per
cent. coming from outside
Canada.

.Many successful

Those who dispair over
trying to quit smoking or lose
weight can take heart from a
study published in the Can-
adian Journal of Public
Health.

The study by psychologist
Stanley Schachter. of New
York’s Columbia University,
suggests that the majority of

- those unhappy. about their
smoking or. their weight ul-
timately succeed in dealing
with the problem. Usually
they are successful without
the direct help of therapists
or doctors.

Schachter interviewed 83
members of tie psychology
department at his university
and 78 people working in
shops in a small town on
Long Island, .

Of the 161 individuals, 34
‘were current smokers and 60
were former smokers, who,

on average, hadn't had a
puff for more than seven
years. Among those who had
tried to quit, Schachter's
data indicated 77 per cent

_ultimately succeeded.

Among the same 161 in-
dividuals, 46 had had persis-
tent weight problems, de-
fined as 15 per cent.or more
overweight. Forty of these
people had tried to lose
weight and 25 had ultimately
succeeded.

Schachter says pessimism
over controlling weight or

smoking rests largely on‘ the -

outcome of one attempt.
Only 10 per cent might
succeed at stopping smoking
or losing weight on the first
serious attempt, Schachter
says,- but as.-people. keep
trying the total number of
successes climbs slowly.

Conflict of interest

WASHINGTON .(REUT-
ER) — The increasing com-
mercialization of genetic-
engineering techniques is
causing a crisis in U.S.
universities and in the sci-
entific ‘community, several
researchers say.

During a symposium at an
American Association for the
Advancement of Science
meeting, the scientists said
faculty members are facing a
serious conflict of interest
between their responsibili-
ties to students and colleges
and to their commercial in-
terests.

They said the commercial-
ization of genetic engineering
also is blocking the tradi-
tional free flow of informa-
tion among scientists.

Jonathan King of the Mas-
sachusetts Institute of Tech-
nology, a long-time opponent
of recombinant DNA re-
search, said he believes the
situation is unique.

When the electronics rev-
olution began, researchers
left universities to start their
own ventures, he said. Now
scientists are starting com-

panies but also remaining on _

university faculties.
King said this resulted in:

— Public funds being used"

for research after which the

scientists withhold results _

for proprietary reasons.
— Research attention be-
ing pointed toward work that
might lead to commercial
gain. There is research into
developing human insulin, a

cure for diabetes, he said, but .

little into finding the cause of
the disease because there is
more profit in the cure.

— Scientists, making pri-
vate gain from federally
funded research causing “the
public to buy back what i ithas
paid for.”

King suggested the gov-
ernment withhold funding for for
any scientist who had an

equity position in the re-

search.

Gilbert Omenn “of ‘the
Brookings Institution said
there is some tradition in
science of withholding .infor-
mation for private glory such.
as first-publication or to win
awards.

“The oldest. trick in the
book is'to withhold a step in
the’ process in communi.
cations with other scient-
ists,” he said.

But King said that this now
is being institutionalized, and.
that it affects review com-
mittees’ allocation of funds as
well as the contents of sci-
entific journals.
