"In people not of Jewish ancestry, it appears in one out of 250. It's less common but not unheard of." Tay-Sachs is caused by the absence of the enzyme hexosamin idase. Without the enzyme, fatty substances accumulate in the nerve cells of the brain. When a child is born with Tay-Sachs, he or she may appear to be healthy.

According to B. J. Campbell, director of the center, seat belt use was less than 20 percent before the seat belt laws went into effect. Afterward, belt use went up to 40 to 50 percent in the states with laws. "If we project our findings based on just the eight states to the entire nation, we could expect 2,000 to 2,500 lives to be saved each year," Campbell said. "That's with seat belt use at its current level of 40 to 50 percent." He also said that 30 million Americans who did not buckle up have begun to do so since the laws went into effect. That makes the total number of belt wearers about 51 million, he added.

He said Bowles was often impa tient with the "snail's pace" of official church aid for the needy. "He preferred to move quickly and meet human need where he found it," said Dickson. "His chief concern was that he had not done enough." Bowles defeated former Lt. Gov. Pat Taylor for the gubernatorial nomination in 1972 but lost in the general election to Jim Holshouser, the first elected republican governor this century. Bowles headed the N.C. Board of Conservation and Development, forerunner of the N.C. Department of Commerce, during Sanford's administration and served one term in the state House and two terms in the state Senate. He was a member of the UNC Board of Trustees from 1973 to 1981, serving as chairman his last year. He was chairman of the board of Bowles, Hollowell, and Connor Co., a Charlotte investment banking firm, and was a board member for several other banking, investment, housing, industrial and retail companies in the state.

About 43,000 people are killed each year in traffic accidents, and Campbell said that seat belts could sav 7,000 to 9,000 lives a year if everyone obeyed the laws. However, he said, "It's unlikely this country will ever reach 100 percent compliance, but substantial improvements can be made. Intense public information and an increased enforcement commitment are needed to realize what is potentially the most successful highway safety measure in this country's history." Campbell said people simply do not understand the risks of not wearing a seat belt. Traffic death is by far the greatest cause of death among college students, Ij&said. "On this campus, two or three students are killed every year as regularly as clockwork mostly because they were not wearing seat belts." He added that understanding the risks is "like a football player knowing that if he doesn't wear his helmet, he's going to be knocked silly." i$5 0 ALLYCy CAN D2 House members to debate bill to stop drug trafficking From Associated Press reports WASHINGTON The House began debate Wednesday on a multi-billion dollar drug bill, a day after House Speaker Tho mas P.

Its main goal is to increase the Democrat's visibility on campus beacuse he does not have the name recognition he needs, she said. The group has several projects planned to achieve this aim.

Women, their heads covered in black shawls, wailed as rabbis read Jewish prayers, including one asking revenge for the death of innocent people and another normally said during war. "Those worshippers who lost their lives had not even the time to realize and understand why they were chosen as targets for such a brutal slaughter,,M said Jak Veissid, legal adviser to Istanbul's chief rabbi.' "No act of violence or aggression could have' been so inhuman, so insane, so cruel," he said in his eulogy to the victims of Saturday's subma chine gun attack at Neve Shalom synagogue.

Daniloff marks time in prison MOSCOW For two hours each day, Nicholas Daniloff exercises on a caged rooftop above the drab working-class apartments surrounding Lefor tovo Prison. The rest of his day is confined either to the room where a KGB colonel conducts painstaking interrogations or to the 8-by-10-foot cell where Daniloff passes time with books about the Rus sian revolutionaries exiled to Siberia in 1825. Four times in his 11 days at Lefortovo, Daniloff has been shaved and brought to an ornate reception room. There, he has met with his wife, son, a U.S. diplomat and his boss under the supervision of KGB Col. Valery Sergodeyev and a Soviet translator. From her visits, Mrs. Daniloff has been able to give reporters a glimpse into her husband's exist ence in Lefortovo, where he was charged by a military tribunal with three counts of espionage. Other tactics include canvassing dorms and apartments in an effort to contact students and helping with voter registration drives, she added.

About 5,000 people gathered to watch as 19 plain, wooden coffins were loaded onto green funeral trucks for the 6-mile procession to a Jewish cemetery in the residential district of Ulus. Two of the dead were buried in Israel Tuesday. Religious and diplomatic officials from the United States, Israel, England, France, West Germany, Italy, Greece and Sweden attended the funeral. The Catholic, Protest ant, Greek Orthodox and Armenian Orthodox churches also sent ' representatives. Under police escort, mourners were bused into the cemetery, nor mally used only by Ashkenazi, or northern European Jews. The vic tims were Sephardim, descendants of those who fled the Spanish inqui sition in the 15th century, but their cemetery in Istanbul is full.
