Shot In The Arm
RALEIGH — In an
effort to bolster the
securing of kidneys from
recently deceased per
sons for transplantation,
the Kidney Program of the
Division of Health Ser
vices has appointed a
kidney procurement
committee.
The committee, headed
by Dr. Stanley Mandel,
associate professor of
surgery at the UNC School
of Medicine, will focus on
stimulating more active
participation in the kid
ney procurement program
by community hospitals.
Dr. Mandel pointed out
that all efforts to procure
kidneys from recently
deceased persons at the
present time is confined
mostly to the four
transplant centers in
Charlotte, Winston-
Salem, Chapel Hill and
Durham. “Unless the
public is willing to accept
the gift of a kidney of a
loved one after death and
hospitals accept respon
sibility for getting it to a
transplant center, many
kidney disease patients
will die,” he said.
The Chapel Hill surgeon
said that 300 people
contract life threatening
kidney disease each year
in North Carolina. “They
all have one thing in
GREENSBORO — It
served as a “shot in the
arm” to all concerned,
that Thursday morning
announcement from the
Carolina Cougars’ execu
tive offices. Veteran
center Mike Lewis has
agreed to terms for the
1973-74 American Bas
ketball Association sea
son.
In announcing the
contract inking. Cougar
President and General
Manager Carl Scheer
expressed his optimism
for Lewis’ upcoming sixth
professional campaign.
“We thoroughly expect
Mike to return to the
L>ourgars’ active ranks on
or about January 1st,”
said Scheer, “This is what
both the doctors and Mike
are shooting for. After all
his misfortune, this will be
some comeback, one only
someone with Mike’s
dedication and guts could
accomplish.”
The 27-year old Lewis
will be returning to the
Cougars following a pair
of operations to repair a
ruptured right achilles
tendon. The initial injury
occurred on November
10th in Greensboro as the
Cougars were playing the
Kentucky Colonels. Lewis
also incurred two recent
additional hospital visits
common, all are produc
tive members of society
and most are between the
ages of 12 and 55. Kidney
victims also are com
prised of all colors and
sexes and come from all
walks of life,” Mandel
said.
A few years ago people
suffering from kidney
disease were dying be
cause there were not
enough dialysis machines
for ridding the blood of
impurities caused by
diseased kidneys or funds
to support a kidney
program. Today, there
are some 210 people on
dialysis in the state and
about 100 waiting for
transplants. “I am con
cerned because the num
ber of transplants is not
increasing correspon
dingly to our abihty to
maintain kidney sufferers
temporarily with dial
ysis,” Mandel said.
IV. “The regional offices
will not become just
another bureaucratic le
vel through which coun
ties will have to pene
trate. Rather, needed
resources will be closer to
the people in a more

For his fifteen 1972
games, the Duke product
had averages of 10.1
points and 8.1 rebounds.
His 50% field goal
accuracy equaled his
career mark. For the
fifteen games, Carolina
had enjoyed its best start
ever at 10-5. Lewis was
also most instrumental in
the Cats’ super 8-3
pre-season pace, a
stretch which produced
five wins over NBA
opposition.
The Missoula, Montana
native is high atop the
ABA career categories of
field goal percentage and
rebounds. A veteran of
334 regular season
games, the popular Lewis
has appeared in two
All-Star tilts, including
the 1971 contest played in
the Greensboro Coliseum.
He was acquired by the
Cougars last summer from
the now-defunct Pitts
