NOVEMBER 27,1979 104 Year Old Says 'Martini A Day May Increase Your Life Span' By Priscilla Smith "Frequenting the neighborhood pub and downing a martini a day, may actually increase your life span," says Winona Wilonka of California who is 104 years old. According to the November 2 issue of the Journal of the American Medical ASaSociation, Mrs. Wilonka is right. Those people who drink about three beers, two glasses of wine or two highballs per day may be less likely to die of coronary disease than people who abstain from alcohol. A group of Harvard doctors, who submitted the study, said they observed the drinking habits of more than 1000 men and found that "moderate" consumption of beer, wine and liquor may reduce the risk of heart attack. The Boston researchers have documented information of 568 men who died of heart disease compared with the data on an equal number of men in the same age groups and basic socio-economic background. They have what they call strong evidence that "alcohol itself" and not some other vitamin or mineral in a drink protects against heart disease. One of the researchers, Dr. Walter Willett, says they are not certain why alcohol produces the effects shown in the study, but they think alcohol may increase the Alexander Wins Danforth Award When Dr. Sandra C.

Security Council was expected to begin debate Monday on the U.S.-Iranian crisis in response to a request from Secretary- General Kurt Waldheim contending that it is the most serious threat to peace since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. The United States, which for nearly two weeks blocked an Iranian request for the debate, agreed because it believed the debate would result in a strong resolution demanding release of the 49 Americans held hostage in the U.S. Embassy in Tehran for three weeks, a State department official said. The hostages were visited Sunday for the first time since their ordeal began Nov. 4 by an American official as tens of thousands of Iranians held the daily anti-American demonstration outside. The official, Rep. George Hansen, R-Idaho, reported the captives were still being kept with their hands tied loosely and were "anxious" but healthy. He also reported one of them was recovering from chicken pox. (See Iranians Page 5) Dr. Sandra Alexander Foundation fellowships for graduate study.

This is the student who for some reason or another has postponed his education and has worked for a number of years before deciding to come back to school.

What brings these older students back into the educational system? According to Dr. Emory Sadler, chairman of the Psychology Department, there are a number of factors. "Some students simply come back to up-grade their credentials whereas others are interested in the subject matter. They may elect to take just a course or two," he said. (See Degree, Page 2)
