Lecture ties secondhand smoke to breast cancer

|

Secondhand smoke increases the risk of breast cancer in young women, although many experts still refuse to accept the research, published by the California Environmental Protection Agency in 2006, because no study has conclusively linked direct smoke inhalation to breast cancer, Dr. Stan Glantz, director of the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at the University of California, San Francisco, claimed in his Thursday lecture at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Glantz likened the breast cancer researchers who doggedly oppose the California EPA's findings to "religious fanatics," referring to their unwillingness to accept the findings. The link between smoke inhalation and breast cancer, which Glantz called "the most important scientific development in the last 10 years," follows logically, according to Glantz, because cigarettes contain many known mammary carcinogens, such as benzene. "If you're a breast cell minding your own business and some benzene from smoke goes floating by, it doesn't have a sign on it saying, 'I'm a cigarette, never mind,'" Glantz said.

Good Sam abused to get rid of annoying friends

|

Phil Woram / The Dartmouth Staff Those who tend to wander through their hallways after a night of drinking, preventing other students from sleep, now risk confrontation with the latest method of resolving personal conflicts -- unwarranted Good Samaritan calls -- which seem to be on the rise among Dartmouth students. In one instance, an intoxicated student, who wishes to remain anonymous, decided to annoy his floormate to entertain himself and the floormate, angry and also intoxicated, called Safety and Security in response. "I was already sleeping in my room, and then I hear someone banging on my door," the student said.

Beyond Safety and Security

|

One of the questions parents ask most frequently during college visits (after "How much money will you be taking from my wallet?") is "How safe is it on campus?" Unfortunately, in the wake of random acts of violence and school shootings across the country in recent weeks and months, it has become increasingly apparent that no campus is truly safe. From last month's shooting at Northern Illinois University -- in which a gunman open fired on students during a geology lecture, killing five people before turning the gun on himself -- to the massacre at Virginia Tech less than one year ago, deadly violence has touched colleges across the country.
