By KENNETH GREEN
Associate News Editor
At a special Centennial acticity
last night in the Student Center,
Dr. Clarence C. Little denied the

relationship between smoking
and cancer.
Dr. Little, scientific director
of the Council for Tobacco Research, spoke at the first of 17
special Centennial projects under-talebu UK and the Greater
Bluegrass Centennial Committee.
He questioned the validity
of the data the attackers on the
tobacco industry have presented,
and said, "It is incontrovertibly
true that smoking is not the
basic or simple cause" of cancer.
Dr. Little pointed out that
"all of the diseases in which
tobacco has been statistically involved occur extensively in
as well as in smokers."
Dr. Little's comments seemed
an answer to the National Interagency Council on Smoking and
Health's call for a more vigorous attack on smoking two days
ago.
That call came on the first
anniversary of Surgeon General
Luther Terry's report connecting
cancer with smoking.
"We are not dealing with a
specific or isolated factor as is
sometimes claimed, .but with a
complex of factors characteristic
of the many and diverse challenges presented by modem living to the equally complex and
diversified millions of human beings who encounter and who react to them individually and
differently," Dr. Little said.
Other factors which must be
taken into consideration, he said,
were "diet, exposure to irradiation, previous infections, air pollutants, stress, tenstion, rate of
physiological aging, sex and other
hormones, and above all, the inherent characteristics of the individual which constantly and importantly affect his tempo and
pattern of living in response to his
life experiences."

THE BERKELEY STORY:
what action should be taken.
Dr. Meyerson, 42, a former
Harvard professor, was appointed
acting chancellor after Strong requested an "indefinite leave of
absence" because of poor health.
He has been under treatment for
a gall bladder inflamation for
several weeks.
As one of his first acts, the
new chancellor announced that a
Free Speech Movement rally
scheduled for Jan. 4, was legal
under university rules, and provided the students with a university public address system for
use at the gathering.
FSM leader Mario Savio
termed the appointment of Chancellor Meyerson a "hopeful sign,"
and said the new chancellor
seems to understand the issues.
He added, however, that "the

change of one person is hardly
enough to solve the problem."
At the rally, which was attended by some 3,000 persons who
stood in a driving rain, FSM
leaders said they would await
the reports of the two committees
established by the regents before
taking any more direct action.
"If we get a set of the final
regulations that do not conform to
the faculty (academic senate) resolutions of Dec. 8, then will be
the time for action," Savio said.
The faculty, by. a vote of

It also asked for final responsibility for student discipline in
cases growing out of student political involvement, and for amnesty for the students involved in
the present controversy.
The regents, howevw, declined to act on the faculty proposals at their December meeting,
and set up their two committees
instead.
They did not discuss the proposals of the Senate in their open
meeting, however they did meet
for several hours in closed executive session.
In a four point statement, the
regents said the administration
was directed to preserve law and
order, to "take the necessary steps
to insure orderly pursuit of its
