Intestinal bypass surgery
— performed on about 3,000
Americans each year since
the ’60s — involves tying off
part of the small intestine to

“We believe that bypass
surgery overwhelms the
digestive system,” Utsinger
said. "It seems that in a
desperate attempt to do the
job of absorbing digested
food, the blood also absorbs
organisms which normally
would remain in the bowel.
These organisms circulate
thioughout the body and
then settle into joints and
other organs and tissues,
leading to damage.”
Patients who suffer from
“bypass disease" can relieve
the problem by having
sutures removed and the
intestine returned to full size.

Texas State Technical
Institutes' faculty and staff
members were voted a pay
increase for the 1981 fiscal
year by the TSTI Board of
Regents today.
Regents, meeting on the
TSTI-Sweetwater campus,
approved a 5.1 percent
wage hike for staff
members and a 3 percent
plus $600 raise for faculty.
The minimum wage for
TSTI employees as of
September 1. 1980. was set
at $3.35 per hour by
regents.

been used on more than
40,000 Americans. But the
problems are emerging only
now because there is a two-
to-six year delay between the
operation and onset of
disease, Utsinger said.
“Over the next month or
two, people will accept the
premise that the operation
should be discontinued," he
said. "The trend will then be

The Jordan case arose last
summer while Steven Rubell
and other owners of Studio
54, a New York night club,
were under investigation for
evading federal income taxes
on more than $2.5 million in
receipts. During plea
bargaining with prosecutors.
Rubell — who is now serving
a prison term for tax evasion
— said Jordan had used
cocaine while at Studio 54.
Jordan acknowledged
visiting the night club with
friends June 27, 1978, but
denied ever having used
cocaine.
Attorney General Ben-
jamin Civiletti ordered an
investigation of the Studio 54
matter and later expanded it
to cover allegations that

Austin said council
members were given a
preview of the NCRP fin-
dings in a stormy two-hour
meeting Tuesday. He said
the report will “make
something of a flap here
because many foundations
are given a zero rating and
they don’t think they deserve
it.”
Of 13 Texas foundations
surveyed, six received zeros,
the highest percentage in the
country. Only one — The
Moody Foundation in
Galveston — got an "ac-
ceptable” score of 59.
“We have no quarrel with
public accountability,” said
Granville Austin, council
spokesman. “And some
parts of the NCRP report are
excellent."
"You do have some council
members with a ’the public
be damned' attitude. and
some are shy about publicity
for their good works,” he
said. “But most others
believe strongly in ac-
workers,” and that "the
large majority of foundation
funds go to long-established,
relatively well-known
charities with very traditional
approaches to social
problems.”

any complications that
develop from new
techniques.
"The patient needs to be
told how highly experimental
these operations are,” he
added. “They are told on one
hand that being overweight
is bad, but they need to know
more about the operation
being done,”
Among the persons to have
had intestinal bypass surgery
is trumpeter Al Hirt. He said
his weight had gone from 333
pounds to 290 pounds within
a month and a half of the
operation in 1972.
DALLAS (AP) — More
than half of the nation's
charitable foundations are so
secretive about their
operations that they refuse to
provide “minimally ac-
ceptable” information about
themselves, says a com-
mittee which spent four years
trying to get the data.
Nearly one-third of the 208
foundations surveyed
refused to give any in-
formation at all. and 13 have
unlisted numbers, according
to a report released Wed-
nesday by the National
Committee for Responsive
Philanthropy.
All the foundations
covered in the report have
assets of $25 million or more,
the study said.
"We think the findings of
this study are a little
astounding even for those of
us who have experienced
how difficult it is to get in-
formation about many
foundations.” said Robert
Bothwell, the committee's
executive director.
The NCRP study involved
requesting from the foun-
dations information about
their grants, finances and,
governance.
The NCRP describes itself
as a coalition of 120
organizations and individuals
concerned because private
philanthropy is "not very
responsive to new charities."
“We believe this study
illustrates an attitude that is
pervasive within the foun-
dation world: that foun-
dations do not need to reach
out to the public ... that
foundations do not have to

WASHINGTON (AP) —
The Hamilton Jordan
cocaine-snorting case is over,
leaving Jordan exuberant
and some legal authorities
troubled about the proper
way to investigate allegations
against high public officials.
In a 53-page report issued
Wednesday, special
prosecutor Arthur Christy
concluded that “there is
insufficient evidence to
warrant the bringing of
criminal charges" against
the White House chief of
staff.
Moreover. Christy
described Jordan's accusers
in terms that cast doubt on
their credibility.
The Christy report
prompted a champagne
celebration at the White
House with President Carter
hugging Jordan in
congratulations and Jordan
asserting that the result
vindicates his faith in the
legal system.
The case went to a special
prosecutor because of the
Watergate-inspired Ethics in
Government Act. Some legal
authorities suggest the
statute may encourage
frivolous allegations against
well-known public officials,
allegations of a type that
would be more quickly
dismissed in the normal
investigative process.
