IN GOD WE MUST TRUST
THE PR 0 VIDER
By SHORTFELLOW BULLICK
How on earth do you think we would
survive
if God didn't provide to keep all life
alive
He gives us each day with the sun so
bright
and a refreshing rest, which follows
by night
Did you ever stop to think who put it
up there
or the breezes that blow and pro-
duces our air
God knew what was needed for all
things that live
and all these things needed, he so
graciously gives
He puts you here with a mind of your
own
and provides a place that each calls
his home
The lumber from trees, or bricks
from the clay
all provided by God in his most
lovable way
All through the ages man has be-
lieved in Him
but keeps on committing to his world
of sin
So all bow your head and offer your
prayer
to the God Almighty that will always
be there.

P.J. Wheat
seeks re-election
William "Bill" Wheat Sr. announces
his candidacy for re-election for
District 9 Police Juror.
Wheat has served as a full-time
police juror for the past four years
and plans to continue in this role if
re-elected. "'My wish is to listen to the
peoples' needs and serve you as best
as possible. I will always be available
to the people of District 9 and
throughout the parish, and ready to
work with you to solve our
problems"
Wheat is currently serving as Presi-
dent of the Drainage Board and
Vice-President of the Tangipahoa
Parish Police Jury. He is-also chair-
man of the Bridge Construction

efforts to bring new bridges to the

tion of 12 new bridges already ap-
proved, including two in District 9
now under contract.
There is a lot of hard work to be
done for District 9 and Tangipahoa
Parish and I am confident that with
your help we can solve many of the
problems that arise.
FOWLER WORRIED ABOUT
REAPPORTIONMENT PROBLEMS
IN 1983
GUBERNATORIAL ELECTION
BATON ROUGE --- Problems oc-
curring because of reapportionment
at the local level has Commissioner
of Elections Jerry Fowler worried
about the 1983 gubernatorial elec-
tion.
"At the present time there are
several parishes in the state in which
the police jury, parish council or
justice of the peace and constable
reapportionment plans are still pend-
ing United States Justice Depart-
ment approval," Fowler explained.
Caddo, Madison. St. Helena. and
St. Mary parishes are under restrain-
ing orders on their police jury or
parish council elections pending
further developments. Some par-
ishes are qualifying candidates either
under the old plan because the new
reapportionment plan has not been
approved or under the new plan
which is still pending approval.
The police jury or parish council
reapportionment plans also affect the
election of the parish executive
committees, both democratic and
republican. Except in Jefferson and
Orleans parishes, the law provides
that committee members are elected
the same as members of the parish
governing authority. Orleans parish
committee has their election a the
City of New Orleans municipal
election.
Numerous changes have occurred
in wards, districts, and precinct lines
because of reapportionment. These
changes affect all offices not elected
parishwide.
"Several of the registrars of voters
in the state are in the process of
updating their registration records
according to the new reapportion-
ment plans," Fowler added. In addi-
tion, the Louisiana state senate and
house of representatives will have
their first election under their new
reapportionment plan. The demo-
cratic and republican state central
committees will also be elected from
the new house of representatives
districts.
"My office is redoubling its efforts to
minimize any problems and confu-
sion that may occur on election day
because of reapportionment changes
by working closely with local offi-
cials," Fowler concluded.

SLU prof studies genetics at Harva
New advances in molecular biology
and genetics may have a revolution-
ary impact on society in the near
future, according to a SLU microbi-
ologist.
E,h', Ed'vard Nelson, an SLJ2kprofes-
sor who recently completed a cOurse
at the Harvard Medical School on
"Microbial and Molecular Genetics:
Biotechnical Advances." believes
that portions of plant, animal or
human cells taken for the purpose of
developing new bacteria could have
a variety of economic, health and
medical influences on society
Nelson gained most of his informa-
tion from the study, attended by over
150 physicians and Ph Ds from
throughout the United States, in-
cluding Dr, David Baltimore. a
Nobel Prize winner in medicine.
Southeastern funded Nelson's partic-
ipation through a Title III grant
received by the university, part of
which is to upgrade science instruc-
tion.
"Genetic engineering is here and
the impact of the technique on
society is certain to be great.'" Nelson
said.
Nelson reported that most of the
work being clone involves taking
genes, or DNA pieces from plant,
animal or human cells, inserting
them into a vector, or another piece
of DNA called a virus, and using this
virus to carry the DNA into a
bacterium. The bacteria which then
carry the foreign DNA will produce
large amounts of the protein that the
gene codes for.
"'The process has already been used
with some human products that are
used in medical treatment, such as
insulin, interferon and growth hor-
mone." Nelson said. "'By producing
these oroducts in bacteria, the cost
should be greatly reduced. In the
near future, many more new advan-
ces in molecular biology and prod-
ucts will be synthezied in this way."
There are many other potential uses
for the findings in the genetics field.
Some scientists are working on pro-
ducing new types of bacteria which
will fix nitrogen and make the soil
more fertile without the addition of
expensive fertilizer, which could have
a tremendous impact on world food
production.
Other microorganisms
developed to degrade
tants and screen for
compounds.
"In the area of medicine,
someday see vaccines for
such as gonnorhea, he
and even the common
