Continued on page 6 1 Current students tell experiences, suggest changes to cluster The 24 members of the Current Student Experience Cluster (CSEC) are learn- ing what it feels like to "walk in the shoes" of students at Washington University. By listening to current students relate their experiences on campus, cluster members hope they can make that walk more com- fortable. The CSEC is one of three clusters that has grown outjof the University Manage- ment Team, a group of about 75 managers from the central administration, also called the Central Fiscal Unit (CFU), and deans from the schools. This cluster's mission, as well as that of the Administrative Services Cluster and the Admission-Financial Aid Cluster, is to find ways to provide better services to students and faculty at less cost. Meeting bi-weekly, the year-old CSEC is in the process of identifying areas that stu- dents believe need improvement and is recommending changes to the management team. Many of the cluster's recommenda- tions already have been implemented. The group is made up of representatives from most of the major administrative offices Paul Discher (left), computer technician, and Robert R.

Nitric oxide nabbed as the culprit of whooping cough Years of searching for the true Aminoguanidine applied to cells treated with especially the violent, spasmodic coughing, of the bacterium's cell wall. But why would a culprit behind whooping cough the Bordetella pertussis toxin interrupts but adult carriers may be spreading the bacterium want to lose part of the very shell have finally paid off as scientists production of nitric oxide and prevents the disease throughout the United States and in that protects it from the outside world? have nabbed nitric oxide, a villain suicide of those cells. other well-vaccinated populations.

Furthermore, he demonstrated that IL-1 can turn on production of nitric oxide (NO) within the TCT-treated cells. Once NO entered the story, Goldman knew he might be on to something. As the current body of NO literature indicates, the molecule has been implicated in everything from neurbtransmis- sionto regulating blood pressure, and it also has a "dark side" — it can kill cells. It's just theory now, but Goldman be- lieves that cells within the normally sterile respiratory tract may sense the presence of minute quantities of the chemicals that compose the bacterial cell wall, and respond by making NO to kill invading bacteria. Bordetella, which sheds its cell wall in amounts far greater than other bacteria, may overwhelm this sensitive system by produc- ing too much signal, leading to tremendous production of NO and ultimately killing cells that are making NO. The theory requires proof, which is what Goldman will continue to work on. In the meantime, his observations on TCT have contributed greatly to understanding the modus operandi of a dangerous human pathogen, and one — with a 95 percent transmission rate — that continues to plague infectious disease practitioners around the country. —Jim Keeley Record As part of the Washington University Perinatal Project, second-year medical student Damla Karsan, left, and instructor Nancy Cooksey, R.N., discuss breast-feeding methods with Tesha Benjamin at St. Louis Regional Medical Center.
