...school year ended, Weiss was triple-timing between lectures, cramming sessions for exams and his extracurricular work as editor of his campus paper, the Daily Bruin. All that recalled a familiar routine to Writer Ed Magnuson, who, as a student at the University of Minnesota 18 years ago, was a reporter for the Minnesota Daily. In those days, the most burning campus issue was not the draft; it was fraternity discrimination-both religious and racial.

Not only are some U.S. cigarette makers continuing to express interest in the filter, but last week both Imperial Tobacco Co. of Canada Ltd. (du Maurier and Player's), and Rothmans of Pall Mall Canada Ltd., negotiated licenses to use the filter. The companies are two of the biggest in Canada, and they...
