Mrs.    Muftic   Candidate   At-Large
On January 9, Felicia Muftic
announced her candidacy for
an at large position on city
council. She made her
announcement on a tramway '
bus as a means of demonstrating what she believes to be the
major problem facing Denver
— the lack of an adequate
mass transportation system.
Mrs. Muftic believes that the
Denver transit problem underlies some of the problems of
pollution, employment, and
consumers. As a city council
member, she would promote a
good mass transportation system and she would support the
strongest measures possible to
combat industrial and auto pollution.
For the past several years,
Mrs. Muftic has devoted her
energies to problems concerning Denver consumers.
In 1968 and 1969 she led
sixty women in a survey of
grocery prices in forty stores
throughout Denver. The survey
revealed that residents of low-
income areas were paying more
for their groceries.
In the fall of 1970, Mrs.
Muftic was the leading advocate of open dating and unit
pricing at the State House
Conference on Food, Nutrition
and Health at Ft. Collins. Unit
pricing is the listing of grocery
prices per ounce or other unit
and open dating is dating perishables so customers can read
them.
She is currently a consumer
representative with the Colorado Office of Comprehensive
Health Planning and she is the
Consumer Affairs Chairman of
the Colorado Democratic Party.
Mrs. Muftic has a degree in
political science from
Northwestern University. She
is the mother of three children,
married to Michael Muftic,
Denver obstetrician and gynecologist, and is 33 years old.

Drug Education Program
at  Baker Jr. High
During the month of February, the Science Department
under the direction of Mr.
Donn Manly instructed Baker
students about the dangers of
drug abuse. Many methods and
aids were used including drug
kits, films, individual projects
and reports, lectures and actual experimentation with live
frogs.
To better understand how
drugs actually react in the
body, students were first given
the opportunity ■ to learn all
about their own body functions
and systems. Dissecting frogs
enabled students to better understand the inside activity
and structure of the human
being.
One of the most fascinating
and convincing experiments is
illustrated in the pictures. Af
ter paralyzing the brain of a
frog, students dissected a live
frog exposing the heart which
was active and beating.
Various drugs were placed directly on the heart so that
students could observe the
heart's reaction to the drugs.
The "uppers" or amphetamines
caused the heart to move very
rapidly while the "downers" or
barbiturates caused the heart
to blow up like a balloon in its
struggle to beat.
"Although this experiment
was extremely exciting to the
students," stated Mr. Gallegos,
the school's coordinator, "it is
our hope that students were
convinced that drugs do bring
about changes in the body activity and that drug abuse can
be very destructive to youngsters, expecially during their
adolescent period of life."
Mr. Kennison shows the students the internal part of a frog
and explains its similarity to the human being. Left to right
are Debbie Boyd, Mr. Jack Kennison, Teresa \)rtiz, Yvonne
Braxton, Margorie Casados, and Marvin Trujillo.
