Hundreds of fish in the Mary's River in
Oregon have been killed as a result of a manure
spill blamed on Oregon State University.
The manure spill occurred in July and went
undetected until dead trout, crayfish and non
game fish were found floating belly-up in pools in
the tributaries of the Mary's River
Department of Environmental Quality of
ficials said the fish kill was caused by the spilling
of a mixture of cow manure and water from a
research dairy farm on the OSU campus. The
head of OSU's Animal Sciences Department said
a valve on a pipe used for spraying the manure on
cornfields was accidentally left open, allowing the
manure mixture to reach Oak Creek
The manure suffocated the fish by depleting
the oxygen dissolved in the stream water

and colleagues of the former president, is closing
The college has been operating as one of 10
colleges of the Rochester Institute of Technology
since 1979 It has lost $5 7 million in the past three
years

for the fall at the four-year iiberal arts college will
have to find another college to attend

The Media Must Obey Party. That's the
headline for a Chinese Communist Party directive
relevant to "Propaganda in periodicals, news
papers and radio broadcasts" coming out of
mainland China
The Party decided to "request " that per
iodicals, newspapers, radio and television "must
conform strictly” to the policies and directives of
the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh CCP
and thereafter in carrying on propaganda
The directive went on to say that from then
on, the most important missions of the media were
to protect and develop a politcal situation of
stability and solidarity and to guarantee that the
people's economy will go on to further readjust
ment and smooth progress.
The media is also "requested" that they
"must not rock the boat."

The University of Florida is a “different” sort
of university. An oversight is being blamed for the
Health Center's depositing of embalmed horses'
legs, cut at the hip, in an open barrel
Complaints weren't caused primarily by the
unsightly barrel of horses' legs in the open court
yard Complaints were mostly concerned that the
legs were saturated with a suspected carcinogen
often used for embalming
Officials said the slip-up occurred when
someone forgot' to take the horses' legs to the
College of Veterinary Medicine for incineration.
The horses' legs were used in a freshman
veterinary anatomy course

$88,000

the charges But soon other media in northern
Illinois picked up the story Subsequent inves
tigations revealed that one football recruit ob

A gasoline bomb gutted a downtown Zurich.
Switzerland McDonald's restaurant No one was
injured in what Zurich police call an attack by
members of the city's "disenchanted youth
movement
A police spokesman reported the window
panes of the American fast-food restaurant had
already been the target of rock-throwing youths
several times last year.
Zurich has been the scene of 13 months of
often violent "youth unrest" ending last summer.
The worst riots and bombings occurred in the
summer of 1980 and caused nearly $12 million in
property damage and sales losses to the city. The
riots were prompted by the closing of a youth
center, which was alleged by city officials to have
become a haven for drug addicts and dealers.
