MORE IMPORTED CRUDE
OIL and petroleum products will
be used in 1977 by the United
States than in 1976, the Oil and
Gas Journal predicted yesterday.
The United States will demand
12.6 per cent more crude oil and
petroleum products. Industry
sources estimated natural gas
consumption for space heating
through December was up 35.7
per cent from a year ago.
MARIJUANA, packaged in
burlap sacks and plastic trash
bags, was estimated to be worth
$1 million after authorities
seized the haul yesterday at a
private home near Conifer,
Colo. Six suspects were arrested
at the time of the seizure and are
being held on conspiracy
charges.
ABOUT 10 PER CENT of the
total number of workers em
ployed nationwide in basic steel
were off the job as of yesterday,
according to the American Iron
& Steel Institute. The layoff was
because of sharp reduction in
natural gas due to halted naviga
tion on ice-covered rivers. One
of the hardest hit mills was the
U.S. Steel Corporation’s Fair-
field Works in Alabama, where
operations may not be able to re
sume until March.
FEARFUL OF THE ORDEAL
of a second trial, singer Claudine

was sentenced Monday to 30
days in the county jail.
LIQUOR BY THE DRINK is
again being reconsidered this
year by the Kansas Legislature.
Both sides on the liquor-by-
the-drink issue say the booze bill
will never float in the legislature,
where a two-thirds vote of each
house is necessary to place the
amendment on the ballot. The
Rev. Richard Taylor, president
of the Kansas United Dry
Forces, said lawmakers worry
about re-election if they vote lor
liberalizing state liquor laws
TWO-STORY-HIGH SNOW
DRIFTS were piled up over
parts of the snowbound North
east today as new blizzards
deepened a cold-triggered
energy crisis that could cripple
U.S. industry until siimmo
More than 2M2-inilhon workers
are idle and at least 70 persons
have been killed in seven states
by the latest onslaught of snow
and bitter cold.
World
SNOOPY, the flop-earred
beagle from the Peanuts cartoon
by Charles Schultz, became the
first character to be televised in
color yesterday in Italy. Italy is
the last European Common
Market country to begin color
transmissions.
ARRIVING IN LONDON to
day, U.N. Ambassador Andrew
Young started his first diplomatic
mission for the Carter adminis
tration. Young planned a meet
ing today with Ivor Richard,
Britain’s chief negotiator in the
deadlocked Geneva talks on the
future of white-ruled Rhodesia.
Student newsletter is now available
“The Addition ’ is a Student Serv
ices publication that contains infor
mation students need hut cannot
always get.
Larry M. Ludewig, editor and
administrative assistant for Student
Services, said the newsletter was
originally eight pages in length with
a production cost of approximately
$850. It was intended only as an an
nual publication.
Both faculty and student response
to the Fall 1976 edition was favor
able, Ludewig said.
“We decided to put out a Spring
edition. It will be a shorter, four-
page version of the original, with
18,000 rather than 20,000 copies
published to compensate for the de
crease of students from the Fall to
Spring semester.
“And if the response for this one
is as good as the response for the last
one,” he said, “we might possibly
consider publishing The Addition’
three times a year—during the Fall,
Spring, and Summer semesters.
The Fall 1976 edition informed
students about changes in campus
pet regulations, VA student regis
tration requirements, and Univer
sity Laundry prices and services.
Ludewig said it was the staffs in
tention to duplicate this type of usa
ble information in the Spring 1977
edition of The Addition.’
“We tried to make ‘The Addition’
light and humorous reading, so it
could be entertaining as well as in
formative for the reader,” Ludewig
said.
Assisting Ludewig were Carolyn
Adair and Donnie Albrecht, publi
cation coordinators. Joe Arredono
designed the layouts and Don Pow
ell designed the newsletter’s art
Copies of “The Addition can be
picked up in the Student Programs
Office (MSC 216), the YMCA Build
ing and in other key buildings
around the University.
