Cop discovers pot "pipeline’
United Press International
PATTERSON, La. — A sheriff’s of
ficer on routine patrol Sunday
stumbled across six men unloading
about 10 tons of marijuana from a
leaking shrimp boat in a remote area
of coastal Louisiana.
when deputy Dan Irwin ran across
them on a routine patrol.
The weed had an estimated street
value of $8 million, St. Mary Parish
Sherifl Chester Baudoin said.
The arrested men were unloading
bales of marijuana from a 62-foot
shrimp boat, the M.V. Kenny,
The area where the seizure oc
curred is part of the “Louisiana
pipeline, a coastal section popular
with drug smugglers because of its
accessibility from the Gulf of Mexico
along hidden bayous and bays.
When Irwin came across the sus
pects, they fled into a wooded area.
Two helicopters and four-wheel-
drive vehicles were used by sheriff’s
deputies and state police in a search
for the men. They were arrested
several hours later.
The sheriff said 125 bales of
marijuana were unloaded at the
Cotton Road Landing. Another 103
bales were taken from the boat after
it was moved to neighboring
Morgan City.
Bond was set by a judge at
$200,000 each and they were held in
the St. Mary Parish jail on felony
charges of possession of marijuana
with intent to distribute.

Bread polished
same old songs
Re.
By STEVE LEE
Battalion Campus Editor
Chalk one up for apple pie,
motherhood, and AM radio. David
Gates and Bread are back with a new
look but, amazingly, the same
sound.
And the group certainly didn’t dis
appoint a packed G. Rollie White
Coliseum audience Thursday night.
The group played what the crowd
wanted to hear — mainly a greatest
hits collection of songs many hadn’t
heard since junior high or high
school days. Aside from a few other

sitions, that is all they played.
The sound was very much like the
original cuts of the early seventies,
except for an occasional rush of elec-
tricity from lead guitarist Bill Ham,
or a flute or saxaphone from brother
Warren Ham. But the sound was so
much the same that Town Hall might
as well had been sitting up there on
stage playing old Bread albums
(with, of course, our famous C. Rol
lie acoustics).
BUT, THE PERFORMANCE
wasn’t as bland as all that. The mem
bers of Bread are seasoned perfor
mers, or, in one word — polished.
David Cates came out on stage
displaying a baby-faced grin and
looking like the all-American high
school sophomore. I was im
mediately reminded of what a disc
jockey remarked when Bread was at
its peak. He made the observation
that while Donny Osmond’s voice
was getting lower, David Gates

voice was getting higher. I soon re
gretted having placed Gates in the
same reference with Donny Os
mond.
Gates is in perfect control while on
stage. He conversed with the crowd,
introduced many of his songs and ex
plained how they were conceived.
