Coni-,. low United Press International HONOLULU — A strike by 7,700 government blue-collar work ers forced the state Department of Education to order 32 schools to op erate on a 2-hour daily schedule be ginning Thursday because of un sanitary lavatories. School superintendent Charles Clark said Wednesday the depart ment was “experiencing problems in keeping school restrooms open,” because of the lack of custodial serv ices caused by the strike, called Monday by the United Public Workers union. Clark said under the modified 2-hour day, students must report to school for general instruction and homework assignments. More schools might be added to the 2-hour schedule if restroom condi tions there worsen, he said. Included in the reduced schedules are 10 high schools and five intermediate schools. There are 28 public schools in the state. Elsewhere trash is piled up on si^walks, but residents have been able to get rid of their garbage by hauling it to any of three landfills.

United Press International BATON ROUGE, La. — William Shakespeare could have learned a thing or two about what’s in a name from None of the Above or Dr. X. He also would have learned a lot about Louisiana politics. None of the Above is a candidate for governor. Haywood “Dr. X” Fair is seeking a third term on the Madi son Parish police jury. Louisiana candidates know bizarre names and nicknames trans late to instant recognition and famil iarity that can add up to extra votes. That is why hundreds of politi cians put their nicknames on elec tion ballots — whether they’re as common and obvious as “Eddie” or as bizarre as “Fly-Ro.” The roster for this Saturday’s statewide elec tion has its share of strange names. Aside from the commonplace short forms of given names, the nicknames on Saturday’s ballots suggest occupations, describe phys ical characteristics, and often are humorous. Some nicknames are used in lieu of long-unused formal names that might seem pretentious. Hence candidate for governor Edgerton Louis Henry becomes simply E.L. “Bubba” Henry. One of his oppo nents is Edgar G. “Sonny” Mouton. Many nicknames simply are bizarre, such as: —Stanley “Lolly Pop” Bazile, a candidate for constable in St. James Parish. — Doyle “Popcorn” Scaife, of Many, who is seeking thek House seat of H.M. “Mull] of Coushatta. —Leslie “Fly-Ro’’ didate for constable in Coupee Parish, home of Nolan “Chuck" Jarreauani|> “We t ] “Cow Jarreau. — Harry J. “Soup” White Castle, a candidate!' y a ffi e House, is taking full advanti nickname.
