national Lincoln-Mercury coigar killed after attacking child on neck United Press International PITTSBURGH — The Lin coln-Mercury cougar was shot to death Saturday after the animal attacked and seriously injured a 9-year-old boy during an auto mobile show. Police said the 130-pound uma, named Tom-Tom, was eing led on a leash through the back door of the David L. Lawr ence Convention Center by its owner, Bob Steele of Florida, shortly before the attack on James Seals of suburban Upper Saint Clair. The cat, whose fierce roar highlighted Lincoln-Mercury promotions across the country as well as a national television commercial, was to be part of the car company’s display at the show. Steele said he noticed some boys running nearby as he opened the door and warned security guards around him to “watch that boy.” He said Seals seemed to “ruriwht under him (the cougar).” Police said boy never touched the an^al, but the animal reacted by r abbing him around the neck n d pinning him to the floor, busing to let g°- Eyewitnesses tcj police Steele and other bysnders be gan kicking the anirif and hit ting it with a stick in, fruitless attempt to free the b^ Steele reportedly jiyped on Monday Night Madness Sit back and enjoy the evening with a hot, delicious pizza delivered right to your door!

When that failed, an off-duty police officer standing nearby shot the cougar to death. “If people hadn’t gathered around and kicked the animal, I could have gotten him to let go,” said a shaken Steele, who added it was the first injury he had in 10 years of training dangerous animals. “They only made things a lot worse.” As police officer Arthur Banze fired the shot that killed the cougar, he was attacked by two of the animal’s trainers who were arrested. Seals was taken to Allegheny General Hospital, where he was listed in serious condition. A hospital spokeswoman said the child was bitten and clawed “in the neck area,” but refused to elaborate on the extent of the injuries.

Our future as an industrial society depends on our ability to find more efficient ways to use our limited fuel resources. At Fluor, we are working hard to find the answers. For over 60 years, we have helped the energy industries by designing and building modern refining, petrochemical, chemical and natural gas facilities. During that time, Fluor engineers have been in the forefront of energy related technology. At present, we are applying new methodology in the extraction of oil from tar sands and shale, coal gasification and the refining of high sulphur feedstocks. This is a challenging, exciting time for engineers who are interested in solving complex problems. Graduates with a degree in Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical, or Civil Engineering or Building Construction or Computer Sciences are invited to help us shape the future of energy technology.

A United Press Interna tional survey showed Satur day that some tuitions will hit $12,000 a year in the 1982-83 school year. If the prices keep going up the cost of four years of col lege will be more than $50,000 by 1985 at the most expensive schools. For bargain hunters, there are the state universities such as those in Texas — heavily subsidized by state funds — where the appropriation per student in a public university is $4,354. The cost to the student is $4 a credit or $120 for a full load of 30 credits during the school year. The state appropriations E er student at the public col- :ges in the nation range from a high of $ 12,712 in Alaska to a low of $ 1,943 in New Hamp shire. At many other state univer sities, increases are expected due to state budget cutbacks, said James Trulove, editor of “Memo to College Presidents” put out by the American Asso ciation of State Colleges and Universities. In the academic stratos- E here, meanwhile, all-time igh bills in the $12,000 ball park are projected mostly at the expensive private schools such as Yale University and Stanford University. There are dozens of such schools across America. The figure for four years covers tuition, room and board and miscellaneous ex penses.
