SEMINOLE, Okla.— A
heroine last week, Sasha now is
not on good terms with city offi
cials.
Without twitching a whisker
or lifting a paw, the 150-pound
Asian leopard scared off a burg
lar at the home of her master,
Court Egger, Feb. 9.
But that stint as a crime fight
er also got Sasha and Egger in
trouble, since the 16 month-old
cat escaped through a door left
open by the horrified burglar.
Sasha did not prowl far from
home and caused no trouble, yet
neighbors reported the unex
pected visitor to police and
gained the feline some un
wanted notoriety.
City officials, invoking a
municipal ordinance, told Sasha
to get out of town by sundown
March 12.
Egger has vowed to fight the
eviction notice and said he will

wild animal.
“She doesn’t know how to
kill,” said Egger, who has cared

for Sasha since she was a 3-day-
old kitten. “She doesn’t know
how to hunt. She couldn’t live in
the wild.”
Sasha is trained to use a litter
box and is comfortable around
people, dogs and farm animals,
Egger said. She’s probably more
domestic than a cow, sheep or
horse, he said.
The seven-foot long leopard
also has been declawed.
Seminole officials who have
met Sasha acknowledge that she
is a nice cat, but say they must
follow city codes.
“It is a real friendly animal,
but there’s always a danger,”
City Housing Inspector Paul
Staley said. “You can’t eliminate
that natural instinct in them.
“We might as well not have
the ordinance if we don’t en
force it. You’ve got the threat of
somebody maybe hitting at it
(leopard) and upsetting it. It
could scare an older person.”

SHAPE
THE FUTURE
OF ENERGY
TECHNOLOGY
It is a tall order. Yet, it is a challenge that must be met.
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 orBuilding
Construction are invited to help us shape the future of
energy technology. For complete career information,

nomy to create thousands of jobs
for Americans, Kay Sugahara, a
Japanese-American business
man said Saturday.
Sugahara, the head of Fair-
field-Maxwell Ltd., a conglom
erate of 40 U.S. corporations,
said the proposed project would
relieve some of the pressures on
Japan to reduce its huge trade
surplus with the United States.
He said it also would improve
the Japanese image in America.
“We are talking about $10
billion,” Sugahara said.
“This substantial infusion of
money is intended to create jobs
for Americans.”
If the project goes through it
would be the first time in mod
ern history for a foreign nation
to provide economic assistance
to the United States.
The United States has been a
major source of foreign aid since
World War II, pumping billions
of dollars into war-ravaged
Europe under the Marshall
Plan.
Sugahara declined to name
the corporations he said were
contemplating the aid package.
