Messages could travel by meteor United Press International Many of America’s military communications depend on functioning satellites to relay signals from one part of the world to another — but during wartime, satellites could be des troyed by an enemy. The solution to this problem, reports the current issue of Sci ence Digest, is to send messages by meteor. While seemingly complex, this communications technique actually is rather simple in prin ciple. As a meteor rockets through the atmosphere, it leaves behind a cloud of ionized particles. This energized trail can be used as a mirror off which radio signals can be bounced and transmitted to distant re ceivers. Though the ion trail lasts only about a second, that is plenty of time to send and re ceive computerized messages that flash back and forth at the speed of light. More and more, scientists say, meteors will help Earth- bound communications stations to transmit data — without re liance on vulnerable satellites. See ya later, ’gator United Press International WILMINGTON, N.C. — Residents of an apartment complex had good cause to be concerned when they saw a strange creature lurking in a storm drain — it turned out to be an 8-foot-long, 160-pound alligator. One resident said children in the area apparently knew about the gator and may even have been feeding it before it decided to stick its head out of the sewer Sunday and author ities were summoned. The alligator, which appa rently wandered into the sew er system from nearby Green field Lake, was taken to a wild life preserve in Pender Coun ty after four wildlife officers hauled him out of the drain. With about 75 people watching, the officers first fas tened a wire noose around the gator’s mouth, then added electrical tape to make sure its jaws would not clamp down on an unprotected arm or leg before pulling it out of the sewer with a rope. Wildlife officer Phil Stone said alligators are not danger ous in the wild, but when they get used to being around peo ple they can become danger ous if provoked. “If you provoke them they are unpredictable, more or less like a shark, a feeding machine,” Stone said. Pope asks Christians, Jews to seek harmony United Press International VATICAN CITY — Pope John Paul II is calling for peace and understanding between Christians and Jews to overcome past “misunderstandings, errors and even insults.” The pope made the state ment Saturday to a conference of specialists in Chrisdan-Jewish relations. The group included about 40 Catholic bishops and representatives from other Christian denominations. During his special audience, the pope also cited the Jewish roots of Catholic rituals and noted the considerable common spiritual heritage between Jews and Catholics. “If there have been in the past misunderstandings, errors and even insults in the relations between Catholics and Jews,” the pope said, “we must now overcome these with under standing, in peace and in recip rocal esteem. “The relations between the two communities have been characterized by misunder standings and resentments which we know well. The terri ble persecutions suffered by the Jews at various periods in his tory have opened eyes and dis turbed so many hearts. “And because of that Christ ians are on the right path, that of justice and fraternity, when they seek, with respect and persever ance, to find themselves again with their Semitic brothers gathered around the common heritage.” The conference was orga nized by the Vatican Commis sion for Religious Relations with 4 WOMEN A \ STUDENTS ) ORGANIZATION^ Hebrewism and was attended by churches and the Geneva representatives of the Ortho- Ecumenical Council, in addition dox, Anglican and Lutheran to the Catholic bishops. yi s Wednesday Nlarch 10 3§t-7:30 p.m. i Room #204 C Library Z V 4 ^ MMM/Y/ | Speaker from „ I BABES ORGANIZATION •SUM Our Tents come in all shapes and sizes.
