Battalion/Page 5 June 16, 1982 Police harvest marijuana on paper company grounds United Press International KOUNTZE — Hardin Coun ty police officers have harvested two pickup truckloads of mari juana found growing on land owned by a paper company. Sheriff H.R. Holzapfel said Monday the marijuana was planted on windrows left after timber was cut from the land owned by the St. Regis Paper Co. “The tops were already cut out of the plants. We know that they’ve already been harvested once,” Holzapfel said. Members of a local hunting club spotted the plants and noti fied authorities last week. The harvested plants could have yielded about 150 pounds of pot, Holzapfel said. education; wants to [ to try to!| mt to lean A home for the homeless staff photo by David Fisher nformat::jjgj e Douthitt, left, and Sherry Brown discuss Sherri for the Ste PP in g Stone, a proposed foster home/halfway house for Brazos County teenagers.

The expedition, which ended March 9, also produced evi dence of the first mossasaur, a marine lizard that lived 70 mil lion years ago, the fossil bones of a giant, 6-foot tall penguin, skeletons of large marine re ptiles and the first evidence of bony fishes of the late Cre taceous period. Chatterjee, who said the dis coveries should present an accu rate picture of animal and plant life on the continent before the onset of glacial conditions, cal led Seymour Island a fascinating place. “You can see the extinction on this small island,” he said. “On one side of the island, there are large, prehistoric reptiles and on the other side, only smaller, later animals.” He also said the island pre sented a unique place in which to study the theory that meteorites crashing into the earth caused the demise of the giant animals. Chatterjee, who alsojoined an expedition with a team from the University of Maine studying glacial deposits in Antarctica’s Dry Valley, said he planned to return the frozen continent this fall. ia . “different spokes for different folks” 403 University (Northgate) Open 10-7 Mon.-Fri. 10-5 Sat. 846-BIKE He said he believed that rock deposits 10,0()0 feet thick in the Gondwana strata hold evidence that Antarctica was alsojoined to India in the distant past.
