Palestinian students protest in Elouston United Press International HOUSTON — About 400 Palestinian students, carrying a black coffin, flowers and signs denouncing Israel, staged a silent protest through the downtown area Wednes day to show their grief over the recent massacre of more than 1,000 Palestinian re fugees in Beirut. “What can you say after so many are killed? You’re sor ry? That’s not enough,” said Jomana Amara, spokes woman for the General Union of Palestine Students, which organized the protest demon stration. “These were atrocities, people were brutally killed,” Amara said. “It’s not that the Israelis are protecting the world from terrorists. The PLO is gone. These were peo ple, not rats or roaches. It’s not okay to kill men, women or children.” Officials in Beirut said more than 1,000 men, women and children were killed in re fugee camps in that war- scarred city last week. Dressed in black; some of the silent demonstrators car ried a black coffin draped with the green, red and white flag of the Palestinians, Other protestors, including busi nessmen, women and chil dren, carried signs which said “stop killing our children” and “Hitler and Begin ar6 the same — the only difference is the name.” forces into'. send peace Lebanon.)” The downtown demonstra ! lion was the second such pro test in Houston in less than a , day.

Honored state rodents run on the rampage United Press International DALLAS — A colony of armadillos is attacking the well- manicured lawns in two suburbs and residents are trying apples, shrimp and aluminum pie plates to get rid of them.
