Senior interview sign-ups will
be on the first and second floors
of Rudder Tower beginning
Monday.
Permission for using the first
floor of Rudder was granted
Wednesday by the Office of
School Relations. In the past,
sign-ups have been held on the
second floor of Rudder and in
the Placement Center’s lobby on
the tenth floor.
Placement Director Louis
Van Pelt said use of the first
floor will allow seniors to be di
vided equally between each
floor, alleviating congestion.

large number of seniors causes a
space problem.
About 125 of the 500 seniors
can sign up in the Placement
Center’s lobby at one time, he
said. Therefore, the remaining
375 seniors have been register
ing on the second floor.
If a student is unable to sign
up for an interview, he can sign
an overflow list, assistant dire
ctor Judy Vulliet said. The com

on the overflow lists. The com

for another full day of inter

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.”

“Israel claims it’s doing

Honored state rodents

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.
The normally timid rodents,
which make their forays during
the night, seem to have become
bolder and have left lawns look

cleats worked out on it, residents
complain.
, “We’ve tried everything but
Lone Star beer (a reference to a
television commercial) as bait,”
said Jack Griffin, animal control
supervisor in Richardson. “Ev
ery time we send a trap out of
here, we tell them to try some
thing different.”
Baits ranging from apples to
shrimps have been tried but resi
dents say the armadillos are af

The rodents also are attack
ing lawns in neighboring Plano.
Some experts blame the
armadillo siege on the same peo

“The reason they are having
problems in Plano is they are ex

Department. “They’re building
