The three, one of whom has spent one-third of his year-and- a-half marriage on the billboard, said Friday that they have consi dered calling the contest quits and splitting the profits, includ ing the top prize for the last one on the billboard — an $18,000 mobile hom,e offered by WSAN radio and Love Mobile Homes, both of Allentown. “Right now there is not enough to split,” Ron Kistler, 25, said. “You sell the house and pay taxes and there’s not that much left. We talked about it but de cided not now. “We’re getting along pretty good,” he continued. “It’s more us against the radio station than against each other. The radio station is sort of the guy on top with all the money, and we are sort of three little guys.” “We've become friends up here,” said Mike MacKay, 30. “We’re getting along. We’ve formed a union, the Billboard Sitters of America, Allentown Chapter No. 1. I expect at this point it’s going to go a long way, a couple of years.” Kistler, along with MacKay and Dalton Young, 22, set up housekeeping on the billboard catwalk adjacent to Interstate 22. Under contest rules, they can’t leave the billboard or have visitors closer than 12 feet or they will be eliminated. To brave the 24 inches of snow predicted to fall in Allen town by Monday, they are equipped with telephones, space d weather sleeping bags, radio! portable toilets and other a® nities. heaters, insulated tents, cold Mac Kay, who is married,sail that he has an indefinite leaved absence from his job as a cow® lor in a group home for then tarded, but he admitted ik separation from his wife tough. “I certainly miss her,”hesail “It is a slight strain onourma; riage.

The 2-by-2-foot object was determined not to be radioac tive. Williams said other tests were not needed. “Someone carried this — whatever it is — to the scene and set fire to it there,” Williams said. “The students who perpe trated this got exactly what they wanted.” However, campus police di rector Bob Knight said he was not dismissing the incident and could not imagine how such a prank could have been carried out. “It looked like something that would come from outer space,” Knight said. “It could have fal len from the sky. Anybody who carried it over there would have had to have a wheelbarrow. I don’t know how they could have made it so realistic.” The object was located 70fe« from the UNO Fine Arts Cei ter, next to the campus securin offices. Williams said the objectwoul have created a much largercr» ter if it actually had plummetti to earth. “If it had fallen from the si at any distance, it would ha'i made a much deeper hole thani did,” he said.
