58 percent
believe in love
at first sight
United Press International
NEW YORK — A public opin
ion survey indicates 58 percent
of Americans believe in love at
first sight, but 37 percent are
skeptical about the possibility.
Five percent told the interview
ers they had no opinion on the
subject.
The findings of the Merit Re
port were the same among all
regions, age groups and income
levels but differed by sex. Men
said they believed in love at first
sight by a 30 point margin, but
women by only a 14 point
margin.
The study by Audits 8c Sur
veys Inc., was based on inter
views conducted Jan. 31-Feb. 4
with a probability sample of ab
out 1,200 adults, 18 years and
older, living in telephone house
holds in the continental United
States.
Passersby
scramble
for eggs
United Press International
PITTSBURGH — The eggs
went over easy when a truck car
rying 26,000 dozen of them
overturned on a busy city high
way, providing the makings of a
free breakfast for about a dozen
poachers who happened along.
The truck, carrying the eggs
from Coldwater, Ohio, went out
of control on an exit ramp off
the city’s Parkway East Friday
and hit a guardrail, which rip
ped open the left side of the
trailer.
Half the cargo spilled onto
the pavement as the rig over
turned, officials said.
About a dozen passersby,
however, picked their way
through the gooey debris and
salvaged an undetermined
number of hardy eggs that sur
vived the crash.
Times are
a-changing
United Press International
LINCOLN, Neb. — The red,
white and blue wasn’t meant to
be purple, say students at the
University of Nebraska.
On March 4, members of a
group calling itself the ANAR-
KY Party displayed an Amer
ican flag dyed purple at a cam
paign booth while they ran for
election to the university’s Asso
ciation of Students.
The flag was no laughing
matter to the student associa
tion, which may file a complaint
in student court against ANAR-
KY’s unsuccessful presidential
candidate, Joni Jacobs — who
also faces state charges of muti
lating a U.S. flag.
“I want to make sure students
and the general public are aware
neither I nor students in my
administration condone such
blatant disrespect for our coun
try,” student president Dan
Wedekind said.
No injury
for insult
United Press International
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich.
— A group of language watch
ers says a Michigan State Uni
versity trustee has been given its
greatest honor — an award for
his skill in insulting people.
Peter B. Fletcher, an Ypsilan-
ti businessman, was given an
award Friday by the Interna
tional Society for the Revival
and Promulgation of Vitupera
tive Speech — a group dedicated
to the “craft of elaborate insult.”
The award was in memory of
Samuel Johnson, a British lex
icographer who worked on
some of the first English lan
guage dictionaries.
Fletcher’s award was based
on several of his comments, in
cluding one to a federal highway
engineer upset by treatment he
received from Fletcher when
Fletcher was chairman of the
Michigan State Highway Com
mission.
“Only the emotionally inse
cure, mentally limited and pro
fessionally indolent would have
the time or inclination to take
umbrage at my comments,”
Fletcher told the man. “It was a
very cold day and possibly the
minuscule federal brains be
came congealed standing out
side so long away from their cus
tomary desks.”
