Party candidates
snub LULAC meet
United Press International
EL PASO — Presidential candi-~
dates from both parties have by
passed the annual national conven
tion of the nation’s oldest and largest
Hispanic membership organization,
hut members are planning a snub or
two of their own, the national presi
dent said Wednesday.
Mario Obledo of Sacramento,
Calif., president of the League of
United Latin American Citizens,
said members are still hoping Demo
cratic presidential hopeful Walter
Mondale will make a brief last-min
ute appearance at their 55th annual
convention in El Paso.
“I can’t prejudge what the assem
bly of delegates will do,” Obledo
said, adding members will organize
“some type of boycott” of the Mon
dale campaign if the candidate does
not address the more than 3,000 del
egates who are expected to attend
the national ineeting.
Reagan has indicated he will not
attend the convention, officials said.
Colo. Sen. Gary Hart and Rev. Jesse
Jackson have also sent regrets.
Convention leaders said they were
also hoping for a brief visit from
Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachu
setts. The convention opens Thurs
day and will continue through Sun
day afternoon.
Obledo said the issues to he ad
dressed by LULAC members in
clude Hispanic voter registration,
the Hispanic struggle with “cor
porate America,” foreign relations,
and bilingual education.
LULAC, together with other His
panic organizations in the United
States, is involved in a drive to regis
ter an additional million Hispanic
voters prior to November, he said.
Obledo said the Senate race in
Texas is an example of the impact
Hispanics have on political cam
paigns, referring to the defeat of
Congressman Kent Hance by Lloyd
Doggett in the June primary runoff.

By JAN WUTHRICH
Reporter
A variety of activities are being of

department.
They include: slow pitch softball,
3-man basketball and volleyball, ten

men’s, women’s, and co-recreational
divisions.
Any student, faculty, staff person,
or their spouse can participate in
these activities at costs up to $20. A

pu rchased.
James Welford, associate director

Welford also said the intramural
program will begin building more
playing fields this fall to make possi

4 medflies prompt quarantine
United Press International
MIAMI —— Dreaded Mediterra
nean fruit flies capable of devastat
ing Llorida’s $ 1-billion-a-year citrus
crop were found in a Miami orange
tree and officials imposed a quaran
tine Wednesday on shipping fruit
out of the area.
Lour medflies were discovered
Tuesday in a trap in the Little Ha
vana section, several miles east of the
airport and about a mile west of the
Port of Miami.
When identification was con
firmed Wednesday, inspectors
fanned out over Dade County set
ting 500 fruit fly traps to determine
the extent of the infestation, officials
said.
Officials planned to begin spray
ing pesticides on citrus and other
fruit trees by hand Thursday and
from the air on Friday, said George
Gwin, area supervisor for the De
partment of Agriculture’s Division
of Plant Industry.
Gwin, who found the four medf
lies in a sour orange tree, said about
260 plants act as hosts to the pest,
but the citrus crop was the main con
cern.
Gwin said there was no way to de
termine how the flies got into the
country.
“It’s pure speculation. They were
found near the Miami River and
near the airport. They could have
come in any way,” he said.
Residents of an 81-square-mile
area centered around the seaport
were asked not to transport fruit or
vegetables out of the area for fear of
spreading the outbreak.
Barry Gross, a spokesman for the
Agriculture Department, said 100
traps per square mile were set in the
immediate area where the flies were
found, and 50 per square mile would
be set further away from the site of
the find.
Agriculture officials said threeol
the flies were males and onewasan
unmaled female.
Inspectors were checking frail
Wednesday to see if any larvae were
present. A female medfly lays®
eggs in fruit, causing it toroiquidli
as it is eaten by the larvae.
Ernie Wells, a spokesman fortk
industry group Florida Citrus Mu
tual, said his group was concenia
because an outbreak could severtl)
damage the crop.
“Miami is not a citrus producing
area, but certainly it is a trig threat®
the industry if it should move inio
the citrus belt,” Wells said.
