1: DAYTON, Ohio — A college pro
fessor and an elderly couple appar
ently became the latest victims in the
Midwest crime spree of suspected
killer Alton Coleman and his girlf-
Kend, the FBI and local police said
Huesday.
■ Law enforcement officials
scoured western Ohio after discover
ing Cumberland College, Ky., his
tory professor Oline Carmical Jr. in
the trunk of his car in a park on the
west side of Dayton.
I Nearby, police found Millard Gay,
79, and his wife, Kathryn, beaten
and robbed in their home. Gay, a
dnister, was in good condition at St.
Elizabeth’s Medical Center. Neither
Carmical, 39, nor Mrs. Gay were
brmed seriously.
\S}I( Coleman and his girlfriend, De-
jfjjl bra Brown, are wanted in six states
II i n connection with a string of violent
crimes, including six deaths.
His blind grandmother, Alma
I Housea, who raised him after he was
left by his prostitute mother, begged
onal him Tuesday to surrender and get
, help because as he kills his victims,

“Seven-Up, never had it, never
will,” says the 7-UP advertisment in
an effort to persuade consumers
that their proauct has always been
caffeine free.
That ad campaign was a reaction
to the development of several caf
feine-free colas on the market, so 7-
UP had to stay competitive.
Since consumers are becoming
more concious about what they are
eating and drinking, manufacturers
are taking advanatage of consumers’
lack of knowledge about nutrition
and capitalizing on it.
For instance, to gain an edge on
the peanut butter market, Skippy
peanut butter began advertising that
its product has no cholesterol. The
manufacturers probably knew most
shoppers weren t aware that peanut
butter doesn’t contain cholesterol
because it’s a vegetable product.
With that in mind, shoppers
might be more inclined to reach for
Skippy rather than Peter Pan peanut
butter, because Skippy doesn’t con
tain cholesterol. They assume that
Peter Pan does.
Dr. Alice Hunt, a Texas A&M Ag
ricultural Extension Service nutritio
nist, says Federal Trade Commission
bans the use of misleading informa
tion in ads.
So, rather than print erroneous
information about a product, adver
tiser simply say things about compet
ing products in order
seem special.
to make theirs
Maybe a shopper would rather
buy Price’s Original Homestyle Pi
mento Spread because its label says it
uses “real cheese,” as opposed to
Skaggs Alpha Beta’s Special Recipe
Pimento Spread. Skagg’s brand
doesn’t claim to use “real cheese” on
its label, although the two are vir
tually the same.
Hunt says many products are la
beled “light” or “lite” to capitalize on
consumers’ interest in lower calorie
foods.
For example, Hunt says, “First
they’ll take some cereal, reduce the
sugar, which probably had too much
in it in the first place, and it will
make that cereal sound like they’ve
really lowered the sugar.”
She said cooking oils like Crisco,
Sunlite, Wesson and Puritan began
printing on their labels “no choles
terol” out of self defense. She said
once one product advertises some
thing like that, competing products
have no choice but to advertise in the
same way. Pure vegetable cooking
oils, like peanut butters, are made
from vegetable products which don’t
contain cholesterol anyway.
Hunt says consumers must be
come informed about nutrition and
take time to carefully read the labels
on food products.

In an effort to relieve some of the
parking and traffic congestion on
campus, a new Park and Ride system
will be introduced this fall.
Students, faculty and staff will be
able to park in the Olsen Field park
ing lot and ride an intracampus
shuttle to the main campus free of
charge. About 1,200 parxing spaces
are available near Olsen field.
Those parking at Olsen Field will
be required to have a remote lot
parking permit on their cars which
costs $ 15 a year.
“It’s a good buy for the con
sumer,” Bill Conaway, staff assistant
for the bus operations said. Conaway
will oversee the operation of the
Park and Ride program.
Students parking stickers, based
on the nine-month school year, will
cost $63 for dorm students with 60
hours or more and all female dorm
students and $45 for Day students
with 60 hours or more and all other
students except female dorm stu
dents compaired to $15 for a remote
lot sticker.
Faculty parking stickers cost $150
for basement garage parking, $114
for reserved numbered spaces, $78
for reserved lot parking and $60 for
random street parking compared to
the $15 remote sticker.
Remote parking stickers will be
sold only to students who live off-
campus. On-campus students will
not be able to use the remote lots.
“I think the University is heading
in the right direction,” Conaway
said.
Conaway said he would like to see
the Park and Ride program ex
panded to eventually result in a
closed campus.
Bus operations will run the bus
service. Enforcing the parking and
traffic regulations will be under the
jurisdiction of the University Police.
Shuttle runs will begin Aug. 27,
but a few practice runs on a limited
basis will be run Aug. 20 to time the
routes.
The shuttle buses will be run on
three different routes — the Express
Run, the Academic Run ana the
Rudder Run — each taking passen
gers to different areas of the cam
pus.
The Express Run will only have
two stops. Shuttles will leave Olsen
Field and travel down Beef Cattle
Road to Agronomy Road to Univer
sity Drive. It will stop at the Blocker
Building and the Engineering Re
search Center. The shuttle will re
turn the same way.
The Express Run is designed to
carry large numbers of students
ouickly to the Blocker Building and
tne Engineering Research Center.
Express Run buses will run from 7
to 9:30 a.m. and from 3 to 6 p.m. All
other shuttles will run from 7 a.m. to
6 p.m.
The Academic Run will leave Ol
sen Field and travel to the campus
via Old Main and Houston. The
shuttle will cross to Jones Street at
the fountain and run east on Ross
Street to Bizzell. It will return to Ol
sen Field via University Drive and
Agronomy Road.
The Rudder Run will leave Olsen
Field and go to Joe Routt. Buses will
run east on Joe Routt to Coke Street.
North on Coke via the Lamar Street
extension to Throckmorton. Then
South on Joe Routt and back to Ol
sen Field.
The shuttles will operated 10 to
12 minute intervals. Passegers on the
Academic and Rudder Runs will be
able to board and disembark at stops
signs.
“We want to make it an efficient
people mover,” John Lake, bus op
erations manager, said.
Twelve additional buses will be
added to the fleet to service the Park
and Ride program. Ten buses will be
the smaller 26-passenger shuttles
and two will be 46-passenger buses
to run on the Express Run.
The Park ana Ride program will
double the number of students em
ployed by bus operations. It will cre
ate about 40 additional student posi
tions. Those students interested can
apply at the bus operations office.
