nee upon a time in the Land of Ags,
there came a new Fish.31 For a
time all things went well for Fish.^
Fie liked his roomie, especially
when he discovered roomie's
beautiful sister. His parents
included money in every letter
from home. His profs never, ever
assigned exams on the same day.
All his shirts came back from the laundry
with the buttons still attached. Fish's intramural foot
ball team won the Class A championship — Fish
was very happy. When his grades
arrived. Fish aced a straight 4.0.
His parents were very happy too
— they gave him an almost new
maroon Porsche for Christmas .
Merry Christmas! 31 Then the Ags
won the Cotton Bowl by a high
his
score...he discovered he liked
roomie's sister a lot. Happy New Year! 3f All things
went well for Fish until he drove the almost new
maroon Porsche back to campus to pur
chase a parking sticker. "Zounds !
That parking lot is in Navasota,
Fish cried out in dismay.
"My Reeboks won't
last a week walking
back to my northside
dorm," he wailed. "The
sun will fade my almost new
maroon Porsche to pink by May,"
he moaned. "After the first hailstorm,
my Porsche will be all pocked like ...
like me," he sobbed, suddenly zit-faced
31 Soon, everything started going south for Fish.
Classes started on Monday and three of his profs
assigned quizzes for Wednesday. He picked up the
laundry he had forgotten before Christmas and two
of his best Polos were missing. There was not one
letter from home in his mailbox. And, his roommie
^pnnounced the beautiful sister’s engagement
yA \ to a teasip! Fish wasn't even asked
^ to join an intramural team. 31 One
{,$}? night, as the Albritton clock struck
twelve. Fish stood in front of Sully
and poured out his troubles.
Sully listened carefully in his
own quiet way. And then, miracle of
miracles,Sully spoke to Fish."Be patient.
my son. Good things are in store for you." Sully
proclaimed. "In the Spring of '89, I will open my
new Parking Garage. You can park the almost new
maroon Porsche in its own numbered space," Sully
continued."You will be near your dorm, your classes,
and even near Northgate. Neither hail, nor sleet, nor
even the glaring sun will mar the almost
new Porsche's maroon beauty." ^ ^
And Sulley concluded, s' iia
"I will provide a guard
for this Parking '
Garage, and L -—3-4^
should the guard
turn his head, 40 tele
vision cameras will watch
over and protect the almost new
maroon Porsche." Fish was impressed.
31 And so it came to pass, just as Sully foretold. In
January '89, the roomie's beautiful sister broke her en
gagement. His parents remembered how to sign checks.
The laundry found his shirts. Even Jackie called to
invite Fish to join the T2th Man Team. And the still
almost new maroon Porsche was safe
and sound in its very own parking
space, protected from all harm.
Fish was happy ever after.
31 Sully had spoken.

Union Carbide sues insurers
Thur
to cover pollution sites’ costs r
Paid For By The Office of the Vice President for Finance and Operations
DANBURY, Conn. (AP) — The
Union Carbide Corp. has filed suit
against at least 115 of its insurers in
an effort to force them to provide
coverage for cleanup, legal and
study costs stemming from pollution
sites around the country.
The Danbury-based company
filed two suits last week, one in Supe
rior Court in Danbury and the other
in state Superior Court in Newark,
N.J. The company didn’t disclose
how much money it has spent on
pollution defense or cleanup, and
company spokesman Edward Van
Den Ameele wouldn’t say.
Defendants in the suits include
Aetna Casualty and Surety Co., and
subsidiaries of Travelers Corp.,
Hartford Insurance Group, and
Cigna Corp. The suits also say there
are unnamed defendants.
Robert D. Chesler, a company at
torney in Roseland, N.J., said Car
bide still hasn’t determined all of the
insurance carriers that provided cov
erage.
Some of the pollution occurred at
Union Carbide plants, while other
problems cited in the Connecticut
suit stem from the company’s dispo
sal of its wastes at other sites.
In the New Jersey suit, the com
pany seeks coverage for seven pol
lution sites in that state.
The sites were identified by the
federal Environmental Protection
Agency and state environmental de
partments. None are in Connecticut.
Spokesmen for the insurance
companies declined to comment on
the suits, citing company policies on
not discussing matters that are in liti
gation.
Union Carbide is among a grow
ing number of companies suing
their insurers over whether liability
policies cover contamination of
property and groundwater due to
seepage of hazardous wastes.
United Technologies Corp., for
example, recently sued more than
240 of its insurers from the past 37
years to obtain coverage for 134 pol
lution sites.
The Connecticut suit seeks insur
ance for sites or situations including:
• Three pesticide dumping sites
in Aberdeen, N.C., where Union
Carbide shipped hazardous wastes
from 1962 to 1970.
• The Laskin landfill in Jeffer
son, Ohio, where Union Carbide
sent 60,000 to 70,000 gallons of
waste oil from 1976 through 1981.
• The Northside landfill in Zion-
sville, Ind., to which UnionCjl
sent 1.8 million gallons oft
silicate and asbestos from 1
1980.
• Union Carbide’s plantbi
etta, Ohio, which made
strong, corrosive, poison, froci
to 1971.

Polish strikers demand Solidarity
GDANSK, Poland (AP) —
More than 7,000 strikers at the
Lenin shipyard, where Solidarity
was born eight years ago, de
manded Tuesday that the out

legal again. The government
called that “not negotiable.”

times, but said he would not lead
the strike.
“I am not your leader,” said the
man who vaulted the shipyard
fence in 1980 and took charge of
a labor revolt that brought down
a government. “I’m tired. You
need a new Walesa, many more
new Walesas.
“You declared this strike,” he
said. “I’m with you and I’ll always
be with you. I can advise you. I
have some experience.
“If we don’t achieve a real
form this time, then wewillfi
a bloody revolution.”
A striker offered a loal|
