Madison BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Don Stevenson, a Louisiana State University associate professor in earthquake seismology, said he’s been fielding calls from people who are pretty shook up about an earthquake predicted to hit the New Madrid Fault on or about Dec. 3. The fault zigzags between five states, beginning at Marked Tree, Ark., running through Tennes see, Missouri and Kentucky and ending in Cairo, Ill. New Mexico climatologist Iben Browning has predicted that there is a 50-50 possibility of a devastating quake along the fault. Most people in the earthquake business — including Stevenson — have criticized Browning and his prediction. Stevenson says that even if a big earthquake hits the New Madrid Fault, Louisiana might feel it, but probably wouldn’t see any damage. But that hasn’t stopped people from worrying. Stevenson said he’s gotten a number of calls from Bobbe Van Riper of the Louisiana Office of Emergency Preparedness, who needed answers to questions her office was getting. “Some department store peo ple from Mississippi called,” Ste venson says. “Apparently they have some stores in north Loui siana, and they were ordering plywood to cover their windows. They wanted an indication, how much damage can occur in the northern Louisiana and Missis sippi area if something like that occurs. They were going to run training sessions for their people — they had already ordered ply wood.” You. . . L OOK . . . LI K.E . . . TUK-KEY ! Stevenson said he doesn’t “hold much faith” in Browning’s prediction. “He’s doing it based on gravitational maximums, due to the sun and moon and planets lining up along a particular lati tude,” he said. Medicine Tribe fasts to remember less fortunate The Medicine Tribe will have a fast from noon today to noon Wednesday in remembrance of the true meaning and spirit of Thanksgiving. Tribe members also will donate money, food or time to local food banks, and they encourage others to participate.

Spence Street will be closed due to construction Parts of Spence Street will be closed to allow for work in front of the Joe C. Richardson Petro leum Engineering Building. Sections of the street between the entrance to Parking Area 29 and the Ross Street intersection will be closed indefinitely so the work can be completed. “Anything anybody says is just a whole helluva lot of arm-waving as far as I’m concerned,” Steven son said.

Hussein’s offer to free all West erners after Christinas is drawinj mixed reviews from the family of some of the Texas oil workers being held in Iraq and Kuwait. Some say they are wary tha: Hussein’s gesture is a ploy. Otk ers, however, say they are takint the offer at face value. “I feel wonderful about it, |; wish he’d go ahead and do it for Thanksgiving,” said Aspermoii! Mayor P.C. Carr, whose son Cary, is being held in Iraq. Carr said he was concerned in Hussein’s statement that the re lease of the estimated 2,000 West erners held in Iraq and Kuwait was contingent on maintaininf “an atmosphere of peace.” Hussein announced Sundai the release would take place be tween Christmas and March 25 President Bush Monday dis missed the promise as a cynical ploy and a bid to buy time. “Some people think maybe itis (a ploy) and maybe it’s not,” Can said. “He put a condition in then that nobody seems to know wha: it means.” Patricia Hale of Spring, whose husband Edward is being heldic Iraq, agreed. “I’m just not going to try to sec ond-guess anybody,” she said.'ll just wish everything could ge straightened out and everybodi would be home.” She was not overjoyed by Hus sein’s offer, however. “Basically, what I’m hearingis! it’s possible that my husbak would be still over there Mardi 25. That’s not real positive tel me,” she said. The conditional nature of tbt announcement angered Lyndt Parker of Vidor, whose husband Bobby Gene Parker, is being helc at an Iraqi military installation. “I’m very angry about this, hj he hadn’t put that ‘if in there, it would be aifferent,” Mrs. Parket said. She said she believed the an nouncement was made to dis suade action against Iraq during the December to March period the best time for an attack be cause sandstorms begin in Mardi and summer heat returns in April. “He’s just trying to keep the U.S. from coming in and blowing him to Kingdom come,” Mrs. Par ker said. But Donnita Cole of Odessa whose husband John Henry Cole is a hostage, said she preferred not to dwell on the reasons be hind the offer.

The decrease followed a drop of 20 rigs last week, but remained above the count for a year ago when there were 1,040 rigs operating na tionally. Two weeks ago, the number of working rigs reached 1,144 —a higk figure not seen since Dec. 28,1987 Of the total rigs running as of Monday, 109 were offshore, 26 were in inland waters and 989 were on land, the toolmaker reported. Baker Hughes has kept track of the rig count — the widely watched index of drilling activity — since 1940. The count represents the numbee of rigs actively exploring for oil, no: those producing oil. At the height of the oil boom in December 1981, the count reached' peak of 4,500. But the rig couff plunged to a low of 663 after of prices collapsed in the summer of 1986.
