I FORT WORTH — A radio sta
tion says it will pay for damage
caused to the Fort Worth public
library after a promotion telling
listeners that money had been
bidden in books left the facility
in shambles.
I An afternoon disc jockey at
'Country radio station KYNG-FM,
based in Dallas, contrived the
promotion after reading an arti
cle about how few people go to
nee; libraries, said program director
ampniJl Dan Pearman.
pear be 1 "bl e thought putting a few
Hlollars here and there might mo
tivate people to go to the li
brary,” Pearman said Wednesday.
I The promotion sent more
Than 800 people scurrying
through the library’s doors Tues
day, ripping the covers off books
and then throwing them to the
floor, said library spokeswoman
Marsha Anderson.
I "It was very bad,” she said

Anderson said people were
“climbing the shelves, stepping
on each other and elbowing peo
ple in the face” to get to books.
Listeners told library officials
that the station had hidden up to
110,000. However, Pearman said
the DJ offered only $ 1 00.
“Whatever harm we caused
we need to rectify,” Pearman
said. “We’re just very apologetic
for the incident and sorry it hap
pened.”
He acknowledged that the ra
dio station did not tell library of
ficials about the promotion.
“It was kind of a last-minute
inspiration, and typically when
he does that kind of stuff, 30 or
40 people show up and then they
leave,” Pearman said.
No damage estimate has been
made. Anderson said it will take
several days for the books to be
returned to their proper places.
As of Wednesday morning, li
brary staff members had picked
up about 1,000 books from the
floor, she said.

Genetics
Continued from Page 2
Hsueh said several recent meth
ods have been developed to work
with infertile couples, including
directly injecting sperm into eggs,
using surgical procedures, in vitro
fertilization and even borrowing
eggs.
Hsueh said technology has be
come so advanced that children can
now have five parents: a mother, a
father, a genetic mother, a genetic
father and a surrogate mother.
“In terms of the social implica
tions, this is a really wide open
field,’’ he said.
Hsueh also discussed the devel
opment and use of contraception.
“After being introduced in
1956, (birth control) pills have re
ally changed our whole society’s
view on sex,” Hsueh said.
The introduction of the contro
versial abortion pill, RU-486, was
another issue Hsueh discussed.
“This drug is going to become a
very effective means of oral contra
ception,” he said.
Hsueh said the scientific com
munity needs to be careful in fur
ther advances by determining the
implications some methods intro
duce.
“We need to decide how we are
going to handle all these changes.”
Hsueh was later presented with
a plaque for being one of 24 scien
tists honored as Wellcome profes
sors in 1994.
