fans from Toronto, Indianapolis,

"Smog Man" won the costume

with "Star Woman," and "Con-

"Smog Man," alias Guy Snyder,

award:
"Smog Man is a blunderer. It's
sort of a satire, we're making

Another 39,000 cases have been re-

According to the Defense De-
partnent, there -are over 32,000,
deserters still "at large." About

At present, there are 15 bills be-
fore Congress dealing with the
amnesty question, but the Ran-
soms feel that the chances of the
bills getting passed are small.
"Amnesty has no big, powerful
interest behind it," says Louise
Ransom, "The leadership in the
country has made amnesty an un-
popular issue."
THE MOST important action in-
dividuals can take for the amnesty
issue right now is to write their
representatives and voice their
concern says Louise Ransom. This
is particularly important now,
she emphasizes before Congress-
ional hearings begin on March 7.

Pelicans rest on a mangrove tree on Florida's Pelican Island. The pelican population has been de-
creasing throughout the nation as a result of water pollution, DDT and the disturbance of their
nesting colonies by human beings. Even Florida, which hqs become a last haven for the endangered
species, may not be a sanctuary for the birds if the state's projected growth from 7.8 to 10 million
persons is reached.
