CREA TURES SIGHTED IN KENTUCKY, OHIO, PEKING

Monsters shock

witnesses

MAYSVILLE, Ky. (UPI)-Anna Mae
Saunders, still awed by the sight of
0 "Bigfoot," said yesterday she doesn't
want another look at the 7-foot creature
covered with long, white hair she is cer-
tain she saw last weekend outside the
home of her son-in-law in rural Mason
County.
"I just hope that thing doesn't come
back," said Saunders, 60.
"I NEVER SAW anything like it in
my life. It just looked like a big white,
fuzzy thing standing there on the porch.
I never saw it's face; it was above the 7-
foot-high door," she added.
Saunders' son-in-law, Charles Fulton,
said the creature had one of his roosters

when he opened the door, but either
dropped or threw it as it jumped off the
porch.
He described the so-called "Bigfoot"
as having long, white hair with
"glowing animal-like eyes." Fulton, 39,
went outside and saw it standing bet-
ween the house and an outbuilding. He
fired two shots with a .22-caliber pistol
at the creature, but they seemed to
have no effect, he said.
SAUNDERS SAID there had been
similar sightings recently in Aberdeen,
Ohio, just across the Ohio River from
Mason County.
Robert Gardiner, 40, a big game hun-
ter for 20 years, is convinced he has

found the lair of Bigfoot in the hills of
southern Ohio near McArthur. He
urged hunters to hold their fire if they
see him.
Gardiner said an analyst, who
examined blood samples taken from a
tree in Wayne National Forest in Vinton
County, described the samples as "ape-
like humanoid blood."
HOWEVER, Gardiner said he will
have the blood analyzed again to get a
second opinion.
Meanwhile in Peking, more sightings
were reported yesterday of China's
Loch Ness-like monster living in a
flooded crater of a dormant volcano in
what was called a new "scientific rid-

dle."
Two personnel of a weather station on
a peak above Lake Tien Zhi were
walking along the edge of the four-
square-mile lake Aug. 23 when the
"monster" suddenly rose out of the
water about 30 yards from them, the
Guangming Ribao newspaper said
yesterday.
THE WEATHER officials said the
creature towered almost 15 feet above
the surface. It had a large buffalo-like
head with a duck beak-shaped snout.
The dark head of the creature
streaked across the mirror-like surface
of the lake rapidly like a speedboat,
leaving a wake at least 300 feet long,
one weather official said.
Both weatherman, petrified at the
sight of the mysterious creature, star-
ting yelling and shouting in ex-
citement. They fired two shots in panic,
but missed the creature which quickly
submerged into the frigid waters of the
crater.
In another sighting, Peking writer
Lui Jia, 65, said he and six friends were
watching the sunrise on the morning of
Aug. 21 when the creature appeared.
"I could see it very clearly," Lui said.

day the ballot proposal classifies tuition
as a fee, and thus it could not be in-
creased without voter approval.)
DURING THE press conference,
Spitzberg said higher tuition rates and
competitive entrance requirements
would push students towards out-of-
state schools.
"These students may never return to
Michigan," he said, "which will be a
tremendous loss in human resources
for the state."
If professors are laid off, "the
remaining faculty will be so concerned
with solidifying their own positions,
they may neglect their teaching fun-
ctions," he said.
The fact that the Tisch proposal
received enough support to earn a place
on the ballot, Spitzberg explained, may
already have discouraged high quality
faculty from accepting positions at the
University.
"WHO WANTS TO take a job
knowing they may be gone in a few
years?" he asked.
Spitzberg also said that the Univer-
Experts say
LA smog to
* lift; illness
continues
From AP and UPI
LOS ANGELES-Medical authorities
reported an increase yesterday in the
number of people troubled by
respiratory ailments as smog and fog
choked the Los Angeles basin for the
11th consecutive day in the area's worst
October siege of air pollution in 10
years.
But forecasters said there could be
"significant improvement" in the next
few days because of changing weather
patterns that are expected to blow the
smog away.
FORECASTS FOR today called for
eight first-stage health alerts in the
four-county area, compared to 24 such
alerts yesterday, according to the South
Coast Air Quality Management
District.
An Air Quality Management District
spokesman said the layer of brown haze
that has kept contaminants bottled up
in the basin to the discomfort of some 10
million people was lifting.
The high pressure system in the basin
is breaking up, permitting the smog to
dissipate and Saturday should be the
best day in about two weeks for
breathing and normal physical ac-
tivities, Jeff Shenkel, AQMD
spokesman, predicted.

sity is in a period of "retrenchment"
and that it is important the faculty
utilize the available mechanisms to
have tinput in decisions concerning
program cutbacks.
He added that enrollment figures
should not be the only criteria used in
determining what programs to ,cut,
even though legislators usually place
these criteria above others.

"If programs are cut, and professors
leave the state, that will hurt
Michigan's industry," Irving ex-
plained. "The University's research
function to local industry is vital, and
has to be an important part of judging
the quality of programs.
"A university can be destroyed very
quickly," he continued, "And what's
destroyed will take decades to rebuild."
