_wi re Officials suspend college paper FLORENCE <AP) I -I Publication of Francis Marion College's newspaper, The Campus Crier, has been suspended indefinitely in the wake of an annual parody edition that angered blacks, school officials said. Black students and the Florence chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People complained about the parody publication, saying it contained racial slurs. The five-student parody, "The Campus Cry-Baby," contained articles describing fictitious white students on tricycles running down black students, and it criticized fraternities as being anti-black. But two senior staff writers who resigned after the edition, Perry LaMar Hoy and J.K. Johnson, said in a letter that the "Cry-Baby" was meant to be "caustic." "Our intention with the lampoon was to shake the school to its foundation, to break through the apathy and complacency, to shock people into waking up," the students wrote in the letter published Friday by The Florence Mor ning ivews. The students accused the school of harboring "latent and subtle" racism. Contest offers house as prize (AP) - A Columbia banking executive hasn't gotten any takers on a golf contest he dreamed up that offered his $83,000 house as the prize. "I had real good response with people talking about it," Bill Boyte says. "But no one would own up and enter." The contest was supposed to be held Friday. But Bovte says he didn't get a single entry. "I guess the $500 entry fee was too high," he said. Boyte's get-rich plan for disposing of his house and making a little money on the side was simple. For $500, contestants would have two chances to hit a golf ball 165 yards toward a hole. Whoever sank the shot or landed closest to the hole would win Boyte's 2,200-square-foot, mortgage-free house. If the winner didn't want the house, Boyte was prepared to award $64,000 in cash instead. Boyte figured he needed 500 entrants to give him the $250,000 needed to finance the contest, pay off the mortgage on his house and build a new one. Art experts doubt Rembrandts THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) - Eleven "Rembrandt" paintings owned by collectors and museums in Boston, Philadelphia and New York probably are not genuine, according to a team of Dutch art experts. The experts, who have spent 14 years investigating early works attributed to the Dutch master using modern scientific techniques, said the paintings were among 44 "Rembrandts" that "cannot be accepted" as originals. In the United States, the experts said, some of these no inti ?rf C? om Atimnri Kti \Totir TVili f puini.iiigo uit uw uuu uj new x vji rv s men ujjuii tctn mu^t'uill u1 Art, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Fogg Art Museum in Cambridge, Mass., and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

One council official described the Soviet harvest as poor but "not as bad as was expected." The U.S. Agriculture Department has estimated a Soviet crop of 170 million metric tons. The Wheat Council's estimate was issued as Soviet and U.S. negotiators met in Vienna to discuss President Reagan's recent offer to sell up to 23 million tons of corn and wheat to the Soviet Union, 15 million tons more * I * x.nfr'iur^ _ - / ^N' '> . : '- "-o ?t>- J ^ >"*?

This has been the fourth successive bad Soviet harvest and will require them to import 39 million metric tons of wheat and coarse grain, the council said in its October market report. The 1981 grain crop was 170 million tons and forced the Soviets to buy 45 million tons of grain to boost food supplies and to save cattle from being slaughtered for lack of fodder. The 180 million tons expected this year consists of 85 million tons of wheat, 85 million tons of coarse grains such as corn and barley, and 10 million tons of other grains, the council said.
