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

Two other paintings erroneously attributed to Rembrandt

three in France and two each in Switzerland and
Sweden, the experts said.

Poor crop fo
LONDON (AF) - The 1982 Soviet
grain crop will total 180 million metric
tons, 60 million tons short of Moscow s
five-year-plan target, the International
Wheat Council said
Thursday.
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

than the current maximum.
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. '

requirements at 16.5 million metric
tons of wheat, 21.5 million tons of
coarse grain and one million tons of
rice.
Of the U.S. grain being offered by
Reagan, the report said, "15 million
tons must be purchased by the end of
November for delivery by the end of
May 1983. The other eight million tons
is covered by the seventh year of the
extended (1975) grain agreement.
"However, sales to date amount to
only 1.6 million tons of corn. Under the
agreement,' the U.S.S.R. m ;t purchase
at least six million torn, of U.S.
grain."
