Pouring rain and a thick mist Saturday failed to dampen the enthusiasm of hunters hoping to win a halt-million-dollar reward in the first major search for the Loch Ness monster in three years. National oddsmakers at the William Hill Organization Ltd. have put up the cash ? 250,000 pounds, or $477,500 ? for the first person or team to discover "conclusive evidence" of the creature's existence. U.S. buildup in Gulf done, Pentagon says WASHINGTON ? The U. S. buildup on the Arabian peninsula is virtually complete, but American forces still lack the firepower and supplies necessary to launch a successful ground offensive against Iraqi troops in Kuwait, according to military officials. The officials, in Washington and Saudi Arabia, said all of the heavy armor being shipped to Saudi Arabia should arrive by week's end, closing out the biggest phase of the two-month deployment and bringing to nearly 200,000 the number of American troops in the region.

If the statewide elections were held now, Republican Gov. Carroll Campbell would garner three times as many votes as his Democratic challenger Sen. Theo Mitchell, according to a poll published Sunday.

Marijuana costs up, SLED officials say You can buy a hit of LSD for $3, a rock of crack for $20 and a small bag of cocaine for $2.5 in South Carolina, but an ounce of marijuana costs $125, more than three times its price two years ago, officials say. Nationwide, marijuana has become so expensive and hard to find that cocaine dealers are offering to trade their precious powder for the mellowing weed, once the drug of choice in the 1960s and 1970s, said Hugh Munn, spokesman for the State Law Enforcement Division. Munn said marijuana is scarce and high-priced because drug smugglers have switched products, preferring to peddle narcotics that are less bulky and more lucrative.

The Gay and Lesbian Student Association (GLSA) was founded to be a suppport ana educational group tor nomosexuais on Ct *r pus. One member said the purpose of the group is to help each other cope with resentment from straight people on campus. One source of controversy occurs from the fact that GLSA is funded through student activity fees. "People object to their money going to support something they don't believe in. I don't wan^ my money going to support football, but a lot of it does," GLSA member Shane Miller said. The organization currently has about 40 members.
