UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
■ Recently, parents of a Colorado teenager announced they would use the local school system for falling to alert them that their son's creative writing papers revealed his emotional problems. In one example quoted in *The Denver Post*, the boy wrote a story about a man's vicious torture of a woman, concluding that the man was in control and was powerful. However, the teacher merely marked the paper C-minus, commenting that the paper had, "No focus! . . . (You're missing the point of this.)" Shortly after he submitted the paper, the boy sexually assaulted two stepbrothers.
Mr. M.K O Abiola, of Nigeria's Yoruba tribe, answering to a divorce lawsuit in a New York City courtroom in June, denied a woman's claim that she was one of his 26 wives. He contended that he had only four wives but she was one of his 18 concubines. The woman is represented by palimony lawyer Marvin Mitchellson.
On Nov. 20 in Omaha, Neb., Lela Schaecher gave birth to a girl. Her twin sister, Lisa, also gave birth to a girl on the same day. Lisa has the same last name as Lela because both women married men named Schaecher, who are first cousins.
Joseph W. Charles, 82, retired in
October from his 'job' as the Waving Man in Berkeley, Calif. For himself the 30 years he stationed himself in his front yard daily during the morning rush hour and waved to motorists.
Pacific News Service reported in June that female temperance patrols in India's northeast state of Manipur have been successful in curtailing males' drinking problems, which they said led to wife-beting and unemployment. The patrols destroy local stills and then capture men who are drinking, the them naked to a donkey, and parade them through the local villages, where they are encouraged to promise never to drink again. The patrol now has 30,000 female members.
The Weirdo American Community
University of California at Berkeley environmental psychologist Clare Cooper Marcus recently started a counseling service for people having difficult relationships with their houses. For $100, she will spend an hour conducting role-play
ing sessions between the client and his or her house. Dr. Marcus says that having the client voice anxieties to the house—and having the house respond — usually begins relieving the client's stress within the first hour.
Least Competent Person
In December, near Mineral Wells, Texas, three men who were attempting to steal copper wire off live electrical lines for resale were electricated. Copper wiring is a valuable scrap metal in Texas but is usually stolen from electric cables that are not being used.
Inexplicable
At least 18 people were arrested near Manila in the Philippines on Dec. 27 for deflating automobile tires for religious reasons. Followers of "The Reserved Manpower of the Good Wisdom for All Nations" religion said it was God's order to let out the air. Said one follower, "Air is from God. This is the solution to the crisis in our country."
