Zoe Medlin, Lamar, Mo., senior, noticed an unpleasant odor while driving her car this week. After stopping her car she noticed flies swarming around her car hood. Closer investigation revealed a grim sight—a dead raccoon. She said it apparently had crawled up into the car over the weekend.

Venezuelan stability grows
Harvey Doemland, associate professor of electrical engineering who just returned from teaching in Venezuela, described that country as politically stable with a rapidly growing economy.
Doemland taught at the Universidad de Oriente in Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela. Founded 10 years ago for the purpose of developing the intellectual climate of the country and enticing industry to the region, the tuition-free university now has an enrollment of approximately 5,000.
"In many South American countries virtual dictatorships are in control," Doemland said. "It is a testament to Venezuela's stability that the transfer of power
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (UPI)—The Jefferson County Police Department has applied for federal funds for miniature teleprinters to be installed in police cruisers.
PRIVATE LINE
The teleprinters would enable officers to receive printed messages, in addition to the present police radio messages. They also would permit the sending of messages to police officers, even if they are away from their vehicles temporarily.
Spokesmen said the printed messages would provide "message security."

after the 1968 presidential election was so peaceful."
Many of the Venezuelan's grievances center on the role of foreign industry in the country, including American-run oil fields. The foreigners are affluent as opposed to the average Venezuelan, and native Venezuelans see these strangers as draining their country of its wealth and resources.
Doemland said he was skeptical of America's foreign policy in Latin America because it does not seem to be channeled "toward the problems, hopes and desires of these individuals."
Scholarship halls get parking lot
Scholarship hall residents will soon be able to take their cars off the streets and park them in a lot. Construction began Wednesday on a new parking lot which will extend up the hill from the Alumni Place lot behind the Wagon Wheel.
"When the scholarship hall area was designed, the planners had no idea cars would become so numerous or so easily obtained," said Dave Wing, All Scholarship Hall Council (ASHC) member who worked with University officials on the project. "The administration realized the problem, but private residences surround the area, making it difficult to clear places for parking lots."
The Endowment Association recently received property along 14th Street which made the expansion possible. The new lot will add 26 parking spaces, which will allow students now having only temporary permits to park their cars in designated Alumni Place areas.
Money for the expansion has been provided by surplus funds received from campus parking fines. Crews employed by the department of buildings and grounds will construct the lot. With favorable weather, construction could be completed in two weeks. Commenting on the project, Wing said, "It will be a relief just to have enough parking space instead of making some students leave their cars parked on the streets. With the co-operation of Chief Moomau, arrangements have been made to have the lot checked more regularly for illegal parking, which should keep it available to students with Alumni Place permits."
