A FEDERAL AVIATION Administration patrol plane followed that plane to Craig Field in Jacksonville, Fla., where three

The plane did not enter the restricted area immediately around the Cape, but it was in the area that the FAA had warned pilots to stay out of, an FAA official said.
$ \mathrm{C_{0}} $ The seven-minute delay before Discovery's launch yesterday occurred when three private planes violated the safety zone around the space center. An unarmed Air Force C-130 turned the aircraft away from the safety zone.
It was the first time in 12 launches that a shuttle was delayed by an intruding airplane, but the safety zone has been violated on six previous missions.
The plane that flew closest to the safety zone was detected by radar offshore 5 miles north of the spaceport, heading south at an altitude of 9,500 feet.
The FAA can issue fines or suspend licenses of pilots found guilty of violating airspace regulations.

Wilson said the frequency of Western dress and Coca-Cola in Nigeria were symbols of the extreme Western influence that the country had experienced. But the impor-

Nigerians.
"NIGERIA HAS MODERN western buildings, but nothing works." Wilcox said. "The university is 12 years old, but there are no parts for upkeep.
"The toilets didn't work and a lot of times there was no water. Behind the dorms were faucets and everyone would stand outside with buckets of water and牙刷brushes."
Books and paper were scarce and classrooms were crowded, Wilcox said. University professors made students work hard for their grades.
"Here professors give out outlines and handouts and tell students when to wake up and when to go to bed," he said. "There you had to find out information on your own."
Wilcox lived for two months in a men's
residence hall that had space for 120 people but accommodated up to 320 students.
"THREE PEOPLE WERE assigned to a room about the size of KU dorm rooms. The others there were squatters — friends or relatives of the students assigned to the room." he said.

Before going to Nigeria, Wileo had lived outside the United States. During his
childhood and adolescence, he spent five years in Germany.
wacco said his ns year-long stay in Nigeria cost him less money than going to KU for a year. He paid KU tuition, $130 for books and about $75 for every meal.
Bugs
Wilcox said the money he spent on his trip to western Africa was well worth it.
"I went to a leper colony in Nigeria with a priest," he said, "and after Mass, we started dancing. I did the twist and got a lot of applause and cheers. I think I made some people happy."

"They call the disease 'hopper burn.' " he said. "It looks like the plant's been hit by a flamethrower."
One of the most dangerous leaf hoppers is the potato leaf hopper, Beer said. The bug has wiped out entire fields in north Lawrence by injecting its poisonous saliva into potato plants.
But Jack Lindquist, a Douglas County Extention agent, said spraying and farm planning had helped keep the leaf hopper under control.
"It doesn't look like the leaf hopper is as detrimental to it, may seem," be said.
KU'S MUSEUM OF entomology in Snow Hall has one of the world's largest collections of leaf hoppers. Beer said

"They're my favorite insect because they're so nasty," he said.
