were sold from $2 to $50. The choices ranged from a T-shirt with a picture of the new state reptile, the Ornate Box Turtle, to a snake hook, to a skin recently shed from a boa constrictor.
Even a "turtle handler" hat was sold.
"This is for those of you who like to stop your cars on the highway and molest our state reptile," Collins said.
The only things that couldn't be auctioned off were live animals.
"By and large, this is the most money-making project we have," said society president Marty Capron. Oxford resident. "We made $500 last year. Every year
we beat the old record.'
But money isn't the only reason for the yearly gathering.
"It's also a really good chance to socialize with other members." Capron said. "This is the one place that there are 50 to 60 people with the same interests. When you walk in a bar, chances are you're the only one there that likes snakes."
The members in the audience were just as diverse as the items up for auction. Among them were a piano teacher, zoo keepers, science teachers and a mailman.
Eighty members were registered for the two-day program, which consisted of reports on topics such as feeding captive snakes and the radiotelemetric tracking of Omar.
"I guess you could call this a diversion," said Richard Reber, professor of piano, who was there because his sons were interested in
biology

Omar, a 60-pound alligator snapping turtle, was discovered in April by a member of the Kansas Fish and Game Commission near Onion Creek in Montgomery County.
Capron was tracking Omar until 24 inches of rain from May to July caused him to lose the radio signals. Omar was declared of fictially lost in August.

an aerial photograph of KU parking at noon Wednesday - a peak parking hour.
He surveyed faculty and students in order to determine when and where they drive and park and also to determine the number of students who drive on campus.
After examining the aerial photograph, researchers concluded that during the peak hours, about 7,300 vehicles are parked on campus, to 300 of those on West Campus.
Keneipel estimated that the University's population would increase by 3 percent each year from now until 1996.
The more cost-effective solutions include changes made to existing parking lots, Keneipp said.
Two examples of low-cost solutions are resurfacing parking lots and restriping the parking spaces closer together. These changes could be accomplished by fall.
Keneipp said lots between the Kansas Union and Memorial Stadium could be restriped.
Keneipp also recommended turning the Burge Union parking lot and the two circular lots in front of Allen Field House into one large parking lot. The gain, he said, would be 400 extra spaces.
"You could still have green area around and in the parking area," he said.
The University needs to have one parking garage built within the next two years to meet the parking demand, Keneipp said.
The consulting firm investigated areas on campus that might be suitable for parking garages, and came up with three possibilities — west of Robinson Center, east of Robinson Center and the parking lot area by the Lindley annex.
He said that if a garage helped solve the problems, then Parking
Services should build another. A third garage probably wouldn't be needed until the 1990s, he said.
He recommended that half the garage be for permit parking and half for metered parking.
In order to pay for these improvements, Keneipp suggested that Parking Services increase its fees gradually up to 40 percent, a 30 percent increase in the first year, 10 percent increase the next year and 3 percent increases every year after to keep up with inflation, he said.
However, he also said that compared with other universities, KU's parking fees were modest.
Keneipp has two other, less extensive suggestions for the University. He suggested moving the toll booth at the intersection of 13th Street and Oread Avenue to the intersection of 14th Street and Oread Avenue, to allow traffic to move into the parking areas easier.
WASHINGTON — Secretary of State George Shultz said yesterday that the United States should make no more arms shipments to Iran, and that he saw no need to send further signals of U.S. good faith to moderate Iranians.
Shultz wants Iran embargo
The Associated Press
Meanwhile, John Poindexter, President Reagan's national security adviser, said the U.S. arms embargo against Iran still stood and he remained optimistic that more hostages may be released by pro-Iranian forces in Lebanon.
President Reagan, returning to the White House from Camp David, brushed off a question about whether he had stopped arms shipments to Iran.
But Robert McFarlane, former national security adviser, who made at least one secret trip to Iran, said his contacts among moderate Iranians were in danger of being killed now that his efforts had been made public.
He said, "I told you the truth once."
A congressional investigation into administration dealings with Iran, which Reagan denies were direct negotiations for the release of
hostages, begins this week.
Shultz, interviewed on the CBS program "Face the Nation," did not specifically criticize previous arms shipments, but said Reagan's decision to send Iran an arms shipment was debatable.
"When you get elected president, that's one of the things you get the right to do, to make decisions of kind." Shultz said. He declined to say what advice he gave Reagan on the shipments.
Shultz said he believed that no more arms would be sent to Iran, but that he did not speak for the entire administration.
"The arms embargo still continues," he said. "We do not feel it in our national interest to allow the floodgates to be thrown open to allow arms to be shipped.
Poindexter, appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press," did not say specifically that any more arms would be shipped to Iran.
"We still list Iran as a state that sponsors terrorism. However, the fact remains that the moderate elements that we were talking to, we think, did have some impact on stopping the hostage-taking in Lebanon for about a year."
He said the chance for the release
of any of the five Americans still held in Lebanon may have been damaged by recent disclosures.
The armies shipments were in exchange for the release of David Jacobsen two weeks ago. The same group that held Jacobsen still holds Terry Anderson, chief middle East correspondent for The Associated Press, and Thomas Sutherland, dean of American University in Beirut. At least three other hostages are held by another group or groups that may not have Iranian ties.
"It's a very iffy situation. We will keep working on getting the hostages free. It's possible this may progress to the point where we may get some positive result."
Senate Democratic leader Robert Byrd, D-W.V., interviewed on ABC's "This Week with David Brinkley" urged the administration to publicly declare an end to arms shipments to Iran.
"The important thing is for the president to move as quickly as he can to repair the damage," Lyrd said. "One is to state publicly and act unequivocally to stop arms shipments to not only Iran but to any terrorist state."
Rhine chemical spill criticized
United Press International
BONN, West Germany — Chancellor Helmut Kohl yesterday called the poisoning of the Rhine River by a Swiss chemical company inexcusably careless, and a firm official warned more toxic chemicals could wash into the vital waterway.
ble that "such an occurrence with such carelessness could happen at all."
"What happened here is totally unacceptable," Kohl said in an interview broadcasted by Suedwestwink radio. He said it was incomprehensi-
municipal water supplies as it washed downstream to the North Sea through France, West Germany and the Netherlands. Authorities fear the disaster may have done lasting damage to the ecological system of the river, Western Europe's most important.
An estimated 30 tons of toxic chemicals, including mercury, spilled into the Rhine on Nov.1 from the Sandoz chemical plant at Basel, Switzerland, as large water quantities were being used to extinguish a fire at the facility.
The pollution killed at least half a million fish and contaminated
Analyses of river water during the disaster revealed it was polluted by at least 34 different chemicals
