Students protest vegetarian rumors
There were protests and counterprotests last week at the prestigious women's college in Northampton, stogans pro and con written on walkways, and personal criticism of the manager of dining services.
The rumor that Smith College was going entirely vegetarian, and that it would only buy food from local growers, started a ruckus on the school's Massachusetts campus.
A groundskeeper found the man screaming for help the next morning. Firefighters cut the chains off the swing and took him to the hospital, where a cast cutter was used to remove the seat.
A 21-year-old Northern California man was left hanging at a playground swing set overnight after he got stuck in the diaper-like seat for nine hours.
Valeije police said the man made a $100 bet with his friends that he could fit into a child's swing at Blue Rock Springs Park on Friday night. With the help of liquid laundry detergent, he managed to slide his legs into the seat.
Professor Jay Garfield tells The Boston Globe the prank was a way to liven up a dry topic. He and professor Jim Henle have started false rumors in the past.
Authorities said that he got stuck and his friends took off.

Man in park swing stuck for nine hours
It turns out it was a hoax, cooked up by two professors as part of their introductory class in logic.
Smith President Carol Christ added to the exercise, saying Monday Garfield and Henle had been fired. That, too, was a hoax.

"We don't know how long she was up there," Liberty assistant fire chief Chris Rowland said Tuesday. "She was scared. She was ready to come down."
Four firefighters in a South Carolina town plucked a frightened black lab puppy from the top of a double-decker freight train car and delivered her to a new, loving home.
Rowland's team of four fire fighters was called Sunday evening after Tina Parker of nearby Pickens spotted the pup while she and her family were stopped at a red light and saw the train pass by.

Brothers face off in Ohio mayorial race
"We've rescued a cat here and there, but we've never had to get a dog off the top of a train," he said.

Rowland said the effort was a difficult one, given where the car stopped and how the firefighters had to maneuver to get the ladder in place alongside the tracks. But he said it was a good thing for all involved.
It's brother against brother in a northwest Ohio village where siblings are vying for mayor.
"We don't know how she survived up there." Rowland said.
A Norfolk Southern spokeswoman said they stopped the train, which was going about 50 mph while traveling from Pennsylvania to Atlanta.
"There's no question it was a puppy," Parker said.
The family helped firefighters find the car and firefighter Derek Sargeant scampered up a 24-foot extension ladder to get on top of the double-stacked containers.
of the train, but then it started moving and she realized it was a small dog.
She called 911 and followed the train to Liberty about six miles away.
The Parkers named the dog Boxcar Hunter, or Boxy for short.
Parker said no one knows who put the dog atop the train.
They made an appointment with the veterinarian to have the dog checked, but Parker said it seems healthy and happy to be off the train. She has two other dogs and the new pup is getting used to her new surroundings.

but must be preserved Kentucky transportation officials are offering a bridge to any taker who will preserve it.
The three-span steel truss bridge over the Kentucky River in the state's southeastern corner would be free and is available after a new bridge is completed next
year to carry Ky. 80.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet would even pay for taking down the 82-year-old, 456-foot bridge and hauling it to the new owner's location.
The catch is that whoever takes it has to set it back up in its original form and maintain it.
