Tide sweeps crude oil toward Puerto Rico
SAN JUAN, P.R. —(UPI)—A task force of experts Monday lost the first round in their battle to contain and stop the flow of crude oil oozing from the wreckage of a Liberian tanker.
A U.S. Coast Guard spokesman said Monday night that day-long
Whatchamacallit will be March 15
A whatchamacallit will be held from 9 p.m. to midnight March 15 at Oliver Hall. Whatchamacallits are mixers which will be held once a month at residence halls.
The Upside Dawne will play at the first whatchamacallit in Oliver, said Gary Messecar, Shawnee sophomore and social chairman of Association of University Residence Halls (AURH), the organization sponsoring the whatchamacallits.
AURH will try to form car pools to bring girls across campus for the event, he said.

efforts to tow part of the wreckage of the 579-foot Ocean Eagle out to sea had failed. Towing efforts ended Monday at nightfall.
The spokesman said the U.S. Navy would provide two more powerful tugs Tuesday in a fresh attempt to haul the bow section out to sea away from the beaches of this resort city's gold coast.
Nearly half of the Ocean Eagle's cargo of 5.7 million gallons of crude oil has seeped out of the wreckage, befouling the beaches that attract hordes of tourists at this time of year.
President Johnson, who spent the weekend in Puerto Rico, ordered the Coast Guard to "render all possible assistance" to stop the oil flow.
At least eight hotels along the city's resort gold coast were forced to close their beaches as oil and emulsifying chemicals used to combat the everwidening slick fouled the usually crystalclear waters.
The 12,065-ton Ocean Eagle foundered early Sunday at the entrance of San Juan harbor, at the end of a voyage from Port La Cruz, Venezuela.
The Coast Guard, which immediately ordered the San Juan port closed, reopened it only partially Monday.

But whatever it is that is happening within this organization that has survived since the 1950s, it is taking a romantic new turn.
The setting for stealth has been transferred from relatively ugly Missouri to a new spot breathing somewhere in the Colorado mountains with the life and fragrance of pine trees and chilly mornings.
It is in this most appropriate of settings for intrigue that Minutemen may even now be eating meals cooked over open fires, and planning their next strategic burial of arms and munitions to be used when, in their eyes, the United States has skidded beyond hope into the arms of communism.
Whatever threat the Minute-men pose to themselves and other citizens is open to debate.
Which wing is which?
To be sure, the organization is composed of radicals. District Attorney Garrison says, without making himself clear, that they have gone so "militantly right wing that they might as well be left wing."
The Minutemen are being watched by the FBI, now the ATTU, and perhaps even by the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO), which DePugh has charged, with respect to the job corps, "that persons have been trained at government expense

There is very little in govern-
It is something of a standoff between the two sides at the moment, with DePugh not yet in jail to serve his four-year prison sentence for conviction of violating the National Firearms Act.
