A snap in time saves a dime
When the arm breaks, students conserve dimes. The breaking of the traffic arm is a frequent occurrence in Xzone.
BROKEN ARM SIGNALS STRING OF DIME SAVERS
"It happens nearly daily," said E. P. Moomau, chief of campus police. "When we catch someone breaking the arm, we charge him $7.50 to replace it. But we rarely catch one."
Revenue from the parking fees helps repave other campus parking lots, said Moomau.
Olympics end; Russia flops
GRENOBLE, France —(UPI)— Russia was the flop of the 10th Winter Olympic Games and Norway took full advantage of it to regain world supremacy on ice and snow.
Super-skiier Jean-Claude Killy of France became the only triple gold medal winner of the games—as millions of Frenchmen had predicted—and the United States did about as well as expected with seven medals despite a jinx that haunted America's top skiers all the way.
Russia's Valdimir Beloussov came through with a stunning upset in the 90-meter ski jump that closed the 13-day event Sunday but by then the once-powerful Soviet team already had lost the medal race it dominated since entering the competition in 1956.
Norway, all-time winter olympic leader, piled up six gold, six silver and two bronze medals against second-place Russia's five gold, five silver and three bronze
That was far off Russia's landslide at Innsbruck, Austria, four years ago when the Soviets amassed 25 medals including 11 of gold.
Lydia became a mother between Olympics. She finished out of the medal-running in the two events she entered at Grenoble.
The conservative Russian coaches gambled on tested veterans rather than newcomers and it was a risk they lost except in hockey. Lydia Skoblikova, who swept all four women's speed skate events at Innsbruck, was one of the losing veterans.
The U.S., shut out in ski events, nevertheless managed to collect one more medal than it had at Innsbruck with elegant figure skate queen Peggy Fleming of Colorado Springs, Colo., scoring the lone gold medal triumph.
Tim Wood, 19-year-son of a Detroit surgeon, won a silver medal in men's figure skating and though Terry McDermott, only American gold medal winner in 1964 and now 27 years old, came out of retirement to share a silver medal in men's 500 meters speed skating.
Mary Meyers of St. Paul, Minn., Jenny Fish of Strongville, Ohio, and 16-year-old Dianne Holum of Northbrook, Ill., added silver medals in an unprecedented triple tie for second place in the women's 500 and Dianne added a bronze in the 1,000 meters.
Beloussov romped off with Russia's first ski jumping medal in history at St. Nizier Sunday before a throng of 20,000 with two almost perfect jumps for a gold medal total of 231.3 points.
Jiri Raska of Czechoslovakia, who won the gold medal on the 70-meter hill a week earlier, collected the silver medal with 229.4 points and Lars Grini of Norway was third at 214.3 while Norway's world champion, Bjoern Wirkola was a poor 24th.
He cracked the hill record on his first jump of 333 feet. .06 inches. Then the run-in on the hill was shortened as a safety precaution and he followed with 321 feet, 7 3/4 inches.
Best of four U.S. jumpers was Bill Bakke of Madison, Wis., 34th with a score of 175.5 and a best flight of 297 feet.
Driving for pleasure is the nation's most popular outdoor recreational activity, says the Commerce Department.
