ROACHES from Page 1
and lockers. Again, no luck.
But Drohman kept the rumor alive.
"They get so big you could put sad
dles on them and ride them," he said,
suggesting a night-time search.
What now? In desperation, Kay Nickel
of the Modern Language department
was called on to translate "La Cu
caracha": The cockroach,
the cockroach,
It ca n 't go on anymore.
Because it doesn 't have,
Because it lacks,
Marijuana to smoke.
Teeny-weeny roach clips? Nah. . .
Royce E. Ballinger, director of the
biological sciences department, tried
to clear the smoke. Rumors of Mada
gascar hissing cockroaches running loose
around campus are "completely un
substantiated and untrue," he said.
But one more site remained un
checked Manter Hall.
The animal room in the basement
was filled with many cute, white (and
dogsized) rabbits.
However, upstairs in a. fourth floor
office, Professor Brent Nickol, st ogie in
hand, admitted to possession of cock
roaches. Inside a room just down the
hall from Nickol's office were plastic
bins holding thousands of roaches. Two
types are housed in the room Ameri
can cockroaches (big suckers) and
wood roaches.
But Nickels doesn't just study cock
roaches; he studies the parasites that
live on them.
Not to be outdone, the AP's "Mr.
Roach," Gold, told me that there were
indeed other breeds of roaches over at
.the East Campus Insectary. But none
.had escaped from there, either he said.

The University Committee for Fee
Allocations vote 6-3 Thursday against
granting $882 to the GayLesbian
Programming Committee, but reinstated
S40G for a Safe-Sex seminar, which
members said would be a proper
expenditure.
The remaining $47(5 was added to a
Special Events funds, which CPA
members suggested by used by the
Gay Lesbian Committee for chosen
events. The University Program Coun
cil's original proposal would have
subsidized the committee with funds
for a slide presentation, a lesbian
cabaret comedy performer, a movie, the
Safe-Sex seminar, and a two-hour
presentation called "Sexuality and
Homophobia." The total cost of these
programs would have been $2,502.
Estimated ticket sales could have
generated up to $1,620, the proposal
said, creating a need of only $882.
At a CFA open hearing on the proposal
last month, some opposing the com
mittee's events said they were con
cerned the committee would only
benefit the gay community, primarily
those active in the Gay Lesbian Asso
ciation. Supporters for the Committee's
formation said the programming is
needed to educate students on the
disease Acquired Immune Deficiency
Syndrome and the gay culture.
