Still reeling from the
1980 measles outbreak,
state and county health
officials are auditing
student immunization
records to determine
compliance with vacci-
nation requirements.
Dr. Charles Cameron,

partment's deputy com-
missioner for public
health services, said In-
vestigators currently

NEW YORK (AP) — A grand jury investigating
the murders of three CBS employees and a federal
witness will be told that a .22-caliber shell casing
fired from the murder weapon was found in the
van of a man seized Monday by Kentucky police,
officials say.
A spokesman for Manhattan District Attorney
Robert Morgenthau said Wendesday night that a
grand jury would consider (he casing and other
evidence found in a van owned and driven by Don-
ald Bowers, 46. of Keansburg. N.J., who has a 20-
year criminal record
Bowers, extradited Wednesday night from Ken-
tucky to New York, was to appear before Judge
Daniel Fitzgerald today in Manhattan Criminal
Court on a charge that he fled before he could be
sentenced on a conviction earlier this month for
forging a taxi license.
New York City Police Commissioner Robert J
McGuire said that what appeared to be bloods-
tains also were found inside Bowers' van Except
for its color, the van matched the description of a
white van seen on a West Side rooftop parking ga-
rage the night of the shootings. Maguire said But
he said the van recently had been painted black

NEW YORK (AP) - The stock market
headed higher today, adding to Wednesday's
gains. The Dow Jones average of 30 industri-
als rose 4.75 to 848.17 in the first half hour.

Aluminum Co. of America led the active
list in early trading, off % at 24%. A
150,000-share block traded at 24%. A favor-
able reading on inflation was expected Fri-
day in the government's monthly report on
the consumer price index. After a rise of just
0.3 percent in January and 0.2 percent in
February, Wall Street was expecting the in-
dex to show a similarly small increase for
March.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The University of Pitts-
burgh is investigating charges that undergradu-
ate students rolled and kicked seven human skulls
onto a field before a rugby match, horrifying their
opponents . ___
University spokesman Daryl Clemmens said
Wednesday night that a student judicial board
was looking into the allegations
Clemmens said Pitt officials were worried the
incident might hurt the university s organ donor
programs.
"The organs for transplantation get transplant-
ed," she said “We wouldn t want people consider-
ing organ transplantation donations to get con '
fused over what appears to be a misuse of anatom-
ical parts." ;
The allegations are that a group of rugby play -
ers rolled the skulls onto the field before matches
with a club from Huntingdon in Huntingdon Coun-
ty
The Huntingdon players, shocked by the dis-
play, demanded that the skulls be removed, the
Pittsburgh Poet-Gazette reported today.
The games were started and the Pittsburgh Al

4-0 and 3-0, according to the newspaper

Lynn Dick and his in-
laws, James and Betty
Morris had a dream:
With their own hands
they would build two
$35,000 houses on adja-
cent tracts in a pasto-
ral corner of the city.
They would live as
neighbors and later
perhaps sell the houses
for a profit and start
the process all over
again.
"It's a dream mar-
ried couples usually
have of building their
own homes," said Dick,
a service manager at
an auto dealership.
Dick. his wife Vicki
and the Morrises em-
barked on their dream
in April of 1480, when
they bought about 10
acres of land for the
project from Norman
developer Lee Pace and
his son Darren.
But the land did not
meet minimum fron-
tage road requirements
for home construction,
so the Dicks and Mor-
rises were allowed to
transfer their money to
the purchase of two ad-
jacent 5-acre tracts in
the Hickory Ranchettes
addition, a Pace devel-
opment near SE 119
and Dobbs Road The
deeds, signed by Dar-
ren Pace, were filed in
June of 1980 at the
Cleveland County
Courthouse
For no money down,
the two couples bought
similar pre-cut homes
from Miles Homes of
Oklahoma City.

ing to the deal, they
