The situation has begun to worry police. "Bigfoot." as the residents have , named the alleged eight foot• tall monster. has captured imaginations and curiousities ever since the discovery of an 18-inch footprint on a dreary fog shrouded dawn two months ago. Subsequent "sightings" of the red-eyed, foul smelling beast have been treated as a joke and a fantasy by most officials. Now; however, police face acts as John Casciotti, president of the Liberal Arts Student Council. said. "any student in the college who comes to the meeting." Many college councils were having trouble getting student interest and help last Fall Term. The College of Health, Physical Education and Recreation did not ,have a student council for three or' four years till last fall, when repregentatives from the college organizations where elected to service on the student council.

Find me a couple of prints The Academic Assembly meets every two mammoth and "I'll bring out the dogs. I don't want to discount it, but get me some concrete evidence." All the evidence that exists apparently is in the possession of Stan Gordon. a 23-year-old electronics specialist who took two weeks off work to gather information on Bigfoot. Gordon has obtained waste samples and hair that he wants to have analyzed but his investigation doesn't appear tp. have much credibility where it counts. Gordon, whose background includes the presidency of a UFO club, has made a plaster cast of one of the three-toed footprints. But officials contend, "it could have been drawn in the mud with a person's finger." on academics "Some reports came to us even before the publicity began," Gordo aid. "There is always a possibility..." Among the troop of witnesses is John Chedrick Jr., • a steelworker who became a believer in Bigfoot while toweling himself off after a shower. "I glanced out the window and saw two shinyi eyes," he recalled. "They were reddish. like a dog's when you shine a light in them at night. I got so scared I jumped into bed." The bathroom window is eight feet off the ground, he said. Chedrick, 61, suffered chest pains the next day and was taken to a hospital.
