Vacation plans
National parks
By ANGELA ROGERS
Collegian Staff Writer
. For most people, summer means vacation and
in recent years the flood of tourists has shifted
from traditional European vacation spots to
national parks in the United States.
Frank Mazzoti, assistant professor of environ
mental resource management, cited increasing
environmental awareness, increased leisure
time and more accessible parks as reasons for
the rise in national parks tourism.
Another reason is that more people live in
urban areas and feel a greater need to return to

Although partks suffer some abuse because of

is not direct.
Mazzoti mentioned some examples of abuse

NATO expected to
support Kremlin offer
By ROBERT J. WIELAARD
Associated Press Writer
REYKJAVIK, Iceland Foreign
ministers of NATO meeting here to
day are expected to support Kremlin
offers to work toward ridding Europe
of nuclear weapons with ranges
above 300 miles.
October, President Reagan and Sovi
et leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev
agreed in principle to the elimination
of medium-range missiles those
with ranges of 600-1,500 miles. U.S.
and Soviet negotiators in Geneva are
discussing such an agreement.
Two months ago, Gorbachev ex
tended the offer to include missiles
with ranges of 300-600 miles, in which
the United States says the Soviets
have a huge advantage.
A common response from the North
Atlantic alliance has been delayed
because the European allies, partic
ularly West Germany, have been
worried about their vulnerability to
superior Soviet conventional forces if
the nuclear umbrella is removed.
Last week, West German Chan
cellor Helmut Kohl’s government en
dorsed the proposals with the proviso
that its 72 short-range Pershing lAs,
which have,a range of 450 miles, be
excluded from any agreement. The
missiles are controlled by West Ger
many and their nuclear warheads by
the United States.
Lord Carrington, the alliance’s
British secretary-general, said
Wednesday: “It is now within reach
that we get an agreement on the

elimination of all or most” of the
superpowers’ medium- and short
range missiles in Europe.
He said the allies will support re
moval of the weapons but also em
phasize their desire for East-West
talks to reduce chemical and conven
tional arms, in which “there is an
'inbalance in the Warsaw Pact’s fa
vor.”
West Germany is expected to insist
on U.S.-Soviet negotiations on reduc
ing battlefield, or tactical, nuclear
arms. As the front-line NATO coun
try, it would bear the brunt of an
attack with such weapons.
At their Reykjavik summit, Rea
gan and Gorbachev agreed in prin
ciple that an accord on medium
range weapons would remove the
U.S.-built Pershing 2 and cruise mis
siles, and Soviet SS-20s, from Europe
and allow each superpower to keep
100 warheads on its own soil.
Those 200 remaining medium
range missiles probably would be
deployed in Soviet Asia and Alaska.
A senior NATO official, who spoke
on condition of anonymity, said the
final communique from the foreign
ministers’ meeting will “likely state
that the allies preferably want all
such missiles removed. ... This
would make verification of compli
ance with the accord simpler.”
About cuts in conventional arms,
Carrington said “there are procedu
ral difficulties” in allied consulta
tions conducted over the past year.
He added, however, that “it is
perfectly natural that there should be
such difficulties."

Strong earthquake shakes up
11 states through the Midwest
By The Associated Press
A strong earthquake rattled parts of 11 Midwestern
states from Missouri to West Virginia yesterday evening,
shaking buildings in downtown Milwaukee, Chicago and
Detroit.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or dam
age.
“We’ve had a pretty strong earthquake,” reported
Bruce Presgrave of the National Earthquake Information
Center of the U.S. Geological Survey in Golden, Colo.
“We’re still working it. We don’t have a magnitude yet
but apparently it was felt over a pretty wide area in the
Midwest.”
The quake was felt in Missouri, lowa, Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Tennessee, West
Virginia and Pennsylvania.
“We haven’t gotten any official information, but we felt
it here,” said Dennis Dixon, a National Weather Service
forecaster in Ann Arbor, about 40 miles west of Detroit.
“I was sitting here at the (computer) screen and things
started moving,” he said.
Dixon said it occurred about 7:50 p. m. and continued for
several minutes. In Illinois, the earthquake was felt as far
north as Chicago, and as far south as the St. Louis border.
The tremor rumbled through several Illinois cities, shak
ing skyscrapers in Chicago and the state Capitol in
Springfield.
“It was a fairly large earthquake in northeastern
‘lllinois,” said Sean Morrissey of the geophysics depart
ment at St. Louis University. “We don’t have any magni
tude yet. We felt it in our building here.”
“I was sitting in my office watching the file cabinets
move,” said Cmdr. Richard Walton of the Springfield

Police Department, who said there had been no reports of
damage or injuries in the state capital.
E. Erie Jones, executive director of the Central United
States Earthquake Consortium based in Marion, esti
mated the tremor was in “excess of three” on the Richter
scale, a magnitude that can cause slight damage.
“But we won’t know for a couple of hours until we get
the seismograph readings,” Jones said. “I sure sensed it.
It rang the chimes on our clock.
Workers in Detroit buildings and Tiger Stadium also
felt the tremor, and a guest on the eighth floor of the 25-
story Hotel Ponchartrain downtown felt it, said night
manager Ophelia Twine. The tremor also was felt in
Grand Rapids, Milwaukee and Chicago.
Patients at a Parkersburg, W.Va., hospital were upset
by the quake, hospital workers said.
“They’re a little bit shook: up, but we’ve got them
calmed down,” said Terry Everson, a nurse at Camden-
Clark Memorial Hospital.
She said “some beds were shaking, but nothing really
dramatic happened. The people walking around couldn’t
really feel anything.”
Everson said the tremor was very brief,
The quake also was felt in many parts of Tennessee,
said Millie McGuigan, a spokeswoman for the Tennessee
Emergency Management Agency in Nashville.
