Ind. (UPI) Purdue University is banning the school's traditional "Nude Olympics" because letting students run naked on a winter's night is a health hazard and presents an improper image of the Big Ten school, the universitys president says. "When you've got 300 people running around stark naked at minus 50 degrees, you run the major risk of frostbite and losing tips of noses, fingers, genitalia, breasts, toes and so on." said President Steven C. Beering. Beering, who was dean of the Indiana University Medical School before becoming Purdue president. said he is bowing to a recommendation from a university committee and is banning the event, which started as a prank by male students in the late 1950s when "streaking" was a fad. Since then it has become a win tertime tradition for both men and women students on the north-centrIndiana campus. The students shuck their clothes for an impromptu race around the University's Cary Quad square. "Its certainly not a wholesome thing to have that kind of goings-on.- " the president said, explaining it's just not a proper image for a Big Ten university with one of the country's finest engineering programs. Some student leaders, including editors of the campus newspaper and student government, ciaim Beering is wrong. "It s the one thing a lot of students see as a Purdue tradition one thing that sets Purdue apart." said Ginger L. Thompson, managing editor of the Purdue Exponent newspaper. "It kind of belongs to the students." Thompson said she doubts if the school administrators would able to stop the racing. Thousands of people line the perimeter of the square to cheer on the contestants who usually have been primed with alcohol to serve as their antifreeze. Like the nude racing, the alcohol is illegal on the "dry" Purdue campus. Beering, who was among the spectators at last year's race, said he expects to prosecute students if they participate this year. Charges likely would be public indecency. He admits he never has heard of any serious injuries, weather-relateor otherwise, caused by the event. d ?

Reagan said there was "irrefutable evidence" that the Libyan leader was involved in the airport massacres in Rome and Vienna, but offered none. The president said he takes seriously Khadafy 's threats to dispatch suicide squads to this country. "I find that he's not only a barbarian, but he's flaky." he added. Reagan opened by announcing the economic embargo, saying that Khadafy provided support for terrorists led by Abu Nidal. the Palestinian who Reagan said was responsible for the airport attacks. A statement accompanying Reagan's remarks said: "U S. companies will no longer pump Libyan oil or purchase it for sale anywhere in the world. U.S. construction and management firms will no longer aid major Criminal sanctions will face any American Libyan projects participating in the Libyan economy." ASTRONOMERS REPORT DISCOVERY OF BLACK HOLE Two astronomers say they have discovered a third black hole, an object believed to be a collapsed star so condensed that light and matter cannot escape its gravity. The discovery was anCennounced by Jeffrey MeClintoek of the ter for Astrophysics and Ronald A. Remillard of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Remillard said the existence of black holes was impossible to prove. Although their presence can only be deduced by observation of the objects around them, "the circumstances can be strong enough in some minds to be proof." he said. "This is very close to proof. The astronomers said the third black hole was a couple of thousand light years away, in the constellation Monoceros. MINERS STAGE WILDCAT STRIKES Union coal miners did not report to work at the Wilberg and Cottonwood mines, expanding a wildcat strike to include all four mines operated by Emery Mining Corp. Nearly 800 union members are now participating in the walkout, which began to protest a change in the company's policy governing "floating" vacation days. Emery Mining plans to seek a temporary restraining order in federal court to force the miners to end the strike, which is illegal under terms of the company-uniocontract, said company spokesman Bob Henrie.

The company said it would give the owners three options: they can exchange their cameras for Kodak's newest disc camera and two film cartridges, they can exchange the camera for a coupon book with $50 worth of rebates on Kodak photographic products or they can turn their cameras in and get one share of Kodak stock.

REAGAN FREEZES LIBYAN ASSETS President Reagan froze Libyan assets in the United States as insurance against seizure of U.S. oil reserves by Moammar Khadafy. Asked about a possible U.S. military strike, he said, "Let him wonder whats on our minds." Those assets include limited holdings in U.S. banks and properties. At the same time U.S. diplomats were trying to convince European and other allies of Libya's link to the terrorists who killed 19 people, including live Americans, in two airport attacks last month.
