     Gem Cover Up Contest fails 
     
     to hide talent and good times

     At 9:15 the first entrants 
     
     showed up — two Policy stu- 
     
     dents wanting to paint the 
     
     call letters from their ficti- 
     
     tious radio station on the Vet 
     
     College Fence. . 
     
    

    
     At'3230 the last to enter 
     
    
   
   
    
     arrived — a father‘ whose 
     
     children wanted to paint 
     
     Garfield and Odie. 
     
    
   
   
    
     In between, twenty murals 
     
     were painted on the nine-foot 
     
     high white construction fence 
     
     surrounding the Atlantic 
     
     Veterinary College site. 
     
    

    
     And why? 
     
    

    
     Because Saturday was the 
     
     day of the first ever Netted 
     
     Gem Cover Up contest, and 
     
    
   
   
    
     degree temperatures and 
     
     bright sunshine highlighting 
     
     the red, blue, and yellow 
     
     latex paints in cans, in ice 
     
     cream containers, on paint- 
     
     brushes, and on both fence 
     
     and clothing.

     The fifty dollar prize went 
     
     to Patty and Christine
