Tit Umlwersifty m lmiwpffii By Barry E.Kate asd Brian Flinchpaugfe Missouriao staff writers The University received more than $16 million in property income last year, most of it as a by-produ- ct of research m areas ranging from animal husbandry to forestry The University controls or leases the rights to more than 33,257 acres, 29,697 of which are off-camp- us. Beyond state boundaries, the University controls 1,433 acres of land In some cases, the University owns the property outright; in others, it owns just mineral rights During Use fiscal year ending June 30, 1976, the University received income generated by land tract holdings of approximately $1,669,102, according to a report prepared for the Columbia Missourian by Kent Shelton, University comptrollir. About $1,314,140 of this income was generated through the sale of EgriraltJiral research by-produc- ts, ths report said These sales included livestock and poultry products, crops, fruits and milk from dairy herds The balance of approximately $345,080 was received from rents, leases, share-croppin-g contracts and other sources, the report said These figures represent a mixture of gross and net income, says Shelton Despite the size of the property holdings, land management respon-sibilities are scattered among various departments of the University. In some cases, financial information, such as expenses related to specific income, does not exist "I don't really believe there is a way to tell which expenses go to generate each product," he says. "Our management practices are not the same in a nonprofit mission as in a profit mission." The University's primary missions are Instruction and research, not making money, he says Tha University uses standard ac counting procedures recommended by the National Association of Colleges and Universities These standard procedures facilitate regular audits by independent accounting firms, the federal, and sometimes the state, government, Shelton says The University's nonprofit mission also dictates who manages each land tract Direct management respon-sibility is diffused throughout the University For example, much of the property is under the auspices of the Agricultural Experiment Station, which manages four research centers throughout the state Homer L'Hote, assistant director of the experiment station, also manages the 7,923-Bcr- e Weldon Spring tract in St Charles County Recent logging operations and timber sales on the property were criticized by several legislators who said the transactions were mishandled. The department of agronomy manages several properties, including the 524-ac-re Bradford Farm in Boone County The farm, a gift to the University, is located in an ideal climate for agricultural research. The soil, too, is excellent for crop studies Consequently, many research ac-tivities take place on the farm, in-cluding crop breeding, weed centre! and soil fertility programs Farm researchers also are engaged in several entomology studies focusing on plant damage from insects The School of Forestry, Fisheries ard Wildlife, with large forest tracts in Ashland and southeast Missouri, also manages several thousand acres The nature and use of University properties vary Agricultural research predominates Feed, animal, agronomy and horticulture studies are some of the activities taking place m farms managed by the Agricultural Experiment Station Other uses range from biomedical (See GUT-OF'S-T ATE, page 7A) Rav sill I iTVdM a-- 2A- - y VJ" a II W m JUL Jo. - M w si HI V FSroan our ware uemces PETROS TEN - JanvsEariRav convicted assassin of Or Martin Luther King Jr remained at large Saturdav night but the FBI said it was confident Ra and four other com icts ere stul m the East Tennesset mountains possibh w ithin a few miles o the prison from which thev escaped 24 hour, earlier A sixth member of the group Dav id Lee Powell 27 gave upquieth shorth after 2 pjn Saturdav when he was spotted b a state police helicopter Tw--o other men whom the authorities believed to be escaped prisoners were with Powell when he was sighted but fled into nearbv a cods and escaped The were not identified A spokesman for the Department of Public Safeh said the captured inmate did not appear to ha e been part of the original escape plot He saw the (escape) ladder on the wall and ran for it It was not known whether others amonc tht tscapers also acted en unpuls Meanwhile authorities said taet belie t J tht w ere closing n on Ha and tht otntrs M Jit pnson officials offered the nt w that the ingeniouslv executed bolt our the wall of the 35-vear-- oid masttnum secunt facLtv --was con-ctn- ed and nrganirtd b Ra Tix break was cameo out with almost flaw less precision Ra strung W ears as the con-fessed killer of the Re Dr Mattm Luther King Jr scrambled over a 14-fo- ot prison wall along with five other ' inmates on a makeshift ladder about I 30 p m Fnda and made off into the chill and rugged Smoki Mountains behind the prison About 150 prison guards state troopers sheriffs deputies and local police combed the woods with bloodhounds during the (SeeESCIPE pagel2Ai By Barry Katz Misaoorien staff writer Tbere's a new land of army m Missouri gearing up to fight an age-ol- d enemy energy waste The war already has begun, and a few bat&BS have been won, but tfce new recrMits are in or iong, long fight.
