After Soviet troops led an invasion into Afghanistan, the US propsed an Olympic boycott. An estimated 31 countries joined in the protest. President Jimmy Carter suggested the USs withdrawal from the games after meeting with approximately lOO athletes, coaches, and trainers. During the conference, Carter claimed that he understood the athletes ' point of view, but asserted that no matter which countries participated, the US would not. Many events were affected by the lack of contestants. The American Track Team, for instance, had at least four men favored to win medals, as did the swimming team. Also, many gymnasts and wrestlers were expected to bring home American victories. Even though the American athletes were not able to compete in Moscow, they have already begun preparation for the 1984 Olympics. Mount Blows Pumice, Ash Mount St. Helens had its third major eruption in a month on Thursday. June 12. The explosion was heard in Seattle. Washington, over lOO miles away. Huge mushroom clouds, filled with black volcanic ash. rose to 55,ooo feet— keeping the boiling crater hidden for approximately 1 5 hours. Ten miles south of the mountain, pebbles of pumice half an inch to one inch in diameter fell on Cougar, Washington, Prior to the blast, a significant earthquake shook the mountain. Later, harmonic tremors were noticed on seismograph readings, indicating the underground movement of molten rock. Residents within a 20 mile radius of the peak were evacuated. Experts dealing with the Mt. St. Helens activity will not predict that an end is in sight. Some warn that eruptions could end with this one or could continue for 20 years. page 8 i s
