Marshall was accompanied into the grand jury room Tuesday by members of his staff and by Michael Ferriter, the county officer in charge of the police investigation. The grand jury will not meet again to take up the Bias case until July 21. Meanwhile, two television stations reported Tuesday that a federal drug investigation has been underway at the University of Maryland for the past six months. The investigation is said to center on drugs allegedly sold in a campus dormitory and may involve athletes, In the ratings, police ranked second to miners in job stress. Tied for third were construction workers, journalists, civil aviation pilots and prison guards. Cooper said it was impossible to come up with a set of factors to objectively measure stress because every occupation has its own way of manifesting stress from alcoho lism to divorce, heart disease to accidents. "What we decided to do was use .a rating by stress researchers using WXYC tower From staff reports WXYC, UNC's student-run radio station, suffered technical problems that caused it to be off the air three times over a five-day period this week.

Marshall said he was unaware of any federal investigation and Breckenridge Willcox, U.S. attorney for Maryland, did not return calls made by the Associated Press to his office. Marshall said last week that he expects to call some University of Maryland officials as well as people who were in the room with Bias the night he died to testify before the grand jury. He said he is interested in finding out who might have used illegal drugs their professional judgment," he said. Researchers rated stress on a scale from 10 to 0. Miners were rated 8.3, police 7.7 and the next four jobs construction workers, journalists, civil aviation pilots and prison guards rated 7.5. Stockbrokers were 5.5, higher than bus drivers at 5.4.

Roaches in Texas vie for honors From Associated Press reports All entries are in for Texas Largest Cockroach contest, and the Smithsonian Institution has requested the winning bug for display even before the measuring begins. More than 200 specimens dead and alive, in jelly jars and shoeboxes were entered before Monday's deadline, said sponsor Michael Bohdan of the Pest Shop-Bizzy Bees Pest Control Co. in Dallas. Contestants were vying for the $1,000 grand prize. Sally Love, curator of the insect zoo at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., said the zoo already has about four species of cockroaches, but she was inter ested in the contest's winner because of Texas' reputation for producing bigger and better breeds. The Texas judging will be July 11, Bohdan said Tuesday. A strong contender was Homer, nabbed in a Texas Wom an's University kitchenette and measuring in at about 3 inches. "I don't know how hell rate against the other monsters," said captor Chris Graham. "We've been fattening him with crackers and sugar water." Cindy Bigham, 33, who cap tured Buster at the Southern Baptist Convention Annuity Board meeting, said she made the catch with an envelope, "when 1 saw it, I said, 'There's a thousand dollars crawling on the floor.' " Bohdan said he is keeping the contestants in his office, feeding the live roaches daily. "When this is done ... I plan lo take a nice long fishing trip and . exterminate the office," he said.
