ESTABLISHED 1894

Assistant News Editor

Testimony presented today in the preliminary
hearing ofjay McCoy, former UK assistant dean of
students and fraternity adviser, indicates he admitted
to forging the checks in question by the University.

Lt. Robert Abrams of the UK Police Department
said McCoy told Dean of Students David Stockham
and Assistant Dean of Students Victor Hazard that
he had written checks to himself and that he had
deposited them in his account after they confronted
him with audit information on the Interfraternity
Council bank account.

“He readily admitted to them that he had taken
the money and written the checks,” Abrams said.

Abrams said Stockham and Hazard talked to
McCoy on June 27 and that is when McCoy said he
was responsible for the loss of funds in the IFC
account.

McCoy’s case has been referred to a Fayette

The UK Board of Trustees
approved a new doctorate pro~
gram for the College of Social
Work yesterday.

The plan will be submitted to
the Council on Higher Education
because the council must approve
all new dearee programs.

UK wiIl offer the new social
work doctorate jointly with the
Unix ersity of Louisville.

Faculty members from both
schools participated in the design
of the rogram, and the Graduate
School; of the two universities
will administer the program.

Courses may be taken at both
schools, and shared courses will be
handled through distance learning
technologies.

Previously, UK and U of L
were the only two of the top 20
social work programs in the coun-
try that did not offer a doctorate.

In other board business, Ed
Carter, vice resident for mana e—
ment and udget, presente a
report on the progress of the
Coldstream Research Campus.

Carter said previous restric-
tions on development, such as lack
of a proper sewer s stem and the
College of Agricu ture’s animal
research farm on the site, have
been cleared up.

He said the Lexington—
Fayette Urban County Govern-
ment put in additional sewer ser-
vice.

Carter said the research cam-

to development worldwide.

The remainder of Coldstream,
225 acres, has been given to the
city for park land.

He said the marketers should
be successful in their venture.

“If they don’t sell, they don’t
get paid,” Carter said.

NATION Student e-mailer
receives suspension

STAMFORD, (Lonn. — A prank death threat
sent b ' e-mail to President Clinton earned a high
schotifstutlent a visit from the Secret Service and
a month’s suspension.

The message, sent Oct. 9 over the Internet,
read: “To Pres. Clinton: You are Dead." The e—
mail apparently made it to the \Vhitc llouse,
school officials said.

The computer message was sent by a l7vycar-
old senior at Trinity Catholic High School, one
of scores of schools across Connecticut benefiting
from a volunteer effort to link classrooms to the
Internet.

No criminal charges were filed.

Monsignor Frank C. Wissell, president of
diocesan secondary schools, said Monday that the
message was “a very immature, inappropriate joke
that was not funny.”

Secret Service agents spoke to the youngster,
his parents and school officials. The agency would
not comment on the investigation.

m Peace talks near completion

TI‘TL AVIV, Israel —- After a brief crisis. US.
mediated peace talks between Israel and the
Palestinians were back on track yesterday and
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said a deal
was “very close to completion."

'I‘alks lasted into yesterday evening at .1
Jerusalem hotel, and Israel Radio said a dcal on
Israel‘s long-delayed pullout from the \Vcst Bani,
town of l chron might be announced during the

 

night.
The sides reached agreement early yesterday
morning on the future administration of civil

affairs in Hebron and were close to agreeing (V)
the security arrangements, Israeli reports said.

“I hope it will be finished quickly," Net-anyahn
said of the agreement. He told reporters that a
meeting between him and Palestinian leader
Yasser Arafat would be “desirable" when an
accord is reached.

But despite the optimism of the Israeli side, the
Palestinians have said they do not want to settle
for a deal that resolves only the question of
Hebron. They aISo want Israel to stop expansion
ochwish settlements, ease the closure of Pales—
tinian areas, release Palestinian prisoners and
resolve other outstanding issues.

GM negotiates with Toronto workers

TORONTO — General Motors settled a
three-week strike with its workers in Canada yes-
terday, resolving a power struggle over job securi-
ty that had idled more than 46,000 workers across
North America.

The Canadian Auto Workers’ 26,300 strikers
were expected to ratify the agreement in a vote
Wednesday, and they could be back at work by
the end of the week.

Once the Canadian plants resume roduction,
GM should be able to start bringingback nearly
20,000 U.S. and Mexican workers laid off because
ofstrike-related disruptions. But it will take time
for the Canadian plants to produce and ship the
parts that other plants need before they can bring
all their workers back.

To the union, the lengthy negotiations were .1
ground—breaking and successful challenge to
GM’s ability to decide on its own whether to sell
plants and to “outsource" — farm out union work
on auto parts to cheaper independent sup liers.

Now the automaker confronts simi ar talks
with its workers in the United States. Negotiators
for the United Auto \Vorkcrs and GM met Mon-
day in Detroit after a weekend recess, and the
talks are expected to intensify now that there is a
settlement in Canada.

3”" NAACP closes in louisville

LOUISVILLE, Ky. —— The Louisville branch
ofthe NAACP has lost its general counsel in the
wake of a controversy concerning construction of
the University of Louisville football stadium.

In a letter written yesterday to President San-
dra B ant, Cecil Blyc announced that the
Louisville law firm of Blyc, Blye & Blyc would no
longer represent the Louisville NAACP branch.
“Any lawsuit against the University of Louisville
allegin minority non—participation will utterly
fail, B ye said in the letter.

The Louisville NAACP voted to support
Louisville Alderman Paul Bather and civil rights
activist Louis Coleman’s threat of a lawsuit
against the university. Bather and Coleman con-
tend the school is discriminating by not including
minorities in the football stadium project.

Racial assualt grips Iowa

By Tara Deering

(Li-\VlRl‘.) AMFS, Iowa ~—
l)cantrious Mitchell spoke up for
the first time Monday night since
being beaten by a group of white
men early Friday morning.

Mitchell, 20, a student security
officer and a sophomore in com»
puter engineering who was
assaulted Friday behind llclscr
llall, spoke briefly at the Black
Student Alliance meeting last
night in the Pioneer Room of the
Memorial Union.

Mitchell, who is from VVatcr—
loo. said that night he had to do
rounds at \Vcstgatc, Ilclscr and
Buchanan halls. Ile was on his
way to Buchanan llzill when the
incident occurred. Mitchell said
he could say nothing further and
sat back down.

Mitchell had a bandage that
covered a )ortion of his check on
the left side of his face. He spoke

assertively.

The meeting was an open
forum for students to talk with
about 10 university officials pre-
sent about the racially motivated
assault.

DPS Associate Director Jerry
Stewart said Mitchell was assault-
cd near Clyde Williams Ficld
about 2 a.m Friday . Police reports
indicate a “cutting instrument"
was used during the attack.

DPS officials would not say
what was used to cut Mitchell in
several places.

After the attack Mitchell start-
ed walking toward Helscr, when
his patrol partner, Stephen
Kennedy, saw a battered Mitchell
and radioed for help, police said.
An ambulance soon arrived and
cased Mitchell to the ground near
Lot 59A to assist him.

The attackers shouted racial
slurs at Mitchell. In more than
one instance the word “nigger”

Stewart said officials have a
two- -p:igc task list involving the
investigation. DPS efforts so far in
the investigation include canvass-
ing neighborhoods including
Canipustown and convenience
stores. DPS officials have consult—
ed the Allies Police Department
about the case. A $1,000 reward
for any information leading to the
identification, arrest and convic—
tion of the individuals responsible
has been offered by the university.

In addition, the Union Drive
Assocmtion Student Senate unani-
mously passed a bill last night
allotting $200 more to the reward
fund.

“Rewards have been offered in
the past for serious crimes, and
this method has proven successful
on some occasions," Stewart said.
There had been no arrests as of
press time Monday.

Stewart said DPS officials have
examined the evidence that has
bccn gathered, and a number of
follow-up assignments have been
made.

“We are treating this very seri—
ously," he said.

Mitchell have not been discussed.

Ames police officials said they
are not involved in the investiga-
tion because the incident occurred
on ISU property.

One of the questions stressed
by BSA members and faculty was
the handling of information by
the university.

“I admit that it was hard for the
press to obtain information,"
Anderson said. He said the case
would suffer if officials released
the racial slurs that were said.

A heated discussion revolved
around President Martin Jischke's
written statement that appeared in
Monday's Daily. Many felt the
president’s letter did not give both
sides.

Milton McGriff, a black stu—
dent leader with the Scpt. 29
Movement was especially critical
ofJischke.

“Based on the statement that
he gave we [black students] are
still being ignored."

ealitornia tires hurt six firefighters

By Lynn Elber

Armoured Press

CARLSBAD, Calif. — Fleets
of helicopters and airplanes roared
through Southern California
canyons yesterda , dropping water
on erratic, win ~blown wildfires
that have burned 95 houses and
injured six firefighters.

Helter-skelter Santa Ana winds
turned dry brush and oil-rich
eucalyptus trees into blowtorches,
spreading flames across 35,000
acres.

By Tuesday afternoon, the
major fires were less than half con-
tained and some flared up again as
the devil wind shifted and gusted
up to 41 mph.

Six firefighters working a flare-
up in the Malibu fire were hurt,
and three of them were airlifted to
a hospital burn unit after their
truck stalled and flames roared
over them in Corral Canyon.

“This is life threatening. These

are very serious burns,” Glendale
fire Marshal Dave Starr said. One
of the firemen had burns over 60
percent of his body and airway
damage, another had serious burns
on his arms and hands and a third
was in fair condition with superfi—
cial burns that may require
surgery.

Another firefighter broke his
neck in a traffic accident while
rushing to a blaze, and a civilian in
Carlsbad suffered burns over 45
percent of his body.

Thousands of peo 1e fled their
homes, schools and usinesses in
four counties Monday as flames
exploded, propelled through the
canyons by winds that gusted as
high as 71 mph.

Yesterday many were learning
the worst.

“I saw the news and they were
standing in the rubble of our
home,” said Lou Stark, who lost
his Carlsbad home.

His wife wasn’t sure. “She said,

‘Maybe it’s not ours.’ I said, ‘Yes,
it’s ours.”’

Carlsbad was the site of the
worst fire, a fast-moving blaze that
burned at least 60 houses and 10
other structures over 8,592 acres
in the 65,700-resident suburb on
northern San Diego County’s
seashore.

Just east of Carlsbad, authori-
ties ordered evacuations early
Tuesday for parts of San Marcos, a
retirement community of 42,800
people.

In the celebrity seashore
enclave of Malibu in Los Angeles
County, flames charred 13,650
acres and destroyed five houses
and a mobile home, and more than
1,000 people were evacuated dur-
ing the height of the fire Monday.

Gov. Pete Wilson declared a
state of emergency in San Diego
County. A similar declaration, let-
ting the state reimburse local gov-
ernments for firefighting, was
expected for Los Angeles County.

Nor'easter blamed 101‘ 8811811 deaths

PORTLAND, Maine ——
Floodwaters from a storm that
dumped up to 18 inches of rain on
the Northeast ruptured a pipeline
yesterday leaving at least 120,000
people in and around Maine’s
largest city without drinking
water.

The powerful weekend
nor’easter was blamed for at least
seven deaths from New Jersey to
New Hampshire. Another person
was missing in Maine.

“No showers, no coffee and I
can’t even use the bathroom,” said
Laurie Davis of Westbrook, just
outside Portland.

Davis couldn’t even leave home
to get bottled water —— she was
stranded because two nearby
bridges were washed out.

A 48-inch main that carries
water about 25 miles from Sebago
Lake to the Portland area was bro—
ken in at least four places.

There was no word on when

service would be restored, and the
area’s 170,000 customers were
told to boil any water they did get.

‘1' he state’s largest hospital,
Maine Medical Center in Port-
land, canceled all elective surgery
but was able to maintain emergen-
cy services.

The floodwaters apparently
washed away the soil supporting
the pipeline.

“The pipe is stabilized by the
soil it’s resting on. Ifthe soil gets
washed away, the pipe will bend or
break. It just doesn’t have any sup-
port,” said Dana Perkins, a Port-
land Water District spokeswom-
an.

“This obviously is the worst
thing we’ve ever had. We were
organized in 1908, and I don’t
think anybody’s seen anything this
bad.”

Flooding also shut down the
water supply for Exeter, N.H., and
service was not expected to be
restored for two to three weeks.
An estimated 1,000 people were

evacuated.

Authorities in Rockingham
County, N .H ., moved 1 15 inmates
out of the county jail because the
bottom floor was under 2 feet of
water. '

“I’ve never seen it this bad in
17 years,” said John DiSanto,
owner of Anjon’s Italian Restau—
rant in Scarborough, Maine.

“The water was waist-high in
the parking lot. The whole first
floor is under 6 inches of water.”

Residents from New Jersey to
Massachusetts began to head
home after spending the night in
emergency shelters.

In Boston, water lapped at the
entrance to a subway line before
receding, homeowners got on a
waiting list for pumps to remove
the stinking raw sewage from their
basements.

“What we’re looking at is the
ugly, gunky, germy aftermath,”
said Arlene Margolis, spokeswom-
an for the Massachusetts Emer—

gency Management Agency.

\VASIIING'I‘ON ——- A for-
mer FBI headquarters manager
was accused yesterday of
obstructing justice by destroying
all traces of an internal critique
ofthe bureau’s deadly I992 siege
at Ruby Ridge, Idaho.

The apparent plea bargain
with F.. Michael Kahoe might
lead to coverup charges against
some of the four other suspend—

under investigation for their role
in shootings at th
