Students in bicycle collision returned to class. Two
students involved in a bicycle collision Thursday are out of the
hospital and recovering. Lynn Deas, the mother of Melissa Deas, who
collided with cyclist Michael McLeod on Sanford Drive last
Wednesday, said Melissa went to classes Monday and is “determined”
to stay in school this quarter, despite a doctor’s advice to the contrary.
In the collision, Deas, a freshman pre-pharmacy major, suffered a
broken nose, chipped cheek bone, fractured skull and a concussion.
McLeod, a freshman journalism major, also went to class Monday. He
suffered a 3-inch cut in his forehead and a fracture under his eye.

ATLANTA (AP): Appeal filing may include shocker.' An
attorney for Wayne Williams said Friday he would file new petitions
next month appealing Williams’ murder convictions, and the papers
might include a confession from another person in the Atlanta child
deaths case. New York civil rights attorney William Kunstler, a
member of Williams’ legal team, said he notified Butts County
Superior Court Judge William H. Craig of his intention to file papers
in the case Feb. 9. “We may have a shocker in the way of a
confession,” Kunstler said in a telephone interview following the
ccr/ert-nce call. Kunstler declined to elaborate, other than to say the
confession is from someone other than Williams. Williams, a self-
proclaimed talent promoter and freelance photographer, was
convicted of murder in 1982 of two of 29 young blacks killed in
Atlanta from 1979 to 1981. He currently is serving two life sentences.
During his trial, in which the prosecution used fiber evidence,
Williams was linked to 10 other deaths in the string of slayings that
gripped the city for more than two years.
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP): Hostage marks third year.
Anglican envoy Terry Waite begins his fourth year as a hostage of
pro-Iranian Shiite Moslem militants on Saturday with his fate, and
those of other captives, apparently hinging on a power struggle in
Tehran A reliable Shiite source, who is familiar with the thinking of
the hostage-holding factions, said the issue of the 18 Westerners
missing in Lebanon is “on the back burner” until Iran’s political
infighting is settled. Waite, 50, disappeared in Moslem west Beirut
Jan. 20, 1987. He was last seen leaving his seaside hotel to keep a
rendezvous with kidnappers holding two Americans —journalist
Terry Anderson and Scottish-born educator Thomas Sutherland — to
negotiate their release. No group has claimed it holds Waite and
there has been no word on his fate. But Western and Lebanese
intelligence officials are convinced he is held by Islamic Jihad, or
Islamic Holy War, the group holding Anderson and Sutherland.
British intelligence sources said they believe he is still alive.
MOSCOW (AP): Soviet unrest continues. Soviet troops
broke through blockades set up by ethnic extremists in downtown
Baku early Saturday and killed at least seven people in street battles,
a spokeswoman for a militant Azerbaijani group said. She said two
pitched battles were fought inside the Azerbaijan capital, leaving at
least seven Azerbaijanis dead. The official news agency Tass,
however, had no reports of troops fighting in Baku, an oil center of 1.8
million residents. The army intervention, the first such combat
reported in Baku involving Soviet soldiers, came after ethnic riots
that flared turned into open warfare between Azerbaijani and
Armenian militants. Thousands of Soviet army and internal security
troops have poured into the southern republics for days, but had not
entered Baku until shortly after midnight Friday.
SAN SALVADOR (API: Trial ordered for 9 soldiers. The
director of the Military College was among nine Salvadoran soldiers
charged Friday with murdering six Jesuit priests in a case closely
watched by the U.S. Congress and human rights activists. Judge
Ricardo Zamora of the 4th Penal Court ordered Col. Guillermo
Benavides, three lieutenants and four enlisted men to stand trial. The
murder charges imply “premeditation and perfidy” and carry a
maximum sentence of 30 years, court secretary Nicolas Hernandez
said. The fifth enlisted man, who deserted in December, is a fugitive.
All six priests were educators at the Jose Simeon Canas Central
American University, one of the region’s leading institutions. The
priests, their housekeeper and her teenage daughter were dragged
out of their beds on the night of Nov. 16 and shot to death by
uniformed men.

GOP backs
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Republican Na
tional Chairman Lee Atwater said
Friday that the party welcomes
pro-choice candidates despite its
anti-abortion stance and told can
didates to face the divisive issue
squarely, whatever their views.
“What no voter likes is vacil
lating, waffling or double talk," At
water said at the winter meeting of
the Republican National Com
mittee. “And they don’t like the ap
pearance of vacillation, waffling or
double talk."
Atwater noted that he, Presi
dent Bush and the party platform
are anti-abortion but said voters
“can agree to disagree” with a can
didate’s view on abortion.
“Our party is big enough to ac
cept different views on many dif
ferent issues,” Atwater said,
referring to the internal debate
over abortion as one of the
“growing pains” of trying to become
a majority party.
The RNC meeting has been the
scene of much soul-searching as
the GOP seeks a strategy to blunt
Democrats’ successful use of abor-
pro-choice
tion as an issue against Republi
cans in several major 1989
elections.
“In 1990 no candidate can run
for public office without squarely
facing the abortion issue,” Atwater
said in trying to rally GOP leaders
from across the country for the cru
cial elections this year that will de
termine who controls congressional
redistricting.
Democrats running in 1989 for
governor and lieutenant governor
of Virginia, governor of New Jersey
and mayor of New York ran and
won on pro-choice platforms
against GOP candidates who had
anti-abortion records but tried to
moderate their stance. Those ap
parent shifts brought attacks from
the Democrats, who Atwater said
“pulled a reverse twist on us" by
borrowing a key Atwater election
strategy.
“1 hey defined our candidates be
fore they defined themselves and
that’s almost always fatal," At
water said. “Just ask the fellow
from Massachusetts,” he said in a
reference to Bush’s win over Gov.
Michael S. Dukakis.
FBI nabs Mayor Barry
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON -Mayor
Marion Barry, standing erect and
saying little, appeared in court
Friday to answer a drug-posses
sion charge officials said was
based on an FBI sting in which
he was videotaped smoking crack
cocaine.
Barry declined to comment on
the case or his political future.
His lawyer said he would plead
innocent to the charge.
“Tm going to leave here and go
about the business of govern
ment,” said Barry, who has been
mayor in the nation’s capital for
the past 11 years.
He has been plagued in recent
years by accusations of drug use
as well as the corruption convic
tions of several top city officials.
He has repeatedly denied ever
using or buying drugs.
Barr>' also has indicated he
would seek a fourth term this No
vember, though opposing candi
dates have proliferated as his
troubles have mounted. A formal
Barry candidacy announcement,
scheduled for Sunday, was post
poned indefinitely.
If convicted, the mayor could
face penalties of up to one year in
jail and a $100,000 fine, said U.S.
Attorney Jay Stephens.
Barry was arrested Thursday
night at an FBI-rented hotel
room that was being watched
through a surveillance camera.
He gave “a quantity of currency”
to a cooperating witness in re
turn for the crack, according to
court papers filed by federal pros
ecutors.
“Mr. Barry put some of the
crack cocaine in a smoking appa
ratus, lit the crack cocaine and
smoked it,” FBI agent Ronald
Stern said in an affidavit.
Federal agents then entered the
hotel room and arrested the
mayor, who officials said later
tested positive for cocaine when
blood and urine tests were given
under a warrant. He was taken to
FBI headquarters and released
on his own recognizance.
