FORT BENNING (API: Gender no factor in combat.
Gender matters little in tne midst of a battle, says a female soldier
who gained national attention when her platoon saw combat during
the U S. invasion of Panama. “When everything was going on, I
wasn’t thinking male or female,” said Lt. Kimberly Thompson of the
988th Military Police Co. “A soldier’s a soldier.” Thompson’s
company, under the command of Capt. Linda Bray, was welcomed
home to Fort Benning Tuesday after a 120-day stint in Panama.
Thompson, a platoon leader, got caught up in combat during the
invasion. According to reports, her MP platoon exchanged fire with
Panama Defense Force snipers and was involved in capturing a
vehicle impoundment yard. Bray was involved in capturing a PDF
dog kennel after a firefight in which some PDF soldiers were killed,
according to reports.
TIFTON (AP): Peanut growers say nuts to fed advisors.
The Georgia Peanut Commission withdrew Wednesday from a
national group that is advising Congress on the 1990 Farm Bill,
charging that it sabotaged an important agreement and no longer
considers the needs of growers. Commission Chairman Wilbur
Gamble told board members at a special meeting that the National
Peanut Growers Group is dominated by hired consultants and
managers of area peanut associations rather than peanut producers.
‘We’re getting into a position where we’re almost totally ignored,”
Gamble said. “Right now we have no say. We don’t even have the
cooperation of our sister states.” The NPGG is a losely knit growers
group with no by-laws. As the state’s top cash crop, peanuts generate
about $500 million a year for Georgia farmers.

LOS ANGELES (AP): Singer Sarah Vaughan dies at 66.
Legendary jazz singer Sarah Vaughan, the “Divine One” renowned
for her unusual range and flowing style peppered with flavors of be
bop and scat, died of cancer eight days after her 66th birthday. Harold
Levy, her manager and friend, said she died late Tuesday of lung
cancer at her home in the Hidden Hills area of the west San Fernando
Valley. “Sarah Vaughan was among the most powerful, influential
and soulful voices of all time, a perfectionist with an astonishing vocal
range and a genius for conveying emotion through her music,” said
Quincy Jones, who first worked with Vaughan in 1957 as the
arranger on “Misty.” Some of her other memorable songs included
"Broken-Hearted Melody,” “Send in the Clowns,” and “If You Could
See Me Now .” Vaughan’s voice, over which she had phenomenal
control, had lovely tone and was true in pitch.
BOULDER, Colo. (AP): Crash may have been suicide.
Police said Wednesday that Sunday’s fiery crash of a small plane into
a Boulder neighborhood may have been a murder-suicide that
followed a struggle for control of the aircraft. Police spokesman David
Grimm said investigators are looking into the possibility that the
passenger aboard the chartered twin-engine plane, Gordon Larry
Hood, 45, may have attacked the pilot and then crashed the plane.
Grimm said two out-of-state acquaintances of Hood told investigators
that Hood was suicidal. Boulder police have asked the National
Transportation Safety Board to allow them back into the crash area
to determine whether there is a basis for the murder-suicide theory,
said Grimm.
WASHINGTON (AP): House passes environmental bill.
Legislation to reduce pollution in coastal waters was approved
Wednesday by the House Fisheries and Wildlife subcommittee. The
bill would establish clean-water standards for ocean water, would
require polluters to pay for cleanup and would police pollution from
such diverse sources as storm drains and farms. Called the “Coastal
Defense Initiative,” the bill would impose new penalties for
industries, farmers, government agencies and individuals that
pollute the ocean or coastal waterways. It would also involve
collecting $150 million per year in new fees from those who legally
discharge pollutants into the ocean.
BOISE, Idaho (AP): King holiday continues to spread.
Compromises have allowed Idaho and Wyoming to join the movement
toward national acceptance of a holiday honoring the Rev. Martin
Luther King Jr. and by Wednesday, 22 years after his death, only
three states were holdouts. “I think it shows that we are making
headway,” said Lloyd Davis, executive director of the King Federal
Holiday Commission. He expressed confidence that Arizona, New
Hampshire and Montana would not hold out much longer amid what
he sees as dramatic applications of King’s non-violent philosophy as
far away as the Philippines, China, Poland and East Germany.
“What’s happening around the world shows the universality of King,”
Davis said.

PARIS (AP): Carter and Arafat meet amidst protests.
PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat and former U.S. President Jimmy
Carter met Wednesday with President Francois Mitterrand of France
to discuss prospects for peace in the Middle East. Jewish leaders
objected to the meeting, which was to be followed by private talks
between Carter and Arafat. French Foreign Minister Roland Dumas
said the three-way talks could prove useful. France, he said, hopes to
“unblock the Middle East peace process.” Dozens of police vans lined
the Place de la Concorde and at least 200 riot police stood guard near
the hotel on the edge of the Place where the Palestinian leader was
staying. About 50 Jewish demonstrators clashed with a half-dozen
hecklers, injuring at least one. “We are against the visit of the
terrorist Arafat here,” said Edwin Sberro, a student and member of
the Betnr Tagar Zionist movement. “Carter shouldn’t talk with a
terrorist like Arafat.”

Police bicycle patrols stalled by lack of funds
By KELLY KEATINQ
Contributing Writer
University police are short about
I $1,000 to begin bicycle patrols they
have been planning since last Oc
tober, University Police Chief
Chuck Horton said.
The bicycle patrol program is
facing funding problems because it
was proposed after the 1990 fiscal
budget was finalized, Horton said.
“We’ve got officers that want to
participate,' he said, “but no allo
cations have been made yet."
Allan Barber, vice president for
Business and Finance, said Uni
versity departments must submit
budget plans to the University
Cabinet each April. The cabinet,
under the direction of University
President Charles Knapp, then
makes recommendations for an
nual department budgets.
University police received $65,-
000 for the operational budget this
year from the University, Barber
said, although Horton estimates
the department will spend close to
$150,000.
The department’s personnel
budget totals $1.5 million an
nually. The department receives no
allocations for equipment from the
University, Horton said.
The operational budget provides
for basic supplies and maintenance
of 11 patrol cars. The personnel
budget provides annual salaries
and uniforms for 55 officers,
Horton said.
‘We have to take whatever is
given to us and make do,” Horton
said of the $65,000 annual budget.
The needed $1,000 would pro
vide University police with two
mountain bicycles and special uni
forms, Horton said. The depart
ment has one mountain bicycle
which was found by officers and
never claimed.
“I really think it’s a good idea,”
Horton said of the bicycle patrol.
The bicycle patrol would be
equipped with weapons, radios and
flashlights, Horton said. The de
partment is devising a storage bag
to be attached to the bicycles.
Because of a high turnover rate,
Horton said he hopes to train 15 to
20 officers for the bicycle patrols.
He doubts, however, that he will be
able to provide uniforms for all offi
cers trained because of budget re
straints.
The bicycle officers will focus pa
trols at University housing, the sci
ence and main libraries, Aderhold
Hall, Lake Herrick, married
housing and the North Campus
Quad, Horton said. The patrols will
work primarily 3 to 11 p.m. and 11
p.m. to 7 a.m.
