ATLANTA (AP): Woman aquitted of obstruction. A
woman charged with disorderly conduct as she fought to tell police
her husband was in their burning home was found innocent of
intentionally obstructing officers. Pearl Rainey, 38, was acquitted
Monday after a police officer testified that the woman tried to rescue
her husband of 18 years, Carl, who died in the blaze. “I don’t question
there was some obstruction of the officer, but Mrs. Rainey is a woman
who was apparently distraught with good reason and she was not
trying to willfully interfere with the officers,” said Atlanta Municipal
Court Judge Andrew Mickle. Rainey was jailed overnight March 10
after being taken from the scene of the house fire. She learned of her
husband’s death the next morning when her sister bailed her out of
jail.
ALBANY (AP): Former GBI agent holds up local bank.
Albany police arrested a former Georgia Bureau of Investigation
narcotics agent Tuesday moments after he allegedly robbed a Trust
Co. bank in Albany. GBI spokesman John Bankhead said John
Arnold, 30, of Montezuma, worked for the GBI from 1982 until he
resigned in June 1986. He also is accused of robbing a First
Community Bank branch inside a Piggly Wiggly store on Monday
after which he eluded police in a high-speed chase. Witnesses said he
carried a police radio scanner in the Monday robbery. Police said
Arnold is a suspect in the robbery of a bank in Atlanta last week.
MARIETTA (AP): Lockheed plans to lay off 500. The
Lockheed Corp., says it will lay off 500 white-collar employees by the
end of June from its shrinking plant in Marietta as a cost-cutting
move. The layoffs will include staff in engineering, finance and
information systems, said Richard Martin, spokesman for Lockheed
Aeronautical Systems Co. — Georgia. By 1991, Lockheed projects
employment at Marietta of 9,000, down from 20,357 in December
1987. Martin said managers have been asked to look for cuts to make
the company more competitive. Specific employees have not yet been
targeted, he said.“Anytime you let people go, it hurts,” Martin said.

GADSDEN, Ala. (AP): Control tower investigated.
Investigators will consider whether the lack of a control tower at
Gadsden’s airport contributed to the collision of two planes in flight
Monday, the airport’s second such accident since November, an
official said Tuesday. Two people died in the in the collision Monday.
“When you have two airplanes meet in mid-air, then certainly you
look at control,” said Jay Golden, a spokesman for the National
Transportation Safety Board in Atlanta. An Atlanta-bound commuter
plane carrying seven people safely landed shortly after takeoff at
Gadsden Municipal Airport Monday afternoon after it collided with a
Civil Air Patrol aircraft, killing the small plane’s two pilots. The
Atlantic Southeast Airlines pilot managed to guide his Brazilian-
made Embraer turbo-prop about 2Vi miles back to the airport and
land safely, even though his plane’s right rear stabilizer was sheared
off.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP): Discovery not launched.
NASA scrubbed the launch of Discovery with the $1.5 billion Hubble
Space Telescope today when a problem developed four minutes before
liftoff in a unit that supplies power to the shuttle’s wing and tail
surfaces. The launch will be attempted again in one to two weeks,
said launch director Bob Sieck. Sieck said a preliminary review
indicated a valve on the Auxiliary Power Unit did not respond
properly, allowing too much fuel to go through the power system.
Engineers were working to determine the extent of the problem even
before the five astronauts emerged from the cockpit where they had
lain on their backs for more than three hours.

WARSAW, Poland (AP): Walesa running for president.
Solidarity leader Lech Walesa was quoted today as saying he will run
for president of Poland in the next elections, trying to succeed the
man who once imprisoned him and outlawed his union. The state-
owned PAP news agency quoted Walesa as saying “I confirm” when
asked if he would run for president in the next elections. “We have
many wise and valuable people in government, holding various posts.
However, one must speed up the pace of reforms and destroy the old
arrangements,” Walesa said. Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski, elected
president by parliament in July, officially is to serve a six-year term
until 1995. However, there is widespread belief in Poland that the
next presidential elections will be moved up as part of an overhaul of
the Polish constitution.
PARIS (AP): France to improve relations with Libya.
The government declared Tuesday that its often bitter relations with
Libya will improve as a result of the release from captivity of a French
woman, her daughter, and the girl’s father. The three were freed
Tuesday by the Libyan-backed Palestinian guerrilla group led by Abu
Nidal. Previous releases of French hostages prompted complaints
from critics that France barters with terrorists. France has denied
such charges. Foreign Minister Roland Dumas praised Gadhafi’s
“noble and humanitarian gesture" in pressuring Abu Nidal’s group to
free the three. In return for the releases, Dumas indicated in a
statement that Tripoli could expect to benefit from improved ties with
France.

SA rules not clear
■ JUDICIAL REPORT
By LYNN BARFIELD
Contributing Writer
Although the Student Associa
tion’s constitutional bylaws have
guidelines regarding elections,
there are no clear-cut rules for
campaigning.
The only campaign restrictions
are those created by SA President
Pro Tern Andrea Naterman, who
oversees elections, and SA Adviser
Tom Cochran.
In addition to the bylaws,
Cochran and Naterman set up
rules regarding slanderous
material, campaign budget limits,
posting of campaign material and
poster size limits for adver
tising. The rules were presented at
a candidates meeting April 2,
Cochran said
Election bylaws, established in
the first SA election in 1987, state
a candidate must be a full-time
student, have a 2.5 grade point av
erage for officers and 2.25 for sen
ators and have a petition endorsed
by fellow students.
Junior Sen. Ian Henyon and ju
nior Misty Lathem were penalized
for campaign rule violations when
election material was posted before
the April 3 campaign kick-off date
set bv Naterman and Cochran.
This date was announced at a can
didate’s meeting April 2.
The Elections Committee cut
Henyon and Lathem’s campaign
budget by $100, 25 percent of the
allowed budget, because four flyers
were posted in the Alpha Gamma
Delta House on April 2.

The Office of Judicial Programs has its work cut out this
month due to the number of conduct complaints received since
March 13. Complaints are as follows:
• Nine for disorderly conduct — three for fighting, two for
arson, one for obstructing a police officer, one for public drunk
enness and obstructing a police officer, and one for haras
sment.
• Seven for academic dishonesty.
• Six drug-related complaints.
• Five for theft.
• Five contempt citations.
• Four for driving under the influence.
• One for misrepresentation of records.
Roger Lee, a student affairs counselor in Judicial Programs,
said a contempt citation means a student hasn't complied with
his sentence. An example of misrepresentation of records would
be falsifying grade rolls to indicate perfect attendance.
