ATLANTA (AP): Civil rights pioneer Abernathy dies. The
Rev. Ralph David Abernathy, the mar. who created the civil rights
movement with Martin Luther King Jr. but was shut out of it later
because of his account of King's personal life, died Tuesday at an
Atlanta hospital. He was 64. Abernathy's heart stopped during a lung
scan he was receiving at Crawford Long Hospital said hospital
spokesman Mendal Bouknight. He was rushed loan operating room,
out was dead when he got there, Bouknight said. He was pronounced
lead at 12:10 p.m. EDT. Abernathy spent his last days under bitter
ritiasm from his colleagues for passages in his 1989 autobiography,
And The Walls Came Tumbling Down,’ that said King spent time
w.th women and had a violent argument with one of them in the 24
r.ours before his assassination. Abernathy, bom March 11, 1926 in
Linden, Ala., was King's nght-hand man for 13 years, traveling and
.•haring jail cells with King and advising him on various issues.
YOUNG HARRIS (AP): Miller addresses lottery, crime.
Lt. Gov. Zeii Miller formally launched his campaign for governor
T jesday in the mountain college town where he grew up, plugging for
lottery and taking a swipe at a chief rival, Andrew Young. In a
-peech to a packed house in the Young Harris College Chapel, Miller
repeated his lorgstanding call for a state lottery, the trademark issue
campaign, and called for military-style boot camps for youthful
cnmmal offenders. Then he fired a shot at Young and the
'discouraging news" that in Youngs last two years as mayor, Atlanta
led a,l big U S. cities in serious crime ‘Here in this peaceful valley, it
s hard to comprehend the discouraging news we received last week
about crime in our capital city," Miller said. “I read and listened as
the discussion centered on the effect the crime rate would have on our
io:d to get the '96 Olympics, a ’92 political convention or the ’94 Super
Bowl. We should pause to remember that behind these appalling
statistics lie human beings," he said.
WASHINGTON (AP): Shortage of nurses anticipated.
There will be an adequate supply of physicians and most other health
professionals through the end of the century but the shortage of
nurses is expected to worsen, the government said Tuesday. The
number of registered nurses has grown from 750,000 in 1970 to more
than 1.6 million in 1988, according to a report sent to Congress by
Health and Human Services Secretary Louis Sullivan. However, even
though the number is expected to continue to increase over the next
15 years, it will not be enough to alleviate the shortages, the report
said. Public health experts say the nursing shortage has been caused
in part because of population growth and because hospital patients
tend to be sicker these days and need more intensive care.
MADISON, Wis. (AP): Gays stage kissing protest. Gay-
rights demonstrators kissed, and then made up with the owner of a
cafe where an employee had asked two women patrons to stop their
smooching. Donald Hanigan assured the protesters Monday they
would not be discriminated against at his Espresso Royale Cafe and
that he wanted their business. The controversy began April 8 when
an employee asked two women to refrain from holding hands and
kissing as they sat at a window table along State Street near the
University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. On Monday, about 125
protesters showed up and exchanged kisses for several minutes. An
apology was in order, Hanigan told the protesters. “I regret that this
incident ever happened,” he said. “I want all of you to come in here
every day.”

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP): Unsafe bus drivers.
Policemen with video cameras boarded a number of express buses
Tuesday and discovered to their horror that some drivers committed
an offense every five minutes. The chief police officer of the state of
Selangor, Nordin Idris, said that some drivers passed other vehicles
on bridges. Some of the more reckless drivers overtook six vehicles in
a row, he said. Nordin told reporters the buses were driven
“aggressively and violently” without regard for the safety of
passsengers or other motorists. He said police will prosecute the
offending drivers for dangerous driving. Nordin said passengers had
the right to remind drivers not to drive recklessly and to report them
to the Road Transport Department.

■ JUDICIAL REPORT
The Office of Judicial Pro
grams held three administrative
hearings last week, but decisions
haven’t been handed down to the
defendants as of Tuesday af
ternoon.
Two of the hearings concerned
disorderly conduct and the third
was for theft.
Judicial Programs received
three complaints last week and
12 hearings are scheduled for
this week.
The complaints received last
week were the following:
• One for property theft.
• Two for disorderly conduct —
one for public drunkenness, hin
dering a police officer and un
derage possession of alcohol; the
other was filed against a campus
organization.
The complaints to be heard
this week are:
• Six drag-related complaints.
• Two for disorderly conduct
involving two campus organiza
tions.
• Two for academic dishonesty.
• Two for contempt.
Students who have complaints
filed against them have two
choices —a hearing before the
main court of the Student Judi
ciary, or a hearing with an ad
ministrative officer from Judicial
Programs.
Judicial Programs
received three
complaints last week
and 12 hearings are
scheduled for this
week
The main court is composed of
three students who are members
of the judiciary. In order for a
student to be found guilty, two of
the three justices must vote to
find that student guilty.
Administrators hear cases
using the same procedures as the
main court.
Student Affairs Adviser Marjie
Furstein, who is training to be
come an administrative hearing
officer, said she has spent the last
seven months sitting in on all
cases before the main and organi
zation courts in preparation for
her role as a hearing officer.
A liaison from the Defender
Advocate Society and a Judicial
Council coordinator appointed by
Chief Justice Katie Mitchell also
sit in on main court cases.
