Organization carols residence halls. Members of the Black
Greek Council will sing Christmas Carols tonight outside University
residence halls including Brumby, Russell, Creswell, Rutherford and
Mell. The caroling will begin at 6:30 p.m. at Brumby Hall. Brian
Hooks, a senior landscape architecture major and head of the council,
said students really enjoyed listening to the Christmas carols last
year and it served as a study break. “It was something to show
Christmas cheer and unity,” he said.

LAWRENCEVILLE (AP): Gunman shoots motorists. A
man wearing fatigues sipped beer and fired at rush hour motorists in
Gwinnett County Monday, injuring four People including a teen-ager
who was in “extremely critical” condition. The alleged gunman,
identified as 45-year-old used car salesman Charles Douglas Walker,
was arrested at the scene, police said. Walker was charged with
aggravated assault. According to witnesses, the man pulled up to a
stop sign at the intersection of Georgia 20 and Hillside Drive, got out
of his car and started firing at passing motorists. “I saw the guy
standing in the middle of the road with two rifles in his hands,” said
William Smith of Monroe, who was driving toward Lawrenceville at
the time. “We pulled over and asked him if he needed any help.... He
pointed the guns at us and said if we didn’t get the hell out (of) there,
he’d blow our brains out,” said Monroe. Police found a 12-pack of beer,
numerous rifles and pistols and hunting gear inside Walker’s car. The
names of the victims were not immediately available. Two were
injured by bullet-shattered glass and one was shot in the foot. The 14-
year-old boy was slapped across the face with the barrel of a gun and
shot at point blank range, witnesses told police.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP): Investigation continues.
Authorities investigating the slayings of five college students have
not charged a suspect three months later, despite one of the most
intense murder probes in Florida history. But while some outside law
enforcement officials don’t hold out much hope, investigators remain
optimistic thev will ultimately track down the killer. Authorities have
spent $2.5 million to send 75 investigators out to follow some 5,500
leads since the killings in late August. Last month, Edward
Humphrey, earlier identified as a suspect in the case, was sentenced
to 22 months in a prison mental institution for beating his
grandmother. The 19-year-old student was never charged in the
slayings.Meanwhile, university officials worry that students have
grown complacent. Campus police spokesman Angie Tipton said
students have since dropped their guard, walking alone at night,
leaving doors and windows unlocked. “It’s like nothing ever
happened,” Ms. Tipton said. "We try to remind them that the victims
were just like they are: vulnerable nnd trusting.”

LONDON (AP): Heseltine looks strong for election.
Michael Heseltine, who precipitated Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher’s downfall, said Sunday he was confident of getting the
necessary votes to win the leadership of his party and country this
week. But he admitted that some Conservative Party loyalists are
deeply angry at him for his role in forcing out Mrs. Thatcher, who last
week agreed to step down as prime minister. Heseltine, 57, and
treasury chief John Major, 47, a right-winger who is reportedly
supported by Mrs. Thatcher, appeared to be locked in a close contest
in the race to succeed Mrs. Thatcher, with Foreign Secretary Douglas
Hurd trailing. Mrs. Thatcher, prime minister for 1 IVa years,
withdrew Thursday after she failed to get a big enough majority to
stop Heseltine’s challenge. With her husband, Denis, she spent the
weekend for the last time at the prime minister’s country residence
outside London.

Stolen calendar leaves
Rockfish up in the air
J.R. Greene, owner of The
Rockfish Palace night club, has
no idea who is booked to play his
club in the upcoming weeks.
Greene isn’t the victim of a
weekend hangover, but of theft,
he said.
Saturday night someone took
Greene’s booking calendar from
the counter of the back bar of the
Rockfish. he said.
The black calendar contained
not only a schedule of bands, but
more than 200 telephone num
bers, including those of bands,
agents and personal numbers.
“It’s the whole soul of this
club,” Greene said. “I can’t run it
without it."
“I usually book about thve^or
four weeks in advance, but I havf.
some bands booked in JaijjAy'
and February and nowjIMqpr
know who and when ifre
going to play,” he said..
Greene said he didn’t nle a re-
port with police because he TlMn't
think they would do much to re
cover a calendar worth $1.50.
“What can they do? Take finger-
prints?” he said.
Greene said anyone with infor
mation about the calendar will
receive a reward. It can be re
turned by placing it in the
mailbox at the Rockfish Palace.
