Memorial service held for jewelry store robbery victim
A memorial service will be held tonight at the Green Acres Baptist
Church on Barnett Shoals road at 7:30, to recognize the 55th birthday
of Iraj Rouhani, who was killed at his downtown jewelry store on May
4. Nasrin Rouhani, the victim’s wife, said, “Even though he is not here
to receive the gift I bought for him, a new suit, I still wanted to make
his birthday special for him." Mrs. Rouhani said her husband died pre
maturely, but, as a member of the Baha’i Faith, she believes he has
passed into another life. For this reason, she said there is no reason to
wear black clothing to the memorial. “When someone dies there is a
host of souls to receive the new soul and help him in the new world he
passes to," she said. “We believe in the next world and eternal life." She
said speakers will include three citizens who helped in the suspect’s ar
rest, Jane Failly, a long-time family friend and Baha’i member and
Clanton Black, one of her husband’s former professors from the
University’s biochemistry department. Rouhani said everyone is wel
come to attend the memorial. - Danielle Dc Lucia

Statesboro (AP): Wreck claims life of two football players
Georgia Southern defensive back Dean Lott and Avery J. Frazier III, a
student at Abraham-Baidwin Agricultural College, were killed when
their car ran off a Bulloch County road Sunday. Casey Bradley, backup
quarterback on Georgia Southern’s junior varsity team last year, was
in critical condition in intensive care at Memorial Medical Center in
Savannah Sunday night, officials said. All three were 20. “It’s very,
very tough right now,” said Georgia Southern football coach Tim
Stowers. “Any time you lose someone within the team, it’s a hard ques
tion to answer why.” The trio’s car struck a ditch at high speed, over
turned several times and threw all three from the vehicle, said Barry
Riggs of the Georgia State Patrol. Lott was a high school quarterback
and team captain as a senior at Tift County. He was projected as a
backup safety this fall. Bradley, a sophomore from Monroe, is fourth in
the Eagles’ depth chart.

Orlando (AP): Studies show Retin-A may prevent cancer
Two studies released Monday suggest that the prescription wrinkle
cream Retin-A may have an entirely different use — preventing cancer.
Doctors found that the ointment appears to return precancerous condi
tions of the skin and cervix to normal, presumably eliminating the risk
of developing malignancy. In one study, government-financed re
searchers found that Retin-A reversed cervical dysplasia, an extremely
common condition that occasionally leads to cervical cancer. In the oth
er. funded by the makers of Retin-A, scientists found that the ointment
can fade and even erase moles called dysplastic nevi. These moles
sometimes grow into melanoma, a lethal form of skin cancer. “We saw
significant improvement in these funny-looking lesions," said Dr. Lynn
Schuchter of the University of Pennsylvania, who conducted the mole
study. ‘The idea is that if these lesions go away, the risk of melanoma
is diminished.” The studies are among tne latest efforts in a new cancer
field called chemoprevention. The goal is to rn^ake a preemptive strike,
catching abnormal tissue before it becomes cancer.
Washington (AP): Blacks and Hispanics beat Russians
American macks and Hispanics rank just anead of Russians in the lat
est U.N. quality-of-life index, far behind No. 1 ranked American whites.
The annual index — a measure of life expectancy, education and pur
chasing power — ranks people living in 173 countries. A report to be
published this month with the index also analyzes disparity among eth
nic or racial groups, between men and women and among people from
different regions within some of the countries. Japan, as in past years,
is the leading country in the 1993 U.N. Human Development Index, but
it drops to No. 17 if treatment of women is included as a factor. “While
there are reports on production, currency movements and other eco
nomic factors, this is a report on the state of the world’s people, on how
people’s lives are affected," said project director Mahbub ul Haa in an
interview. Following Japan, in the overall index, are Canada. Norway,
Switzerland and Sweden. The United States ranks sixth, although U.S.
whites top the list if considered separately. Ranked at the bottom in
the report, compiled only since 1990 by the U.N. Human Development
Program, are Niger. Burkina Faso, Afghanistan, Sierre Leone and, in
last place, Guinea.

Bracewell, director of judicial pro

could be released in light of the re

Roberts also said she never is
sued a policy to halt the release of
the synopses and said they will
continue to be released for future
decisions.
“Because the decision was re
leased Friday, I’m sure we were
going to write and tell you the de
cision was available," Roberts
said.
Bracewell said he had some
questions about how the synopsis
should be drafted and released
and waited for the clarifications
from legal affairs which were an

The fraternity has said it will
