Bloodiest year ever for news reporters
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A record 1,264 attacks against journalists last year, including 61 killings, prove that a break in Cold War conflicts does not guarantee reporters' safety, a press organization said yesterday.
The Committee to Protect Journalists, in its annual report, stated 61 journalists in 18 countries were killed, and the others were missing and feared dead.
Committee officials defined journalists as people who report or write regularly for newspapers, magazines, broadcasts or other media outlets, but do not necessarily make a living from the work.
The numbers of killings and physical attacks on journalists in 100 countries both topped previous records of 1,164 attacks in 1989, the report stated.
The world has changed utterly from the Cold War conflicts where journalists were often caught in the vise, whether the consequences were met with a right-wing death squad in El Salvador, a land mine in Afghanistan, or a dank prison cell in Czechoslovakia said Anne Nelson, executive director of the group.
The report was released as the NationalPressClub celebrated "Freedom of Information Day" and awarded three journalists with 1992 Freedom of Press awards.
Receiving awards were:
- The Associated Press' Chief Mideast Correspondent Terry Anderson, who was held hostage by Lebanese terrorists for more than six years before being released in December.
Kamran Khan, an investigative reporter for a Pakistan newspaper who was seriously injured as a result of his reporting.
Traci Bauer of Southwest Missouri State University, who successfully fought to open campus security records after a college athlete was accused of assaulting a female student.
The committee report did not identify those killed by nationality, but stated Yugoslavia was the bloodiest killing field last year; the civil war claimed at least 19 reporters' lives, while two others are missing and presumed dead.

Transcript process faster
Registrar offers one-day service
By Jenny Martin

The University Registrar's Office soon will be producing transcripts fasterthanever.
Richard Morrell, University registrar, said that students often ordered several transcripts during a four- to five-month period near graduation. With the new computer-generated transcripts, the total amount of time students will spend waiting for their transcripts will be reduced significantly.
Morrell said that most universities had used computer-generated trans-
ties, the University of Kansas was one of three universities that did not use a computerized transcript system, he said.
Of the 58 universities that belong to the Association of American Universi-
The office began transferring course work onto a computer data base after the summer of 1990. Morrell said that the system had not been switched earlier because of a lack of money.
In a plan to update the system, the office began charging $2 a transcript four years ago, which enabled it to hire several computer programmers to develop the system.
"Before, it was free, but you got a lousy transcript, and the turn-around rate was awful," Morrell said. "Now we have an automated process that makes the transcripts look professional and well done, plus the turn-around time is excellent."
At the beginning of this semester, the cost of a transcript rose to $3 to cover the increased salaries of the programmers and to maintain the system. Morrell said that most universities charged $3 while some charged $4 to $5 per transcript.
"It's a very low percentage of students that complain about the price
because they are all really surprised to get them so fast," said Jewel Smith, registrar cashier. "It's worth the increased price if it means expedited service."
Morrall said that when students ordered their transcript, it was taken from the permanent record and transferred to the data base. This first transcript can take five to 10 days.
However, subsequent requests can be processed in one day.
Within four years, the transfer process will be complete, and all training will be completed.
"We are just as frustrated as the students with the transition," said John Rademacher, assistant University registrar. "Any time you are making a transition from old to new, it just takes extra time."
Some students agreed that the slight increase in price would be worth the faster service.
"That was the first one I've ever ordered, and I don't know what the process is, but it seems like an awfully long time just to get a transcript," said Mathew Staba, Tulsa, Okla., sophomore.
