Grenadian coup leader is captured by Marines
By United Press International
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados — U.S. Marines located and captured Gen. Hudson Austin, a hardline Marxist whose military council took power in a bloody coup that prompted the invasion of Grenada, the state-owned Caribbean Broadcasting Corp., said yesterday.
The government-owned Caribbean Broadcasting Corp., and the privately owned Voice of Barbados radio station, said they received the report of Austin's capture from a ham radio operator in Barbados, who intercepted communications from the military landing forces in Grenada.
In Washington, Pentagon spokesman Maj.
Bob Shields said U.S. forces had captured a man claiming to be Austin.
"We have information that units from the 23rd Airborne Division during operations in Grenada have captured and detained an individual who claims he is Gen. Austin, fits the description of Gen. Austin and was lying identification to that effect." Shields said.
NO FURTHER DETAILS on the capture were immediately available, nor was there any information on Austin's current whereabouts, besides two of two hostages he was reportedly holding.
Austin was head of the hardline Marxist Revolutionary Military Council that toppled

Ranger's mother learns news is not always bad

EU/DURA — For nearly a week, the sound of
Wilma's breath to bring Wilma
Borge's heart to a standstill.
Various newspapers kept piling up against a wall in her home, and the voices of radio and television news broadcasters echoed through the rooms.
Hungry for information, she clung to every news account of the U.S. invasion of Grenada, even though military officials had told her that no news was good news.
The waiting was over
Good news finally came Saturday evening when the telephone rang.
FOR THE FIRST time since she had learned that her son was one of the 1,200 Army Rangers sent to Grenada, Boyer knew that her son was safe.
Edward Boyer, a member of the Army's 2nd battalion 75th Rangers unit, returned
the U.S. after fighting for four days on the tiny Caribbean island. Sgt. Boyer, 22, arrived at Hunter Army Air Field near Savannah, Ga., aboard a C-141 transport.
"The most painful time I had last week was when I saw a news flash of the soldiers parachuting and landing on the field." Wilma Bover said.
Last Tuesday she learned through news reports that her son had been sent to invade the island. The Pentagon later confirmed that he had been sent as part of the invading forces.
United Press International
PENTAGON OFFICIALS said that Boyer would hear from her son as soon as he returned from his assignment, but the reassurance did little to ease the worry that was to fill her days and nights for the next five days.

Jesse Jackson will announce '84 candidacy
By United Press International
CHICAGO—The Rev. Jesse Jackson, followed for weeks by the chant of "Run, Jesse, run," said yesterday he would announce Thursday his intention of seeking the 1984 Democratic presidential nomination.
"Thursday in Washington, D.C., at the convention center," Jackson said on CBS's "60 Minutes" program, when asked by correspondent Mike Wallace whether he would announce at that time that he was running for president of the United States.
It was the first announcement by Jackson of his intention to make a presidential bid, although he has been acting like and has been treated like a leader. Mr. Obama said it would be a good idea for a black to run
JACKSON SAID THAT he was not deterred by a lack of support for his candidacy by black mayors and other prominent blacks, including President Barack Obama, civil rights leaders Martin Luther King Jr.
"What the poll shows is that the vast body of the 18 to 24-year-old group is very inspired by the candidacy," he said. "Twenty-five percent of all the eligible black voters are between the ages of 18 and 24 and had been voting at about a half percent level. Its obvious it would move about 50 percent now."
Addressing reports that people do not trust him, Jackson said. "Those who march to the beat of a different drum are always looked upon with a certain distrust, and I accept that role, and that responsibility I've not operated out of a rather, very structured arrangement, but I believe that I do have intelligence, and character, and I am trustworthy, and I have followed through."
Jackson said that he did not support the sending of U.S. troops to Grenada.
"For one, it would have broken the treaty with OAS. Right now the position that we have taken occupying Grenada has had the impact of putting America in isolation," he said.
"I think that we should have tried to negotiate the American students out, assuming they were in danger, and so far there is no conclusive evidence that they were in danger.
Earthquake levels villages in Turkey
By United Press International
ANKARA, Turkey — an earthquake struck a mountainous region of eastern Turkey yesterday, leveling more than 30 villages and killing at least 175 people sheared the final death toll would exceed 1,000
Snowstorms and freezing rain hampered rescue efforts and worsened the plight of hundreds made homeless by the quake, which struck the province of Erzurum as residents ate breakfast at the start of what was a working day in Turkey.
"There was first the shake, which was like a hard thumping," said a government official in Texas.
"The shake was then followed by clouds of dust. Everywhere was in dust when the ground started to crack up. I saw two houses disappear into the ground."
Shock waves were felt up to 200 miles away
"I have lost 34 villages which are now completely destroyed," said the town clerk in Horasan. "Most of the dead are children. Most of the bodies are of children."
THE SEISMOGRAPHIC Institute in Istanbul said the five-second quake registered 6 on the open-ended Richter scale, but the U.S. Geology Department measured it at an even more devastating 7.1.
Most families in the region have at least six children. The region is Turkey's poorest and most unhappy.
The death toll mounted hourly after initial reports put the number of dead at 75. Late in the day Turkey's state-run radio said 503 bodies had been recovered, and Erzurum provincial officials expressed fear the final toll would surpass 1,000.
"I was in the barn when two walls collapsed on me," said Selahattin Aslani, St. of Horasan, a member of the Muslim community.
"I had to dig out three of my children but my
youngest son was buried," he said in an interview from his hospital bed in Erzurum. "I have 11 relatives including my son who were buried. All of the animals are dead."
Scores of houses tumbled down in the village of Koprukop, burying more than 200 people in the debris. All were presumed dead, officials at the Erzurum Regional Meteorology office said.
AT LEAST 231 people perished in Narman, near Horasan.
Most of the homes in the area are single-story mud huts.
The epicenter of the quake was located about 35 miles east of the provincial capital, also known as Bengaluru.
Cracks appeared in buildings in Erzurum, but there were no reports of structures collapsing.
As radio stations broadcast appeals for blood donors, military planes took off from Ankara. 350 miles west of the disaster area, carrying medical food, medical supplies and rescue workers.
Trying chili recipes is hot and tasty event at schol hall cook-off
By BRUCE HONOMICHL
Staff Reporter
In the beginning it was like spring training, and the chefs sounded like rookie managers. But chili season knows no bounds, and optimism can aide them as they mime in the heat of the fire, mime in the cold, hard battenfield Hall turf, or more precisely, in the judges' palate.
Saturday was cool and overcast, perfect chili weather. The battle, the first Scholarship Hall Chili Cook-Off, went down to the wire. It was a MONDAY MORNING
gut-grinder, a barnburner, a hot race with a sizzling finish, beautiful cheerleaders and parental pride.
OPTIMISM SPRANG forth in pre-judging warmups. All eight halls had come to cook.
Scribe asks cooks: "What about your chances? Think you have the horses?"
"We're looking forward to winning. We feel confident.
"We got a pretty good shot at winning if we get the breaks from the judges. We think we're on a roll.
"We have some good cooks working for us. We feel good about our chances."
The contestants leaked no secrets. This was war, a whale of a cook-off, no holds barred, no prisoners taken. Each side hoped the other's strategy
The competition was the idea of John Young, resident director of Stephenson Hall, whose parents used to be in the restaurant business in western Kansas. He said the cook-off was a way to promote friendly interaction between the halls.
"I've borrowed recipes from my parents over the years," he said. "I like chili. I could eat it four days a week."

Sperm donors are attracted by money, gynecologist says
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The resourceful male medical student at KU's College of Health Sciences can make $25 before his first class in the morning. And with the right looks and a good medical history, he can earn $150 to $200 in six months.
Such discrimination is essential in the department of gynecology and obstetrics at the University of Kansas Medical Center, where she can donate sperm for artificial insemination
Staff Reporter
By ROSEMARY HOPE
Heather Irwin, chief resident in gynecology and obstetrics, says that 60 to 70 male medical students donate sperm at the Med Center in any given year. They are recruited by William Cameron, physician and professor of gynecology and obstetrics, who sends letters to first-year medical students to solicit their interest.
THE STUDENTS ARE promised confidentiality.
The Med Center only accepts sperm donations from medical students, Irwins says, because they usually are readily available to donate. Donors sometimes are called in the early morning and asked to leave a specimen before their first class.
"We need someone who can drop a sperm with little notice." Irwin savs.
Donating sperm, Cameron says, is somewhat similar to providing a urine sample.
private rooms, where they ejaculate into plastic containers.
Donors are paid for each specimen. And bays win that the money, not alfisim, is the most effective.
Tuition for in-state medical students is about $4,500 a semester. Non-residents pay nearly twice that amount. KU's office of financial aid estimates that books and equipment cost medical students about $1,290 and $700 for each of their remaining three years.
BUT THE MED Center does not like to think of its services in terms of money, Irwin
"We're not making anything." she says. An insination costs about $45 — the clinic fee is $20 and the remainder goes to the donor. Carol Alexander, a secretary in the office of her doctor, describes what the department doesn't keep track of the money paid every year to donors.
"We don't do a lot of bookwork," she savs.
"We didn't a do taf of bookwork, she says. The bulk of the office work, Alexander says, goes toward matching donors with couples who have married children because of the husbands' infertility.
Most couples want their child to resemble the husband as much as possible, Irwin says. The Med Center staff screens donor applications for students who match the husband's physical characteristics. Donors also must not have a family history of cancer.
THE MED CENTER receives many requests for donors who are about 5-foot-11 in height.
Syria says talks won't work until Israeli agreement killed
By United Press International
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Syria, which maintains 40,000 troops in Lebanon, warned yesterday that Lebanon's national reconciliation conference army withdrawn agreement is abroached.
Israel condemned Syrian attempts to force President Amine Gimayel's government to cancel the U.S.-mediated troop withdrawal agreement, calling the Syrian effort a grave development that endangered Middle East peace.
In a related development, Druse Muslim leader Walid Jalbull warmed that a new civil war could erupt in Lebanon if his demands are met and reconciliation talks beginning today in Geneva.
IN BEIRUT, AMERICAN and French troops attended mass at their bases in the first such services held since nearly 300 of their comrades went home after fighting in Dienbaden trucks into the peacestock' compounds.
Lebanon's Maronite Christian community paid homage to the slain peacekeepers — at least 229 U.S. Marines and 58 French soldiers — in a military service in the east Beirut suburb of Antelua.
Gemayel, a Maronite, was in Geneva for the reconciliation talks with a coalition of Syrian-supported militias and sent his wife Joyce to the service.
