Slattery supports capture of Noriega
He tells South Americans the drug problem is the United States' responsibility
By Rod Griffin
Kansan staff writer
Rep. Jim Slattery said Saturday at the Kansas Union that he supported the U.S. invasion of Panama.
"Noriega was a thug and a thief and a drug agent," he said. "I regret we were not able to take advantage of an earlier attempt by the Panamanian people to overthrow Noriaga."
Slattery visited briefly with members of Kansas-Paraguay Partners and was interviewed by Benjamin Fernandez-Bogado, a Paraguayan journalist.
Kansas-Paraguay Partners is a cultural exchange program that Kansas and Paraguay have been involved with since 1968.
Slattery discussed the overthrow of Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriegia and the drug problem during his 40-minute visit.
"Our Latin American friends have an obligation, and we have an obligation as we try to deal with this drug problem," he said.
Slatterry said the drug problem was the United States 'problem.
"I don't want us to try to blame this problem on South America," he said. "The U.S. must realize that we are providing the demand."
He told Fernandez-Bogado that more money must be devoted to education and rehabilitation programs to solve the drug problem.
Fernandez-Bogado was in Kansas filming a series of stories about the state for his television show "In Details."
"It's like a combination of the 'Larry King'
Live' show and '60 Minutes,' "' he said.
He interviewed Gov. Mike Hayden, former Gov. John Carlin, and Sen. Bob Dole, before interviewing Slattery.
But Fernandez-Bogado was at the University of Kansas to do more than interview dignitaries. He said he was going to speak with officials about arranging an exchange program with the University.
Paraguay was governed by a strict dictatorship until 1898 when a military coup insisted a democratic government. Fernandez-Bogado said the people there were still learning about democracy. He said he hoped to develop a journalism program with KU to teach people in Paraguay how to publish their own newspapers.
Fights plague greek show at Mississippi university
The Associated Press
HATTIESBURG, Miss. — An inter-collegiate talent competition sponsored by a University of Southern Mississippi fraternity and sorority erupted into fights Friday night, sending four people to a hospital and one to jail, school officials said.
At least four fights were reported on campus following the "Step" competition at Bennett Auditorium.
Omega Psi Phi fraternity and Delta Sigma Theta sorority, both black organizations, sponsored the annual talent competition Friday night that drew a crowd of 700 to 800 people.
"It got out of hand," said USM public relations director Burd Kirkpatrick. "The incident that precipitated everything inside the Step program was that a person stood up and proceeded to hit a judge."
The fighting also apparent involved a rivalry between two organizations from another college Kirkpatrick said. He said he did not know the names of the groups which colleges they represent.
Three men were taken to Forrester General Hospital for treatment lacerations and other minor injury and a fourth was admitted for treatment of cuts, a possible rupture eardrum and possible concussion.
"As best as we can determine the are not USM students," USM President Aubrey K. Lucas said.
