Legacy of Chernobyl: Cancer, mutant animals
MOSCOW (AP) — Three years after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, some cancer rates have doubled among middle-aged residents of a contaminated farm region and calves are being bom without heads and limbs, a newspaper said Wednesday.
The paper said authorities drastically underestimated the health problems caused by the reactor explosion and fire April 26, 1986, which sent a cloud of radiation around the world.

Cremated mother-in-law stolen along with truck
SACRAMENTO (AP) — A thief who stole Juanita Sampson’s truck made off with something he probably didn’t expect to get — her mother-in-law.
The cremated remains of Rena Sampson were in the truck when it was stolen from a restaurant parking lot in a Northern Sacramento surburb, sheriff’s deputies said.
The remains were in a small black plastic container, Sampson said.

Apple co-founder to speak
Jobs’ talk will promote use of Next computers with university, students
By Tracy Imes
Staff Writer
Steven Jobs, president of Next Inc. and co-founder of Apple Computers Inc., will speak Wednesday about computer technology's place in higher education for the 1990s.
Jobs' visit follows the monthlong testing of several Next computers throughout campus. His two-hour lecture in Bovard Auditorium will begin at 2:30 p.m.
Jobs, 33, left Apple in 1985 to found Next Inc., after often bitter disagreements with co-workers.
Since December, the university hi., purchased 20 Next computers, said Richard Kaplan, vice provost of academic computing.
The cost, almost $100,000, was paid by academic computing, he said.
Peter Lyman, director of the university's center for scholarly technology administration, serves as a member on Next's advisory board.
The board, whose members include representatives from Princeton, Stanford and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, helped design the computer, which is targeted for academic use.
"These are schools they thought were on the leading edge of computer technology and were willing to take risks," Lyman said.
Lyman and professors from several schools, including dnema-television, engineering, music and architecture, are experimenting with software design and development for the system.
"First we talked about what we wanted computers to do. Students need to be able to build their own software. They can't just (See Computers, page 3)
USC aids study on child care
By Chris Eftychiou

Social programs for the state's children must meet increasingly diverse needs caused by changes in ethnic demographics, family structure and income distribution, according to a report issued Monday by a group of USC, Stanford and UC Berkeley education experts.
The tri-university group, Policy Analysis for California Education, has assessed the state's educational system in the past, but the latest and largest report focuses on the needs of children.
The report, "Conditions of Children in California," paints a formidable picture of the future of state education, indicating that by the year 2000 the number of children will increase nearly 20 percent, to 8.7 million.
The report predicts that nearly 60 percent will be from ethnic minority groups. Latinos will comprise the largest minority group with 36 percent, while 42 percent will be white.
Figures like these will pose problems in determining budgets and formats for education, said Allan Odden, director of USC's PACE center.
"The report says we don't just want to pour money into the overall systems we have. They have to be reorganized," Odden said. "At the same time, there are programs that do work."
Early childhood education (Head Start) and prenatal care for pregnant teen-agers are examples of successful programs, he said.

Parking officials brace for annual auto onslaught
Grammys to draw fans, Shrining stars
By Marta Garman
Staff Writer
Hundreds of starry-eyed fans are expected to line Jefferson Boulevard on Wednesday to gaze at celebrities attending the 31st Annual Grammy Awards at the Shrine Auditorium.
In addition to traffic congestion, a lack of campus parking may pose an inconvenience for commuters during the three-hour ceremony, parking officials warned Thursday.
From 200 to 400 spaces in Parking Structure D have been set aside for the ceremony's production crew, said Roy Heidicker, assistant director of Parking Operations.
The structure's exit near Bruce Hall will be available for people leaving campus during the event, he said.
"Parking will be tight," Heidicker said.
He encouraged commuters to use the Menlo lots and suggested that campus residents contact University Security if they cannot find parking in their assigned structure.
Lots on Jefferson, Vermont Avenue and Figueroa Street will also provide parking, said Bill Gamer, supervisor of Charter Auto Parks, the company in charge of valet parking for the event.
"Limos will park somewhere away from the auditorium, and stars in the show will park in the back lot of the Shrine," he said.
Though Garner said stargazing bleachers would be set up on Royal Street across from the auditorium, Heidicker said plans for spectator seat-
ing had not been confirmed.
Officers from the Los Angeles Police Department will help prevent spectators from blocking Entrance 4 on Jefferson, Heidicker said.
Fans hoping to spot their favorite celebrities will be allowed to watch from the top of Parking Structure D as long as they do not interfere with traffic, Heidicker said.
Shelly Giurlani, an undeclared freshman, expects to be one of those congregating at the parking structure, which she says is a superior vantage point.
"At the American Music Awards you couldn't see anything across the street, so we went to structure D," she said. "The bleachers sound better. Maybe we'll try there."
