WORLD
Government will stop 9-day student protest
BEIJING — The government moved Tuesday to halt a 9-day-old student protest for democracy and a free press, urging them to go back to class and disband their fledgling unions and warning workers to stay on the job.
In a harsh editorial, read on the televised nightly news, the Communist Party called for a swift end to the student movement, the biggest since the revolution of 1949.
NATION
Coast Guard warned captain to remain still
VALDEZ, Alaska — Radio messages recorded on the morning the Exxon Valdez hit a reef revealed the ship's captain spent an hour trying to rock the tanker free, which could have sunk the ship and spilled more oil, the Coast Guard said Tuesday.
The captain ignored Coast Guard warnings that attempts to move the ship could have made the nation’s worst oil spill almost five times as bad, the recordings show.
STATE
Court grants new trial to convicted FBI agent
SAN FRANCISCO — The only FBI agent ever convicted of spying was granted a new trial Tuesday by a federal appeals court, which said the jury should not have been told about his lie detector tests.
The court overturned the espionage convictions of Richard Miller, a 20-year FBI veteran charged with furnishing a classified document to the Soviet Union in return for a promise of $65,000 in cash and gold.

Library plans to disregard overdue fines
By Chris Eftychiou
Staff Writer
As an incentive for students and professors to return about 16,000 overdue books, university libraries will provide an amnesty book return program from today to June 30.
The program lets students and professors return all overdue books without paying fines, said university librarian Charles Ritcheson.
University officials are discussing new book-lending policies to be implemented on July 1, and they are hoping that the amnesty program will allow for a restocking of the shelves before the new rules go into effect, Ritcheson said.
Library officials would not give details about the new lending policy because it is still in the planning stages, he said.
"We have a new lending code under discussion with Student Senate and Faculty Senate," he said. "But there will be measures (in the policy) which make it more attractive to return books."
Ritcheson said the new policy could bar students who owe money to the library from graduating or registering for classes. Currendy, students are not prevented from graduating if they have overdue books, he said.
Joyce Toscan, assistant university librarian, said stiffer regulations are likely.
"We're moving in that direction," Toscan said.
She also indicated the revamping of book return policies would make the process more convenient for students and faculty who use the libraries.

Man sues, wins $12,500 from Tommy’s
Anti-USC bias shown when private guards assault 3 at restaurant
By Tracy Imes
Staff Writer
A $12,500 settlement has been awarded to a man who sued Tommy's restaurant and its private security company after the restaurant's guards, who mistook him for a university student, assaulted him and claimed, "You USC kids think you can do anything."
The incident occurred last October when Irving Alden, a salesman living in Marina del Rey, was with two friends at the Tommy's franchise located at Beverly
and Rampart boulevards, about 4 a.m.
The trio was in a car across the street from the establishment when four security guards "came running across the street, and one yelled, 'Get out of the car with your hands up and put the keys on the roof!' " said Josh Kollodney, a senior majoring in architecture.
"I asked him what was going on and he told me to shut the f— up and continued saying that to every question I asked," Kollodney said.
When Alden questioned the guard, "the guy came up behind him and slammed him into the car and handcuffed his hands behind his back and took him into the back room of Tommy's," he said.
Kollodney said at that point he moved his car to an area where the guards had
no jurisdiction and called the police.
"The police came and couldn't figure out what was going on, and the security manager said, 'You USC kids think you can do anything,' " he said.
"There was no way they could have known we were 'SC students. I'm the only one who goes there and we had no markings on our clothes or the car," Kollodney said.
The police tried to sort out the incident, he said, but the security manager and the guards wanted to charge the three with trespassing and insisted that they go down to the police station.
"They said, 'We're not letting these 'SC punks get away with anything,' " Kollodney said.

By Rebecca Shea
Staff Writer
A university student won the Captain Roy C. Smith HI essay contest at this year's Naval Academy foreign affairs conference, held last week in Annapolis, Md.
Shawn McCormick, a senior majoring in international relations and broadcast journalism, was chosen to represent the university at the conference because of his academic excellence, said Gerald Bender, director of international relations.
"Shawn impressed many members of the faculty," Bender said. "He has a very high GPA and is one of the top students in the honors program. He was a natural.
"I normally select a graduate student as my research assistant," said Bender, who picked McCormick as his research assistant last year. "Choosing Shawn was the first time I selected an undergraduate, and I have never regretted it."
McCormick is deserving of the award because of his excellent analysis
and understanding of international affairs, Bender said.
"Shawn is an exceptionally mature analyst of international affairs, which he vividly displayed in his paper," he said. "It is a testimony to tie high faith that the international relations faculty has put in him."
Students from around the world and from schools such as Brown, Stanford, Yale and Princeton attende i the conference. Each student was required to submit an essay.
