Government of East Germany chooses new prime minister
EAST BERLIN — East Germany’s Parliament chose Lothar de Maiziere as prime minister Thursday and embraced his sweeping agenda for quickly uniting the foundering nation with West Germany.
The nation’s first freely elected legislature also apologized to Jews for Nazi atrocities and promised to make reparations to Israel and seek diplomatic ties.
By putting de Maiziere’s broad coalition government in power, the Parliament set up a transitional government whose prime goal will be to negotiate the terms of creating a single Germany.
Nation: James Brown transferred from prison
COLUMBIA, S.C. — With two inmates carrying his suitcases, “Godfather of Soul" James Brown started a brand-new bag Thursday. He was transferred from prison to a work-release center to counsel youths about drug abuse.
The two-time Grammy award winner was released after serving 15 months of a six-year prison sentence for aggravated assault.
He will be locked up nights and weekends at the minimum security Lower Savannah Work Center 60 miles from Aiken, where he will help educate young people about the dangers of illegal drugs and alcohol.
Local: Motorist loyalty goes up in cloud of smog
LOS ANGELES — Motorists fuming over noxious tailpipe emissions on Southern California roads are becoming smog snitches in record numbers, officials said.
Calls last month to the smog snitch hotline at the South Coast Air Quality Management P:strict in El Monte jumped 152 percent over March 1989 totals, spokesman Tom Eichhom said Wednesday.
Air quality officials attribute the success partly to a $100,000 billboard advertising campaign, which shows a car belching dense black smoke beneath the words “Report This Crime: 1-800 CUT SMOG.”

Volume CXI, Number 58	University of Southern California	Friday, April 13, 1990
University Security officers arrested a robbery suspect Wednesday night after he allegedly beat a university student and took his wallet at a Bank of America automatic teller machine, officials said.
The suspect, Kevin Davison, 24, was arrested at 28th Street and Portland Avenue at about 9 p.m. and booked at the Los Angeles Police Department's Parker Center on charges of robbery with bodily injury, said Lt. David Ritch of University Security.
Davison approached Amer Moustafa, a graduate student in urban and regional planning, from behind as Moustafa was conducting a transaction at the Versateller ATM at 985 W. Jefferson Blvd. in University Village, Ritch said.
Davison, described as "pretty well-built," took the cash, Moustafa's wallet and checkbook, forcing Moustafa to the ground where he was beaten and kicked repeatedly, Ritch said. Davison used no weapon.
Henry Puintero, a resident adviser at Embassy Residential College, witnessed the scuffle as he was walking friends to their car after a martial arts class and intervened.
Puintero approached Davison and hit him over the head with a rose root stick he was carrying from the class.
"I'm really thankful that I practice Kali," Puintero said.
Ritch later called Puintero a "bona fide hero."

Students surveyed on goals
Money motivates
By Christine Klor

The university's incoming freshmen are increasingly motivated to enter college for high-paying careers rather than for obtaining knowledge or effectively raising families, According to the USC Fall Freshmen Survey of 1989.
The survey, which compares USC to other public and private universities, is conducted to gauge why those students chose the university and what they expect to get out of their education, said Kristine Dillon, associate vice president for student affairs.
USC freshmen had the highest percentage among 403 participating universities on all categories prioritizing money, prestige, authority and success.
Eighty-three percent of freshmen polled claimed their first priority was to be financially well-off. The same was said
freshmen, poll finds
by 71 percent of freshmen asked at other private universities, as well as 65 percent of freshmen polled at private highly selective universities.
Students from other private and very selective private institutions placed higher than USC in the categories of raising a family, helping others in difficulty and developing a philosophy of life.
USC students also placed high, in comparison to the other schools, in the the categories of aspiring for a bachelor's degree, graduating with honors and making at least a "B" average, according to the survey.
While the survey indicates high percentages in categories pertaining to financial and educational success, it indicates low percentages in the categories of acting on those goals.
University freshmen responded that they spent an average of 15 percent of
their time studying during high school. They spent more than twice that time socializing. In comparison with students from highly selective institutions, USC freshmen spent less time studying and more time working for pay.
Dillon said she thinks the freshmen intend to study more in college than in high school.
"A freshman has four years on them and can afford to be optimistic," Dillon said.
Dillon said the fact that many USC students polled money as a top priority is because of strong majors that are money-related.
"It doesn't surprise me that USC draws a more career-oriented response and a response that is interested in making money when we have majors that are clearlv related to making money. Business is one-third of the undergraduate population," Dillon said.
