'> j-1 u ■ • Si >, Volume CXI, Number 4 In Brief_ Four Mexican police implicated in violent rape, robbery cases MEXICO CITY — Four city policemen sought in a series of rapes and robberies have been turned over to authorities for prosecution, city Attorney General Ignacio Morales Lechuga said. Lechuga said authorities are looking for others who also were involved in the attacks. Fourteen victims who filed complaints between March and D^ember of 1989 said they were attacked by groups of three to seven men. From their descriptions, investigators said the assailants wore suits and ties and used vehicles and weapons of the type used by police. Money-laundering bank to help in Noriega case TAMPA, Fla. — An international bank pleaded guilty Tuesday to cocaine-related money-laundering charges, agreed to forfeit a record $14 million and to help prosecutors who say the case has ties to Manuel Noriega. U.S. District Judge W. Terrell Hodges accepted pleas from two divisions of the Luxembourg-based Bank of Credit and Commerce International and found them guilty, but has not set a date for formally imposing the sentence. McMartin jurors debate over conspiracy charge LOS ANGELES — Jurors deliberating in the marathon McMartin Pre-School molestation trial hit a snag in their talks as they returned from a long weekend Tuesday, questioning the legal elements of a conspiracy charge. Superior Court Judge William Pounders sent attorneys to consult their law books while jurors deliberated on other counts filed in the nation’s longest and costliest criminal trial. The jurors, considering 65 molestation charges against Raymond Buckey, 31, and his mother, Peggy McMartin Buckey, 63, were puzzled about whether they could convict one defendant of a ' single conspiracy charge while acquitting the other. <• From the Associated Press Index Komlx.......................................

Jackson was wearing his shoulder harness but not his lap belt, police said. The second passenger, Jean-Paul Marnoni, a 20 year-old undeclared sophomore, was "five minutes from death" when brought into County-UCLA Medical Center, hospital officials said. Marnoni, a member of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, Rick Jackson was released Tuesday at 1 p.m. "He was without a pulse when police arrived (at the crash scene)," said Richard Richards of the California Highway Patrol. Marnoni was fully restrained and sat in the rear seat, Richards said.

Ayares complainedopf. chest pains and suffered hand and facial lacerations, he said. Like Jackson, Ayares only wore his shoulder harness. The three students, friends since high school, were on their way home early Sunday from Toe's Tavern and The Red Onion in Redondo Beach. Ayares attracted the attention of Redondo Beach police Sgt. James Worford after allegedly running numerous stop signs, police said. A pursuit began and wound its way into Rancho Palos Verdes. "They made a right onto Paseo Del Campo. With officers still pursuing, they ran two more signs," said Ron Eschols, of the Palos Verdes Police Department.

The alcohol-free dance club, co-sponsored by KSCR Student Radio, Dining Services and Program Board, will be open to all students over 18 and their guests from 8 p.m. until 1 a.m. every Saturday. "We've been working hard for the last three months to get this under way," said Nikki Vaescovi, marketing and prom-tions manager for Dining Services. "It's a good idea," said Dan Marvin, a freshman majoring in business. "It's another outlet to do besides going to Westwood." Expenses will be covered by a charge of $3 per person, which includes one soft drink with admission. James Dennis, vice president of Student Affairs, allocated $2500 for lighting that will create a professional club effect. Music will be provided by KSCR's mobile service, with DJs Barry Mau, Tomas Go-mez-Engler, and Frank Minero. Club Underground staff will consist of student volunteers and Dining Services employees. "Weekends are pretty boring," said Rich West, a freshman majoring in prebusiness and a KSCR DJ. "A lot of freshmen and sophomores don't know what's going on on campus.

Monday morning and was apparently cushioned by the heavy snowfall. "There was no warning,' said Nicole Blohm, a senior majoring in broadcast journalism and political science. "The pilot said we were going to land in a few minutes. Then we were sliding down the mountain. I think it was a shock for the pilots too." All 14 passengers, including Blohm, her younger sister and one crew member on SkyWest flight 5855 from Salt Lake City, walked away from the scene with minor injuries, according to Tuesday's edition of the Reno Gazette-Jourml. The pilot, who successfully guided the twin-engine Fairchild Metro III turboprop down a snow-blanketed slope, remained in the plane because of a broken leg and chest and head injuries, the Gazette-Journal reported. The scene of the 9:30 a.m. crash was about four miles south of Elko Municipal Airport. "The plane hit a VOR pole, a device used for navigation. The plane was about 550 feet too low," Blohm said. "I knew we were crashing. My father is a pilot and I knew this was more than a bumpy landing. I thought it was fatal. I was expecting an explosion," she said. Blohm and her sister were returning from California to Elko, their hometown, to attend a funeral for a friend, the Gazette-Journal reported. "I was sitting by an emergency exit," Blohm said, "but 1 couldn't get the door open. Another emergency door was opened and my sister and I were able to get out.
