or irojan Volume CXI, Number 16 University of Southern California Friday, February 2, 1990 In Brief_ German leaders may discuss possibility of united fatherland EAST BERLIN — East Germany's Communist premier on Thursday appealed for negotiations with West Germany to forge a “united fatherland” that eventually would be neutral and governed from Berlin. West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl welcomed the call to discuss reunification but rejected the call for military neutrality. “Such a proposal contradicts the logic of the pan-European process of unification,” Kohl said. He added that a single German state in the heart of Europe could not afford to be isolated. Nation: Legislators pull wool over peer’s eyes LANSING, Mich. — A lawmaker who missed more sessions than she attended last year demanded an apology Thursday after a eight-year incumbent was introduced to her as a newly elected legislator and she fell for the prank. Rep. Ethel Terrell issued a news release saying she refused to attend House sessions until she received an apology from Reps. Jerry Bartnik and Philip Hoffman. The two promptly apologized to her and anyone else they may have offended, after expressing disbelief that she had issued the statement. Local: Hit man killed off by assassins, police say LOS ANGELES — A woman was charged with soliciting the murder of her cameraman husband, then paying assassins to kill the hit man who arranged the slaying, authorities said. Mary Ellen Samuels, 42, was charged Tuesday in San Fernando Municipal Court with hiring James V. Bernstein and one or two other people to kill Robert Samuels, Deputy District Attorney Myron Jenkins said. Samuels, 40, was a motion-picture cameraman who was shotgunned and beaten to death in his home, Jenkins said. Prosecutors allege Mrs. Samuels then hired two other men to kill Bernstein, 26, and dump his body in a remote area of Ventura County.

Life/Arts, page 6 > wins! Security exonerates officers Force used in arrest called appropriate By Paul Malcolm Staff Writer University Security officers were cleared of allegations that they had used excessive or inappropriate force Nov. 30 during an arrest of a burglary suspect, security officials said Thursday. "As a result of our investigation they (the five officers involved) did not violate any rules or regulations," said Lt. Luther Lanier who exonerated the officers after reviewing the report on Jan. 26. The decision formally closed a six-week University Security internal investigation and was founded on conflicting testimony given to security by witnesses of the incident. "Basically, 15 people were interviewed," said Steven Ward, executive director of University Security. "There was no agreement, in many respects, from story to story." Officers Patricia Thompson and Martin Jones, two of the officers on the scene, and Lt. Jim Kennedy, who conducted the investigation, could not be reached for comment Thursday. * The investigation began after an eye- witness of the incident, Sandra Scott, administrative secretary for the Science and Industry Museum, sent a letter to Chief Ward, the Daily Trojan and the Office ot Civic and Community Relations. "We interviewed everyone she (Scott) said was present. There was no corroboration of physical abuse of him (Reginald Mabry) on the ground," Ward said.

The Student Senate resolution suggested restricting areas and times for bicycle use, establishing bike paths or giving stu dents more time between classes. The Faculty Senate called for the ban to reduce the danger of collisions between bicyclists and pedestrians, vehicles and other bicyclists, said Dennis Archam-bault, special projects administrator. "Pedestrians always have the right of way," Archambault said. In the event of a collision, the bicyclist is responsible for all damages, including property and injuries, he said. "Riders can be brought in for student conduct, and, if they leave an accident . . . they can be charged with vehicular hit and run," Archambault said. There were three reported collisions between bicycles and vehicles on campus in 1989, said Doug Moore, university insurance manager. Statistics for other collisions were not available.
