In Brief
West Germany will give East Germans money to aid merge
EAST BERLIN — West Germany agreed Monday to give East Germans a bigger share of Western wealth as their struggling nation is merged with its rich neighbor.
In a surprising concession, West Germany said it would exchange each East German mark paid to workers and pensioners for one strong West German mark.
The 1-1 rate would apply to wages and pensions and to savings accounts of up to 4,000 marks ($2,300), said Dieter Vogel, spokesman for West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl.
The East German government had demanded the 1-1 rate to protect workers from higher living costs in a unified Germany and the loss of huge subsidies that existed in the former socialist system.
Nation: New oat bran ice cream satisfies cravings
BOSTON — Government food scientists looking for a healthier way to satisfy forbidden cravings said Monday they have created the ultimate in guilt-free desserts — oat bran ice cream.
Actually, calling it ice cream is stretching it a bit, for it has none of the fat-filled cream that is an essential ingredient of the real thing. Instead, it gets its creamy consistency from a tasteless, fat-like gel that’s made entirely from oats.
Its principal creator, George E. Inglett, calls this secret ingredient Oatrlm. He said it could take the place of fat in many cold foods, including mayonnaise, cheese spreads and margarine.
State: Vandals cut power to thousands of customers
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — Hand-delivered messages were dropped off at many media outlets Monday, taking responsibility for vandalism that cut power to 92,000 Pacific Gas & Electric customers in Santa Cruz and Watsonville.
The group that assumed responsibility for two incidents said the target was PG & E, the large utility company that they called a "corporate earth rapist.”
The group’s messages apologized to those people who were affected by the vandalism and asked for understanding of the deeds.

Crowd vandalizes campus
Late-night problems spurred by alcohol plague SpringFest
By Dave Hernandez
Staff Writer
An unexpectedly large SpringFest crowd of nearly 5,000 people created problems for University Security on Saturday evening, with many alcohol-relat-ed incidents that included the overturning of a University Security patrol car, University Security said Monday.
The patrol car incident occurred at 1 a.m., shortly after the concert headliner, the Violent Femmes, left the stage, according to a security report.
"When the concert broke up to leave, one of our vehicles parked near Founder's Park was rolled over," said University Security Sgt. John Lewis.
"Regardless of whether it was a university vehicle, it is very inappropriate to roll over someone's car," Lewis said.
Officials are investigating whether those involved in flipping the car were students, the report stated.
Security officers also took several people into custody for alcohol-related problems, Lewis said.
"We found a subject lying on the street who drank so much that he was unable to care for himself. When our officers went to care for him, (the subject) became combative with them," he said.

Resident assaulted at Cardinal
By Dave Banks
Staff Writer
A female resident of Cardinal Gardens Apartments reportedly was assaulted and battered Saturday morning by a male acquaintance who broke into her apartment while she was calling for help, University Security said Monday.
Sgt. John Lewis of University Security said officers responding to the victim's call took her to the Student Health Center, where she was treated for multiple lacerations of her upper arms and torso and a deep cut on her thumb that required multiple stitches.
Lewis said the victim and a witness have both identified the suspect by name and have given his address to University Security and the LAPD. But Lewis said the suspect was not in custody as of Monday afternoon.
•	The suspect was a student but reportedly had dropped all of his classes for the semester, Lewis said.
The names of the victim and the suspect are being withheld pending a complete investigation, police said.
The assault occurred around 11:20 a.m., Lewis said, when the suspect began shouting for the victim beneath her second-story apartment window. According to testimony from the victim, she refused to answer and closed her drapes.
Lewis said the man "circumvented” the Access system security gate surrounding Cardinal Gardens and made his way to the victim's second-floor apart ment door.
The man then began to pound on the door and threaten her, Lewis said. She then called security.
While the victim was still talking with the security dispatcher, the man allegedly kicked her door down, threw the phone to the floor and began throwing her against the walls and furniture. The suspect then began to beat the victim while she attempted to defend herself with a lamp, Lewis said.
Officials said they are unsure whether the suspect had a weapon.
According to Lewis, security officers arrived at approximately 11:45 a.m. and (See Assault, page 7)
