Nation: Farmer to receive $100,000 for engine part
ALTA, Iowa — The farmer who found the 400-pound engine part suspected of causing a jet crash that killed 112 people learned Thursday that she will get more than $100,000 from General Electric Co.
“It’s just a shock. I can manage $20,000, but this?” said Janice Sorenson, who found the piece while harvesting corn with a combine on Tuesday.
GE had offered a $50,000 reward for the titanium fan disk from the rear engine of United Airlines Flight 232, which crashed July 19 in Sioux City, killing 112 of the 294 people on board. GE manufactured the engine.
Investigators suspect the fan disk came apart, causing the engine to disintegrate and spew shrapnel that severed the jet’s hydraulic system and made the plane virtually impossible to control.
Mrs. Sorenson said she and her husband had no immediate plans for the money. They have lived on the farm since 1953.

The university's efforts to combat Parkinson's disease earned praise Wednesday from entertainers Bob Hope and Dick Clark at an inauguration ceremony for medical research and patient care programs on campus.
About 200 invited guests attended the reception at the Andrus Gerontology Center to toast the joint effort between the university and the National Parkinson Foundation.
"I became involved 32 years ago after a close friend, whose wife had Parkinson's, asked me to go down to the foundation's national headquaters in Miami to speak at a fundraising dinner," said Hope, the foundation's national chairman. "I have been involved ever since.
"I felt I had to do it. I felt I had a responsiblity to do all that I could to help," he said.
In a brief presentation, Hope congratulated foundation offi-
cials and Parkinson's researchers for their efforts to find a cure for the debilitating disease. He concluded by applauding the foundation's decision to expand its operation to the West Coast.
Clark, like Hope, had personal reasons for becoming involved with the foundation.
"My father died of Parkinson's disease when he was 93 years old," said Clark, a member of the foundation's board of governors. "He was lucky, though. He never became totally disabled by the disease like too many others."
The national foundation plans to serve the West Coast by supporting Parkinson's research at the Andrus Gerontology Center and the School of Medicine's neurology department.
Clinical services will be associated with the School of Medicine in an outpatient clinic adjacent to County-USC Medical Center.

Suspected burglar taken into custody
Security arrests Burnside, ending a two-day search
By Michael Utley
Staff Writer
University Security officers arrested the man they believe was responsible for a recent string of burglaries in the North University Park area Thursday morning, Security said.
Daryl Burnside, 27, a career criminal with convictions dating back to the 1970s, was spotted by two Security officers as he crossed Adams Boulevard near Hoover Street. He was immediately arrested and turned over to the Los Angeles Police Department, Security officers said.
"We knew we were going to get him," said arresting officers Gerald Baker and Rory Cochran. "We had been hitting all his known hangouts west and north of campus for two nights — it was just a matter of time."
Burnside will be charged with at least four counts of burglary for incidents where he was either identified by a witness or by his fingerprints at the scene. In addition, he is the prime suspect in more than 30 other burglaries, said Detective Michael Heffernan of LAPD. Bail was set at $50,000.
The district attorney is scheduled to review Burnside's case today, Heffernan said. Burnside could be penalized three to five years in prison or more, depending on past convictions.
"We've been dealing with this guv for a long time," said Lt. Dave Ritch of Security. "I knew him when he was
11	years old, stealing bikes on campus. With all his prior convictions, he'll be serving a number of years in the state pen.
Burnside has also been arrested numerous times for burglary and robbery and has spent time in jail, Ritch added.
"He's always been a neighborhood pain in the butt," Heffeman said. "Anytime anything went down in the area, Daryl was involved. He's been in trouble with drugs since he was a teenager and, although I can't verify this, he was probably fencing the stolen merchandise to support his crack habit."

Elliott was one of three faculty members nominated by Mortar Board for this month's award.
Recognition of outstanding faculty members is one of the oldest projects on this campus, said Joan Schaefer, dean of women and permanent adviser for Mortar Board.
"We have been honoring USC faculty for more than 15 years," Schaefer said.
The faculty award is recognized by the entire university community, she said.
Elliott has received a number of honors and awards for his contributions to the university and to the study of economics, which influenced Mortar Board's decision.
His titles have included: president of the Association for Social Economics; vice president of the History of Economics Society; and director of the National Endowment for the Humanities Faculty Seminar.
