PROBE (Continued from page i) composed of representatives from (the county’s) racial and «thntn minority communities and law enforcement," CRS Director Grace Flores Hughes said. Ms. Hughes is the highest ranking Hispanic official m-the Justice Dept., Daryl Borgquist, CRS media affairs officer, told NNPA. The NAACP has agreed to assist the Sheriff Department’s minority recruitment efforts by identifying ' and recommending suitable candidates for employment consideration. Folr its part, the Sheriffs Dept, has also agreed to review its current policies and procedures governing off-duty employment of commissioned law enforcement personnel in private , security capacities. Campus police were called to Arizona State’s fraternity row when four Black students were attacked by a group of white fraternity members. Black track stars Robert Rucker and James Liddell were handcuffed and put in a police car in “Protective custody”, police said. A white mob chanted racial slurs. The incident triggered the largest civil rights demonstration in the history of the school as about 600 students and faculty members held an eight-and one-half hour march and sit-in protest. Arizona has about 32, 253 undergraduates; 752, or 2.3 per cent, are Black. ;$yhe attacking white fraternity * rubers “mistook” the Blacks for ipects in an earlier incident, police id. In that incident a white man and man had been reportedly hurt in a pute with four men, three of them ck. The FBI is investigating to ermine if the Black students’ civil ts were violated. JjThe Arizona State incident seems to b5; part of a growing number of racial indents on U. S. College campuses. 1|( Providence, RI, recently i$euguarated Brown University Resident Vartan Gregorian, after tudents found computer printed * rs demanding to “keep white remacy alive", and urging _fits to join the “Brown Chapter df the KKK”, vowed: “I issue a solemn warning that it is the policy of ity administration to take action sBainst those who incite hatred or pfjrpetrate acts of vandalism in our community.” | CONSUMER BILL •I (Continued from page 1) •5*C ' dually is. “Most banks indicated that {they had never calculated that and Ihe ones that did give us a figure Siedged it so that the only conclusion Jwe can reach is that hard data as to Icost is simply not available.” 1 Senate Bill 924 would have still {charged the same amount for the Sxwnced checks, hut the difference {would have gone for school construc tion rather than to the banking in Idustry. ‘ Sen. Ballance said, “I was not tinder any illusion about the support this kind of legislation would have in {the Senate. The consumer simply •does not have much of a voice down ►here.” ! Ballance pledged to continue his {fight to protect those who cannot af ford to hire the big gun to protect {their interest. ! “We’ll keep producing these bills and fighting for them until our voice *{is heard,” Ballance said. Why do SAT TEST (Continued from page 1) •SAT have different educational, jsocial and other background •experiences that help to explain their •performance on the SAT and other • standardized tests. For example, •women who take the SAT are less •likely than men to have taken college I prep courses in high school and more •likely to be the first in their family to 'be going to college. ■ Women also enroll in fewer math •and science courses than men in high •school and college. The courses •women take tend to be ones in which f indents get higher grades. For example, did you know, the average grade in math courses last year was 2.89; the average grade in arts and 'music was 3.59? Researchers continue to look for other reasons for why men and women perform differently on . tests—such as societal expectations, classroom behavior by teachers, biological differences, and differences in interests and attitudes. Blaming a test for score differences keep us from identifying and Idressing the real causes. QUESTION: Do moot minorities get lower scores on the SAT because the words on the test are cuBnrally 'biased them? f Ms. Rlgol: The words on the SAT of students to identify the t for any | the SAT, anyway? Ma. Rlgoi: The SAT helps a college admissions officer determine whether a student might succeed at that college, or in certain areas of study. You also have to remember that grading practices and standards differ from class to class and school to school in the nation’s 25,000 high schools. The SAT is a common yardstick or standard that the admissions officer can use when comparing students and evaluating their grades. QUESTION: Do you have any final advice for stndents preparing to take the SAT on May < or daring the next academic year? Ms. Rlgoi: Most of us are less likely to be anxious or nervous if we know what to expect. Students should review the sample questions, explanations, and test directions in taking the SAT. I also have a special message for juniors, who make up the bulk of students taking the SAT in May: Beware of “senioritis.” Your senior year counts. Although challenging courses and good grades are important all through high school, colleges do pay attention to the senior year. Juniors should also use the summer to read as much and as widely as possible. Reading certainly helps develop skills needed for college, not to mention that it’s good preparation for next fall’s SAT. (Continued from page 1) ding a number of key amend ments—including one that doubles the capital requirements approved by the Senate last month. This provision requires savings and loan operators to risk $3 of “real money," or tangible capital, for every $100 they lend. The capital serves as a buffer to absorb losses before governmental deposit insurance is needed. “If these capital standards are enacted, savings and loan owners will have to gamble with their own money, instead of taxpayers’ hard earned dollars,” Price said. The committee also included amendments that would help the poor get housing. One provision requires the Resolution Trust Corp—ttye new government agency that Will li quidate failed SALs—to offer low- and moderate-income people and non profit groups an option to buy residential properties held by failed thrifts. Another provision requires the industry to spend $75 million a year to finance reduced-rate mor tgages for low- and moderate-income people. “These are innovative methods of increasing home ownership, and I ap plaud them," Price said. “Over the last two years, I’ve worked hard to make housing affordable for everyone. I’m glad to see that the savings and loan reqcue {dan also pro vides these opportunities.” Other provisions in the bill were crafted to help consumers, including three amendments offered by Price. His amendments would strengthen the political independence of the FDIC’s board, limit the amount of taxpayer money SAL regulators can obligate and require fuller disclosure of merger or acquisition agreements by the RTC. (Continued (Tom page 1) Under the new SDIP, there will be three categories of at-fault accidents. The applicable SDIP points are: e Three points assigned for bodily injury, death and/or 92,000 or more in property damages; eTwo points assigned for property damage in excess of $1,000, but less than $2,000; and eOne point assigned for property damage of $1,000 or less. However, the law forbids charging Reinsurance Facility recoupment surcharges for at-fault accidents in caess where there was no bodily in jury and the insured paid for the acci dent instead of having it paid by the insurer. The pottcyboMer’s paying the cost does not affect the applica tion of SDIP points or allocation sur charges. ‘ ; The SDIP surcharge will be in creased from 10 to 12 points for drivers convicted of Driving While Impaired. The SDIP surcharge for 12 points will be 400 percent, the highest pnHwitigii under the new plan. the new plan will give one examp tion per houiohoiil from the ippUct* tion of recoupment surcharges the assignment of SDIP pointa for a “Prayer for Judgement Continued” diapoaition for a moving violation. :hargea.

Assigned 4 points and a 90 percent surcharge are failing to stop and report when involved in a motor vehi cle accident resulting in property damage only; driving a motor vehicle in a reckless manner; passing a stop ped school bus; and speeding in ex cess of 75 miles an hour. Carrying 3 points and a 65 percent surcharge is each at-fault auto acci dent that results in bodily injury or death or total damage to all property, including the insured’s own, of $2,000 or more. Assigned 2 points and a 40 percent surcharge are: illegal passing; each at-fault auto accident that results in total damage to all property, in cluding the insured’s own, in excess of $1,000 but less than $2,000; speeding from 66 to 75 miles an hour when the posted speed limit is 65 miles an hour ; speeding more than 10 miles an hour when the posted speed limit is 55 miles an hour provided that the total speed was less than 76 miles an hour; speeding from 56 to 65 miles an hour when the posted speed limit is 55 miles per hour; following too close ly; and driving on the wrong side of the road.

There is a waiver of the points for certain speeding offenses if the same driver has not been convicted of at least one other moving traffic viola tion during the same experience period as the speeding offenses. The speeding charges to which the waiver applies are speeding 10 miles an hour limit. 55 mues per nour or less, ine waivers do not apply to convictions for speeding in a school zone in excess of the Dos ted school zone speed. JEWS-CHRISTIANS (Continued from page 1) Hebrew sense is to'do universal justice, mercy, and right. Any issue, no matter how humanly horren dous-even the holocausts of history—cannot detract from those essential truths or indicators. Examples of selective justice may well be issues like homelessness, have/have-not matters, the West Bank, South Africa, holocausts, cor porate pollution of the environment, high rental fees in urban areas, hunger, refugee concerns throughout the world, and pornographic violence. These were not addressed, as they should have been. Finally, both traditions need to see the question of selective justice, selective mercy, and selective right as being paramount and worthy of full debate, complete commitment, and future reconciliation/harmony. Perhaps the real lesson of the Holocaust would be that no nation can build its kingdom on fraud and force, injustice, violence, or idolatry. No matter how horrible the horrors of history are, hope and healing are still possible. The Jewish and Christian faith communities must always move' toward reconciliation. As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said so profoundly, so eloquently, we do not forget the holocaust of the Middle Passage where millions died, or the other holocausts of history, but they never should be obetades for reconciliation or doing justice in the present anywhere and at all timee. to speak out, grow up in shame and disgrace.” Malcolm gave voice to the vote'ieati. F* dir nut apeak for those blaci - in U«* ,-uburbs or on some cor porate board. He spoke for those then, like today, who are locked out. More than any other person of Ms day or since, Malcolm made us a world people again. He looked out beyond the borders of the United States and found black people Just like us all over the world. We look like each other, all over the world; walk and talk like each other. We face the same problems and seek the same solutions. Malcolm said our greatest untap ped resource is our unity, worldwide.
