national Battalion/Page 10 April /, 1982 Gutsy girl hostage helps nab gunman United Press International HOT SPRINGS, Ark. — A “gutsy” young woman hostage helped disarm a junior college student ending his wild, 125- mile flight from the classroom where he had shot and killed his teacher and another student. Kelvin Ray Love, a datap- rocessing student reportedly having trouble with his studies at Garland Community College, was arrested Monday at a police roadblock where he crashed his hostage’s car. The hostage, classmate Car rie Loy, 18, escaped unharmed and Love, 26, was charged with murder and kidnapping. “A terrible, terrible thing,” said Gerald Fisher, president of the college. “These two men who were killed were fine peo ple. We think the student was shot accidentally. We really just don’t know much.” William “Buddy” Putman, 38, head of the dataprocessing department at the two-year col lege, and Donald Schamp, 34, of Hot Springs, a business adminis tration major, were both shot in the head. A witness told authorities Love was waiting in line to work at a computer terminal when Putman asked to speak to him about his grades. Putman started walking toward his office, Love pulled a .357- magnum revolver and “all of a sudden there was a shot,” said a spokesman for the Garland County Sheriff’s Office. “Putman ran for his office,” the spokesman said. “Love fol lowed him to the doorway and fired two more times. Putman dived underneath his desk and the witnesses said they began leaving the room. They said there were two or three more shots.” Witness Mike Estright, 25, said Schamp had just offered to let Love use his computer ter minal when the firing began. Estright said he saw two more flashes, then saw Love put his arm around Loy’s shoulder and hold a gun to her ribs. Love, who also was armed with a knife, fled with Loy in her car, and police statewide were notified. Mena Police Chief Don Allen, 100 miles west of Hot Springs, spotted the car driving at speeds up to 75 miles mph and Love was chased to a roadblock at Hatton, 25 miles to the south. Love smashed through the roadblock and tried to continue, but “he’d blown the engine and the left front tire was completely off the rim,” Allen said. The car finally rolled to a stop, straddling the center line of the highway. Polk County Sheriff A1 Had- away spoke to Love through a loudspeaker and persuaded him to give up his gun. Loy — a “gut sy young lady,” Allen said — Man wins suit over broken toe United Press International ST. LOUIS — A former truck driver who says pain from a broken toe caused him to shoot his doctor has been awarded $150,000 in a damage suit against an electrical equipment company. There Mueller’s suit said he was driving for a freight com pany on March 7, 1975, when he was sent to pick up rolls of wire from Eastern Electric Sales Co. Mueller, 62, broke a toe when a blade fell off a forklift and hit his foot. Mueller said Eastern Electric was negligent and testified at his trial last month that his toe con tinued to hurt even though he was treated by Dr. Dominic Cos ta and several other doctors. In 1977, Mueller waited on a parking lot outside Costa’s office and shot him in the leg with a shotgun. Mueller testified he shot Cos ta to make him understand the pain he felt. A St. Louis Circuit Court jury awarded Mueller $50,000 in actual damages and $75,000 in punitive damages. The jury also awarded $25,000 in damages to his wife, Katherine. Mueller had pleaded guilty to assault in the Costa shooting and was placed on probation in 1978 by Circuit Judge Michael J. Hart. A lawyer for Eastern Electric said the company was seeking a new trial in the damage case. somehow got Love’s knife and tossed it out the window of the car. Love, who moved from Little Rock to Hot Springs several years ago, was a full-time data processing student, college spokesman Larry Bracken said. Putman, a father of two, pre viously had worked for the city of Hot Springs and a construc tion company. He began teaching at Garland County Col lege two years ago. Raises don’t keep workers United Press International NEW YORK — Eight of 10 people who are thinking of leaving a job — and then stay because the company gives them an immediate raise — leave the job within six months anyway, according to a leading middle- management recruiting firm. The most important reason they leave, says Robert Kushell, president of the Dunhill Personnel System, is that unhappy employees often don’t have money on their mind in the first place. They are discontented for other reasons, such as lack of recognition, little responsibil ity or infrequent advance ment. The quick raise given when the employee talks about leav ing is flattering at first, Kushell says, and masks other unhappiness for a while but the reasons for that unhappi ness usually emerge again in a short time. Often, too, Kushell says, the boss making the offer re gards the employee’s con sideration of leaving as dis loyalty and despite the raise, the employee may be later passed over for promotion or even fired. Even worse, he said, many employees in that position don’t realize the boss offering the raise is usually just buying time. Fhe boss willoftenlfi looking immediatelyfoni placement.
