Department spokeswoman
Joyce Jackson said officers had
regained control of the Conner
Correctional Center, all fires
were out, food was taken in and
the prison was evacuated. She
said the inmates were being
taken to other state prisons and
none would be housed in county
jails.
The center, about 40 miles
northwest of Tulsa, was de
signed for 400 inmates.
Authorities identified the
man slain in the rioting as Greg
Hodges, 27, who was serving a
12-year sentence from McCur-
tain County for second-degree
murder.
Corrections Department Di
rector Larry Meachum said an
autopsy would be required to
determine the cause of death,
but Dennis James, a hospital
administrator in Hominy, said
Hodges suffered gunshot
wounds to the chest.
All of the inmates were
rounded up by 4 a.m. CDT, offi
cials said.
Meachum had said an hour
earlier that 130 inmates still
were not cooperating. Shortly
after midnight a spokesman for
Gov. George Nigh said only 200
inmates were under control and
another 500 were believed to be
loose within the medium-
security facility.
John Reid, the governor’s
news secretary, said the facility
housed 748 inmates and the en
tire prison was involved in
rioting.

SLOB CHIC: Beverly Hills
designer Michael Kaplan, who
made the slob look chic in
“Flashdance,” is amazed at the
way it has caught on. “I never
expected this,” he said of the
torn T-shirt and slashed sweat
shirt look he popularized in the
movie. He said the floppy look
was done for practical, not tren
dy, reasons. Jennifer Beals, star
of the movie, is built nothing like
Marine Jahan, the dancer who
doubled for her. The loose-
fitting clothes served to camouf
lage their bodies, making it
easier to interchange shots of
the two.
“I don’t think I really even
created the look,” he said. “I
think maybe I validated some
thing that already existed on a
small scale and now it’s more
widespread.” Kaplan, 33, said it
also helped that Beals “has such
beautiful shoulders.”
MARTINA’S SLAM: Marti
na Navratilova has something
more on her mind than winning
this week’s U.S. Open — she is
being sued for $2 million by
photographer Art Seitz. Seitz
claims that he was covering the
match last Sept. 7, when Navra
tilova was upset about losing in
the quarter finals to Pam Shriv
el', and “viciously attacked and
physically assaulted him, caus
ing bodily injury.” Seitz is being
represented by Marvin Mitch-
elson through his New York
associates, Clair & Daniele.
Mitchelson, an alimony-
palimony lawyer who prides
himself on defending women’s
rights, said, “This is a woman’s
wrong.” Seitz also is suing the
Garrison Security Corp., the
Open’s security force.
