EL RENO, Okla. — A teen-ager
who allegedly held a straight razor to
a Continental Trailways bus driver’s
throat and demanded a straight-
through trip to California Saturday
apparently had become angered by
frequent routine stops, authorities
say.
Lemuel Lewis, 18, who had
boarded the bus at St. Louis, “just
went berserk” when the bus made its
third stop between Tulsa and Okla
homa City, a passenger said.
“Man, I’m going to get that bus
driver if he stops again for no rea
son,” Brian Huggins of Washington,
Okla., quoted Lewis as saying.
Lewis reportedly pulled a straight
razor and held it to bus driver Ger
ald Stewart’s throat following a
lunch stop at a fast food restaurant
at Wellston, Okla., about 10 a.m. Sat
urday.
“He said, ‘Take me straight to Los
Angeles. If you stop I’ll slit your
throat,” said passenger Pam Lee, a
University of Oklahoma freshman.
Lewis was arrested some 50 miles
down the road, about 1,300 miles
short of his desired destination, after
a chase by Oklahoma Highway Pa
trol troopers and local police offi
cers.
Trooper Bruce Watkins spotted
the bus speeding on Interstate 40
about 11 a.m. and attempted to stop
it, but the bus driver appeared to be
deliberately ignoring his orders to
stop.
“It just went right through Okla
homa City,” Highway Patrol spokes
man Stewart Meyer said, adding that
units from several law agencies
joined in the pursuit at speeds of 65
mph to 85 mph.
The bus finally exited the inter
state about 30 miles west of Okla
homa City and headed north on
state highway 270, stopping about
one-half mile later. The driver then
fled the bus, with the hijacker in
pursuit.
After a minor scuffle, Lewis was
disarmed and subdued. Meyer said
Lewis, whose hometown had not
been determined, was treated at an
El Reno hospital and then taken to
the Canadian County jail in El Reno.
He said no one else was injured,
but an unidentified passenger who
complained of chest pains was taken
to the El Reno hospital for obser
vation.
Meyer said Lewis faces hijacking
charges.

All the emphasis on the impor
tance of science and math in paving
the way for success in college and a
high-tech career may be overlooking
the true key to “making it,” a Texas
A&M study indicates.
Good grades in high school En
glish may be the best predictor of
success in college, said Dr. Harold L.
Pace, who conducted the research
for his dissertation in educational
administration at A&M.
Pace, currently registrar at Loui
siana Tech University at Ruston,
came across that finding while
looking at the effectiveness of col
lege remedial work among students
at Louisiana Tech.
“We found that grades in high
school English and the number of
English courses completed in high
school were highly correlated with
all success variables in college,” he
said.
In fact, grades in high school En
glish were more highly correlated
with grades in college math than
were grades in high school math,
Pace said.
“You’ve got to be able to deal in
logic in math, and the English lan
guage is a good teacher of logic,” he
said. “Being able to communicate
and read is essential to every subject
— history, math, science and En
glish.
“What this study shows is that if a
student doesn’t have a good back
ground in English and a command
of the English language, he’s going
to have problems in college,” he said.
Pace’s findings on the effective-'
ness of remedial work were equally
as interesting. Colleges and universi
ties are spending thousands of dol
lars on the remedial programs for
students who didn’t get an adequate
education in high school, but his
study indicates these programs may
not improve regular college work.
Participants in the study were
drawn from students who had com
pleted remedial work and those who
entered the university in 1981 be
fore the courses were available. The
two groups, each consisting of about
100 male and 100 female students,
were matched on several factors in
cluding ACT scores, high school

WASHINGTON — Jimmy Carter
celebrates his 60th birthday today,
busy with enough private projects,
his aides say, that he is having no
problems adjusting to life as a past
president.
Asked by United Press Interna
tional how it feels to reach three
score years, Carter replied, “Old.”
Carter’s aides say he is busy with
fund-raising for the Carter Presi
dential Library and the Carter Cen
ter, busy teaching at Emory Univer
sity, and busy traveling.
“I think he’s adjusted very well to
being a former president and enjoys
being able to speak freely, some
thing you can’t do in the White
House,” said Dan Lee, Carter’s chief
aide.
Indeed, with the election drawing
near. Carter has made it clear he has
no love lost for Ronald Reagan, the
man who beat him in the 1980 White
House race.
The former Georgia governor
and his wife, Rosalynn, had no big
celebration plans to mark his birth
day. Instead they were packing last
week for a tour of South America
beginning Tuesday, featuring visits
to Peru, Brazil and Argentina with
the “Friendship Force,” an exchange
group he promoted when he was in
the White House.
The Carters will not be around
for the last lap of the presidential
race, which pits Walter Mondale,
Carter’s vice president, against Rea
gan. But they did attend a Georgia
state Democratic picnic at Lovejoy,
Ga., Saturday where Reagan was the
chief target.
Carter ripped into Reagan and
declared, “I’m here to say we’re
going to win. We’re going to win be
cause we’re together, because we’re
right.”
Reagan in turn has been relentless
in his charges on the campaign trail
that Carter’s policies led to high in
terest rates, “weakness” in foreign
policy and military strength and a
myriad of other failures.
The conflict between the past and
present chief executives boiled over
last week when Reagan blamed the

grades in math and English and
types of high schools.
After comparing the two groups’
grades in regular college course
work, Pace found there was no dif
ference in the grades the two groups
made.
“The people who had completed
remedial work stayed in school
longer, but they didn’t make any bet
ter grades than the control group,”
he said. “We were looking for a
relationship between remedial and
normal college work and we didn’t
find anything that indicates reme
dial work helps improve students’
performance when they begin col
lege-level work.”
Pace said the results are only in
dicative of one university, but that
the remedial courses at Louisiana
Tech are “standard remedial courses
which the people here at Tech think
are very good.”
“The results of this study put a
question mark in front of the validity
of remedial work for college stu
dents,” he said. “Are we really doing
any good? Are we really gaining any
thing?”

annex in Beirut on “the near de
struction of our intelligence capabil

White House aides said he was talk
ing about the Carter years.
Carter demanded an apology. In
stead, Reagan telephoned his prede
cessor Friday to assure him that he
was not talking about him and to ex
plain that his remark had been “mis
interpreted.”
But Carter indicated Saturday
that he still was irate over what he
called the “steady stream of false al
legations over the past four years
that everything that went wrong or
every mistake was the fault of some
one else.”
Carter jabbed Reagan with the
declaration that the Republican’s
“only foreign policy success” was to
get an appointment with a Soviet
diplomat — a reference to Reagan’s
meeting Friday with Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko.
Carter recently spent a week in
New York on a “Habitat for Human
ity” project.
