Working with the School of Music

College presented the first of four
chamber concerts last night. F'uture
concerts will be presented on June
13, 20, and 27.
Each of the four concerts f eatures
different composers, and the variety
of musical themes are reflected in
the titles. The June 13 performance,
“Twentieth-Century American Pi
oneers,” includes works by George
Gershwin and composer Lou Harri
son, who will be on hand to present
some of his works and give some his

Officials struggle
to help deaf boy
find home, family
EL PASO (AP) — A hearing-im
paired boy may have added another
piece to the puzzle of his identity
Monday by repeatedly pointing to a
puzzle piece corresponding to the
state of Oklahoma, officials said.
Law authorities also were check
ing into whether the boy, who is be
lieved to be from the United States
and was found wandering in a Mexi
can border town last year, is from Il
linois.
The boy — nicknamed Sabat by
child protection workers caring for
him in J uarez, Mexico — has a fond
ness for American food and cartoon
characters and is familiar with U.S.
currency.
The hoy has scars on his left knee,
abdomen and back that seem to be
two or three years old, and he has re
peatedly sketched an airplane crash
in attempts to communicate. Au
thorities believe the sketches may
mean the boy was the only member
of his family to survive a plane crash.

He is called Sabat because he was
found on a Saturday, or “sabado” in
Spanish. He bears some resemblance
to a 4-year-old who disappeared
from Decatur, Ill., in October 1985,
officials said.
The Center for Missing and Ex

missing boy, named T.J. Davison,
and was forwarding copies of Davi

A visit by an NBC television crew
over the weekend yielded a possible
clue as to where the child is from.
Reporters and child protection
workers disassembled a wooden puz
zle of the United States and laid out
the 50 pieces corresponding to the
states.
“He kept pointing to Oklahoma,”
Ayala said Monday. “He had drawn
a picture of a house — a two-story
house. He kept pointing to the
house and we had the states lined up
and he kept pointing to that partic
ular one (Oklahoma).”
Even when a social worker cov
ered the puzzle piece corresponding
to Oklahoma, the boy insisted on
looking for the missing state, she
said.
