Across from Post Oak Mall Tm PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (AP) — A Moslem zealot’s attempt to overthrow the government, and the burning and looting that accompa nied it, have staggered Trinidad af ter three decades of stable democ racy. The rebels surrendered Wednes day and the six-day coup attempt ended with the safe release of the hostages, but the casualty toll in the assault and subsequent violence was at least 38 dead and 150 wounded. Now Trinidadians face food and gasoline shortages, economic disrup tion from a week of paralyzing cur fews and the devastation left by loot ers and arsonists. This racially and ethnically di verse nation known for sun and ca lypso also must deal with tensions created by the violent effort to de stroy a democracy that has endured since independence from Britain in 1962. wrap r 7W/S HAS BLEW MEKRlTl TEWWIWGS, KEFOUm FROM THE HUBBLE TELESCOPE.

The coup attempt by Abu Bakr, leader of a commune of 250 to 350 Moslems, began July 27. Bakr and his followers, most of whom are poor and black, attacked police headquarters with explosives and seized Prime Minister N.R. Rob inson and other government offi cials in Parliament House.

Bakr’s immediate demands were the prime minister’s resignation and elections within 90 days. “I don’t know that they planned beyond taking Red House,” the par liament building, Col. Joe The odore, who led the Trinidad and Tobago Defense Force in the crisis, said. “He went in with a half-baked plan.” , The sports and culture minister, Jennifer Johnson, one of the hos tages, said the rebels were convinced they could improve Trinidad by es tablishing a fundamentalist Moslem state. Bakr, whose newspaper had attacked “satanic” U.S. and Interna tional Monetary Fund economic treatment of Trinidad, promised to help the poor. There were no signs of popular support for Bakr’s attempt to over throw th prime minister. Robinson trails in public opinion polls and elections are due next year. Trinidad has had a boom-to-bust economy over the last 20 years tied to the world price of oil, its main source of wealth. “There is discontent in the coun try,” government spokesman Gre gory Shaw said. “Apparently, he (Abu Bakr) took this as a sign that the people were ready to revolt, but that is not the way Trinidadians change government.” U.S. cities for efforts WASHINGTON (AP) dent Bush paid tribute Mondat 10 All-American Cities, incki Abilene and, for their citizens sponse to disasters, Sioux City,In and Charlotte, N.C. “The cities and citizens we bi today are reminders that Arnett potential is truly unlimited," | said at a White House ceremont] nouncing the winners of an ant National Civic League competitio: Sioux City was honored foritst zens’ response to the crash of United Airlines flight on Julyl 1989.

It I Hi ftEn; Tn Man claims JFK assassination performed by CIA conspirators LC DALLAS (AP) — A 29-year-old former oil equip ment salesman claimed Monday that his father was one of three Central Intelligence Agency operatives who killed President John F. Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963. The CIA immediately denied the claim, calling it “lu dicrous.” The accusation is the latest in a long string of theories about who killed Kennedy. None of the theories, some of which also have pointed to the CIA, have been pro- the conspiracy, while Tippit was uninvolved, Wit said. White said much of his information came from®: father’s diary, but White could not produce the bod He suggested FBI agents had taken it. The FBI issued a statement saying in 1988 it rectk the same information that White divulged Mondavi?, “determined that this information is not credible.’’ Official investigations of the assassination have con cluded Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. Ricky Don White has been shopping his version of the assassination for some time, and claimed a year ago that the third co-conspirator still was living in Texas. White, who now lives in Midland, said his father, Roscoe “Rocky” White, joined the Dallas Police Depart ment in September 1963 in order to carry out the assas sination. Ricky White told dozens of reporters that Oswald and police officer J.D. Tippit, who was killed following the assassination, were “patsies.” Oswald was a part of The CIA, which seldom responds to inquiries,! strong rebuttal Monday to White’s claims.

Sophomore mechanical engi neering major Mannaser Marshall said A&M likes to think racism doesn’t exist here, but in actuality there is a lot of it. But another A&M student said she has learned much about her cul ture while attending the University. “I was told to be honest and frank,” senior English major Cyn thia Rinchn said. “I have learned a lot about my culture and being proud of who I am from committees like the Committee for the Aware ness of Mexican-American Culture and the Department of Multicultural Services. “I think it (being a student at A&M) has also detracted from my cultural heritage, and I’m not going to lie about that. Coaches are always telling track athletes not to look back and we’re sitting here looking back. “Sometimes I think if I didn’t Clark have to look back as much and worry about what’s going on because of who I am, that I would have been at the finish line a long time ago,” Rinchn said. “At committee meetings for a dis crimination-free campus, A&M President William H. Mobley talked about the steps we need to take,” Rinchn continued. “But, we’re tak ing so many more steps around the problem in so many dif ferent paths that I’m afraid we’re losing sight of the path of goals im mediately in front of us.” All four students agreed the Uni versity should make mandatory a one-hour cultural awareness course.
