Florida students resume
daily activities with care
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) —
Campus life was returning to normal
Monday for many college students
frightened by a string of mutilation
murders, but police warned that the
killer could still be on the loose.
Students returning to the Univer
sity of Florida for the second week of
classes said they were less worried
than they were last week by the
deaths of five students who were
found slain in their apartments.
“All you can do is be very careful.
I’m usually in my room before
dark,” Ava, a sophomore from Fort
Lauderdale said, who refused to give
her last name.
“Everyone I know is calming
down,” Aaron Sotala, 20, a sopho
more from Copper Harbor, Mich.,
said. “It has been almost a week, but
there is still tension on the campus.”
Police said they have eight sus
pects, but warned residents against
dropping their guard.
“Students should know that the
killer has not been apprehended —
the killer is not in custody — and as
sume that person or persons is still in

Engineers fix Columbia
third attempt a charm?
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP)
—The countdown began Monday
for NASA’s third attempt to launch
Columbia with the Astro observatory
after engineers solved the latest
problem to befall the mission.
Liftoff is scheduled for 12:20 a.m.
CDT Thursday. It will be the first
shuttle launch in more than four
months — the longest gap between
missions since flights resumed fol
lowing the 1986 Challenger disaster.
Sunday.
Engineers also had trouble verify
ing the telescope’s ability to send sig
nals over a radio link that would be
used during the flight. The problem
was caused by faulty software and
was corrected Sunday, Young said.
“It’s been a long, hot summer, and
we’re just glad to be getting back into
the flight business,” NASA spokes
man Dick Young said. The shuttle
fleet had been temporarily
grounded after hydrogen leaks were
discovered on two of the three orbit-
ers, including Columbia.
NASA decided on a Thursday
launch after re-establishing full con
tact with the X-ray telescope inside
Columbia’s cargo bay. The telescope
is one of four that constitute the
$150 million Astro observatory.
Columbia’s liftoff would have
been delayed until at least Friday if
the problem had not been solved by
midnight Sunday, Young said.
That’s when workers planned to be
gin freezing the argon used to keep
the X-ray telescope’s instruments
cold.
Columbia was supposed to have
gone up May 30, but hydrogen
leaked during fueling and NASA
called off the launch. Atlantis was
the next shuttle scheduled to fly, but
its classified Pentagon mission was
delayed from July to November
when it, too, was found to have hy
drogen leaks.
Contact between the instrument
and launch control computers was
lost Wednesday night after the cargo
bay doors were closed, and NASA
scrubbed Saturday’s launch attempt.
Workers installed a new electronic
component for the telescope inside
the cargo bay and finished testing it
Columbia returned to the launch
pad in August with new hydrogen
lines.
NASA has not sent up a shuttle
since April, when Discovery carried
the flawed Hubble Space Telescope
into orbit.
Columbia has a crew of seven as
tronauts, the largest since Chal
lenger.
Pope urges

Mohawks defend
Indian tribal land
OKA, Quebec (AP) — A shot was
fired Monday morning as soldiers
moved closer to the last area under
control of armed Mohawk warriors.
There was no immediate indica
tion which side fired the shot, but it
did not appear anyone was hit. Both
Mohawk and army spokesmen den
ied firing.
The incident took place as a 2-
month-old standoff wore on today,
with troops surrounding about 30

attack. But army spokesman
Jean-Paul Macdonald said that was
“absolutely wrong.”
“The Canadian Forces are not in
the business of giving ultimatums in
,such sensitive situations,” Macdon
ald said.
Native representatives, including
three chiefs from the Six Nations of
the Iroquois Confederacy, met late
into the night at the center to discuss
ways to end the standoff without vio
lence.
On Sunday, about 350 soliders de
molished the last barricades blocking
access to the Kanesatake Indian res
ervation, and seized control of most
of it. Mohawks were confined to a
small wooded area around the cen
ter.
The Indians had errected the bar
ricades at Kanesatake and another
Mohawk community, Kahnawake, in
a dispute over plans by Oka town of
ficials to expand a golf course onto
what they claim is tribal land.
Late Sunday, the militants issued
a statement saying the army had
given them an ultimatum to surren-

SONGEA, Tanzania (AP) —
Pope John Paul II decried today
the failure of development in Af.
rica, blaming a thirst for power
and profit for plunging the conti
nent into poverty and injustice.
“How many young people in
Africa are deeply affected by the
lack of hope that overshadows
their future,” the pope said on
the third day of a 10-aay African
tour.
John Paul Hew from the coun
try’s commerc ial capital, the port
city of Dar es Salaam, 380 miles to
southwestern Songea to celebrate
Mass.
The pope was greeted by tradi
tional dancers and music, people
singing hymns and ululating
Alxmt 25,000 people attended
the service, which was held in an
open field in the African savan
nah.
“Certainly it is not easy for peo
ple, especially young people, to
be self-giving and generous when
they see around them so much
poverty and suffering, so mam
instances of neglect and injus
tice,” he said in his homily.
John Paul said the hopes o!
many Third World countries
have been dashed by hunger,
malnutrition, crime and corrup
tion.
He compared the situation to
the chaos described in the Bool
of Genesis — the world was a
“formless void and there was
darkness over the deep.”
But he urged Africans to main
tain hope.
“Many problems of devel
opment, no matter how overpow
ering, can be solved if there is a
new attitude diametrically op
posed to a selfish desire for profit
and the thirst for power,” the
pope said.
He was to fly to northwestern
Mwanza, on the shores of Lake
Victoria, later in the day to bless
100 patients at an Episcopal-run
hospital, make a speech and dine
with the archbishop. Monsignor
Anthony Mayala.
On Sunday, the pontiff called
for cooperation and brotherhood
between Christianity and Islam in
Africa, where the world’s tw>o
largest religions have occasionally
clashed in competition for con
verts.
John Paul winds up the Tanza
nia leg of his seventn trip to Af
rica on Wednesday. He will goon
to Burundi, Rwanda and Ivon
Coast, where he ends the trip
Sept. 10 with the consecration of
a massive basilica.
