Guatemalan army ousts Serrano Bangkop
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GUATEMALA CITY — Guatemala's powerful
army ousted President Jorge Serrano on Tuesday
and appointed his vice president in charge temporar
ily. The takeover came a week after Serrano dis
solved parliament and imposed one-man rule.
Initially, lawmakers said Defense Minister Gen. Jose
Domingo Garcia Samayoa took over the government
Tuesday morning, and was negotiating with members
of the dissolved Congress to elect a successor.
Late in the day, a government communique said
Vice President Gustavo Espina Salguero would as
sume presidential duties until new elections could be
called.
It said Congress and the Supreme Court, disband
ed by Serrano last week when he declared emer
gency rule, would remain dissolved.
The communique said Serrano was, "separated
from his responsibilities in an action invoked by the
army, private enterprise and political parties."
There were no reports of violence in the capital.
Linares and several other deputies said the mili
tary was meeting with deputies to prepare for an ex
traordinary session of Congress on Wednesday and
elect a provisional successor.
The mass opposition to Serrano's May 25 declara
tion of one-man rule underlined widespread support
among Guatemalans for democracy and a refusal to
accept a return to dictatorship.
That pressure may have prompted the military to
take over, though Linares said the threat of an eco
nomic embargo by the international community was
what prompted the army to take action.
Hundreds of deputies, business and civic leaders
and military officers mingled in the three-story
palace, holding meetings in government offices.
They included several deputies and officials who
had been in hiding since last week.
Outside, hundreds of people massed in the main
plaza, chanting, "Serrano has fallen, Serrano has fall
en." They tore up newspapers for confetti and set off
firecrackers across the broad plaza.
The ousted president's whereabouts weren't im
mediately known. Amid the chaos, Serrano and his
chief of staff. Col. Francisco Ortega Menaldo, left the
palace and sped away in a car to an unknown desti
nation.
Jose Fernando Lobo Dubon, who was the head of
Congress before it was banned, said Garcia Samayoa
would assume interim power until a president is
found who is, "more representative of the people."
He didn't elaborate.
Linares said the military wants to stay out of poli
tics, "but it cannot because the crisis is very grave."
The country's official human rights investigator
Ramiro de Leon Carpio also confirmed that Serrano
had been ousted and the defense minister took over.

Parents of UCLA
strikers to meet
with chancellor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES - With their
children weakening, parents of
students in the seventh day of a
hunger strike to demand a UCLA
Chicano Studies department
made plans Monday to meet with
the university's chancellor.
"We admire the depth of our
children's conviction and we
wholeheartedly support the es
tablishment of a Chicano Studies
department, but we fear desper-
atelyTor their health," said Bertha
Lara, mother of hunger striker
Maria Lara.
The parents were to gather at
Chancellor Charles Young's office
Tuesday, whether he agrees to a
meeting or not, said Jorge Mancil-
las, a School of Medicine profes
sor who is on the water-only fast
with the students.
Phone calls to UCLA officials
were not immediately returned
Monday evening.
The strikers are in danger of
suffering permanent kidney and
liver damage, Mancillas said.
They include five UCLA students,
a high school student who is a sis
ter of a UCLA student, and a stu
dent from Mexico, he said.
The strikers are staying in a
tent on campus, and on Monday
a group of dancers in Aztec cos
tumes visited to honor and enter
tain them.
The group is demanding estab
lishment of a Chicano Studies de
partment with permanent faculty.
Alcohol washes out anti-cancer effects
from fruits, vegetables, researchers say
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - The anti
cancer benefit of eating lots of
fruits and vegetables will be lost if
you wash them down with more
than two drinks of alcohol, re
searchers say.
In a study of 16,000 women
and 9,500 men who underwent a
medical screening for precancer-
ous polyps in the colon, re
searchers said they found that
people with high levels of folate, a
nutrient common in fruits and
vegetables, were much less likely
to have polyps.
The exception, said Dr. Edward
Giovannuci, was among heavy
drinkers. They were at increased
risk of the polyps despite a good
diet high in folate, he said Tuesday.
"We speculate that alcohol
may have an effect on folate me
tabolism," said Giovannuci, a re
searcher at Brigham and Women's
Hospital in Boston and the Har
vard Medical School.
A report on the study is to be
published Wednesday in the Jour
nal of the National Cancer Institute.
Giovannuci said the study used
people who had undergone med
ical tests that searched for the
presence of polyps. These polyps,
called colorectal adenomas, are as
sociated with the development of
colorectal cancer.
Some of the people who had
this medical test had polyps and
some did not. By examining the
dietary differences between the
group, Giovannuci said he and his
researchers were able to determine
a link to colon cancer and diet.
The researchers divided the
people into five groups depend
ing on their consumption of folate.
The study then compared the inci
dence of adenomas in the top 20
percent of folate consumers and
the bottom 20 percent.
Giovannuci said that among
women, the group with the high
est level of folate consumption
had a 34 percent lower incidence
of polyps when compared to
women with the lowest level of
folate consumption. For men,
there was a 37 percent lower inci
dence.
This changed when alcohol
was factored in, he said. Women
who drank more than 30 grams of
alcohol daily were at an 84 per
cent increased risk of having
polyps. Men were at a 64 percent
greater risk.
