Rio de Janeiro residents blame police for mass killings
The Associated Press
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — Dozens of hooded
gunmen stormed a Rio slum Monday, killing at least
20 people and setting fires. Residents blamed police
for the deaths, which followed mass killings of street
kids and jungle Indians.
"It was a massacre. Women and children were
machine-gunned," Col. Abilio Earia, a spokesman
for the Rio de Janeiro state police. He said up to 24
people may have been killed.
He said it was too early to tell who was responsi
ble for the shootings.
But many residents said the killings were in retali
ation for the murder of four police in the same area
Saturday. The murders were blamed on drug traf
fickers in the shantytown.
Witnesses said dozens of hooded men invaded
the Vigario Geral slum around midnight. They set
fire to vendors' stands and burst into homes, shoot
ing randomly.
"We were sleeping in bed and heard a noise of
somebody trying the door," recalled Angela dos San
tos Ferreira, 41, whose husband was killed.
"My husband went to see, and I heard the shots.
I've been hearing them ever since. I found him on the
floor, his body covered with blood."
Bodies lay in the street Monday morning as resi-
•dents blocked the slum's main street with tires and
tree branches to protest the killings.
Police cars that tried to pass the barriers were
pelted with stones and forced to retreat.
The president of the Vigario Geral residents' asso
ciation, Nivaldo Ferreira de Souza, accused police of
the massacre, saying it was apparently in retaliation
for the murder of four colleagues in a Saturday night
ambush.
A drug trafficking gang based in the shantytown
was tielieved to have ordered Saturday's killings,
Faria said the traffickers might have been responsi
ble Monday's massacre too.
President Itamar Franco gave the case high priori
ty by ordering Justice Minister Mauricio Correa to
follow the investigation.
Health Tips
Your handy guide to Beutel Health Center
By Dr. Jane W. Cohen
A.P. Beutel Health Center
With the fall semester begin
ning, everyone is meeting new
people and getting into a new
routine for the year. With all
the excitement and rushing
around, remember to take care
of your health. If you eat nutri
tious meals, take part in regular
physical activity, get plenty of
rest, and control your stress,
you will be on your way to a
successful semester. However,
if you do happen to get ill, the
Health Center has some helpful
tips so you can receive the care
you need.
First, if you are ill, call the
Health Center to make an ap
pointment. The Health Center
hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Ar
rive 20 minutes before your ap-
piointment to ensure that you
see your physician at your
scheduled time. If you do not
have an appointment, you may
have a longer wait to see the
physician.
Every student slTould have a
Medical History Form on file at
the Health Center. If you are a
new student or a transfer stu
dent and have not turned in a
form, you should do so as soon
as possible. Stop by the Health
Center if you need an addition
al form.
Next, you should prepare
for your examination. You
and your physician are part
ners in your health care. Your
physician depends on you, as
the patient, for the basic infor
mation about your health.
Be sure to provide accurate
information about your health
history. Writing down the facts
ahead of time, when possible,
will prepare you to make better
use of the time you spend with
your physician.
During your examination,
do not be afraid to mention all
your symptoms, and do not
hesitate to ask your physician
questions about the examina
tion or diagnosis. The physi
cian will be able to make an ac
curate diagnosis with your
help. Additional X-rays, labo
ratory tests, or consultations
may be advised.
Also during your examina
tion, your physician will check
to see if your immunization re
quirements are up-to-date.
Texas A&M immunization re
quirements are:
1. Tetanus (within last 10
years)
2. Diphtheria (within last 10
years)
3. Polio series (not required
if 18 or older)
4. Measles (two doses)
5. Mumps (at least one dose)
6. Rubella (at least one dose)
7. Mantoux tuberculosis (TB)
skin test (required for students
from out
side the Continental U.S., ex
cept Canadians)
All of these immunizations
are available at the Health Cen
ter. If you do not comply with
these immunization require
ments, you will be blocked
from registering for classes.
Finally, and most impor
tantly, follow your physician's
instructions. Your recovery
rate also depends on how you
take care of yourself after you
have visited the physician.
Take all medication pre
scribed. Have any follow up
tests performed, and call the
physician if you have any ad
ditional questions about your
treatment.
Your health is important to
not only your physical well-be
ing, but your emotional, spiri
tual, mental, and especially in
tellectual well-being. Taking
care of yourself is a positive
step towards your academic
success.
The Health Education Center
at the A.P. Beutel Health Center
offers a variety of programs on
health topics and maintains a
resource Hie 'of health informa
tion in many areas of health.
Tours of tlTP'TIealth Center are
also available. Please calla
