School staffers
reprimanded
for strip search
The Associated Press
BROOKSHIRE - Royal school
district trustees have voted to
send letters of reprimand to two
staff members who conducted
strip searches of several high
school students.
About 20 female students at
Royal ifi-gh School were subjected
to the search last year after a
classmate said she was missing
$41. But Superintendent James A.
Kemp later said the search violat
ed school district policies.
Trustees voted Monday night
to send reprimand letters to As
sistant Principal Nathaniel
Richardson and school nurse
Cindy Stasny, who conducted the
searches. The board also voted to
send letters of apology to female
students who were searched.
Richardson, who searched the
boys, and Stasny, who searched
the girls, also will have to partici
pate in additional training semi
nars, Kemp said.
"From all the documentation 1
saw, the search went beyond
turning pockets out and looking
in handbags and socks," Kemp
said. "Even though the students
had all given permission, the staff
members exceeded the scope of
their authority."
The female students, ages 14 to
18, were strip-searched in private
one at a time. None of the missing
money was found.
Male students did not have to
remove their underwear for the
inspection, Kemp said. He main
tained that parental consent was
given prior to the searches, but
several parents have said they ei
ther were not contacted or never
told their children would have to
disrobe.

T he school board's punish
ments failed to quell many par
ents' protests.
"There should be a public
apology before the entire school
for this," said Rebecca Alexander.
"T hese girls will never be able to
forget the humiliation forced on
them."
Supporters of the two staff
members were equally dissatis
fied by the board's action. They
argued that Kemp and other high-
level administrators were trying
to dodge their share of the blame.
The Royal district covers most
of west and southwest Waller
County, about 60 miles west of
downtown Houston. Enrollment
is about 1,300, including about
400 at the high school.
JUST THE BEGINNING
Ripley's curator looks
for oddities, curiosities
The Associated Press
DALLAS - While it's difficult
lobe too weird for Ripley's Be
lieve It or Not!, some offerings are
simply too grotesque .for a family
amusement attraction.
A seller recently offered Rip
ley's curator John Turner the
work locker of mass-murderer Jef
frey Dahmer for several thousand
dollars. Turner declined.
Turner must track down and
acquire more than a thousand cu
riosities each year to fill the two to
three new museums and to fresh
en the 20 existing operations, in
cluding the Ripley's in Grand
Prairie.
The Dallas-area museum fea
tures a 250-year-old crown made
of a T ibetan monk's bones and an
8-foot model of the leaning Tower
of Pisa made by an arthritic Eng
lishman using 224,174 match-
sticks, among other oddities.
Wherever Turner goes, he's

Doe was placed on administra
tive leave the following month,
and was fired that May.
He sued the agency, saying his
firing denied him equal protection
and clue process. Doe said he could
not be blackmailed about his ho
mosexuality because his family
and friends knew he was gay.
The CIA said it fired Doe be
cause he intentionally hid his ho
mosexual activity for more than
five years although he knew it
was a security concern. His re

looking. He came up dry on his
Dallas visit last week. That's OK,
too.
By Turner's accounting, an
item must be able to generate
enough additional ticket sales
over a three-year period to pay for
itself. So a military paraphernalia
collection of Kaiser Wilhelm 11 —
worth every penny of its $750,000
asking price to a collector — was
impossible for Ripley's because
the economics didn't work.
Turner's most expensive pur
chase, a 22-foot fairground organ
found in an East German barn af
ter the Berlin Wall came down, is
headed for the Branson, Mo., mu
seum under construction. Tie paid
$70,000 to buy and restore the
grand musical instrument.
The pipe organ will share the
limelight with a 6-ton, 42-foot
wide ball of twine found recently
in Mountain Springs, Texas, billed
by Ripley's as the "heaviest thing
to cross the South since Elvis' 1977
comeback tour."
might make him susceptible to
threats to expose their identities,
the CIA contended.
A federal judge decided that
Doe was fired improperly. The
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Dis
trict of Columbia Circuit reversed,
saying there is no evidence the
CIA has a blanket policy against
employing homosexuals.
Doe was fired because of the
security concerns raised by his
specific conduct, the appeals court
said.
In the appeal rejected Tuesday,
Doe's lawyers said the CIA con
siders homosexuals greater secu
rity risks than heterosexuals, even
if the agency does not ban all gay
employees.

Haiti
Continued from Page 1
In the match between Haiti and
the international community,
"Haiti has just scored the first
goal," said the aide, speaking on
condition of anonymity.
Although U.S. officials say that
only a minority of Haitians op
pose Aristide's return, military-
supported violence lias hindered
the transition government in
stalled under the U.N. plan to re
store democracy.
The Harlan County, carrying
472 servicemen from the United
States and Canada, had floated
800 yards offshore since Monday,
when military-backed port au
thorities, in a direct challenge to
the U.N. mission, refused it a
berth.
