Mohawks to flee
TORONTO ? Some Mohawks
fled their reservations
after Quebec's premier ordered
the army to tear down
road and bridge barricades
that Indians built in a sevenweek-old
armed standoff
with authorities born of a
land dispute.
Premier Robert Bourassa
also told reporters he was
breaking off talks with the
Mohawks and accused them
of not negotiating in good
faith.
"We Quebecers and Canadians
cannot tolerate groups
of citizens living in Quebec
choosing which laws they
want to respect and which
they want to ignore," the
premier said.
Earth heats up,
scientists alarmed
SUNDSVALL, Sweden
? The Earth is heating up i
faster than previously documented
and it is imperative 1
that nations agree to reduce
gases responsible for global i
warming, say scientists at a ]
conference on climactic i
change.
The conclusion that the :
Earth is heating by one-third ]
of a degree Celsius each de- i
cade is among the conclu- ]
sions of a draft document being
debated at the four-day <
conference. 1
About 300 government officials,
lawyers and scientists ]
from 70 countries are hoping 1
to adopt a final report that
would be a basis for United I
Nations action on fighting ;
the "greenhouse effect."
State schools fail, 1
rank last on SAT's ,
WASHINGTON ? <
South Carolina and four <
other states flunked a test of
educational performance in a
state-by-state report card re- '*
leased Tuesday by a parents'
group.
Connecticut and Wyoming ]
were the only states to re- '
ceive an "A," while South
Carolina, Hawaii, Texas, 1
Georgia, Tennessee and
Louisiana got an "F."
South Carolina's poor '
showing on the report card
follows Monday's release of
SAT scores with the state
ranking last.
The American Association
of Parents and Children prepared
the report card after an
earlier study found nine out
of 10 teachers think parents
don't care about education.
Closed-circuit TV
to aid in hearings
SPARTANBURG ?
Prompted by instances where
some magistrates have failed
to fully inform people of
their rights, Spartanburg
County will begin conducting
bond hearings on closedcircuit
television.
Edward Overcash, the
county's chief magistrate,
will start the state precedentsetting
electronic arraignment
procedure next week.

More than 450 parking spaces have been
designated for commuter students, and
another 100 spaces could be added, according
to university officials.
Several lots that were reserved for oncampus
students this past year have been
switched to commuting student lots.
The new commuter lots are the lot at the
corner of Pickens and Senate streets near
the B.A. building, the lot next to the campus
