S. African clash
leaves 25 dead
JOHANNESBURG,
South Africa ? At least 25
people died Tuesday in black
faction fighting, and African
National Congress leader
Nelson Mandela said the
government's failure to halt
the carnage put the peace
process "in distress."
Mandela led an ANC delegation
that met with President
F. W. de Klerk to discuss
violence that has
plagued black townships
near Johannesburg since
Aug. 12, claiming more than
650 lives.
"The government came
under heavy attack (during
the meeting) for its failure to
take visible measures to deal
with the situation," Mandela
said, adding that he accused
the government of waging
war against the ANC.
Rapists receive
maximum sentence
NEW YORK ? Three
teenagers convicted of raping
and assaulting a woman jogging
in Central Park received
maximum prison sentences
of five to 10 years.
In issuing the sentences,
Judge Thomas Galligan said
that on the night the jogger
was attacked, "Central Park
was turned into a torture
chamber by mindless marauders
seeking a thrill."
Although the youths were
tried as adults because of the
COriAltcriann ? C . I /.Uo./rafi
owivruaii^as U1 U1C ClliUgt/S,
Galligan had to sentence
them as juveniles because
they were under 16 when the
jogger was attacked on April
19, 1989. An adult would
have faced up to eight-andone-third
to 25 years in
prison.
California judge
upholds gun ban
FRESNO, Calif. ? In a
case closely watched by both
gun-control advocates and
opponents, a federal judge
dismissed a challenge by the
National Rifle Association
on California's ban on automatic
weapons.
U.S. District Judge Edward
Dean Price said Monday
that the Second Amendment,
which gives citizens
the right to bear arms, does
not apply to laws passed by
state governments, as the
NRA contended in their
case.
Anderson coroner
claims frame-up
ANDERSON ? A coroner
acquitted of driving
under the influence in a trial
that was marked by allegations
of a setup says he may
run for sheriff in 1992.
Throughout the 94-hour
trial, Anderson County Coroner
Wilton Mackey's attorney
maintained that Mackey
was a victim of a political
vendetta by Sheriff Gene
Taylor.
Mackey, a Democrat who
has been coroner for 18
years, said he is considering
the sheriff's race in 1992.
Taylor, a Republican and
former television reporter
elected in 1988, has not said
if he will seek another term.

^ Criminal justice students are trv
ing to end the cycle of poverty before
it starts, under a program
started by a USC professor.
Assistant criminal justice professor
LaVeta Small and about 50 of
her students, have volunteered
their time at Hendley Home, a
public housing complex on Rosewood
Drive. Small said their goal is
to get the residents involved in the
community and reduce area crime
and drug problems.
"We're trying to empower the
residents of Hendley Homes with a
sense of self-confidence, not neglect,"
Small said.
The students also tutor and organize
recreational and community
activities for the residents, as they
did last March with a voter registration
drive.
"This is beneficial not only for
the community but also for stunecock
dents. It challenges their biases
