CIA chief denies knowledge of profit diversion
WASHINGTON CIA Director William Casey, in five
hours of secret, sworn congressional testimony, denied
Wednesday that he knew the profits from U.S. arms sales to
Iran were being transferred to Nicaraguan Contra rebels,
lawmakers reported.
Rep. William S. Broomfield of Michigan, the senior
Republican on the committee, said, "The good news is that
Mr. Casey was pretty candid with us and none of what he
had to say in any way indicates that the president knew or
should have known of any wrongdoing.
'The bad news is that what Mr. Casey told us indicates
serious errors of judgment by senior CIA personnel," Broom
field added.
Vice Adm. John Poindexter, President Reagan's former
national security adviser, met for only about 10 minutes
behind closed doors with the House Intelligence Commit
tee. Previously, Poindexter has cited his Fifth Amendment
right against self-incrimination in refusing to testify before
the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Intel
ligence Committee.
Several members of the Foreign Affairs Committee said
Casey told that panel he had no direct knowledge of the
Iran-Contra connection until it was revealed by Attorney
General Edwin Meese III.
The New York Times, citing three government officials it
did not identify, reported in Wednesday editions that Casey
learned of the diversion of money to the Contras a month
before it was uncovered in a Justice Department investiga
tion Meese ordered. '
Rep. Peter Kostmayer, D-Pa., said Casey testified that the
CIA had acted as "a facilitator" for the arms sales to Iran at
the request of Lt. Col. Oliver North, fired last month as a top :
aide at the National Security Council.
North, who worked for Poindexter at the NSC, has
invoked his Fifth Amendment rights in declining to answer
questions from congressional committees.
Omaha student aces SAT
OMAHA A Burke High School student has achieved a rare perfect
score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test.
Greg Stutheit, 18, scored an 800 on the verbal section of the test and an
800 on the mathematics section, giving him a total of 1600.
Denis Kelly, a spokesman for the Educational Testing Service in
Princeton, N J., the company that administers the SAT, said his office
knows of only five perfect scores this year.
Stutheit says he hopes to study chemistry or chemical engineering in
college, and he'd prefer to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technol
ogy, Rice University or the University of Texas.
Kearney State considers name change
KEARNEY The State College Board of Trustees will vote Thursday on
a proposal to change the name of Kearney State College, the board
chairman said.
Tom Morrissey of Tekamah said the board received from its personnel
and policy subcommittee the proposal outlining a name change to
"Nebraska State University-Kearney." The subcommittee took no position
on the proposal.
College President William Nester said Tuesday he will not reveal in
advance what he plans to recommend to the board.
Morrissey, who opposes changing the school's name, said Nester sup
ports the change. Morrissey said he and the president met and discusses
the situation.

OSLO, Norway Holocaust survivor Elie Wie
sel, an American writer and human rights advo

nesday and said the honor belonged to all
survivors of the Nazi death camps and their
children.
Norwegian Nobel Committee Chairman Egil

Hall attended by 800 people, including King Olaf
Vand government leaders. The prize also includes

The award was "in recognition of this particu

rebellion against evil in the world, ..." Aarvik
said.
The Nobel prizes for physics, chemistry, med
icine, economics and literature were presented

In an emotional acceptance speech, the 58-year-old

LEXINGTON, Ky. - A heavily armed
former University of Kentucky employee
in a black martial arts costume was
captured by police Wednesday, 1 1 hours
after he began firing random rifle shots
from the window of a campus building.
Two men were wounded during the
standoff.
The university identified the man as
Ulysses S. Davis III, 25, an employee on
the utility crew at the Peterson Servi
ces Bulding until he was fired in July
for fighting.
Police Sgt. Greg Howard said offic
ers captured Davis by turning a water
blast from a fire hose on him. "It
pushed him against the wall and that
made it easy to take him into custody,"
he said.
Police had negotiated with the gun
man to surrender after the siege began
about 6 a.m.
Davis made no demands and did not
ask to talk to anyone as he sat in a
storage-like room with four weapons,
Howard said.
Davis had wanted to air some grie
vances about the university, Howard
said, refusing to go into detail.
Howard said Davis had been sitting
in a chair, holding one firearm with
several others nearby and wore a "Ninja
like outfit, all black." The Ninja were
practioners of a 9th-century Japanese
warrior tradition.
Shots began about 15 minutes after
Davis entered the building.
There was an initial exchange of fire
with university police but after that it
was "all one-sided shooting," said Pa
trolman Tom Baum. "When he wanted
to fire he would raise the shades up."
By the time the shooting stopped
more than an hour later, at least 20 and
perhaps as many as 50 shots had been
fired, police said.

NEW YORK The 24 people who
took shortcuts in last month's New
York City marathon probably didn't
think about the video cameras record
ing the race.
They were caught, and officials from
the three biggest marathons said Wed
nesday that cameras and vigilance are
increasingly needed to combat the
cheaters.
It was the disqualification of John
Bell, winner of the Master Division for
runners over 40, that led New York race
officials to review their videotape from
the race and disqualify 23 other runners.
Officials estimate that the 44-year-old
Bell, of Marion, Ind., took a 10-mile
shortcut for his time of 2:25:15.
Three of the 24 runners were among
the top 100 finishers. Bell was the 69th
runner to cross the finish line out of
19,689 people who finished the 26.2
mile race on Nov. 2.
The Master Division winner gets
$3,000 and a trophy. The check was
never issued, and marathon officials
want the trophy back.
Bell, president of his own company,
was not returning calls from reporters,
said Bettie Hurt, a secretary at the
company.
It was Bob Glover, a fitness coach
and author of "The Runner's Hand
book," who originally raised questions
about Bell's time. He had been giving
Bell training advice for seven years, he
said.
When Glover heard Bell won the
Master Division, he, asked marathon
officials to check their videotapes,
which were recorded by cameras along
the route. Bell and the others hadn't
passed some checkpoints, and race
director Fred Lebow announced the
disqualifications Tuesday.
