JAYHAWKER NEWS! October 1989 EARTHQ AKE RoCKs ORTH CAL1FoR An earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale rumbled through northern California at 5:04 p.m. Oct. 17, killing hundreds of people and injuring thousands more. Physical damage was estimated at S1 billion. Gas lines were shattered in many cities, and fires started up, burning in many cases for days. The library at the University of California-Berkeley burned slowly through the night. Part of the upper deck of the Bay Bridge collapsed onto the lower deck, pinning two cars and narrowly missing pinning a school bus. At least 250 people were killed when part of Interstate 880 in Oakland, also known as the Nimitz Freeway, buckled and collapsed. Water, electricity, communications and transporta- tion were knocked out in San Francisco, the nation's fourth largest metropolitan area. Telephones in many cities still worked, however, and operators were swamped with 20 million calls in and out of the area Tuesday night. The next day, seven counties were declared disas- ter areas. They were Alameda, Contra Costa, Mon- terey, San Benito, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, and Santa Clara. Oakland is in Alameda County, and San Francisco is in San Mateo County.

Noriega coup fails Dissident officers tried to overthrow Panamanian Manuel Noriega Oct. 3, but troops loyal to Noriega rescued Noriega and put down a possible revolt. lt was the second coup attempt in 18th months. The rebels had seized a central military headquar- ters and, for a time, the national radio and television stations, and the rebels held Noriega for two to hours. Reports all day had alleged that Noriega had been injured or eve killed. But the strongman appeared on state-run television at the end of the day and an- nounced that he had crushed the coup and that he stresses European TV The European Community on Oct. 3 adopted a compromise plan urging European television stations to air mostly shows made in Europe. The vote was 10-2, and Belgium and Denmark vote no. The United States Government and the American film industry had lobbied intensely against the measure, labelling it pr otectionism. France, the host country for the negotiations and the most ardent supporter of the measure, had demanded mandatory quotas requiring that Europena-made shows make up 60 per- cent of the air time. However, the compromise did not specify a percentage figure. The regulations are not legally binding. 28 was still in control of the government.

Community huttle Atlanti launche Jupiter-bound Galileo Mission to photograph planet, moons, atmosphere Space shuttle Atlantis blasted off Oct. 18, carrying with it Galileo, a satellite system that will eventually reveal much about Jupiter. Atlantis lifted off at 12:54 p.m. EDT, four minutes late. On the fifth orbit, it launched Galileo on a six- year, 2.5 billion-mile trek. The 745-pound probe will make 10 close ap- proaches to Jupiter's four largest moons, lo, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, before descending into the dense hydrogen atmosphere ofthe planet itself. Scientists expect pictures of the four Galilean moons to be as much as 1,000 times as deatiled as the pictures taken by the Voyager spacecraft. Be- cause the launch is a few years behind schedule, the planets are not properly aligned to accommodate the original trajectory. Galileo will head toward Venus, then swing back around Earth in order to pick up the needed momentum to travel to Jupiter. I Softball parlinll games, l andspll losing 1.
