Ramaley departs KU for Portland State by Melissa Bulgren Although Judith Ramaley left Friday, July 13, to assume the presidency of Portland State University, her programs and ideas will remain at the University of Kansas. During her three years as executive vice chancellor, Ramaley sought to improve KU by creating an environment in which research, teaching, and various programs are all related. Ramaley said she particularly was proud of her work on a campus-wide planning process, involving all levels of admini- stration in the development of University goals. The program created a sense of what the University of Kansas was all about, she said and that the process was designed to strengthen exist- ing programs and to provide criteria for the allocation of money. $4 trillion U.S. debt forecast for 1993 The federal government will be more than $4 trillion in debt by 1993. the Bush administration told astonished members of the House Ways and Means Committee Wednesday, July 11. Citing higher-than-expected costs of the savings and loan bailout, Treasury Undersecretary Robert Glauber said Congress soon would have to raise the debt limit from the current $3.12 tril- lion to $3.5 trillion, to allow enough borrowing to get through 1991. Driven by record peacetime deficits and high interest rates, the federal debt grew from $994 billion to $2.6 trillion during the Reagan years and has kept rising. At $3.5 trillion, the debt would amount to about $14,000 for every man, woman, and child, more than three times the amount owed 10 years ago. Roughly a quarter of the debt is held by the government itself, representing such items as money owed to the Social Security trust fund. World Cup soccer victory for Germany German fans chanted and sang and screamed their pleasure on July 8 when West Germany dethroned Argentina and won the World Cup. Deutschland ist Weltmeister (Germany is world champion), was the most prevalent scream among the fans packed within Rome ' s Olympic Stadium. Many Germans headed to central Rome to celebrate the victory that came after the frus- tration of losses in the previous two World Cup finals, to Italy in 1982 and Argentina in 1986. Associated Press Major counts against captain of the Exxon Valdez dismissed The Coast Guard dismissed charges of drunkenness and misconduct against Joseph Hazelwood after the former captain pleaded no contest Wednesday, July 25, to two lesser counts. Hazelwood entered the pleas to allegations that he violated Coast Guard policy by drinking liquor less than four hours before embarking on the Exxon Valdez and by leaving the vessel ' s bridge whiloe it was headed for jagged Bligh Reef. The 987-foot tanker ' s hull was ripped open when it plowed into the reef the night of March 24, 1989, spilling almost 11 millions of Alaska crude into Prince Wiliam Sound in the nation ' s worst oil spill. Doctor finds possible cause for Alzheimer ' s Researchers have found a genetic abnormality that could lead to the cause of the most common form of Alzheimer ' s disease, which afflicts about 4 million Americans. The discoverer of the new find- ing, Allen Roses of the Duke University School of Medicine in Durham, N.C., said that Alzheimer ' s disease appears to be linked to a genetic abnormality on chromosome 19, one of the 46 human chromosomes. Previous studies had found a defect on chromosome 21 linked to a rare, early-onset form of Alzheimer ' s disease which had been found in only 10 or 20 families in the world. 19

Earthquake in the Philipines A major earthquake jolted Manila and surrounding Luzon island on July 16, killing at least 193 people and leaving hundreds more trapped in collapsed buildings. Most of the victims in Baguio, about 50, were at the Hyatt Hotel. The entire front section of the Hyatt, the city ' s plushest hotel, col- lapsed. It appeared that floors containing guest rooms had crashed down onto the lobby, which includes the main restaurant, bar and shops. Aftershocks continued the following day, forcing many resi- dents to sleep on the streets after the quake, which measured 7.7 on the Richter scale. A 7.8 quake struck the Philipines in 1976, killing 8,000 people. Most died in a tidal wave that struck Mindaneo. The Associated Press Navratilova garners ninth title with straight-set victory On Saturday, July 7, on Wimbledon ' s Centre Court, there was no question. Martina Navratilova looking quick and strong and determined, demol- ished Zina Garrison 6-4, 6-1 and won her ninth Wimbledon singles title. The victory pulled Navratilova out of a tie with Helen Wills Moody for most Wimbledon singles championships, men ' s or women ' s varie- ty. Navratilova, 33, also became the oldest woman to win the coveted plate since Dorothea Lambert Chambers in 1914 at age 35. Iraq concentrating troops near border Iraq has moved nearly 30,000 elite army troops to its border with Kuwait and the Bush administration put U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf on alert as a dispute between the two nations over oil production quotas inten- sified, U.S. officials and Arab diplomats said Monday. Cash-strapped Iraq is angry because it contends Kuwait is exceeding the oil production levels agreed to by OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) members, driving down the price of crude oil. The Kuwaitis also have moved troops and Soviet made missiles to the border area and Monday reactivated a full military alert which had been called off last Friday, July 20. Officials said the United States and Arab governments were interpreting the Iraqi military buildup as an attempt to intimidate Kuwait, whose entire military barely exceeds 20,000. 18 Barr sings the national anthem It was crude, even lewd. But this time fans were spared seeing where she ' s tattooed. Still, many people said that Roseanne Barr was a disgrace for her shrill rendition of the na- tional anthem at a National League baseball dou- ble header and a crude on-field gesture afterward. They maintained the comedian who stars on the popular sitcom Roseanne did the best she could or may have become confused by the sound system ' s delay and resorted to shtick. Barr ' s behavior should not have come as a surprise. During a World Series game in Oakland last fall, Roseanne bared her derriere, revealing a tattoo declaring Tom - her husband, Tom Arnold. Barr was troubled by the criticism. She ' s very sorry. She ' s very upset that people think she meant disrespect. We weren ' t trying to disrespect that song at all, Arnold said. Randall, Smith make U.S. team Mark Randall of Kansas and Doug Smith of Missouri have made the team that will represent the United States in the Goodwill Games and the World Basketball Championships. The team consisting of 14 players will be coached by Mike Krzyzewski of Duke.

Iraqi troops invade Kuwait Minority enrollment up at KU Tank-led Iraqi troops invaded Kuwait before dawn today, August 2, and the Revolutionary Command Council of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein announced that the Kuwait govern- ment had been overthrown. Iraqi also warned that any foreign troops try- ing to interfere with its action would be at- tacked. Hussein ' s council in Baghdad issued a state- ment saying that Iraq was responding to a re- quest for an invasion fromthe revolutionary government in Kuwait. The statement said the troops were in Ku- wait to defend the revolution and the Kuwaiti people, with no further identification of the revolutionary government. The United States condemned the invasion August 1 , and called for anemergency meet- ing of the UN Security Council to deal with the situation. Marion Barry jury: no ver- dict on 12 of 14 counts The jury in the trial of Mayor Marion Barry convicted him of one misdemeanor count of drug possession, acquitted him of another misdemeanors drug count and failed to reach a verdict on the 12 remaining counts, includ- ing the most serious charges. The verdict ended a sensational trial that attracted national attention and transformed the political landscape of the city of Washing- ton. Many local residents were saddened by the eight weeks of testimony that portrayed the highest local official in the District of Co- lumbia as a drug user. The prosecutor, U.S. attorney Jay B. Stephens, would not say whether the govern- ment would seek a new trial on the remaining charges which were declared mistrials. The University of Kansas School of Medicine has more than tripled its enrollment of speific mi- norities in the last four years thanks to a federal program and private assistance. In 1 987, two black students began their medical education at the University of Kansas, said the associate dean for admissions at the school, Una Creditor. Today, August 9, seven black students are expected to enroll in the school. They are among 10 members of underrepre- sented minority groups beginning their medical education at KU this fall. She continued, it ' s not overwhelming in terms of numbers, but percen- tagewise it ' s a significant increase. Fires near age-old sequoias Lightening fires have burned more than 200,000 acres of California forest in the last week, and experts said August 12 it could get much, much worse, because of the lengthy drought. In Yosemite National Park, off limits to tourists since Friday, two fires had burned more than 1 5,000 acres. Flames were within two miles of the Merced Grove, a stand of giant sequoias, and within two miles of the Badger Pass ski area. Wisconsin helicopter crash kills blues guitarist Grammy-winning blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan was among five persons killed August 27 when their helicopter slammed into a hill in dense fog after leaving a concert.
