26 Student Life oul Singer Shot, Kill d Soul singer Marvin Gaye was shot and killed by his min- ister father during an insurance dispute in Los Angeles in April. Gaye was one day away from his 45th birthday. The two quarreled past mid- night over a missing insurance letter until the conflict escalated into yelling and shoving. The next day the argument began again and, finally, Marvin Gaye Sr. shot his son twice in the chest with a .38 rifle. The singer died at California Hospital April 2 at 1:01 pm. According to officials, Gaye's heart was stopped when he ar- rived at the emergency room and doctors were unsuccessful at re- suscitation. Ironically, Gaye began his singing career in his father's church at the age of three and, utilizing a gospel background, he signed his first professional con- tract in 1962 with Motown Re- cords. Gaye's early hit How sweet it is to be loved by you, and I heard it through the grapevine, helped boost Mo- town Records to the top of the charts. Gaye had his first num- ber one hit in 1963 with the song Pride and Joy, but more recently Gaye was known for his 1982 comeback single, Sexual Healing, which won two Grammy awards. The elder Gaye was taken into custody following the shooting and was declared mentally com- petent to stand trial for murder, despite undergoing surgery to re- move a brain tumor in the month following the incident.

The quake did its most dam- age in the Morgan Hill area where many businesses and fam- ily homes were damaged or de- stroyed. The damage of the earthquake was estimated at eight million dollars. The entire Santa Clara County was declared in a state of emergency by the Governor George Deukmejian. And for Santa Clara students, it was a scary event, and for some the first strong earthquake they had felt. Shari Gholson Junior psychology' major News
