-World View_ International Hijacker apprehended in Brazil RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AP) — A hijacker who wanted a pilot to crash a jetliner carrying more than 100 people into a government building was wounded and captured after he shot four crew members, killing one, officials said. Security forces shot Raimundo Conccicao on Thursday night as he walked toward a getaway plane with the pilot of the pas senger jet, a Boeing 737 from Brazil's VASP airlines. Conccicao turned and shot the pilot, wounding him in the leg, officials said, describing the 28-year-old as a “psycho path." Conceicao was in critical condition late Thursday night, while the wounded pilot and flight engineer were in stable condition. A wounded steward was treated and released, offi cials said. Officials said Conccicao killed co-pilot, Salvador Evangelista, earlier. The VASP airlines Booing 737, with 98 passengers and seven crew members aboard, was on a routine flight from Porto Velho in the western Amazon jungle to Rio de Janeiro when the eight-hour ordeal began. No Americans were aboard, the Air Force Ministry said. National Civil rights suit settled TAMl’A, Fla.

Regional Couple charged for child abuse UMATILLA, Ore. (AP) — A Umatilla couple has been charged in connection with burns sustained by a 3-ycar-old boy, officials said. Umatilla County District Attorney Dave Gallaher said Thursday that Kenneth Ray Scott, 24, pleaded innocent in a morning hearing but remained in the county jail on charges of second- and third-degree assault, both felonies, and recklessly endangering the boy's life. Scott is accused of immersing the 3-year-old son of Patricia Rytting in scalding water. Rytting, 26, was cited and released Wednesday on a charge of first-degree criminal mistreatment. Gallaher said she is ac cused of withholding medical attention for the boy after he suffered burns on his feet, buttocks and leg in July. The boy was treated at the Emanuel Hospital burn center in Portland. Rytting is scheduled to appear in Pendleton Circuit Court on Oct. 11. A trial is scheduled Nov. 15 for Scott. The boy and his 7-year-old sister were removed from the home and are in foster homes, Gallaher said. WELCOME TO EUGENE! We invite you to attend the College Class at our church.

Phone: 484-1814 Casual forum bonds faculty/students University students will have the opportunity to meet with their instructors outside of a classroom or office setting this term. The program, called Faculty Firesides, encour ages faculty members to volunteer time outside of normal class and office hours for informal talks with their students. The University Foundation provides up to $30 as a reimbursement for refresh ments at such gatherings. According to Anne Leavitt, acting director for the office of student development, the type of party varies. "Sometimes faculty just have a few students at their homes, and sometimes departments have a department-wide party." Leavitt said. Leavitt said the program has been successful since it began in 1981. 'It's grown every year from 44 faculty and 1,300 students participating the first year and 101 faculty and over 3,000 students last year." she said. Leavitt said that $3,500 has been allocated for the program this year, and she expects the it to do as well or better than it did last year. "I would hope to have at least 3,000 students participate again this year." she said. English professor Richard Stein said he has en joyed participating in Faculty Firesides in the past, and plans to do it again this year. "1 think it helps students and faculty understand each other as peo ple." Stein said. In order to reserve funds, interested faculty should call Anne Leavitt at 686-3216.
