NewsBeat May 22, 1990 2 World Korean radicals vow more protests SEOUL, South Korea (AP) Hundreds of radical students yelling "Drive out Yankees!" clashed with police today at two universities in the southern city of Kwangju. Police in Kwangju also fired tear gas to disperse dozens of students who burned a U.S. flag. In Seoul, radicals vowed to stage a week of anti-American protests, and eight militant students were arrested after unfurling an anti-American banner in front of the U.S. Embassy.

In another development, union workers at Hyundai Motor Co. rejected a proposed new labor contract today, dashing hopes for a quick end to a 7-day-old strike at South Korea's largest automaker. Nation Tailor-made antibodies reverse skin cancer WASHINGTON (AP) Tailor-made antibodies can dramatically reverse spreading melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, when injected directly into the tumors, researchers say. The work, though still in its preliminary stages, suggests that it may be possible to stop the disease by harnessing the body's own built-in defenses. Antibodies are among the body's principal weapons for fighting off a variety of foreign invaders, including cancer.

In this case, scientists crafted human antibodies in the test tube that were specifically targeted against the cancer. Then they injected them into cancerous growths on victims' skm. "The lesions dry up and regress," said Dr. Donald Morton, director of the John Wayne Surgical Oncology Clinic at the University of California, Los Angeles. State Legal Services doesn't act on TRLA fund cut WASHINGTON (AP) The Legal Services Corp.

board has refused to overrule an administrator's decision to cut $150,000 from Texas Rural Legal Aid's 1990 funding. The first deduction in TRLA's 1990 grant of $4.4 million will occur next month unless some other action is taken by the Weslaco-based law firm, Legal Services spokesman Ken Boehm said. Legal Services president Ter- rance Wear last week said he was cutting the funds because TRLA pve imprudent" assistance to the Veterans Peace Convoy in 1988. The board did not act Monday on TRLA executive director David Hall's appeal to restore the cut funds. The only board member from Texas, Blakeley Hall of Rockwall, suggested that only $20,000 be cut Rom TRLA.

Her motion was rejected and the board took no further action, Boehm said. David Hall said last week he would argue for an independent review of Wear's decision. Such a review was the main topic of Monday's board discussion, Boehm said.

JUSTICE 1845 Water Kerrville 257-7930 Clements vetoes school reform bill AUSTIN (AP) Gov. Bill Clements today vetoed the Legislature's school finance reform bill, an act some lawmakers said raised the possibility that a court-appointed special master might wind up overhauling the system of state aid for public schools.

Clements, a Republican, said he vetoed the bill because the Democratic-controlled Legislature wanted to raise the 6 percent state sales tax by one-half cent to help pay its $555 million first-year cost. "They insist on raising the sales tax when other options exist," Clements said. Clements said that during negotiations he bent his no-new-taxes pledge to consider so-called sin taxes such as levies on alcohol and cigarettes but he blamed lawmakers for demanding a sales tax increase. "Clearly, it is unnecessary to raise our state sales tax to the second-highest in America when alternatives exist to do the job," the governor said. (Continued from Pace 1) Graham) was not really aware of this in Kerrville.

We wiU not tolerate anything like this." The Dairy Queen cited is among 1,950 employers found by the Labor Department to have violated child labor laws during its nationwide investigation into employment practices in March. Two other Kerrville restaurants were cited earlier this month for similar infractions. As a ref ult of its "strike force," the department claims to have found 11,783 teenagers working more than 18 hours each during the school week, 1,850 teenagers between the ages of 14 and 17 illegally employed in hazardous jobs, and nearly 450 youths under the age 14 illegally employed. lite department expects the fines, from the investigations, nearly half of which are pending, to total $4.5 million. Compliance officers can waive fines for inadvertent violations of the law, and employers who are fined can seek to have their citations repealed.

Day (Continued from Page 1) was (4 feet by 32 feet), it wasn't big enough, and it got a little crowded and muddy by the end of the day. "We need to have an Earth Mural monitor if we do this again," Koenig said. Then came the slides of the winning posters in the elementary school Earth Day poster contest. "There were so many good posters," Koenig said. "But we have to talk about this.

This thing almost got out of hand." The problem again was the numbers. The posters were done on 2,400 grocery bags donated by H.E.B. Grocery Store. It seems almost all of them were returned. Too much art, not enough art judges.

"It created a lot of work," Koenig said. That was the theme of the entire critique: the recycling program run by Browning-Ferris Industries was a success, taking in 130 pounds of aluminum, 5,860 pounds of newsprint, and 1.840 pounds of glass, among other things and bringing in almost $80 for the coalition. But there weren't enough volunteers, putting an unexpected load on BFI. The attendance give-away was a success, but it, too, got out of hand. As the day wore on, more and more donors came forward with prizes to give away more prizes, in fact, that could easily be given away.

"There were lots of people who went home with stuff." Koenig said.
