Dahmer has admitted to killing and dismembering 17 males since 1978, including two 14-year-old boys in the Milwaukee area and a hitchhiker 13 years ago near his boyhood home in Bath, Ohio, police said. Most of the victims were homosexual men he lured back to his Associated Press Jeffrey Dahmer, who has admitted to killing 17 people, was transferred Tuesday from the Milwaukee County Jail to a state prison after his probation in a 1988 child molestation case was revoked. Dahmer must serve the remainder of his five-year sentence in the child molestation case at the Columbia Correctional Institution in Portage, about 110 miles' northwest of Milwaukee, said Michael Sullivan, deputy secretary of the state Department of Corrections. apartment to take photos and watch videos, police said.

Dahmer is scheduled to enter pleas Sept. 10 in Milwaukee County Circuit Court. At the time of his arrest, Dahmer was on probation after being convicted in 1989 of sexually assaulting a Laotian boy by offering him $50 to pose nude for photos in 1988. Dahmer served 10 months of a five-year sentence before being released from the House of Corrections in Milwaukee. Among the 11 bodies police found in Dahmer's apartment was Konerak Sinthasomphone, 14, a brother of the boy Dahmer was convicted of sexually assaulting in Sullivan said Dahmer's arrest and murder charges were a violation of his probation that called for a hearing to revoke his probation.

Dahmer waived that hearing, in essence allowing the state to immediately revoke his probation, Sullivan said. He must now complete the remainder of his five-year sentence in a state prison for the sexual assault of the boy, Sullivan said.

They weren't in Beloit, where a 14-year-old boy was found delinquent on 18 counts of sexual assault and unlawful sexual touching of girls in his seventh- and eighth-grade classes. Rock County Circuit Judge James Welker was so outraged with school administrators who allowed this "reign of terror" that he lambasted them at the juvenile court sentencing hearing recently and ordered a transcript of his remarks sent to the superintendent of schools to show "how clearly the school has failed in this case." In Madison, students, parents, police officers, teachers and other school staff contacted say they can't believe anything that severe would be allowed to continue that long here.

JACKSON III flow down Bascom Hill over the Park' 1 Apparently there is someone out there who already wants to do it. Dobrowolski came back from vacation to find a message on his answering machine from an engineer who is willing to do a study of Channel 54's signal strength. He suspects it is someone from TCI, eager to prove Channel 54 is a bonafide station. TCI officials aren't talking to the press on the matter these days. According to Dobrowolskl's grade contour maps, Channel, 54's signal covers Madison, a well as parts of Monona and Mid dleton.

But Channel 54 is beamed from a low tower downtown "only a few hundred feet," he said which is why some homes ap parently can't get it. Channel 54 is only a watt (UHF) station, Dobrowolsk( said, whereas the other local sta- tions are up to 2 million watts (UHF) and are beamed from the! sky-high towers on Madison's far; West Side. Even Channel 3, which is a VHF station, has about watts. Channel 3, being a low-band) channel, can go a lot farther onj less power than Channel 54. "And those signals will bend aj little bit," he said, so people be hind hills can pick it up.

The Channel 54 Video Jukebox" is a franchise of a Miami-based, company that provides currenj music videos. Dobrowolski's sta tion has up to 5,000 laser-disc" videos at the station, of which 300, to 400 can be programmed into the machine at a time.

"The Russian state, which has chosen democracy and freedom, will never be an empire or big or little brother," he declared. As the republics move toward independence, some world leaders have worried about control over the Soviet nuclear arsenal.

Yeltsin, in an interview with CNN, offered assurances that Russia was moving to secure them. He said nuclear weapons are being moved from the Ukraine to his republic and that Kazakhstan is planning to do the same with its weapons. The silo-based SS-18s in that republic are to be destroyed under the latest U.S.-Soviet arms treaty.

Approve changes, Soviets warned By Brian Friedman Associated Press MOSCOW Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin on Tuesday urged lawmakers to approve sweeping changes in the Soviet government, and Gorbachev warned Congress that it might cease to exist if it failed to accept radical change. Meanwhile, Yeltsin called for an end to underground nuclear tests and sought to reassure the world that Soviet nuclear weapons would all be moved inside the huge borders of his Russian republic, controlled centrally and kept from the hands of "hawks" and "terrorists." Gorbachev, seeking to sweep away hard-line opponents of reform, seemed intent on getting rid of the Communist-dominated Congress as part of his plan to reshape the country and its governmental structures.

The Soviet president, Yeltsin and the leaders of nine other republics on Monday had put before the Congress of People's Deputies a broad proposal to strip the Kremlin of most powers and transfer them to the republics, while first concentrating power in a State Council made up of the Soviet president and leaders of the republics. Emerging from the second day of the three-day session, Gorbachev issued a stern warning, telling reporters that if lawmakers didn't approve his proposal, then "the people will reject this Con- 'Some departments have seen a polarization between people who are still good bunny rabbits jumping up and down excited about the latest new student, and those who have given David Ward UW-Madison vice chancellor commenting on faculty morale in Milwaukee Magazine article.

Creation of a State Council including to decide internal and gress.

The Congress will have exhausted its usefulness." But Gorbachev also gave a sop to the lawmakers, withdrawing a proposal for a new, smaller legislature with 20 representatives from each republic which would have given the six predominantly Muslim republics more representatives than Russia, Byelorussia and the Ukraine. Instead, he suggested reforming the Supreme Soviet the 542-member standing legislature elected by the Congress from its membership. A few hours before Gorbachev addressed the Congress, Yeltsin took the podium to harshly criticize the Soviet president for failing to foresee the coup attempt last month. Yeltsin also pledged the Russian republic would be an "equal among equals." By Nathan Seppa Business reporter The owner of Channel 54, the Video Jukebox, has spoken. And it doesn't bother him if people say his station isn't a station.

Under rules set down by the Federal Communications Commission, Madison qualifies as a community that can regulate cable TV rates, providing it has only five broadcast stations. Low-power Channel 54 would give Madison a sixth, and let off the hook the controversial TCI Cablevision, Madison's cable supplier. Dan Dobrowolski, a Chicago television personality who goes by the TV name of Dan George, owns Channel 54. It's a UHF station based in Madison that operates as a pay-TV channel for people who want to make a $2.50 phone call to see a music video on their TV. When Dobrowolski learned that the question of whether TCI may be regulated in Madison hinged on Channel 54's status, his reaction was swift and sure.

"If they call, I'll tell them my signal only carries a foot," he said. "I'll call Mayor Soglin. I'll tell the City of Madison we'll do what's necessary to make sure there are some parts of Madison" that aren't reached by the signal. Seriously, though, Dobrowolski believes some people in Madison behind hills and other obstructions might not receive the signal. So if a regulator somewhere wants to rule that Channel 54 isn't a station for these purposes, it's fine with him.

He has no use for TCI. But Dobrowolski really doesn't know how to prove whether Channel 54 is a station or not. In any case, it's not his problem. If Madison wants to regulate cable, it will have to do its own homework. ET73S.J Superior MADISON V.
