Stalking From page IB had written Moore a letter.

Moore is the first feminine role model in my 33 years of living, and shes doing life without parole for presidential plinking, the diary said. According to arrest affidavits, Butler purchased a pistol on Sept. 6, and on the day of Bushs campaign visit, she concealed the weapon in the waistband of her pants and went to Inverness business park to wait for the president. But when she found she would have to pass through a metal detector to enter the area where the president was to speak, Butler walked to a small hill and sat under some shade trees. The affidavits said Butler told authorities she moved the pistol to her right-front pocket and edged up to where Bushs motorcade would pass, but never had a chance to draw the weapon and fire at him.

She drove home and told her husband, I had a gun but couldnt do it, the arrest affidavit said. Her husband took her to the psychiatric hospital, where she was arrested. Authorities said Tuesday that a woman matching Butlers description attracted the attention of the Bush security detail. Arapahoe County Sheriff Pat Sullivan says he assigned a deputy to stay between the president and a woman sitting under some trees outside the secured area. I poked him in the chest to make sure he had a bulletproof vest on, Sullivan said.

Butler had served until July on a Jefferson County grand jury that investigated the unsolved murder of 10-year-old Jakeob McKnight and was remembered by the jurys foreman as perfectly normal. She didnt act any different than anybody else, said Dr. Guy McBride, retired president of Colorado School of Mines, the grand jury foreman. Video From page IB ability to solve problems via video. The college already offers interactive television for Mesa State College students with college courses originating from the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, Nyikos said.

Nyikos said the college hopes to install fiber optics lines, allowing the college to reach into more ru-ral western Colorado communities. What they were discussing was statewide usage of the system, Nyikos said. What I was hearing was how they could solve fractured efforts. The telecommunications network is a high priority for the commission this year, Mayer isaid. Mayer said the commission also hopes to support higher education and school district governing boards in accepting distance learning as an effective educational tool.

The telecommunications commission was formed to find ways to provide equitable access to learning opportunities by promoting the development of an interdependent, integrated, information-driven, statewide telecommunications network. The commission is developing that effort on the grassroots level, by interconnecting schools, colleges, universities and public libraries via electronics. If the Legislature approves funding for the system, the other five cities that would receive teleconference system are Fort Collins, Denver, Golden, Canon City and Otero, Tolman said. Tolman said that by the end of the century the telecommunications division hopes to have a videoaudio conference system set up in all major population centers in the state. The Colorado Department of Social Services and the Colorado Bureau of Investigations already are, considering installing similar systems in Grand Junction, Tolman said.

The Bells Are Talking Out Both Sides Of Their Receiver. The Bell telephone monopolies are telling Congress they will create thousands and thousands of jobs. All Congress has to do is allow them to enter into the electronic information services, telecommunications manufacturing and long-distance services industries. But the truth is, millions of jobs have already been created in these thriving and competitive industries without any help from the Bells. Now these jobs could be in jeopardy.

In 1984, when the seven regional Bell companies were created from the breakup of the courts wisely banned the Bells from entering certain industries. But in the past year and a half, a U.S. District Judge reluctantly reversed the ban on information services, the Senate has approved legislation allowing the manufacturing of equipment and the Bells are trying to enter long-distance services. If they bully their way into these industries, the Bells could abuse their position as monopolies and drive thousands of currently prosperous companies out of business. And that means lost jobs and higher prices something todays economy cannot afford.

Millions of Americans are depending on Congress to protect a competitive marketplace and support along with the Consumer Federation of America and more than 1 ,600 other consumer and business groups the Antitrust Reform Act of 1992 (HR 50) introduced by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jack Brooks. The Bells may claim they want to create more jobs, but the simple truth is that these monopolies have eliminated jobs. It takes a free and competitive marketplace to increase employment, fuel the economy and benefit the American consumer. Help protect American jobs. Help protect the American consumer.

Call or write today and urge your U.S. Representative to support HR 5096 the Brooks bill. Call 1-800-547-7482 to learn how you can help protect American jobs. Pubfahed by this newspaper on behalf of the Consumer Federation of Amend, the Newspaper Association of America, and more than 1 .600 other consumer organizations nd small and Urge buunewe, tha support the principle of the Brooks bill.
