Bits of evidence that are gradually emerging as investigators comb through the still-smoldering rubble suggest that many victims did not go willingly to their deaths, as previously thought. I am calling this mass murder. I reject the idea of mass suicide at the moment.

Thats pure cinema, said Bernard Geiger, police chief in one of the cantons where bodies were found. In Cheiry, many of the 23 dead found in the basement chapel of a burning farmhouse had been shot once through the head with a pistol. But investigators found only shotguns on the premises, no pistols, leading them to conclude the perpetrators vanished with the smoking gun. Meanwhile, there was no word on the whereabouts of 46-year -old Luc Jouret, a homeopathic doctor and leader of the Order of the Solar Temple, as the cult is known. I dont know where Mr.

Jouret is at the moment. I dont know if he is alive or dead, said an exasperated Andre Piller, a Swiss judge heading the investigation, under persistent questioning by reporters about the mysterious Jouret. Two people are being sought for questioning, and at least four others have already been detained by authorities, though not arrested. Piller said it was not clear whether they should be deemed witnesses or suspects. Swiss television reported last night that a frightened associate of Jourets had turned himself in to authorities in Geneva, asking that he be given police protection.

Investigators also revealed yesterday that the cult was having financial problems. It had recently placed its farmhouse-headquarters in Cheiry up for sale, and there was a dispute underway between cult leaders and members. Some Canadians who were among the victims reportedly believed they were attending a two-week seminar in the picturesque Swiss villages, a combination Alpine holiday and spiritual instruction. In Granges-sur-Salvan, about 100 miles south of Cheiry, where an additional 25 bodies were discovered, cult members suitcases were found packed, as though they were ready to return home earlier this week.

"We will be in the aisles, and we will have people on the field and elsewhere in the stadium watching.

Papke said its difficult to identify suspects when objects are thrown on the field. Thousands of Iowa students stand during games, making it easy for someone to crouch down, throw something and not be seen. "It's pretty tough determining exactly who the culprit is, he said. "Unless you can pinpoint who the culprit or suspect was, you can't go up there and say everybody is going to have to move, In addition to being evicted from the stadium, offenders can be charged with assault if somebody is Turn to 7A: Kinnick a marshmallow last year.

Not only that, but most people are having sex less often and in ways less kinky than experts had thought.

And theyre doing it believe it or not with their spouses. The hotbed of sex in America turns out to be the marriage bed. All this is according to a landmark study of the nation's sexual habits released Thursday by researchers at the University of Chicago and the State University of New York at Stony Brook. The study, billed as Americas most comprehensive survey of sexual behavior, debunks many popularly held notions of who is doing what wuth whom. Among other things, it found that married people have better sex and have it more often than single people who dont live with a boyfriend or girlfriend.

The most striking finding is how conventional American sex lives are, said co-author Robert Michael, dean of the universitys Harris School of Public Policy Studies. Unlike what were led to believe by watching movies and reading novels, most people have few partners and have rather infrequent sex. Forty-one percent of married couples surveyed reported having sex at least twice a week, hile 56 percent of unmarried couples who live together reported having sex tw ice a week or more. Only 23 percent of single people bills, but the station stayed on the air with generator power. Another order authorizing the eviction was filed Thursday.

I put a lot of time and energy in out there, but now its time to walk away, Tauke said. Its just too much hassle. He said Fitzgerald also put much effort into the business but didnt have the money to make it work. Tauke said Fitzgerald owes him about $100,000. Fitzgerald, who had operated KOCR since 1988, did not return phone calls last night.

He had been seeking to sell the station or find new investors. Cox Cable in Cedar Rapids and TCI in Iowa City had used KOCR for their Fox programming. Mike Horan, general manager at Cox, and Bill Blough, general manager at TCI, said the national feed is a temporary solution. The stations could opt to get transmissions from Fox affiliates Ottumwa or Davenport. Cox would resume service from KOCR if the station should return to operation, but Horan said he would hope for some assurances of stability first.

We dont want to go through this fire drill again, he said. By Douglas Neumann Gazette stall writer Fox-affiliate KOCR-TV (Channel 28) went off the air Thursday morning after an eviction that had appeared imminent for weeks. By midafternoon, cable television systems in Cedar Rapids and Iowa City had restored Fox programming via a national feed, but over-the-air television viewers may be without a Fox station for some time. Donald Tauke, owner of the 30-acre property and building from which KOCR-TV had been operating, said last night the property is for sale. He said he wont negotiate any more with station owner Jerry Fitzgerald.

That is totally out. It wouldnt work," Tauke said. He left open the possibility of negotiating with another party interested in running the station. Tauke and his w'lfe, Joan Nickol, initially sought to evict Fitzgerald in April but relented when the parties agreed on a short-term lease through June. The eviction was in progress Sept.

Days later, electricity to the station was cut off because of unpaid Researchers find numbers of homosexuals are lower, that women are not using abortion for contraception, and that AIDS is not likely to become an epidemic among heterosexuals, 2A not living with a partner reported being that active. Among married women, 75 percent reported they always or usually had an orgasm during sex, compared with 62 percent of single women and about 95 percent of all men. Researchers based their findings on 90-minute face-to face interviews conducted in 1992 with 3,432 people, ages 18 to 59. The $1.7 million study was paid for by eight private foundations after conservative senators killed federal funding in 1991.

It differs from most previous studies in that respondents were randomly selected, providing a broad view of the population. Results of the study are being published Monday in two books: Sex in America, hich is intended for general readership, and The Social Organization of Sexuality: Sexual Practices in the United States, which includes statistical analysis for academic readers. Researchers found that vaginal intercourse was by far the most popular form of sexual contact among heterosexuals, while watching a partner undress and having oral sex were distant contenders. Most married people reported being true to their spouse. Seventy five percent of married men and 85 percent of married women said they are faithful.

But Thursday, Goedken, a University of Northern Iowa nursing student from Monticel-lo, and her sister Susan Freese of Dubuque stood before a hushed campus audience and talked about the love and understanding needed by AIDS patients and their families. I shouldn't have to be scared talking about my father dying." Goedken said.
