Japan to give $9 billion to war

TOKYO (AP)-Prime Minister Toshiki Kaifu announced Thursday that Japan will give S9 billion in aid to the allied forces in the Persian Gulf.

Kaifu informed President Bush of Japan's decision by phone. Bush thanked Kaifu on behalf of the allied nations for a "very, very important" contribution, according to a Japanese transcript of the conversation.

Japan, which imports 70 percent of its oil from the Middle East, has been under increasing U.S. pressure to provide additional aid to the war effort. It also faces opposition from Japanese opposed to the war or to paying higher taxes to finance the contribution.

In a speech to the governing Liberal Democratic Party, Kaifu said the aid would be an additional burden on taxpayers but said "the shouldering of part of the cost of the multinational forces is a pain Japan has to share with the world*"

Japan decided on a $9 billion contribution during negotiations with the United States, a senior government official said. It is based on estimates of a 3-month war costing a total of $45 billion, or $500 million a day.

According to the agreement, Japan and the United States would each shoulder 20 percent of the cost of the war with the remaining 60 percent assumed by Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and other countries.

Nickles introduces oil tariff bill

TULSA (AP)-Oklahoma Sen. Don Nickles last week introduced for the second straight year legislation that he says will set a minimum price for a barrel of crude oil and weaken America's dependence on foreign oil.

The Domestic Petroleum Security Act of 1991 would establish oil prices at a minimum of $25 barrel and help moderate oil price fluctuations that have occurred since 1985, Nickles said.

The bill would impose a variable tariff on imported oil, which effectively would create a $25 floor under oil produced domestically, Nickles said.

The tariff, which only would apply to imported oil prices below $25, would help generate investment in exploration for domestic oil, Nickles said

Similar legislation introduced in the last congressional session failed to receive any support. President Bush also opposed import fees last year.

Beijing student leader on trial

BEIJING (AP)-A Chinese people's court last week put on trial Wang Dan, the most-wanted student leader of the 1989 prodemocracy movement that was crushed by Communist authorities.

His name topped a police list of the 21 most-wanted student leaders after the democracy movement was put down in an army assault across Beijing on June 4, 1989.

Wang, 23, was arrested the following month and has been in jail since then.

A notice posted outside the Beijing Intermediate People's Court, site of the trial, accused Wang of "counter-revolutionary propaganda and incitement," the charge most frequently used against political prisoners.

He is the 25th activist to be tried or sentenced this month as the government attempts to wrap up such cases. The court announced that nine participants have been sentenced this month, receiving terms up to four years, and at least 15 others are on trial.

Texas school funding thrown out

AUSTIN, Texas (AP)-The Texas Supreme Court ruled last week that the latest version of the state's public school finance law is unconstitutional because it doesn't solve the problem of unequni funding of rich and poor schools. Lawmakers were given until April 1 to devise a new plan.

Under the current law, about half of all public education funds still come from local property taxes. State District Judge Scott McCown ruled in September that financial inequities between different schools are caused by the wide range in property values across the state.

Last week's opinion, written by Chief Justice Tom Phillips, said the new school finance law raised taxes to add $528 million for the $13.5 billion-a-year school system during the 1990-91 year. "However, Senate Bill 1 leaves essentially intact the same funding system with the same deficiencies we reviewed in Edgewood 1," the court said, referring to the original challenge led , by the Edgewood Independent School District in San Antonio.

Nine of 15 first place awards went to CSU broadcasting students in the 1990 Outstanding Achievement in Student Broadcasting Awards contest held Jan. 19, 1991.

This is the first statewide contest of its kind sponsored by the Oklahoma Broadcast Education Association, said Gerald Howard, Committee Chairman. "We saw very impressive work statewide, which means we will have to work very hard to be competitive next time," Howard said.

Awards in nine television and six radio categories were given.

Eighty entries were considered in the contest. Participants were from CSU, Oklahoma State University, Oklahoma Christian University of Science and Arts, East Central University, Oklahoma Baptist University and Cameron University, Howard said. V

First place winners are Ed Johnson, TV public affairs; Russell Kirby, radio documentary; Tamara Pratt and Guy Westmoland, TV newscast; Gene Kinney, TV commercial and public service announcement; Michelle Pierce and Jimmy Young, TV entertainment; Tommie Sherrill, radio sports coverage; Ken Robinson
