New plan prevents invasion of privacy NEW YORK (AP) — The Clinton administration will announce a plan to preserve privacy in electronic communications through new technology, according to a published report. The plan — using a system of encoding voice and computer transmissions to prevent unauthorized listening — would incorporate features ensuring the government could still eavesdrop for law enforcement and national security purposes, The New York Times said.
DNA test shows man isn't rapist after 7 years in prison ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — Walter T. Snyder Jr. has spent nearly seven years in prison — close to 2,500 long days and just as many nights — for a rape that prosecutors now say he didn't commit. Convinced by a DNA test that eliminated Snyder as the rapist, Commonwealth's Attorney John E. Kloch joined the prisoner's lawyer and parents in their bid to win his freedom. The prosecutor endorsed the findings in Snyder's case that a recent DNA test showed another man was responsible. But Snyder, 26, remains behind bars at the Nottaway Correctional Center near Richmond, and his lawyer, Peter J. Neufeld of New York, is frustrated by the continuing delay. Aides to Wilder say any clemency plea should be examined carefully before an inmate is released.

Ash and Leo, The Road Warriors from KATT radio, will also serve as masters of ceremonies. All the bands performing will play a variety of music. The Wobblies perform alternative rock, and their music is geared to make an industrial, political statement . There will be a team volleyball competition at 1:30p.m., and a fee will be charged to each team competing. The volleyball competition as well as the food and various booths will be sponsored by the Earth Day committee.
ares for Earth Day The jam came close to being a no-show, said PRSSA members. "We had to write letters to the administration about what went wrong last year and how we can fix it," said Shelly Clark, president of PRSSA. "We had to have department chairs And deans sign a petition, and then
we had to write a letter stating what we had corrected from last year," said Mona Nickels, PRSSA publicity chairman. "This concert is benefiting the whole university. The benefits from the volleyball teams will be given to an undetermined environmental organization."

Ecum nical worship planned By Heide Brandes
Northeast is richest WASHINGTON (AP) — The largest family paychecks in the nation are brought home in the big-city suburbs of the Northeast. At the other end of the scale, there's a stretch of South Texas farm land on the Mexican border where family income is the lowest in the nation. There's a connection between what you make and where you live, census figures show. The counties where median family income is highest are concentrated outside Washington, D.C., and New York City. Most of the lowest-income counties are rural. In Starr County, Texas, the median family makes only $10,903 a year, the lowest family median in the nation. See World Wrap, page 6 Rev. Michael T.

Staff Writer An Earth Day ecumenical worship service, headed by Rev. Michael T. McEwen, will be held from 12:45 - 1:15 p.m. April 22 at the Y chapel at the University of Central Oklahoma. An ecumenical worship means all faces of religion are involved. The service will include music, scripture readings, prayer and a talk by McEwen, campus Minister for the Ecumenical Campus Ministry (ECM) of UCO. "I'll talk a little about our responsibility to take care of our planet," McEwen said. "I'm going to be talking about the common religious traditions of caring for the earth. For instance, the Native Americans were very close to the earth. Western religions like Judaism, Islam, Christianity, they all use the old testament. The belief that the physical world was created by God and we were to take care of it." The service will be the first performed for Earth Day by the ECM. Involved in ECM are five Edmond churches: First Christian, First Presbyterian, St. Mary's Episcopal, Peace Lutheran and Southern Hills Christian. The Baptist Student Union, the Wesley Foundation and the Catholic Campus Ministries will also be involved in the service. In addition to the Earth Day service, ECM is making plans for more campus religious observances and activities. Topics under discussion include different races and cultures, ecumenical efforts and issues of social concern. "We're going to try to relate to some of the special interest groups on campus," McEwen.
