Broken record: enrollment up By Traci McKnight

Intruder shot by policemen BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — Police today shot and killed a knife-wielding woman who broke into the campus mansion of the chancellor of the University of California at Berkeley. Chancellor Chang-Lin Tien and his wife, Di-Hwa Tien, were warned by police that an intruder was in their home and were unhurt, authorities said. The woman, identified as 19-year-old Rosebud Abigail Denovo, was shot by a police officer after she "made some threatening movements," said school spokesman Bob Sanders.

Staff Writer Tuesday morning the University of Central Oklahoma beat last year's record enrollment of 15,014. "We had our 15,015th student

enroll this morning," said Suzanne Martin, director of admissions and records. UCO enrollment has been making a steady increase every year since 1987. According to figures provided by the enrollment office, there

were 14,214 students enrolled in fall 1989, 14,501 in 1990 and a 15,014 student record last year. Students will still be enrolling until Sept. 4. Even though The University of Oklahoma has decided to cap

its enrollment, Martin said limiting students is not an option at UCO. Providing afternoon and night classes, more than other colleges, allows us to continue to serve a growing student population, she said.

Joy of sex for everyone now ST. LOUIS (AP) — Erica Levy Klein and Ken Kroll are trying to knock down more private barriers facing the 36 million physically disabled Americans with their book "Enabling Ron-lance," a sort of "Joy of Sex" for the disabled. Levy Klein, 35, said she saw the need for such a book after she began dating Kroll, a paraplegic, who is now her husband. In bookstores, she found poignan t accounts of how people learned to live with their disabilities or overcame stereotypes, but none sufficed as a "how-to" manual for sex. See World Wrap, back page
