Gunman kills 22 KILLEEN, Texas (AP) — The gunman who massacred 22 people in a cafeteria crowded with lunchtime customers used up most of his remaining ammunition fighting off police, but saved the final bullet to kill himself, authorities said today. Police said they were still struggling to find a motive for the nation's deadliest shooting rampage. Diners screamed in terror as George Hennard, who lived in nearby Belton, drove his pickup through a plateglass window of a Luby's Cafeteria shortly before 1 p.m. Wednesday, climbed out and opened fire. The carnage stopped after one of four plainclothes Department of Public Safety officers. Police said Hennard, 35, fired two 9mm semiautomatic pistols.

Anti 1017 official agrees to polygraph TULSA, Okla. (AP) — The founder of the Oklahoma Taxpayers Union, whose Oklahoma City offices were bombed last month, will take a polygraph test to aid the FBI in its investigation. Dan Brown told Tulsa television station KTUL on Wednesday that the FBI asked him to take the test. He said he agreed to the request "I guess they want to know if I bombed myself," Brown said. Brown denied any involvement in the Sept. 30 bombing, which occurred at 2:40 am. in the offices in northwest Oklahoma City. Brown blamed the bombing on a person who supported the education law, House Bill 1017.
Bennetton Ads Stay PARIS (AP) — A court on Friday rejected a campaign to force the Italian clothing maker B enetton to take down 1,300 billboard advertisements showing a priest kissing a nun.

■ Saturday's HOMECOMING football match-up Angelo State at Central Oklahoma ■ TIME, LOCATION: 2:00 p.m., Wantland Stadium (cap. 10,000), Edmond. ■ RECORDS: The Bronchos are 1-5 (0-3 in the Lone Star Conference) after a 23-12 loss to 18th-ranked Texas A&I. The Rams are 3-3 (1-1) following a 36-9 win against Abilene Christian. ■ RADIO: Central Oklahoma campus radio station KCSC-FM 90.1 broadcasts all UCO football games live, with veteran announcer Chris Needham handling the play-by-play and Sports Information Director Mike Kirk adding color commentary. ■ RANKINGS: Angelo State was ranked 18th in the preseason NCAA II rankings and as high as 13th in Street & Smith's college football preview. ■ SERIES: Angelo State leads the series dating back to 1973, 9-2-1, with the tie coming in the first meeting between the two schools (7-7). The teams met each year until 1978. UCO and the Rams resumed the series in 1985 with ASU taking a 29-23 victory. The teams have played each year since then, and every game has been within eight points with the exception of a 49-7 thrashing by the Rams in 1989 when UCO finished the season 0-10-1. ■ OUTLOOK: UCO—The Bronchos played almost well enough to win in Saturday's game against Texas A&I, but the offense took advantage of only one of four A&I turnovers. QB Mark Reiland completed 7-of-16 passes for 103 yards and a touchdown, but he was sacked nine times and finished with minus-63 yards rushing. ASU—The Rams' potent passing attack must be stopped. Three quality QB's are on the roster, including Greg Stephens, who ran 15 yards for a touchdown with 3:34 left to seal a 14-9 Ram win last year in San Angelo. The ASU secondary ranked sixth in the nation last week in pass efficiency defense, giving up a completion average of just 43% and only 112 yards a game. The Bronchos best passing day was a 134-yard performance on Oct. 5 against East Texas State. V
The homecoming theme design has been selected, the official playbook printed, so let the games begin! The University of Central Oklahoma's annual Laff Olympics, sponsored by the University Center's Activities Board and the Student Government Association, will be held during homecoming week, said Elton Jenkins, UCAB vice president of administration and homecoming co-chairman. Activities will include a treasure hunt, several water sports, an egg toss, a four-legged race, an obstacle course and other spirit-lifting activities, said Jenkins Any UCO student organization is eligible to enter one or more of the events. "The games aren't as heavily participated in as I would like to see ... the ones that do get involved have a lot of fun," said Judy Elwell, University Center Activities director. Organizations placing first, second or third in specific events will accumulate points to be tallied after all the events are finished. The organization with the most points will win, not a gold medal, but $500, said Jenkins. He said a second place prize of $100 will also be awarded. Jenkins said individual UCO students are eligible to participate in the treasure hunt as well as organizations. Clues to the treasure will be given each day of homecoming week and will be posted all over campus. Points will be awarded to organizations participating in the hunt but whoever solves all the clues and finds the treasure will win it. The treasure is valued at $100. The water sport games, played on Wednesday at 3:00, 4:00 and 5:00 p.m. consecutively in the Broncho Field House pool include; "Stuff It", where team members stuff one member into a swim cap and carry him the length of the pool, a "wet sweatshirt relay", which has team members swim the length of the pool in a sweatshirt, remove it and transfer it to the next team member, and a "rock dive" where team members dive into the deep end of the pool to collect rocks of different colors worth specified points, he said. On Thursday at Centenial Square, the egg toss, four-legged race and the obstacle course will be played at 3:00, 4:00 and 5:00 p.m. Other point-winning events, on Friday, include "etch-a-sketch", played much like "Win, Lose or Draw," at 3:00 p.m., and the 200 point pyramid which imitates "The $20,000 Pyramid" game show at 4:30 p.m. in the Howell Hall auditorium, room 201. A cheer competition held on the Broncho Fieldhouse, east lawn will be Friday at 9:00 p.m. This competition is also an opportunity for organizations to win points, said Jenkins. V
