Desert Storm
support group
holds meeting
By the Herald StafT
The Desert Storm Support
Group of Sapulpa met Thursday to
discuss the end of the conflict in
the Middle East All agreed that
some changes are coining soon
after the troops return home, but
one of the biggest changes brought
forth by group leader Regina Graf-
ton was the resumption of a
normal family routine.
Even though the war is over,
there is still concern for the safety
of the troops. Group members are
still wary of Saddam Hussein’s
tricks, she said.
The group still has buttons, hats
and flags for sale, including yard
flags with yellow ribbons that say
“Come home soon”.
The group will continue to meet
until the troops come home. The
group is scheduled to meet each
Thursday at 7 p.m. at Sapulpa
Middle School.
For more information, call

Cease-fire holding on
DHAHRAN, Saudi Arabia (AP) —
Peace slowly took hold in the Persian
Gulf today. The day-old cease-fire
held despite isolated clashes as allied
soldiers kept a watchful eye on their
vanquished foes and systematically
destroyed abandoned Iraqi weaponry.
In Kuwait, American soldiers
hoisted the flag outside the U.S.
Embassy today as Ambassador
Edward Gnehm arrived to take up his
post. A day earlier, U.S. army explo-
sive specialists had swept the embassy
compound, blowing up stray
ammunition.
On the battle front, allied military
officials today reported a few cease-
fire violations, including several
minor exchanges of fire overnight
initiated by Iraqi units presumed not to
have learned of the truce.
U.S. commanders said allied and
Iraqi commanders would meet
‘soon’’ for talks on a permanent
cease-fire, the return of prisoners of
war and other issues. They would not
say when or where.
President Bush had said in his
speech Wednesday night announcing
the cease-fire that the meeting would
have to be held within 48 hours, and
U.S. officials in Washington said Iraqi
diplomats had been informed of a
desired time and place.
“We are going to get back our
POWs and we’re going to do it fast,’’
Bush declared on Thursday. Forty-
five Americans are missing, and at
least eight are believed to be Iraqi pris-
oners. U.S. commanders still had not
updated the death toll of 79 Americans
provided Wednesday night.
The allies were turning their atten-
tion to identifying Iraqis whose units
were suspected of involvement in
atrocities in Kuwait. But a senior U.S.
military official in Riyadh said today
that the Iraqi command in Kuwait City
fled before the arrival of U.S. and
allied forces and could escape
prosecution.
"The Iraqi security forces saw the
handwriting on the wall early and they
got out ... before the Marines were
even within striking distance of
getting in there," the official said,
speaking on condition of anonymity.
At allied checkpoints, Iraqi soldiers
straggling north toward the southeast-
ern Iraqi city of Basra were screened.
The checkpoints were up and func-
tioning hours after President Bush
declared the cease-fire that took effect
at 8 a.m. Thursday.
The haste reflected allied anger over
reports Iraqi soldiers murdered, raped
and mutilated citizens before aban-
doning the Kuwaiti capital.
In Kuwait, gruesome stories
emerged about the terror of the seven-
month Iraqi occupation. Hospital staff
members — including morgue work-
ers and doctors — described atrocities
they had witnessed.
Hadra Ahmad, a 29-year-old volun-
teer Red Crescent worker at Mubarak
Hospital in Kuwait City, said today
that she saw the bodies of scores of
Kuwaitis who had been shot in the
mouth, burned or mutilated.
"Why arc they doing these things?
Wc just cannot understand," she said.
"But now our heart is clear. They are
gone.”
In Baghdad, official media
continued today to portray the rout of
Iraqi forces as a victory. “By God’s
will and the might of our leader
Saddam Hussein we foiled the aggres-
sors’ plot," said the headline in one
government newspaper.
That stood in sharp contrast to U.S.
military officials’ descriptions of the
plight of the Iraqi army. They said
today that surviving troops, in small
disorganized units, were retreating
north across a broad front toward the
Euphrates River, whose bridges have
been wrecked.
In the desert of southern Iraq,
littered with the hulks of “killed"
Iraqi tanks, the U.S. VII Corps was
still on guard.
"It’s just a very dangerous time
right now. The uncertainty,” said Sgt.
Maj. Robert E. Wilson of El Paso,
Texas, the corps’ ranking non-
commissioned officer. “In Vietnam
they just used the cease-fire to
resupply.”

By HAL MILLER
Herald Staff Writer
Several Sapulpa students are getting
a chance to add an “a” to the three Vs”
in a program currently underway in
two elementary schools.
The “a” is for arts, specifically
acting and photography.
The Artists-in-Residence Program,
sponsored by the Sapulpa Arts Coun-
cil, is giving students the opportunity
to go beyond the basic curriculum and
lcam artistic skills from skilled practi-
tioners. The learning is also fun.
At Liberty Elementary, exhibition
photographer Gaylord A. Younghein
is showing students several ways to be
creative with photography without the
expense of high-dollar photography
equipment
The students are learning how to
make photograms, using objects of
varied shapes placed on top of photo-
graphic paper and exposed to light.
The objects dock light to areas of the
light-sensitive paper, leaving a white
image of the object on a black back-
ground. Younghein has even showed
students how to tint the paper to give a
different lode to the black and white.
Younghein is also showing the
students how to use pinhole cameras
made from coffee cans to take
pictures. The students can then make
positive prints from the photographic
paper “negatives” without using a
photographic enlarger.
The students take pictures of other
pictures, usually posters of spacemen
and teddy bears. The students can
“customize” photographs by placing
objects such as pop cans in front of the
picture being shot.
The artwork done by the students is
currently on display at the Rule Build-
ing in downtown Sapulpa.
At Jefferson Elementary, Rhonda
Clark is teaching students the elements
of stagecraft. Students arc writing
their own plays and acting them out, or
illustrating stories with their acting.
She teaches the kids to play out their
stories with emotion and feeling.
The objective of the teaching is to
let kids act the scenes in real-life
drama rather than memorization.
Clark also emphasizes that the plays
and scenes should be acted with
dialogue rather than read.
Both artists will be at the schools for
the next several weeks.

Jurors convict man
in student’s death
By STEVEN JAMES
Herald Staff Writer
It took an eight-man, four-woman
jury more than six hours of delibera-
tion Thursday to convict a Wichita,
Kan., man of murdering a TU law
student last September.
Jurors recommended a life sentence
with the possibility of parole for
Robert Ray Newman, 20.
Another Wichita man, Gene W.
Scott, will be tried next month in
connection with the Sept. 22 shooting
death of Ronald M. Brochstein, 23,
whose body was found north of Sapul-
pa on a railroad embankment.
The jury heard closing arguments
and retired to the jury room shortly
before 11 a.m. After hours of delibera-
tions and a 90-minute lunch recess, the
jurors soil District Judge Donald D.
Thompson a notice that they were
deadlocked 11-1 at 4:40 p.m.
Thompson told the jurors they must
deliberate further and emerge with a
verdict. The verdict was announced
shortly after 7 pm
Most jurors declined to speak with
reporters following the trial, but one
who would comment said they were in
agreement on Newman’s guilt, but
could not decide on sentencing.
District Attorney Lantz McClain
asked the jurors diving closing argu-
ments to return a life without parole
sentence.
McClain told the jury that, under the
"felony murder doctrine,” there was
‘no requirement to show this defen-
dant pulled the trigger.”
“It’s forseeable, when you engage
in armed robbery,” that a murder could
occur, McClain said. If a murder
results from an armed robbery in
which a person participates, but does
not actually pull the trigger, he is
nonetheless responsible under the law,
he said.
Newman testified he only drove the
car to the location where Brochstein
was shot. Scott actually pulled the trig-
ger, he said, and Newman was
unaware Brochstein had been killed
until he was arrested days later while
driving Brochsiein’s car in Wichita.
McClain told the jurors Newman
had, “out of his own mouth ...
convicted himself of first-degree
murder.”
Newman’s attorney, C. Clifton
Brown, said the jurors had “heard a
beautiful trial of Gene Scott during the
last few days. ... (McClain) hopes to
convict my client on the acts of the
killer, Gene ScoU.”
Brown said his client was “under
the spell of killer Scott.”
He urged jurors “not to bite the hand
that feeds us information to solve these
Crimea.”
Neither Newman nor his attorney
would comment after die trial.
Newman will be formally sentenced

House not hearing all
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) —
House Speaker Glen Johnson says
some of the more complex issues may
not be getting heard in the Legislature
because of the shortened sessions
approved by the voters.
Johnson was asked specifically at a
Capitol news conference Thursday
afternoon about a bill to combine
environmental earvioae into one agen-
cy. The bill wo not passed out by e
constraints now imposed on the Legis-
lature, he said.
He also said the time limitation
could work against Gov. David
Walters’propoaal to split the hospitals
and prognsns for children and the
elderly from the Department of
Human Services.
