NEW YORK (AP) - All of
the students involved could be
expelled if hazing was involved
in the stabbing death of a teen- I
aged pledge during military
fraternity rites, a spokesman
for St. John's University said
yesterday.
At the same time, the spokes-
man continued to deny that haz-
ing played a role in the death,
but a former member of the
group said that hazing was a
part of the ritual of the ROTC
fraternity.
"IT WAS PROBABLY the re-
sult of too much zeal on the
part of the students in attempt-
ing to perfect their military
tactical skills," said Martin

"There will be a definite con-

Maine chapter of the Appala-
chian Motntain Club.
B O T H Dyer and University
of Maine botanist Charles Rich-
ards, who teamed up on a two-
week survey of the Dickey area,
agreed that the furbish louse-
wort had little intrinsic worth.
"It has no cemmercial value.
It's not pretty or beautiful,""
said Richards. "It's scientific,
entirely. It's a rare plant that
might become extinct."

at Lincoln.
Fornmore than a decade, the
Dickey - Lincoln project has

designed to generate 1.2 billion
kilowatt hours of electricity per

First opposed by private pow-
er companies, the project is
now a chief target of environ-
mental groups fighting to pre-
serve the Upper St. John, one
of the last wild rivers in the'
Northeast.
Dyer said he doesn't opposei
the project, but has yet to be
convinced it should be under-
taken. "We're trying to be as
objective as we can," he said.

"If they really were hazing,

could be expelled. I understand
state law makes it a misde-;
meanor."
One former member of the I
ROTC groun, the Pershing Ri-,
fles, a national military frater-
nitv, said in an interview,
"They're sick and the sooner'
thev put an end to that type ,
of hazing, the better off they'll
be. It's gone too far. It had
gone too far when I was in. It
gets too dangerous."
THE FORMER member of r

Thomas Fitzgerald, the vic-
tim of Friday night's stabbing,
was a student at Queens Col-
lege and a member of the St.
John's ROTC unit. He would
have been 20 years old today.
Police said he was stabbed by
James Savino, 21, a cadet sec-
ond lieutenant, during a night-
time fraternity ritual on tiny,
uninhabited Indian Island off the
south short of Long Island.
SAVINO WAS being held with-
out bail in the Suffolk County
jail on' a murder charge. He de-
nied any intent to harm Fitz-
