Now youhave to teli your roommates. 0 Shapir By KEVIN TOTTIS I C "77 PY1tC 1Cn.77CC rl Bursley's main lobby buzzed with ac- tivity last night as members of the local media questioned residents about yesterday's shooting. Upstairs in Bursley's West Cafeteria, however, residents were hushed as university President Harold Shapiro, Vice President for Student Services Henry Johnson, and other officials spoke of yesterday morning's tragedy. THE MOOD OF the meeting was stilted, as students pondered the death of fellow residents Edward Siwik and Douglas McGreaham. After two minutes of silent meditation, Shapiro spoke to a group of more than 800 residents about the human quality of attending the Univer- sity, and living in Bursley. f ) 0I LLu ~ "I'm going to ask you students for a maximum amount of understanding," Shapiro said. "There will be no sub- stitute for the help you can give one another." "I APOLOGIZE to you for this extra burden that falls jointly on our' shoulders now " Shapiro said. "It's a difficult time for us all. Rely on each other-rely on us-it's time for that," he added as rain drummed on the roof of the cafeteria. Residents quietly listened as Shapiro and Johnson spoke. The common "shs" and "be quiets" at such a gathering were absent last night. Johnson spoke after Shapiro only briefly, but added he was especially concerned about the condition at Bur- sley because his son lives there. "WHEN I HEARD the news this morning I was petrified," he said. "I'm not over that now." Following Johnson's remarks, Max Smith, newly-appointed housing direc- tor for Bursley, Baits, and Northwood apartments, relayed the details of the shooting to the students. "We have to rely on you as residents to report weapons in the dorms," Smith said. "We aren't in every room." After Smith spoke, residents questioned him about the shooting. Their questions ranged from queries on specific details of the shooting to questions about the motives for it. "THERE'S NO rhyme or reason," for the shooting, Smith said. The atmosphere in the cafeteria became less tense, as residents con- tinued to ask questions. At one point, Smith was asked if he L 4 CO LL.1 k7:7 IL/ &. 7 K-7 %..& %.. would allow th into the dorm. don't know if le way." HIS REMAI plause from th( Many of the with the pract the dorm.

"He said it was silly," Shapiro said. "He thought it was ridiculous that anyone would want to shoot someone else." LSA SENIOR Gary Donaldson, a former Bursley resident, affirmed that Doug, while very pleasant and easy to get along with, took his RA job very seriously. "Sure, he'd gripe about it a little sometimes," Donaldson said. "But he would never shirk responsibility." His "fantastic" sense of humor was a big part of Doug's strong, sensitive per- sonality, said LSA sophomore Maurine Jewell. "WHEN I first met him I thought he was perfect," Jewell recalled. "The more I got to know him, even though he had little faults, I still thought he was the closest possible thing to being per- fect." According to friends, Doug planned to teach in an art-related field. Described as very intelligent, he held a 4.0 grade point average last semester while carrying a 22 credit load, Shapiro said. A very helpful and encouraging art teacher he knew in high school was Doug's role model, Shapiro said, adding that Doug and theteacher still ex- changed letters and presents. Caspian, Doug's upper-peninsula home town with a population of about 1100, is reacting in shock and confusion over his death, according to a Caspian police officer.

"He said he'd think about it for a while and then get back to me." When they next discussed his .religious plans, Edward told him he'd decided not to be a priest. "He told me that more than anything else he wanted to be a father," McKer- nan said. "He really wanted to have children." r Join The Daily News Staff Rent a Cor from Econo-or U of M STUDENTS 19 years and older Choose from small economical cars to fine luxury cars. -Inqure about specilsweekend rates- Amateur and Commercial Phot "RUSHservie times even our fast service is enough.
