2 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, February 21, 1996 NATION/WORLD Okla. bombingtrial moved to Denver OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A fed- eral judge moved the Oklahoma City bombing case to Denver yesterday, say- ing the need to protect the defendants from a public thirst for vengeance out- weighs the desire of the victims' fami- lies to attend the trial. Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols "have been demonized," U.S. District Judge Richard Matsch wrote. "There is so great a r prejudice against these two defen- dants in the state of Oklahoma that they T cannot obtain a fair and impartial trial at any place fixed by law,, for holding court in that state." He did not set a trial date. Prosecutors had urged Matsch to move the trial to Tulsa, about 90 miles from the bomb site, so that victims' families could easily attend. But Matsch, chief federal judge in Denver, sided with the defense, which wanted the trial held in Denver. "The interests of the victims in being able to attend this trial in Oklahoma are outweighed by the court's obligation to assure that the trial be conducted with fundamental fairness and with due re- gard forall constitutional requirements," the judge said. The April 19 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building killed 169 people and injured more than 500 in the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil. "Because this was a crime that oc- curred in their state, Oklahomans wanted to know every detail about the explosion, the investigation, the court proceedings and, in particular, the vic- tims," the judge said. "There is a fair inference that only a guilty verdict with a death sentence could be considered a just result in the minds of many." McVeigh and Nichols could face the death penalty if convicted of murder and conspiracy. Victims' families said it will be hard for some to attend the trial 500 miles away. "I plan on going several times during the trial, but not every day," said Aren Almon, whose year-old daughter Baylee died in the bombing and was photo- graphed in the arms of a firefighter. GREEK Continued from Page 1 Review Panel's jurisdiction over group behavior and its ability to impose sanc- tions for group misconduct. When asked if the University would check in on chapters, Cianciola said, "We expect them to do what they say they are going to do." The draft also lists other "minimum expectations" of the UOs. It says the University expects chapters to maintain a minimum grade-point average of 2.3. It also says the UOs "will comply with all University, State and Local laws and policies." According to the statement, the UOs "mustensure that their respective mem- ber Chapter's activities positively con- tribute to University Life." The draft says the University expects UOs to "ensure that each of its member chapters have sufficient external lead- ership." "(The document) does effectively change the relationship between chapters and the IFC," said LSA senior Matthew Hart, former president of Chi Psi. Hart said IFC was prompted to draft a new agreement because of concerns about the University's influence on the Greek system. "They kept saying, 'We've got to do it, or the University won't let us have Rush,"' he said. Hart said he thinks IFC may have been influenced by the University ad- ministration to negotiate the pact. "The guy who was supposed to be represent- ing us had a big conflict of interest. He worked under the auspices of Maureen Hartford last year," he said, referring to Engineering senior Jon Roberts, former IFC president. Hartford is the vice president for stu- dent affairs. Roberts denied Hart's charges that he was an inappropriate choice to represent Greek interests. Roberts said he has never worked directly with Hartford, butthrough some ofhis leadership roles he has worked with the Office of Student Affairs. He said he thought such contact was typical of any student leader. Roberts said he and former Panhel President Laura Shoemaker picked up last year where previous presidents had left off. "Wie made changes and tried to get in as much input as we could," he said. "It's not anywhere near perfect." Roberts said the Greek system wanted to create the document while they could make their own draft and work with University administrators. He said that wouldn't be the case if Greek associa- tions waited to draft a relationship state- ment until a crisis situation arose. "Other schools have forced docu- ments down their Greek systems' throats," Roberts said. "This way we avoid that. We preserve what we have right now and get it guaranteed by the University for the future." Panhel President Becca Coggins, an LSA junior said, "We've had a working relationship with the University (all along)." Roberts and Cianciola said the docu- ment is still a draft. Roberts said clari- fications need to be added to the docu- ment. Roberts said the document does not aim to require chapters to have a live-in RA. He said training will be made avail- able for houses that want to take advan- tage of it. The trained person could be a house member, probably an upperclass mem- ber, Roberts said. He said the document does not make the University a watchdog for the Greek system. Roberts said the chapters should not expect DPS raids on parties or peri- odic University inspections of chapter residences. "The University cannot trespass. The University recognizes IFC and Panhel as self-governing bodies. Policies are already in place to monitor house ac- tivities," Roberts said. Responding to allegations that the University had plans to deny rush to first-year students, Seiler said, "That's just crazy. No way." Many colleges and universities have adopted documents defining their rela- tionships with Greek associations. Indiana University Associate Dean of Students Damon Sims said IU has served in "an advisory role" for campus fraternities and sororities since 1969. Sims said the university practices the "Indiana Plan." Under the plan, the university cosigned loans fraternities and sororities needed to build their houses. In return, the chapters agreed to be subject to university rules and regu- lations. "We don't roam around supervising them ... very much," Sims said. SNATIONA L 3REPaRT * s..s " Court rejects plea in right-to-die' case WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court rejected yesterday the plea of a Michigan woman who wants to turn off the medical machinery that keeps her brain-damaged husband alive. The action appears to give states new authority'to limit the "right to die." The court did not issue, a ruling in the dispute. But it did vote to leave intact a decision by the Michigan Supreme Court that sharply reduced the authority"of relatives to carry out a person's wishes to die after becoming medically hopel If that individual had not spelled out the exact circumstances under which lif- support should be withdrawn, the state court said, the family may not do so, even if it believes it knows from conversations what the individual wanted. Under the state court ruling, courts would not have to accept the faniify's interpretation of the individual's choice without strong evidence that the indi- vidual had made that choice. That ruling, right-to-die organizations said, requfires someone to predict some future condition, and then make specific recommenda- tions on what to do - the kind of explicit choices few people make. The Supreme Court first ruled in 1990 that the Constitution gives a gravely ill or dying person a right to have all life support taken away, provided that the decision was that person's choice. But the court did not settle how the choice to be conveyed, and did not spell out what role family members could exerc . reat scores...

Heavy mari'uana use affectsg CHICAGO - People who smoke marijuana heavily -.at least two out of every three days - may have trouble paying attention and performing simple tasks even a day after going without the drug, a study found. Researchers compared 65 college stu- dents who smoked at least 22 days a month with 64 similar students who smoked nine days a month at most. A day after going without the drug, the heavy marijuana users performed significantly worse on tasks that in- volved sustaining and shifting atten- tion. The ability to remember things newly learned did not differ significantly be- tween the groups, the researchers re- ported in today's issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association. Marijuana's after-effects on think- ing might result from drug residue in the brain, from drug withdrawal or from actual damage to the nervous system, said the study's authors, Dr. Harrison Pope Jr. and Deborah Yurgelun-Todd of Harvard-affiliated McLean Hospital in Belmont, Mass. Only further study can determine whether mental impairment from mari- juana "should be considered a public health problem;" they said. Alzheimer's may be a lifelong illness CHICAGO - Alzheimer's disease may stalk its victims early in life, de- cades before it destroys the mind,"a study of nuns who are donating their brains to science suggests. Alzheimer's may result from a life- long biological deterioration that be- comes apparent only when people are older, authors of the study say. The study analyzed nuns' youth l writings and found that those wo who showed low linguistic abilitywhen they were in their 20s had a much high4t risk of Alzheimer's when they were elderly. The findings could indicate Alzheimer's impairs language ability when people are young, the researchers said. On the other hand, greater linguistic ability early in life might indicate ahealthy brain resistant to Alzheimer's later o get a higher score KAPLAN 1-800- KAP-TEST THEFT Continued from Page 1 tenced March 29.
