12 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, March 27, 1996 Two NFL stars face a different kind of pressure Steelers' Morris indicted on felony drug charges after police find marijuana, cocaine in his car The Associated Press ROCKWALL, Texas - A grand jury indicted Pittsburgh Steelers run- ning back Byron "Bam" Morris on felony drug charges yesterday after authorities found marijuana and co- caine in his Mercedes-Benz. Morris was indicted on one count of possession of between five and 50 pounds of marijuana and one count of possession of between one and four grams of cocaine, Rockwall County District Attorney Galen Sumrow said. Both charges are third-degree felo- nies, which are punishable by two to 10 years in prison and a maximum $10,000 fine. Authorities searching Morris' im- pounded luxury car found 1 1/2 grams of cocaine Monday, Sumrow said. The leased car was retained last week af- ter officers found more than six pounds of marijuana in the trunk dur- ing a traffic stop. Officers found the cocaine in a small hollow area underneath the ashtray, said John Davila, assistant commander of the Northeast Area Drug Interdic- tion Task Force. Morris, 24, the leading rusher in this year's Super Bowl, and Rodney Dwayne Reynolds, 26, a passenger in the car, were arrested Friday and re- leased after posting $25,000 bond. Reynolds was indicted on one count of possession of between five and 50 pounds of marijuana, Sumrow said. Morris' attorney, Jay Ethington of Dallas, did not immediately return a call. Morris was stopped Friday morn- ing for crossing the outside line and for not wearing a seat belt, officials said. An officer from the drug task force followed Morris about three miles before pulling him over outside the Rockwall city limits. The officer became suspicious af- ter Morris and Reynolds gave con- flicting statements of where they'd been and what they'd been doing, authorities said, After obtaining Morris' permission to search the car, the officer found the drugs in the trunk in a sports bag, authorities said. Morris won the Doak Walker Award in 1993 as the nation's top running back while a junior at Texas Tech. He skipped his senior year to go into professional football, and the Steelers made him their third-round pick in 1994. He was the Steelers' leading rusher last season. Cowboys' Irvin mum on grand jury testimony AP PHOTO Steelers running back Barn Morris faces two counts of illegal drug possession. The Associated Press DALLAS - Dallas Cowboys star Michael Irvin and three others who were in a motel room where police found cocaine, marijuana and drug para- phernalia appeared before a grand jury yesterday in answer to subpoenas. Irvin, former Cowboys tight end Alfredo Roberts, Angela Beck and Jasmine Nabwangu were tight-lipped about the behind-closed-door pro- ceedings with the panel investigating the events that led to Beck's arrest on drug charges. The All-Pro wide receiver- wear- ing dark glasses, a dark blue suit and a black mink coat -- signed an auto- graph for one courthouse visitor, but refused to discuss the day's events with reporters. "Why do I have to tell you guys anything?" Irvin asked as he boarded an elevator at the Frank Crowley Criminal Courts building. Irvin and his attorney met with pros- ecutors Monday but declined com- ment, citing a gag order issued by state District Judge John Creuzot. The judge, who issued the five- page decree, said yesterday he was concerned about the amount of atten- tion the high-profile case has received. He said he was also concerned about the ability of somebody to get a fair trial in Dallas, should the grand jury return an indictment-in the case. Only Beck was arrested after police entered an Irving motel room early March 4. A motel manager made a 911 call to complain about a noisy party involving possible prostitution and drug use. Police said they found about three ounces of marijuana, two ounces of cocaine and drug paraphernalia. Ar- resting officers said the drugs were i Beck's immediate proximity and she told them the narcotics belonged to her. Fort Worth television station KXAS-TV, quoting unidentified sources, reported that police found a glass container with cocaine residue in an overnight bag of Irvin's.

The understanding obtained in the analysis of one such system can often shed light on a formally similar system in a very different field. The Program for the Study of Complex Systems (PSCS) at The University of Michigan was created to help facilitate research and education in the intrinsically interdisciplinary study of complex systems. This Symposium's purpose is to help acquaint the University community with the rich potential for applying ideas from complex systems to various disciplines. The talks, by distinguished scholars in a wide variety of fields, will address the relevance and applicability of complex systems to problems in the speaker's field of research, and will be directed at a general academic audience. The Symposium is free and registration is not required.
