40 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, April 10, 1996 4 NATION/WORLD More evidence assembled in Unabomber case N Partially assembled bomb similar to device used in fatal blast Los Angeles Times LINCOLN, Mont. - Investigators preparing to file major criminal charges against Theodore Kaczynski assembled bits of forensic evidence yesterday that sources say tie him more firmly to the string of 16 bombings carried out by the Unabomber since 1978. Specifically, the sources said, techni- cians have found similarities between a completed bomb found in Kaczynski's Montana cabin over the weekend and an explosive device used in one of the more recent lethal attacks. But a source cautioned that exten- sive testing at FBI laboratory facilities in Washington, D.C., and Quantico, Va., must be conducted before federal officials can conclusively determine that the Unabomber used the same bomb-making technique as the person who built the device found at the for- mer math instructor's 10-by-12-foot cabin. Technicians also have found tools, including wire cutters and wood-carving instruments, that authorities say appear to have left telltale marks on fragments recovered from some of the bombings. In other developments yesterday: Sources said investigators have dis- covered "something big" in the form of evidence that is more conclusive than anything yet disclosed. While sources refused to describe the nature of the evi- dence, they did say it is related to a sin- gle incident. One source said that evi- dence contains more than one item. Authorities discounted reports that names of some bombing victims had been found in documents at Kaczynski's primitive home. "There's a name on a piece of paper and some other stuff on it," a federal source said, but it "was a generic name." He declined to say what he meant by generic, but left open the possibility the name was indirectly linked to a victim, such as the name of a corporation, employ- er or business, rather than an individual. Another source said the name was even more general and referred to an "industry type.' And in what could be a connection between Kaczynski and one of the Unabomber's victims, University of California officials confirmed yester- day that Hugh Scrutton, who was killed by a bomb in 1985 in Sacramento, had attended classes at UC Berkeley when Kaczynski may have been on campus. UC Berkeley spokesperson Marie Felde said Scrutton, a math major at UC Davis, completed a summer ses- sion at Berkeley that began in late June 1967 and continued through August. Kaczynski was added to the UC Berkeley payroll on July 1, 1967, Felde said, though he did not begin teaching in the math department until late September. UC Davis officials said Scrutton's transcript showed he took four classes while at Berkeley - only one of which, "History of Mathematics," involved the math department. The other three courses were on computer science, anthropology and philosophy. But whether Kaczynski and Scrutton even were on campus at the same time remains unclear. "They could have come in contact,' Felde said. "The key is to find out when Kaczynski showed up in Berkeley." Federal agents have turned up simi- larly tentative evidence that Kaczynski may have been in a position to cross paths with three other victims. Among the tentative links between Kaczynski and Unabomber victims: Patrick Fisher, a Vanderbilt University computer science professor wounded by a 1982 bomb, is the son of a math professor who taught at the University when Kaczynski was a graduate stu- dent in that department. Fisher visited his father there and may have encoun- tered Kaczynksi. And James McConnell, who narrowly avoided injury in a 1985 attack, was a psychol- ogy professor at the University when Kaczynski was a student there.

"Mediation is a risk," Church said. "Chuck Jamerison is a state-appointed mediator, and this is a state university. "The mediator's job is to find the University's bottomline, and we hope that the mediator will judge our level of commitment and community support and come up with a bottom line that is acceptable to us. Church said GEO has not considered a grade strike if mediation does not resolve the contrac dispute, but warns of possible response. "We have no plans," Church said. "We'd like to get a contract this week, but if the University con- tinues to bargain illegally, we would reserve the right to respond appropriately. "It would be terrible for undergrads if the University continues to stonewall" University Chief Negotiator Dan Gamble said the mediator is experienced with the issues and should help both sides reach an agreement. Jamerison mediated the last contract between th University and GEO in 1993. "This will be the third time with the same medi- ator," Gamble said. "He is well-acquainted with the University and GEO's relationship. Heknows a lt about it. "'mn hopeful that things will go well, and by 5 o'clock we'll have good news.: The issues both sides are scheduled to bargain on are wages, international GSI training and an affir- mative action liaison. "TheaUniversity is asking us to sign a contra@ that doesn't tell us how much it will pay us" Church said. "Our response is, 'Would you sign a contract that doesn't tell you how much you'll get paid?"' GEO bargaining team member Peter Wolanin said GEO has been asking for the same thing since contract negotiations started Oct. 31. "We want a living wage," Wolanin said. "That's been our demand the whole time." LSA first-year student David Lavigne agreed. "I agree they deserve more money," Lavigne said. "In my French class, my (GSI) does everything." Gamble said the administration hopes GE will accept its current offer of percentage increases in wages equal to tenured LSA faculty and annually set at the beginning of the fall semester. "Throughout the contract, we have a lot of pari- ty between (GSls) and faculty, and there's no greater way to have parity then to give them same increases," Gamble said. "This shows that we care for (GSIs) as our faculty." Wolanin said ,EO wants international GSIs be paid for their three-week summer trainin because federal forms and department memos say they are employees as soon as they accept their jobs. "We want the University to recognize that inter- national GSIs are employees and should be paid for their mandatory training," Wolanin said. "It is a financial hardship for international GSIs to come early and support themselves when they aren't get- ting a salary from the University." Gamble said the administration understands t situation of international GSIs and is offering provide orientation sessions, a $500 fellowship for room and board and a Rackham associate dean as an adviser. "They're looking at them as employees, but they're employees starting Sept. 1," Gamble said. "The deans can handle this (issue)." Wolanin said GEO wants to have a paid GSI liai- son to coordinate the activities of the joint admin- istration and GEO committee, which is already signed by both parties. "It seems that the University is willing to make a verbal commitment to affirmative action rather than a monetary commitment," Wolanin said. "We feel it should do both." WASHINGTON (AP) - About 1,500 colleagues and other mourners gathered last night to share their remembrances of Commerce Secretary Ron Brown before his funeral today. "This, my friends, was a man of great honor who proved anew my brothers' ideal that public service is a great and honorable profession," said Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.). "His warmth was genuine and you could feel it. It radiated," Transportation Secretary Federico Pena told the overflowing crowd at the Metropolitan Baptist Church in Washington for last night's "Celebration of Life." A full-honors funeral is scheduled today for Brown at Arlington National Cemetery after President Clinton delivers a eulogy at the National Cathedral. Brown died with 32 other Americans and two other $ people in a plane crash in This ... w Croatia last week while on a trade mission to the gre t honor former Yugoslavia. Kennedy, noting anew my bro Brown had worked with t a u him on his 1980 presi- t l dential campaign, said, "In 1980 1 lost the nomi- great and ht nation but I gained anoth- y er brother in Ron Brown." Others recapping-S Brown's path from his Harlem roots to his ascen- Court justices and military leaders. Throughout the day yesterday, hundreds of mourn- ers, sharing a rainbow of umbrellas and torrent of pub- lic sorrow, stood for hours in a cold driving rain out- side the Commerce Department to pay their respects. In a brief late-morning ceremony yesterday, Brown's body arrived at the department as his fami- ly and Vice President Al Gore looked on, huddling in the driving rain, holding hands and holding back tears. Brown's widow, Alma, held tightly to her adult children, Michael and Tracey. A Navy band played "Nearer My God To Thee" as eight honor guard pallbearers, their young serious faces streaked wet, carried the flag-draped casket across a red carpet into the building. No words were spoken vas a man of who proved others' ideal ser vice is a onorable Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) before or after the military honors, the eerie silence broken only by the rat-a- tat of raindrops on umbrellas as mourners lined the closed streets. Inside, the family grieved in private, form- ing a circle beside Brown's coffin, in silent prayer. Brown's staff was allowed in before the public. The casket was guard- ed by representatives of the five military ser- vices, who changed WHO WANTS A REALLY COOL JOB?) "I d do"" "CTunt min" The Michigan Daily is hiring!

Doug Wilder and San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown. Brown lay in repose in the ornate lobby of the Commerce Department, his body in a mahogany cof- fin atop a black-velvet-draped catafalque built in 1865 to bear the body of President Lincoln. The funeral bier has been used for other American presidents, including John F. Kennedy, Dwight Eisenhower and Lyndon Johnson, and Supreme watch every half-hour in a solemn slow-motion ritual. A table nearby displayed photographs of 11 Commerce employees who died with Brown in the plane crash. Mourners signed books in front of the display. By the table, a large photo of Brown was sur- rounded by more photos of the lost workers. Lewis, who had worked with Brown on Jesse Jackson's 1988 presidential campaign, was one of several hundred members of the public who waited in the rain in a line that stretched around the block. ______________________________________________________ I I ,To n shketa 'be0 ih Omb0Fa" ,jbdFret F '>i 4 0 4 Gb Y_ jljt.
