The Michigan Daily - Friday, February 19, 1999 - 7 i Buying a bone 1 Texas poi. asks attorney general to revisit Hopwood By Laura Offenbacher The Daily Texan AUSTIN - A Texas senator called for a new Attorney General interpretation of the controversial Hopwood rul- ing in a Senate Finance Committee meeting Tuesday. Texas Sen. Carlos Truan (D-Corpus Christi) asked Committee Chairman Bill Ratliff (R-Mt. Pleasant) to request that Attorney General John Cornyn, write anoth- er opinion on the case. Hopwood is the 1996 ruling by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that former Attorney General Dan Morales interpreted to effectively end affirmative action in schools receiving federal funding. Truan, vice chair of the Senate Finance Committee, said Morales' interpretation of the ruling was too broad. He added that the Hopwood decision relates solely to admissions at the UT School of Law, not to loans and scholarships. "I am very interested in finding out from the new attorney general whether he is in agreement that the Hopwood case applied to loans and scholarships," Truan said. He added that Morales' opinion may not have as much weight as it has been given. "The former attorney general issued an opinion, which is just an opinion, but unless it's challenged, it has the impact of being the real thing," Truan said. More than 60 Texas law school professors and four deans of schools said they strongly objected to Morales' opinion that the scope of the case includes scholarships and loans, he said. "The opinion is bringing a lot of grief and misery to a lot of minority students that need financial assistance," Truan said. UT System Regent Tom Loeffler said the university is at a disadvantage because of the Hopwood decision at the meeting. "Today we're disadvantaged in the state because everyone else can be attractive to minority students - they can be given scholarships in ways that we cannot give scholarships today based upon the Hopwood case," Loeffler said. "The attorney general welcomes any dialogue that comes about because of new developments." - Heather Browne Spokesperson for Texas Attorney General John Cornyn Ratliff has not commented on whether he would make the request to Cornyn. Heather Browne, spokesperson for Cornyn, said no comment could be made Tuesday because the attorney general had not received any information regarding the request. Browne said Cornyn is willing to discuss the issue of a new opinion upon the arrival of such information. "The attorney general welcomes any dialogue that comes about because of new developments," Browne said. During his 1998 campaign for Attorney General, Cornyn said he supports what he calls "affirmative access," which includes policies making college more available to poor families without considering race. While the Senate debate continues, the university is also currently handling a pending appeal on the Hopwood decision. "We have, as a board, collectively, unanimously, moved forward with the appeal of the Hopwood case," Loeffler said. Patricia Ohlendorf, UT vice president for administration and legal affairs, said the appeal is being handled by the Vinson and Elkins law firm. Cornyn will also be involved in the appeal. "The new attorney general, Mr. Cornyn, has decided that his office will also be active in the case," Ohlendorf said. Ray Farabee, vice chancellor and general counsel for the UT System, said he was not aware of Truan's request for another opinion on the Hopwood case.

Dartmouth College Greek controversy attracts me da By Jeffery Tanenhaus The Dartmouth HANOVER, N.H. - The controversy over the Dartmouth Board of Trustees' historic initiative has captured not only the attention of the Dartmouth community - the story has been thrust into the national media spotlight in the past week, most- ly by newspapers, and radio and television programs drawn to the college's connection to the movie Animal House. The movie, created by Alpha Delta alum Chris Miller '63, *,ased on his experiences at AD while he was a Dartmouth student. Although the conception of unrestrained and bar- barous revelry portrayed in the movie has separated from the reality of Dartmouth Greek life, the stereotype seems to be unshakable and has been the focus of most coverage by the national media. ABC's World News Tonight broadcast a segment on the con- troversy Sunday evening. After spending two days at Dartmouth and interviewing dozens of students and Dartmouth President James Wright, the 10-minute ABC segment focused on the imal House connection and included clips from the movie an interview with Miller. Tara Connell, managing editor of Page 1 for USA Today, said a primary reason for a front page article in the USA Today on the Dartmouth controversy was, "the Animal House connection. We assume a lot of our readers can relate to the Animal House image. "The irony of the coed action was obviously very contrary to the Animal House image," Connell said. According to Connell, "If Animal House had been based on a small mid-western college we probably still would have run the story ... but the fact that it's Dartmouth makes it that much better." Others said even without the Animal House connection, Dartmouth is well-known for its Greek system, making the news of the possible elimination of the single-sex Greek sys- tem of national interest. "Dartmouth is a well known institution, and Greek life his- torically has been a big part of the college, and thus it strikes us as a major change" said Ben Gose, senior editor of the Student Section of The Chronicle of Higher Education. Gose said The Chronicle would have written a story about the Dartmouth controversy even without the Animal House angle, "although for other media, Animal House is part of the appeal." "Forcing fraternities to go coed is a reflection for the frater- nities nationally as another blow to national Greek organiza- tions,"Gose said. PHI DELTS Continued from Page 1. pleaded guilty to all three charges in exchange for not having a charge of possessing false identification pur- sued, said Washtenaw County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Joseph Burke. But the remaining defendants are facing all of the original charges. A video surveillance tape taken at Meijer - where the fraternity members are accused of purchasing the alcohol in October - allegedly shows five Phi Delta Theta fraternity members pur- chasing alcohol with false identifica- tion. Four other fraternity members - LSA sophomores Jared Fishman, Michael Halper, Mike Novick and Evan Frank - were present at the trial but share Addis as their attorney. Addis said there have been no plea bargain offers and they have not asked for a deal. The pre-trial for the 10th Phi Delta Theta member charged in the incident, David Davis, was previously scheduled for March 16. The pre-trial was adjourned until March 16 for various reasons. One factor contributing to the contin- uance is that Phi Delta Theta members Josh Shapiro and Simeon Maleh, both LSA sophomores, have hired new attor- neys. To allow time for the lawyers to become acquainted with the case, the pre-trial date was moved. Addis also requested a later pre-triad date to review the Meijer videotape that is being used against the defendants adding that he has more people to inter- view. Despite the fact that he is reprex senting four of the Phi Delta Theta members, Addis said "each one of these kids should be treated individ- ually" and each case will proceed differently depending on the defen- dant. The sharing of one court day for the pre-trial is only for the convenience of the court, Addis said. -Daily Staff Reporter Gerard Cohen- Vrignaud contributed to this report. GEO Continued from Page 1 what it must have in its contract, GEO will set a deadline for the University to fulfill its requests. Odier-Fink said if GEO's conditions are not met by that dead- line, it would take a job action with the membership's approval. But Odier-Fink added that the deadline will probably not be set until after spring break. "We wouldn't say (on Wednesday) 'Let's go on strike,"' Odier-Fink said. "We're going to give the University the time to satisfy our membership." Odier-Fink said he hopes the University community will put pressure on the administration to reach a settlement with GEO. "The undergraduates and their parents should call the University and tell them to settle this contract," Odier-Fink said. "Let's get this done so we can get on with what we do best - teach.'
