LOCAL/S TATE The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, March 7, 2000 - 7 Closing arguments made in date rape drug case * a ,. { .. j DETROIT (AP) - The man accused of lacing Samantha Reid's Mountain Dew with the date-rape drug that killed her did so knowing that it was harmful, a prosecu- tor said in closing arguments in the man's involuntary manslaughter trial. A second girl was sickened after ingest- ing the gamma-hydroxybutyrate - GHB - a colorless, odorless and often tasteless substance. The girls were allegedly given the drug-laced drinks at a party on Jan. 16, 1999. Samantha, 15, died the next day. Melanie Sindone, 16, recovered. Joshua Cole told police that he had once tried the substance he gave the girls, and became ill from it, according to his taped statement replayed in court Monday.

Athlet "I do buy into the notion that the fun- versit damental mission of Michigan is educa- appoin tion," Martin said. "Our student athletes memb are first and foremost in my mind. Yes cial an said that shows he knew it was a potentially harmful substance when he put in the drinks. "He had direct, firsthand experience with it," Baker said. Baker concluded his closing arguments yesterday in Cole's trial. Defense attorneys were scheduled to give closing arguments today. Three other men are charged in the case. Nicholas Holtschlag, 18, and Daniel Bray- man, 18, also are each charged with invol- untary manslaughter and two counts of felony poisoning. Last week, Wayne County Circuit Judge Maggie Drake threw out a felony poisoning charge and the manslaughter charge against the fourth defendant, Erick Limmer, 26. Limmer still faces one charge each of poisoning, delivery of marijuana and pos- session of GHB. Cole has his own jury because he allegedly confessed. He also is charged vwith three counts of felony poisoning. A third girl alleged to have unknowingly ingested GHB was not sickened. Baker said that Cole was "utterly self- ish" and acting out of boredom when he made the drinks. He replayed parts of Cole's taped statement to police, in which Cole says he was "trying to get everybody to liven up," at the party that evening. "He starts this horrific chain of events," Baker told jurors. "This is just done to them so he can have a nicer time. ... "She died because that evening Joshua Cole was "She died because that evening Joshua Cole was bored." - DougBaker Wayne County assistant prosecutor bored." Baker told jurors that on the poisoning counts, they may also consider whether they think Cole is guilty of simply putting the substance in the drinks. But he says he's shown that Cole did so knowing the sub- stance was harmful and would be ingested. Cole, of Southgate, has said he remem- bered that there was a glass of a substance in the refrigerator he believed would enhance alcohol's effects. Cole's attorney has said his client was unaware the sub- stance was GHB. The defense lawyers for the other'three have said their clients had no knowledge that the drinks were laced with GHB.- Baker also suggested that when Cole and the other defendants failed to take immedi- tic Department and the Uni- y administration were strained Goss' resignation. rtin said he hopes to build the image of the department s dealings with administration ans, after Goss' highly publi- resignation. rtin has had experience with the ic Department in the past.

The group met at least once a month in the face of bud- getary issues hovering over the department. "A couple of weeks ago (Bollinger) gave me a call, just talking about the athletic depart- ment," Martin said. "And he just kind of threw out 'and of to be the interim scc Continued from Page 1 Names like Anne Frank, Nat Turner, Geron- imo and "1890 Wounded Knee" were written on the white cardboard signs. They also pasted paper signs over the plaques of several campus buildings - named for former Michigamua members and those associated with the society - like Angell Hall, Shembechler Hall and Yost Ice Arena. Angell Hall was named Angelou Hall, for poet Maya Angelou. SCC renamed Shembech- ler Hall for the late Native American Athlete Jim Thorpe. Routel said the group wanted to rename the buildings for people they feel are more wor- thy of recognition. Speaking from a megaphone on the front steps of Bollinger's home, Reilly explained the purpose of the gathering. "We have arrived at this place today in dec- laration and recognition of the names of all people who have suffered oppression and death, and who have struggled for freedom and justice," Reilly said. "It is the destruction of racism, and the injustice of public subsidization of racist prac- tices that we have come to know so well. In light of these unjust conditions, and in accor- dance with our rites of discovery, we claim stewardship of this land in honor of our ances- tors and in the names of those brave leaders that have guided our people though five cen- turies of colonialism and genocide," Reilly said. Reilly said the University does not have any buildings named after Native Americans fig- ures. "Even though the original land given to this University was Indian land, the University fails to recognize our historical and contempo- rary existence," Reilly said. captains of all sports, both revenue and non-revenue, to help meet their needs. Martin also said he hopes to get the men's basketball team back on the track after the recent NCAA suspension of freshman guard Jamal Crawford, allegations of theft committed by players and a physi- cal altercation between assistant coach Lorenzo Neely and Crawford at practice earlier in the season. Martin said that he has yet to ?meet Brian Ellerbe and therefore could not assess his future as Michigan's basketball coach. "I've never met the man," Martin said. "Am I happy with 50-point losses? No." In addition, Martin said he wants to improve the department's general morale, after relations between the course I'd like you athletic director.' MARJORIE MARSHALL/baily. Members of the Students for Color Coalition renamed certain buildings around campus yesterday including Angell Hall for poet Maya Angelou, for those who they said are more worthy of recognition. - "I didn't really think I heard him correctly when he said that frankly, because that was not on my radar scope to do this job whatsoever." There will be no differences in duties between Martin's interim job and a long-term athletic director. Mar- tin said that was one of his wishes before he accepted the position. Martin also said that he would not take a salary from the Universi- ty and does not look to make it his permanent position. He said he accepted the role of interim athletic director as payback to the Universi- ty community. Bollinger said he hopes that a new permanent athletic director will be in place before the start of fall semester. "Our voices have been ignored and silenced on this campus." Michigamua spokesman Nick Delgado said he saw the graveyard on Bollinger's front lawn yesterday, adding that he believed it was inap- propriate. "It's not the issue here. Michigamua is com- mitted to a fair and equitable process regard- ing the space," Delgado said. "We are not going to play games with the SCC." On Sunday, Reilly e-mailed Delgado an SCC proposal that called for Michigamua to change their name and to make a formal apol- ogy at the Ann Arbor Pow Wow on March 24- 26. Delgado replied yesterday that Michigamua could not agree to the requests and that several issues needed to be addressed regarding the SCC's protest methods. Delgado said that the SCC has unfairly labeled Michigamua members as racist and that this wrongly hurts current group mem- bers. "The SCC has to make it clear to the Uni- versity that they have misinformed the public with their tours, their literature and multiple discussions with different constituencies on campus," Delgado said. Delgado added that if the SCC made=such statements then the process to a resolution could be made more public. Reilly said he was disappointed that Michigamua members did not agree to a name change. "That's central to them redefining their organization," Reilly said. iJOIN PEACE ORIENTED Income-sharinw c()op trying to have smart kids.

MSA Continued from Page 1 campus such as building a national civil rights movement, reversing the drop in minority enrollment and supporting affirmative action. "MSA should be a leading force in the emerging civil rights move- ment. We've had people on since last fall and we've really trans- formed what MSA is. It shouldn't be a training ground for politicians," Curtin said. "We also support a tuition freeze, ending the scapegoat of fraternities and defending the occupation of the Union," she added. But Education junior Carolyn Jones, who is the only candidate running for the position of Educa- tion chair, said the Friends Rebelling Against Tyranny party said she would like to lighten the atmosphere of MSA. "I'm very excited because the FRAT Party should finally get a "MSA should be a leading force in the emerging civil rights movement." - Jessica Curtin Defend Affirmative Action Party vice presidential candidate Li seat. We want to inject levity into MSA because they take themselves way too seriously. We also want to build our resumes," said Jones, who is one of the party's eight members. "MSA needs to stop passing reso- lutions because they do no good. It's a nice thought but they're not doing anything., We'd like to improve the dorm food including serving more pizza and having keg nights," she added. While there are seven parties for candidates to join, some students are braving it alone. Engineering senior Dan Haugh is running for one of the three engineering seats as an inde- pendent candidate. "A few of the parties seemed one issued or cliquish. I'm doing it for fun and to get some issues out there. I'd like to see MSA more involved in student life," Haugh said. But Glen Roe, who is currently an LSA representative and Elise Erick- son, who served as an MSA repre- sentative during the Winter 1999 semester, are running with the Blue Party for MSA president and vice president. "We're basically focusing on a few big things like student health concerns and student academics. We have a great group of students repre- senting every populace," Erickson said.
