CORRECTIONS
. A news article in yesterday
edition of the Daily (Stonum
receives sentencefor Sept.
alcohol-related charge), incor-
rectly reported that Stonum
had received his sentence
yesterday. The reporter
incorrectly inferred that the
sentence had been decided
after Stonum's lawyer said
that he would not discuss the
details of the sentence. The
decision on a sentence was
postponed until next month.
