Kelly trial sent By BILL SPINDLE A University administrator announced yesterday that a tuition increase of at least 15 percent and possibly as much as 20 percent can be expected for the next academic year. The announcement, given by Univer- sity Vice President for Academic Af- fairs Billy Frye in a report to the University Regents, was the first estimate administrators have set for the 1982/83 year tuition. "GIVEN OUR already very high tuition rates, and the history of the past decade ... it is difficult to propose yet a further increase in the student's share of our costs. Yet, considering the alter- natives, it appears we shall have no other choice," Frye said. He said that at least a 15 percent tuition increase would be needed by the University to make up for lost state allocations - which have failed to rise even close to the rate of inflation - and to support an adequate faculty salary to jury said. "Just because it's a senseless crime does not mean its a blameless crime,' he said. Kelly, 23, faces two counts of first degree murder for the 1981 shootings of Douglas McGreaham and Edward Siwik in the 6th floor Bursley hallway where all three were residents. "Leo Kelly does not believe he is mentally ill," Waterman said. "If this man had any sense, any sanity, then or now, he would not have presented him- self the way he did" to the psychiatrists and psychologists who examined him. WATERMAN said that "Kelly was going over the edge," at the time of the shootings. Both attorneys made considerable See KELLY'S, Page 10 program for the next academic year. Although the state has yet to decide on the size of the budget appropriation for higher education, Frye said that the administration's "best estimate" was a 0 percent increase in dollars for the University. With inflation rising at nearly 6 percent the state ap- propriation the same as last year's means an actual loss of revenue for the University. IN ADDITION, the University has had $1 million effectively cut from its budget because of the lack of interest earned from the $19 million fourth quarter payment the state withheld from the University. Administrators are still concerned about the state's ability to eventually repay the borrowed money. Frye said he firmly believes that a faculty salary increase at least equal to the rate of inflation is "urgently required."

After a month- long trial that began more than a year after two students were murdered in a University dormitory, the fate of ac- cused murderer Leo Kelly is in the han- ds of a jury that will begin deliberations this morning. Claiming that sympathy toward Leo Kelly should have no bearing on the jury's decision, Prosecuting Attorney Lynwood Noah gave his closing arguments yesterday at the trial of the man accused of last year's Good Friday slayings of two students at Bursley Hall. "THIS IS A tragic case," Noah said, "but you as jurors cannot take it tragically. There is absolutely no reason for you (the jury) to be sym- pathetic toward Leo Kelly." Before a packed courtroom, defense attorney William Waterman, in his closing remarks yesterday, accused Noah of "trying to empassion" the jury against his client. "This incident was senseless and tragic,' Waterman said, later describing Kelly as "a tragic vic- tim." In his closing address, Noah scoffed at the claim by the defense that Kelly was insane at the time of the shootings. "The defense is pleading temporary in- sanity. Thatsounds like immunity for a day," he said. "MR. KELLY is sane, he is guilty of the murder, with premediation and deliberation, and we ask you to return a verdict of guilty for both counts," Noah Waterman ... calls Kelly 'tragic victim' Mysterious scholar' arrested at W. Quad By GREG BRUSSTAR A man who had claimed he was an "artist in residence" at Syracuse University and who had sat in on several University communications courses was arrested yesterday in his West Qtad room. Apparen- tly neither his credentials-nor the checks he had written to "help out" University undergraduates- was legitimate. The man, who had given his name as "Dr. Donald Clay," was arrested yesterday in Cambridge House for passing bad checks, but not before he had managed to give what was by all accounts a convin- cing portrayal of a visiting professor with a warm heart and open pocketbook. "WE FOUND no academic credentials that he claimed to be correct," Walt Stevens, the Univer- sity's director of security said of Clay. "We suspect that he's involved in questionable activities throughout the United States." Stevens said Clay was wanted in Florida for "violation of check laws." On Tuesday, according to a secretary in the com- munications department office, Clay walked into the department office, presented a business card from Syracuse University, and asked if he could sit in on some classes. The secretary, Alexandra Cun- ningham, said she directed Clay to a telecom- munications class taught by Profs. Frank Beaver and - Hazen Schumacher. "Beaver introduced him (Clay) and he stayed for the class period while I talked," said Schumacher. "At the end of the class, I asked him if he had any comments to make and what he said seemed to make some sense." Schumacher also said that Clay spoke See MYSTERIOUS, Page 3
