Senate approves $217
n Ilon in student aid
By GEORGE ADAMS
A group of local activists yesterday
said that convicted killer Leo Kelly's
defense attorney will motion for a new
trial during sentencing scheduled for
this morning and vowed to wage a
vigorous campaign protesting what
they call a "racistguilty verdict" in the
case.
University biology graduate student
Joe Graves, an organizer for the
"Committee to Defend Leo Kelly,"
estimated that more than 50 committee
members will jam the Washtenaw
County courtroom to watch as defense
attorney William Waterman motions
for a new trial.
KELLY, A 23-year-old former Un-
versity student, was convicted June 21
of fatally shooting fellow students
Douglas McGreaham, 21, of Caspian,
and Edward Siwik, 19, of Detroit, in the
Bursley Hall dormitory where they all
resided.
"This is not an appeal, but actually a
call for a new trial," Graves said. "Mr.
*Waterman, along with two other
lawyers who have volunteered to help,
are going to file the motion for a new
trial," he added.
According to Graves, Waterman will
base the motion on a claim of
discrimination, citing a polygraph test

In a show of continued support for
federal financial aid programs, the
Senate voted Wednesday night to ap-
prove an additional $217 million in aid
for students this fall.
Of the funds provided for in the sup-
plemental appropriations bill, $140 will
go to the Basic Educational Oppor-
tunity (Pell) Grant (BEOG) Program
and the rest will be added to the Sup-
plemental Educational Opportunity
Grant (SEOG) Program.
TWO WEEKS ago, the House of
Representatives passed a similar bill.
The House bill, however, only called for
an additional $29 million to the BEOG
Program.
The additional SEOG funds were the
result of an amendment sponsored by
Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.).
Before it becomes law, the bill must
go through a Senate and House con-
ference where the funds provided for in
Dodd's amendment will either be ap-
proved or a compromise will be worked
out. It is also subject to presidential
approval.
"It's simply more money," explained

Kelly was forced to submit to, publicity
and comparisons with the Hinckley in-
sanity defense, and the fact that Kelly
was tried by an all-white jury. Kelly's
defense rested on a claim of insanity.
