The Michigan Daily - Thursday, June 16,;1983- Page 3 Bursley victim's family repaid By KAREN TENSA The family of a University student killed in the Bur- sley shootings two years ago will receive $1,499 in compensation from a state board. Special legislation passed last week in the State House of Representatives granted the payment to the family of Douglas McGreaham, who was shot to death April 17, 1981. MCGREAHAM, A resident advisor at Bursley, and freshman Edward Siwik were shot and killed when Leo Kelly threw a firebomb into the dormitory corridor and opened fire into the smoke with a sawed- off shotgun. Kelly is now serving a life sentence without a parole at the State Prison of Soutjbern Michigan at Jackson. A year and two days after McGreaham's death, his parents filed a claim with the Crime Victims Compen- sation Board, hoping to collect partial repayment for McGreaham's funeral expenses. The board, established in 1977, compensates victims and their families for costs not covered by insurance. Medical and burial costs are the usual basis for claims, which are limited to $15,000. 'The money doesn't make me any happier - it won't bring Doug back.' -Rosemary McGreaham, mother of murdered student BUT CLAIMS must be filed within one year of a crime, and since the McGreahams were two days late, the request was denied. "The McGreahams were so devastated by the loss of their son, they couldn't fill out the forms for a long time," said Lynwood Noah, Washtenaw County Prosecutor, who originally told the McGreahams about the compensation board. Noah, the prosecutor in the case against Kelly, then contacted House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dominic Jacobetti (D-Negaunee) and asked him to help waive the deadline. He also ap- proached Perry Bullard (D-Ann Arbor) who agreed to push the claim through the legislature. TE MCGREAHAM'S claim hit another snag last winter, however, when state officials proposed eliminating the compensation board to save money. Blanchard later withdrew his proposal to cut the program, Bullard said, because of the "public out- cry." THIS CLEARED the way for the bill to pass the Senate and House, which waived the board deadline and gave the family their compensation. The family has been told they will receive the money soon. Bullard said that the money must go through the State Office of Management and Budget, and the Treasury before the McGreahams will get it. "The money doesn't make me any happier - it won't bring Doug back," said McGreaham's mother. She added they would use the money to start a college fund for their fourteen-year-old son Dan. "He used to want to go to Michigan," McGreaham's mother said. "But Ann Arbor now has such terrible memories that he won't go to Michigan." Timing is key for healthy tantrums, prof says By JACKIE YOUNG After failing two final exams you feel sick to your stomach anticipating your parent's reaction. The four-hour plane trip home ends with news that the airlines lost all of your luggage - and you don't have insurance. When your parents meet you at the airport along with several old friends the frustration reaches its peak. You are rude and make snide remarks to your mother - and the week's vacation is off to a miserable start. SITUATIONS such as this one can be avoided if you learn how to express anger constructively, says University psychologyProf. Ernest Harburg. When students let resentment build for long periods of time, blood pressure can rise to an unhealthy level, says Harburg who headed a study of 3,000 Metropolitan Detroit residents to see how they handle anger. "Part of maintaining a healthy relationship with the people you work with or live with in the dorms or anywhere is learning to constructively arrange for an enjoyable cooperation in order to get somethings done," says Harburg, a research scientist in the departments of epidemiology and psychology. "SUDDEN outbursts of anger can be dealt with as if they were just a grievance being pointed out by another." Several situations, however, discourage expressing anger, says Harburg. For example, if a student gets angry at a professor it would be best to express their feelings constructively and rationally.
