Rape . .0 victim testifies in court By REBECCA COX During a pre-trial investigation Tuesday morning, the victim of an alleged rape by a University student delivered testimony regarding her sexual assault in March. Griffith Neal, a Phi Gamma Delta fraternity member and student in a University professional prog - ram, was accused by a 21-year-old sorority woman and University student of engaging in "sexual penetration... causing personal in - jury of said victim and using force of coercion to accomplish sexual penetration" last month. Neal, who pleaded "not guilty" to charges of first degree criminal sexual conduct last month, is facing up to life imprisonment if found guilty. The trial date is set for May 12. At the pre-trial hearing before Fifteenth District Court Judge G.W. Alexander, the woman stated that she sustained a 3-5 centimeter tear in the rear wall of her vagina, as well as bruising of arms, hips, and legs from the assault. She wept as she described the incident. Neal was silent throughout her testimony, but smiled occasionally. In Neal's defense, Attorney Steven Boak said his client was not guilty because the validity of the woman's testimony was in ques - tion. At the trial, the defense will contest the truth of the woman's statement. The alleged rape took place in a second floor loft of Neal's fraternity in the early morning of Thursday, March 19 after the woman had finished practicing a dance routine for Greek Week.

Undergraduate Initiative funding delayed till June By MARTHA SEVETSON A hearing originally scheduled last month to determine if academic sanctions would be taken against two University students will not be conducted over the summer, accor - ding to the attorney representing the students, Jonathon Rose. Rose said he reached an agreement with Sallyanne Payton, a law school professor and one of two members of the commission ap - pointed to hear the racial incidents, to postpone the hearings until at least fall term. LAST MONTH University President Harold Shapiro called for the commission to plan a trial for LSA junior Ted Severansky and LSA sophomore Peter Gonzalez, the students responsible for the WJJX racial incident. "Student activism made a very important difference in causing the University to indefinitely postpone this hearing," Rose said. "The students' clearheadedness in not' reacting to racism as censorship, but not endorsing either racism or censorship is very impressive." Members of the University community have called the hearing a form of the proposed code of non- academic conduct. The Michigan Student Assembly and Represen - tative Perry Bullard (D-Ann Arbor) have strongly opposed the trial. BULLARD issued a statement on April 16 that stated the hearing procedures were in conflict with fundamental democratic values. But University administrators maintain that the propsed hearing was not intended to set a precedent for implementation of a code. "I think (the hearing procedure) is appropriate in this particular case, but we need a different process for handling these cases in the long term," Vice president of Govern - mental Relations Richard Kennedy said. Kennedy is also a member of the commission. MSA Vice president Rebecca Felton said the fall postponement was an accomplishment, but added that student apathy may allow the University to impose a code at that time. "If theshearing goes through when the students are around and there is not much opposition, it will be an easier transgression for them to slide right into the code," Felton, an LSA senior, said. The University Council, a committee charged with the responsibility of drafting a code, failed to take a stand on the controversy over the appointed commission. By BRIAN BONET and MARTHA SEVETSON Therselection panel for the University's $1 million Under- graduate Initiative has delayed allocating funds until the end of the month because the panel received more proposals than anticipated, according to. Vice-President for Academic Affairs and Provost James Duderstadt. The panel expected to get less than 100 proposals from faculty, staff, and students, but instead received approximately 150. According to Duderstadt, the unex- pected amount did not allow the board adequate time to review each submission before the May 1 deadline. "There may be ways to fund projects beyond the $1 million we intended to put in," said Duderstadt. "We already have particular funds available." The proposals include ideas for curriculum changes, enlarged coun- seling services, on-line computer access to scheduling and health information, SUMMERJOBS Counselors and Specialists Beautiful Coed Sleepaway Camp in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains Salary Range: $700.00 - $1,800.00 Living Judaism at its Best For further information, contact: NEW JERSEY YMHA-YWHA CAMPS 21 Plymouth Street Fairfield, New Jersey 07006 (201) 575-3333 !SUNNINGIT Special Offer Withthepurchaseof apairof runningshoes Runnigg Fit (212 E Washington) will pay your entry fee into the run.
