Defense motions to be heard
Page 9

Pretrial motions will be heard tomorrow in the case of a Lawrence teen-ager charged with aggravated robbery, felony murder and rape in connection with the death of an 80-year-old Lawrence woman.
Donald E. Alexander, 19, of 303 W.
21st St., is charged in connection with
the Aug. 5 death of Marguerite L.
Bourke, a student at her home in
her home at 2100 Tennessee St.
The coroner's report showed that Vinyard had been beaten and sexually assaulted and had died of injuries to her head and chest.
The motions, which were filed by the defense late Tuesday afternoon, include a notice of intent to file a plea of insanity and a motion for a change of venue. Other motions were filed to
exclude oral and written confessions and to disallow evidence that the defense allegations was obtained under illegal search and seizure.
The motions will be presented at 3:30 p.m. in Douglas County District Court.
According to the notice of intent to file a plea of insanity, Alexander is undergoing a complete mental evaluation and will be available to the court Monday.
At a hearing on Sept. 7, Alexander was found competent to stand trial. A clinical psychologist from the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center who had examined him after he entered the center was able to understand the charges against him and assist in his own defense.
In the motion for change of venue, the defense asks that the trial be moved to another jurisdiction because Alexander would be unable to get a fair trial in Douglas County.
The motion says that area newspapers have printed many articles with regard to the case and have used pictures of Alexander.
The motion also says that Alexander "has received articles through the mail which indicate that there is a great hate against the defendant in this jurisdiction."
The other motions renew the defense's claims that evidence was obtained on Aug. 22 through illegal search and seizure and that oral and written confessions made by Alexander that same day were made under duress.
The defense made the same claims during the pretrial hearing on Sept. 19, when authorities presented evidence that they said linked Alexander with Vinyard's death.
Senate to create judicial board
By JOHN HANNA Staff Reporter
A bill to establish a Student Senate version of a Supreme Court was passed last night by the Senate Rights Committee.
The bill would create a seven-member Student Judicial Board that would serve as the judicial branch of the Senate. The board is authorized by the authority in student government for the interpretation of Senate rules.
HIGHBIGER GUARD THE Student Judicial Board was needed because the Senate did not have a judicial branch. Students who
Dennis "Boog" Highberger,
student body vice president, sponsored the bill, which was approved by a voice vote.
want to appeal a decision of the Senate or one of its committees can go only to the University Judicial Board, which makes recommendations to Chancellor Gene A. Budig.
Decisions that would be made by the proposed student board could be appealed the University Judicial Board.
"The U.S. has a judicial system to interpret the law when people have different interpretations of it." Highberger said.
The board would be comprised of students, with three serving one-year terms and four serving staggered two-year terms. Every November, the outgoing student would receive a stipend from the students eligible to serve on the University Judicial Board. Their terms would
begin Jan. 1 and end Dec. 31. The Student Senate Executive Committee would vote on the appointments.
THE STUDENT SENATE appoints members to the University Judicial Board pool, which is made up of about 60 faculty members, administrators, staff and students. The chairman of the board appoints five members to hear an appeal.
Under University Senate rules, the chairman of the Judicial Board can take more than four weeks to consider an appeal.
A Student Judicial Board would save time for the Senate and students with grievances, Highberger said, and it would provide the Senate administration with a board to interpret its rules.

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE... IN PROSECUTION EXPERIENCE
The Douglas County District Attorney must be prepared to prosecute serious felony crimes. JIM FLORY has prosecuted SERIOUS crimes in district court. Murder, sex crimes, arson, sale of drugs, terroristic threats and felony theft are cases that Jim has handled. The other candidate has prosecuted violations of city ordinances only, such as traffic violations and minor offenses.
