Med Center libel jury resumes deliberations
By ROSEMARY INTFEN Staff Reporter
The jury in the civil libel trial of four former University of Kansas Medical students will receive a medical facsimile will reconvene at 9 a.m. today. The jury received from deliberation shortly before 5 p.m. yesterday, according to a reporter County district court report.
The trial, presided over by Judge W. Hearn, was against Scarpelli's second attempt to prove his claim of libel. The case was first tried in February of 1978 but was declared a victory.
Scarpelli, a former University of Kansas Medical Center professor, alleged that he was bitled by his former brother. He also accused the former affirmative action officer
Closing arguments and jury instructions were given yesterday morning before the jury went into deliberation.
NEITHER SCARPELLI'S lawyer or the defendants' lawyer could be reached yesterday for comment.
Scarpelli, former pathology department chairman at the Med Center, filed the suit in 1975 against four students and Chester Rempson, the affirmative action attorney, for $275,000 from each of the five defended.
The four students filed a written complaint in April 1974 alleging discrimination by Scarpelle against black women and the label suit resulted from the complaint.
The students had asked for Scarpelli's dismissal but a hearing before the Med School on Wednesday after the four students walked out of the hearing before its conclusion.
THE ORIGINAL five counts of libel were reduced to one count during the first trial.
Judge Leo Moroney, who presided at the first trial, ruled that there was insufficient evidence to make a decision on the charges.
Carpelli resigned from his position at the Med Center in 1975 and is currently the chairman of the pathology department at the Western University in Evansville, IL.
The KU Legal Services Board discussed yesterday recommending that the legal services attorney be allowed to represent KU students in litigation.

Legal Services debates student representation
Staff Reporter
The legal services program is currently in phase 1, which allows its attorney, Steve Ruddick, to give advice and make lawyer referrals.
When the administration approved phase I last March, it said the program should be reviewed after one year before re-evaluation what changes should be made for phase II.
The board wants to move ahead and make phase II recommendations to the Student Senate in January.
Steve Leben, legal services board chairman, said that neither the board, the Senate, or the administration was committed to a specific prosebion beyond phase 1.
A phase II proposal from last year, if approved, would retain the services provided in phase I and include legal assistance in incidents in misidentified traitors and civil suits.
She said she was concerned about landlord-tenant cases and that it was more justifiable to spend student activity fees on student complaints.
Margaret Berlin, student body president,
said "The way phase II is now, the attorney
has to handle defense cases. If that were our only
choice, we would serve students who have done something
Ruddick said "A landlord can't put anyone out by force so it is up to the tenant to initiate legal action."
wrong or who are in a position where they have to prove their innocence."
Berlin said she wanted the board to make a phase II recommendation before she left office in February.
"We don't know who will fill my position but he will have a lot of influence on the project," he said. "Now new we know to explain our position all over again."
Ruddick said, "In terms of our case load and assistance, there is no problem with moving toward phase II."
Leben said the board had to make a comprehensive review of the program and the requirements of the Student Senate. The recommendation would also have to be approved by the ad-
Berlin suggested that the board should include outside participants when preparing the review, such as a member of the Kansas Board of Regents.
"I think our recommendation may be viewed as not being the most neutral.
Neutrality may be perceived as being pretty important here," she said.
Ruddick said, "An outside participant in the review committee would have value. It would add credibility to whether the board is working or not."
The review would include a statistical summary of the number and type of cases that legal services had handled. Ruddick reviewed a six-month summary at the meeting.
However, Leben said Ruddick's statistics needed to be more specific because they did not tell how many cases Ruddick received that would have required litigation.
In other business, the board voted to
command the President to step levy on
the reclassification be reclassified from
secretary I to a secretary II. This
reclassification would involve a $82 million
expense.

Aak, with its delicate melodies and enchanting, subtle dance movements, was a favorite of the Yi dynasty court, Tsubaki said.
