Four of infamous group plead guilty to 1975 murder
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Four former members of the Symbionese Liberation Army agreed to plead guilty to murder yesterday in the shotgun slaying of a bank customer during a 1975 holdup and will get six to eight years each in prison.
The four are: William Harris; his ex-
wife, Emily Montague; Michael Bortin;
and
and Sara Jane Olson, who is already serving time in prison for a 1975 attempt to bomb two Los Angeles police cars.
They were charged with first-degree murder but agreed to plead guilty to second-degree murder in a deal with prosecutors to avoid a possible sentence of life in prison.
They were arrested last January in the slaying of Myrna Opsahl, a 42-year-old housewife who was gunned down while depositing her church collection at Crocker National Bank in suburban Sacramento.
A fifth person was charged in the bank robbery, 55-year-old James Kiligore, but he has been a fugitive since 1976.
All five belonged to the 1970s revolutionary group that kidnapped newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst.
Concern growing in N.Y. over low test scores
ALBANY, N.Y.—School superintendents across New York are offering letters to students that urge college admissions officers to ignore the surprisingly low scores in a statewide physics exam earlier this year.
"We believe the physics Regents exam grade to be suspect," according to the letter obtained yesterday from the state Council of School Superintendents. The group complains the state's scoring method designed to give more points for harder questions was "flawed."
An accompanying letter from the association to its members states: "We further realize that the letter may have the unintended consequence of undermining the credibility of our Regents exams" but the need to protect students outweighed those concerns.
The superintendents' letter comes at a time when 10 school districts are suing to raise the scores on the test taken by about 40,000 students in June.

Duke University replaces honorary gargoyles
DURHAM, N.C. — The stone gargoyles perched atop the doors to Duke University's new Gothic dormitory were meant to surprise and honor two wealthy donors.
The university succeeded at surprise: Aubrey and Kathleen McClendon, who gave $5.5 million to build the dorm, were shocked to find their own likenesses staring down from the hall that bears their name.
be taken down at the couple's request
"They were grateful," said Peter Vaughn, spokesman for Duke's development office. "They just didn't approve of the way we showed our appreciation."
So shocked that the sculptures will
The caricatures resemble bobblehead dolls, with oversized smiling heads and tiny bodies.
The sculptures of Aubrey McClendon, a 1981 graduate and CEO of Chesapeake Energy Corp. in Oklahoma City, and his wife, Kathleen, a 1980 graduate, will remain on McClendon
Tower until new ones are crafted to replace them, university officials said. A plaque will honor the couple instead.
In addition to the gift to Duke's charitable trust, the McClendons' have given other gifts to the university, including a $1 million donation to the Duke Basketball Legacy Fund.
The McClendons were traveling yesterday and could not be reached for comment, Chesapeake Energy said. A message left at McClendon's office was not returned.
