Testimony wraps up in Olathe free-speech case
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A federal judge is expected to decide within a month whether a school district's ban on a novel about homosexuality violates students' free-speech rights.
U. S. District Judge Thomas Van贝bber heard the final witnesses Wednesday in the case brought by several students, their parents and a biology teacher against the Olathe School District.
The case was filed after the removal of the novel "Annie on My Mind" from the Olathe South High School library after it was donated in 1993 by a gayadvocacy group. A copy already had been in the
library for years.
Richard Marriott, one of four school board members who voted for the ban, testified Wednesday that he was somewhat offended by the nature of the book. Marriott said that he found the novel to be predictable and that it glorified the homosexual lifestyle
SUNA lifestyle.
The critically acclaimed book, about students who fall in love, was written in the late 1970s by Massachu-
setts writer Nancy Garden. She testified earlier in the trial, which began Sept. 20.
School board president Bob Drummond, a psychologist, testified last month that he considered homosexuality a mental disorder similar to schizophrenia or depression.

Brad Harker, 20, is recovering from severe head injuries in a Columbus, Ohio, hospital. His father, Jay Harker of Lawrence, said doctors at Ohio State University Medical Center might release his son Oct. 13.
Brad Harker, a K-State baseball player, was staying at Triangle fraternity house on the Ohio State campus while playing in a summer baseball league.
He lost four teeth in the July 16 attack, which still is being investigated by police.
He has been in a rehabilitation at the hospital since Sept. 22 and must continue to improve in order to be released by Oct. 13, his father said.
"He knows the things he's doing well and the things he needs to work on," Jay Harker said. "He's up walking totally by himself. He's walking outdoors. He's in great shape."
Brad Harker will continue outpatient treatment when he returns to Kansas, his father said.

NOVOSIBIRSK, Russia — Russian paleontologists have discovered a dinosaur graveyard in Siberia that may contain the bones of previously unknown prehistoric animals.
