Rutgers bans greek parties after freshman pledge dies
The Associated Press
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. — Ursens University has banned fraternity and sorority parties pending an investigation into the death of a freshman after a drinking party, officials said.
Middlesex County Prosecutor Alan A. Rockoff said he would meet with investigators today to determine if charges would be filed in the death of James C. Callahan, 18, of North Bergen.
Callahan died Friday after a pledging ceremony at Lambda Chi Alpha and a celebration in which a "tremendous amount" of liquor was consumed, Rockoff said.
An autopsy Saturday indicated that fluid and congestion in Callahan's lungs led to circulatory and respiratory failure, but did not determine if alcohol played a part in his death, Rockoff said.
Rutgers administrators Saturday told fraternities and sororites to cancel parties and closed Lambda
Chi Alpha pending results of the investigation of Callahan's death, a school spokesman said Sunday.
Another student who attended the party said pledges were told by fraternity members "to drink until you were sick," according to a published report.
John Deliso set the Central New Jersey Home News of new Brunswick that fraternity members "kind of had bags on" to catch vomit.
Deliso was treated for several hours at St. Peter's Medical Center for an alcohol-related illness after the party.
Rockoff has said that although drinking was not mandatory, many participants were under the state's legal drinking age of 21.
Callahan and 13 other students were invited to join the fraternity during a brief ceremony Thursday night, said Peter Hendricks, an attorney representing his former fraternity.
Students gather support for building takeover
The Associated Press
AMHERT. Mass. - Minority students occupying a University of Massachusetts building for a fourth day to protest campus racism won the support of some white students and faculty yesterday.
The more than 100 students who took over New Africa House on Friday were to meet with Chancellor Joseph Duffey yesterday to discuss their concerns, but the session was
canceled because Duffey left campus to visit a brother who was ill. The meeting was rescheduled for today.
After becoming aware of the illness, the protesters sent Duffey a sympathy card signed by more than 200 students. Duffey responded by sending the protesters a fruit basket and a card that read: "I send affection and respect." University spokesmen refused to disclose details of the illness.
Classes scheduled for New Africa House today will be moved to other buildings because the university does not plan to evict the students. Also, several faculty members refused to teach there during the protest, university spokesman James Langley said.
The takeover was sparked by the alleged beating last weekend of two black students by six whites after a dormitory party.
Frank Tripoli, a member of a group of graduate students organizing a movement to have white students and faculty wear black arm bands as a symbol of support for the protest, said he hoped more whites on campus would join the effort.
"It's a symbolic gesture, but the racism on campus has gone on for too long and is far too prevalent," Tripoli said. "It's time to begin putting an end to it."
