No. 138 Coroner Terms Death Of Engineering Student Apparent Case of Suicide The death of Arthur Derrick (12th-aerospace engineering-New ark, N.J.) at approximately 8 a.m. Thursday has been termed an "apparent suicide by hanging!' by Centre County Coroner W. Robert Neff. The incident marked the third suicide by a University student since the beginning of last fall term. A sophomore woman jumped to her death from the roof of a residence hall in the East halls area Sept. 23, and a junior died after jumping from a Pollock ‘A’ corridor window Nov. 24. According to Neff, Derrick’s body was found by Ellwood Kerkeslager (12th-electrical engi neering-Jonestown), a residence hall counselor in an adjoining area. The coroner said the body was found hanging from a clothes closet bar in Derrick's room. Two friends of Derrick, George Doherty (12th-agricultural and biological science-Wood-R idg e, N.J.) and Marc Apter (9th-elec trical engineering-Union, N.J.) asked Kerkeslager to check Der rick’s room because the latter hadn’t been seen during the day. Derrick was described by friends as a “good, hard-working” student, with no apparent scholas tic problems, and as an “outstand ing” student in the advanced Air Force ROTC program. He would have received his bachelor of science degree and a commission Garvey Wins Title Of Miss Centre County Centre County found a new queen last night, 20-year-old Kathleen J. Garvey.
