Jury selection process upheld,
students still exempt from duty
Most University students will remain exempt from
possible jury selection in the trial of Subramanyam
Vedam, 21, charged with first-degree murder.
In a decision made yesterday, Centre County Judge
Charles C. Brown Jr. upheld the county's current
selection process saying there was no evidence that
students had been systematically excluded from jury
duty
Defense Attorney Amos Coodall argued Friday that
the selection process based on a February 1982 list for
January 1983 excludes students and young people from
jury duty. He said by the time students receive a
summons to appear for possible jury duty, they have
either graduated and or moved out of the area.
Jury Commissioner Anna Lose, testifying on the
defense's behalf, said that only one summons out of 11
sent to those with University Park addresses was
delivered. However, Brown said the defense had not
proved a sufficent case of systematic discrimination of
a distinctive class University students.
In a telephone conversation late yesterday, Goodall
Panhel elects new officers
Delegates to the Panhellenic Council last night elected
new executive officers for the positions of president, vice
president, secretary and treasurer.
Ann Shaffer of Chi Omega sorority, who ran unopposed,
was elected , the new Panhel president.
"I'm looking forward to a great year as Panhel presi
dent," she said.
The biggest project before the council right now is
preparing for expanded colonization, she said.
Current Panhel president Sheri Barden, who will be
replaced by Shaffer in Spring Term, said the first step in
the long process will be to prepare letters that will be sent
to the nine national sororities not located on campus.
By the end of the process, only one sorority, if it is voted
for by the council delegates, will start a colony at the
University, Barden said.
The vice presidenct was elected after a three-round vote

said University students compose about 14 percent of
Centre County's 88;000 citizens eligible to register for
duty. Of this 14 percent, Goodall said only five percent
still live at the same address. •
Also, yesterday Brown delayed his decision on grant
ing bail for Vedam. In court last week, Brown said he
will review the transcript of Vedam's preliminary
hearing to determine if the prosecution presented a
sufficent case in proving the existence of an aggravat
ing factor.
Aggravating factors include, but are not limited to,
killing by contract, death by means of torture and
homicides committed in the course of a felony. '
Brown denied Vedam bail last September, but state
Superior Court Judge Edmund Spaeth 'ruled that he is
entitled to bail if the state fails to prove the existence of
an aggravating factor.
Vedam, who is charged with the Dec. 1980 murder of
Thomas E.P. Kinser, is in Centre County Prison
awaiting his trial, which begins Jan. 31.
because of a tie in the first and second balloting rounds.
Chosen as vice president was Debbie Spatilder of Sigma
Delta Tau sorority, who will take over the duties of Jackie
Naginey.
A second vote was also needed in the election for
treasurer because of a tie in the first ballot. Lynne Petter
of Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority was elected the new
treasurer. She will take over the position now held by Amy
Klein.
Holly Allen of Delta Delta Delta sorority was elected
secretary and will replace Ann Reinhard in that position.
Nominations were reopened before each position was
voted on but there were no last-minute nominees.
All the newly-elected officers will begin their terms in
office the first week of Spring Term.

Sky walks trial canceled
Hyatt hotel suit settled out of court forslo million
By MARK PETERSON
Associated Press Writer
KANSAS CITY, Mo. A federal trial aimed at •
finding out who was responsible for the collapse of sky
walks at the Hyatt Regency Hotel was canceled
yesterday after victims agreed to a $lO million
settlement.
The tentative agreement was reached Sunday night
and announced yesterday as the class-action trial was
about to begin. It provides a way of resolving the last
six lawsuits remaining in federal court.
A few cases still are unresolved in state court, but
none of those is expected to result in a trial over
responsibility for the disaster.
. "This was a very complex and involved case, and the
fact that itis settled is a wonder in itself," said U.S.
District Judge Scott 0. Wright, who still has to approve
the plan for it to become final.
"This is one of the biggest, if not the biggest damage
suit, that's ever been handled in this country," the
judge said
The collapse of the two sky walks onto the crowded
lobby of the hotel July 17, 1981, killed 114 people and
injured more than 200. It spawned lawsuits seeking a
total of $3 billion in damages. _
The federal settlement is similar to one that has been
approved in Jackson 'Circuit Court, where most of the
sky walk suits were filed. About 1,200 people had
collected nearly $5O million by late last week under that
settlement.
Under the agreement announced yesterday, the hotel
owners would establish a $3.5 million damage - fund and
make $6.5 million in contributions to Kansas City
agencies as a "healing gesture."
The designers and contractors had been named as
defendants in the federa t l suit, but Hallmark Cards Inc.
and its subsidiary, Crown Center Redevelopment
Corp., which owns the hotel, accepted liability for
actual damages as part of the settlement.
The National• Bureau of Standards found that the
collapse occurred because of a design change that
altered the way the sky walks were suspended from the
ceiling. No company has ever acknowledged ordering
the design change.
Most of the lawsuits filed in the case have been
resolved through out-of-court settlements. The state
cases generally involved victims from the Kansas City
area, and the federal 'cases involved those from out of"
state. •
Attorneys said about 20 people belonged to the
federal class action and will be covered by the
settlement. Six of those people had lawsuits pending,
including one suit.involving a death.
Wright announced the settlement in a
packed with lawyers, reporters and prospt.
The judge ordered lawyers not to discus:.
settlement, and scheduled a hearing for Jat.
A spokesman for Hallmark said the companies, were
pleased with the agreement.
"While the court has asked that details of the
proposed settlement not be discussed until the final
hearing, we are happy to endorse this agreement," Bill
Johnson said. "It is the fruit of long and difficult
negotiations."
Attorneys for the plaintiffs had pushed for a trial so
that responsibility for the disaster could be established.
The plaintiffs' attorneys did not answer yesterday
when asked why they settled.
The settlement creates a fund of $3.5 million for
payment of awards equivalent to punitive damages.
Only claimants awarded actual damages through
arbitration or individual trials would be eligible for
additional damages from that fund.
Plaintiffs who were not seriously hurt but suffered
"emotional distress" by witnessing the disaster are
entitled to a $l,OOO payment after waiving any further
claims against defendants.
Hallniark agreed that over the next few years it
would contribute to such Kansas City i agencies as the
Truman Medical Center Medical Foundation, the city's
weatherizing program and the Kansas City Zoo.
"Hallmark makes these contributions as a healing
gesture to help Kansas City to put the tragedy of the .
sky walks collapse behind it," a summary of the
settlement said. "These contributions are neither an
admission of any fault nor a punishment:"

Alumni group names director
By MARCY MERMEL
Collegian Staff Writer
For the first time, the executive director of the Universi
ty's Alumni Association Executive Board will not be a
Penn State alumnus. However, William J. Bothwell does
not believe he should be judged solely by his alma mater.
The new executive director, who was elected by the
board Saturday, said he believes his professional record
indicates he is qualified for the job. Rothwell is now the
executive director of the Alumni Association of the Uni
veisity of New Hampshire.
Rothwell, who will become the director in March, said
he finds Perin State "an outstanding academic institution
(that) has a national and international reputation for
excellence."
He said the University will give him .the opportunity to
go with a well-established alumni program. He said his
goal as director would be to do everything possible to help
the program to continue to grow until it "hopefully
becomes the best alumni association in the country." The

association is already among the best in the nation„he
said.
Programs at the University of New Hampshire that
Rothwell said could be implemented at Penn State include
a distinguished teaching award.
Rothwell said he would also like to see faculty members
and students become more involved in the Alumni Asso
ciation. If students have positiye experiences with their
teachers they will remember the University in .a better
light, he said.
And if students become involved in the association
before they graduate they will be more likely to become
members, he said. The Alumni Association has about 60,-
000 members.
Current Executive Director Ross B. Lehman, who will
retire in March, said, "I think the alumni, association is
always trying to keep pace with the affairs of the Univeri
ty community."
Because the University's graduating classes are becom
ing larger, the association will have to adjust to a younger
membership, he said. An average of one in every 100
Pennsylvanians has graduated from Penn Stale.
