Student charged with murder by Katheryn Lenker and Brad Jenkins

« ,

news editors Police arrested a JMU student yesterday and charged him with the Thanksgiving 1995 murder of his sister. JMU police arrested junior Matthew Harper, 21, during his 8 a.m. Sign Language class.

Harper was also charged with the attempted murder of his mother, Elizabeth, and the malicious burning of his mother's Northern Virginia home. Police found Harper's sister, Anne, dead in the Harper family's Burke home on Nov. 23, 1995. The house was "intentionally set" on fire to cover up the stabbing of Harper's 20-year-old sister, who

was a student at Hollins College at the time, according to a press release from the Fairfax County Police Department. Harper's mother and grandmother were in the house at the time of the fire, but were able to escape, according to police records. Police credited the "extensive use of forensic evidence and recently developed

information" for the arrest. Fairfax County Police Department Spokeswoman Cheryl Watson wouldn't elaborate on any new evidence police discovered during their investigation. Harper's defense attorney, Steve Grafman, said his client had nothing to do with Anne Harper's death. see MURDER page 6

Officials express safety concerns JMU Police reject city plan to increase patrol jurisdiction by Brad Jenkins news editor JMU Police officials rejected an offer this week that would have given them more jurisdiction over off-campus student housing, Harrisonburg

Police Chief Donald Harper said yesterday. The proposal presented by HPD would have given JMU Police concurrent jurisdiction over the Port Republic Road corridor, Harper said. But JMU Police officials said they don't have the personnel to agree to such a plan. "Since most of the housing there is student housing, we were requesting concurrent jurisdiction," Harper said. JMU Police Chief Larry

Shifflett said the primary responsibility of the JMU force is patrolling campus, not areas in Harrisonburg populated by students. "That's D. Harper what the city police are for," he said. "We don't have the manpower," Shifflett said. "They [HPD] have a lot more resources than we do." Harper said he is disappoint■»-■-■■.

ed by JMU's decision since the proposal would have alleviated the stress on the department caused by noise and alcohol problems. "Our calls more than double in that area when students come back," he said. About 10 Harrisonburg officers are on duty on weekend evenings, and sometimes all of them are dealing with problems in the Port Republic Road area. "Sometimes everyone we have is see PATROL page 6

Mayor worries about students crossing on South Main St. by Brad Jenkins news editor Students crossing South Main Street near AnthonySeeger Hall are endangering themselves and others, Harrisonburg Mayor Rodney Eagle said this week. "I'm appalled at the way some JMU students cross the streets," Eagle said. "I fear for their safety. We thought we had a solution when we took the crosswalk out." The city council approved the removal of the crosswalk with blinking lights in fall semester 1996 because it said the crosswalk was causing increased traffic and danger. The city also thought the crosswalk wouldn't be needed much longer because JMU officials said offices and classrooms on the west side of South Main Street would be relocated. "I would've liked to see something like [the bridge over Interstate 81 or the one connecting the Rockingham County Jail with the Rockingham County Offices]," Eagle said. "We were told that one day, that wouldn't be necessary." Harrisonburg Police Spokesman Lt. Richard Sites said pedestrian traffic crossing Main Street is "a major problem." "It's just a matter of time before someone gets severely injured," Sites said. "There's see CROSSWALK page 6

show interest in Peace Corps by Claire Gabriel contributing writer Bruce Duty, a recruiter for the Peace Corps, recounted his own experiences as a fisheries volunteer in the Congo to a group of students interested in similar opportunities when they graduate. The presentation, titled "Opportunities with the Peace Corps," held at Taylor Hall on Tuesday, provided students with details on the Peace Corps application process while sharing real-life stories from Peace Corps experiences. "The first goal of the Peace Corps is to send skilled technicians to places in need," Dury said. "Secondly, we want other countries to get to know Americans better." Dury said the third goal of the Peace Corps was to help more Americans understand other cultures. This is realized through an intensive three month training period in which volunteers learn the language and customs of their assigned country, as well as safety and health precautions to assist them in a new environment. "You should expect to be the only volunteer in your village," Dury said. "It's a huge challenge but you will find it very rewarding to win the confidence of the people and begin to truly make a difference in their lives." "The benefits are great," Dury said, "The Peace Corps pays for everything — there is even vacation time." According to Dury, the application process takes approximately nine months to complete. Positions in business-related fields and teacher-trainer jobs are particularly in demand. Over 12,000 applications are received each year, but only about three to four thousand ever end up going overseas. "Many people drop out during the application process," Dury said. "If you are determined to go and your health is generally good, your chances of going are extremely good." To date 212 JMU graduates have participated in the Peace Corps. Thirty JMU graduates are serving currently. "I thought the session was extremely informative," said junior Joey Abramo. "They should have a few more of these information sessions each year to open more students' eyes to international affairs." Senior Blakeley Denkinger also felt the session beneficial. "After listening to the lecture, I was definately interested in volunteering" Denkinger said.

Lady Dukes continue to roll JMU improves to 5-2 after 2-1 victory over rival Virginia Tech Mclntvre by Jason Mclntyrc senior writer

Despite dominating play throughout the match, the JMU Women's soccer team had to come from behind to defeat Virginia Tech, 2-1, Tuesday at Reservoir Street Field.

Junior forward Aimee Grahe stole a pass in the Virginia Tech end, and blasted a shot that deflected into the box, where junior forward Jen Keefe was wide open to knock it in for the game- winner. For the Dukes, the comeback victory was a big win, with three consecutive road games coming up, capped by a trip to CAA-foe American University. Cioffi, the Dukes' leading scorer, is adjusting well

"They [Virginia Tech] came out exactly like I expected," JMU head coach Dave Lombardo said. "When you're playing an interstate rival, pride and bragging rights are at stake. They played like I expected — organized well, and kept good possession [of the ball]." The Hokies, coming off a 5-2 win over Old Dominion University, played the Dukes even for the first 10 minutes. The remainder of the half, the Dukes peppered Hokie goalkeeper Karen Crawley with a total of nine shots. Senior forward Therese Wolden, playing with a broken nose, was one of the main culprits, twice having one-on-one opportunities with the keeper, but coming away empty both times. "We should be more efficient," Lombardo added. "We had a bunch of near misses in the first half and we capitalized in the second half." The midfield tandem of sophomore Christy Yacono and senior Jessica Williams controlled play as the Hokies seldomly crossed midfield the final 30 minutes of the half..

Pizza US, track and field history. A day earlier, in 98-degree heat, she had claimed the 100-meters world record with a 10.49 run in the quarterfinals —

shattering the mark of 10.76 that Ashford had posted four years earlier in Zurich, a huge margin by sprint standards. To put it in perspective, her time was faster than the marks posted by six men on the same track in the same conditions that weekend. No woman has even broken 10.60 since then.

shoulder-length braids pulled back from her prominent cheekbones and almondshaped hazel eyes. The questions weren't nearly as sharp as the speculation. She thanked Bob Kersee for his coaching, her husband Al Joyner for his inspiration, and handled even the most pointed questions with unparalleled patience.

FLORENCE GRIFFITH [OYNER "FLO~JO",

DIED OF A HEART SEIZURE MONDAY. SEPTEMBER

And all of this was even before she competed in the finals of her best event, the 200 meters. The day after the 100 final, she went on to set a world record in the 200 with a 21.34. That record still stands, too. A few world-class athletes, like the great Carl Lewis, have excelled at both the 100 and 200. But to do so is a feat comparable to winning a Gold Glove as a leftfielder one year and a shortstop the next. By the time she walked in to the press tent moments after the 100 final, the track writers had been openly speculating that she had had a chemical assist from steroids. She strolled in wearing a peacockblue, one-legged Spandex singlet, with her

21.

SHANNON BVRKEJconlributing artist

Then she went back to her room to rest up for the next day's record assault. The whispered speculation never stopped. At Seoul that summer, she broke more records and raised more questions with a performance that defied explanation. But Florence Griffith Joyner never failed a steroid test. In the same year when Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson was disqualified for steroid use, the same testers declared FloJo drug-free. As recently as two years ago, when she suffered a heart seizure on a flight from Califprnia to St. Louis, the whispered speculation started anew. There are those

who will raise the question again now in the wake of the apparent heart attack that took her from us Monday. But history must agree that Florence Griffith Joyner, one of the greatest athletes America has ever produced, broke the tape first because she worked harder, ran faster and cared more about being the best than anyone before her. She started breaking from the pack almost at birth. She was one of 11 children born to an electrical technician and schoolteacher in one of the most storied ghettos in America. She was already legendary by the time she left the Watts section of South Central LA for college. By the time she graduated from UCLA, she was well on the way to establishing a reputation as one of the great track and field talents in America. Her silver-medal performance in the 200-meter event at the LA Olympics in 1984 was supposed to be the pinnacle of her career. She retired after that and went to work as a secretary, gaining weight and losing speed at record rates. But she would not let herself accept a finish that she did not script for herself. So she gave us that awesome Olympic summer of '88 when we could not believe our eyes. As late as 19%, she was training for another comeback before an Achilles' injury sidelined her for good. The experts had said the 19% effort was a pipe dream, that a comeback at the age of 37 was so far-fetched it was ridiculous. Maybe so. But I remembered that blinding blur in '88 and I couldn't help wondering. "I gave it my all," she .said back then. It was always more than enough.

Hdp! -Questioning in Hillside Dear Questioning, As a freshman, you may begin to question a lot about yourself and what you've always considered "normal" up to this point in you life. Often times we find ourselves confusing one feeling with another. Maybe you envy all these wonderful things about your roommate and are confusing this with a sexual attraction. Before you make any rash decisions and confess your innermost secrets, think about how your roommate will feel hearing this news. You sound like you are uncomfortable with your feelings. If this is true, I suggest you take a walk to the counseling center and see if someone there can help you sort through your feelings. JMU has wonderful resources to help you adjust to college life and all the changes that will occur. Take advantage of this help.
