Kappa Alpha Order fraternity placed on 90 day suspension
years. Violation of the new sanctions, Dennis said, would cause the university to revoke Kappa Alpha's charter.
Fraternity members can live in the house during suspension, though they cannot participate in social or athletic activities — including rush — or initiate pledges. During probation, among other penalties, they will be prohibited from having alcohol at the house.
A Gieek Review Board met in October to consider the com-
plaints and recommended "strict sanctions." The university began negotiations with the fraternity's national chapter in Atlanta.
"So the board recommended, and the national fraternity agreed, that there should be much more strict supervision and strong sanctions," Dennis said. The decision to impose sanctions was made about two weeks ago.
Officers of the national Kappa Alpha chapter were not available for comment late Tuesdav.
Senate's toy bag nearly empty; lacks manufacturers' donations

Three days before* its annual toy party for local underprivileged children, the Student Senate has yet to hear from one of the 200 toy companies it has asked for help and has only 15 toys for the expected 330 school children.
Meanwhile, the Marines Reserves unit of the university NROTC kicked off its 37th annual Toys for Tots drive Tuesday night.
The senate sent request letters to the toy companies in October asking for donations, but unlike the previous two years, has not received any responses. The senate is turning to faculty members and students for help.
"The interest in the past has come from the toy companies, Out since they can't help us this year, we wanted support from the students like in the food drive," said Nancy Calle, director of the program and chairwoman of the student affairs research action unit of the Student Senate.
She said the senate is making a "last-ditch effort" to get either toy contributions or money contributions by Friday afternoon because the party for the children is on Saturday morning.
Besides the 15 toys, the senate has received only about $400 in donations. It needs at least 330 toys and $1,500 in donations.
"We've been trying to contact other toy companies," Calle said. "If worse comes to worse, we'll take money out of the senate fund, but we'd like to keep that for other things."
The party will be held near Tommy Trojan, where a Christmas tree will be displayed. But a donor for the tree still has not been found.
"An alumni from up north usually donates the tree, but we haven't gotten word from him this year. If worse comes to worse, (the senate) will have to go out and buy a smaller one," Calle said.
Fraternities and sororities have also been asked to get involved in the program and help cover some of the expenses.

Medical panel discusses right to die
By Steven Church
Staff Writer
Speaking with her colleagues, Barbara Sarter, professor of nursing, said Thursday that the decision to die is not a medical issue but a moral one which should not be made by the physician alone.
The panel, which met at the School of Medicine, discussed who should make the final decision to withhold medical attention from a dying patient, and disagreed over who should be the most important figure in the process.
"There are no clear-cut black and white areas here," said Dr. Frederic Rosner, an expert on bioethics. "There are only gray areas, so you're right and I'm wrong, and I'm right and you're wrong and the truth lies somewhere in between."
Rosner, along with David Blake, assistant professor of ethics .at Loyola Marymount University, said the doctor should always be a part of any decision to end treatment.
Sarter and Samuel Chetti, an American Baptist chaplain, argued the ultimate decision should be the patient's, with input from others.
Speaking on the view of the Catholic church on terminal illnesses, Blake said, "I think the best way to understand the church's view in cases of terminal illness is to understand first of all the church's view of medicine.
"Medicine is engaged in the pursuit of three basic ends: to save lives, to minimize suffering and finally to promote and inspect the health of patients," Blake said.
"The church recognizes each of them to be equally valuable. It is precisely because each of these are of equal value, and each is considered as morally significant as any other, that in the case of a terminal illness, they create the church's moral dilemma. The church has decided that no one of these ends should be sought, but all should be taken into consideration."

The university has suspended the Kappa Alpha Order fraternity for 90 days, and will place them on a three-year probation following that for conduct violations that occurred in September, James Dennis, vice president for student affairs, announced Tuesday.
Dennis said the sanctions were levelled because the fraternity allegedly violated the dry rush policy, and because fraternity members allegedly assaulted two students in front of the house.
"This is likely the most severe sanction short of withdrawing a charter that we've had in the last five years," Dennis said.
Rick Hagy, president of the fraternity, said, "We feel that the decision made by the administration is both positive and constructive" and that it "will allow us to strengthen as a fraternity."
The fraternity has been on probation before in the past five

To kick off Yugoslavia Week Monday, a University of Belgrade professor addressed an audience on the political structure of that country, saying the country is "the most complex type of society in Europe."
Branko Pribicevic, a visiting professor at the political science department of the University of Oregon, Eugene, spoke to about 25 people on "The Yugoslav Political System: Problems and Prospects."
Pribicevic said Yugoslavia is complex "economically, politically, culturally, historically."
He discussed the many different areas and territories.
"Yugoslavia is the only country in Europe which has a fairlv large Moslem population and is the only country that has
both Western Catholic and Eastern Orthodox civilizations."
Pribicevic said that another feature which sets Yugoslavia apart from other Communist nations is the "specific, unique nature of the Yugoslavia revolution."
"Yugoslavia is the only country in Europe during World War II which, at the same time, had a national revolutionary war and a social revolution."
During this time, "the Communist Party came to power during the war, not after the war."
At the time Germans were in Moscow at the end of 1941, 55 percent of Yugoslav territory was liberated and controlled by the National Liberation Party, he said.
"You can't compare it to the events that took place at the end
of the war or after the war in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria and some other places," he said.
In order to understand the nature of Yugoslavian government today, you must trace history to this National Liberation War, he said.
Pribicevic also discussed Sovi-et-Yugoslav conflicts.
"There's a conflict not only between Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union, but between Yugoslavia and all the other countries ruled by the Communist Party," he said. The confrontation includes political, ideological, economic and even military aspects.
During World War II, Joseph Stalin, then Communist Party head in the Soviet Union, initiated an overthrow of the Yugoslavian government.
"Stalin drove it to the point of direct invasion. Many people asked why he didn't invade. He probably realized that if he were (Continued on page 11)

Ljubo Dukic, consul general of Yugoslavia, said in a speech on campus Tuesday that the policy of non-alignment, which his nation follows, is the most important element in securing world peace.
Dukic, who spoke on "Non-Aligned Yugoslavia and Its International Position" as part of Yugoslavia Week at the university, said many international problems of the world are due to "the division of the world into two antagonistic military blocs."
"Non-alignment means being completely out of any political-military pact," he said. "The policy of non-alignment endeavors to stop the division of the world into two autonomous blocs."
Dukic said Yugoslavia's inter-
national position is a "favorable one," and he said the nation has good relations with the United States, the Soviet Union and the Peoples' Republic of China, as well as most other states.
He emphasized the importance of smaller states on the international scene, saying all nations should have the opportunity to join in international relations. He called for cooperation between nations "to strive against domination and hegemony," but said nations should not interfere in the internal problems of other states.
He gave the Middle East as an example of the problems caused by world polarization, saying the United States and the Soviet Union are using the region for their strategic purposes.
