Engineer denies
marijuana use
before crash
BALTIMORE (AP) — Rick Gates,
the 39-year-old Conrail engineer
whose locomotive caused the fatal
Amtrak train crash Jan. 4, denies
smoking marijuana in the cab that
day.
“No!” Gates said when asked
whether he smoked in the cab with
brakeman Edward Cromwell,
longtime friend.
Gates added, “What 1 do on my
own time is my own business.”
,He declined to elaborate.
Blood tests which were taken
from Cromwell and Gates after the
accident showed that both had traces
of marijuana in their systems at the
time of the crash.
Federal investigators have said
there was “a sufficient amount” of
marijuana to indicate recent or chro
nic use.
In his first interview since the acci
dent that killed 16 people, the 14-
year veteran engineer said a psychia
trist has been helping him deal with
the guilt of surviving the worst acci
dent in Amtrak history.
Senate
(Continued from page 1)
all departments do what most de-
paitments were doing anyway.
|It simply formalizes the serious
invlolvement of the faculty in the ap
pointments of department heads,”
Gabion said.
^■ormerly, there was no unifor-
mijv among colleges in their depart
ment head selection processes, he
said, but each college had its own
rules and guidelines. Now the proc-
essishould be homogeneous, he said.
“It’s clearly the case that for many
lepartments, this is no change,”
Talon said. “It has long been the
:ase that in many departments the
acuity members have been very in-
olied.”
Perhaps the most controversial
ection of the document deals with
hep periodic evaluation of depart-
nent heads by the faculty.
Department heads will be eval-
lated in the second and fourth years
>f their service and at least once ev-
ry four years after that. Depart-
nent heads who are now incumbent
nust be reviewed within two years.
At the end of the evaluation proc-
;ss, a poll of the department’s fac-
tlty will be taken to decide whether
he head should continue in office,
vith the poll’s results being relayed
othe dean.
Dr. Stephen Fuller, a professor in
the Physical Education department,
said faculty members should agree
with the document.
“Anytime they’re given more in
put, they’re happier,” Fuller said.
“In general, I think this would
have to be a morale boost for the fac-
idty.”
Dr. Leonard Ponder, chairman of
the Faculty Senate Planning Com
mittee which developed the original
document, said the Senate is very
pleased with the document in its fi
nal form.
"Basically, this is the same docu
ment now that it was when we origi
nally approved it,” he said.
Ponder, who is head of the Physi
cal Education Department, said no
one should be worried about this
document, and the only people
likely to be nervous are department
heads and deans.
“The main criticism I’ve heard is
that any time you don’t know who
your boss is, you’re going to be ner
vous,” Ponder said, “and that’s how
some department heads feel now.
But they should relax. If they’re
doing a good job, they’ve got noth
ing to worry about.”
Hall arrives back in U.S.,
apologizes for actions
MI AM 1 (AP) — Soldier of fortune
Sam Nesley Hall returned to the
United States Wednesday from Ni
caragua and apologized for the ac
tions that got him arrested on spy
charges.
Hall, whose captors said they were
freeing him because he was mentally
unstable, was admitted to a Veterans
Administration hospital.
Officials said he would spend a
few days there, but they declined to
discuss his condition.
“I just have one thing to say to the
Nicaraguan people,” Hall told re
porters before boarding a flight in
Managua to Costa Rica on Wednes
day morning. “I’m sorry I tried to
ambush them.”
Hall was accompanied by an attor
ney, Gary Froelich of Dayton, Ohio,
who said his client should receive a
full physical and psychological ex
amination.
“He is greatly in need of rest and
recuperation after the 49-day prdeal
he has endured,” the attorney said.
“This has included considerable lack
of sleep, strain of interrogation, iso
lation, dehydration and confine
ment.”
His mother, Ann Hall, said in
Dayton, Ohio, that she talked with
him by telephone for about five min
utes and that Hall said he would
have to stay at the Miami hospital for
at least three days for a medical
problem that he did not discuss in
detail.
“I think it was anemia or some
thing,” sh^ said, adding that her son
had not told her previously of any
such condition.
Mrs. Hall said she did not ask him
about the mental problems referred
to by the Nicaraguans, “but I think
he heard about it and he was very
upset about it.”
Nicaraguan officials said they
were releasing Hall, 49-year-old
brother of Rep. Tony Hall, D-Ohio,
because he showed signs of mental
instability.
Last month, they permitted cap
tured American mercenary Eugene
Hasenfus to return home despite a
30-year sentence for aiding the Con
tra rebels* who seek to overthrow Ni
caragua’s leftist government.
At the White House, presidential
spokesman Larry Speakes said of
Hall’s release: “They should have
done it earlier.”
Tony Hall’s congressional office
in Washington released a statement
saying that while the congressman
had encouraged his brother to talk
to the media in Nicaragua, now that
he is free in the United States his
brother’s problems are a “personal
family matter.”
