Serial killer
sentenced to die
by injection
CONROE (AP) — A Mont
gomery County jury took only 35
minutes Tuesday to sentence con
victed serial killer Daniel Lee
Corwin to death by lethal injec
tion for the 1987 slayings of three
women.
Corwin, 31, was convicted Fri
day in state District Judge James
Keeshan’s court, in one of the
first tests of a new state law that
allows capital prosecution for
murders committed at different
times and locations that are
found to follow the same pattern.
A year ago, Corwin was serving
a 99-year sentence for the 1988
attempted capital murder of a
Texas A&M coed when he con
fessed to a Huntsville detective
that he was involved in the slay
ings of Alice Martin, 72, of Nor-
mangee; Debra Ewing, 27, of
Grangerland; and Mary Risinger,
36, of Huntsville.
All three women were attacked
in public places. Martin was ab
ducted while taking a walk near
her home on Feb. 13, then tied,
strangled and stabbed four times
in the back. Ewing was abducted
at gunpoint from a Huntsville op
tical shop where she worked on
July 10 and then was raped and
stabbed twice in the chest at Lake
Conroe. Risinger was stabbed in
the throat at a Huntsville car
wash on Halloween as her 3-year-
old daughter looked on.
Sorority secures charter
Members strive to be well-known on campus

Of The Battalion Staff

One sorority, founded in 1922 by seven school teach
ers at Butler University in Indiana, is a little different
from other Greek organizations at Texas A&M: it has
only five members.
The service sorority Sigma Gamma Rho is known na
tionally, especially in the east, but is not as popular in
the southern United States, Vice Presi
dent Karen Gosby said.
Gosby, a senior environmental design
major, said the chapter has not had as
many members as she would like be
cause it just started this year.
She said the group received a national charter last
week and has just been recognized by the University,
and now it can become more involved with helping the
community without the help of other charters.
“I think we have the image of being bookworms, and
maybe people don’t feel as comfortable being a part of
our organization,” she said.
Treasurer Joy Marshall, a junior biochemistry major,
said they are stereotyped as an honor society type of so
rority, but that the stereotype is not true.
“When we are looking for members, we look at who
they are individually and are open to different types of
people,” Marshall said. “We look for people with differ-
same. We are not a superficial type of girls, just down to
earth.”
Gosby said they are in the process of letting other
women on campus know that Sigma Gamma Rho exists.
“Although this is a traditionally black sorority, we are
open to any female who is interested and feels comfort
able in joining,” Marshall said.
Charter members also include senior environmental
design major Tanya Woodside, junior
chemical engineering major Murial Rho-
der and junior journalism major Robin
Beckham.
Gosby said they have interest meet
ings that are like rush parties where they
discuss the activities in which they are involved and the
different service projects with which they are affiliated.
“It’s been hard to gain more members, but we are
working hard to become well-known on campus and to
let people know our purpose,” Gosby said.
Some of the service activities in which they have been
involved are food drives, Salvation Army service work,
the Assault on Illiteracy program, March of Dimes,
United Negro College Fund, Southern Christian Lead
ership Council, National Urban League, National Asso
ciation for the Advancement of Colored People and
fund drives for the community.

Computer intrusion at UT leaves no damage, puzzles officials
off rtm
wintm Ik
' tiled. Ei‘

AUSTIN (AP) — A computer intruder
detected at tfie University of Tekas did no
damage to files or programs, officials say.
Investigators late last week traced an in
truder on the Internet computer network.
The intruder had entered dozens of com
puter systems, including those at UT, Har
vard, Los Alamos National Laboratory,
Digital Equipment Corp. and Boston Uni
versity.
Internet is a computer network that links
corporations, universities, non-classified
military installations and government labo
ratories.
The New York Times reported that the
intruder’s program systematically tried to
steal computer files that contained pas
swords to Internet. Some of the intrusions
were traced to Texas and New Mexico be
fore investigators lost the trail.
But Charles Warlick, director of UT’s
Computation Center, which is in charge of
the university’s academic computers, said
he saw no evidence that a rogue program
tried to obtain passwords.
Warlick said he suspects a computer
hacker tried single-handedly to enter com
puters at the institutions.
The university has thousands of termi
nals tied to its main academic computer. A
separate system serves UT administrators.
Warlick said UT officials notified the
Computer Emergency Response Team at
Carnegie-Mellon University’s Software En
gineering Institute when they detected the
intrusion. • »
The response team is a federally funded
organization that gathers information
about computer break-ins.
Terry McGillen, a spokesman for the
Computer Emergency Response Team in
Pittsburgh, said that there was no indication
that the recent computer intruder was a
rogue program.
J fe -
He said his organization alerted Internet
members that a number of computers in
the system had been invaded. McGillen said
several dozen attempts to steal passwords
from the system had been made Thursday
and Friday.
“We don’t have any evidence of dam
age,” he said. “We just have evidence of
people intruding.”
