The Denton school, meanwhile, decided to delay a decision on possible punishment against Al pha Kappa Alpha that could range from verbal admonishment to probation or an outright ban from campus. Jacqueline Edwards, a board member representing the sorori ty's south central region, will re port back to the Chicago-based or- ganization, said Dr. Mary Shy Scott, the sorority's international president in Atlanta. "She is taking a look at what Alpha Kappa Alpha representative sent to Denton to investigate hazing the school says, what law enforce ment says and also Alpha Kappa Alpha's policy against hazing," said Scott. "Every member knows this. The practice of hazing and other unac ceptable practices during the mem bership intake process are not toler ated in Alpha Kappa Alpha." The sorority's Denton chapter has been suspended from group activities since the hazing was re ported in April. The university had planned to decide on the chapter's future Wednesday. "There will not be a decision today," said Susan Rogers, UNT associate vice president-market ing and communications. • The sorority's national office told the school it would forward its recommendations to Denton by next week. "We will not make a decision until they have made their recom mendations," Rogers said. Scott said the UNT chapter's situation will also be discussed at a national sorority board meet ing during the first weekend in November. "We have thousands of mem bers in that area" of North Texas, she said. Seven members of the sorority were charged with hazing, a mis demeanor. Five of them were con victed last month and sentenced to 90 days in jail. They were ac cused of striking the pledges with paddles and food and forcinl them to eat hot peppers. But the other two membetil have not yet been tried. Rogers said the pledges werett| portedly harassed over the last yeJ in a series of separate attacks.Prl Reynolds, a Denton County assif tant district attorney, said sororiti members were accused of "verbal mental and physical hazing."

Dean of Students Greg Sawvtl said that UNT will considerill sorority's previous hazing recoi:| in making its decision. Hesaidiui| versity regulations also ban phyj cal and psychological hazing.

Robert Drew, 34, of West Pawlet, Vt., faced lethal injection early Thursday for the Feb. 22, 1983 slaying of Jeffrey Mays, 17, of Birmingham, Ala. Testimony showed Mays was stabbed in the heart and his throat was slashed before his body was dumped in a ditch off Interstate 10 east of Hous ton. more important to hold due process of law than rapid executions," Kuby said. "I am surprised and pleased. It shows that maybe this awesome machin ery of death which seems to grind on and on and on isn't unstoppable, and in some cases at least fairness and justice will triumph.” "It's off," Bill Zapalac, an assistant Texas attorney general, said. He said an appeal by his office of the civil court's decision to the Texas Supreme Court would require a written record of the hearing Tuesday and that could not be completed in time to comply with the execu tion warrant, which expires at sunrise Thursday.

"Our ruling today should not be construed as any indi cation of how this Court will ultimately decide the appeal on the merits," the court said. "We act only to give us sufficient time to perform our basic constitutional and statutory duty of reviewing the propriety of the district court's decision. "Clearly, to proceed with the execution as sched uled would affect the parties' right pending the dis position of the appeal from the district court order and would destroy the subject matter of the lawsuit," the court said. The appeal by attorney Ronald Kuby came after a state district court judge in Austin denied a request that would have forced the state Board of Pardons and Paroles to hold a hearing on Drew's claims of in nocence. The board earlier Wednesday refused, on a 15-0 vote, to deny Drew a clemency hearing, com mute his sentence or grant him a 120-day reprieve.
