Thursday, November 11,:
Husband acquitted of marital sexual assault
The Associated Press
MANASSAS, Va - John Bob
bitt, whose wife cut off his penis in
retaliation for alleged sexual abuse,
was acquitted Wednesday of rap
ing her. The jury rejected the argu
ment that she "struck out at the
very thing that harmed her."
Bobbitt's wife, Lorena, will be
tried on Nov. 29 on a malicious
wounding charge. She faces up to
20 years in prison, as her husband
had on a charge of marital sexual
assault.
The jury of nine women and
three men deliberated about four
hours before returning the verdict.
Bobbitt, 26, jumped from his
chair and hugged his lawyer, Gre-
"Why did she cut his penis off? Something
happened and I submit to you something sexu
al happened that offended her and drove her
over the edge."
- Paul B. Ebert, prosecutor
gory Murphy, then buried his face
in Murphy's shoulder as Bobbitt's
aunt shouted, "Oh Lord, thank
you!"
Mrs. Bobbitt, 24, wasn't in court.
In closing arguments, the prose
cution and defense focused on in
consistencies in the couple's stories
of what happened the night of June
23.
"Why did she cut his penis off?
Something happened and I submit
to you something sexual happened
that offended her and drove her
over the edge," prosecutor Paul B.
Ebert said.
She "struck out at the very thing
that harmed her, the thing that hurt
and she severed it," Ebert said.
Mrs. Bobbitt testified that her
husband woke her, pinned her to
their bed, yanked off her under
wear and raped her.
Bobbitt testified that he initiated
sex and his wife didn't resist. 1
phy said Mrs. Bobbitt concocted a
story of sexual abuse because she
was angry over the dissolution of
their four-year marriage.
"The prosecution tells you that
two wrongs don't make a right,
Well, that's right," Murphy told the
jury. "The emasculation of John
Bobbitt is the first wrong. The sec
ond wrong is the fabrication of
facts in this case."
After cutting off her husband's
penis, Mrs. Bobbitt said, she
their apartment and threw the sev
ered organ out her car window
Police found it in the grass and
it was reattached in a nine-hour oj>
eration.
Traditions
Continued from Page 1
Battalion a week ago criticizing the
builders of Bonfire in his hall, As
ton Hall, for yelling, banging on
residents' doors, playing loud mu
sic and striking a flagpole with an
ax handle outside of Aston Hall.
White said this is a clear exam
ple of violating the rules.
"It seems cut and dry to me," he
said. "It's against regulations."
Dr. Malon Southerland, interim
assistant vice president for student
services, said students should ad
here to the University policies.
"If the policy is in the Depart
ment of Student Affairs guide for
residence halls, then it should be
followed," Southerland said.
But Damon Flowers, a Bonfire
crew chief from Aston Hall, said
Bonfire should be an exception to
the rule.
"He (White) has a point that ax
handles and loud noise in the hall
is forbidden," said Flowers, a ju
nior biomedical science major.
"That violates policy.
"But I also believe there's a time
and a place when we are not caus
ing harm to him or anyone else."
Chris Thompson, president of
the Residence Hall Association and
a senior industrial engineering ma
jor, said policies are overlooked be
cause Bonfire is such an important
Aggie tradition.
"But if it starts to turn it into a
negative thing, then we should re
think it," he said.
The resident director and the
resident advisers of the hall usually
tolerate the wake-up procedures,
he said.
"The yellow pots have to go to
the resident director, and the resi
dent director will approve it as
long as he doesn't receive com
plaints," he said.
Each hall has one yellow pot
who leads that hall at Bonfire and
four or five crew chiefs who orga
nize the hall's Bonfire effort.
Rusty Thompson, an adviser for
the yellow pots and coordinator of
Residence Life for the north side,
said the yellow pots and the resi
dent directors get together at the
beginning of the semester and es
tablish the guidelines for wakeup
calls.
"The resident directors encour
age the yellow pots to knock only
on the doors of the guys who want
to go," Rusty Thompson said.
This policy works well at first,
but then people start to see what
they can get away with. Rusty
Thompson said.
Bob Wiatt, director of the Uni
versity Police Department, said
UPD has received at least one call
every weekend since Bonfire cut
began.
"We've tried to address these
complaints and asked them to calm
it down," Wiatt said. "But some
times their exuberance takes over
and they don't know how loud it
carries.
Wiatt said UPD has received
fewer complaints this year than in
previous years.
Chris Thompson said the wake-
up calls have gotten a lot less outra
geous since he came to A&M four
years ago when an ambulance siren
was once used to wake up cadets in
the Corps.
"But it's getting a lot stricter
now," he said. "But if we didn't
make noise, it wouldn't get built."
But, White said, a lot of the
"good bull" that goes along with
Bonfire has stopped.
Since White s letter was pub
lished in The Battalion, he said he
has been harassed both verbally
and physically.
"A guy screamed at me and
hung up,he said. "And last week,
in the middle of the night, some
body took some shaving cream and
drew a pentagram on my door."
White said someone also left a
cup of urine outside of his door so
he would knock it over when he
walked out.
"It's sort of scary when they can
come by whenever they want," he
said. "I'm surprised the administra
tion hasn't done anything about it."
White said he received some
support, however, after the last in
cidents.
"After that, people started to
come by, and they were amazed,"
he said. "They said'These guys are
barbarians.'"
White said he is surprised that
he has gotten such little support
from students and the administra
tion.
White said he hoped his letter
would cause the University to look
into this practice.
"I was hoping it would be calm
ly disarmed, but they seem rather
arrogant about it, like they are not
going to be stopped," White said.
Dockery

ery said in an April 16 letter to
then-Athletic Director John David
Crow.
Dockery, however, re-entered
his proposal after he received
from "within the Texas A&M sys
tem, as well as from the Texas
A&M Board of Regents."
"(These calls) have asked
reconsider simply because offidaii
behind the program believe thai
Dockery Mouse L’ublishing has tlx
concept and ideas that can gener

Department," a letter dated
28 from Dockery to Dave South,
assistant athletic director for mat
keting, stated.
During the time of Dockery 1 ;
absence, the remaining membersol
the team that made the original
proposal, KWL Consulting Co
put together another proposal ex
eluding Dockery. KWL was vet
bally assured they had received th
contract on April 27 with their ne«
proposal, but the next day Docker
re-entered the bidding and wi
awarded the contract.
