WASHINGTON (AP) — Only

oe required to take drugs not ap
proved by the Food and Drug Ad
ministration, the Clinton admin
istration told Congress yesterday.
A Pentagon official said these
ould include exposure to lethal
biological-chemical weapons for
which there are no approved
vaccines.
Members of a congressional
panel suggested the authority
could be abused. “I happen to

be rare,” Rep. Christopher
Shays, R-Conn., chair of a
House Government Reform
subcommittee looking into De
fense Department vaccination
programs, said.
On Sept. 30, President Clinton
■signed an executive order setting
I forth the process under which a
I mandatory vaccination program
■could be administered under
■ terms of a 1998 law.
Essentially, the defense secre-
■ tary would have to request such
I a program. It would then have to
be approved by the president.
“The United States faces the
monumental challenge of estab
lishing a credible medical defense
against chemical and biological
weapons in contexts of both mil
itary operations and civilian ter
rorist response,” Dr. Sue Bailey,
assistant secretary of defense for
health affairs, said.
WASHINGTON (AP) — If yes
terday’s courtroom session was
an indication, the Supreme Court
is finding it hard to decide
whether public universities and
colleges across America can keep
using money from mandatory stu
dent fees to finance controversial
campus groups.
As the hour-long argument ca
reened from one constitutional con
sideration to another, Justice An
tonin Scalia pondered aloud: “I just
wonder if universities are going to
crumble if they can’t do this.”
Perhaps not, but the court’s de
cision, expected by late June, could
change the way public universities
and colleges operate.
Susan Ullman, a Wisconsin as
sistant attorney general, urged
against changing a long tradition.
Creating a forum where many
voices can be heard is “a legiti
mate function for any university,”
she contended.
“I just wonder if
universities are
going to crumble if
they can't do this."
— Justice Antonin Scalia
U.S. Supreme Court
Jordan Lorence, a lawyer repre
senting University of Wisconsin
students who challenged their
school’s fee system, said his clients
were forced to support groups they
found objectionable.
“Students have a First Amend
ment right not to speak,” he said.
“The university has a constitution
al duty to respect the right of con
science of the students.”
If the objecting students win,
state-run schools would either have
to stop using the fees to finance stu
dent groups or figure out some way
to exempt some students.
The justices took turns pepper
ing both lawyers with dozens of
questions, and offered little insight
into how they might vote.
Justice David H. Souter at one
point noted most University of Wis
consin student groups finance
themselves through dues and other
kinds of fund-raising. He told Ull
man that fact undercut “your argu
ment ... you can’t have this kind of
speech in the university setting”
without using student activity fees.

Court denies producer’s appeal
JASPER (AP) — An appeals court
yesterday denied without comment
a CBS producer’s attempt to have
two contempt charges against her
overturned, meaning she must re
port to the Jasper County Jail to be
gin serving the indefinite sentence
leveled against her by the judge try
ing the third dragging-death case.
It is a second victory for prosecu
tors in the capital-murder trial of
Shawn Allen Berry, the third and fi
nal white defendant charged with
dragging a black East Texas man to
his death behind a pickup truck.
In a one-paragraph decision, the
Texas Court of Criminal Appeals re

contempt appeals and revoked a
$2,000 bond which they allowed
while deciding whether to hear her
case, Richard Wetzel, general coun
sel for the court, said.
State District Judge Joe Bob
Golden twice has ordered Mapes
jailed for refusing to comply with
subpoenas that demand she hand
over a transcript and videotape of
the complete interview between
Berry and anchor Dan Rather,
portions of which aired on “60
Minutes II” Sept. 28.
“I hope that Ms. Mapes’ attor
neys would realize, as we have ar
gued all along, that the law is in our
favor on this matter,” Brit Feather-
ston, an assistant U.S. attorney help
ing Jasper County prosecutors, said.
“I would hope she would come for
ward and turn over the items that
have been requested by the court.”
The court’s decision means
Mapes has exhausted her appellate
remedies in Texas and must now
take her case to federal court.
Mapes’ lead attorney, Charles
“Chip” Babcock, did not return a
phone call seeking comment.
The appeal bond kept Mapes out
of jail Friday, the day she was due to
report there after another appellate
court ruled it had no jurisdiction to
hear her appeal and lifted a tempo
rary stay.
