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.

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.
