(AP) — A Roman Catholic group has asked Seton Hall Uni versity to rescind an honorary degree it awarded to a college president who served on a commission for an abortion rights group. CatholicVote.org, a project of Catholic Alliance, said a Catholic school like Seton Hall should not recognize someone such as Dolores Cross, the head of Morris Brown College, who has a position contrary to church doctrine. Cross was among 42 members of the National Commission on America With out Roe that was organized in 1992 by the National Abortion Rights Action League, (NARAL) according to NARAL. “We would strongly oppose the confer ring of an honorary degree to a person who advocated racial profiling, was a member of the Ku Klux Klan or who was an anti-Semite,” said Raymond Flynn, president of Catholic Alliance and former U.S. ambassador to the Vatican. Cross said the alliance’s request, made Tuesday, would “violate the spirit of the Constitution.” “At issue are the constitutional freedoms of speech and association,” she said. “At tempts to associate mv conduct withr^” ri( ^ t V' s ^ who act out of hatred is an affrontttM^ 01 " 9 diaracter and inteerritv.” id .n August* )letmg degr mth Oim iracter and integrity'.

(M^) — A single-seat Navy jet fight er on a training mission crashed nose-first Tuesday on a ranch northeast of Lake Okee chobee, killing the pilot, au thorities said. The St. Lucie County Sher iff’s Office said witnesses saw a military aircraft go down about 10:30 a.m. on the V Bar 2 Ranch a few miles east of the Okee chobee County line. No one ejected from the plane, witness es said. Sheriff Ken Mascara said a sheriff’s office helicopter con ducted a search but called it off after a half hour because offi cials did not see any survivors or parachutes. The pilot’s identity was being withheld pending notification of his family members. The F/A-18C Hornet took off from Oceana Naval Air Sta tion in Virginia Beach, Va. It was on a routine training mission to Key West with 10 other Hor nets from the air station when it crashed, the Navy said. The remaining aircraft ar rived safely at Key West Naval Air Station, Oceana spokesman Mike Maus said. Investigators have not deter mined the cause of the crash. County Fire District spokesman Capt. Tom Whitley said witnesses reported seeing the aircraft “coming nose down from the sky.” Large pieces of wreckage lay in a crater 15 feet deep and 20 feet wide, Whitley said. Small er pieces of the plane were scat tered in a half-mile circle around the wreck.
