"The crux of the matter in my own mind was whether the defense had raised a reasonable doubt," said jury foreman Gregory Hach. "The evidence the state put forward implied that he understood the situation he was in." Nelson Locke, another juror, said Kiritsis was acquitted not because the jury felt he was insane but because the prosecution failed to prove he wasn't.

"My only regret "The position of Notre Dame has been basically that affirmative action programs should continue, but that quotas are unacceptable," Sandoval explained. Notre Dame is one of the few Indiana schools with a formal affirmative action program. Indiana University has no such program, and the school's affirmative action officer, Frances D. Rhome, said she does not believe the school would be affected by the Bakke case.

The Bloomington Campus Affirmative Action Committee disagreed, however, saying that a decision in favor of Bakke would "undermine affirmative action programs that depend upon the right of universities to correct un-der-representation of minorities and women in their admission policies." Purdue University spokesman John W. Hicks says the school's engineering, agriculture and science reputation is at least partially responsible Ball Harmeier's life as an example to help continue building that kingdom, saying, "The kingdom of God on earth is nearer because Ann lived."

Blacks and other minorities have not shown much interest in those areas, he said. "Also, (West Lafayette) is a very white, Midwestern small town environment. Many minorities, having lived in urban areas, don't find it attractive," he noted. Neither Butler University, Depauw University nor Wabash College have an affirmative action program, but both Depauw and Wabash actively recruit minority students. Preferential treatment, Sandoval says, "is not all that different from the exceptions and arrangements made to admit some athletes, veterans, sons and daughters of influential alumni or donors."

Kiritsis said he was driven insane by fears he would lose his property to the mortgage company.

He said visions and voices ordered him to commit the kidnaping. The court pyschiatrists' report on him warned that "Without radical alteration of personality and lifestyle, there is no that this man will again come into conflict with the law." The Associated Press Only a few Indiana universities operate affirmative action programs, and a University of Notre Dame professor says the fate of those programs now rests with the U.S. Supreme Court. The court is scheduled to rule on a suit filed by Alan Bakke against the University of California at Davis Medical after he was denied admission because 16 of the 100 spots were reserved for minority students. Bakke claims he was the victim of reverse discrimination.

"If the (U.S. Supreme) court rules in favor of Bakke, we will roll back to 1954," said Notre Dame Law School assistant professor Rudy Sandoval, adding, "Schools who are not in favor of affirmative action programs will drop them." Sandoval said new, more structured affirmative action programs and movements to increase minority admissions would result from a court ruling against Bakke. "It (the money) didn't help Ann, but maybe this will help someone else in the future that might meet with the same kind of situation," said David Weston, leader of the citizen's committee.

According to Judge Dugan, the Indiana law on insanity defense was critical to the jury's decision. The judge said most states presume a defendant sane and require him to prove sanity. In Indiana, the prosecution must prove sanity beyond a reasonable Slain CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind.

Dugan will decide whether Kiritsis is to be released or committed for treatment. Dugan will use report from court-appointed p-sychiatrists to make his decision.

Part of that report called Kiritsis a "dangerous, asocial man" who "cannot live alone or be subbject to his own whims." If Dugan orders treatment, psychiatrists will decide the duration. Commenting Saturday, defense attorney Nile Stanton said Kiritsis is not now insane or dangerous. But Stanton said he believes Kiritsis will bow to family pressue and seek p-sychiatric care if he is released. Deputy Prosecutor George Montgomery, who argued that Kiritsis committed the act solely for personal gain, refused to speculate on Kiritsis' future.
