Wli ioflsp'ectt qnLaesDOiniedl odd $lhi(0tioiri)g, airsoin) 1 tt- 7' Vena said Sunday lived alone, but had occasional "friends, girlfriends, guests" staying with him. Vena would not say if the suspect Is a male or female, or if the suspect had been a visitor at Sunday's home. Sunday's body, clad in pajamas, was found on a couch in his living room by sheriff's deputies responding to the fire about 2 a.m.

Thursday. Investigators at first believed Sunday died of smoke inhalation, but an autospy showed the cause of death to be a gunshot wound to the head above the left eye. Investigators, who described Sunday as a laborer and handyman, said he moved from Libertyville about 18 months ago and lived in the house since. Vena said Sunday bought the house from an acquaintance who was the victim of a home invasion there about two years ago. He said the home invasion may have an indirect link with the shooting and arson, but he wouldn't give details.

Sunday is survived by two sons, Joseph and Wayne, and three daughters, Mary Ann, Susan and Robin, who live in Libertyville and Chicago.

"Private law schools at the margins of reputation may feel the crunch more," Clune said. That's because private schools usually have higher tuitions and because students may be cutting down on the number of schools to which they apply to save bn application fees, he said. Applications may have dipped overall at the UW Law School, but more women are attending the school than ever.

Clune said that while only a nominal percentage of law students were women in the early 1970s, females comprise 43 percent of this year's entering class. "There was a time when the only women in law school were highly motivated overachievers," said Edward Reisner, UW Law School assistant dean and placement director. "Now everyone fits that MADISON (AP) For the first time in 15 years, fewer people have applied for entrance into the University of Wisconsin Law School for the 1984-85 school year than in the previous year. Applications dropped from 1,836 in 1983-84 to 1,506 this year in what William Clune, chairman of the school's admissions committee, calls a "significant decline." That goes along with a national trend, as the American Bar Association's accredited law schools reported a 10.4 percent average drop in applications for 1984-85. There was a .5 percent national decline in 1983-84, the first since 1968.

"It's possible that people perceive a glut of lawyers," Clune said. "It's really not clear how much the drop is due to impressions of job availability, a decline in the number of college seniors or the financial straits of students." He said he saw no evidence that law school graduates have a more difficult time finding jobs. Clune also said the decline in applicants hasn't really Superior tops other ore ports Births Correction Meetings SUPERIOR (AP) Iron ore shipments from Superior topped 9 million gross tons for the year through October, making it the top ore port on the Great Lakes, the American Iron Ore Association in Cleveland reported.
