Emory President James T. Laney met with a few of the students after the rally and said he would take the list under advisement. Among the demands: That the sophomore adviser who witnessed and participated in the incident be removed from his position. That sexual orientation be included as a protected category in the Emory Equal Opportunity Policy statement. That all Residence Life staff, including residence assistants, be trained about sexual orientation and homophobia.

University officials said a half-day session, instead of a short session offered earlier this year, will be offered next fall. That a gay, lesbian and bisexual studies program be created. lesbian and bisexual students, was in response to the university's handling of complaints by Mr. Norris and Alfred Hilder-brand, 19, who were threatened by more than 40 students after holding hands and kissing "for a brief moment" at the kitchen table in a freshman dormitory. University policy forbids "discriminatory harassment" based on sexual orientation.

Last week, university officials said the complaints were valid and had taken "appropriate action" against two students involved in the incident but would not disclose what the action was.

Briley has tried 31 capital cases since he became district attorney in 1974 of the Ocmulgee Judicial Circuit, which had among the highest number of Georgia' death penalty cases. Of those 31, 17 received the death penalty. Twelve of the 17 death penalties were overturned.

Three still face the death penalty but are appealing their sentences. None has been executed. Mr. Briley recently tried one death case four times. After three previous re- "versals on appeal, the case ended in January in a life sentence for the defendant.

Experts say the economy is unlikely to deter the use of capital punishment in the South. "Generally speaking, most of our population believes it's appropriate in some cases to seek the death penalty, that its cost although somewhat expensive is justified," said Tom Lawler, Gwinnett County's district attorney.

Cobb County prosecutors expect to seek the death penalty against seven men this year, and DeKalb County has four such cases. "The decision is reserved for those cases that warrant it," said Jack Mallard, Cobb County's chief assistant district attorney. "These are some of the most heinous crimes a person can imagine." Among the pending cases: A man is accused of using lighter fluid to set his girlfriend afire. Another allegedly raped and killed a 59-year-old woman after kidnapping her from a grocery store parking lot. And another allegedly raped a 15-year-old girl, wrapped her nude body in a blanket and buried it among leaves in the woods.

The testimony of a ballistics expert, for instance, can cost as much as $1,500, criminal justice authorities said. Jurors add to the expense. Twelve jurors and at least two alternates earn as much as $25 a day each.

Counties also pay for jurors' meals and hotel rooms during sequestration. Both the prisoner and the jurors necessitate additional security, another expense. Fulton County officials are among those who question whether death penalty prosecutions are worth the expense. Only two people convicted in Fulton County have been executed in 25 years, District Attorney Lewis Slaton said, and retroactive decisions from the U.S. Supreme Court overturned convictions for two other death row inmates.

"It's cheaper to put them in prison for the rest of their lives than it is to put them to death," said Sammy Jones, Fulton County's former court administrator and now a Juvenile Court judge. I Georgia's capital crimes the death penalty may be imposed in the following circumstances: Aircraft hijacking or treason. Murder, rape, armed robbery or kidnapping by a convicted capital felon. Murder of a judicial officer, former judicial officer, district attorney or solicitor or former district attorney or solicitor during the performance of duties. Murder of a police officer, corrections employee or firefighter during the performance of duties.

Murder for hire. Causing or directing someone else to murder as an agent or employee of another. Murder, rape, armed robbery or kidnapping Involving torture, depravity of mind or aggravated battery to the victim. Murder by an individual having escaped from a police officer's lawful custody or from lawful confinement. Murder to avoid, interfere with or prevent a lawful arrest or to prevent custody in a place of confinement for oneself or others.

Murder, rape or armed robbery committed during the commission of another capital felony or aggravated battery or murder committed during burglary or arson in the first degree.
