Scarver was sentenced in April 1992 to the mandatory life prison term for first-degree intentional homicide. The head of the Conservation Corps said at the time that the shooting had a great impact on the program, which had to use part of its budget on security measures and then work to rebuild morale and attract employees and participants. The corps provides work experience to young unemployed people on conservation projects. Prison officials said Scarver would not have been first eligible for parole until the year 2042. Dahmer, sentenced to consec-' utive life terms, faced the prospect of dying in prison.

On the day Dahmer was sentenced, he predicted his life behind bars would be "terrible" and said he knew he would probably be killed in prison.

Roberson said the campuses are about a mile apart, joined by a University-owned area of housing, parkland and undeveloped property. Despite a good year for the football team, it's the men's basketball team that's really put the school on office-pool charts.

James B. Duke donated a huge sum in 1924 to create the Duke Endowment, which provided in part for the expansion of Trinity College to, you guessed it, Duke University. There was a legend, said David Ro-berson, Duke's director of university relations, that the Dukes had instead offered their fortunes to Princeton University. The deal hinged on the condition that Princeton rename itself Duke, which it refused to do. Historians from both schools now say that's false, he said.

The centerpiece of the newer West Campus' gothic architecture is Duke Chapel, built in 1929, and now the final resting place for Washington, James and Benjamin Duke, as well as other Duke family members and university leaders, said Roberson. The chapel's stained Duke's medical school was ranked sixth best in March by U.S. News and World Report, its law school was ranked seventh and its business school was ranked ninth. In fact, someone once described Duke as "an Ivy League School with decent weather," according to the "Fiske Guide to Colleges." The school was founded in 1838 by the Methodist and Quaker communities as the Union Institute. It was located in Randolph County, about 40 miles southeast of Durham.

By 1859, it was known as Trinity College. Trinity enjoyed the financial support of Washington Duke, founder of the American Tobacco and his family, which also developed the production of electricity in the Carolinas.

WSJ DAILY U.N., NATO helpless giants in Bosnia's raging carnage Charges filed in murder of Cora Jones, 12 Confessed killer's hearing low-key ANALYSIS 'It's an outright, unmitigated failure of the United Nations to honor its commitment to Bosnia. Everyone has stood by and done nothing in the last few days, and they can't disguise Marshall Harris of Action Council for Peace In the Balkans umbrella in Europe. "It's hard to imagine NATO talking about expanding if it can't do a better job in Bosnia," said Warren Zimmerman, a former U.S. ambassador to Yugoslavia. Mike McCurry, the State Department spokesman, said U.N.

peacekeepers and NATO air forces have helped to mitigate the violence in the 32-month conflict "Certainly they haven't stopped it, but they've helped curb it, mitigate it, at least ameliorate some of the violence that might otherwise be occurring," McCurry said. He said the administration sticks by its position that the only way to end the war in Bosnia is through negotiations. "What neither NATO nor the United Nations collectively have been able to do is to bring this conflict to an end," McCurry said. "But the pathway for bringing that to an end, as we suggest over and over again, is negotiation and effort at the bargaining table."

In the last two days, Defense Please see BOSNIA, Page 2A Column7 A By Jennifer Lin Knight-Ridder Newspapers WASHINGTON If the Bosnian city of Bihac falls to Serbian forces in coming days, the casualties will include the credibility of the United Nations and the NATO military alliance.

In the course of a week, the northwestern town on the border of Croatia has turned from a U.N.-declared safe area to a living nightmare for 70,000 trapped residents. On Monday, Bosnian Serb forces continued to bombard the city with artillery and mortar fire, ignoring U.N. and NATO warnings to back off. Serbian troops are fighting hand-to-hand against Bosnian government soldiers. "It's an outright, unmitigated failure of the United Nations to honor its commitment to Bosnia," said Marshall Harris, executive director of the Action Council for Peace in the Balkans.

"Everyone has stood by and done nothing in the last few days, and they can't disguise that" The battle of Bihac is grim evidence of the inability of the world community to maintain peace in a country that has no peace. The United Nations has dispatched 23,000 peacekeepers to Bosnia, but their very presence is escalating the fighting and complicating the peace process. Incoming Senate Majority July 9, and Spanbauer confessed to killing her. He has also confessed to killing Ronelle Eichstedt, 10, of rural Ripon although he has not been charged with that crime. Officials in Iowa County, where Ronelle's body was found in 1992, said Monday they are still reviewing documents relating to Span-bauer's confession.

Iowa County Sheriff Tom DeVoss said investigators with the department are proceeding "very carefully." "He isn't the first person to come forward and tell us he did this," DeVoss said. But law enforcement officials in Langlade County sounded certain Monday about the results of their investigation of Spanbauer, a man who had spent 30 of his 35 adult years in prisoa The complaint filed against Spanbauer Monday in Cora's death contains details of the child's murder that only the murderer could have known, Shadick said. Cora's body, according to the complaint, was found unclothed and face down in a roadside ditch in rural Langlade County. Her hands were tied behind her back By Ron Seely Wisconsin State Journal When murder charges were filed Monday in Langlade County against the confessed killer of 12-year-old Cora Jones, the moment proved anti-climactic. Though the charges against David F.

Spanbauer brought to an end the closely followed search for Cora's kidnapper and killer, this particular chapter of the painful drama was played out in a nearly empty Antigo courtroom. Spanbauer, 53, of Oshkosh, did not appear. Nor did Cora's parents, according to Larry Shadick, chief deputy sheriff in Langlade County, where Cora's body was found. Shadick said Cora's parents met with investigators Sunday to review the results of the department's investigation. As Langlade County District Attorney Ralph Uttke filed the charges Monday morning, Spanbauer sat in a county jail cell in Outagamie County where he was charged last week with first-degree intentional homicide in the death of Trudi Jeschke, 21, of Appleton.

She was found shot in her home David Spanbauer with strips of pink material that appeared to be from a T-shirt The autopsy showed that Cora had been strangled, sexually assaulted and stabbed several times. Spanbauer, who was arrested Nov. 14 while trying to burglarize a home in Combined Locks near Appleton, confessed to Benjamin H. Baker, an investigator for the Langlade County Sheriffs Department, that he killed Cora. He told Baker that about five or six hours passed between the time he picked her up and when he killed her.

Spanbauer, according to the complaint, told Baker that while Cora was in his car, he "penetrated her vaginal area with his finger." Later, Spanbauer said, he stopped near a ditch with a steep drop-off where he attempted to strangle his young victim and then stabbed her several times in the Please see SPANBAUER, Page 2A Editorial7 A Leader Bob Dole wants U.N. peacekeepers to get out of Bosnia and sees the Bihac battle as a crisis for NATO.

Among U.S. allies, Britain and France have objected to increased fighting by NATO because of the risk to their ground troops.

But analysts said the inability of NATO to be effective in Bosnia could hinder the alliance at a time when it is trying to expand its protective.
