CARUSO The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA A federal appeals court on Monday barred the Defense Department from withholding funds from colleges and universities that deny access to military recruiters. The 3rd Circuit Court of Apjvals said a decade-old federal law which allows withholding the funds infringes on the free speech rights of schools that wish to limit on-campus recruiting in response to the military's ban on homosexuals.

Killing in a law suit brought by a coalition of more than a dozen law schools, a three-judge panpl said the government's threat to withhold funding amounted to compelling tlv schools to take part in speech they didn't agree ith. "The Solomon Amendment requires law schools to express a message that is incompatible with their educational bbjec-tives." the court wrote. By a 2-1 vote, the panel overturned an earlier decision by a federal judge that those challenging tin law were unlikely to prevail at trial Tlv ruling affects all institutions of higher learning, but the case revolved around law schools because most had developed policies prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. Monday's ruling represented tlv first time a cmiri-lias barred th" government from enforcing the law. The Justice Department, which represented the government in nir case, said it was reviewing its appeal options.

"The Inited States continues to hMiev" hut the Solo mini Amendment is constitutional, the agency said in a statement. One judge on the panel wrote a stinging dissent, saying he was disturbed that law schools would ignore the consequences that a recruiting ban would have on the military's ability to coin-vte with law firms for young talent. The two-judge majority based its decision in Kirt on an earlier 'Suprenv ('ourt ruling that the Buy Scouts of America could bar homosexuals from liecoming scouts or troop leaders. The court reasoned that if the Boy Scouts could legally reject gays because it had a core belief that homosexuality is illegitimate behavior. then other insti-tur it ms mid imx se an ippusit" type of restriction if it had a core value that discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is wrong.

Pursley said.

A safety notice to aviators by the FAA said the tower's lights were out of service until Dec. 8. The Black Hawk is the Army's workhorse helicopter thai the military began using in replacing the l'H-1 "Huey" that was extensively used in Vietnam. An 11-person infantry squad can be flown faster than in. previous helicopters and in most weatlvr conditions, according to an Arms fact sheet.
