John Davis, anatomy professor MILLAGE, from Page IB Another at-risk program helps expelled students with educational, social and behavioral support during their year-long expulsion.

Mildred Murray said the program helped her son and she would like to see it expanded. "A lot of times you don't know what's available until something happens," she said. "It gave my child a second chance." WCCC millage supported A coalition of elected officials and civic leaders on Tuesday urged voters to approve one mill for Wayne County Community College on Nov. 3, saying the college's past problems ended with a new regime two years ago. An ongoing investigation by the FBI is nothing more than a review of old allegations that were already resolved and did not lead to criminal prosecution, said Wayne County Prosecutor John O'Hair, who asked the FBI to investigate.

"There is no basis for anyone to draw any adverse inferences" about the current operation of WCCC, O'Hair said. Detroit City Council President Maryann Mahaffey said WCCC, under its new president Rafael Cortada, "is clean and we need it" Others urging support for the mill-age were Wayne County Executive Ed McNamara, New Detroit Inc. President Paul Hubbard, U.S. Rep. John Conyers, a Detroit Democrat, and the mayors of several cities.

The millage, which would replace state subsidy of the college, would generate about $14 million annually over three years. Voters defeated it in August, forcing closure of the college's Western Campus in Belleville.

Before going, students write about what they anticipate; later, they produce a factual account plus a more personal piece.

Not everyone who's heard about the class agrees it's a good idea. Macomb County Medical Examiner Dr. Werner Spitz said it is an inappropriate use of cadavers. "I find it distasteful. Let them get their inspiration in a different way," he said.

The director of the Michigan State University program that provides the bodies to Alma said she was unaware bodies were being used in a writing class. "If we had been asked, we would have said no," said Kristin Lfles. She said she would initiate a review of the college's use of donated bodies. But Dr. Jack Kevorkian, a crusader for assisted suicide, said Palmer's class points up a deficiency in American society.

"The fact that seeing a dead body is considered an unusual experience shows how much we have distanced ourselves from death," he said.

Dept. S1021 I Detroit, MI 48231 0 Way Torch Drive OUR B3RD YIAR OF SfRVICI announced Tuesday they have raised $33 million, more than half of this year's target of $63.6 million. The Torch Drive, which began Sept. 22 and ends Nov. 5, supports 145 health and human services agencies serving 1.8 million people in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties.

Dubbed "Reach for the Goal," this year's campaign hopes to raise $900,000 more than last year. Kosins and rosins ig a To State Lawrence, a widower, was worth $6 million. The money was to have been evenly divided among his five children. If Stephen Lawrence is convicted, his share of the money would go to his two children, according to testimony from a bank official handling the estate. If convicted of first-degree murder, Lawrence faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole.

Electrocuted man found 2-3 days after death LUDINGTON Police on Tuesday were investigating the electrocution death of a 19-year-old Ludington man whose body was found at a Consumers Power Co. substation. The body of Arthur Gutschke was found about 6 p.m. Monday night on the substation grounds by a child walking nearby, said Ludington Police Chief Walter Taranko. An autopsy found the man had been electrocuted two to three days before his body was found.

Gutschke was reported missing Oct. 17. Consumers Power spokeswoman Merri Jo Bales had no further details but said the company would conduct its own investigation. Landlord tenant deaths apparently murder-suicide REED CITY A landlord and his tenant were found dead Tuesday in an apparent murder-suicide, state police said. The bodies were found in the front yard of a home in Lincoln Township owned by Arnold Holmes, 55, of Ashton.

Troopers said it appeared Holmes' tenant died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The 57-year-old man's name was withheld pending notification of relatives. Investigators said there was no sign of a struggle and it was unclear what happened. Doors Don't Closed Miss 'til 3 p.m. I 1 1 It Jury mulls case of man charged with killing father Hastings A jury on Tuesday began deliberating the fate of a Barry County man charged with setting the fire that killed his millionaire father.

Stephen Lawrence, 37, has been held in the county jail since his April arrest on first-degree murder and arson charges in the Feb. 20 death of Willard Lawrence. The 74-year-old was the retired president of the Felpausch Food Co. grocery chain. The 12-member jury deliberated about an hour before adjourning just after 5 p.m.

and is scheduled to resume today. Stephen Lawrence has denied the charges. The father and son lived next door to one another in the exclusive Elmwood Beach area of Gun Lake. Lawrence said they were close. But earlier in the five-week trial, the suspect's siblings testified their father had bailed his son out of financial trouble several times, something that had strained their relationship.

Ken DeMott of the Barry County Sheriffs Department said Lawrence was the only member of the family not visibly upset at the fire scene.
