Top Democrats force
closed Senate session
WASHINGTON
— Democrats forced the
Republican-controlled Senate
into an unusual closed session
Tuesday, questioning intel-
ligence that President Bush
used before the war in Iraq
and accusing Republicans of
ignoring the issue.
'They have repeatedly cho-
sen to protect the Republican
administration rather than get
to the bottom of what hap-
pened and why," Democratic
leader Harry Reid said.
Taken by surprise,
Republicans derided the
as a political stunt.

Whispers of fiftuster
increase in Senate
WASHINGTON
— Supreme Court nomi
nee Samuel Alito is "clearly
within the mainstream" and
shouldn't be filibustered, said
a Republican who helped
fashion a plan limiting parlia-
mentary roadblocks for judi-
cial nominees.
Sen. Mike DeWine (R-
Ohio|, who met with President
Bush's latest high court choice
Tuesday, warned Democrats
he would side with GOP lead-
ers to eliminate the judicial
filibuster if the minority party
uses it against Alito.
"It's hard for me to envision
that anyone would think about
filibustering this nominee,"
said DeWine, who sided with
13 other Republicans and
Democrats earlier this year to
end a Senate stalemate over
judicial filibusters

A fraternity began to conduct
its own search for answers as the
Norman Police Department inves-
tigation of a student selling fraudu-
lent IDs on campus continues.
Various parties are looking into
the matter of fake IDs on campus
after a Kappa Sigma fraternity
member's room was searched by
Norman police. Investigators said
they suspected the particular indi-
vidual of producing fake IDs.
Norman Police Lt. ID Younger
said Norman Police are in posses-
sion of about 20 fake IDs as a result
of the investigation, but they said
there could be more.
"There are potentially several
hundred IDs out there," Younger
said.
Norman Police have yet to
release the name of the individ-
ual in question. Andrew Smith,
mechanical engineering senior and
Kappa Sigma fraternity president,
said Norman Police have also asked
him not to release the name.
Smith said he wants to make it
clear that the fraternity does not
endorse the production of fraud-
ulent IDs. He said Kappa Sigma
is doing its best to cooperate with
Norman Police.
"We understand the severity
of the allegations and have been
cooperating fully with the Norman
Police Department and other
involved agencies," Smith said.
Smith said the fraternity is also
conducting its own investigation.
Younger said even though the
investigation is continuing, no
charges have currently been filed
against the individual.
“(The suspect] was investigated
as manufacturing driver licenses,”
Younger said.
Smith said Kappa Sigma frater-
nity was not involved in any ille-
gal activity that the individual may
have participated in.

Duncan ordered the

Music waltzes through the halls of Catlett Music
Center, but the tune is not being played by a music major.
The middle-of-the-road student, not a musical prodi-
gy, is hitting that middle C.
The music was coming from a classroom of students
learning the fundamentals of piano.
Since most majors at OU require elective courses,
many students are in classes that aren't related to their
major. . . „
Ed Gates, professor of piano, said there are several stu-
dents who take piano classes who are not piano or music
majors. .
