mation officer, said in
vestigators were conducting a
mechanical analysis on the car
Wednesday to determine if
automotive failure contributed
to the cause of the accident.
Investigators are checking the
steering and brake systems, as
well as other mechanical items.
Birr said.
In addition, results of blood
tests run on the driver of the car,
Wendy Cook, Ifi, of Spr
ingfield. are expected today.
Birr said. The report probably
will not be made public until
after the investigation is com
plete, he added.
However, Assistant District
Attorney Bob Gorham said he
does not expect alcohol or drugs
were involved.
“I don't think well find
anything, to tell you the truth —
it's kind of a mystery." Gorham
said.
"There will !*• some resolu
lion about this case at the end of
the week. I think — at least in
terms of eliminating some of the
possibilities. There are some
things we'll probably never
know." Gorham added
According to Birr, criminal
charges, if any. will not l>e filed
against Gook until all evidence
and mechanical results have
been reviewed by the district at
torney's office.
Birr would not comment on
whether Gook faces criminal
prosecution.
“We know, of course, she
(Wendy) was driving without a
license — that seems to !»• very
cut and dry. Hut that still, in
and of itself, doesn't account for
the fact that there was an acci
dent when? three people died."
Hirr said,
"We need to conduct an in
vestigation that will tell us if
(hare was anything that may
have impaired her (Wendy’s)
judgment We need to see if
there was anything mechanical
ly wrong with the vehicle, and
there's a whole bunch of things
we've got to go through yet
liefore anything Is resolved.”
Hirr said.
Gorham put to rest specula
tion that Cook’s mother. Judith
Cook, could la? held criminally
responsible for the accident.
However, Judith CtM>k could la;
charged with a violation for
allowing her daughter to use the
car. Gorham said.
Bernard Sclikson. father of
Konni l.ynn Selikson, could not
!>e reached for comment at his
home in Seattle.
Repeated calls to the Cook
residence in Springfield yielded
no comment or additional infor
mation regarding the case.

ethically with what they set out
to do, she can work with them.
Sowards said of herself. She ad
ded this Executive is good at
thinking about how they are go
ing to proceed and then

Liz Casale. a junior in
physics, is used to studying on
the second floor, but said she
won't mind doing more study
ing at her apartment. "I like the
idea of more now books.”
Casale said “Professors are
more likely to appreciate your
papers when you use current
sources.”
Another student. Wei Sian,
said thu change is adequate for
summer hut not for fall "I
thought the smiting hud just
boon shifted. but it’s not right
that it's totally eliminated."

Sian added a crowded library
might force him to study at
home, which is usually too
noisy.
