The cold can't sink its teeth into this heavyweight Polartec® fleece.
If it gets too nasty, the Denali Jacket zips into a shell. Pit zips and
draft flaps keep you well ventilated. Taslan overlays complete this
jacket that’s both toasty and tough.

Fraternity suspended
from Michigan over
alcohol-related death
The Associated Press
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — A fra
ternity that provided alcohol to
a university freshman who fell
out of a window and died has
lost its campus charter.
The governing body of Phi
Delta Theta voted unanimously
to suspend permanently the
charter of its University of
Michigan chapter, Robert Biggs,
executive national vice presi
dent of the fraternity said Tues
day.
University officials said
Courtney Cantor, 18, had attend
ed parties Thursday at Chi
Omega sorority and at Phi Delta
Theta, drinking at the fraternity
party. She returned early Friday
to her sixth-floor dormitory
room and, according to investi
gators, accidentally fell through
a window that opened just 12
inches wide.
The daughter of Detroit News
columnist and editorial writer
George Cantor was found uncon
scious on a concrete loading
deck outside her dormitory. She
died of skull and spinal frac
tures.
An autopsy showed Ms. Can
tor’s blood-alcohol level was be
low the state’s legal definition of
intoxication. But Phi Delta Theta
had been ordered in 1995 by the
national organization to be alco
hol-free, Biggs said.
‘‘Last week, the chapter mem
bers broke their commitment to
keep their house alcohol-free,”
Biggs told the News in a report
today. ‘‘The culture of alcohol is
destructive to those values and
has no place in Phi Delta Theta.”
