Shooting
continued from page 1
Reeves said. Reilly, who was de
scribed as a white male with short
brown hair and wearing a blue and
white flannel shirt, was identified
by the fraternity members as the
person they had seen in possession
of a handgun.
After obtaining a search warrant,
officers inspected Reilly’s residence
and found a loaded 9 mm semi-au
tomatic handgun in his freezer.
Reilly was arrested and taken to
the Lane County Jail. EPD spokes
woman Jan Power said Reilly is still
in custody and will be formally
charged in this case with the unlaw
ful possession of a weapon and
felony use of a firearm. Reilly has a
previous record including a felony
charge in California.
Tim Berry, president of the Chi
Psi fraternity, said the grand jury
will meet Thursday, which is when
members of the fraternity will testi
fy. Berry said that until the members
testify, they will not comment on
the situation.
Reeves said during Reilly’s court
appearance, he will be formally
charged. Powers added that grand
juries often meet to sort out state
ments from witnesses and correct
original arrest charges if necessary.
Anyone with more information
about the case may contact Detec
tive Reeves at 682-5187.
Textbooks

grouped into one booklet.
He said students complain the
packets are too expensive, consid
ering it costs only five cents to copy
each page. But, he said, that is better
than paying for $60 books.
History Professor Julie Hessler
said she attempts to assign books
that cover the most important mate
rial but are also not too expensive.
“Price definitely makes a differ
ence,” she said.
She said she will sometimes as
sign a book that may be expensive
because it has a better treatment of
the topics she plans to teach, as well
as lending itself to the syllabus.
But not all professors on campus
take price into account when as
signing a book.
Angela Gore, an accounting pro
fessor, said there isn’t a great differ
ence in price among the books in
her field. Because of this, she choos
es the book that best covers what
she plans to teach.
“I look for the book that best
matches the points I make in class,”
she said.
Gore said another factor that can
influence a book’s price are the ad
ditions to the books that publishers
attempt to sell, such as study guides
or special CDs.
She said she only assigns the
book, and not the additions, be
cause she oftentimes finds the ex
tras not worth the extra cost.
Freshman Ricky Borgess said he
doesn’t normally read the books he
is assigned because he may not al
ways have time. He said he favors
professors using cheaper texts, such
as novels instead of traditional text
books, because they are more inter
esting, but also because they’re less
expensive.
But despite the high price of
books, Borgess said he still makes
the trek to the bookstore at the start
of each quarter.
“I still buy them, but I don’t know
why,” he said.
Vigil
continued from page 1
who lived nine blocks away from the
Murrah Building, which was the site
of the bombing. She spoke about be
ing at the hospital accompanying
friends that had suffered from the
tragedy — people who had to have
eyeballs and legs removed because of
what had happened to them.
While she said she understood
the people’s rallying against the
death penalty, she said she could
not understand how they could
pray for such a man.
“I’m appalled that you’re honor
ing a man who doesn’t care about
what he did,” she said. “I’m speak
ing for hundreds of people. ”
At the beginning of the vigil,
Stephen Mathison-Bowie, a pastor
from Central Presbyterian Church,
had read a statement that said he
and others against the execution
recognized that families and friends
of victims have experienced im
mense pain and anger as a result of
McVeigh’s crime.
But they also said killing him in
return is not the answer.
“There’s an issue about respect
ing humanity that’s important
here,” Mathison-Bowie said. “ The
death penalty doesn’t move us for
ward at all.”
Peg Morton, a member of the
Friends Meeting-Quakers, had also
read a statement from Bud Welch,
who lost his daughter Julie in the
bombing. In his letter, Welch urged
others not to support the death
penalty because it only perpetrated
the problem and could encourage
McVeigh supporters to avenge his
execution.
The letter also made the point
that McVeigh’s crime was commit
ted with the mentality that he had
waged a war against the govern
ment. He compared this “horren
dous” crime to that of the U.S. gov
ernment bombing Iraq and killing -t
innocent people in the process. This
act of “vengeance” was not some
thing the government should repeat
by killing him, the letter said.
A few audience members had
mixed feelings about the death penal
ty. Jim Asher, also a member of the
Central Presbyterian Church, said he
believes in executions only in the cas
es of the most heinous crimes such as
McVeigh’s. His biggest concern is that
people could get killed when they’re
actually innocent.
Vigil organizers did, however,
agree that society should be protect
ed from people like McVeigh. Some
pointed to life imprisonment and
counseling as other more “humane”
options.
“I don’t believe in killing people,”
Morton said. “We believe there’s
God in every person ... This is a
wake-up call that the death penalty
is not right even with such people
as Timothy McVeigh ... It’s a cycle
of violence and hate.”
