By Thomas J. Sheeran Associated Press YOUNGSTOWN — Two men angry over a dispute at an Ohio fraterni- ty house party left the gathering and returned early Sunday, spray- ing bullets into a crowd and killing a Youngstown State University student, authorities said. Eleven other people were injured, including a 17-year-old who suffered a critical head wound. The men were arrested and charged later Sunday with aggravated murder, shooting into a house and 11 counts of felonious assault, Youngstown police Chief Jimmy Hughes said. The sus- pects are in their early 20s and from the Youngstown area, but Hughes withheld their names pending further investigation. “These guys were in the location for a little while before the shooting occurred,” he said. “Something hap- pened that they became unhappy. They had some type of altercation.” The shooting occurred at a two-sto- ry brick house in a neighborhood of once-elegant homes, many of which are now boarded up. The house par- ty had been bustling with 50 or more people early Sunday, Hughes said The Mahoning County coroner’s office identied the dead student as 25-year-old Jamail E. Johnson. He was shot once in the head and mul- tiple times on his hips and legs, and an autopsy is planned Monday, said Dr. Joseph Ohr, a forensic pathologist with the coroner’s office.

Morgan has historic precedent to follow: His grandfather, Arthur Morgan, salvaged the college in 1920 after its last closure. Morgan hired Mark Roosevelt, a known education reformer, who left the helm of the Pittsburgh schools for an opportunity “to re-examine how we deliver a liberal arts education in the 21st century.” Roosevelt, who has been on the job as Antioch president three weeks, laid out in broad strokes dur- ing an interview with the Dayton Daily News how Antioch could be a leader in higher education reform. “My view of American education is our system is broken,” he said. “We spend more than anyone else in the world. The dirty little secret is, in high- er education, only 53 percent of those who start nish.” Antioch will concentrate on student retention and the college’s long tradi- tion of cooperative education in the work force, he said. But the school still has a lot to overcome before it reopens with six full-time faculty and a “pio- neer” class of 25 students, who will attend tuition-free. Eric Fingerhut, Ohio Board of Regents chancellor, is eager to see the college succeed. “If there is any business that could use a new model, a new strategy, a new way of thinking about their busi- ness, it is higher education,” Fingerhut said. “I have a high level of condence they will succeed.” Egypt’s VP vows to grant rights Reopening Antioch College would set historic precedent CONTINUING COVERAGE Truckers, others to pass on high cost of diesel By Cornelius Frolik [email protected] The pain at the pump may be intense for motorists, but it pales in comparison to the nancial distress felt by Miami Valley area school dis- tricts, municipalities, trucking out- ts and bus service companies that are struggling to cope with rising diesel prices.
