Update on Murder By Glenn L Greenberg The suspect charged with the kil- ling of Stony Brook graduate student Arlene Miller on May 2nd was indicted on a charge of second degree murder yesterday, according to the office of Drew Biondo, Director of Communica- tions for the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office. Daryl Tolbert, age 36, of Stony Brook, is being held without bail for the stabbing death of Miller, a student in the Physician's Assistant Program at the university. In addition to the murder, Tolbert is also alleged to have stolen a state trooper's car and to have engaged in a exchange of gun fire with the trooper. Miller and Tolbert had one child together, a two year old daughter named Kimberly whom Tolbert took with him when he fled the scene of the murder. Miller was the mother of two other children. Tolbert will appear at a hearing in front of Judge Stuart Namm of the Statesman/Coney Cinco District Court of Riverhead on June 7th. ~RallyHeld For Champu Saffet -

Tom Morselli, captain of the team, was proud of the team's accomplishments. ',We were quite impressive, and next year's squad should be more so." he said, since the team is graduating only three seniors and an intensive recruiting program is in the works. "The wingers will now have three years experience, and the scrummers will be more experienced," he said. "We got great work out of Cesar (Buono, a scrummer), and of the rest of those guys." The team started out the year with a dis- appointing loss at the hands of C.W. Post, with the score ending 12-10. The 'B' team broke out early, but the game ended in an 8-8 tie. Following the Post loss, the 'A' team responded with a valiant effort at Hofstra, holding the Dutchmen to only seven points, but scoring none in response. The 'B' team, meanwhile, gained their first victory of the year with an 8-0 victory. "We played well in both Hofstra games, and we began to see a change in our team from last year," said Red Gaudioso, scrum- half and one of the seniors graduating.

They were 6-11 at home and 6-3 away. They were 8-10 in the Knickerbocker conference, placing fourth in that group. The Patriots began the season with a number of tough losses. In their first five games, the Pats dropped three in extra innings. Weather also hurt the Pats as many games were rained out early in the season. The Patriots opened the season by drop- ping a game at Staten Island 4-3 in ten innings. After dropping their home opener to St. Josephs 6-3, the Pats gained their second win of the season. Facing the Lehman Lancers at home in the snow, Joe Moran threw seven innings of relief to gain his first victory. That game was won in exciting fashion as the Pats took it in ten, 7-6. After losing eight of their next eleven games, a playoff bid for the Pats looked all but impossible. But then the Pats, 4-10 at that point, hit a hot streak. The Pats won eight of their last twelve to place fourth in the conference. Stony Brook, behind the bat of freshman Scott Sher- mansky who belted a three-run home run, crushed Manhattanville in the first round of the conference playoffs.
