By TIM LOGAN Senior Staff W riter

Funny. Loyal. Resilient. This is how Brionne Clary’s friends will remember the junior, who died last Wednesday of complications from leukemia. “She was an amazing person,” said Kate Downen, who would have lived across from Clary this year in Welsh Family Hall. “Sometimes she could be crazy, off the wall. She was the most caring, deep-down wonderful person.” Clary loved basketball, and she played on Welsh’s inter­ hall team and a Bookstore Basketball squad that reached the Final Four of last year’s women’s tournament. The Welsh team will frame her number 51 jersey and put it and a plaque in the dorm, said Katie Rak, a teammate of Clary. Photo courtesy of Sarah Miller

Russians charge U.S. businessman: Russian prosecutors said Wednesday they have officially charged U.S. businessman Edmond Pope with spying, clearing the way for a trial expected to begin next month. Pope, 54, has been held in Moscow's Lefortovo prison since April 5, when Russia’s Federal Security Service arrested him and said he had illegally bought plans for a high­ speed torpedo. “As the result of the investiga­ tion, Pope has been incriminated in espi­ onage," said a statement by the Prosecutor- General’s Office. The action was mainly pro­ cedural, but prosecutors could have asked for more time to investigate, drawing out the case. Officials have said the trial would take place in October, though no specific date has been set. He faces 20 years in prison if con­ victed.

Not exactly what the high school All-American anticipat­ ed. “For the first half of the first semester [last year], I didn’t think I had to study,” Paine said. “When that first test came out...” Just say he studied after that. For Paine, currently Notre Dame’s starting center, receiv­ ing the grade on the exam was the culmination of a rocky freshman campaign. He arrived here with all the typical honors: first-team All USA Today, consensus top 100 national prospect, All-State selection. But like many of his teammates, Paine had second thoughts about his college choice during summer practice. “Two a days are not fun,” Paine said. “Every day I came home [to his dorm] wanting to go home. I was everything com­ ing in, then when we were here with just the freshmen, I was still everything. When the first day of pads came, with the var­ sity coming back, I went to the back of the line.” He did not stay there for long.
