BRIEF: Death penalty to be focus at debate

The debate, which is sponsored by the University chapter of the Federalist Society, is intended to bring out "alternative viewpoints not often brought out in the law school," according to the chapter's president, Anthony Cianciotti. Scheduled to speak are Richard Willard, a former assistant attorney general, and David Rudovsky who teaches at the Law School. The society has provided a forum for debate several times before, bringing in officials to talk about flag burning and the First Amendment as well as affirmative action. The debate is scheduled to start at 4:15 p.m. in room 1 of the Law School. It is free and open to all members of the University community. -- Dan Schwartz
