Most of the drill sergeants at Aberdeen, 30 miles northeast of Baltimore, arc black, as are 11 other staff members charged with sexual misconduct The jury of two black men, three white men and one white woman convicted Simpson a week ago and took about 2 112 hours to reach a decision on his sentence for 18 counts of rape and 29 other offenses, mosdy other forms of sexual misconduct. The jury also ordered Simpson dishonorably discharged at the reduced rank of private, forfeiting all pay and pension benefits. Maj. Gen. John E. Longfcouser, commander of Aberdeen Proving Ground where Simpson worked, must approve the sentence. He may reduce it but not add to it. The sentence also will be automatically reviewed by the U.S. Army Court of Criminal Appeals. Some women's advocates considered the sentence lenient "If he were a civilian, he would not be sentenced to 25 years. He would be considered a serial rapist and would receive life in prison," said retired Air Force Lt Col Karen Johnson, vice president of the National Organization for Women. Others said the verdict sent a message that the military won't tolerate sexual misconduct "This should be a flare in the night," said Lt Col. Gabriel Riesco, chief of staff for the school, at Aberdeen. "Those sergeants and instructors out there trolling instead of training should think twice." The case prompted investigations into sexual misconduct at U.S. military bases worldwide. A sexual harassment hotline set up by the Army last November received more than 1,243 complaints by late April. Of those, 325 complaints have resulted in ongoing criminal investigations, 498 have been dosed, 310 were referred to other Army agencies because they didn't involve criminal allegations and 110 were in the preliminary investigative phase. At a congressional hearing in February, Army Secretary Togo West also defended continuing the Army's practice of mixed-gende- r training, begun in 1974, telling senators that the solution to sexual harassment cases is not to stop training women with men. Simpson's sentence also covered five lesser charges to which he had already pleaded guilty. He could be eligible for clemency in five years and eligible for parole after serving d of the sentence, or eight four months. He will be and years for serving nearly 14 credit given months. In dosing arguments, the prosecutor, Capt David Thomas, asked for the maximum penalty of life in prison "to send a message, not only to him but to drill sergeants past and future that what he did will not be tolerated." Defense attorney Capt Edward Brady had asked the jury to sentence Simpson to no jail time, saying the panel had already sent a mesone-thir- sage of deterrence with its guilty verdicts. "The first step toward rehabilitating a broken, humbled, defeated man is compassion," Brady said. He later told reporters the sentence and verdict were signals that r basic training should be reconsidered. "It's not working. It's a catastrophe and no one wants to say that," Brady said. mixed-gende- Pentagon spokesman Kenneth Bacon said Defense Secretary William Cohen has visited training bases and has heard the arguments r that "it makes sense to have mixed-gende- training." - -- Exmnrs The Lebank Ga2ay fa Lewis ing new watcaofan by Rich insnrTarirw Awe and an by and Kent Rgby tbroub Friday The galery is open Vfadaesday through Saturday from 5 pjn. to 9 242 S. 2C0 pin. and b located t jce Ytfcst r : PERFORMANCES Pafot ming Dance Company presents a "provocatr" spring concert May 9, 10, 16 and 17 at 730 pm, with a 2 pm. matinee May 17, in the Alice Sheets Marriott Center for Dance.
