The justices will hear arguments next term in the case of a blind college student who was denied participation in a vocational training program because he was planning to study for the ministry. The high court Monday rejected two other cases involving students rights, keeping intact rulings that barred universities from denying homosexual student groups the right to meet on campus and students from door-to-door religious canvassing. The ministry case came from Washington state, which refused vocational rehabilitation funds to Larry Witters because of the con- CRIMESTOP 774-1234 Police received a number of burglary and theft reports Monday.

stitutional principle preventing entanglement of church and state. Witters was a student at Inland Empire School of the Bible in Spokane when he applied in 1980 to the state Commission for the Blind for the vocational aid. The commission ruled that Witters was medically eligible for the program but because of state and federal prohibitions against use of public money for religious purposes, he would not get the funding. The states highest court agreed, declaring that use of public funds for his' schooling would have the "primary effect of advancing religion in violation of the Constitution. Witters attorneys argued the funding would not force the state to advance religion illegally but would merely train him for suitable employment consistent with his medical condition.

In the gay students case, the court let stand a federal court ruling that discussing religion in dorm lobbies, fraternity houses and students rooms. In other action Monday, the court Upheld a state court ruling that overturned two narcotics convictions because the Oklahoma City police failed to obtain a warrant before searching a suitcase in the trunk of a car and a box on the front seat.

Texas erred in denying a homosexual student organization the right to meet on campus. A top college official denied the group use of campus facilities on the grounds that homosexual conduct was then illegal in Texas. But the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the universitys fear of illegal conduct was insufficient reason to trample the students First Amendment rights of free assembly and free speech. The religious solicitation case involved a policy of North Carolina State University that prevented door-to-door religious canvassing in dormitories.

Scott Chapman challenged the policy in 1980 when he was prohibited from going to dormitories to invite fellow students to attend a series of Scripture discussions. A federal appeals court upheld the university policy because it prevented only door-to-door solicitation and did not keep Chapman from Searchers Discover Body Law Enforcement Career Camp Slated mediately known, but Ellison said it was suspected the man suffered a heart attack because of his medical history.

Magistrate Ray Otero Jr. dismissed the Class 2 misdemeanor charge against Leroy Aragon, commander of the American Legion Post No. 3.

The City Attorneys Office brought the charges against Aragon following a Nov. 14 raid on the post and Veteran of Foreign Wars Post 1709. Aragon was charged with violating state gambling laws for having pull tab devices in the establishment. Court records indicate Otero dismissed the complaint on grounds that the pull tabs do not fall under state gambling statutes which outlaw any slot machine, punchboard or machine of like character. In a motion to dismiss the prosecution, Flagstaff attorney Jerry L.

Smith stated, Quite simply, the state is attempting to use a statute to accuse Mr. Aragon of illegal conduct where the statute does not even make the conduct a crime.
