The preliminary hearing for Alexander James Krzyston, 22, was moved back two weeks after prosecutors told the judge they weren’t ready to proceed.

Krzyston, who was a McCormick student last spring, was charged a month ago with unlawfully providing alcohol to a minor.

Evanston police said Sunshine participated in a drinking game on the night of June 9, and that Krzyston provided the alcohol. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office said that Sunshine’s .396 blood-alcohol level that night directly contributed to his death.

Asked Wednesday about the case, Krzyston declined to comment. He is to return on Jan. 27 to the Cook County Circuit Courthouse in Skokie, Ill.

Famous for his Introduction to Sociology class, Moskos taught at Northwestern for more than 40 years and was beloved by students.

He was also deeply influential for his expertise on the armed forces, widely cited by journalists and scholars and known for crafting the “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy that governs homosexuals serving in the military.

“Charlie was a great teacher, scholar, public policy influential and friend. He was great for Northwestern and will be missed,” President Henry Bienen said in a statement. A memorial service at Northwestern will be held soon, Bienen said.

Northwestern Provost Daniel Linzer called Moskos’s teaching “legendary,” while Mary Pattillo, chair of the sociology department, said Moskos would be “irreplaceable.”

He “died peacefully in his sleep after a valiant struggle with cancer,” according to an e-mail from his wife, sent to journalist James Fallows.

Moskos was diagnosed with a relapse of prostate cancer in August 2006, and took time off for treatment. He returned to teach classes again this past fall, but announced at the end of this year that he would not return, because of health reasons.

He wrote numerous books and research articles, and was given the Distinguished Service Award, which is the Army’s top honor for a civilian.

Moskos was “a remarkable man” and a “renowned scholar,” said Gen. David H. Petraeus, the commanding general in Iraq, in a statement.

According to a Northwestern statement, Moskos is survived by his wife of 41 years, Ilca; son Andrew, daughter-in-law Saskia and grandchildren Finn and Aidan, of Amsterdam, the Netherlands; and son Peter and daughter-in-law Zora O’Neill, of Astoria, N.Y.

A wake will be held Thursday from 4 to 9 p.m. at the Smith-Corcoran Funeral Home, 6150 N. Cicero Ave. The funeral will begin at 10 a.m. the following day at St. Andrew’s Greek Orthodox Church, 5649 N. Sheridan Road.

Charlie excelled as a scholar, teacher, mentor and in the quality of his friendships. While I treasure all Charlie’s gifts, it is his friendship and loyalty I will miss most.

– Aldon Morris, interim chair of Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences

Charlie had the kind of career at Northwestern that legends are made of, except in his case the stories of having taught tens of thousands of students with that perfect mix of rhythm and rigor are no exaggeration! The sociology department will miss him dearly. He is irreplaceable.

– Mary Pattillo, Professor of Sociology and African American Studies

Despite his success and notoriety, Charlie remained a patriotic, humble man who deeply believed in the virtue of public service for its own sake. He frequently lunched with four-star generals and members of Congress, but never let that swell his head.

– Phillip Carter, Washington Post military affairs writer and U.S. veteran

He had a very generous spirit and was always ready to laugh at himself. The one subject, in my experience, that he considered No Laughing Matter was the excellence of Greek-Americans, as compared with any other subset of humanity. As Ilca Hohn Moskos said in her message, “He was an academic, but not pretentious, funny, but not silly.” A very good man.

– James Fallows, reporter for The Atlantic

For those of us who served, there was simply no one else like him. He was analytical but personal, dispassionate but caring, and above all, a respected, thoughtful friend to so many of us in the military. I first met him at a conference at West Point in the early 1970’s, read almost everything he wrote, and I continued to see him periodically and correspond occasionally for over three decades. He truly had an impact on the military, and he gave many of us the reassurance that someone out there knew us, cared about us, and could help see our best interests as a nation and a military were looked after.

– Gen. Wesley Clark

Charles was a remarkable man, a renowned scholar who repeatedly offered thoughtful advice and thought-provoking ideas on the challenges with which we have grappled over the year.

– Gen. David H. Petraeus, commanding general in Iraq
