The inyeaiigai ee^&aefe- Society, and 'Us-
constitution is - still continuing with rumors about both
sides flying. As soon as one hears about a charge that's
supposedly been made, he hears*"! defense «or
countercharge following it.
And this condition may coirtiue for an undetermined „
length of time because the meeting held last night to
clarify everything was declared invalid just as'the first 'one-
was, ,Th is time it was because .of "procedural difficulties."
It occurs to us that there have been an extreme number
of seme-sort--of difficulties since the issue first surfaced.
No one was really sure whaL-Jwas^happening at the very
beginning and apparently that conditionf stiffexists, even
among the "knowledgeable parties" involved.
Though the Student Handbook expressly gives the
procedure for investigation of organizations and possible
constitutional violations, evidently those who need to read
it most don't. The case has not been treated pwperly from
the start, at least as far as that publication is conerned.
The first presentation of charges at the committee
aaceiiwg was ruled invalid because the head of the accused
organization was not allowed to be present. Now the
second presentation has been nullifi hree of the
accusers were not at the meeting when attorney general
interpreted the handbook as stating that five or more
students are to be there. Since the time of the delivered
charges is debateable. the 48 hour period, for the accused
to prepare a defense is not'applicable, Or if so it is ai least
confused. - • - ' \
In fact, there seems to be epiite a bit of confusion in the
matter. The committee cannot get together to have a valid
difficulty deciding which charges to present and how, hi
