Discussion of the sorority prob lem of affiliating transfers was led by a special committee chaired by Miss Isabelle MacLeod. Al though definite plans will be voted upon at the council's next meeting, the following suggestions were made: 1. That the first six transfers will count of a point in the sorority quota, and all above that will not count in the quota or 2. That all transfers will count V of a point of the quota or 3. That there will be a guaranteed number of open places for new pledges regardless of the number in the quota though the quota will be maintained at a certain number. The Pan-Hell also approved the boarding schedule for the German girl who will be here next year on a Galltinger scholarship. During exam week sorority houses will be closed as standard procedure, the council said.

Coliman, who made a report to Hugh Patterson, chairman of the Men's Honor Council. Gershenson is pleading not guilty to the charges. Gershenson's request that the press be present was made in writ ing to Patterson, who told this reporter that all Honor Council trials were closed to the public, and that members are sworn to sec recy. However, he admitted that Gershenson or any other defend-1 ants are still free to make any statements about their own trials.' that they so desire. The bill was written by Jim ' Crownover (SP) after the session of legislature had already begun; the bill was also typed while legis lature was in session. It was then introduced by Crownover under new business. Special orders were moved by Bill Miller so that im mediate action could be taken on the bill. The special orders were passed by a voice vote,. and the bill passed by a unaziimous vote. Ileccnsi dera il on was moved by Troy Blanton (CIPP) and the motion Was defeat ed. The bill will go into effect as soon as it is signed by Student Body President Charlie Gray. Before Gershenson's trial began Patterson had ruled that only one defense counsel could be present during the trial. This decision was appealed by Norman B. Smith, one of Gershenson's counselors. Curtis Gans is the other counselor for Gershenson. The appeal was passed by the Honor Council and both Smith and Gans were allowed to sit in on the trial. The bill provided that the Men's Honor Council, the Women's Coun cil, the ..Women's Honor Councils and the Student Council will be notified that the Student Legisla ture "hereby stipulates that in the future any defendant who de sires a public trial be granted one." It further states that all stipu lations concerning secrecy and oaths of restrictive nature in the three councils by-laws are "here by absolved in cases where the de fendant desired a public trial and only when he so desired such a trial." Reasons listed for the enact ment of the bill were: That there' "have been occasions in the past when certain defendants before the three major councils have de sired public trials and all civil and criminal court trials are open to the public and it is a violation of the Bill of Rights and of man's in alienable rights for him not to have a public trial if he. so de sires. Gershenson's' trial may be ap pealed and may be retried. When the news that the legisla ture had' passed the bill reached the "waiting room" on the second floor of Carroll Hall, a rear-bedlam immediately broke loose. And as those directly and indirectly con cerned with the trial waited for some word from Charlie Gray the tension and anxiety grew. In the absence of Patterson, who had to leave, Howard Holderness, vice-chairman of the council, stat ed that if the trial began before the bill reached the counciL the press would not be allowed to en ter the council room. 1 The bill never made it. .. nit, Cj-JlUAJ
