The chancellor also revealed that the Men's Honor Council met Tuesday night and ruled that Moe's failure report fellow - student Loui Brown for attempting to bribe him on two occasions was not a violation of the honor code. Based On Denial The suspension, Chancellor Aycock made clear in a state ment released yesterday, is based not on the Honor Council decision but on Moe's denial of any involvement in the scan dal. "After three conferences with (Moe)," the statement re ported, "he still had not " di vulged the fact that he had re ceived $75 in connection with an attempted bribe in Septem ber, 1960." In a fourth conference, after being asked specifically by the chancellor whether he had ac cepted any money, Moe admitted that he had accepted the $75. A report last week in the Charlotte News said that Lou Brown told a reporter he had asked Moe to take the money and give it to him. Allowed To Withdraw The chancellor's statement al so said that Brown had been permitted to withdraw from :thg University on March 29, on the condition that he could ndt re turn without .the chancellor's permission. T h e withdrawal, Chancellor Aycock noted, "was Under other than honorable con ditions." Indefinite suspension is a less severe disciplinary punishment than expulsion, as was pointed out in the statement. However, Moe will not be considered for readmission before the spring semester of 1962.
