Case Summarized

Weaver Gaines, a third-year law
student who is advising Messrs.
Chase and Longfellow gave a brief
summary of their case.

Councilman Pieter Schenkkan,
himself a dormitory counselor,
suggested that the case of these
two students was irrelevant to
the motion, and the Council should
not act as "a court of appeals"
but that the students' complaint
should be carried through different
channels.

The motion then passed with a
large majority.
