WD Charge
Unfounded,
Says Galati
Joseph Galati, West Dorm
Council parliamentarian, issued
a statement yesterday regarding
an editorial which appeared in
Thursday's Collegian.
The editorial charged that Gal
ati was involved in a scheme "to
discredit'and undermine AIM ..."
It also said that "there is good
reason to believe that the plot
is supported and was even ..in
itiated by , a group of resident id
visers in •the area."
Galati's statement follows:
"This is to clear up the point
in Thursday's Collegian concern
ing the advisers from the Dean
of Men's office. I have never re
ceived any information concern
ing the" topic charged against
them and have not even con
ferred with the advisers from
that office.
"I want it completely under
stood that the West Dorm ad
visers and anyone connected with
them are completely innocent of
the charge that they initiated a
plan to secede from the AIM for
the West Dorm area, or even par
ticipated in the charge.
"I agree with the Collegian
that the advisers' job is to advise
and not to meddle in student
government affairs; and that is
all to my knowledge that they
have been doing."
