[ment. Further, we demand that, | the proceedings and results of this, (investigation be open to all in-! | teres ted persons.” j | The party had a short but i j heated discussion in which one 1 l student asked who would con- { i duct the investigations if the 1 | petition was well-received by ; ( SGA.
