I thought it was valid, although I didn't get a chance to read over it too closely." Haberle added, however, that he was not sure whether the other student leaders who make up Executive Council will be satisfied. Executive Council, plus the Association of Residence Hall Students and the Graduate Student Association, had passed resolutions calling for a public investigation of the incident. Student trustee Dave Hickton also supported such a move. ARHS President Jeff Glazier said he had not read the report closely enough to comment. GSA President Dianne Taylor and Hickton were unavailable for comment Haberle said he considers Eddy's report to be a public disclosure of the incident. The report that was released was prepared from separate undisclosed reports from Director of University Safety David E. Stormer and Otto E. Mueller a retired University official who was asked to conduct an "independent review" of the matter. Executive Council members had also said they were concerned as to why Stormer did not report the accident Nationalist Chinese Party members that reunification of Taiwan and China's modernization drive ranked first on the national agenda. Teng, 74, was quoted as telling visiting congressmen: "We know well that Sen. Goldwater does not very much approve of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our two countries, but never theless I would like you to convey to him my greetings and express to him that we welcome him for a visit to China." In Washington, Goldwater press aide Tony Smith said the conservative Arizona Republican would not comment until he receives an official invitation. gleff4 taa I,s ta4th "au i tc , z he/I/tiny,ll7 ma/e ithilant&ofiie pniect itch 2 4ffecead. ;Ware n VPal IWie ferry.l Contact Lenses Hard Lenses $105.00* Soft Lenses $185.00* • single vision lenses includes complete vision examination Dr. Marshall L.

Eddy's report quoteg Stormer saying he did not tell the provost of the accident because, at the time, he considered the incident a result of the officer's negligence and not a breach of law or policy. Under the gun policy instituted Nov. 6, failure to report such an incident would be a breach of policy. Academic Assembly President Randy Albright said he is neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with Eddy's report, but said he would like to speak with the provost about it.
