Two weeks ago the Langan sen- Ior became, as he termed it, “bombed out of my mind" and shot two holes in the wall of his room. one in o trash can in the hall, and one in the ceiling of another stu- dent's room. The student had several guns in his room at the time, none of which had been registered with the Dean of Men as prescribed in Article V. section 3, of the men's house rules. After the incident, a meeting was held by the members of Lan— gan basement and the student was offered two alternatives, He could turn himself over to the Men's Primary Court, or he could hope that he would get away with the shootings by using a cover of si- lence pledged by the meeting of Langan basement. The student chose the latter and the next day he took his guns off campus and put them in the care of a friend, 0n the morning of Wednesday, Jan, 27, 5. Eugene Thompson, dean of men, went to the student’s room and stated the lacts that the dean said he had learned "from a llalirdozen different sources in the span of a couple of days." Dean Thompson told the student that the Faculty Committee on Student Affairs would meet that af« temoon, The dean recommended that the student begin packing im- mediately because he wanted the student out of town that day. Thompson said that the student asked for a civil trial where he could confront his accusel's, but the dean told him.

The student went to the For- um last Week in the Company of several other students, all of whom apparently had been drinking, When Mrs. Hawk had the student escorted out, he be— gan to use obscene language. S. Eugene Thompson, dean of men, termed the incident “an outrageous way to be- have." He stated that the sus- pension came, as all suspen- sions must, through the Facul- ty Committee on Student Af- fairs, and was effective immed» iaiely, ‘ Thompson said that “there has been some trouble with drunks in the Forum.” He added that the CofHP has pr0< posed that house presidents be allowed to handle the problem by having its members spend time at the Forum “ushering out drunks." “It might help the issue to have students, rather than non- students, working on the prob- lem," Thompson said. Referring to the suspended student, Thompson said, “I don't think he planned the inci— dent. The student isn‘t a chronic trouble maker. He just didn't handle himself well, His sus- pension is a result of the Whole affair, not any one aspect."
