Before the "Gamecock" went to press Wednesday night it was learned from a reliable source that the Discipline Committee expelled the two students in volved with a "dishonorable dis charge." This type of expulsion makes it practically impossible to gain admittance to any ac credited school. The incident will be recorded on their per manent records. The discipline action was prompted when two students were caught going through a desk in Leconte College late Sunday night, March 7. Dr. Julian J. Petty, of the Geography Department surprised the two boys when he returned to his office late that night. Refuses Information The Gamecock contacted Mr. Karesh Thursday afternoon but the Discipline Committee chairman re fused to give any information con cerning discipline action. He said that although most of the campus knew of the incident, he was reluctant to give it because it might "add to the punishment," although no names were to be published. He went on to say that he considered it of little news value and that it would give bad pub licity to the school. He further stated that he did not know the policy on such matters and would have to get approval by the ad ministration before releasing it. A similar story was printed two years ago involving Discipline Committee action in connection with the Sims "panty raid." The account was judged the best col lege news story of the year by the South Carolina Collegiate Press Association. Jackson Opposed Dr. William H.
