I Shadle said he was not contacted by the other officers at any time ( about eligibility requirements ( concerning his situation. - Meg Tilghman, treasurer of the Towers government, said because Shadle was not residing in a Towers dormitory when school began, he was ineligible to serve. :: - 1 The most recent Towers constitution makes no mention of this requirement.

"I enjoy being involved in Towers government," Shadle said. "It eives me a chance to meet a lot of people. I like to do things in my dorm." Parker admitted being upset at the situation and at not being properly informed. She said "they had already decided that he was not going to be president, these elite few who took over the government, headed by Meg Tilghman. It was illegal." Cynthia Forrest, Towers area manger, was told by one of the officers that Shadle had simply resigned. She knew none of the facts. IF SHADLE IS RULED ELIGIBLE to serve as president, since he will soon be a resident, impeachment proceedings are a possibility, according to Tilghman. Shadle stated he may fight such action. "It depends on how much hassle it is for me," he said. 'We want to run the government and we want to do it now. We can't wait on ///?. ? Meg THghman.
