False Testimony May In Hazing Case, DA
Bv LARRY FISHER Daily Trojan Editor
No members oi Kappa Sigma fraternity will face criminal prosecution for the hazing death of 21-year-old Richard Swanson, District Attorney William B. McKesson said yesterday.
"There is not sufficient evidence to show who was
ncgligeni in allowing the boy to
lose his life," ihe district attorney disclosed, “although it is quite possible that false testimony was given by some of the witnesses who testified at a coroners inquest into ihe death Tuesday.”
No Evidence
McKesson pointed out that he believed there was a possibility someone was “negligent in not saving the youth’s life," but that there is not enough evidence to fix the blame or to show who gave perjured testimony at the
inquiry.
Edgar Simon, attorney for the dead youth’s father Dr. Arthur Swanson, yesterday declared that “Dr. Swanson is very unhappy «bout the manner in which the investigation was conducted, and feels that if this should go unnoted and unpunished, it would be an incentive to do the same thing again.”
•‘Hearing Mishandled”
At the inquesl Tuesday, Simon charged that the hearing was mishandled and that “information was being hidden."
SC’s Dean of Students Robert Downev said yesterday that “From what we know of the incident from our own investigation, f feel the decision of the coroner's jury was proper.”
He pointed out, however, “That •it is not our position 1o determine whether or not, according to civil law, a crime was committed. Our concern in this incident has been strictly that of adherence to university policy and regulations. Any action taken on our part (the university’s) has been in light of these policies and regulations."
Less Retribution
Dr. William McGrath, assistant dean of students for men. also approved the verdict of the coroner’s jury. “The focus on the Swanson case should change from one of retribution and vendetta toward bettering all the rest of humanity which now is far more likely to commit folly than are the Kappa Sigs,” he said. "The Kappa Sigs wouldn't do this sort of thing again.”
City Councilman John C. Holland, chairman of the Council’s joint committee to study the incident in which Swanson met his death last September 17 after eating a large piece of liver in a fraternity initiation ritual, said yesterday that he wasn’t sure whelher the committee would continue its investigation since the coroner's jury failed to find evidence of criminal negligence in the case.
The council's original motion was to investigate the youth's death and 1o perhaps introduce

“When ‘Carousel’ was first, produced in 1945, it was hailed as an occasion in the theater, for it did not follow the usual format of a musical comedy,” explained Bill White, production manager.
Musical
He added that “Carousel" is considered a musical play because the story is given full weight «and value.
“Beautiful integration of story and music is what gives ‘Carousel' its musical charm.” White said.
The Rodgers and Hammerstein production will open on Thursday, Oct. 22. and continue its run through Oct. 24. It will finish on Nov. 6 and 7.

“Since thfc SC delegation will represent the United States or the USSR, it is imperative that we get organized right away,” Miss Boutell emphasized.
“We must complete intensive research on the foreign policy of the nation that we represent in order to enable us .to duplicate its actions in the student version of the UN,” she said.
Miss Boutell added that prospective delegates who are unable to take the test at the sched-

The abolition of monkeys and the temporary partial elimination of student parking were both passed unanimously by the ASSC Senate last night.
