That said, however, we urge the Ad Board to publish detailed descriptions of its cases each year without attaching names to them, an idea former Dean of the College L. Fred Jewett '57 said he would support.

The majority opinion appears to be that the Ad Board was not justified to punish me for the article. Although the Ad Board's decision still irks me, I am more concerned with the injustice that will be meted out by the Ad Board in the future if something is not done. Before the Ad Board is able to brush this incident under...
