Professor Alan Heimert chocked off the potential unpleasantness with a motion, reminiscent in its face-saving ingenuity of the diplomatic maneuver used to free the Pueblo crew. But whether the Faculty actually overturned the Ad Board or merely amended its recommendation with an innovation the board could not have proposed itself is beside the point, College administrators (like Grayson Kirk) forced to handle student discipline by themselves are in a hopeless bind because they do not have the authority to make their decisions stick.
