Matheny Raf Lakenheath England defending Citadel a few years ago an All female College was in the news when its administration voted to allow men into the school because of financial reasons. The students protested for weeks and finally the administration reversed its earlier position and decided to remain an All female institution.

Commentary by the new York times in resigning on thursday from the Senate Bob Packwood invoked Douglas Macarthur a famous words about duty Honor and country and the senator actually had the Gall to argue that he had decided to do a the honorable  the Senate and the nation should not let Relief at being rid of an unworthy legislator override a decent regard for the facts. What really happened of course is that sen Bob Dole and the gop leadership withdrew their political Protection leaving Packwood a Well deserved Choice Between walking out and being kicked out. Far from an a a outrageous departure from fairness As Packwood has charged the unanimous decision by the Senate ethics committee to recommend expulsion from the Senate for sexual and official misconduct flowed from a close study of the evidence by a committee that began deliberations with its Republican members inclined toward protecting Packwood. Finally they were revolted by the unworthiness of the Man they sought to protect. Packwood tried to save himself with a shabby a i forget defense and legalistic arguments that accused fellow senators of not following the rules of fairness that would prevail in a criminal court but the Senate itself under the Law and the Constitution was a legitimate forum for this Case. The leading members of the ethics committee chairman Mitch Mcconnell of Kentucky and the ranking Democrat Richard Bryan of Nevada were fair and meticulous in assembling a detailed account of Packwood a sexual assaults his alteration of his diaries and his attempt to use his influence to secure employment for his wife Packwood resigned because his friends told him that once this information was Laid before the deliberative body the full membership of the . Senate he would lose on the facts. No doubt some will argue that pack Wood could have been handed a lesser but still severe punishment such As censure and loss of his chairmanship of the Senate finance committee. Perhaps that a would have sufficed from a reasonably is too late repentant senator. But Packwood a insults toward those he wronged and his impudent expectation that the old boys would save him cried out for repudiation by the ethics committee and the full membership. There Are lessons Here for the ethics process. Mcconnell spent the better part of the summer fighting to avoid holding Public hearings. We supported sen Barbara Boxer in her Campaign for such hearings an open process is the Best Way for the Public to be assured that the ethics committee has made an appropriate decision in a Given Case. In deed had there been hearings and his female accusers allowed to testify Packwood might have been More reluctant about trying to portray his bad habit of physically assaulting women As harmless attempts to grab a kiss or to dose male about his Clear tampering with evidence sought by the committee. But in the end the ethics committee reached a proper judgment and Packwood departs too late but with the Burden of shame he has earned. 5015ap to m1kbh�v, j Pont of Steep 7ht$ atom amp War two of feb mom Coz 775 Uva pry Mph Cam a a rum i want a \ the 1puth is folks Hap no  up fax Afao wits eau amp pm nmn Ever make that mistake again j love him he so amp but can Jug amp fat Cut off his ski
