But the IST blast was "larger and more powerful" than last month's explosion, Krasny s a i d. It ripped open the heavy metal doors of the Institute's East Wing and shatfered a dozen windows along the side of the seven-story building. "The concussion apparently was terrific. It was so powerful it sent a metal piece of that door rocket- ing down a hallway more than 80 feet and into a wooden door, Kras- ny said. Police said a preliminary in-I vestigation indicates the explosive device, probably dynamite sticks with a simple fuse, was detonated just outside the door of the east wing. Investigators have determined that the dynamite used in the CIA office bombing was detonated just outside the office. Krasny said three janitors were in the building at the time of the explosion and that one of them had checked the door where the blast occurred less than five min- utes before the explosion. The North Campus site of the IST building is relativvely seclud- ed an afforded an easy escape for those who planted the bomb, police said. Police sealed off the east wing immediately after the bombing and University officials said an estimate of the damage could not be made until the bomb experts complete their investigation and reopen that section of the build- ing. However, Director of Business Operations James Brinkerhof, said to his knowledge there was no major damage to the interior of the building or its research equip- ment.

With over 30 members needed for a quorum, about 15 appear. They wait about 30 minutes in the vain hope that a quorum will miraculously materialize. A debate ensues on the question of adjournment, but a motion to adjourn is ruled out-of-order be- cause the meeting has never offi- cially begun since there, is no quorum. Sometimes the members decide to unofficially discuss proposals which had been presented at an earlier unofficial meeting. Some- times new proposals are unofficial- ly introduced. Sometimes everyone leaves. Even the proposals which have been half-heartedly presented of- fer little that is new, or are con- sidered unworkable by most of those who bother to show up. The most radical proposal for restructuring has been made by Con-Con's most politically con- servative members, College Repub- lican President Michael Renner His proposal suggests the elec- tion of 20 representatives from 10 equally apportioned geographical wards. However, most Con-Con* mem- bers feel the difficulty in struc- turing and the increased ease in stuffying ballot boxes makes the system undesirable. None of the other proposals calls for a substantive change in the present structure of SGC. John Koza, grad, has submitted a detailed constitution which in- cludes a provision for the forma- tion of student unions. However, as Koza readily admits, his pro- posal is almost identical to the present system. Even the student union provi- sion afords nothing new. In the Koza plan unions are given equal status with student organizations. Under the present structure, a student union could just as easily form and gain recognition as a student organization. Con-Con has also been consider-, ing a brief submitted by Mark Rosenbaum, '70, which calls for the formation of a National Stu- dent Lobby. The proposed organization, as: its name implies, would have a nation-wide base of support and would take a significant interest in politics. However, Rosenbaum's brief suggest no structural changes in student government at the Uni- versity. Some support for electing rep- ; esentatives to student government from each academic unity was ex- pected to materialize. But the fail- ure of Con-Con itself has virtually destroyed the possibility of that support, because Con-Con mem- bers were elected from precisely that kind of academic ward sys- tem Without a quorum, any pro- posal Con-Con might produce would carry no more weight than the suggestion of any ad hoc group of students. Only if it held an official meeting could the con- vention place its proposal on the SGC ballot for ratifciation by the student body.

The jury deliberated for about 25 minutes before bringing in their verdict. IHA resigns from SGC right to associate." 1 The effect, said Black, violates the 14th amendment which guar- antees to all citizens "the equal protection of the laws," and the first amendment which indirectly safeguards the right to form po- litical parties. Black said Ohio had failed to show "a compelling state interest" to justify "such unequal burdens on minority groups." Chief Justice Earl Warren, in dissent, said neither the Wallace party nor the Socialists made an effort to comply with Ohio's elec- tion laws. He said the majority of the court had, in effect, written a new presidential election law for the state of Ohio without giving the state legislature or state courts a chance "to eliminate any consti- tutional defects." Potter Stewart, who also dis- sented, said he might have been inclined to join the majority "if it were the function of this court to impose upon the states our own ideas of wise policy." However, Stewart said, the court was dealing not with the question of policy but with a problem of constitutional power. He added: "To me it is clear that, under the Constitution 'as it is written, the Ohio legislature has the power to do what it hae done." The third dissenter, Byron White, said "I do not understand how the Independent Party may be ordered on the ballot-over the objections of the state."
