Judge Cambell said, "The question
is: Can an educational institution
appoint anyone it chooses and say
he is entitled under law to receive
confidential communication and
have these protected?"
During Tarrant's trial last week
for perjury, Feldkamp testified
that when Tarrant was hired a
month ago, no checks were made
into his background or education.
"We relied on the truthfulness
of his statements," he said. "We
felt he met the requirements."
After hearing final arguments
on the status of Tarrant when he
talked to the fourth student ac-
cused of assault, Judge Cambell
told Ryan and Shea that he would
take the case under advisement
and issue a written opinion on it
later.

The charges of falsifying infor-
mation was based on testimony
'Tarrant' gave at a contempt-of-
court hearing in Washtenaw Cir-
cuit Court after he refused to re-
veal the confidential information.}
During the hearing, Assistant
County Prosecutor Thomas Shea
presented the court with an ela-z
borate probe into Tarrant's back-I
ground, which in several instances
conflicted with Tarrant's testi-
mony on his personal history.
Subsequently, Circuit Judge Ross1
Cambell found Tarrant guilty of
perjury and sentenced him to 12
days in jail.
Tarrant was hired as assistant
housing director a month ago andJ
was suspended with pay on April
20 after questions arose concern-
ing the accuracy of the testimony
he gave in Circuit Court.
Three weeks ago, Tarrant was
called to testify in District Court1
regarding an alleged assault of!
two University students by four3
other students in West Quad.
While on the witness stand, Tar-t
rant refused to give the name of1
one of the four assailants, on'
grounds that he had received that'

In sentencing Tarrant, Circuitf
Judge Ross W. Cambell said, "You
are not being punished for mis-
representing yourself to the Uni-2
versity of Michigan. You are notl
being punished for failure to an-
swer a question in District Court.7
You are being punished for com-
mitting perjury before this courtp
while under oath."t
Judge Cambell said Tarrant per-
jured himself four different times
when giving answers about his
background to Shea.
Reading from a transcript of
sworn tetimony, the judge listed
as instances of perjury:
-Tarrant's statement that he
had never attended Northwestern
High School in Detroit;
-His assertion that he had
never been convicted of a criminal
charge;
-His contention that he holds ar
bachelors degree from Michigan
State University and a masters de-
gree from Hunter College in New
York; and
--His statement that he never
held a Michigan driver's license.
Tarrant was taken to jail last
Tuesday, following the hearing.


Prosecutor Shea, throughout the I
four days of the hearing, attacked
Tarrant's position as a counselor
and charged he is not included in
any of the four categories of the
law.
The prosecutor also showed that
Tarrant does not possess the edu-
cational qualifications required by
his position at the University, al-
though his job application had
stated otherwise.
