On trial for failure to live up to his responsibilities as a Uni versity student. Howard was de fended by Ted Sorenson, law student at the University. The Rev. Rex Knowles of the Tresby terian Student House acted as prosecuting attorney. Sorenson supplemented h i s fight for a reprieve with several brilliant and convincing wit nesses.
