Why w a s s o r o r i t y rush at
LHS lower t h i s s e m e s t e r than

It s e e m s quite a few s o r o r i t i e s were a s k i n g t h e m s e l v e s

arraigned with Holderman, were
dropped at the beginning of the
proceedings.
The voung man,
unable to post the $2,000 bail,
(originally $10,000) hud been
imprisoned since January 17.
The two s u s p e c t s were among

11 others who were taken down

Lieutenant Harry E i c h e n l a u b of
the Lock Haven Police Force
had read a search warrant to
Holderman. The other s u s p e c t s

At the hearing

attorney, attempted to question
the conditions under which the
search warrant w a s issued. After
much confusion,
the
