 Professor Losey stated tonight that he z considered it very unfair to give him such brief notice of the meeting. He declared that he had not had ample time to secure the evidence which he believes is avail able to support his charge that President Denny obliterated grades on the repor. cards of students. He will make formal protest to the trustees asking for addi- tional time, but it is considered certain that this will be denied. Professor Losey will then address the board in his own defense and at the sam tne reiterate his charges against Pr, aea anny and submit his evidence n an .m.
