President Hoover, at least in the newspapers, seems ready to
assume the student's guilt. In this morning's Lewiston Trib
there is this indirect quote:

Hoover said he felt Al-Hussayen had betrayed the school
which offered him a quality education.

Other UI officials, it seems to me, have done well at doing
their jobs, working in the best interests of all elements of
the university -- including foreign students -- and of
constitutional principles.
