UI postpones WSA hearing
The University of Iowa hearing on charges against the Worker Student Alliance group (WSA) and a member of that group has been postponed to Thursday, April 13.
The open hearing, originally scheduled for today, will be before University Hearing Officer Theodore Garfield, and will be held in the small courtroom of the Johnson Country Courthouse at 10 a.m.
The hearing was postponed at the request of WSA, according to Howard N. Sokol, assistant to the provost. 
WSA is charged by the UI with violating rules of campus conduct by acting in the name of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) while SDS was on suspension. 
Simon J. Piller, 21, 321 South Johnson Street, is charged with aiding WSA in the violation of the rules. 
Sokol, who will act as prosecutor for the university, said the hearing was slated for the courthouse because "that's where we've held practically all of the hearings in the past," and its closer to the central campus than the law building.
He added that the courthouse, since it is a public building, is being used rent free.
