The whole story was written for the benefit of the students. Because of that, they will probably have more empathy." "We felt the students would be more receptive to our needs," said Keyes, a freshman in pre-journaliim. Keyes, whose involvement in the story was limited to allowing Nelson to use his name and Social Securitynumber, admitted be was surprised that charges were pressed against him.

"I was a little surprised, since his (Keyes) involvement was quite minor," Gillissaid. The two students will be represented at the hearing by members of the Defender Advocate, a group of law students at the university. They also will have the backing of the Red and Black and several outside groups, such as the American Civil Liberties Union. "We look at this as a matter involving the paper, not just the students," GUlis said. George A.

Hough, head of the news' editorial sequence in the university's journalism school, sent a letter to Nelson Thursday offering his support in the case. the checkout of library books. Director of Student Activities Bill Powell, whose department fa responsible for issuing ID cards, then sent a letter to the student judiciary requesting that Nelson be punished. According to Powell, Nelson lied on a form that must be filled out to receive a student ID card and forged the signature of another student, Keyes. "The way he got the ID was to misrepresent himself and his situation," Powell said at the time.

"In a technical sense, the charges are against two who violated university regulations," said Justin Gil-lis, managing editor of the Red and Black. "But in the important sense, the case is against the paper. It (the rules-breaking) was perpetrated for the purpose of writing a story for the Red and Black. "Our defense will surely be the cir-cums Lances surrounding David falsifying the the said. At the Thursday meeting, the students were given the option of a hearing before the student judiciary or an administrative hearing, but they opted for the student hearing.

By Bill Kraeger ComlHutlM Slitt Ntwt Strvlct Charges have been 'brought against two student reporters at "'the University of Georgia who violated university regulations while working on a story that proved it was easy to obtain a fake student-identification card. In a meeting Thursday between university officials and the campus newspaper, the Red and Black, it was determined that a hearing for David Nelson and Bob Keyes would be held before the main court of the student judiciary at 7 p.m. May 21. "The students are not denying their guilt; they did violate university regulation! What we're looking for is support on the ethical issues," said Charles Russell, general manager of the Red and Black.

Nelson, a Junior majoring In journalism, wrote in a copyright story in the April 30 issue of the Red and Black that it "was surprisingly easy" to falsify a student ID card.
