Emotions are running high at the Harvard Business Club, as officers attempt to set aside personal differences to negotiate the constitution and future of their organization, officials said.

Club officers said they met for several hours Wednesday night following The Crimson's publication of allegations that member Daniel W. Hart '95 behaved unethically, was forced to resign from the club and founded a competing organization over the summer.

Hart's status with the club is unclear. Some members said that by the club's constitution, Hart should have been president this year. But the allegations by Konstantinos G. Tsakonas '93, who was president last year, have confused the situation.

Also, several members said they do not fully understand the club's constitution, which they said has led to the intervention of Dean Archie C. Epps III.

Hart's friends regarded the allegations against Hart by Tsakonas as unsubstantiated and cowardly, according to Kaeleil D. Isaza '94-95 and three others.

Isaza, who describes himself as one of Hart's "friends," said he asked Tsakonas to describe Hart's purportedly unethical behavior at the meeting.

"But he wouldn't tell me," Isaza said. "He just made more and more allegations."

Isaza and Tsakonas had a standoff during the meeting. Tsakonas said he felt threatened when Isaza stood up during the meeting, which was held in a room in the Science Center, and demanded to talk to Tsakonas outside of the room.

As Isaza walked out, according to Isaza, "I looked at Dan [Hart] and said, `I would like to beat the shit out of this guy."' Isaza said he also said to Tsakonas, "You don't have balls," mean- ing he didn't have courage to back up hisaccusations against Hart.

Isaza said last night that he only made hiscomments in "the emotion of the moment."

Tsakonas later left the room, and eventuallymet Isaza and others in the Science Center'sGreenhouse Cafe.

Isaza said Tsakonas then asked him where he wasfrom, and Isaza initially refused to respond."When I said I was from Colombia, he said, `Don'ttalk to me in your dirty Colombian street talk,'"Isaza said.

Tsakonas acknowledged that he asked Isaza abouthis background, but he said any comments he madewere provoked by Isaza's aggressive remarks andwere in no way aimed at his specific nationality.

Isaza, Choe and Steven C. Chang '94 all saidthe argument came to a positive resolution.

"It was a very heated argument," Chang said."But in the end, they came to an agreement." Choeand Isaza also said the meeting's resolution waspositive.

Anthony U. Choe '94 said it was generallyagreed that another meeting would be held, where avote of confidence would be taken for Hart as thepresident of the club.
