According to Choe, Tsakonas agreed at theWednesday meeting to send The Crimson anexplanatory letter yesterday, and Choe said thatIsaza made it clear that if the letter was notsent, he would "take his own initiative" and senda letter.
The Crimson did not receive Tsakonas's letteryesterday.
The Business Club's top officer, CoordinatorDimitar J. Genov '94, said the charges ofunethical behavior stemmed from Hart's actions ata meeting last year.
Hart presented one of the club's speakers, aRussian businessperson from Siberia, with abusiness card reading "Dan Hart Consulting," Genovand others said.
Genov said Tsakonas regarded such behavior asunethical, and asked Hart to resign his position.
But Genov said, "I see nothing wrong with Hartgiving the speaker his card," and added he hopeshe and Hart will be able to reconcile thedifferences between their clubs.
Genov said he and Tsakonas had a "longargument" over this matter Wednesday night.
"Maybe he knew that Tsakonas was leaving, andthought he could be of use this year, and so gave[the Russian speaker] his card," Genov said.
"Konstantinos misunderstood the entireinteraction, and thought of it as a personalinterest thing. It got all screwed up," club VicePresident Reed Johnstone '96 said. "I amdisappointed that Konstantinos slandered Dan inthe Crimson article."
Hart said last week he did not act unethicallylast year. He refused to comment yesterday,calling the "attitude of The Crimson"unprofessional.
Hart, who was one of the most active members ofthe club last year, recruited many of this year'smembers, officials said. Hart did not likeTsakonas's less active approach, Genov said, andthere were tensions between the two.
Business Club Treasurer Richard A.Leigh-Pemberton '95 said yesterday that he isconcerned that too many changes could detract fromthe main purpose of the club.
"We are the Harvard Business Club, and we couldjust keep on going with what we are," saidLeigh-Pemberton. "It is hard to reach theconclusion that we need to change anything."
The club's constitution calls for officials tobe elected by appointment, and Tsakonas refused toappoint Hart as this year's director, Genov said.
Chang said the club's constitution, which wasamended in 1988, is not fully understood by manyof the club's members. Tsakonas was asked toexplain it at the Wednesday meeting, but did notadequately clarify it, Chang said.
