"A lot of [the Peninsula] is conservative. It'snot surprising that they're in the RepublicanClub," Campbell said. "There's like 10 or 15people from Peninsula. That's only 10 or 15percent of the club."
The former HRC president said that the HRAcould not even qualify as a Republican clubbecause it fails to follow the Republicanplatform.
"The official position of the HRC is directlydetermined by the national platform," Campbellsaid.
"I find it hard to believe that you can callyourself a Republican if you don't even follow theRepublican platform," Campbell added.
He accused the founders of the new RepublicanAlliance of wanting to pad their resumes with thefounding of a new organization.
"When you lose an election, it's kind of niceto say for law schools that I'm president of HRA,"Campbell said. "It's kind of interesting when youlook at the membership of the club, everyone is anofficer."
"If that's not resume padding, I don't knowwhat is," Campbell added.
Scott L. Tribble '98, secretary of the HRA saidthat the HRA has approximately 80 members.
"Our exec board does not have 80 members. Ourexec board has about 10 members," Tribble said.
`Silence Tactics'
Another accusation included on the listsubmitted to The Crimson was that certain membersof the HRC had sought to silence its more moderateopponents in the organization and even went so faras to use deceit to force William Zerhouni '98,the former HRC freshman member-at-large, from theexecutive board last month.
But Zerhouni disagreed with thatcharacterization of his removal, saying he wasremoved from the board because of his differenceswith Campbell and Malone.
"I think the real reason I was kicked out was Isaid some negative things about Brad and Brian inPeninsula. I am more pro-choice, libertarian inoutlook and tolerant of homosexuals," Zerhounisaid in an interview last Wednesday.
Zerhouni said that Dickerson had informed himthat he had to leave the executive board becausehe had accumulated four unexcused absences fromexecutive board meetings.
According to Zerhouni, two of the allegedunexcused absences were legitimate, but the othertwo were "absolutely not true."
