the incident occurred after the alleged rape and was not related to the alleged incident itself nothing he made it seem like we were sitting by the fireplace telling horror stories harper maintains that the comments attributed to lorenze were totally unfair and that lorenze so distinctly told fineman his comments were off the record that it took my attention from the television ninety-nine percent were joking stories every now and then we got on a light hearted track and he'd tell us stories about his own college expe riences i am totally disgusted by the way the reporter used our stories to his see article page 8 were off the record but the ones i used were not fineman visited hill house last tues day said jeff harper 84 who was also quoted in the article our first state ment was we were not going to remark on delta tau delta house itself f told him we did not want to spread rumors that may not be true and have not been substantiated in court then he started asking about social regulations we had a very productive discussion — students opinions on the new rules lorenze said i allowed myself to be quoted on that but he used absolutely by jeff eichenfield an article about delta tau delta fra ternity that appered in sunday's phila delphia inquirer has been called untenable journalism an outrage by residents of the hill house who denied lending their names to tales of a legend ary orgy room and ghosts of women university students and an adminis trator have pointed out factual errors in other parts of the story as well in the article written by inquirer staff writer mark fineman george lorenze jr 84 is quoted as saying every night i wake up and hear a girl crying out in the hall . . we just assume it's the ghost of all the women who've been vio lated in this house my quotes were taken out of context off the record and distorted " lorenze said after seeing the article i lent my name to none of those incidents he knew that position lorenze said he abso lutely did not swear to fineman that the stories were true as was reported my personal reaction is that if it was off the record i would not have printed it fineman said the stories were impromptu they never specified it was off the record they did say some stories correction emory zimmers associate pro fessor of industrial engineering was incorrectly identified in fri day's issue as douglas abbott the brown and white regrets the error
