Not A Dozen

After the teach-in Mr. Shand told this reporter he had not contacted a dozen people as was stated earlier in this story. He claimed that he had only said "about half a dozen" when interviewed earlier.

When the reporter insisted that Mr. Shand had said "about a dozen," Mr. Shand said it couldn't have been a dozen because he couldn't think of more than half a dozen people he could have rung.

At the same time, Mr. Shand offered a further explanation for his approaches to speakers, "I wanted to know which of the listed subjects (provided by the student organisers) had been selected by other speakers." he said.
