"I don't think there's a structural problem with objectivity. If they follow the standard military pro cedures outlined, it's a really sound procedure for producing objective decisions." As of Thursday, Col. James L. McCleskey, chief of operations and training and investigating of ficer in this case, declined to com ment about the status of the inves tigation. James Nelson, an associate of ethical studies at the Hastings Center in New York, said the ap pearance of justice is often more important than the verdict. "The perception that justice is being done is an important part of justice," he said. "The Corps must make it clear they are han dling it right." Nelson said public confidence in the Corps' review policies may be weakened because this investi gation has been kept internal.

"They have the motivation to be as objective as possible," he "The Corps must make it clear they are handling it right." -Dr. Paul Thompson philosophy professor said. "Any organization needs to prove it can run its own ship re sponsibly." Dr. John J. Koldus III, vice president for student services, said if the Corps finds the male guilty, the worst punishment he faces is dismissal from the institu tion.
