Re "The Duck Rule"
There is an easy way to beat the argument that an event wasn't an official event because it wasn't on the calendar or in the minutes:
"Mr. President, if you had an activity that you thought that the general fraternity would not approve of, would you still put it on the calendar/"
"No sir"
"The branding wasn't on the calendar, was it?"
"No sir"
"So you deny that you were trying to hide it from your national fraternity?"
It's an argumentative question, and the Judge would throw it out, but itis the asking of the question that the jury often hears, and not the answer.
