The defendant was convicted of possession of marijuana, La.R.S. 40:966 subd. D., and sentenced to six months in the parish jail, 91 days of which were suspended. At the time of sentencing, the defendant was also placed on supervised probation for a period of one year.
From this conviction, he seeks this court’s review 1 and presents four perfected bills of exceptions for our consideration.2 The bills all relate to a motion to suppress certain evidence as unconstitutionally seized and to its denial.
The marijuana was seized pursuant to a search of Room 113 of Sallier Dormitory, as authorized by search warrant. The thrust of the attack upon the search as illegal concerns the alleged insufficiency of the affidavit upon which the warrant is based. (Bill Nos. 3 and 5.) Also, some rulings made during a motion to suppress are questioned (Bill Nos. 1 and 2) as allegedly curtailing the defendant’s right to test the truthfulness of the allegations therein contained.
Motion to Suppress
The affidavit is set forth as Appendix “A” to this opinion.
The affidavit is by two sheriff’s deputies. They state that, based upon information they had received from two informants, they had reasonable cause to believe that marijuana can be found in Room 113 of Sallier Dormitory. According to the affiants, both informants had seen the defendant use marijuana in Room 113. On *345several different occasions, one informant had seen him rolling and smoking the drug in this room of Sallier Dormitory.
One source was identified as a responsible citizen of utmost character and integrity, with a great interest in the youth of the community. The other source was simply identified as one with personal observation of the possession and use of the drug by the defendant at the room (see Footnote 4), which this informant identified as the defendant’s temporary location due to air-conditioning failure of his usual room in another dormitory.
The chief attacks upon the sufficiency of the affidavit relate to (a) the alleged insufficiency of the information relating to the reliability of the informants and (b) the alleged failure of the affidavit to disclose the recency of the information, so as to justify present probable cause to search the room.
O)
Under applicable jurisprudence, the affidavit “must set forth underlying circumstances and details sufficient to provide a substantial factual basis by which the magistrate might find reliable both the informant and the information given by him. Factors which support the credibility of an ^identified informant include prior accurate reports or any specific independent corroboration of the accuracy of the instant report. Factors which support the credibility of the information reported include (a) direct personal observation by the informant, or (b), if the information came indirectly to the informant, the reasons in sufficient factual detail for the magistrate to evaluate and credit the reliability both of the indirect source and of the indirectly-obtained information.” State v. Paciera, 290 So.2d 681, 685-686 (La.1974).
The present affidavit sufficiently indicates the reliability of information, insofar as being based upon recent 3 personal observation of the informants. The reliability of at least the first informant is shown by his general background and reputation (which, by itself, would not be sufficient, see Spinelli v. United States, 383 U.S. 410, 89 S.Ct. 584, 21 L.Ed.2d 637 (1969)), together with the independent corroboration of his information by the personal observation of a person additional to the affiant’s own personal observation. The information supplied by the two informants was reasonably detailed, recounting personal observation of the defendant’s possession and use of marijuana on frequent occasions in various places, including his room (No. 113) in Sallier Dormitory. The corroboration and the supporting details are sufficient bases for finding the informants reliable and credible. See United States v. Harris, 403 U.S. 573, 582-583, 91 S.Ct. 2075, 2081, 29 L.Ed.2d 723 (1971).
(b)
A more serious issue is presented as to whether the affidavit refers to information sufficiently recent so as to justify a finding of the evidence of probable cause at the time of the issuance of the search warrant. As stated in Sgro v. United States, 287 U.S. 206, 53 S.Ct. 138, 77 L.Ed. 260 (1932): “* * * it is manifest that the proof must be of facts so closely related to the time of the issue of the warrant as to justify a finding of probable cause at that time. * * * ”
The absence of a date for each episode described in the affidavit is not fatal, however. The language of the affidavit, including the use of the present tense, indicates that the affiants are describing a course of conduct continuing to the date of the warrant. The reference to the temporary move to Sallier Dormitory, because of a breakdown in the air-conditioning in his usual room in Ziegler Dormitory, re-en*346forces the immediacy of the information conveyed.4
Such an affidavit has been held to be adequate if, in a commonsense construction, it can be said from the face of the affidavit that the information received by the affiant was current and not stale. See: Borras v. State, 229 So.2d 244 (Fla., 1969); State v. Clay, 7 Wash.App. 631, 501 P.2d 603 (1973), Sutton v. State, 419 S.W.2d 857 (Tex.Cr.App., 1967); Lewis v. State, 126 Ga.App. 123, 190 S.E.2d 123 (1972). See also Annotation, Search Warrant : Sufficiency of showing as to time of occurrence of facts relied upon, 100 ALR 2d 525 (1965).
As the United States Supreme Court stated in United States v. Ventresca, 380 U.S. 102, 108, 85 S.Ct, 741, 746, 13 L.Ed.2d 684 (1965) :
“[T]he Fourth Amendment’s commands, like all constitutional requirements, are practical and not abstract. If the teachings of the Court’s cases are ro be followed and the constitutional policy served, affidavits for search warrants, such as the one involved here, must be tested and interpreted by magistrates and courts in a commonsense and realistic fashion. They are normally drafted by nonlawyers in the midst and haste of a criminal investigation. Technical requirements of elaborate specificity once exacted under common law pleadings have no proper place in this area. A grudging or negative attitude by reviewing courts toward warrants will tend to discourage police officers from submitting their evidence to a judicial officer before acting.”
Thus, we find to be without merit Bill No. 3, taken to the denial of the motion to suppress, and Bill No. 5, taken to the denial of a motion for a new trial based on this error.5
The Other Bills
Bill Nos. I and 2 were taken to rulings during the hearing on the motion to suppress. The trial court sustained objections to questioning of the police officers. The purpose of the questioning, according to the defendant’s brief, is to test the truthfulness of the affiants who executed the affidavit. State v. Melson, 284 So.2d 873 (La.1973).
However, the motions to suppress do not attack the credibility of the affiant police officers who executed the affidavit. In fact, no serious issue as to their personal credibility is raised. The trial court therefore properly sustained objection to the questions. The credibility of the af-fiants was not at issue, and questions asked to test same were not therefore within the functional scope of the motion to suppress. State v. Giordano, 284 So.2d 880 (La.1973).
*347 Decree
For the foregoing reasons, we affirm the conviction and sentence.
Affirmed.
BARHAM, J., dissents with reasons.
APPENDIX A
The affidavit recites:
“BEFORE ME HONORABLE CECIL C. CUTRER, Judge comes Deputies Theos Du-hon and Gary Morford, who deposes and says:
That he has reasonable cause to suspect and does suspect and verily believe that certain Marijuana can be found in Room 113 of Sallier Dormitory, McNeese State University, Lake Charles, Louisiana, which is occupied by Barry Boudreaux. This Affidavit is based on the following facts: This Department has received information from two (2) sources, both who state that Boudreaux is a frequent user of Marijuana. This first source is a responsible citizen of the utmost character and integrity, and has a great interest in the youth of Lake Charles, Louisiana. This informant reported to this Department in the interest of keeping the youth of Lake Charles from abusing drugs, that Boudreaux frequently uses Marijuana in Sallier Dorm, usually on the second floor of the dormitory, which is unoccupied and also in his room. On several different occasions, this source lias seen Barry Boudreaux rolling and smoking Marijuana in his room at McNeese, room 113 of Sallier Dormitory. This same person stated that Boudreaux frequently goes to the room of Jack Blacketter, room 124, and they have Marijuana in the rooms, and often hold parties. The second source advised this Department that Boudreaux is temporarily staying in room 113 of Ziegler, as the air conditioning of his usual room in Ziegler Dormitory is not functioning. This source states that Boudreaux frequently uses the second floor of the dormitory, as the second floor is not occupied, to smoke Marijuana. This second source further stated that on several different occasions he has observed Boudreaux keep Marijuana in his room and has seen him hold Marijuana parties on the second floor of the dormitory and also in his room, Room 113. This second source also reported that Blacketter rolls Marijuana in Jack Blacketter’s room, due to his rolling expertise. He further stated that Blacketter keeps the Marijuana hidden in the closet of his room.”
