Board Tries Students
The Campus Judicial Board, a
new organization formed from
the old Honor Board and the
various other judicial bodies on
campus tried their first cases this
week. The Campus Board is
responsible for the trial of all
cases not considered to be
strictly dormitory offenses. It
also serves as an appelate body
in dormitory offenses, with the
Student Affairs Committee ser
ving as the next line of appeal.
Two charges of plagarism
from last semester were heard in
the first meeting of the board,
held Wednesday, September 22.
Both cases were resolved with
verdicts of guilty.
The first case, involving a
male senior charged with plagiar
ism on a geology term paper,
was brought to the attention of
the board after the end of last
semester, after the student
charged had graduated. The
student pleaded guilty and was
awarded a grade of "F" in the
course.
A freshman girl, charged with
cheating on the Man in the
Twentieth Century term paper,
was found guilty. The board de
cided that the offense was not
serious enough to merit an "F"
in the cpurse, but did award her
an "FXon the paper.
Violations of visitation rules
were the concern of the second
meeting of the Judicial Board,
held Wednesday, September 29.
Five such cases were heard.
Three, all involving, cases of men
in Binford dormitory, were com
pleted, while two others were
continued until next week.

Road Plans May Change
by Carla McKinney J C J
At a meeting Tuesday night
of the State Highway Commi
ssion in Raleigh, Guilford gained
some ground in the effort to
revise the proposal to widen
Friendly Road. Grimsley Hobbs,
David Parsons, Board of Trustee
chairman Edwin Brown, and
ex-chairman Robert Frazier pre
sented the college's contention
that the front of the Guilford
campus should not be viewed as
marginal land, but rahter as land
of historical importance to the
college and to the state.
As a result of this and
previous meetings, the commi
ssion called for an altered
proposal to be presented in
public hearing in Greensboro on
October 7. The new plan would
take 18 feet of right of way
from the college and 15 feet
from the businesses along the
south side of Friendly Road.
The intention had been to use
30 feet of college land in
widening the road to five lanes,
but the State Roads Commi
ssioner said that he would await
the hearing before making a firm
recommendation to the U.S.
Secretary of Transportation. It is
expected by commission engin-
A male senior was charged
with (a) Failure, to follow
registration procedure for inner
visitation in Binford dorm, (b)
Abusive language to dorm coor
dinator, (c) entering dorm ille
gally. The student was found to
be not guilty of the first and
third charges. Concerning the
abusive language, the student
was asked to make an apology to
the coordinator.
A similar case, involving a
sophomore male and the same
charges ended in opposite ver
dicts. The sophomore was found
to be guilty of the first and third
charges and not guilty of the
abusive language charge. This
student was reprimanded and
cautioned against further viola
tion.
A junior male was charged
with (a) leaving the dorm after
hours through a window, and (b)
threatening bodily harm to the
W-S Panthers Freed
Indictments against three
Winston-Salem Black Panthers
were quashed Monday by
Superior Court Judge James M.
Long, ending, at least temporar
ily, their trial. The three had
been charged in the theft of a
meat truck in January 1971. The
theft of the truck was followed
by a heavily armed police raid
on the Winston-Salem Panther
headquarters. The Judge's ruling
came in the second week of the
trial.
On trial were Larry D. Little,

eers that the revision will result
in an added cost of $265,000.
It was this consideration of
cost of right of way land which
had led the commission in its
original plan of last spring.
Robert Frazier, acting as attor
ney for the college, questioned
the $265,000 figure, and ex
plained that in the college's
mind the land in front of its
campus is not "marginal" al-
complainant.
No case was declared on the
initial charge, for reasons of
insufficient evidence. The stu
dent pled guilty to the threat
charge and was placed on disci
plinary probation for a period of
two semesters.
A student on disciplinary
probation is subject to suspen
sion for up to three semesters if
charged again with a similar
major offense within the period
of probation. A student on
probation may not participate in
campus activities.
Members of the judicial board
are Neil Rabin, chairman, M. L.
Carr, Faye Scales, Joel Deaton,
Mary Jane Voss, Ann Whitley,
Charlie Sewell,lngrid Wall, and
faculty advisors, Dr. Herbert
Appenzeller, and Dr. Norton
Robbins. Four voting faculty
members will be added to the
board as soon as the faculty
names them.
party, Julius W. Cornell, 27, and
Grady Fuller, 22.
The trial was ceased when the
Judge upheld a defense motion
which challenged the way in
which jurors for the trial were
selected. The Judge ruled that
the selection process excluded
persons between the ages of 18
and 21, and did not represent an
accurate cross section of Forsyth
County.
Solicitor Frank Yeager has
announced that they will appeal
the decision. Until that appeal,
the three defendants are free on
bond.
New road proposal lessens menace to campus
though it has no buildings.
A spokesman for the Federal
Bureau of Public Roads, said
that his agency would have to
review any change in plans
before a final decision, but did
not rule out the agency's partici
pation in the altered plan.
The highway commission's
first plan, before last springs'
series of appeals, was to widen
Friendly to seven lanes to
accomodate anticipated traffic
to the airport' and near-by
industries. The seven lane road
was designed to be sufficient for
a twenty year growth. The
revised five lane highway is
expected to be adequate for at
least ten years.
Dorms Choose
House Councils
Elections for the house coun
cils have been completed in most
of the dormitories, with the
remaining dorms expected to
elect their councils soon
Mary Hobbs Hall does not
have such a group yet. This is
because they do not have an
approved constitution yet,
according to resident coordina
tor Betsy Agniel.
The house council of Shore
Dorm is under the direction of
Ellen Sapp, president and Paula
Minges, vice-president. Members
of the council are Carol DeHa
ven, Louise Eliason, Janneece
Jarrard, Beth Lawrence and
Maijie Leland.
Shore has already tried a case,
that of a girl who came in late,
and assigned her to lock up the
dorm and be in from 7 p.m. to
7 a.m. for several days.
No house council has been
elected in 1968 dorm, but the
dorm officers who were elected
at the end of last year are: Vicki
Greene, President; Gray Kimel,
Vice-President; LynGordh , Sec
retary, and Ann Schofield, Trea
surer.

The original seven-lane plan
aroused so much opposition
from the Guilford community,
students, residents, and busi
nesses, that the Highway
Commission was forced to alter
their plans.
According to David Parsons,
there is "no hope" that the
college will not have to relin
quish any land to the widening.
Last spring, three alternates were
suggested to the seven lane road,
however, the design which
would have left the Guilford
campus intact, taking the nece
ssary land from the Friendly
Road merchants, was never
under serious consideration, due
primarily to the costs involved.
