Page 4 Two Guilford Students Tell of Work with Joan Little Case by Linda Rayburn One of the most controver sial issues being discussed today is the case of Joanne Little. This woman was indicted on September 11, 1974 for first degree murder in the killing of a North Carolina jailer. Since that time she has been found "not guilty", as the act was performed in self-defense. Several students of Guilford College have become quite involved with the case. One such involvement included the one day fast held by approximately one hundred students. The money resulting from the fast, $156, was to be pledged to the Joanne Little Defense Fund, to help pay for the defense expenses of Ms. Little. Two students of Guilford become directly associated with Joanne's lawyers during the trial. Both Tyree Barnes and Bunk James gave a lot of their hard work and time to the case, and both have certainly benefited from the experience. Tyree bega .i working for the Paul, Keenan, Rowan and Galloway law firm some time before the Little case arose. How many Americans have seen this magnificent sight? A view of the Kremlin in Moscow. This, and many other experiences are in store for Guilford students who "study abroad" during the summer. We will be having a meeting for everybody on Sundasy evening, Nov. 16 at 7:00 in the Gallery, Founders'. Come find out what the program's all about Draft classification. When he turns 26, his files are destroyed. The system in effect now has six classifications open for conscientious objectors, none of which requires military combat. One such classifica tion is 1-A-O which is for men who are willing to be in the armed forces but won't bear arms. These men can be given jobs such as drivers or cooks. Full conscientious objectors can be given the classification of 1-W. This allows these men to be "drafted" for 2 years of work of national importance here in this country. This sort of work is in hospitals, etc., When Jerry Paul and Karen Galloway were appointed as Ms. Little's attorneys, Tyree became interested and began to work specifically with the case. She first worked with the fund, usually writing thank you notes to all contributors. Tyree also ran general errands for the attorneys, and was on hand when needed. She gradually worked her way into a close relationship with Karen Galloway, the only female attorney ever in contact with Joanne, and worked specifically with her. Tyree has had the unusual experience of living with Joanne for a weekend. She describes Ms. Little as always maintaining a calm air despite being on trial for murder. She also appeared in Jet magazine with Joanne as a result of a trip to Washington, D.C. Tyree found her work both exciting and rewarding, and continues to work for Mr. Pual and Ms. Galloway when time permits. The second half of this two student team is Bunk James, whose association with the case comes as a result of a close bond with Jerry Paul. Bunk describes Mr. Paul as s Continued from Page 1 but must be approved by the draft board. There are some proposals under consideration now which could significantly change the present regula tions of the SSS. One of these would change the procedures for registration. The proposed change would call for the men turning 18 to register within the calender year of their birthday, but at a given time. Another proposal is one that would give no classification to anyone, no matter what the circumstances are. There are many places which have draft counceling. The Gullfordian "sort of guardian", whom he lives with off and on. He had worked for the firm for two years before the case so he was quite familiar with all attorneys. During the trial, Bunk was somewhat of a legal assistant. He took notes in court and was responsible for care of the witnesses. He, as Tyree did, enjoyed his work, considering that this job was generally voluntary for him, (Tyree was paid), and throughout the case was paid for a month's work. Several bad experiences occurred during the trial, as a result of meeting people who "were not on the same wavelength" as he was. Ideas and views conflicted, and the trial allowed for all types of people to view the case. Bunk states that the "trial itself was a bad experience." However "bad" this trial was, his opinion of Joanne Little is parallel to that of Tyree's. He said that she carried herself as well as could be expected in court, still remaining composed. It was only out of court that she would allow herself to loosen up a bit, becoming more at ease. Tutorial Service Ask Us!

Prof. Bill Beidler of Philosophy and Prof. Ed. Burrows of History are available for such councilling even though there is no drafting going at this time. Prof. Burrows suggests that anyone considering himself a conscientious objector should fill out and send in the SSS Form 150 under the present system and if the proposed plans are passed, he should write a letter stating what his beliefs are and that he would like them in his files and send the letter to the draft board so that it will be on record. ■pr*^ Ronald Goldfarb Schedule Here is a somewhat revised schedule for Ronald L.
