new Summer court to ease burden By LAURA ANDERSON When the undergraduate Honor Court begins hearings during the second summer session, it will mark the first time the student court can hear cases on a year-round basis. The Campus Governing-Council created the summer court at the close of its session partly in order to relieve the burden of a large number of honor code violations reported last year, according to Student Attorney General Gary Jones. Will Chapman, chairman of the summer undergraduate court, said another reason" for the organization of 3 summer court was to maintain, consistency "Tor University students. -i-'-' ' Although the Hondr; Court has original jurisdiction in all student cases, all honor code violation hearings were previously conducted by the University Hearing Board, composed of three faculty members and two student representatives. Many of the cases .conducted in the summer are carryovers from the previous year. Chapman said. Jones added that the . many violations left over from last year arc a burden especially to the faculty members on 101 rrMTTmvrOs uuiiur Country Kitchen where you can enjoy Country cooking fresh vegetables and breakfast Eat in or take out , OPEN: Mon. - Sat. 7:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. Sunday 8:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. Phone: 942-5837 405 W.

Although future summer courts will be expected to begin hearing cases in the first summer session, this summer's court will not begin work until the beginning of July because of the problems involved in organizing the new court. Chapman said. "Our biggest limitation has been that of time," he noted. "We have to select people for court and we then have an orientation program for them. We also had to wait until school began to notify visiting students of the court." . Because summer sessions last less than six weeks, there are going to be some changes for the summer court, he added. Its size will be reduced from 40 students during the regular sessions to 15 on each court for the summer. Chapman said. He also indicated that the defense staffs will be reduced from 40 to three or four. "This of course will not affect the high quality of defense," Jones said. Chapman said there may be some slight changes in the terms of sanctions for those found guilty but that this will not be clear until later. He skid there is a possibility those sanctioned with suspension will be given terms of severance longer than the length of a summer session. Quotas of sex and race that have previously been used in all honor courts will not be used this summer or in the courts next fall or spring, according to Jones. The former rule of including at least 12 male and 1 2 female members on each case as well as a proportion of racial minority members had been, reversed by a court ruling in accordance with the Bakke decision. In Lawrence A..Uzzell v. William C. Friday. the decision made clear that reserving places on University elected bodies was unconstitutional, Jones explained. Foreign students get helping hand The start-of-the-year hassles of registration, locating classes, having a phone installed and generally getting oriented are enough to slow anyone down. But what if you were not only new to UNC but to the United States as well? The UNC International Center is attempting to make the transition easier for new foreign students through its Campus Friends program. The project, now in its fifth year, pairs American students with new foreign students for the first three to four weeks of the fall semester with the purpose of helping the foreign students adjust to campus and American life. Persons, particularly graduate students, wishing to participate in the program should contact Peter Topping, programs assistant at the Center at 933-5665. WIMi If1 IP "I n 3 J r? mm?
