GAS SHORTAGE
AFFECTS UNC-A
Because of the natural gas shortage, the
Infirmary and T.C. & A. are being closed
temporarily, and the dorms will not have
hot water.
The Infirmary personnel are being re
located in the kitchen in Vance Hall in the
Dormitory Village. The Office of Testing.
Counseling, and Advising will be relo
cated on the ground floor of the Ramsey
Library.
The dorms students will be seeing it
rough, with the heat turned down, and
having to take showers in the gymnasium.
All other buildings on campus are heated
with oil, but Dean of Students Paul T.
Deason states that we are also running out
of oil, and lack sufficient funds to keep up
the supply. Therefore, the temperature in
all other buildings will be held at 65 de
grees, until the weather changes or the
supplies increase.
So if you're shivering in class, take it
philosophically. And if you’re lovelorn,
there’s comfort in remembering that such
hardships have traditionally been con
sidered the cure.
Sellers Drops Charges Against
McCray in Campus Court
The Campus Court convened last week
to hear the case of Sellers versus McCray,
but decided to delay the hearing for one
week to give the defense. Dr. Bruce
Greenawalt, time to prepare his case. Ms.
Rose Sellers, however, decided to drop
charges after the meeting.
McCray was charged with verbal and
physical assault. The alleged offense
occurred November 2 at 7 P.M. in the
snack bar. There were repeated delays in
processing the case, because the Court was
incomplete, the Christmas break inter
fered, and the problems with registration
and the weather have prevented the mem
bers from having adequate time to review
the material on the case.
Greenawalt, according to several pres
ent in the closed meeting, stated that the
Court had not handled the case properly,
since he had not received the necessary
material in time to prepare a defense.
Brynn Brown, Chairman of the Campus
Court, stated later that Greenawalt's notif
ication of his intentions to defend McCray
did not include a request for material to be
sent.
The case would have set a precedent, as
being the only one heard by the Campus
Court which involved a charge made by a
student against another student. Dean
Deason states that Ms. Sellers’ decision to
not press charges any further does not
mean that the issue will be ignored. He
does not know at present how it will be
handled, but it is now his responsibility.
